The author's Learn 3D Graphics Programming is one of those extremely rare courses that takes you from the basics and peels back the curtain to show you the Wizard. https://pikuma.com/courses/learn-3d-computer-graph

Today I struggled with making a basic flowchart. (There was no shortage on a plethora of tools). I wish I had a pen to draw it as easily as in this video from ... 1965!!! Today I stared in horror at pages and pages of kubernetes documentati

Douglas Downing's Trigonometry Made Easy is also a really great book for non-maths people. Same approach of situating Trigonometry in a mythical fantasy land. I remember Trigonometry as a chore of trying to memorize double-angle formul

I have read many a monad tutorials. I'm reading through your new book right now and the chapter on IO is one of the best onramps I've read on building up intution for Monads! Writing a book is hard work. Thank you for all the hard

I'll upvote this as well, but from a different angle. I never listen to audio books, I don't think I've ever listened to an audio book - except this one time. Last year I was doing a 14-hour drive from Seattle to the Bay Area

The conclusion of this piece says: We shouldn't have to tolerate this sleaze. And if we back Khan and her team, they'll protect us from these scams. Don't let them convince you to give up hope. This is the start of

Perl's regex handling. That's the one I miss in whatever other language I program in. To be able to match AND get the matched substrings out in one line, makes this really succinct.

I read this book when I was learning functional programming. Since I started learning fp with Haskell, I couldn't figure out in the beginning how you create any meaningful programs with it. All I had were small toy programming problems

There is a version number at the top: "v8.8.0.8". I believe they keep making updates to the book probably to fix typos/errata. The original link I had bookmarked https://htdp.org/2018-01-06/Book/inde

I think this would make for a great blog post. I'm sure many would be interested in more details around this, not just the technical details of how you go about digitizing 35 years of cassette tapes! but any other details you found sig

I'm definitely going to start stretching before coding now! Maybe even 15 minutes of yoga before debugging.

Does anyone have recommendations for music theory from complete basics? Like I don't even know what a pitch is, what a tone is? Any recommendations would be much appreciated - books, videos, tutorials?

Thank you for writing this up. This was very understandable! You should consider writing a book for us laymen.
