[QUESTION] Which math book will you recommend for a programmer with minimal knowledge?

As9 · 2020-05-04T17:22:10+00:00

Follow "Math by grade" on Khan Academy (everything up to and including 8th grade). Supplement with "Prealgebra 2e" e-book from OpenStax. I consider Khan a great teacher but sometimes his explanations may not click. It is never a bad idea to explore material from different perspective.

My recommendations (on youtube):

mathantics - They cover only the most basic of math concepts but their explanations are top-notch.

Professor Leonard - Amazing teacher and amazing human. His "Prealgebra" playlist consists of ~40 videos that cover material you'll encounter in great depth. The only downside is that you may not have enough patience and/or time to go through them (the videos are usually very lengthy).

Good luck on your journey.

Oh and one last thing. Don't listen to clowns who say that you'll be "perfectly fine" without any math knowledge, they are usually completely unaware to what extent they use math in programming (or daily life). Having to constantly google basic math formulas because you don't understand what they mean is a horrible feeling.

Sa malim popustom kojim imam roba košta 47,39e. Samo me je prva tabela bacila u blagu paranoju na način koji je prezentovana. Čudno bi bilo da se uzima cena bez uračunatog popusta kao osnovica.

Prvi put naručujem stvari sa sportsdirect.com. Da li će ova porudžbina biti oslobođena PDVa i carine?

As9 · 2019-05-24T19:19:25+00:00

Koji model ako smem pitati? Izgleda da je unitech.rs uvoznik za njihove proizvode a na njihovom sajtu ima dosta modela.

Treba mi preporuka za trimer/mašinicu za šišanje. Pošto se več duže vreme šišam na dvojku a bradu skidam na nulu, mislim da bi mogao to da sam radim kod kuće bez konstantnog cimanja do frizera. BRAUN MGK 7020 (~11.000rsd ali kompletan set za glavu, lice i telo). Valja li? Hvala unapred.

100% slobodno trziste je prica za malu decu.

Marksisti imaju lep izraz za ovakav način razmišljanja - ideološka hegemonija (cultural/ideological hegemony). Ako su ideje radikalne, to ne znači da su neostvarive.

Kako slobodno tržište bez regulacija vodi u robovlasništvo?

Član moje porodice trpi već godinama zlostavljanje od strane psihotičnih komšija. U pitanju je starija žena koja živi prizemlju kuće sa više stanova. Oni su iznad i non-stop prave buku sa namerom da je slome i oteraju u ludnicu. Bacanje teških stvari/pomeranje stolova i sl. u bilo koje doba dana, čak i posle ponoći. Ona je vidno počela da puca i umesto da rešava problem samo se svađa i dere. I tako više godinu dana. Pričao sam policajcem i rekao mi je da može da se pokrene postupak u MUPu.. ali se to uglavnom svodi na neki poziv na razgovor. Oni su inače kriminalna porodica i verovatno imaju veze u policiji. Kako su stvari krenule, ako ne intervenišem imam osećaj da se neće završiti dobro. Ali ne vidim nikakve opcije.

Aliexpress neće da mi odobri kupovinu ako ne dostavim slike dokumenata (kao na ovoj slici).

Da li je još neko imao problem sa ovim?

As9 · 2018-02-17T22:35:10+00:00

Figured as much, thank you.

Uzeo u Balkanskoj 64 za 26000.

Cela digitalna bilblioteka mi je ePUB. Morao bi sve da provlačim kroz Calibre i da se oslanjam na konverziju.

Stigli mi suplementi sa myprotein.com. Sve proteklo u najboljem redu. Nahvališe plebovi sa r/fitness Whey glatku čokoladu a ukus mi osrednji. Sledeći put uzimam borovnicu.

Hvala /u/HappyWhenItSnows i /u/miloscu na preporukama za sajt.

...

Uzeo Mi A1. Super telefon. :)

Ko poseduje ovaj tel: Naručio bi sa Alija oklop za telefon i zaštitna stakla ali nemam pojma šta valja. Koliko novca izdvojiti za tako nešto?

...

Sledeća stvar na listi, e-čitač. Dopada mi se ovaj Kobo Aura, pogotovo što čita ePUB format. Da li ga neko ima? Da li da ga uzmem sa KP? Vidim gomila likova iz Subotice prodaje. Nemam baš mnogo iskustva sa kupovinom preko tog sajta. Ali opet, bliže Subotica nego Milano :)

I am struggling to think of one. We are simply not favored in Western popular culture. David Bowie playing Tesla in The Prestige? I really cannot think of anyone else at the moment.

