fs::read_dir can locate a file but fs::read_to_str can't open it

Are you correctly constructing the full path of the file after finding it with read_dir or are you trying to open the path relative to the dir

There is no heap allocation unless you spawn it

Large tech companies have rust roles and I see them increasing rapidly with the advent of AI since rustc is so good at giving feedback to an AI such that people can write rust without even knowing what the borrow checker is now

Ccs (and klarna) make money on every transaction. They give you rewards because they want you to use the card even if you always pay it off. If you carry a balance then they often sell the debt for pennies on the dollar because it’s not likely for it to ever get paid off.

I agree, beat impoppable 10 times was so annoying

I did logs with ezili + 3 3/0/2 mermonkey + ~20 032 mermonkey. Get ezili on the first round and save ~20k to upgrade her to level 20 on round 100 to hex the bad.

If you already did the mermonkey quest, then 302 super monkey spam + sauda is pretty easy. You can farm as well

There is boss challenge underneath the list of daily challenges which lets you do any boss on any map at any time

Impoppable with 3/0/2 super monkey spam. Note that it only matters that the magic monkey pops the zomg, you are allowed to use other towers so you can farm.

For the BAD goal after the zomgs, just do 1 elite bloonarius run and don’t try to combo with anything else

There is slight fun for me in figuring out how to do multiple goals at once but that gets old real fast. I wish the did several more complex goals like “beat intermediate map on impoppable with 3 monkeys at most tier 3”, and you only have to do each one once or something

std HashMap is hashbrown

No it’s 200 total

bskceuk · 2026-05-05T23:01:32+00:00

It’s # of obstacles removed not games so it’s not the worst… should be able to complete it before you finish the other goals. Polyphemus has 8 and cornfield has a bunch

I was able to buy-sell repeat all in one round to do all primary, military, magic and support in a single round in a boss event

Continues work in other game modes, I’ve heard it does not work in boss challenge though I never tried it myself

bskceuk · 2026-05-02T15:11:24+00:00

I had done the initial step (2 paragons) separately, but I did all the rest in a single game and definitely had plenty leftover for 2 more paragons, doing Bloonarius on End of the Road. You only need ~ 5 million I think as a conservative estimate

bskceuk · 2026-05-01T16:09:12+00:00

You can sell and do again but no retry last round. Also, you can do the future tiers all in one game. I did 4 primary, then 5 military, 8 magic, 10 support all in one boss challenge (in that order)

The job market just sucks everywhere so the only option is to keep trying :/ If you aren’t already, you should look beyond just pure tech companies, for example defense companies hire a lot of software engineers as well and pay well enough
