futurecoder VS Yacy

I have recently found a neat new (to me) resource for learning Python. It's called futurecoder and you can find it at https://futurecoder.io.

If you’re interested in learning Python, i’ve been messing around with this site today and it’s been pretty cool! link

here's how I started my journey (SWE at aerospace now)

1.https://futurecoder.io/

futurecoder — interactive, includes integrated debuggers, enhanced tracebacks, hints for exercises and more

I really enjoyed https://futurecoder.io when starting. It makes diving deeper into udemy courses very easy, and helps to actually read and understand code.

As for courses, there are many great, free Python courses on YouTube, but I recommend this Harvard CS50 Intro to Programming with Python course. Or, if you are looking for something a bit more interactive, check out futurecoder.io. I just discovered it recently, and it is great (completely free, as well).

https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/ https://futurecoder.io/ https://roadmap.sh/python https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/webprogramming/Python1\_Basics.html#zz-1.

I believe your application needed to be "complete" in order to be eligible. Good luck next time! There's also lots of other resources for learning python like Coursera's programming for everybody or http://futurecoder.io

It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.

In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.

Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.

It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).

> Now I just need some kind of open source search engine to run on it ...

Here you go: https://yacy.net

I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.

Admarus is similar as Yacy but aims to be distributed where Yacy is federated. Both are made for the web

You should check out https://yacy.net: a global, P2P web search engine, where each peer can build and share its own index, etc.

I also have an instance of Yacy installed, which I use to index the entire system, giving me my own private, internal search engine.
