if you just choose an academic lens, you can say number of citations and limit it to certain journals

I find the functional programming crowd can be very vocal on a site like HN...can't tell you how many times I thought..."you know, I should really learn Lisp" after visiting here!

Although not a course, I thought this had some excellent material: Practical Programming (2nd edition) An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python 3 https://pragprog.com/book/gwpy2/practical-programming

quick note on the first link...I think graphs are done using tikz: http://blancosilva.github.io/post/2010/12/12/using-tikz-as-a...

If anyone wants to play around with Computational Geometry and Python, I'd recommend as a great starting point: http://blancosilva.github.io/post/2014/10/28/Computational-G...

Also, Apress has a cool book about Python and graphics with some pretty intense source code found here: https://github.com/Apress/python-graphics

FiveThirtyEight also puts their data on Kaggle, if you are interested:

My major reason for supporting legalization is that when you legalize marijuana, you decrease the incentive for police to search cars, most of the time by tricking people into giving voluntary consent, so that's a good thing.

On the other hand, smoking marijuana all day is most definitely not a good thing. I never really thought about the health benefits.

at the bottom of most Wikipedia pages there are lists of references, further reading and external links

I've been looking into JAMstack...static site generators, github pages, continuous integration, aws lambdas, etc. Makes a lot of sense.

On the other hand, I just got a vps and am planning on learning Golang ;-)

I just bought "The marijuana conviction: a history of marijuana prohibition in the United States," although I don't think you'll find it on Kindle. Pick up a copy at Amazon or AbeBooks.
