Just a suggestion: Why not add a Discord link too ?


I think Slack is better suited for information oriented conversation


Why?


Maybe because there are no threads in discord. If you want to reply to someone on discord you can only use 'cite' or @. And if there alot of people in a channel its hard to follow a discussion.


Isn't it possible to send them a DM?


And then nobody else benefits from the discussion


Thanks for pointing out these Reddit pages. I wasn't aware of these


Thanks for sharing. What is the background of the author ? Not very clear from the /About page


Thanks for the feedback, will try to make the about page clearer in the future.

My background is Robotics (studied Mechatronics on university). Currently mostly focusing on software part of robotics through Robot Operating System. I work as a robotics consultant/contractor/freelancer.

Hope that clears it a bit :)


Autodesk's actions are most probably a response to feeling the heat from stable, multi-faceted & open source Modelling, Animation and Sculpting tool, Blender which is completely free, receiving considerable attention from industry recently (after v2.8)


Wow, looks useful online extension of Graphviz.. Thanks for sharing :)


Dear pattern lovers, you're witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime event — V8 v8


Thanks a lot for pointing to these lectures ! Sometimes even freely available quality material doesn't serve its intended purpose due to lack of awareness among those who want/need it


Wow... your comment is infact more useful pearl of wisdom for getting the intuition of Eigen-values/vectors. Can you suggest some book/reference that best conveys this intuition ? Somehow, Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra does put me to sleep :/


Linear algebra done right by Sheldon axler

Linear algebra that focuses on matrices of numbers is missing the point and a proper numerical linear algebra class will teach them better anyway


I would recommend Down with Determinants! instead. Same author, and was the inspiration for that textbook.

https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/awards/Axler-For...

As a graduate student at the time, it opened my eyes about a whole bunch of theorems that I thought I already knew. And it is a lot more approachable than a textbook.

It won an award for the best piece of expository writing on mathematics in 1996. It was a deserved win. :-)


I recommend the Linear Algebra series of YouTube videos by 3blue1brown.


That's not called stealing then, is it ? Have you no sense!...


At least one of us will need to check their sarcasm detectors.


Amazing! didn't think I could get so hooked up to a stereogram renderer.... I'd suggest adding other colorful background variations, apart from random dots, as well. Thanks for sharing !
