Greywolfe1982 comments on Back To School Megathread! Refonte de mon portfolio : positionnement et identité Depuis le 22 juin, mon nouveau site est en ligne ! GLOIRE ! Ce site, c'est le résultat d'environ un an et demi de travail : c'est très long, surtout quand vous êtes seules aux manettes et que vous ne pouvez partager ce fardeau avec personne (à part envoyer des tweets désespérés avec le hashtag #PortfolioOfDoom, et susciter la compassion de vos followers). Avec le recul, je ne sais pas comment j'ai réussi à ne pas craquer nerveusement (parce que coder le matin avant d'aller bosser, coder le soir en rentrant du boulot, cinq jours sur sept, plus coder le samedi et le dimanche, comment dire : ça use) et à ne pas me lasser visuellement. Maintenant que tout ça est terminé, j'ai envie de vous expliquer cette refonte de portfolio, afin de vous expliquer pourquoi ça m'a pris autant de temps, de vous dévoiler les secrets de fabrication mais aussi de garder une trace de tout ce travail pour quand j'aurai à nouveau envie de refaire mon site… si cela arrive un jour ! Voilà donc le programme :

Wikipedia has all but obliterated the need for a hard copy of any information. The Internet has changed the face of education and the new generation are going through school with an unprecedented amount of information at their fingertips. There are so many reasons NOT to study such as: Price, Location and Time. No matter what you want to learn, there will be a source on the internet. 1. A degree education isn’t available to everyone for many reasons. Coursera: Coursera has partnered with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. 2. The Khan academy was started by donations and is now significantly backed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Google (See this video featuring Bill Gates). 3. 4.

sleepyti.me bedtime calculator The Internet map The map of the Internet Like any other map, The Internet map is a scheme displaying objects’ relative position; but unlike real maps (e.g. the map of the Earth) or virtual maps (e.g. the map of Mordor), the objects shown on it are not aligned on a surface. Mathematically speaking, The Internet map is a bi-dimensional presentation of links between websites on the Internet. Every site is a circle on the map, and its size is determined by website traffic, the larger the amount of traffic, the bigger the circle. Users’ switching between websites forms links, and the stronger the link, the closer the websites tend to arrange themselves to each other. Charges and springs To draw an analogy from classical physics, one may say that websites are electrically charged bodies, while links between them are springs. Also, an analogy can be drawn from quantum physics. Anyway, the real algorithm of plotting The Internet map is quite far from the analogies given above. Semantic web The Internet Phenomenon

The Benefits of a Classical Education Since the end of the Second World War, and especially since the mid-1960s, America has been deluged with seemingly endless stories of the failure of its educational system. Testing reveals that there exists a significant percentage of high-school graduates who cannot identify the Pacific Ocean on an unlabeled map of the world, who do not know that Abraham Lincoln served as president of the United States after George Washington, who confuse the American Civil War with World War I, and who believe that Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in the 18th century, which examples are typical of the horror stories repeated year after year. Ever fewer young people, even those who have graduated from colleges and universities, are properly able to express themselves verbally or in writing. In response, liberal educators have come up with various nostrums that were supposed to turn things around by means of revolutionary new teaching methods. Not surprisingly, they have all failed.
