What are Reddit's favorite Online Education Apps?

They patched the game with the en passant about 500 years ago.

We added automod support for galleries so mods can restrict captions or urls. We updated the automod docs, yesterday.

Also, we are planning to update our post requirements feature to include optional rules for galleries. These are the rules that we are considering:

• Captions are optional/required/disabled
• URLs are optional/required/disabled
• Link domain restrictions (if URLs are not disabled)
• Min/max number of gallery items

Are there any other post requirements that you’d find helpful for galleries?

Khan Academy. My friend showed it to me senior year. It's a great video website for learning various elementary to college level topics. The instructor and creator of the videos is just an amazing teacher. http://www.khanacademy.org/

http://www.Codecademy.com/ I learned HTML/CSS from here for free. It's not gonna bore you with some dumb .PDF It will thoroughly explain every element and let you try it.

EDIT: I'm really glad I helped! I'm sorry I forgot to mention there are multiple other languages to learn.

FYI it’s actually over 400 free classes through all ivy leagues

Edit: I’m doing one right now through Dartmouth

Edit 2: link to all 450 classes

From what you have writtten above it is quite clear that you are not "retarded". You seem to be quite able to express yourself and, if fact, do so in a clear and concise manner. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Have you been tested for any learning disabilities that may effect your ability to do well in tests? If you have and are all clear then it could just be the case that you need a different teacher. Have you tried looking online for learning opportunities such as with Khan Academy? You may just need to find a teaching style that works for you.

http://www.khanacademy.org/#credit-crisis.

The mother site contains over 2000 short, 2 minute videos on various topics. The Site listed includes 15 or so that explain the underpinings of the financial crisis including mortgage backed securities, credit default swaps, etc., These videos are informative, and the information is easy to digest.

By making it boring via tedious, rote work. By failing to point out the magic. By not making it clear how such things will be useful down the road. Story problems are generally situations no one is ever actually in. I have never had 25 apples and had to distribute them among three friends.

If classes were more integrated and some more practical things were taught sooner—simple programming and engineering and scientific experimentation—which made use of various mathematical techniques recently learned in another class, I think students might actually be more engaged.

Additionally, I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes it different from regular classroom learning, but the videos on the Khan Academy are extremely engaging and can, over just a short series of 10 minute videos, teach concepts that take years to learn in schools.

Higher Education: The next bubble to burst. It simply can't continue on the path it's on now.

I like what the Khan Acadamy is doing. The evolution of this will be the future of the educational system.

We should be teaching our kids to be autodidacts and getting their own education.

Hi I am the creator of this video.(the above links to a stolen clip re-posted on youtube). My full series is posted at (www.youtube.com/user/ArtOfTheProblem). Originally a kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artoftheproblem/gambling-with-secrets/ funded with 1 dollar to spare)

This series recently lead to a (dream) job at Khan Academy (I was lucky that Sal saw a clip on YouTube!)

I'm posting videos + interactive explorations & programming adventures using John's amazing CS tool (http://www.khanacademy.org/cs/prime-adventure-level-1/1018672065)

ps. Next week I'm starting a new series on Information Theory!

ppss. All of these are also available on university of reddit

The Khan Academy is helping me change my life! I'm going to shift gears from the social sciences to STEM over the next year, and it's helping me tackle the biggest hurdle for me: mathematics.

Yes - you've already done the first step: recognizing your weakness.

Now, if you truly want it to not be a weakness, attack it.

Take math classes and don't quit. Work with your professors/teachers every day after class if you have to. Get tutors. Use Khan Academy. Try to get into MIT, Caltech or Harvey Mudd. Even if you don't make it, you'll be miles ahead of where you are now.

If you aim for the stars and miss, you'll still hit the moon. How's that for a cheesy apropos?

Also, since you are already good at science, keep working on that. You'll soon find how math and science start intermixing and complementing the other. You may just find your talent with science is a bonus in math!

EDIT: PM me with any specifics you think you want to talk about!

Check out Khan Academy. All of their learning tools are free and you can find practically anything you would like. iPod-U also has some great learning tools, but I seem to remember most of them being at university level.

You may also want to speak with your local librarian about a literacy coach. There are volunteers who will help you with your reading level if that's something you're uncomfortable with. You may also want to check your local university about adult learning courses. They will teach you study skills, and will enroll you at the level (finite, pre-algbra) you're currently at so that you're successful over the course of your academic career.

Learn something that you've always wanted to. It doesn't necessary have to be academic, it can be anything you're curious about. You'll meet people with like interests along the way.

Thanks for suggesting us. By the way, we added a completely new interface for learning math two days ago:

If anyone here has tried KA in the past, I urge you to try it again -- it's a lot cooler now. :)

Why does /u/dota2_ss talk about machine learning lol?

