I feel like it's pretty similar but the low population makes it easier to spot repeat posters. Also I feel like the quality of answers tend to better (lengthier, more thought out, e.t.c)

Tbf, if enough of them are bad at marching it doesn't really matter how good the others are

I'm not entirely sure what the first spark was, but I've always loved tracing the etymologies of words seeing how they transformed from one language to another has always been huge for me, how languages with similar origins could be drastically different.

I'm also in love with "Old English"-like dialogue in fantasy novels.

I think it's also related to my obsession with comparing programming languages, I've spent way more time learning new ones rather than actually writing code, it's just really fascinating reading about how they approach the same things differently

Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit. I completely forgot about this manga, one of the first I ever read and it got me into mtg. I think it went on hiatus right? omg thank you so much, I am so excited to finally finish this happy gutteral squealing noises

Bulgarian-rose scented sounds marvellous

While I agree it's too broad of a statement, I doubt it's really split along party lines. I feel like most people irl don't really lean heavily into politics while doing jobs and probably even have well-defined politics. I also don't think you need to have experienced something firsthand to sympatheze better

I've honestly forgotten how fucking cool the pipe operator is

Am I the only one who finds the wording 'accused him of rape' very icky'

I'm not OP but, I think it says a lot about the kind of person you are if you're even just thinking about trying your best constantly. Plus your life honestly sounds close to the ideal that most people here are chasing, if you're content with that that, then I don't think there's anything wrong with continuing to live your life as you fit. Also, I think everyone always has things they could do better and that's just how it is

Skiena's Algorithm design manual is very widely recommended for learning algorithms, I've also heard good things about A common sense guide to algorithms and data structures. Skiena's also has video lectures on YouTube if you prefer videos.

From what I've seen, a common sense guide seems to be more geared towards newer programmers while Skiena assumes more experience. Consequently, Skiena goes into more depth while A common sense guide seems to be more focused on what you specifically asked for. algorithm design manual

I love how by default most tables were wooden and the balls were mostly about baseball size

 

Usually, I prefer manually installing the packages needed for getting started with a new language or technlogy.

I avoid using distro package managers since they tend to be a bit outdated in this regard, and specialised package managers like SDKMAN! seem overkill for one or more packages. Exceptions being languages with excellent tooling and version management like Rust or Ocaml.

I've been doing this for a while and was wondering what the general consensus is

Edit: Thanks for your replies everyone! I've decided to stick with my distro package manager.
