I've been doing the nim track on exercism.io (no affiliation, just a user) for the last two weeks. The mentors on the track have been fantastic. If you're looking for a "solve a problem and get some external feedback" approach to learning the language it's pretty good.
- jjtheblunt 7y ago"exercism.io" is such a great name!
- mikebelanger 7y agoAh neat - thanks for sharing. I'm gonna try that out.
- zelphirkalt 7y agoPersonally I stopped using exercism, when it started to require me to work for Google for free and would not let me log in, if I did not. It's not an ethical platform, unfortunately.
- duxup 7y ago>it started to require me to work for Google for free How did that work?
- zelphirkalt 7y agoRecaptcha and tracking.
- ampdepolymerase 7y agoWould you pay monthly if they removed it?
- zelphirkalt 7y agoPerhaps I would. I've supported many projects in the past, so I think, if it was really good and did not violate my privacy, there is a fair chance I would.
- tedunangst 7y agoMany of the sites that force me through recaptcha are services I'm already paying for. They won't let me login until I identify all the targets.
- mikebelanger 7y agoWhat do you mean by 'work for Google for free?' I don't see that being required anywhere on the site.
- afiori 7y agoProbably it is a reference to the reCapcha hell Google may drop you into if you are deemed "suspicious"
- mikebelanger 7y agoah ok. I never saw those captcha things as work per say, but yeah I guess they are. Free work for some model data somewhere.
- ihid 7y agoExercism co-founder here. We get bots spamming the site in every way possible if we don't have a recaptcha. Happy to accept other suggestions for stopping bots signing up if you have any more ethical alternatives that are as an effective?
