Every year in November it's about Node practice every day.

https://nodevember.io/

An annual challenge where every day from 1st to 25th of december a chapter of a christmas story is published. In the events of the story several algorithmic puzzles need to be solved.
It's even more fun if you create a Leaderboard with your friends or colleagues.

November 30. + December 1.

Yeah, no. As of now Wayland compositors don't work properly (Sway, Hyprland, …), Game performance is mediocre.

To get usual game performance you need:

1. the latest proprietary drivers (right now 555)
2. libnvidia-egl-wayland1
3. nvidia-drm.modeset=1 add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
4. Secure-Boot off

Ever wondered why when you buy a stock that only goes up but when you buy it you're in the negative already?

The price you see in the chart is the "money price" (Geldkurs) (what you would get selling it).

When you buy you have to pay close attention to what is actually charged - it's the "Ask" price (Briefkurs).
Spoiler: it's always above the price of the chart (for penny stocks this can be 2000% higher, usually it's a few Cent). The pricier the stock the less you'll notice it.

Your stock must first recover from this until it's positive again. In frequent trading this is super annoying.

Arcane fan?