Are the bots exchanging information on how to get smarter?

Bootcamps require a lot of condensed time, dedication and hard work. this doesn't end up working for everyone.

I'd argue that anyone that can or did succeed at a bootcamp could have done just as well teaching themselves with free material in the exact same timeframe. Anyone who wouldn't succeed will save themselves a $10k lesson.

something like https://www.freecodecamp.org/ is free, it gives a nice, mostly linear path to web development (plus other content) and makes people solve problems that train you for the real world. There are many other options available at the same price point.

Anyone thinking of learning to program should at the very least start by going through content like this before dropping thousands of dollars. Any experienced programmer can tell you we are also professional researchers, we often need to find documentation or solutions to problems on the internet and we do that via the massive amount of free content available on the internet.

Check out freeCodeCamp or The Odin Project and see if it's a viable path for you and you're interested on the subject covered on these courses. They're free.

I taught my daughter calculus starting around age 6-7. Actually Salman Khan did most of the work. She's now 10 and knows most of the math that I do and then a bit.

All the rest of you with school age kids, start them on Khan academy! If you don't know the material, learn it yourself. It's not really that hard, and it's shameful how much public schools have dumbed down math education.

The couple in the comics are "放閃" (literal: ‎put/discharge flash), the word in English is PDA (Public display of affection).

"放閃" means a pair of lovers show off with their love or do lovey-dovey thing together in public. Anyone nearby need to wear sunglasses to protect their vision and to prevent blindness from those flashes.

My honest advice is don't go into computer engineering if you don't like programming. You have a lot of options with electrical engineering that do not require or require very little programming. If you do want to learn on your own C++ is a great place to start whether it be for software or embedded systems.

If you set on it there are a lot of resources out there to learn codeacademy.com and udemy.com both have free intro courses. There are a lot of good books you can pick up which involve free software such as Codeblocks. "Mastering c++" is a good book I started with.

Well, let's start at the beginning. For Networking, I recommend https://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-network-plus. Actually, all of Cybrary is your friend, and it's free.

As for security, the KLCP is a GREAT place to start (http://kali.training) and it's also free. I'd start there. Follow the online book/PDF and do all the exercises. This will give you a foundation. Play, play, play on your own VM's (never on other people's sites) and it will come together for you.

OSCP is the "mic drop cert". In my opinion, it's the only cert in our field that proves you can perform, under stress and get the work done.

I'm about to get real jazzy on you.

Learn modal interchange (borrowed chords). It's where you can use any chords from any parallel scale source. So if you're in C major, you can add in any chords from C minor, C Dorian, C Mixolydian, etc. ("I Remember" does this a lot)

Also there's a big difference between using basic triads and using 7th chords with lots of tensions. (Example: the difference between a C major triad and a C major 13 (#11) chord or a C7(b9 #9 b13) or the difference between a C minor triad and a C minor 6/9 chord).

Here are some other things to consider: Secondary dominants. Tritone substitutions. Line Cliches. Parallel harmony (Constant structure). Modal harmony. Reharmonization. Chromatic harmony.

Learn chord-scale theory and know which scales/modes can be played on what chords. Learning all of the melodic minor modes is helpful for this.

But most of all, don't get to hung up on chords. I think melody and rhythm is more important, but chords and harmony can help bring a melody to it's full potential. I spent a lot of time learning about chords and totally neglected melody and rhythm.

EDIT: Just wanted to say that you can take simple common chord progressions and spice them up/make them your own by adding other chords in between them or substituting out chords. Take a I - IV - V for example and try adding more chords in between. And here's a free 6 week music theory class that just started: https://www.coursera.org/course/musictheory

I used to have this problem...

I spent a lot of time at school / uni / work not being great at maths. I used to understand the concepts of algebra and pre-calc etc at a high level but really couldn't apply it. It just didn't make sense to me.

The turning point came when someone (my wife) pointed out that I seemed to be missing some of the fundamental experience with the basics of maths. Stuff that I felt I should just know. I was actually oddly unable to even admit to myself that i really didn't know some of the stuff that (in my mind at least) was trivial.

The way I solved this was to go right back to the beginning - learning very basic fractional manipulation, really simple algebra from simple linear equations, on to simultaneous equations, to quadratics and pre calc.

This was an eye-opener for me as once I started laying solid foundations to my understanding it was so much easier to build on.

Later in life I went on to study for an undergraduate degree in Maths. Something I'd never have done without someone pointing out to me that you can't build a house without good foundations.

Try this out http://www.khanacademy.org/ There's a Math(s) section and it's very good.

TL;DR: If you're struggling maybe you need to go right back to basics and build up your understanding. It worked for me.

Chekhov's gun: Chekhov's gun is a dramatic principle that suggests that details within a story or play will contribute to the overall narrative. This encourages writers to not make false promises in their narrative by including extemporaneous details that will not ultimately pay off by the last act, chapter, or conclusion.

