I've recently gone through Karpathy's Zero-to-Hero course (https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html) and the content is just superb. What other courses like this exist?
(I'm doing the Denero version: https://cs61a.org/denero.html) If you pass the command-line flag: `--local` you can run the tests without triggering the submission system.
Hastie and Tibshirani's class on Statistical Learning is a must for someone that wants to learn about ML. All of the classes are available here (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoROMvodv4rOzrYsAxzQy...) and the book recently got a Python version to complement the original R classes.
If you have any interest in functional programming and higher-order programming, or understanding the functional parts of languages you use now, then I'd say yes. At least as the course was structured a decade ago or whenever I took it. A lot of "non-functional" languages have functional influences. If you'd like to get a better idea of what those are and how they can be used more effectively and for higher-order programming, it would be a good course to take.
In addition to what the other comment says, I found that his class drastically sped up my ability to pick up new programming languages. The class teaches an underlying "grammar" that's common to all programming languages, almost like a linguistic approach. I also learned a "meta-language" by which to speak about (and effectively Google/research) any programming languages.

There are some great recommendations and some of them are among the best MOOCs that I have ever taken.
