    2. In-depth walkthroughs of Rust solutions for Advent of Code 2020 by Amos Wenger (fasterthanlime)

      I always enjoy Amos' writing, he does a great job of walking through topics in depth and explaining each step of the way. It looks like he's starting a new series to work through all of this year's Advent of Code problems, which will probably be a good read for people interested in Rust (whether you already have experience with it or not).

      Only the first day is up so far, but the overall series page is here, and individual links:

      I'll update this post with new links as the new parts come out, and possibly bump it occasionally.

      I thought it'd be fun to see how some of you keep your computer organized. Do you follow some general scheme, keep it arbitrary, throw everything on the Desktop or in Downloads or just abuse the search bar?