There are so many free sources of information, why start by paying?

• Check out cybrary.it, they offer a good ethical hacking course. https://www.cybrary.it/course/ethical-hacking

• Check out ProfessorMesser on YouTube and go through his networking and security+ video playlists.

• Pick up a book (dummies guide to hacking? Idk that's up to you) ((I started with networking for dummies))

• Have the mindset that your preparing to get a certificate in network+, security+, or a CEH

• learn how to install Linux, get used to it, learn the basics. Learn how it works. (For ethical hacking just pick up Kali Linux)

Stay away from the crappy YouTube tutorials that are some guy breathing into the mic and typing in notepad.

You may be a kid, but start learning code/programming at this age. I started at about 12 and at 18 I can make a good sum of cash when I need to.

My favorite code-learning site

Also, babysitting is a great way to make money. Try staying away from retail. That shits horrible.

Simply right click and in the context menu you will see an option to Block element. Here's a random tutorial on it I found if you want to dig deeper, https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-block-content-from-web-pages-using-ublock-origin/amp/

I'm a fulltime dev and can work 100% remote if I want. My first suggestion is to look at job opportunities that interest you and make a list of the required skillsets. Find what is common and learn those. A good language for getting the basics down is python. Web development tends to be HTML, CSS & javascript. You may also want to look into languagues such as C# & Java. The key is to get the basics down and to start building your own applications. Find tutorials, read blogs, etc. Post it all on github and use your portfolio as proof that you can do the work. One place to start your journey is here: https://www.freecodecamp.org/

OP I don't think you realize just how many really, really good jobs are out there that wouldn't require you to know how to drive. The one that comes to the top of my head is web design. Which I am some knowledge on.

Here's a free learning site for you to get started if you so please. It says "300 hours", but as someone who has learned from this place with no prior experience with coding, I can guarantee that you could the first certificate (HTML) within a week. The second I'm not so sure about, but through looking at forums and such online I've gotten estimates between 70-140 hours (still a lot better compared to, yknow, 300).

Remember that one certificate alone won't be enough, you'll also need to build some stuff yourself to prove you actually know how to do it.

If you (or anyone reading this) has any questions on this I try to help, but please keep in mind I am also somewhat new to coding. :)

According to masterclass, no.

>If you visit a sushi restaurant or sushi bar, you'll typically see three different types of sushi: maki, nigiri, and sashimi. There are two critical differences between these Japanese foods: Maki sushi and nigiri sushi are made with seasoned sushi rice, while sashimi is simply raw fish slices.

I will call complete bullshit on this one. I took a class on Coursera called <strong>Learning how to learn</strong> (which I highly recommend btw), and they rip this opinion to shreds. You have two types of tasks. One where you use your focus mode, and one where you use diffuse mode. Focus mode is intensive and intended. Diffuse mode is what you do with intuition.

So if you are doing something where a lot of focus is required, especially learning a new task, adding ANY other kind of stimulus is the worst thing you can do. If you are doing something that you've been doing for years, and don't require that much focused attention, music will probably do you no harm.

The best thing that you can do for a focus intensive task is to really try hard for short bursts of time (30 min), followed by an activity you find relaxing. It is called the pomodoro technique.

I'm in the same boat as you, I had a very bad algo professor and I feel like I really missed out on some important topics. Luckily for us both of courseras algorithm courses are starting/have started. https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI is Princetons course, which has a focus on implementation as opposed to theory (everything is done in Java). https://www.coursera.org/course/algo is Stanfords course which is more about analysis. I plan on doing both, I've finished the first week of Princetons course I have to say I really enjoy it so far.

Right after submitting my entry i also learned that I could've just linked the actual friggin site instead of the wiki article I was reading >.< Oh well:

• http://www.khanacademy.org/
• University of Reddit

Edit: wtf, I can't believe that searching for the original Khan academy URL would take me to the University of Reddit which I've linked. That clearly needs to be regurgitated on the front page more often!

Best YouTube channel to start is Hackersploit. Another great way to start is to go to vulnhub, a virtual machine program, and watch walkthroughs as they explain things and do it for yourself it’s actually really fun!

If you are more of a person who writes notes down and likes a class-like structure I would recommend https://www.cybrary.it/

Additionally, you can always come back and message nearly anyone on this board for help. Hope this helped!

Hey, I would like to strongly recommend a course I found really useful in organizing how I approach learning.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

This was a lovely course that provided a lot of practical tools and wasn't condescending. It's not rocket science, and you've probably seen bits and pieces here and there but I think they make a compelling case on how to approach studying.

Other idea would be an edX course on "Justice". It seems like a nice light survey of intellectual schools and should be fun to think about given that you have leisure.

