I taught a course on Javascript in undergrad with a unit on react as well as redux (cis.upenn.edu/~cis197, check it out!). To this day, I still think people learning JS should know about redux because of the design pattern it encourage

I think that if a blog shilling a company/product is hosted on said company's website, they're already sufficiently up-front about it.

This brings me back to orgo lab. A six step synthesis was torture when you were graded by your final yield exactly bc of the compounding nature of small mistakes in each step. Even if you get fairly good yields of 80 to 90% per step, you’d

It's semi significant because some companies are curtailing their internship programs right now.

Yes tons and tons. It's fairly easy to just imagine it as a sort of DFA/NFA. I personally like an SIR(D) model where from the "I" state you can either progress to recovered or dead. You can kinda take care of that in the

Yep! But there are a few more barriers in the way if your school does not offer AP courses (you'd need to find neighboring schools that do allow it and talk to the AP coordinator at that school). For subject tests, there are pretty mi

Honestly welcome change. The SAT Subject tests (at least for people around me in HS) were always considered as a much easier test you'd take after the AP for that very same subject. I just equated it to another way for collegeboard to

As ridiculous as it may seem that this is a TEDx talk, it was incredibly effective for me. After seeing this about 3 yrs ago, I have never used more than 1 paper towel to dry my hands.

This is (imo) the right course of action to (at minimum) alert countries wrt the gravity of this outbreak; however, I was disappointed to see the tiptoeing around potentially offending China. From the press conference, it seemed that Dr. Te

Wouldn't it be best for google to allow you to download a takeout of all your files in the case that your account is suspended?

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come off that way. I genuinely meant that it was a good writeup; however, tutorials that make it to the front page (I have noticed) usually have some content that's new/uses some newer or relati

Nice writeup...but why is this on the front page? Socket.io apps w/a node backend are run-of-the-mill for any CS course dealing with web dev in javascript.
