Is it really true that "... over 70% of people who are trying to learn to code today use videos."?

Is this as the primary method of learning, or are videos just a component of the modern-day learning experience?

Is this what is considered a product page these days? One vaguely non-specific sentence and 2 embedded videos.

They have all the information and images they need available on the play store, so why are they not presenting it on their own site?

(grumble, grumble)

Unless you're inserting as the first line ...

Am I just out of touch with what the kids today are doing, or is this formatting really as bonkers as it seems?

  int main
    ( int argc
    , char *argv[]
    ) {
  
    // ...
  
    LColor backgroundColor =
      LColor
        ( generateLightColorPart(207, 1)
        , generateLightColorPart(154, 1)
        , generateLightColorPart(108, 1)
        , 1
        );
  
    // ...
  
  }
I can (sort of) see that this makes it easy to comment out parameters - except for the first one...

Anyone who can understand what OpenCV actually is from their front page is doing better than me.
"KiTTY is a fork from version 0.67 of PuTTY, the best telnet / SSH client in the world."

Wow - if PuTTY is "the best client in the world" then this must be, by definition, an inferior product.

Re:Studies about human perception on Tuesday May 31, 2016 @03:41AM (#11805257)
I gave up after the 2nd paragraph:

Clearly I have learned everything there is to know about how humans perceive data graphics in preparation for this talk. Literally everything. But I couldn’t possibly fit it all into 30 minutes. So for your sake, let’s just refer to this talk as “39 studies on human perception in 30 minutes.”
