Are the short online and in-person courses worth it?

Are the short online and in-person courses worth it?

Mostly focusing on the online courses for Creative Writing, such as: https://lifelong-learning.ox.ac.uk/courses/getting-started-in-creative-writing-online and the advanced part of this.

I read mixed reviews of this, would it be worth it for someone just getting started in writing? I have a math background so I am missing a lot of the fundamentals when it comes to creative writing. I started writing my story as many suggested online, but it is a very frustrating experience so far, and I feel like I need some form of education in the craft.

How reputable are the professors on these courses, and would you say it's worth the price?

Best was to buy international train tickets?

I plan to take the train from Zürich to Amsterdam, and I see there are sites where I can buy the ticket for the full journey, but I am worried about delays, cancellations and such, since the train goes through Germany...

Anyone got experience with these travels? Is it better to use this aggregate sites, or buy the tickets one by one? (I have the GA, so the Swiss part should be covered). How much delays should I plan for in Germany? Would a night train be better for this route if it exists?

Appreciate the help!

How can I stand out with projects in this age of AI?

I see so many people creating dashboards, data pipelines who have no clue about anything DS.

How do you make a portfolio of projects that are meaningful these days?

My company introduced a new scale for the titles, my title also changed from analyst to senior. It is not a promotion, I do not have more responsibility, but my title still changed.

I would like to utilise this for my job search, I am looking for a new role for a while now. Can I show this on my resume as a promotion? So I show that I was an analyst for 2 years and now a senior? It would technically not be a lie, since the title change happened. What are the risks for this, any way I could get exposed and not get a job? Or it would be completely fine for me to do this?

Any advice is appreciated.

I have my data backed up on 3 external HDDs, they are stored at 2 different locations. My main issue is that I always need to carry 1 HDD when I move, to update the other 2, which is why I would like to have a cloud option to make the process smoother. And also doesn't hurt to have one more backup.

I have a ton of small files, pictures, documents, and sometimes my folder structure goes 7-8 layers down. I heard some providers are not good with this. I need about 1 TB max at the moment, and would like the storage to store the actual files without compressing. There is some personal stuff on there so security is also an important factor.

1, Which provider would best meet my needs at the cheapest cost?

2,I see so many posts about personal NAS, but do I need it? I only store personal data and I doubt it will ever go above 5TB in my lifetime lol. What advantage would a NAS have in my case if any?

3, I always add the new files between HDDs using Beyond Compare 4 and then just copying the new ones to the other 2. Once I get cloud, I would just periodically add the files I need to the cloud, and then do an update to the HDDs. (I move between 2 locations quite a bit) Am I doing something wrong, can anything go wrong with this way of saving my data? The process can't be automated, because it's specific files I need from random folders.

It is still ongoing IIRC, it was about the FL working at her parents or uncles cafeteria, and they hired the ML in ch1, then they got together quick quick. That's all I know sadly, hopefully someone knows the name just from this.

Quite a lot of the scenes take place at the workplace, but they are still highschoolers/uni students.

EDIT: It's:

you're my cutie

I am looking into switching and I would need the cheapest option.

I need it to get salaries, sometimes deposit and withdraw cash for free - maybe once a year.

And I do travel within the EU quite a bit, so cheap FX conversion abroad would be also preferable. Tho I am not sure if any bank would beat me sending money and using Revolut instead.

From my research bank WIR was the best option, but people mentioned buying a share for 200 CHF to get the pro account? I do not want to spend 200 CHF on that. And they don't have an English app.

Would WIR still be the best without this, or would ZKB or wise/yuh be better?
