• So I made a python script to add entries to your dynamic config.yml file dynamically

  Let me know what you think and if you have suggestions to resolve that bug. I'm learning programming and have next to no python experience, I am taking CS50 through edx.org and the AI at chatgpt did most of the work. Source: about 3 years ago

• Think I might change my name...

  Im sorry man I want to be sympathetic but people like you cost an incalculable amount of people far more than you could even imagine and I truly believe that if hell exists you will be going there. I am serious though about seeking mental help you seem to still not have any impact on your mind or soul of how you affected other people just how your actions affected you that is some sociopath shit right there and if...

• I’m homeschooled but my parents don’t teach me a thing

  Khanacademy.org is a fantastic resource for math, as well as many other courses. If you have access to the internet, try taking some of the courses there. They mirror what is taught in public schools with classes for all grade levels. There are other resources like edx.org that can provide free courses in topics like computer science and business.

• Is there a way to learn AI during my engineering degree?

  u can always self study, u aren’t limited to learn only what’s in ur degree. Go on edx and check our some of their free courses. Ur life is a lot more than the degree ur pursuing. Source: about 3 years ago

• What I Learned from Two Years of Teaching High School CS

  The "best" professors/teachers I saw yet, where radiating an exhuberant joy while talking about their topic. It is fun to listen. They where a russian teaching in america who recorded a series about physics for TTC, The Teaching Company. He got voted best professor in america twice.The other one was David Malan of Harvards CS50 on [0]. Beware though, it sadly spoils you for later lectures by others. [0]... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Show HN: tale.fyi, we deserve a home for fiction

  i've been building this over the last two weeks, it first started as a reader for standard ebooks (https://standardebooks.org/), with clean typography, progress tracking, and nice deep linking (try clicking on a paragraph to create a mark and copy it to your clipboard) but I think I really unlocked something when I discovered the amazing recordings on https://librivox.org, I've been spending the last few days... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Project Gutenberg – keeps getting better

  Used to be one could sort of get that with the Project Librivox: https://librivox.org/ e-book app Gutebooks (in addition to their audio app), but it seems to have been deprecated (I'm no longer able to connect to the server on my copy (which I only got 'cause there was an in-app purchase to fund Project Librivox). FWIW, Barnes & Noble has been plundering the public domain using a book composition/keying house in... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell

  There's a really awesome site called Librivox [1], where volunteers narrate books that are in the public domain. Those recordings are also in the public domain as well (this is just part of the Librivox thing). The quality of those recordings (both the narration, and the actual recording quality) varies quite a bit and most of them aren't at a quality I'd expect people to pay for and thus aren't useable for me.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• MIT 6.1200J Mathematics for Computer Science, Spring 2024

  This course has been a _huge_ help to me in my current project (a G-code previewer and programmatic 3D modeling system written for (Open)PythonSCAD). I would recommend pairing it with: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/ and some additional online resources which I've found very helpful: - https://mathcs.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/elements.html -... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
