Thanks for all the info. This makes me want to try it even more now!

There are plenty of good resources online. Here are some topics you probably wouldn't see in an intro algos course (which I've actually used in my career). And I highly recommend finding the motivation for each of these in application rather than just learning them abstractly.
- bloom filter
- btree
- b+ tree
- consensus algos (PAXOS, RAFT, VSR, etc)
- error correction codes (Hamming, Reed Solomon, etc)
- garbage collection (mark+sweep, generational, etc)
- generational arena allocator
- lease (i.e. distributed lock)
- log-structured merge trees
- min-cost + max-flow
- request caching and coalescing
- reservoir sampling
- spatial partition (BVH, kd-tree, etc)
- trie
- write-ahead log
That's good to hear. Is it as easy to navigate and customize as Sway/i3?
2001: A Space Odyssey
Just epic classical music.
Spirited Away
Joe Hisaishi fits the fantastical setting perfectly. Lots of bittersweet, exciting, and meditative moods, each placed in the perfect scene.
Tarantino's movies usually have a great song selection.
Full Metal Jacket
Hearing "Bird is the Word" juxtaposed with the Vietnam War is just a crazy choice that paid off.
Nobody (2021)
Turned me on to Luther Allison. Not a "best soundtrack" but it definitely stands out.
O Brother is great for some classic folk.
Oh yeah what kind of phone do you have?

Looks like some cursed 3D model out of Jimmy Neutron.
Is that because you have a daemon in your brain, swapping neurons to force you to pronounce it wrong?
Those specs are crazy. Probably going to cost a fortune.
My point wasn't so much that I think RED is shady but that exposing my IP seems like an unnecessary requirement to join. Why can I not have my membership tracked via an anonymous account? If they are concerned about account harvesting or something, then the interview already seems like a good enough measure, accompanied by seed ratio minimums.
