So I've tried twice to watch the first Dune movie, and like with LOTR I just can't get into it! I don't know why, lol, it seems like a great story though! Are the books pretty good, I'm thinking perhaps going that route instead?

Totally ignored by western media, some of the largest protests in Hungary's history just occurred. The Russian-backed Orban regime has a total media blackout on it for a reason.
Yesterday, we held what was perhaps the largest political event in Hungary’s history — resolute yet peaceful and joyful. People came from all over the world and from every Hungarian town and village to stand up for a truly free, humane, and functioning Hungary!
Did Adobe happen to rewrite Acrobat Reader as an Electron app? The performance is atrocious on Windows 10. Been using it for years, and after a recent reinstall, even resizing the window almost causes freezes.
This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders Worth the watch
Why are people still separating the user name/pass inputs on websites? You're killing my autofill experience for nothing, come on!! Lol

Huge thank you to @coursera @DeepLearningAI Sean Barnes (& all others) for this Professional Certificate. Each of the 5 courses was tough, but I'm so glad I stuck with it! You've reinforced my love of Math/Stats and analytics. Time to start working on a portfolio!

Awesome resources as always!
Weekend reading for all you ambitious folks. 🔥 Learn how to architect a database [Free full-length book on SQL and relational DBMS] Here are this week's five freeCodeCamp resources that are worth your time: 1. freeCodeCamp just published this full length book on how to architect a database using SQL and relational database management systems. This book is aimed at beginners, and includes a Jupyter Notebook you can interact with as you follow along. It will teach you Postgres and a bit of SQL. Then you'll learn how to design and maintain efficient, secure databases that support complex data-driven apps. (Full length book): freecodecamp.org/news/how-to… 2. freeCodeCamp also published this comprehensive data science course on Time Series Forecasting with Python. You'll learn about key Time Series components like trend, seasonality, and residuals. You'll start by building some baseline models. Then you'll dive into Cross-Validation, Exogenous Features, Prediction Interval Generation, and more. (2 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/learn-… 3. On this week's freeCodeCamp podcast, I interview Edidiong Asikpo about her journey from medical school into software engineering. She talks about Nigeria's tech scene, how to break into tech when you live outside the Silicon Valley ecosystem, and how she transitioned from mobile app development to DevOps. Tons of actionable tips here. (1 hour watch or listen in your favorite podcast app): freecodecamp.org/news/abando… 4. freeCodeCamp also published this in-depth guide to passing the Google Cloud Associate Engineer certification exam. Andrew Brown will teach you about Infrastructure as Code, Serverless, Google Kubernetes Engine, data storage solutions, and more. If you're interested in a career in DevOps, take a gander.

This course uses the latest version of Next.js – version 15. It will teach you all about Static Site Generation, Server-Side Rendering, Incremental Static Regeneration, and other important concepts. (2 hour YouTube course): freecodecamp.org/news/learn-… These are just some of the open source learning resources that the freeCodeCamp community published this week. Our core curriculum is also under heavy development. We're launching new certifications in the coming months. You can help us accelerate open source education. Start supporting our charity and our mission directly: freecodecamp.org/donate Quote of the Week: “To this day, I remember when my first open source pull request got merged. It was one of the best days of my life. I was so, so happy. I couldn't believe that a code contribution that I made was now part of an application used by thousands of people.” — Software Engineer @Didicodes on this week's freeCodeCamp podcast Until next week, happy coding.

You may be old but, are you this old?
Trying to run an LLM locally, "PyTorch no longer supports this GPU because it is too old." That's age discrimination right? Lol #GPURights
