I’ve been a homeowner for a mere two years and I’ve discovered many things wrong with my house. YouTube has a video outlining what I need to fix and how to fix it 90% of the time. Tradespeople get called for the remaining 10%. It’s possible a class with a curriculum and structure would help but YouTube has what you need for ad hoc homeowner issues.


> no git blame annotations

Thanks for mentioning this. I was going to give this a try this weekend but that's a dealbreaker for me.


Here's their ticket for that feature: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CWM-2913

Sounds like they _are_ making fast progress at least.


Me too! It's crazy to me that I've never met you or the parent poster but we were living very similar lives the last week of the year due to the same Java DateTime design decision!

These were extremely fascinating for me, and were written for a layman which I appreciated [0][1]. They're about the singularity.

I took a class on computer vision and we used the OpenCV library extensively [0]. I remember that we had a project relating to detecting certain traffic signs, and obtaining the dominant color of images was a big part of my solution. Also, this tutorial seems like it would be helpful [1].

People have been interested in this in the past so I'll post it again: Peter Norvig's satisfying Jupyter notebook solutions from AoC 2016[0].

He also did one for 2017[0]. I imagine if he does this one it will end up in the same repo.

I have a friend who writes modern fortran nearly everyday as an actuarial pension analyst in Manhattan. They hired him out of college having never written a "hello world" script. Hope that helps!


Dead language tallying the dead?


I began my career 30 years ago writing actuarial valuations in Fortran77. Glad to see the industry hasn't changed (much).

> It is free

Just as a warning for anyone price-sensitive interested in taking this course, its cost is non-zero due to cloud costs. It is free to audit though! I'm not trying to dissuade anyone; it is just good to know going into it.


I did manage to setup the notebook and cuda on my local machine. I have an older GTX card.


That is true for any deep learning course. You need a GPU to run SOTA algorithms.


We can use Google Colab instead, right? They're free.
