I'm not familiar. What does such a thing look like?

You missed my point (and the author’s it appears).

You’re claiming to understand learning. People do phds in learning from multiple domains (psych, neuro, ux, etc). You already know it all?

The rabbit hole is deep. Coming in here and saying yeah yeah we all get it already is a sign that you don’t.

> Learning isn't coming up with new analogies for concepts you already completely understand over and over again.

You completely understand learning? :)

Oh my goodness, you literally wrote the ideas I was thinking about from a learning perspective.

I wrote about very similar things from a teaching perspective here: https://lelon.io/blog/how-to-teach-math

In fact, I've thought a lot about how to generalize these techniques to a data structure (i.e. knowledge graph) so that anyone can zoom in or out to whatever level of abstraction they please:

Would love to chat sometime!

which meds are you taking?

> Which companies are you referring to?

None specifically - I'm just interested in pivot points where companies decided to switch from technology x to technology z, and what made them do it.

> When did that happen? If everyone did "leave PHP", what will happen to all those websites:

Sorry, bad phrasing. I meant, "When did people stop deciding to greenlight new projects using PHP?"

> Here's an article you may find interesting:

Thanks!

> A chart like this does not exist.

Would you be interested in such a chart? or perhaps a tweaked version?

This is really cool!! I hope this becomes popular. Imagine having all theorems etc indexed like this!

This doesn't make much sense to me. How can there be a new scientific method?

Shouldn't these somehow boil down to the same thing: hypothesis, experiment, evidence against the null?

I feel like my company is a little too liberal with it. I suspect it might be a sign of some sort of fragmentation, but I'm not sure what kind (e.g. org chart, proj mgmt, no established point of contact for certain things).

For me, personally:

> what motivated you to learn to draw

Half of me wanted to impress my friends. The other half of me wanted to make stories come to life.

> what you were interested in drawing

Mostly animated characters. Faces. Portraits.

> biggest roadblock/weakness

PROPORTIONS. I hated how I'd draw something and it would always look "slightly off" but I couldn't really put my finger on exactly why

> how many times you've tried to learn

Probably about 3 times..

No offense, but are you joking? This is an extremely cynical take.

You don't see any benefit to having one mega amazing course?

You think there's no way to overcome the limitation you mentioned (bad information) at all? How about a peer review process?

FWIW I thought they were both pretty spot on. In fact, you mentioned this about DNS:

"As I read articles and tried stuff out (and broke my server config more than once) I started to grasp the system, to get glimpses into how it all worked, until eventually it “clicked” and I felt comfortable working with it."

Have you written about your mental models for DNS? Color me interested!

Has he published these notebooks online anywhere?

Ooh! That's a really good idea, thanks!

What makes it so disruptive?

What are some resources you’re using to learn that stuff?

That's my problem as well.

The docs told me I have ADHD. Maybe you do, too?

Not who you replied to, but you described me to a T.

Problem is - I have no idea what to do about it.

It's so hard to do anything fun in my free time because the moment I think about doing / starting something, goal oriented t thoughts follow, which means stress follows.

I wish I could just go into "kick the can" mode whenever I wanted and turn off the part of my brain that wants to see results, progress, and checkmarks.

A lot of what you're talking about is discussed in the following link, so I figured I'd mention it:

https://teachtogether.tech/ / Greg Wilson

I'm also very interested in tech education and edtech.

You might benefit from a tool called Roam Research:

https://www.nateliason.com/blog/roam

I use it (Anki), but this is the 3rd time I got started using it (I dropped off twice).

For me, personally, these are the reasons:

- It was kind of annoying to do Anki every day at first. Cards always seemed either blindingly obvious (and seemingly a waste of time), or I just didn't know the content (in which case, it was frustrating knowing I'd have to memorize it right there since I knew it'd pop up again in a few cards). Not knowing the content tended to be caused by having too much info on the Anki card.

- I didn't see the benefit clearly until after a few weeks of doing it, when stuff EVENTUALLY sunk in.

- About 70% of the time, I discovered that the card I created was inadequate in some way.

    * Some I just deleted because they were discovered to be redundant (i.e. covered by another card)

    * Some I discovered to have to much info (so I had to break it into more cards)

    * Some were just awkwardly phrased

    * Some were good cards but displayed weirdly in the Anki mobile app.

I'd say the #1 thing that kept me from fully adopting it:

Not making cards as atomized as possible made things a pain.

I was lazy and made cards contain more info with the justification that I needed to see everything at once in context. This resulted in bloated cards and frustration.

Trust me: Every card should contain one idea. It will result in you making tons of cards, but it will make your daily Anki a lot less frustrating (and you'll be more likely to do it).

I have zero credibility to make this statement, but:

I feel like we might run into a Mythical Man Month dilemma if we toss TONS of money at it.

Oooh, neat! Reminds me of this addon:

LaTeX Note Importer: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1199027445

I'm almost sold on downloading this, but I have a question.

Let's say I create notes.md with 2 cards:

## hey

hi

## hello

howdy

But, then I modify card #2:

## hello modified

howdy modified

and recreate the deck.

Does the 2nd card that has now been modified get treated as a whole new card? (In other words, if I've been using card 2 to study, do I have to start all over?)

If this is NOT the case, I am absolutely sold.

Why are you against uploading your ID?

And even then, I'm guessing you didn't have to update it, right? The code (classes I'm guessing?) probably still worked.

In any case, thanks for the feedback!

You think so? I figured maybe 10-20% of it was out of date, but that it was still probably worth buying. Still looking for alternatives, but considering it.

VERY interested in "Building Enterprise JavaScript Applications"

I noticed that it was released Sept 2018. That's not too old, but I'm curious if there's a more up-to-date version.

What % of Learning How To Learn is covered by Ultra Learning?

What resources do you recommend for learning relational databases and key value stores really well?

> a successful educational product needs to deeply and intimately understand pedagogy and materials

Do you have any resource suggestions for moving the needle towards the goal of learning pedagogy and materials deeply and intimately?
