Just bookmarked both sites! Thanks :). Always looking for more material while driving, and podcasts are too hit or miss for me these days. Would love the ability to search through these materials that are audio only.

I've been running (well, fast jogging) 10-20 miles/week for over 10 years. I've had so many feet and knee problems over the years and ended up getting $250 custom-molded graphite orthotics. Those essentially acted as crutches

Haha good call. I guess its not the machinery at the gym that's the problem, but the culture, smell, and general atmosphere. I have a (wobbly) pullup bar and a punching bag at home, though I'd need to install some bars in the yard

That's true -- there's definitely a bit of knowledge needed to get started, but most of that can probably be taught in 2-3 classes. I think the first problem in learning data science is coming up with a "Foundations" cur

Good collection, but as someone who has been slowly learning data science over the past few years, I think it needs far fewer lectures and waaaay more projects. The biggest difficulty I have with learning data science is not how the algorit

Yeah, I have no physical intuition or hands on skills. I have played around with an arduino or two a few years back, but that's about it. Recently I've been thinking about setting up my on solar + wind energy generating systems in

Yeah, Patreon has been fantastic for a lot of publishers with loyal fans. Aside from the people who donate $1, where a lot of that gets lost in transaction fees, most of the money goes right to the publishers. There are two reasons I dislik