Unreal Engine uses C++. It sounds like your ambitions are beyond just using a pre-built engine, but it's probably the best place to start. Use the engine for simple games, follow tutorials, and I highly recommend Ben Tristem's courses on Udemy.com

Its in the comment section of that list. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/coding-interviews-for-dummies-5e048933b82b/

So, Apple released an app for creating cool and dynamic digital textbooks. The only flaw? It's not standards based: you need an iPad. If they created a tool that generated HTML content, then any kid in the world using any cheap device could benefit. But they didn't.

So, there's currently two sides in the educational debate. Some folks, like Mr. Khan and MIT think education should be available to everyone. Others, like Apple, think education should be available to those that can afford it.

If you need additional help you might want to check out Khan Academy. It's basically the largest free online school and it's designed to help you all the way from 1 + 1 to advanced calculus, along with lots of other subjects. If you want to learn more about it you can watch a good video about Khan here. Hope this helps!

Here're a few common paths: 1. Many people are applying ML to projects by themselves at home, or in their companies. This helps both with your learning, as well as helps build up a portfolio of ML projects in your resume (if that is your goal). If you're not sure what projects to work on, Kaggle competitions can be a great way to start. Though if you have your own ideas I'd encourage you to pursue those as well. If you're looking for ideas, check out also the machine learning projects my Stanford class did last year: http://cs229.stanford.edu/projects2014.html I'm always blown away by the creativity and diversity of the students' ideas. I hope this also helps inspire ideas in others! 2. If you're interested in a career in data science, many people go on from the machine learning MOOC to take the Data Science specialization. Many students are successfully using this combination to start off data science careers. https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1

I took a pretty interesting short MOOC from Coursera called Learning How To Learn. I highly recommend it.

It's very easy to follow, and it goes into a lot of good practices for learning, but also a lot of easy to follow science behind it, that really enlightens and encourages you to learn.

It goes into breaking down learning something, how much to study, how to study, when to study, etc. It goes into what your brain does when you sleep to "save" the things you're learning (neural connections, like the guy in this video said)

I would definitely recommend taking this free short course. It sounds like something you're interested in, and it really helped me.

The Coursera has a great course on this subject; learn how to learn
> This course gives you easy access to the invaluable learning techniques used by experts in art, music, literature, math, science, sports, and many other disciplines. We’ll learn about the how the brain uses two very different learning modes and how it encapsulates (“chunks”) information. We’ll also cover illusions of learning, memory techniques, dealing with procrastination, and best practices shown by research to be most effective in helping you master tough subjects.

Quincy Larson on the FreeCodeCamp blog wrote this post with 300 stories of developers who got their first jobs in their 30s and beyond.

At the beginning of the post he links to several dozen Quora posts: "Is x too old to start learning to code"? There's one link for every age between 14 and 60.

If you're serious, you might wanna know about Khan Academy. I sucked ass as math, but nowadays (and 50+ videos further) I don't suck as much anymore :D

Note: the website ~~needs~~ requires a Google or a Facebook account to log in to.

edit 3: You'll need to log in when you want to practice! It is acutally not required when you want to watch videos!

You live in Green Bay? I took his Intro to Greece and Intro to Roman history classes back in 1999/2000. Two of the best classes I ever took.

He's also got some stuff on The Great Courses that's interesting to listen to as well. I got them via Audible when I had a yearly subscription, so it was more affordable than those TGC prices..

Khan Academy is wonderful. Start from the basics, though, even if you think you're good. Mathematics builds upon itself, and without a proper foundation you can't really progress.

My favorite online developer community is actually Twitter. There's tons of developers online, and by following only other programmers, it turns your twitter feed into a second Hacker News.

I hated school because I was bored, and also one of the reasons why I did not do well. The main one being I was lazy.

Were you given a syllabus or curriculum? Are you teaching for the AP CS test? What do you want the kids to get out of this class?

Personally, I think a CS class would do really well to have logic puzzles, brain teasers, and critical thinking, especially early on when no one knows how to program. It's a good way to start thinking logically and algorithmically.

But it'd be a silly intro to CS course if the students never learned programming (after all, prog languages are how we convey our ideas and incidentally happen to also run on computers :P). You'll want an easy high-level languages that the students can jump right into. I recommend Python - it's very easy to understand and there are lots of terrific resources for it.

I found this coursera course to be one of the best MOOCs I've been a seen. It's introductory programming in Python. In fact, If I were you (and if its offered again in the Fall), I'd consider having the students enroll in this. The video lectures are great, it has quizzes to test understanding, and the assignments / mini-projects are amazing. Plus, their codeskulptor site is a great thing - you can get a Python program up and running in no time (no installation hassle required)!

