I have two requests in this regard. - If there's some way to learn playing chess beyond just the rules without memorizing an encyclopedia of openings, I'd be grateful for links. I.e. I currently can stare at a position for a while and figure out a couple next moves that should be good. I'd like to elevate this to figuring out a bit more moves. (Though I have a suspicion that it's a question of ‘rinse and repeat until…
For chess, there's a PC game Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition It has narrated step by step tutorials by Josh Waitzkin, it put you in special situations to learn basic tactics like discover attacks , pin or skewer ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_tactic ). There are also tutorials for knowing the tiny details about endings with specific pieces, like bishops vs bishops where you have to be very wary of the color of…
(Upd: apparently there was an Android release by Gameloft in 2004, but it looks very questionably: https://www.mobygames.com/game/chessmaster___)
Would have to be Nand2Tetris. You build an entire computing system from "scratch" using a set of emulator tools. You design logic chips all the way to an operating system. It's a lot of work, but is very self-contained. https://www.nand2tetris.org/

Wil Wheaton's TableTop series on how to play various boardgames is really well done and engaging. https://geekandsundry.com/shows/tabletop/

https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid-blogr/en/lat... - because I wrote it. I've found that newcomers struggle with many concepts during presentations so I wrote my own tutorial for beginners. On many meetups and hackathons I've noticed people break their environments or Linux installations. It's a bit much but we try to start from scratch showcasing how to use venv to get things going and create a small ap…

Thank you, such a classic. His omelet video is incredible too. Learned his French variety a few years back, took a few tries to perfect but now can open nearly any fridge and make a great meal in 2 minutes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X1XoCQm5JSQ
You'll get much better results with room temperature eggs. Straight from the fridge they take longer to cook and the bottom layer might be overcooked by the time the top is done.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is it down? Using "ssh bandit0@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220" I just get "ssh: connect to host bandit.labs.overthewire.org port 2220: Connection refused"
I'm getting the same thing. It's always worked for me before. It might have gotten hugged to death.

Episode 3 in particular, which was about equal temperament, is especially good. It explains things like scales and chords in a very satisfying way for both experienced musicians and those who have not had a formal education. He even ties it back to the actual physics of sound and harmonics.
It's only got half a dozen episodes, so it's worth a go.
