8+ min ago (581+ words) Like many developers, I've been putting off learning DSA for months. The truth? I don't have endless hours to dedicate, and honestly, the traditional "solve 1000 problems" approach felt overwhelming. So I did something different - I used AI to build a custom learning plan that fits MY schedule and learning style. This isn't another generic DSA roadmap. This is a stress-free, pattern-focused approach that prioritizes depth over breadth. Important: I'm posting this publicly before I even start. Why? Because having this here means it'll be waiting for me whenever I'm ready to begin. Maybe it'll help you too. I spent time with Claude AI to: The philosophy is simple: Master one pattern deeply before moving to the next. My Philosophy: Master one pattern at a time. Solve 10+ problems per pattern before moving on. Timeline: 1 year to become a DSA master (stress-free!)…...

Speaking at the 2025 Doha Forum in Qatar, the President said that while international assistance remains important, true progress in education requires consistent and reliable internal funding anchored in national ownership and responsibility. He cited the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) as a successful example of Ghana's ability to generate local financing for education through its 2.5% VAT contribution on goods and services. "At a point in time, we realised that education was a key sector to Ghana's progress and development, and so as a nation we decided to contribute to everything we purchase 2.5% VAT, and that goes into the Ghana Education Trust Fund. That fund alone is able to mobilise…...

If the most hashtagged universities on TikTok are any indication, a lot of them will be headed below the Mason-Dixon line. "Young people are more aware that attending college will likely come with decades of student debt, so the mentality is trending towards one of fun, enjoyment, and community," says Kaley Mullin, founder of cultural relevance consultancy Cool Shiny Insights. In the TikTok era, students are prioritizing a more visual and shareable college experience, one that includes large-scale social activities, like football games and Greek life. Gen Z seems to be driven by what they can post on their social media feeds and which hashtags they can partake in rather than what looks…...

Never afraid of making headlines, the student-run debating society has welcomed speakers ranging from former US president Richard Nixon to Mother Teresa of Calcutta, and has helped to launch the careers of countless politicians. Many British Prime Ministers cut their political teeth as students in the society's grand debating chambers. William Gladstone, Edward Heath and Boris Johnson all served as Union presidents, while a total of 13 out of 16 British Prime Ministers since 1955 attended the University of Oxford. In October, the Union made news when president George Abaraonye was ousted after appearing to celebrate the death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The pair had previously faced each other in a debate in May. The list of powerful and famous alumni has earned the Union…...

It's an idea that can help make sense of a dizzying job market where applications can meet speedy rejections or, worse, go unanswered. Yet, often, technology isn't directly to blame. Even as AI and applicant tracking systems are playing a larger role in many parts of the hiring process, most of the time it's still a person, not a bot, who actually nixes your application, hiring experts told Business Insider. "People have gaslit themselves into believing a story that's not true," said Bobby Miloev, a researcher with the r'sum' builder Enhancv, referring to the way many blame applicant software or AI for challenges in the job market. He added that he doesn't fault job…...
