Khan Academy Two main reasons why it's better than other resources for your use case: - it covers everything from pre-school arithmetic all the way up to multivariable calculus. This means that you can pick up from the level that you&#

I'm very confused about the overall attitude and trends at the moment when it comes to higher education especially postgraduate education and academia. On one hand there seems to be a certain amount of disillusionment with universities

The web, software in general, technology in general, anything outside of software and technology, life overall... I feel similarly and it's hard to distinguish between healthy lack of interest in something and just general depression.

I'm not a backend developer and I can't comment on the actual framework vs no framework in Go discussion. What I want to say it looks a bit arrogant to portray yourself as this enlightenened person who has seen what would take oth

Having done a bit of C++ back in high school, I just spent the past several weeks getting somewhat familiar with modern C++. No idea if it's worth it or if I'm wasting my time and should have picked Go/Rust instead.

There is a good reason why advice typically flows in the opposite direction. As a junior/mid-level anything that I can say in this context will be closer to a request than giving actual advice.

And they have C as number one? Visual Basic ranked higher than JavaScript? Groovy (!?) higher than Go, Swift and Ruby? R higher than SQL? What a joke the TIOBE index is.

I'm suprised by: > Good parts: library ecosystem is great > Bad parts: having to fight the compiler My limited impression of Rust was the opposite on both points - that the compiler is super helpful but the crate ecosystem sucks.

After testing this with a temporary email, I received an email prompting me to confirm my address but nothing else after confirming. So you're basically just collecting emails without sending anything in return.