The mini projects build interactive games (such as pong and asteroids) with appropriate starter code. It uses its own simplified GUI library designed for first year CS students that are new to programming. The fun interactive games are a great way to keep studets engaged (rather than writing a program to compute a Knight's Tour or whether a number is prime, etc).

https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython1

I, myself, learned Python from Google's Python class taught by Nick Parlante. Very good lecturer, and goofy too (the good thing). The assignments were fun little exercises for me.

https://developers.google.com/edu/python/

Good luck! This sounds very exciting! I hope you and your students have a great time :)

you can! like @cbs5090 said, and not to sound cliche, but JUST DO IT! We have a world of information and knowledge at our fingertips now. I didn't finish college, or study any of what I currently do at school. It was all forums, reading, videos, practice, failing, getting up and trying again. and I wasn't born with a silver spoon either, my parents are immigrants from Cuba, we lived in a 1 room fucking shack in Hialeah, FL my whole childhood pretty much! My point is, you can do it! Just start now!

this is perfect place to start if your interested in online work like Google Adwords, but like this there are tons of resources for other areas of interest: https://support.google.com/partners/topic/3204437?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=3111012&amp;vid=1-635778572495978135-373249546

another area that is blowing up right now is Big Data i.e. Hadoop, Mapreduce, Hive, Pig, PowerBI, etc. also all free to learn and huge shortage of quality people

https://www.coursera.org/course/bigdata

all of this you can do from home, or remote, or in office if that's your thing. and you could be up and running within a year!

Have you seen this? https://www.coursera.org/course/mythology

I've done some native apps, but I used Flash Builder with a focus on AS3 and only a little of Flex's MXML. My background if mostly Flash development, but I learned by purchasing, reading, and then going through books on C++, C#, AS3, Java, Objective-C, and a few more. I don't recommend that approach, though, as it's way too expensive compared to what you can find free.

If you need to know how to program, I recommend http://www.codecademy.com/ and https://www.udacity.com/ . From there, design it on paper, get the graphics (if needed) ready in advance, then use stack overflow for questions.

I've found that once you learn one language, google-searching can give you what you need. (eg "How do I do a for loop in python") If you're new to it, it depends on the app you want to make as to what I'd recommend there. I've used xCode for an internal iPhone app in the past for Lowe's. It's good if you really need it and there is a lot of help out there. Also you can start for free.

If you're going with something for both, I really enjoyed Flash Builder, but my AS3 background may have eased that too. Greensock has some nice tweening and loading classes that work well with Spark and Flex in general.

I have a friend who does games with Unity, though, and he loves it. He was never a programmer, mostly a designer, but it was easy for him to pick up and learn and the community there is really good from what he's told me. Also, this would be another develop once for both solution.

Sorry for the wall of text, but if you have any questions, let me know. Or if anyone else has more experience with other solutions, feel free to chime-in. :)

Check out https://www.coursera.org/ Its an "education platform that partners with top universities and organizations worldwide, to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free" They literally have thousands of college courses covering all topics/interests. A few upcoming farm/agricultural/homesteading type courses included Chicken Welfare and Behavior, Sustainable Agricultural Land Management, Livestock Health Management, and Introduction to Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage. The first time I discovered the website I spent almost 3 hours browsing through courses. Ive been hooked ever since!

Look up the Khan Academy. Its a free online college level education with hundreds of videos on many subjects. There are 63 biology videos, each is about 20-30 minutes and explained very well. I homeschool but everyone in my family is an atheist. I take many Khan academy courses as a part of my education and I recommend you do to.

Heres a link http://www.khanacademy.org/

There is too much in coding for any one person to learn and its easy to get lost on which direction to pursue, especially when self taught!

For what its worth, I think FreeCodeCamp does a much better job of teaching you web programming than CodeAcademy.

I have no specific useful tips (nor do I claim to be particularly good at math, only interested), but something that really helped me was Khan Academy. All the lectures are in video with pertaining exercises. He is really good at explaining and giving examples so it is easy to understand. If you're having trouble with multiplication and division, maybe the arithmetic-section is something for you to start with?

I agree it was confusing as I first started & still is confusing when explaining how FVTT can be extended to new- and non-users. And it’s a little thing but an annoying one.

I believe it comes from the name of extensions to JavaScript/node.js and what they are called in that dev lingo - hence predating FVTT use of the term.

I wholeheartedly recommend it.

The profs were great, the exercises built on the lectures and actually taught us more than the lectures. They weren't just rehashing the classes, they made you think and move farther.

EDIT: This one: https://www.coursera.org/course/programming1

There are several ways to make a desktop app. Spotify and Discord are both PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). Progressive Web Apps are built in much the same way as a modern website is built. The two things that you need to put into a website to create a PWA are called workers and a manifest file. That allows the app to be downloadable and accessible offline. FreeCodeCamp has a good tutorial on it.

