   Thank you for your reply. I had never thought about that, and never done it myself, but it definitely sounds doable as a final group project!

   I was considering Flask too... It introduces a lot of stuff and layers they won't understand at first, but getting their feet wet on web development would be very interesting.

   What functionalities are you thinking about? Proper float handling to prevent the '0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000004' bug? Manual computation of square roots/sinus functions?

   Text adventure could definitely work well! As soon as I talked about the input() function, they were kind of doing that already :)

   I agree. However, showing them different projects and ask to pick some of them could work well.

    Results all appear in Russian to me, even on the yandex.com page. I need to manually select "English" in some submenu. Still, I'll give it a try! You tell me it's a homemade index then?

    Google's reverse image search used to be extremely good too (~5 years ago), but it seems to have lost its power in the recent years. I guess Google doesn't want to allow ordinary people to stalk one another based on a given pictur

    I'm really surprised that nobody mentions tig [0] when talking about git. It is by far the most convenient git visualizer I've ever used, and I use it hundreds of times a day. It's written in C so it's super fast (loads

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you think Google is serious about differential privacy? Also, I wonder whether the fact that most comments on this thread come from Google (ex-)employees, and not FB's, is saying something...

    Thanks for replying. 2 questions: - what's the most negative in Google's actions in your opinion? - do you have examples of routine critiques of Google that you feel are unjustified?
