I have been working on a course to teach kids how to learn programming with Scratch. I want to learn more of the Adobe CC suit to add more effects to my videos.
I want to learn how I can improve my remote skills to better work with my team.

Haskell. To do io you need monads. There's come from category theory. Haskell is great fun to learn, very different, focus on abstractions and abstractions of abstractions. One the one hand i highly recommend it. On the other the vast majority of people learning it never do any useful work at all in haskell. (This last statement will probably excite the haskell zealots whom I would encourage to reply with evidence.)…
As a great fan of Haskell myself, I would clarify that Haskell needs monads because of the (pure functional) restrictions it sets for itself, not because I/O itself fundamentally requires explicit monads. (Haskell itself supposedly used a lazy-list approach to input and output before monads caught on -- something like `main :: [Response] -> [Command]`, I think.) That being said, when you explicitly model side effects…
I come from the other side, Milewski's book is to me "Functional Programming for Category Theorists".
I've enjoyed learning a programming language at the same time as learning an interesting subject so much that I plan on repeating it!

This statement that you made—about side effects requiring monads—do you know a proof for that? I come from the other side, Milewski's book is to me "Functional Programming for Category Theorists".
I suppose my statement was a bit strong in that regard. Monads tend to arise very often in the way we build systems, but that doesn't mean they're the only way to cope with side-effects. It does seem likely that any way to capture "alternate outputs" from a function will end up looking like A -> T(B) in some category, though.
(Incidentally, if "A -> T(B)" looks funky, think about polynomials `f(x)` -- the function symbol `f` is just a placeholder for some expression involving the free variable `x`. Could be `A -> (B, String)`. The monad laws only make sure you have some foundation for reasoning about the extra type structure being added in by `T`.)

I do in-house marketing and digital marketing. What challenges are you facing? (I don't have a course to sell you and my services are not available for hire.)
Thx for asking. oo, where do I start ? I guess setting up an overall strategy before any actual tactical execution. We do close to 1M in revenue already and have inbound traffic already but I got to this point somehow without any real planning. We write a few blog posts, content etc, got social profiles where we post, were lucky to get a few great backlinks and have built some relationships with influencers in our in…
Choosing a meaningful and definite objective is the second hardest part of marketing.
The hardest part is talking to customers.
You'd like to buy some more customers, right? So do some research. What kind of customers do you want? How much are you willing to pay? Where can you get a great deal on them right now?
Many business owners spent more time researching lunch options last year than customers. Why?
What's the most obvious way to get more or better customers? Spend 45 minutes writing down every idea you can think of. Every single idea. You'll get through the fluff after about 25-30 minutes.
Then find the options that use your existing strengths, preferably in a non-obvious to your competitors way, and turn them into a story.
That's your strategy.
Do those things and see if they get you closer to your objective. And move fast.
Try big things, don't tolerate slow learning, and remember that you learn from reflecting on experience, not thinking about tools and techniques.
Let me know how it goes!
I'm learning how to make tacos starting with the tortilla. I'm originally from San Diego and have always missed Mexican food whenever I moved abroad. On a recent trip back to San Diego, I went to over a dozen Mexican shops to find particular flours to create tortillas from. I also went to Mexico twice just to find a specific brand of soft wheat flour. In total I think I experimented with atleast 5-6 different flours…

Would you mind sharing your tortilla recipe and/or pointers?
For sure, I mostly watched the Taco Chronicles Carne Asada episode on Netflix about 20x haha but here's a link to a similar recipe https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019621-sonoran-style-fl... however here's the gist of what's been working well for me so far since I love flour tortillas more so than corn: Current recipe 130g flour 80g hot water (steaming) 35g lard 1g salt Twice as much baking powder as what you see…
For those of us in Europe can you recommend your choice of flour (and perhaps some other replacement ingredients)

Thank you, it's just what I happened to be looking for! For those of us in Europe can you recommend your choice of flour (and perhaps some other replacement ingredients)
Get it at your local delicatessen, or your local Hyper Market.
Norwegian! Originally, I was going to do a hiking and photography tour of Fennoscandia in the Fall. I'm not sure if that'll still come to pass with the ever-looming collapse of society, but at least it's pretty refreshing to learn a new (non-programming) language for the first time in over a decade, and for the first time in my adult life.
I am a native Norwegian speaker! How is it going so far?
Went into it with pretty much zero knowledge of the language, and the thing that caught me most off-guard were some of the non-phonetic spellings, like _jeg_ and _kjøpper_, but else the actual grammar is similar enough to English that it's not causing too many issues!
Django. I'm building a side project to help learn it. I've been wanting to spend more time on side projects and now seems like a good opportunity to dive into them.
What are you making? I like django, seems easier initially than something like PHP-Laravel
