I'm interested in what you have to say about your automatic income. What can you tell us about it?

That may not always be possible (or even necessary) to relate to a real-life example, but as long as you develop some sort of intuition, of "feeling" about what you learned, you did not fail at learning that. For example (taken fr

It seems like you are having trouble internalizing math. I think what you mean by "that does not strike" is that you have not yet developed actual insight into what you are learning. This seems to be what you are missing. So, yo

Depending on how much you are looking to invest, take a look at some design courses and books online. A good portion of them are targeted to developers who want to get better at design, as it seems to be your case, not only people looking a

Oh, I didn't know that. Well, that's a good reminder that pt and pt-BR have several vocabulary differences. A few more I can remember would be the words "bicha" (pt: queue, pt-BR: male homossexual) and "durex"

As a Brazilian, I agree with ricardobeat. I don't think I ever saw a situation where saying 'rabo' as a slang for ass would be considered even slightly prudish or childish, but always at the very least explicit. The african v

We say kilowatt-hours in Brazil too. Since it's a SI unit, I believe other countries use this too. It's probably because it's a more convenient unit to use when talking about electrical energy consumption, because 1 watt-hour

That's somewhat competitive, but I wouldn't call it a problem. Maybe you should redefine what kind of projects you tackle? From your definition, you could call a project "done" by the time you implement the dec64 math li

I think it's safe to say that the answer to your original question, "what keeps you going after you've solved the interesting technical issues in a software project?" is care for the end goal, the end goal being a projec

I've used it for 8 months, and did not observe any negative side effects in the nature of those you mention. One thing that I would consider somewhat of a disadvantage of an explicit repetition system is that you need to really take ca

Yes, is is designed for storing QA pairs, but it doesn't mean it can't be used for anything else. I believe you misunderstood the use I have in mind for the WHY questions. The idea is not to create cards for things you are trying

I use Flashcards Deluxe, whose data is only on my phone. After memorizing the password, you can remove the cards. If one is really concerned about security, you can just install a safe password manager and only leave the prompt on the flash

Duolingo is great, I use it too and know people who got results with it. I don't think it particularly shines on general vocabulary acquiring though¹, so that's where Memrise or a spaced repetition flashcard system like Anki or an

One hack I've been using is making cards like "How to solve exercise X on Book Y, page Z?". For me, doing a lot of exercises only once has worked worse than doing some key exercises more than once, and by using spaced repetit

One thing I've been doing in the past months, with great results, is memorizing passwords. I don't know how prevalent this is in the US, but here in Brazil, we use a lot of cards with chips, so that you type a password instead of

Certainly flash card systems shine on things that need to be rote-memorized, but you can "hack" the system by engineering your questions in a certain way, like the "Why" questions mentioned by the author of linked articl

Memrise is fine too. Do you use decks Source Language -> Destionation Language, the other way around, or both?

I've been using a similar method to learn some German vocabulary for about 8 months now (using Flashcards Deluxe, not Anki, though), and I could specially relate to the "Two-way connections" section of your friend's arti

Actually, they are taking a "big picture" approach, since it's easier to find out the chord produced by an unknown number of instruments than to find out how many instruments are playing and what they are playing, separately.

That would be correct. Google settled in Belo Horizonte by buying Akwan Search Technologies, which was co-founded by UFMG professors Nivio Ziviani[1] and Berthier Ribeiro-Neto (currently Google's Head of Engineering in Brazil). Informa

Agreed about the chapter dependencies. I hope this becomes a trend! The class is one semester long, and is divided between data analysis, frequent pattern mining, clustering and classification. Most of the book is either covered or briefly