If you're making an application strictly for Windows, you could build a .NET Framework WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) application. There are some other options as well if you're going with .NET. Just search Google for .NET Desktop Application.

There are a lot of options out there, and you'll see a lot of back and forth on the internet about which option is best, but I say do your research, pick an option and stick with it.

Maybe think about it differently. You didn't waste 80k because you learned how to study, how college works, what a workplace is like, and I would imagine a whole lot of useful technical skills.

There's nothing to stop you using free sites like https://www.freecodecamp.org/ and YouTube and Coursera to learn how to program. If you really like it you can go back and study it, but with those skills plus your audio skills there are also sorts of audio related developer jobs you could get. Even now, you could cast the audio net wider into podcasting and freelancing/contracting. Even just making some skillshare/udemy/other online courses teaching a type of person (eg. wannabe podcasters or academics who now have to make videos and teach online) how to set up a mic, set levels, record and edit audio.

Try Nand2Tetris. You start with just the NAND gate and build logic and arithmetic with that. Then you build a complete computer ~~with blackjack and hookers~~ and design an assembler and high-level language (including the corresponding compiler) for it. You also write a VM and an OS. In the end, you finish the course by writing Tetris for your own computer.

The materials are free, open source and always available. You can also take the free course on Coursera, starting April 11.

> I genuinely wish I understood more about the bailout, though. It was one hell of an economic event.

Here's a series of 15 videos from the Khan academy that break it down for you in detail like you're five. :-)

I think Khan Academy does an excellent job "within" the current model, and in their many test runs of reversing the school system when the kids study at home (with their online classes) and come to school to do the homework with a teacher and the other kids (who help each other learn actively) have produced great results

If you haven't seen Khan's ted talk this is a must: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM95HHI4gLk

It may not have anything to do with that. She may simply get overwhelmed with the prospect of all that needs to get done and then defeats herself by not getting any of it done which ultimately creates a subconscious loop of 'all i have to do.' which drains motivation.

That may have angered her dad.

This free class on the nueroscience of learning to learn talks about this at some point. Maybe it will help.

Y’all need to get a hobby, girlfriend, something.

PS: the intelligence of the bots is rarely evaluated based on the size of the logs...

There's debate around who "invented" a lot of tricks but essentially the first person to do the trick invents it. Doesn't matter if you come up with a trick if you can't do it and Tony Hawk was the first to do many tricks.

At age 31 I was a security guard with a criminal justice degree and 8 year of security-experience. My best year I paid taxes on 28k.

I realized I didn't want to do 30 years as a broke security guard, so I started watching udemy.com computer programming courses ... and at age 32 I quit the security field because I got hired as a web developer, making more than double that.

I haven't watched any of the Khan videos before, so I decided to pick one at random and record my thoughts. I picked the video on inverse sine

http://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/v/inverse-trig-functions--arcsin

It starts off pretty well, though I would have chosen an angle other than pi/4 since it has the same sine and cosine. It would have been harder to derive the sin of (say) pi/6, but that should be something all students would be able to do by the time they got to learning about inverse trig functions.

When he starts talking about the domain of arcsin, he doesn't explain why the domain is what it is. Why not 0 to pi? Why not 0 to 2pi? These are natural questions students ask when learning this concept.

In general the video seems unpolished and stream-of-consciousness, which is fine, but you can tell that he isn't an experienced math teacher. His refusal to use parentheses is aggravating to see, especially when he writes stuff like sin^-1 -sqrt(3)/2. There are several ways students will commonly misunderstand that collection of symbols, and he breezes right over it.

My conclusion is that this video would be a useful resource for a student learning this material, but not really a replacement for a well-trained math teacher/professor. Granted, many students have a teacher/professor who is not well-trained, in which case these videos may be the best resource they have available.

I wonder if Khan has considered hiring a professional mathematician/physicist/etc. to improve his videos? Given the popularity of the videos, I would think he'd be able to afford it.

Gluten is a protein. I doubt it can be “basically removed.” Can you link a source?

Hi all, this is Professor Martinez-Davila from the University of Colorado! The question you pose on online courses is a really interesting one because some academic scholars like myself think that engaging "citizen scholars" in online courses is a huge opportunity for advancing discoveries. On June 15th, my "Deciphering Secrets: Unlocking the Manuscripts of Medieval Spain" free, online course (a MOOC) is opening at https://www.coursera.org/course/medievalspain .

I think we are at a really interesting point in historical studies because scholars like myself are not only interested in sharing their passion for history (in my case, medieval Spanish Jewish, Catholic, and Muslim coexistence) but also want to harness the power of crowdsourcing to rebuild medieval worlds -- even digital 3d worlds!

