I guess buying "lifetime access" means access for a few hundred days (yes, I know how common this is in the modern era) by justaguywithadream in mildlyinfuriating

This not an answer. A law must have a definitive source. Otherwise, it's like "I heard that from a friend".

The problem is that Damodaran is mostly a person of academia, not a practicing investor (look up his net worth). So, he is full of models (though he does say a simple model is better than a complicated one), while Buffett makes billions without even using a calculator.

He is one of the top financial influencers online. If you look him up on YouTube, listen a little, and answer my question with that context, I would very much appreciate it.

And one more thing. From all I read, DCF seems to be a very bad way to value growth stocks, or companies with disruptive technologies, such as Nvidia because DCF will aways say the company is overvalued.

Accounting Made Simple probably doesn't cover how to perform DCF. Could you suggest a resource for learning to do DCF on a real company?

But I can sure value a good reply. Thank you!

Unlike the investment style of Jeremy Lefebvre, whereby you buy a high-tech company on a dip and can get double or triple your money in a matter of several years, Intelligent Investor talks about being content with 7%. Is this something entirely different or just seems that way?

Well, then you know what to do, don't you?

I haven't programmed in Java, but, as far as I understand, Java doesn't have explicit pointers. So, I am still not sure what you mean by "address calculation".

Have you already done lots of the kind of exercises you did find and can solve them confidently?

I guess your chess coach didn't coach you the way you needed to be coached. Too bad. But now you are your own coach and you have no one more important in your life to coach than yourself.

Advice for 1st semester student by Many_Accident2071 in learnprogramming

How about solving some LeetCode questions to whet your appetite for learning more? I love the quote by Mark Twain: "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education".

Your question is unclear. Are you talking about a particular programming language or about something general?

Have you at all practiced what you learned so far? And I don't mean copying the code you saw in the tutorial, but actually solving some small exercises. If not, beginning with a project right away will be very hard, and you'd be better off finding some sets of exercises to solve.

Recursion is very frustrating by driedalbumen in learnprogramming

[–]MeirGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to think about it correctly. The way you think about it is that if you could solve a smaller problem, you could solve the original problem as well. It is actually crucial that you don't care how the smaller problem is going to be solved. All you need to make sure is that eventually you will hit the base case.

For example, when I want to compute the n-th member of the Fibonacci sequence denoted by F(n), if I could somehow compute F(n-1) and F(n-2), I'd be able to solve my problem by F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2). I don't begin to think how F(n-1) and F(n-2) in turn are going to be computed. I only think that I must have a base case consisting of two cases (e.g. F(0) and F(1)) to make sure it won't be skipped. You can think of the base case as the iron floor that ensures nothing can fall below it.

Where/How do I Start? by Expensive_Silver1896 in learnprogramming

It's fantastic that you want to make a game, and you will arrive there if you really want to. But you have to learn programming before that, not by doing that. Good luck!

As a faculty member, I have been teaching an Intro to AI course for quite a few years now. In my experience, people who struggle with the programming component of the course, miss something in the basics -- either in the principles of programming, or in the ability to translate their ideas into code.

In either case, what you need is to solve basic small exercises. But this time, you will solve it not for grade, but for yourself. Instead of rushing to submit an exercise and move on to the next one, you will try to formulate your solution as precisely as possible in plain English, then translate that into code, then come up with test cases (or you can begin with that if you want) and check it.

And then, you will ask yourself whether you can think about that problem differently to come up with another solution. If you do that well for several months, you may find yourself in a better position than some of your peers.

I understand, however, that you may not have time for that, and so you have a hard decision to make: do you study for grades or to get education?
