James G ☛ (Even more) challenging programming projects you should try
My knowledge of programming has been largely self-directed. When I get excited about an idea, I research what I need to do to solve that problem. For example, when I was interested in how search engines work, I learned about the computational efficiency of sets. I discovered the problem "how can I check if I have crawled this URL?" when I may have crawled thousands of URLs. To answer this question faster, I used a set, which has O(1) lookup time, instead of O(n) lookup time.

Tom's Hardware ☛ White House urges developers to avoid C and C++, use 'memory-safe' programming languages [Ed: Marketing for Microsoft GitHub and crap that the NSA is in better control of and sells plagiarism-as-a-service; code generators are overhyped. If you want to do things faster, reuse and adopt APIs that are clearly defined. Grabbing random code of unknown source/s means bugs and undefined behaviour, never mind licence violations as a factor [1, 2].]
