But how do you choose which resources (books, articles, courses..) to include? Is it performed algorithmically or by hand? I was working on the similar project (dependency trees for concepts) and the biggest roadblock I faced was the addition of new resources, since it is laborious, doesn't scale well and is pretty subjective.

How did you assemble database of these books?

It depends on how you define `insightful`

If I just want to satiate my curiosity and have free time I watch Vsauce. Occasionally I watch Numberphile, 3Blue1Brown & Computerphile, but these are more math/CS related. Enjoy!

Haven't heard about spacy, been struggling with Stanford's NER for a few days. Looks great, will check it out. Thanks!

That's interesting. Which labels were you assigning to them?

I was thinking about querying Google Books API to check if NNPs are book titles/authors, however, as you mentioned, NER produces a lot of entities. Luckily, there is Open Library dump[0] which has around 16 million book titles (IIRC) with some metadata.

I am aware of this website. Initially, I thought to do the same, extract all links from comments and then figure out which ones are "book-related". However, after browsing several threads I noticed that lots of book recommendations are in plain text.

Project: A website containing programming projects accompanied by explanations, unit tests and etc.. (a la tutorials) to help beginners to get off the ground quickly.

Audience: It is aimed at learners who already know the syntax of a language, but are unsure/unable to start a project of their own.

More info: I have written more about it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/62r1wr/i_...

Because it is elegant.

I love this one: http://david.li/paint/

This is pretty neat. I have been lurking around this site and stumbled upon "prerequisite tree"s[0]. Is it possible to generate this kind of "prerequisite tree" programmatically?

But what about heated discussions that stay on the front page for some time (I suppose they are fueled by the discussion itself, rather than the piece of content, which started it)?

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

Thank you!

check out this playlist[0]. This guy provides intuition behind major LA concepts. Have fun! :) [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjBOesZCoqc&list=PLZHQObOWTQ...

Linear Algebra. It's fun!

Languages (or language families) that are influenced by Arabic (Turkic family[0], for example) `interpret` Alexander as such, albeit with slight modifications (Iskender[TR], İsgəndər[AZ] and so on). If you listen to the pronunciation[1] of Alexander in Arabic you could witness that this is indeed the case.

Check out Flask[0], which is a microframework for Python. Pretty easy to start with plus you will be learning Python down the road. [0] http://flask.pocoo.org/

So, seems like matrix exponentiation is faster than computing eigenvalues / eigenvectors in practice? Take a look: http://mathoverflow.net/questions/62904/complexity-of-eigenv...