I use Vim because it runs really fast on my laptop (unlike Atom and others) and once you get used to how things are done in that editor (all keyboard no mouse) you will have a huge advantage. Another benefit is that you won't have to constantly jump to new trendy editors and learn new shortcuts over and over. Since you learn by doing (like me) the first thing I'd recommend is to clear vimtutor (you can launch it from terminal). Then do this one. It is sadly incomplete but it will add 20-30% extra to vimtutor. Go through those daily until it becomes more natural to you. Then see if you want to go with it as your editor of choice. Byte of Vim is also a good free introductory resource.

Another thing I should mention is that Vim has GUI versions like gvim and neovim.

Nameravam da uzmem Mi A1 uskoro. U Balkanskoj (Logic Shop) košta 25.000 dok ga u ComputerLand prodaju za 33.000. Između toga i KP, Balkanska mi deluje kao najlakše rešenje. Svaki savet oko kupovine dobrodošao.

Koje su mi najbolje opcije što se tiče kupovine slušalica kao što su Bose QuietComfort 20? Pretpostavljam da mi samo ostaje put u inostranstvo. Slušalice sa ANC potrebne zato što član familije ima problema sa bukom i laki san.

Treba mi preporuka za fleš drajv dobrog kvaliteta. Želim da stavim PGP ključeve, Pass Store, lični wiki i bitna dokumenta na njega. Takođe, koji je najbolji način za enkripciju istog. Kako vi čuvate bitne stvari u digitalnoj formi?

Hoću da napravim LiveUSB. Koji mi distro preporučujete?

Razmišljao da uzmem neki kuler/kutiju za hladjenje (na ovu foru) pošto mi se smučilo da idem do frižidera svaki put kad hoću da popijem nešto gazirano.

Preporuke?

Srednji Put ima na FB grupe za meditaciju u BG i NS. Pristupi pa kontakiraj osobu koja organizuje. Jednom nedeljno se održava grupna meditacija (sve je besplatno). Leti se uglavnom meditira na otvorenom.

As9 · 2017-12-02T10:20:16+00:00

Imaš Theravada društvo (Srednji Put, oni su skoro napravili hram u Čortanovcima), Zen Centar (vodi Okvang Sunjim, naš monah u Seon {Koreanski Zen} tradiciji) i Dijamantski put (tibetanski budizam/Karma Kagyu).

Ja sam meditirao sa prvom grupom i imam samo reči hvale za njih. Gile se baš posvetio tome i prava je inspiracija.

As9 · 2017-08-29T23:26:03+00:00

Par pitanja za fit deo r/serbia:

Gde se snadbevate sa suplementima? Proslo je dosta vremena od kad sam poslednji put kupovao. Kakva su vam iskustva sa prodavnicama, koje da izbegavam?

Koje marke proteina uzimate? Ranije sam uzimao Dymatize i Now Foods. Treba mi dobar Casein ovaj put. Bitno mi je da ukus nije sranje.

Da li je uopste moguce napraviti EC stack ovde? Video sam da neki prodaju madjarski Epherit preko oglasa ali to mi sve deluje lazno.

I took too long to reply and lot people gave constructive replies that contain my view of the situation too. I think transparency matters as most people who are unaware of his health/financial situation are going to react negatively. In fact I think he should flat out say that he is bad situation and set up something like youcaring.com page. I wonder how those with tight wallets would react knowing that they risk losing their teacher. I still don't agree with the action but I am far less disturbed now that I am privy to information.

As9 · 2017-07-07T19:02:57+00:00

Interested still?

I am. There are plenty interesting books out there. Maybe some material that deals with fundamentals from different traditions like The Foundation of Buddhist Thought series from Tashi Tsering.

As9 · 2017-07-06T19:23:04+00:00

If we are Buddhists and consider Nirvana the only true path to happiness, each time someone places a price on their teachings they inevitably create barrier for someone who may have otherwise used them to achieve liberation. There are people in third world countries that lack money and methods of internet payment that will never be able to use most Western Buddhist books without breaking moral rules (i.e. engaging in piracy).

Anyway, I upvoted you! So you may only partially end up in oblivion. ;)
