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

There's a Wattpad Novel, "Running with Scissor", where the mc's body and soul are separated by some sort of spell and he has to recover his body before midnight or the spell becomes permanent. It's pretty good absurdist humour reminescent of The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

Reading the manga she likes homos not me. It's about this gay highschool student who wants to live a "normal" life so he hides his sexuality from his family and friends. The manga was absolutely heartbreaking and it was my first encounter with the shit people go through for being different and it made me realize that gay people are just people too, which should be obvious but I'm from a country where homophobia is normalized and even encouraged. I started thinking more after that and I guess that's when it clicked to me really that everybody deserves love.

I used to get sleep paralysis fairly frequently a while back. Some nights it would happen multiple times in a row. I never had any hallucinations, and for some reason I could always wake up properly by focusing really hard on my right foot.

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I avoid using distro package managers since they tend to be a bit outdated in this regard, and specialised package managers like SDKMAN!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.

I had this set-up a couple months ago, no glaring issues that I can remember, but I also don't have any fancy hardware so...
