Just a suggestion: Why not add a Discord link too ?

Thanks for pointing out these Reddit pages. I wasn't aware of these

Thanks for sharing. What is the background of the author ? Not very clear from the /About page

Autodesk's actions are most probably a response to feeling the heat from stable, multi-faceted & open source Modelling, Animation and Sculpting tool, Blender which is completely free, receiving considerable attention from industry recently (after v2.8)

Thanks a lot for pointing to these lectures ! Sometimes even freely available quality material doesn't serve its intended purpose due to lack of awareness among those who want/need it
Re:Eigenvectors from eigenvalues on Friday November 15, 2019 @06:23AM (#21544005)
Wow... your comment is infact more useful pearl of wisdom for getting the intuition of Eigen-values/vectors. Can you suggest some book/reference that best conveys this intuition ? Somehow, Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra does put me to sleep :/

That's not called stealing then, is it ? Have you no sense!...
Amazing! didn't think I could get so hooked up to a stereogram renderer.... I'd suggest adding other colorful background variations, apart from random dots, as well. Thanks for sharing !
Re:The Chinese fascination with numbers on Tuesday February 12, 2019 @12:23PM (#19145446)
The Hindu–Arabic numerals are monosyllabic in most Indian languages (e.g. Hindi, Bengali, etc.) as well
Don't put India in the same basket as China

We have fundamental enforceable human rights, democratic government, independent judiciary, (way too much)state-independent media, functional Intellectual Property Rights(IPR) regime while China lacks all of these.

Also, India has not even begun to setup the kind of real-time mass surveillance, through millions of cameras, already in place (to be fair, US is comparable here) or the upcoming dystopian big data-driven, social network-like integrated citizen evaluation program, Social Credit System(SCS) in China.

So, its wildly inappropriate to mention India and China in the same vein here

share your sorrows regarding broken FF extension, most notably FT Deepdark. I haven't upgraded beyond FF 56 for same reason. (Sorry for deviating from main topic here)
There is another book written by the same author specifically aimed at Data Science problems, called 'The Data Science Design Manual'. Check it out at its dedicated website: www.data-manual.com

Thats' why contribute and stick to Firefox.
