Even some more renowned universities do that too. Sometimes if a course is being taught poorly I can go look up slides from like Stanford or something.
I think the higher level courses simply require too much basic knowledge to understand anyway, so putting it out there will allow people in similar level to help out each other, but people who don’t have the basics will still not understand.

Oh I actually linked the wrong course. That one was for intro to OS. This here is the networking one: github.com/henryhxu/CSCI4430

Idk if this is specific to computer science or engineering, but the higher level CS courses I’ve taken basically stop caring. Most of them even make the lecture slides available for the general public. You can just access it, like my networking course just throws the slides to GitHub.

People are downvoting because they can’t read Chinese. This comment is hilarious and 99% sarcastic.
“Hello, comrade Xiao Lin from Xiaomi! I saw your [friend] request on Roblox, but I don’t think it’s satisfying. Therefore, I’ve sent you a counter-proposal on Club Penguin. Please take a look as soon as you are able to. Your avatar is as handsome as comrade Xi Jinping. I look forward to our collaboration.”

It’s for messaging. I put Matrix and Discord over there. Chat and OBS also goes there when I stream.
So all I do is occasionally look over at it. It’s not really a problem for my neck.

My bed is right behind this picture and I sometimes lie down and turn right to look at the main monitor. Turning left-up balances it.

- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 5 months ago:
Ayyy fellow Canto speaker on the same boat
I don’t really watch anime but I want to read Japanese text. I’m currently 2 months in following the Tofugu guide. I spent about a week on memorizing Hiragana and Katakana, and have been grinding Kanjis and vocabularies on Anki since then. At some point I also read the Japanese sentence structure guide from 8020japanese out of curiosity.
Since I’m a native Cantonese speaker, learning Kanji is rather trivial, so I mostly spend my time learning both Onyomi (Chinese pronunciation) and Kunyomi (Japanese pronunciation).
I am at a point where I can read some simple sentences and guess some words base on Kanji (for example はじめる means “start” on my Japanese Wii), but I definitely still have a long way to go before I can do anything fluent. If you watch a decent amount of anime, chances are you can probably learn faster than me.

Or just use GitHub Gist or a repository. I have been uploading my arts to a repo for backup for a while now
- Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance? 6 months ago:
I think it depends more on the intention of the murder. If the killer specifically targets a person, that’s assassination. Otherwise, it’s homicide? Maybe when it’s a specific group of people it can be called genocide instead
