So where’s the meal plan app? ... I had similar idea and started with a spreadsheet, I havnt finished yet but thought the problem was interesting and would like to see how you solved it. My idea was to have a list of recipes that you pick for a meal plan and the app would output the grocery list.
I can get a better education from Moocs than I did from my tenured mathematics professor who didn’t know the applications of linear algebra in the real world.
Freecodecamp.com - I'm surprised nobody here is touting it. It's the best. Has a forum, has a curriculum, hits on computer knowledge students might have gaps in, uses github, is open source, etc. glitch is a cool way to do a full stack demo but you need to go through some learning on your own first I think and FCC is the best free tool there is
I wish I had a good word to describe my gratitude for this post! I've though reverse dictionary could work but doesn't. Another dictionary I would love to have access to is one where you can find words in other languages that don't exist in yours.
The general advice I've seen is to not host your own server. But I think it would be a great learning experience. If you cover the basics, is your server still extremely vulnerable?
Not only, the visualizations available today replace years of comprehending, ie 3brown1blue , I had a tenured professor who didn't know the real world applications of linear algebra
I've only dealt with one in my life because I've mostly sublet. And they screwed me. It could have been worse but I learned my lesson to not give them any room for taking advantage of you. Take pictures, do a walk through etc. Now I'll search for reviews of the company and mostly they are all terrible. And then you see a little of it when you deal with the people through the process. And start to imagine writing your own terrible review in the future and just wish a good person would take you in and give you a safe place to live.
Just spent a month looking for a studio or one bedroom below $1200. Plenty of ok options and a couple better than ok. All apartments came with the threat of a scary property management company. Finally we found an artsy owner with an attic and After waiting two weeks for our background check to pass for a studio we were approved but had already signed a lease for he attic. Pretty stressful process. Mostly because the paranoia of dealing with shady property managers. If I was a Stanford MBA I'd start a nation wide property management firm that focus on ethics and does shit right. Housing fellow hard working citezens should be an honor and done with good morals. And to think how much harder it is for somebody just even a little bit worse off than me...
