What is it with that university and questionable practices...

Two more:

For a course format with more audio exposure? Speakly

For an immersion-based approach that will help you improve reading fluency massively once you know just a little bit? LingQ

I'm in sales/marketing; bored out of my mind, so I'm studying to be in R&D.

I remember this being shown on PBS Infinite Series. God I miss that show.

But it actually seems to serve a useful purpose, namely memory consolidation and differentiation between objects/experiences.

As someone with a terrible memory who grew up with these constant distractions around me, be it a phone or an MP3 player or what have you, I often wonder how much that contributes to my lack of substantial memory about my childhood. While it's not mentioned here, I wonder if the inverse of this finding is true; specifically, if one doesn't have time of "quiet wakefulness", are they likely to experience a larger-than-usual absence of memory?

Here comes Rule 34...

I assumed that was satire when I read it.

yeah, some of the exercises are like the following:

```

function helloWorld() {

  return "";
}

helloWorld()

```

but those sorts of obvious examples are mostly in the beginner exercises, so I wonder what the distribution of the correct answers was. If it was guessing based on function stubs, the prediction would be that correct answers would be clustered around the beginner exercises, and that as the exercises advanced in difficulty, there were fewer correct answers.

Not to mention you might have to work on projects that are mostly divorced from programming entirely, like making plugins work together in WordPress.
