Go read the first few chapters of Algebra Chapter 0, and do the exercises. There's a free copy online somewhere... This is the book that really demystifies it from the ground up.
Thanks for the suggestion. Is this [0] the book in question? [0] https://zr9558.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/algebra-chapter-0...
I'd like to learn Japanese. I'm hoping to travel there in June after I graduate from college, and I figure it would help if I could talk to people (or try, at least). I'd also like to get better at Rust. I've written a few small projects in it at hackathons, but I've yet to get to the point where I'm comfortable writing in it. I'd like to get close to that. I'm taking a class prior to graduation in abstract algebra,…
The Yamasa school there is a great little find. The prices are very reasonable and they do everything they can to make it foreigner friendly, ie providing housing with thick walls, simple leases and things. Would recommend SILAC program which is mostly talking, even though I did the more formal class route, SILAC is probably more effective I think after learning more about how learning works

Controlling for time availability and motivation seems both crucial to getting relevant results and damn near impossible to pull off. I'd be happy to CMV but it's not the kind of thing I'm willing to spend a day doing a deep-dive over.
1 thing that helps a lot is immersion. I couldn't justify learning a language till I lived in the country where it was spoken. I am doing this in japan now (moved here recently)
Write a novel, and learn a language. I started writing a sword and sourcery novel on my rail commute, and its been much more fun than listening to fantasy audiobooks (which are very hit and miss in quality). I've previously learned some French, German and Mandarin Chinese. I'd like to reach the threshold where I manage conversation in one of them by the end of the year. My Mandarin learning is most recent, my German…
Here are my goals for 2017: - 10 seconds Free-standing Handstand: Practice 6-7 days a week, for twenty minutes, following the GMB Handstand progressions. - 10 seconds advanced tuck back-lever on the gymnastics rings: Practice 3-4x week, following FitnessFAQs progressions. - Bulgarian split squats, 4x12 50kg: I'll go with a somewhat linear progression -- work from 3x8 up to 4x12. When I do 3 workouts using 4x12, I'll…
I think learning the handstand is a great idea. For me, handstands helped relieve a ton of shoulder pain I had from football + too many bench/bicep workouts. It also just looks super cool to boot and you can do them anywhere. Best of luck
I'm currently working on wall leg flutters. My balance improved a lot after I increase training frequency to 5-6 days a week (in comparison to 3x).

Damn this is just like mine. Good luck!

SICP might interest you.
Vim. I'm a notepad++ and PHPStorm user but I've gotten curious about the potential productivity gains afforded by the vim power user functions.
I use vim and emacs both. From a power user standpoint emacs is better. From faster edits perspective vim is better. I am sure most will agree with this view.
Personally I don't like these Emacs distributions so I might recommend the way I did my journey: first vim for years, then emacs+evil. You'll learn the bare emacs basics on the side. Now with Vim 8 having vastly enhanced IPC capabilities, Emacs might not be at such an advantage anymore. The amount of Vim users is staggering, and they have such energy. It's a nice community overall. (Not that Emacsers would be any worse.)

Have you tried any of the online freelance market places, like toptal, upwork, peopleperhour..etc ?
I have, but with zero success. I've read awful things about Toptal and PeoplePerHour, so I didn't really go for them. Upwork seems to be filled with developers from various parts of Asia where the low cost of living allows them to bid way lower than what I would charge. The quality of work also seems pretty bad, from what I can tell (one-sentence descriptions, bad grammar, crazy low budgets, etc.). I've seen advice l…
2. gRPC/Protobufs
3. Kubernetes is also on the list. I really wanna understand how microservices work in production (deployment, monitoring, recovering, debugging).
4. Practical Deep Learning (TensorFlow/Keras etc)
Any suggestions/guidance for any one of those will be really helpful.
PS: I'm from C++ and python background.
