That's why I mentioned Beamer's docs. There is a very good tool-agnostic chapter in them.
Looked it up. You mean the chapter „Guidelines for Creating Presentation“?
Yes. It's full of wisdom and humor. ;-)
I loved especially this gem:
> Never, ever reuse a paper abstract for a presentation, except if the abstract is “We show P = NP” or “We show P ≠ NP”.

#841) Sales. Co-founded a B2B startup, so this is now a pressing concern, and as a long-time developer it’s one of those things that gives me hives, where I barely even know how to start (got lots of research to do!). It’s going to be -the- challenge of 2024 for me. 2) How to build an OS (in Rust). I’ve seen a few different articles in HN over the years and kept them bookmarked because I think it’ll be a lot of fun to a…
For 2: Apparently it's broken at the moment, but https://wiki.osdev.org/ is an amazing resource. It's incredibly satisfying to boot into your own multitasking kernel. Back when I did it back in the late 1900s there were a lot fewer resources like this, and a lot more just working it out from Intel manuals. It's a lot of fun, and teaches you a lot.
I did the same - booted my own multi-tasking OS in x86 assembly, with osdev.org and alt.os.development being extremely helpful!
... but did you have to call it the 1900s LOL :)

#851) Networking: While I don't plan to do much home networking, knowing fundamentals would be helpful to my day to day. So I'm going to go through Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach ( https://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/index.php ) and augment it with CS 144 ( https://www.scs.stanford.edu/10au-cs144/ ). 2) SQL: As another user mentioned, while I am primarily a FE, there are times when I need to work on the back…
Online practice on Stratascratch is good for SQL (SQLbolt and SQLzoo for the basics) ... Pavlo, Widom, Date for CS of database systems.

I could have called it the late 1000s. :-)

What platform do you use to hire code mentors? I would be grateful if you shared any past experiences with them.
