Golang!

More specifically, trying to build a static site that has all the indexes of my programming books indexed and searchable using Bleve.

Edit: If anyone has tips on how to extract text from indexes of books that'd be great. Currently thinking of using OpenCV as I'm comfortable with it.

I'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,…

I think Elixir would be an excellent choice. Once you have a sip, you’ll never want to go back. Might I recommend this book: https://pragprog.com/book/lhelph/functional-web-development-... there might be some overlap with your Shogi game idea to get you started.

Trying to learn some oratory and/or one on one communication skills and not having much of a clue where to start! My problems - I feel like I fail to quickly assess the other person and fail to adjust my communication - so I am either way too technical in the lingo or way too much of a layman talk that makes it feel like I am being insincere! I also fail to give up the 'problem solving' angle in communication - like…

Go easy on the sauce and simply listen.

Game development with the unreal engine in combination with 3D modelling in blender. I'd also like to learn some c++ when I'm more familiar with UE. While using blender I discovered that you can script there with python which was also on my long todo list. It's a bit slow since so much at once after work but still a lot of fun. I began to learn this because some friends and I wanted to make a car racing game.

Japanese. I took a year of Japanese in college 10 years ago, but never really followed up on it (other than watching anime). I started up again about 6 months ago and have been impressed by the number of online resources that are available now to the extent that self-study is easy (motivation aside).

I am reading A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography [1] by Dan Boneh and Victor Shoup, it's a work-in-progress theory and math heavy book. However it gives a deep understanding of what's going on and what can be assembled together. Unlike other crypto books, it isn't just glorifying DES, AES, and RSA.

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?

Oooh! Downvotes instead of answers. That is extremely helpful, thanks. So all the posts here about this BS are shills working for some marketing company pushing their shit. It's not anything real since today is the first time it's been mentioned here. Typical marketing Yale imbecile tactic is use robot army downvotes to make people who ask WTF is this seem like they are out of the loop. Reality is LeetCode is absolut…

Your comment will likely get killed so let me throw you a life-line

1. It's likely you're getting downvotes because it's an easily google-able question: https://leetcode.com/

2. " It's not anything real since today is the first time it's been mentioned here". easily proven to be untrue: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=site%3A...

3. You immediately responded to the downvotes with anger and insults, ensuring that no one will bother to engage. You're probably having a bad day but don't forget other people also are having shitty days and no one is helped by your behavior.

3. You've been here for long enough to know the rules. Keep things civil and assume positive intent wherever possible.

Hope your day gets better ( call a friend, hotline, play a game, draw, whatever it is that you use as a healthy form of therapy)

Dude, a Google search would have eliminated the need for you to have a fit, you're not even close to correct, look it up.
