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'

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

A common sense guide

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.

I'm currently slogging through the Illuminatas trilogy, things finally feel like they're starting to make sense. Let's hope it stays like that

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 liked the OCaml website
