If you want to improve your problem solving skills, I’d suggest solving actual problems. Data structures and algorithms can be very satisfying in their own right, but the real value is in taking a real-world problem and translating it into code.

It also depends what you want to do with your knowledge. There are domains that are deeply technical and require a lot of the things you’ve mentioned, but they also tend to be pretty hard to break into. A lot of software is not so deep. Any software project will have need for good domain modeling, architecture, and maintainability. Again, these are things best learned through practice.

Are you implying that sports aren’t popular everywhere or that everywhere is a dictatorship?

Don’t airlines usually charge a bit extra to pick your own seat? I’d imagine/hope that there are enough people selecting the cheaper “whatever” option that they’re going to bump one of those.

I loved the controller except for the long pull on the shoulder buttons.

Well it wasn’t a website, for what it’s worth.

Tangentially related, I remember at one of my jobs being tasked (several years in a row) with updating the copyright year in all our source files’ headers.

Whoa, so cats came from coconuts?

I suspect there are a lot of “Rust devs” that are little more than kool-aid drinkers. Common refrains are that Rust is the fastest language, most type-safe language, and most powerful language. Rust certainly seems to move the state of the art forward in some ways, but you can still write garbage code in it.

I’ve worked with lots of different people in lots of different languages, and I think I’d rather good people in a bad language than the other way around by a mile.

What it actually is saying is that all that showing off IS their reward and God isn’t going to do anything for them. To be fair, God isn’t doing anything for anyone, so I guess you might as well put on a good show.

Kind of a strange bill, allowing home cultivation but imposing a fine for possession. I assume it means possession outside of the house. I don’t know enough about EU and Luxembourgish politics to say if it’s a good bill or a bad bill, but it certainly seems like a step in some direction.
