Day 2

Completed https://leetcode.com/problems/delete-columns-to-make-sorted-ii/. This took way too long. I definitely need to just throw up my hands and look at the solution, instead of wasting more hours trying to figure it out. I eventually got it but the effort is wasted. Could have spent that time understanding the solution and moving on.

Completed https://leetcode.com/problems/split-linked-list-in-parts/. This was much easier than the previous one. Just need to know how to split the list. Each part gets at least "size of list" / k. Get the remainder of "size of list" / k, so each part gets a single remainder until the remainder runs out. 10/3 is 3 remainder 1. Each part has at least 3. First part gets an extra 1. If it were 11/3, then each part gets 3 but part 1 and part 2 gets a remainder, as the remainder is 2.

I may ramp up the number of daily leetcode questions depending on how I'm feeling.

In terms of system design. It's hard to choose a starting point, but I'll stick with this free PDF.
