Thomas Cormen They have not been recorded. If they were going to be recorded, I’d want to make sure that the production values were satisfactory and that all students have their privacy protected. My lectures use Dartmouth College resources. I would have to get permission from Dartmouth. The...

Matt Pickering Tell whoever said “comments take up memory” to seek other employment because clearly they do not know or understand how to effectively program or know anything about modern technology costs. Storage is dirt cheap especially hard drive space, the only space you’re taking up with...

Gordon Miller For me it is less about the quality of any specific Udemy course and more about the motivation of the employee in continuing education. I always like to see that they are learning in those specific areas. See Questions On Quora Continue reading...

Greg Kemnitz I agree that for the most part, you can learn obscure commands as you need them. If I were to recommend a short list of commands, I'd say: Commands useful in scripts 1. Learn Bash as a programming language. (Yes, it is one) Pipes, subshells, job control, and process handling...

Peter Nierop Reading binary numbers is kinda really easy once you recognize a few shortcuts. 11 = 3 Since it is a binary system, this means if it shifts to the left it is multiplied by 2 so 110 is 6 and 1100 is 12 etc 101 is 5 so what is 01010110 if you realize it is a 5 group that is...

William Vicars I've used all of the resources listed in this post and managed to learn linear algebra pretty quickly. Here are my thoughts: Coding the Matrix (Coursera): Difficult. Don't start here, especially if you don't know Python. After learning the basics, I benefited greatly from this...

Roman Daneghyan You can get such videos on: Render Forest company provides a large variety of video templates and slideshows. You can pick up any of them and start creating videos online. After you can download the video for free. Here you can also make orders which will cost about $600 -...

Franklin Veaux Because it’s difficult, it makes code that’s hard for other people to read and maintain, and there’s little or no practical benefit for doing so. Consider the difference between these bits of code: LD HL, (FECBh) LD A, (HL) INC A LD (HL), A or...

Christopher Burke Yes, it is totally possible to program a computer from scratch; I’ve done it many times. Early microcomputers didn’t have a BIOS ROM, and came with nothing but a switch panel and built-in hardware to store numbers into successive memory locations and then run whatever...

Christopher Burke As so many others have written: this is not a healthy team; it has bad computer science fundamentals and worse human factors fundamentals. As to what you do: Write code without comments, as the team demands Write self-documenting variable names, as the team demands Document...

Garry Taylor Lots of options, depending on your choice of languages. Most languages can work with C. So say one language is C, and the other is Python, Java, C#, Lua, TCL, just about anything else, chances are there is a way to call C code from it. With Java, it’s generally JNI, with Python...

Brian Bi Considerably more pleasant. You can write auto instead of std::map<std::string, std::vector<int>*>::iterator, or some other ugly type. You can use range-based for loops. You can use lambda functions instead of defining new functions or classes out-of-line just so you can use them in...

Dhananjay Ravikumar Superfluidity is a very rare phenomenon that occurs at ultra cold temperatures. It is only observed in Helium because only Helium stays a fluid at that temperatures. Say you have a container of gas. You keep removing energy from it. In other words, you are cooling it. You...

Garry Taylor For me, C wouldn’t be the issue, it’s that I’ve not created a graphical program in C in probably over 10 years. For a simple game like this, the issues of building things in C don’t really come into it, it’s more familiarity with a GUI library or toolkit which would be my...

Melvin Dunn The answer you want: Data Analysts usually do not build models. They explore data, and generally use descriptive statistics. Sometimes they’ll use advanced tests like correlations and other multivariate tests. Machine Learning engineers build statistical models, from my...

Stacey Jones A lot of these came from the trivia app, Trivia Tapper. Istanbul has a vending machine that releases food and water for the city's stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles. Constantinople became Istanbul because people started referring to it as “The City” and the...

Debasish Ghosh I took Prof. Daphne Koller's Probabilistic Graphical Models (Coursera) and Prof Hinton's Neural Networks for Machine Learning (Coursera) as follow ups and found both to be extremely rewarding. Both are pretty heavy and need at least 10-12 hours per week though. See Questions On...

Barbara Oakley Here are some tips for getting the very best out of MOOCs such as those on Coursera and edX. (These tips are taken from my upcoming book Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential, which is an upcoming lead title from Penguin-Random House)...

Brian Schuster Until a few years ago, I would have said no, it’s not necessary. Then I met Alex, a data scientist in the area who taught himself programming through courses online. He had gone through the Johns Hopkins University Data Science course through Coursera. Data Science | Coursera...

Carlos Matias La Borde It’s kinda shit compared to what else is out there. But I still use it, because I am a trash person, and it looks and feels like the snappy, ugly Windows junk that I like. I use Notepad++ for the same reason I eat McDonald’s and use Windows 8 with a Win7 UI scheme...
