   Yes, you'll be able to work through the course using Linux without any problems. The only software that's in use is DBeaver and Postgres - both of which run on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I'll make a note to record a setup video

    Is analysis of the crypto market and the price of various coins even possible? A lot of articles seem to approach the price of coins as something that can be rationally discussed, however at the same time we all know the market is a) unregu

    Yes, I've noticed this a lot with Android projects too. Recently I looked at a project that openly bragged about using: RxJava 2/AutoDispose, Conductor, AutoValue, Glide, ThreetenABP, Inspector, PSync, Chuck, Scalpel, Stetho, Room

    As someone with no horse in this race, I hadn't been following the debate leading up to the Brexit but I did see the aftermath on Twitter, FB, mainstream media, etc. What I saw was really fascinating - an almost universal outpouring of
