Ollama provides an interface to self-host and interact with open-source LLMs (Large Language Models) using its binary or container image. Managing LLMs using Ollama is like managing container lifecycle using container engines like docker or podman. Ollama commands pull and run are used to download and execute LLMs respectively, just like the ones used to manage containers with podman or docker. Tags like 13b-python and 7b-code are used to manage different variations of an LLM....

Until now I’ve been using Visual Studio Code as my primary code editor because I try different Linux distributions on my laptop and VSCode is available by default in almost every application manager. When I open a new project, the VSCode suggests relevant extensions based on the tech stack. After hearing the praises for Neovim from Primeagen and TJ DeVries I decided to give it a go along with other command line utilities like tmux and lazygit to test if they optimize my development workflow....

The linked list data structure is used to store sequential data using nodes. A node contains a value and the memory address of the next node. Memory for a new node is allocated dynamically i.e. nodes are stored in the next available memory location. Unlike arrays where contiguous blocks of memory are allocated during declaration. The first element in a linked list is marked by its head pointer. Here is an implementation of Linked List in Go...

Problem Statement We have to implement the longestConsecutive function that takes an integer array as input and returns the length of the longest sequence of consecutive integers. For example, in array [4, 2, 7, 8, 1, 5, 6, 0] we have two sequences of consecutive integers: [0, 1, 2] and [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. The longest sequence ([4, 5, 6, 7, 8]) has length 5. Brute Force Solution It would be easier to find consecutive sequences if the input array is sorted....

Problem Statement We have to implement an encode function that takes a list of string values as input and returns a single encoded string that could be transmitted over a network. On the other side of the network, the decode function will take the encoded string as input and return the original list of string values as output. A delimiter could be used to differentiate between words. For example, ["Hello", "World"] could be encoded with comma delimiter (,) to "Hello,World"....
