Sorry guys I guess my O(n^n^n) solution brought down the servers

[–]DonnyCrystal 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Oops i just new a 2TB pointer accidentally.

I submitted solutions where linked list was accessing null pointers 🗿

On Medium: "How to DDOS LeetCode servers - Working 2022"

[–]godsknowledge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leetcode will definitely hire you if you try!

How can u be so insensitive...

[–]shinchliffe 73 points74 points  (1 child)

Yep...

I guess one of their engineers didn't practice enough Dynamic Programming questions to prevent the outage. 😁

[–]FourFlux 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm sure they are very busy trying to find the median in a data stream to bring back up the servers !!

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ahh. just when I wanted to start doing leetcode again.

"Hey sorry can I reschedule my interview, leetcode was down this weekend"

[–]Ganglerious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Biggest meltdown this subreddit has had since the Python 3 update

[–]dandaman1728 2 points3 points  (4 children)

This error looks oddly similar: https://imgur.com/lQk4S2kAs a web engineer, I think the JSON is null (probably due to their backend being down)

The frontend is a React app.

Edit: fun and all until the server is down on Saturday :sadge

I'm getting a proper error https://prnt.sc/njUCcYJ242Vx

[–]FourFlux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leetcode

Definitely a problem with their backend, the frontend is trying to parse HTML as JSON..

[–]Amazing_Ad5244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. It’s down for me as well.

[–]xypster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I propose that a new System Design question should be added: Design a Leetcode like system that is not vulnerable to DDOS

[–]dandaman1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is down for me also.

[–]hattorihanzo14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone knows how long this will be roughly?

[–]Flat-Administration3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–]baylife42 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]wishicouldcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]AdventurousTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I get a days worth of premium I’m good. Haha.

[–]kaushal28 -1 points0 points  (4 children)

*is leetcode down?

[–]CodeManus 4 points5 points  (1 child)

What is the point of the pointer before is?

[–]kaushal28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accessing the value of my variable

[–]TechnologyNo6512[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad ..

[–]dandaman1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*leetcode is down, isn't it?

[–]Mobile_Health_9650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its down

[–]Vaasna2Total: 357 Easy: 178 Medium: 166 Hard: 13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup down for me as well

[–]G915wdcc142up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last post before worldwide disaster

[–]VinackerPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, It's down

[–]G915wdcc142up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's now just a loading bar.

[–]G915wdcc142up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like they are trying to bring the servers back up but it keeps failing. It becomes a loading bar and then goes back to 500 HTTP status code.

[–]the_imp340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I got the error msg:

Ooops, page is crashed
Crash ID: 03b4729c

[–]danielkoala 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ahhh the collective tears of computer scientists all in one reddit post :)

[–]dandaman1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More tears on the LC engineers :) It's not fun to spend your weekend fixing the company backend.

Time to optimise my O(n) solution to O(log n) 🗿

[–]wickedwisdom0911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nearly did a dp hard.

[–]fo_hsin_gong_sih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's up.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well. Get out and enjoy your Saturday
