Maybe the problem is that you are assuming others have no trouble. Videos tend to pack more stuff in a shorter amount of time and new concepts require extra effort. I have heard that some "learn better by video rather than text, etc..." but doubt it is true.
The fact that you know you are aware, shouldn't be even possible to begin with. What I am getting at is that I don't think there a physical explanation for it. If that is the case, then there is no reason for a robot to have rights, regardless of how human it seems.
Re:Even Mark Zuckerberg puts tape over his webcam on Wednesday June 22, 2016 @05:04AM (#11952417)
So... is it possible to turn on a webcam without the light? (referring to macs)

I used to tape it, but stopped out of fear of looking stupid.

Recursion is a very simple concept and really doubt you will find a whole book dedicated to it.

Checkout Computer Systems: A programmers approach

It explains what is happening in memory when you call a function.

Now we need a muchbettermotherfuckingwebsite.com

Re:Ask HN: Is Sublime Text profitable? on Wednesday June 15, 2016 @09:20PM (#11913358)
There are plenty of other free editors. Why would I pay for sublime?

Sublime has a great opportunity to exploit: adding new features for a price. There are plenty of areas open for improvement and the user base is already there.

Jobless student.

In that case, I would rather use a free editor.

"There are a FEW DOZEN courses on the old platform that will not migrate to the new platform."
Yeah dude, you should convince them to waste the opportunity to make billions.

Your thoughts on CS188 vs Udacity's Intro to AI?
what site is a great example of good UX?
Since I am not an economist, I can't argue its validity:

It can't be all there is to it. In Afghanistan, puppies have been cultivated in open fields for decades and the US hasn't done shit - besides patrolling. I remember reading somewhere that the US banks benefited from the liquid cash of these kind of activities during the financial crisis in 2008.
That's a hilarious idea.

They are available, I have doubts about OP's post.

The only thing I hate about the new platform is that you can't access the info until a week after you enrolled into self-paced courses. It is fucking stupid. Beyond retarded.
