#212I'm studying DS and Algorithms, I am a self taught developer and I'm trying to fill some gaps in my general CS knowledge.
There's a project I want to work on but I feel a bit overwhelmed and don't know where I should start, I'd appreciate some advice here.
I want to create shogi(Japanese chess) server, similar to lichess, the thing is that I've never done anything similar to this, I've been reading about web sockets, this seems like a good place to start. I plan to use elixir for the backend, is this a good choice? Lichess uses scala, should I use this instead?

#213Machine Learning using fast.ai courses i would say they are really good and fast way for programmers to get onboard without going through all those boring statistics classes.
Have heard lot of good stuff about fast.ai courses. I am doing cs231n again. This time taking my time to understand the math and theory in much more detail

#217I've been clearing land all day and bought 50lbs of buckwheat. I intend to try sowing/harvesting by hand. I will use this mostly for breads and pastries. This is something of an experiment. Building skills, I'm almost finished a chicken coop. I made a dry stone arch bridge but it failed because the frame sank, I will try again. I am learning carving to make wooden animal toys for my child, who will be born in July (I…

#218Taking a math course that attempts to teach some of the ways mathematicians approach their profession, which I hear is quite different than learning math or doing math the way it is taught in schools or utilized by other types of professionals (e.g. engineers). The class is called "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking" by Keith Devlin, and it's on coursera.org.
Interesting. how useful you think it is for regular techies or let's say aspiring ML engineers ?

#219I'll probably get a lot of shit for this, but LeetCode. I've recently been furloughed, and I think that redundancies aren't too far away. There aren't many companies hiring in my area at the moment, and if I'm going to move it's going to be for a big company, so I'm dusting off the CV and am applying to some Big N companies. A recruiter recently reached out to me, and I've got an interview with one Big N company comi…
Never heard of LeetCode. Is it one of these fad languages? What companies are looking to hire people who are exprets with 10 years experience with this language?

#220I am learning game development in Godot, specifically with the intention of making an Oculus Quest VR game. I just finished the initial tutorial yesterday: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.2/getting_started/step_by_... Alongside that, I am also watching Disney's Imagineering-in-a-Box, which describes how they develop lands and rides for their theme parks: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/03/enjoy-a-one-o.…
thanks for Disney's Imagineering-in-a-Box!