And, I've often found that professionals in the work world do some pretty amazing historical research themselves! Equal to or better than traditional university scholars. One of my Spanish friends, a computer scientist by training, is one of the best paleographers (a reader of old handwriting scripts) I know.

Thanks for sharing this post, Roger :-)

Hands down the best place to learn things like JavaScript, Python, PHP, etc. I promise you'll be able to learn through here if you don't just do a couple lessons and stop. It's all interactive and you can see what you're creating as you create it. And it's all done through the website so you don't need to download stuff.

Thanks a lot. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science about 15 years ago. I have a CEH certificate but that's my only certification. I was fortunate to gain a lot of experience with the company that laid me off over the 10 years I was there and move from a Specialist/System Admin to a manager.

Check out https://www.cybrary.it/ . They have free courses and certifications for just about any IT cert you could want.

Khan Academy may not exactly be deemed all interactive but it has a huge amount of videos available and quite a number of interactive mathematics practice, so it is well worth your time if you want to learn science and maths stuff.

They are the levels of politeness (different formality levels)

saranghanda is formal non-polite, informal(impolite used to the same age(friend), the children
(high formality / low politeness)

saranghae is informal or casual used to the same age(friend), someone younger than you, the children, lover, wife & husband
(low formality / low politeness)

saranghaeyo is informal (but still) polite used to olders, lover, wife & husband, parents
(low formality / high politeness)

saranghamnida is polite(more formal) used to elders, boss, army, wife & husband, everyone
(high formality / high politeness)

formality: formal / casual

politeness: polite / rude

&#x200B;

Personally, I like saranghamnida.

We didn't remove the wolf, studies have shown they evolved on their own. Take a free uni course on it if you're curious.

While we are on the subject, here is my direwolf.

Reddit's API has some amazing tools, you could build something like this yourself!

PRAW gives you a really powerful way to interface with the API, if you like Python (if you don't know any Python, I can't recommend CodeAcademy highly enough).

A basic flow for an automated top-content mail would be something like . . .

1. Get a user's subscribed subreddits

2. Read the top posts for each subreddit

3. Apply some weighting multiplier or filtering to list (maybe you want to see the top ten from each? Or you want to see the ones that got an unusually high amount for votes for the subreddit size?)

4. Combine the filtered lists into a single list and drop it into some formatting

5. Send it to you (email or pushbullet or rss or whatever)

I have listened to everything this man has said about the recent UFO surge. I even said whatever to his recent episode of the Rogan show. But idk I saw this and immediately went WTF. In this ad he’s talking about data and science but also in the ad he’s talking about shit that is completely THEORETICAL (Big Bang, black holes, time travel) and then states that science is true whether or not you believe in it. WHAT.

I’m sorry but I felt like I snapped internally here. I know I’m not some mastermind that knows everything about space and astronomy. Im a damn grug. Point is. He’s talking about how important data is and HES NOT LOOKING AT IT. It pisses me off. Be skeptical but present a valid argument instead of throwing everything presented into the trash

I’m sorry if this is not allowed here but I genuinely felt almost offended to this as goofy as this may sound. I’ve done so much digging into this and someone that’s as smart as NDT to say that this is “nothing” without looking at ANYTHING, is absolutely absurd.

Practice what you preach.

Coursera gives you online access to real college courses. They don't provide college credit, but at least some of them will provide a certificate of completion is you pass the course.

you may find help here in this massive amount of free instructional video published at Khan Academy

http://www.khanacademy.org/

>Topics covered in the first two or three semesters of college calculus. Everything from limits to derivatives to integrals to vector calculus. Should understand the topics in the pre-calculus playlist first (the limit videos are in both playlists)

http://www.codecademy.com and specifically http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/web. I'm learning with codecademy at the moment, great bite-size activities make up the courses (on what looks to me like a big selection of topics), and the best part is it's based on actually using what you learn to progress right there in the browser. And it's free. Go to it.

As my reply on the website is pending your review, here's a copy for redditors -- so they will not get too excited without a good reason:

Your post suggests the differences in averages reflect some real differences in the compensation of programmers. Yes, the numeric values obtained in your analysis are not exactly the same. The question is rather: Are they really different?

To illustrate this: assume person A and B are each tossing the same 3 dice, obtaining [1,3,4], and [2,4,5] as results. Averages are 8/3 and 11/3 respectively — yes, they do differ. But did the dice change in the meantime?? Or will person A consistently get a lower average than person B? Yet this is exactly the kind of conclusion your post appears to suggest…

There’s an established method to do this check — see http://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability/statistics-inferential/hypothesis-testing-two-samples/v/hypothesis-test-for-difference-of-means for an example. Any statistics package nowadays supports this test.

Also — why use averages at all? Would median, mode or some percentile not be more appropriate?

