Ok, bad at getting jokes

I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn’t change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

Isn’t one of the Gates kids doing some educational reform?

ilinamorato ,

I don’t think the problem is the availability, it’s probably the adoption. But I’m not in higher ed.

someguy3 ,

I see some profs trying to choose good books, but they don’t seem to be able. But I’m also not in higher ed.

funkycarrot ,

Exactly. We already have stuff like OpenStax. Great content, but comparatively little adoption by faculties.

I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.

I got slightly heated myself…

The most funny thing about this is when Google AI will pick this as the true answer to the creation of Dune

I preferred Yahoo Messenger to Windows solely due to the ROTFLMAO emoji… it kicked ass. Made me giggle every time I used it.

You missed out on hella custom emoticons. Had hundreds of "lol"s

Edit: and nudges lol

What’s it called when you backport modern features to retro systems like this mockup? I swear there’s a word for this…

Ok...someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.

I think you’re looking for “anachronism”: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists.

I bought some textbooks for university.

Ended up not using most of them.

Most computers science students are used to computers, internet and StackOverflow.

Not paper.

lost_faith ,

Here is a PDF of the book you need for this course, you may not share it and the file will self destruct the day after finals. Thanks for the $150

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

The younger teachers were doing something similar to this. Teachers have to follow certain sets of rules to not get fired.

It was mostly the oldest, gray-haired teachers that were requiring textbooks. Stuck in their old ways.

lost_faith ,

At least you OWN the text book and can reference it years later. That PDF scam was a real piss off

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

That might work in other domains other than computer sciences.

But from my experience, nobody cared about books and papers in computer science. Everyone is more comfortable with technology.

You can easily Google or find things on the internet.

lhamil64 ,

The professor that taught my algorithms & data structures course said if we were going to keep one book it should be the one for that course. I followed that advice and it’s the one textbook I still have. It’s been 8 years since graduation and I haven’t opened it once. I tend to just read Wikipedia if I need to understand a particular algorithm or data structure.

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly lol. If I were you, I’d try to sell it.

If it’s still relevant, you could also give it to younger students.

lengau ,

The best investment I made in textbooks was the class that wanted a Schaum’s Outline book, $15 brand new and still a book I use for occasional linear algebra reference.

slimarev92 ,

There’s nothing wrong with paper books.

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

I never said there’s something wrong with paper books.

I’m even reading one right now. Lord of Rings paper version.

But for computer science students textbooks, it’s heavy, inconvenient and spacey.

The internet or even PDFs are better.

Why?

It’s easier to do research, CTRL+F and copy/paste some programming code.

slimarev92 ,

If you’re copy pasting code you’re not learning a whole lot.

thefrankring ,
@thefrankring@lemmy.world avatar

You’re clearly not a programmer lol

slimarev92 , (edited )

Copy pasting code is THE WORST way to learn how to program.

lightnegative ,

I found this in my first and second year so I stopped buying them.

Half the time it was just “recommended reading” and the book wasn’t even used in class.

Yep, not gonna shell out $120 per book for “recommend reading”

BruceLee ,

Don’t you have university library? I did most of the recommend readings through my studies and found them all there (excepted for one). Ended up being a two reference books which prove themselves to be worth it.

Textbooks that are good references are great. Textbooks that are just another class and withhold the answers are garbage.
