Tbh any MOOC that "needs only 2-4 hours a week" is, by design, an entry level course and taking more of those won't help you progress. On the other hand, you shouldn't lump together and dismiss all MOOCs as there are ple

Regarding that GNOME update, do GNOME developers just don't have any competence in UX design? That screencast is suggesting you need to click the activities button in the top left corner to be able to reveal a nav panel that's all

Also there are microorganisms that digest plastic. They could've thrived at some point and then diminished in numbers after much of the plastic from the previous industrial civilization was consumed.

I had a class that was so easy that most students didn't bother to show up for lectures. Near the end of the semester the profesor got angry that nobody came to his lecture and decided to retroactively grade attendance with 70% of the

You can take the MIT sequence of courses on edX (taught by, I believe the CEO of edX, so, in a sense, this is the original flagship edX course) https://www.edx.org/course/circuits-electronics-1-basic-circ... https:&#x

A few months ago I won about $200 worth of Amazon gift card codes. Since nothing from Amazon delivers to my country I decided to give them to an American friend of mine. I remember it was late for him when I sent him the codes over Facebook

Maybe this is a good opportunity for Firefox to abandon its "forced mediocrity" model. The vanilla installation of Firefox lacks basic UI components (mouse gestures for example), lacks session management, and the bookmark and hist

Those look more like proofs with pictures, than proofs by picture, but I'm too lazy to get involved into the obscure notation of that book and check whether a random proof from the book would be equivalent to a modern proof from a stan

Proofs by picture arent proofs though. And how would you even convey by picture that two line segments are of the same length. Or that if you drew C and D as separate points they turn out to be the same point?

It's actually the other way around. Mathematical notation used to be very much language-like and tedious to read. As time went by (and math became more complicated) notation was developed to make it more succinct and easier to understa

Wouldn't these two lines of code do the same thing? var addCSS = (css) => { window.document.styleSheets[0].insertRule(css, window.document.styleSheets[0].cssRules.length); }; addCSS('.x { color: red; width: 5px; }');

A tangible benefit for a young English-speaking native to learn, for example, German, French or Norwegian would be the ability to obtain university education for free (or near free ~ $50-$100 per semester, compared to $10k-$50k for USA or U

Good point. So maybe browsers should make the full version the default and then add the following options for more tech savvy users (and users can set the permanent default or per website setting): 1) full mode (all JS is enabled) 2) lite m

Random idea: Couldn't browsers have two modes of browsing, one lightweight one where only the most basic of JS features are enabled by default (this is something that 99% of websites actually need) and the full version where everything

I think tau was used on purpose in that article to avoid confusion with the prime counting function, typically denoted pi (unrelated to the constant pi)

You're correct. There is one object in all of mathematics that isn't defined (you've got to start from somewhere), it is just assumed that humans implicitly understand this concept, and it's the concept of a set (denotin
