That's what was good about the early stages of sites like Coursera, Udacity and Edx - they had quizzes, exercises and exams that are auto-graded that provided that kind of valuable feedback for all tiers. I think they've all evol

I'm assuming you want something rigorous - based on the comment you replies to. Many people will recommend CLRS [0] but I prefer it as a reference, rather than a learning resource. I feel it's very dry and academic. Instead I&#x27

A favourite technique of one of my colleague's was just to mash the keyboard randomly to see if the app breaks. It's very crude and not at all foolproof. For the lack of sophistication it's shockingly effective at highlightin

I've got several of these for one active email in particular. I've always thought it was bad data entry. There is a cluster in the US south - Georgia, Texas and Alabama. At first I tried to rectify the mistakes but gave up due to

The file save dialog is the worst UI I have to fight with daily. It's such a seriously badly designed piece of UX. Is there a simple way to save a file to a parent folder in the UI without using Ctrl+L? Other than select the grandparen

I use anki to document and remember all my emacs custom key-bindings. That might sound silly but it's easy to accumulate useful things over the years in emacs and forget about them. Emacs is vast and deep and there's a lot to lear

What amazing control in that video. From the very start, spreading the cards so evenly that every single card can be shown to be in order, then even more the precision needed to riffle the cards together perfectly eight times.

For me it was the communal curation effect. Find someone else with an obscure site or tag and check what else they have saved. It was a deep, deep rabbit hole.

It's a fascinating video but what struck me the _most_ was the manual kerning of the handwriting after it was scanned. I know I'd have just copy/pasted all those identical echo() cells. Amazing to watch.