Once you (and the other aspiring developers who commented on this thread) land your first developer job, please let me know. I maintain a Twitter list of several hundred people who (like myself) who got their first developer job after age 30. There are quite a few in their 40s and 50s, too. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/stories-from-300-developers-who-got-their-first-tech-job-in-their-30s-40s-and-50s-64306eb6bb27/

> Edit: I will never have this

The real thing people are missing is just do it. Teach yourself, be engaged in projects, run a blog, put in work and post that OC. Just going to school and studying stuff is nothing on practical applications. Sure, learning in a classroom environment helps, but having a good educational resume has nothing on showing you've done things.

I taught myself SQL to build a database for League of Legends stats, sharing info and analytics from that with people in the stats community got me a job with CBS interactive's LoL eSports site. That didn't pay ****, but it opened a ton of doors both in that community and out, and that on my resume helped me get a corporate full time job doing data analysis stuff from being a broke game tester.

Edit Since This is Visible: For anyone who is interested in this stuff, check out Codecademy if you're interested in getting into the computer side. It's not perfect, but the free 3-10 hour courses are great intros to the basics that jump you right into hands on coding.

Tell him to try out the &quot;Make a Website&quot; track on Codecademy.com. It'll take him a couple hours to go through the course, but by the end of it he'll be able to make something at the very least decent and he'll know how to minimally customize it.

If you feel like taking a free online class, Berklee College of Music is offering this one, starting Oct 13:

Introduction to Music Production

https://www.coursera.org/course/musicproduction

You mentionned you don't know what the reverb is. They will teach you that, among other things.

Fine chop some along with celery and onions and make them into portions of mirepoix to be frozen and used when required.

> The classic French version of mirepoix includes onions, carrots, and celery in the following ratio: two parts onions, one part carrots, and one part celery. To make mirepoix, start by chopping the carrot, onion, and celery roughly. In general, the finer you chop the veggies, the quicker the aroma and flavors will be released. Source

He also literally has an online comedy class where he teaches this and other tricks of the trade.

OP - if you're interested in learning to code, there are tons of free resources online. Here is a self-taught curriculum that should compare with popular paid coding bootcamps: Free Code Camp.

A quick google search will show you countless others (Codecademy, Alison, etc.)

There is an actual branch of research around that, AIs that can play any game. You basically them input them a formal definition of a game and they learn to play it by themselves. https://www.coursera.org/course/ggp

From a little research: "chun-chun, as in the sounds of birds chirping and -maru means "circle", it's a suffix is very often at the end of many male names in the Japanese language and is often applied to words representing something beloved, and sailors applied this suffix to their ships.".

Sorry that turned you off programming, assembly is about as hard as it gets, but if you ever want to give it a second go codeacademy.com offers an easy way of getting into it.

I suggest python, it has an easy structure and can be learned quite easily, though still powerful enough to power things like Dropbox!

Codecademy has actually helped me a lot to get into the world of programming. They don't teach you everything but it's a brilliant place to start, it's very interactive and they make you do the coding and make sure it's correct, combined with the Q&A section make it a very helpful learning resource.

For anyone curious here's my Codecademy profile.

To be fair Codecademy does have its cons too. They don't go too extensively into the background of programming to understand the concepts behind it, it's more hands on, but that's why I've picked up some books to aid in the learning.

And the new jQuery courses have been poorly written by course designers, filled with bugs, unclear instructions and false passes.

It's not impossible (although 10-20k in your first year might be a bit of a stretch), its just that you've got to become proficient in so many different concepts and technologies.

If you're going to also design websites:

• User Interface (UI), User Experience (UX) and Interaction design
• UI Design tool of your choice
• Colour theory
• Typography

Basics for development:

• Programming tools
• HTML
• CSS
• Optionally SCSS and CSS architectures (e.g. BEM)
• Basic JavaScript

Advanced functionality and deployment:

• Information Architecture (IA)
• SQL or NoSQL
• Optionally a JS or PHP framework
• Back-end development
• Authentication
• Experience with a CMS (e.g. WordPress)
• DNS
• Domain names
• Optionally CDN
• Potentially build processes
• Server management

Then you'll also need to understand at least the basics of:

• Accounting
• Sales for your customers
• Sales for your customers' customers
• Account management
• Project management
• Photography
• Copywriting
• Version control

Anyone can make a pretty decent website using WIX/SquaredSpace/etc these days. This means that most business who go to a professional web designer/developer are looking for something that these DIY sites don't provide.

As you can see it takes a lot to create a sellable product these days and its only getting more difficult by the day. Don't let this discourage you though, just be sure to manage your expectations as it takes a lot of time and effort to start something from 0.

I suggest you get going with the basics of programming on https://www.freecodecamp.org/. In the meantime read up on the other items from the lists above and find tutorials on YouTube (don't buy any books, they're usually horribly outdated within a year of release).
