Have you ever played Langrisser 2? It’s the natural companion to those TRPGs.

How much value do you stand to gain from work experience? And what field of study, if you do not mind sharing?

Is your circle of acquaintances familiar with Lee Kuan Yew? He’s easily among the best national leaders in the modern era.

Does Iron Maiden make it in somewhere, and if not: wrong category or insufficient quality?

There are no such libraries. I've rarely used libraries besides math and itertools for Project Euler; it's more fun to write things from scratch. This is why I'm applying for internships rather than full-time positions.
I'm completely fine with the math background being wasted. If I were healthier, I'd have probably dropped out in favor of some kind of physical work when Covid first hit. I'd prefer not to relocate or work remotely, and there are only a few plausible employers other than the university within driving distance.

Yep. It’s actually well written, as zombie stories go. Probably worth playing if you have the right console.
How would you rate it relative to Arcane?
Edit: 3 episodes in. Excellent so far except the very jarring soundtrack.

You have P(dad is bald | son is balding). If you can find P(bald) and P(born to a bald dad) - assuming the latter doesn’t impact the sex ratio - you could use Bayes’ Theorem instead of searching for P(son is balding | dad is bald).

The Union has gulags out of sight in Angland; one of the main characters had run such a gulag just prior to the novels, and sends people there during.
Bach - pretty much everything, but the catalog #1052 keyboard concerto stands above the rest. Glenn Gould is a wonderful choice here.
Mozart - Sonata #8, symphonies #25 and 40. Probably anything else he composed in minor key is brilliant too.
Beethoven’s violin and third piano concertos. Appassionata. Symphonies 5 and 7.
Schubert’s Death and the Maiden.
Chopin’s first piano concerto.
Grieg’s piano concerto.
Dvorak’s cello concerto.
Sibelius’s violin concerto. You want Oistrakh’s recording.
Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto.
Shostakovich’s 5th symphony.
Sviridov’s Snowstorm suite.

Go to db.chgk.info instead of reinventing the wheel. You don’t even have to translate the stuff :)

Do modern people generally consider Julius Caesar (whose campaigns in Gaul were probably within an order of magnitude of all Vikings across all time wrt killing and slavery) a monster?

If you don’t set the high bar at prodigy level, we have counterexamples in Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon.

There’s a Roald Dahl short story with a similarly structured (much tamer but profoundly uncomfortable) punchline.
O. Henry’s “Gift of the Magi” comes to mind, too, but that one is heartwarming.

Do you really prefer RTwP over turn-based? I’ll grant that it works well in Faster Than Light (and is preferable to the singularly shitty turn-based implementation in Fallout Tactics, which runs both options), but for the most part, the good games that have it are good in spite of it.

Mess with some higher math. A fully solved Linear Algebra Done Right (3rd edition is preferable, the problem sets are way beefier and better organized) or a run at Project Euler could keep you entertained for a long time and maybe build motivation for something bigger.

I’m from there, haven’t been back for thirty years, and retain some nostalgia for it. Mostly want the mobiks to come back in one piece, on both sides.
Ironically, if my dad had gained custody when I was little, I’d have grown up in Kharkov and possibly died on the front as a Ukrainian mobik by now. Or I might have bailed back to Russia in ‘14, depending on the amount of roots put down by then.
Life is strange.

What sort of disability? Can you mitigate its consequences through physical therapy or technology?

I'm trying to help a friend automate a data entry task: read a row from Excel, and paste some subset of the entries into appropriate text boxes on a website in Chrome. My friend is not within driving distance, and I'd like to do it with a minimum amount of installations on his computer.
I'm most comfortable with Python. The first portion of the task can be handled straightforwardly with the Pandas package. Is Selenium the best way to handle the output?
I have fond memories of the SNES emulator version. There’s a recentish remake on Steam, but I heard it’s heavy on fan service. The core gameplay and soundtrack should be great regardless.
