We carried over from last week and kept doing algos! This week we talked about:
- Diffie Hellman
- Radix Trees: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/321479.321481
- Kadane's Algorithm
- Raft's Leader Election: https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf

Mike wanted to talk about our favorite algorithms this week, so we covered a few:
- Fast Fourier Transforms
- Hyperloglog

Some references are below:

- Article in Communications of the ACM: What Is an Algorithm?
- Al-Khwarizmi (mathematician, wikipedia page)
- HyperLogLog Paper: https://algo.inria.fr/flajolet/Publications/FlFuGaMe07.pdf

In this episode, Mike and Erik go back to the topic of time in order to explore what is specifically frustrating to programmers about dealing with time. Why's it so hard and annoying? And why do people get so irritated when we ask them a bunch of questions about what they really want us to build with respect to time?

We also mentioned on this and our last episode that there are some new ways to reach out to us (in addition to our email address), but they are:
