I am a loner/socially awkward and used to run a bit before 2020. Then in 2020, since we were confined I used to run close to my house. I used to see a bunch of folks regularly running but was apprehensive about approaching them. One day one of them said Hi and now I am thankful and happy to be part of that group. There are still periods when I like to run alone and avoid the group but they welcome me whenever I am ready. I am a lot happier since joining this group. More people have joined this group in last two and a half years and am good friends with some of them. I am not sure but I think the group has helped some of them with their loneliness like me. There is some sense of satisfaction when you improve your timing but a bigger source of satisfaction is when you are helping others with their running or just spending time with them. I was lucky to be found by the group and sometimes I wish we can find more people who would be interested even a little bit but are apprehensive like I was/am.

The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. I enjoyed reading both Steppenwolf and Narcissus and Goldmund for the second time.

This is my first year attempting adventofcode. But doing other things mentioned in this discussion would have been better use of time.

I am doing the following lab: https://tc.gts3.org/cs3210/2020/spring/lab.html If you are interested in the subject, i think this can be a good first project.

When i had started they were available on Lagunita. Looks like the same videos are available on Youtube.

I agree.

One of the best courses i had taken on Coursera was the Algorithms series by Robert Sedgewick. Apart from going through the lectures, i had obtained a great satisfaction from solving the assignments. But this year, i have taken up the lab assignments for the following: https://cs144.github.io/ https://tc.gts3.org/cs3210/2020/spring/info.html

Both have been recommended earlier on HN.
