If you are looking at learning CS in a more holistic manner, there's Path to a free self-taught education in Computer Science!. It's a list of courses, categorized by topics, which are exactly what a CS undergraduate would learn. It might feel daunting at first, but you can pick any interesting topic and dive in.

I especially recommend CS50P for beginners.

Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.

Since they are still rolling out updates, here's hope that the Feedback Loop bug can be fixed…anytime…in the not so distant future.

What happened to their defensive prayers?

Black Panther the movie actually borrowed some art elements from Afrofuturism. Although it's not very pronounced.

The paper only says it's a collaboration. It's pretty large scale, so the opportunity might be rare. There's a chance that (the same or other) researchers will follow up and experiment in more schools.

The interviews revealed that data scientists sometimes get distracted by the latest developments in AI and implement them in their projects without looking at the value that it will deliver.

At least part of this is due to resume-oriented development.

Sorry I wasn't being clear. AC is used for connecting within areas of densely populated cities, e.g. British National Grid. If we are talking about really long distances (> hundreds of kilometers), HVDC is indeed preferred.

I was talking about a trend of some factories replacing AC from power grids (possibility generated in nearby cities) with DC from solar panels on their rooftops. So it's a long distance compared to that.

Power grids would mean long distance power transmission, so AC has an advantage. If the point of consumption is near the point of PV generation, DC can and is already being used.

I know factories with solar panels on their rooftops to cut down power bills and instead of converting to high voltage AC, a custom-built DC power system is used.

What happened to the beeping anti-stalking feature?

So you're working at E-corp and they want to sign you up for the F-society?
