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...

Christian Winter I'm not allowed to comment my code, so what are other ways to make my code descriptive but not annoying to write out? I work for a team that heavily believes in self documenting variable names. While I see the worth in that, its honestly not all that useful to someone new to...

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...

Merin Thomas Following the model of Rome, Istanbul (ancient Byzantium or Constantinople) was founded on seven hills like Rome by Constantine the Great, each hill topped with imperial mosques. Silhouette of Istanbul skyline Istanbul was the most crowded city of the world in 1502, then...

Somnath Mishra Honestly I don’t know a lot about Istanbul but I do know about the fact that Istanbul has some of the craziest football fans in the world. This is how Galatasaray F.C. fans welcome their opponents, sure its enough to scare the sh*t out of the visiting fans and players! When...

Sam Snow ‘Tombili’ a famous street cat who recently died was made immortal by residents of the neighborhood it lived in. A bronze statue with its well known ‘big bro’ style sitting is now in his favorite place. A dead cat that became a worldwide meme has been honoured with his own statue in...
