Yeah, answering questions and debugging issues sounds great to me... As long as the employer acknowledges that takes time and work, and brings value. And also somewhat acknowledges it as a proper role, and not something being done "in the meanwhile"/"on the side", since just interrupting work to answer questions knocks you out of the flow, so to speak.

This is certainly an odd suggestion, and not what you're really asking for, but makes me think of Space Station 13. It's a janky round-based multiplayer roleplay/social intrigue game. It's free, and the game is opensource (though not the engine), which also leads to there being many servers with unique variations. It's cheating to suggest a multiplayer game when talking about single player natural language processing games, but using actual players is probably the easiest way to pull it off.
The reason it reminds me is because on a roleplay server, you've got something like 20 people, each with their job to do, talking to each other, talking on common radio, etc. - and if you're lucky, a player playing as the station AI, complete with a (modifiable) lawset they have to follow, Asimov's laws style. And of course, a few antagonists that have objectives to do.
If you're curious, I personally recommend BeeStation, though there are a lot of fine choices for the server, just maybe stay away from the 18+ ones.
It definitely didn't always require a wipe - I think it might be storage encryption by default that was introduced, that made it a requirement, where modifying/replacing system/bootloader components means it can't decrypt the data anymore.
You can call "bs" all you want, but you're yelling at the messenger. If I understand the situation correctly, you're using an Amazon service, so Amazon promoting Amazon stuff on that service might count as self-promotion (or whatever the term is) rather than advertisement. The difference being that they're not being paid by somebody to promote their thing, and just calling out their own services/events.
Note that I'm also not supporting this, I don't like it, but I'm also not surprised if that's how that works, and that Amazon would be using it this way.
Nah, especially knowing the channel it's from, it's just a joke, a twist on the word "solarpunk".
In a literal sense, yes - shadows are the blind spots where a light source is obscured by an object, so more light sourced mean each object can cast an additional shadow.
If you omit the plural, then potentially more light means less shadow - since the shadows become generally less shaded, receiving more light overall.
However, we're ultimately talking about the metaphysical, so the definition of shadow might be more intricate (and philosophical). Are shadows about the lack of light, or about the contrast between light and dark? Does a completely enclosed room with zero light inside have any shadow, or is it that a shadow can only exist in the presence of light?
Eh, there's plenty of community for projects like XLibre where that seems more likely, what with the "anti-woke" ideas.
It's your OS; you're allowed to customize it with 3rd party tools as you see fit.
You're allowed to as long as you're not violating the ToS/EULA you signed ;D
I would argue that memorization is important, but what you memorize and how you arrive at that is very personal. Forcing kids to memorize very specific things, and trying to enforce memorization (as opposed to the ability to arrive at the solution) seems like a bad idea to me.
I still don't have the 10x10 multiplication table memorized, and I took physics in high school and work as a programmer. I have a use for knowing number multiples, and have domain-specific numbers memorized (2^8=8*8=256, 256*256=65536), but what I don't remember off the top of my head I can figure out from the things I do know, from certain tricks, and from brute force mental math juggling numbers.
And the important thing to me is, I learned what I know not because somebody told me this is how I should do things, but because I picked them up as needed, a mix of memorizing common multiplications and figuring out tricks (like multiples of 9*N for N<11 being the digits N-1 and 10-N)
AFAIK you don't have to be manually approved to post here - because of how federation works, if you use an instance that is being federated with that doesn't require approval, you'll be able to post this - and if I'm not mistaken, because this is the big part, you can always host your own private instance that will automatically be federated with and post whatever you want, unless (and until) other instances (or communities) take offense and decide to block you from their own (privately hosted) services.
Oh I would hope not, it's good practice to not let the person writing the code merge it in, to get a fresh pair of eyes on the code before it goes in.
Though in a way you could say he "fixed a bug" by merging a bugfix written by somebody else, but that feels like a failure of attribution.
Not sure where you're seeing "just clicking around in a gui", but if you like computer games, there's some fun gameplay you can have while coding. Some of those very much contributed to my experience.
BitBurner is a free idle incremental programming game, where you write scripts to hack things to make money to begin with, progressing onto both progressively more complex mechanics (how about automating a manufacturing corporation with a script?) and utility scripts to automate things you've been doing manually.
If you like Minecraft, there's fun to be had with ComputerCraft, scripting things in Lua. With some add-ons (Plethora IIRC) you can access chest inventories via cable and transfer items between them, and set up your own fully automated storage system with recursive autocrafting, as just one example.
Or how about modding games - if there's a Unity game you enjoy that doesn't use IL2CPP, like Risk of Rain 2, it's very moddable using C# and interacting with Unity APIs, and for advanced stuff modifying the underlying IL that C# compiles to. Quite a lot you can learn, and if you stick to pure code mods to begin with, not that hard to get started - though code mod means nothing like new items, new enemies, new characters, buildings etc. since adding models/textures/sounds tends to be more involved.
