This is the basic idea behind https://python.cards , the site I'm building to learn Python with spaced repetition. The hard thing is building the deck. With pre-built decks I expect to greatly reduce the effort required whil

It seems the tricky part is motivation. Very few people get excited by card-reviewing itself. The method shines when there is external pressure, such as exams. I think a sense of community can help provide this motivation (like a group of p

Anki is unbeatable for acing any test with a bounded number of questions [1]. It's been successfully used by some top TV show contestants to remember thousands of words [2]. I've been using it recently to remember recipes and cook

Author here. I created this framework to organize my thoughts and the advice I've given to more junior developers over the years on how to become a better developer. I'd love to know if you find it useful or miss something.

Probably not terrible, but serving a different purpose. I recommend this interview with Duolingo's founder Luis von Ahn: https://www.npr.org/2020/05/22/860884062/recaptcha-and-duoli...

Thanks! I definitely will add more examples to the landing page, currently I'm working hard on the decks: pathlib in depth, a tour of the stdlib and Norvig's tricks (a collection of tricks from the Pytydes of Peter Norvig). I beli

Very interesting. According to the benchmarks, with this algorithm, users can review 20-30% fewer cards than with the classic Anki algorithm. Just a few days ago, I published a Python implementation of the classic SM-2 algorithm that I use
