skill tree

structure could be something like a directed acyclic graph (a DAG) in order to hard-wire dependencies*. Contributors need to be able to add a) learning resources and b) appropriate project/s which assume ONLY previous projects done at each node.

Question: Should the resources on a given node be the resources to get TO or FROM that node? In other words, how to make plain what's needed for next step?

Classical Engineering (mechanical, electrical), Programming (command line [web, front end, backend, systems/SRE])

Web front-end for contributors - at the very least, a ratings system for resources. This will trend heavily toward the bottom of the tree.

Bigger idea is for an interactive webapp with achievements, exams, and probably some games between, or as part of a large game.

oh gosh
These instructions are for the installation of Morroblivion, which is essentially a giant patch
onto Oblivion which pulls its data from Morrowind, transmogrifies it, and lays it over top of the
familiar & newer Oblivion engine. Because the data comes from Morrowind and is injected into
Oblivion, you must own both games, and all expansions. These are pretty cheap on Steam, especially
during the holiday sale, and the only versions they sell are GOTY & include all expansions/DLC.
These were specifically created and tested for Windows 10 and Steam.
1. Set Steam to install games in a different location, outside C:\Program Files(x86), I chose C:\games\

win10 to kali 2.0 to nothing to win8.1
1. Figuring out how to install Kali
- need bootloader update from my manufr which permits a [Legacy] mode in addition to UEFI.
- Made bootable USB with unetbootin.
- Struggled with unetbootin for a long time. Finally turned on a --verbose flag. It installed, a little old-school style, but there it was!
2. Playing with Kali
3. Getting back into Windows - uh oh
- Then I wanted to add Windows 10 to GRUB, so that I could choose to load it. I knew the files were still there, I played a few mp3s that were on that drive.
- GRUB2 documentation is... hard to parse. As far as I could tell it wanted a crapload of bash. I went looking for windows dual booting examples for the grub.d files and the grub.cnf file. None were terribly satisfactory so I could not get a facsimile up and running
4. Partition magic and systems - dd and gparted
- Then I thought that if I try to reinstall Kali, maybe I could reinstall it "correctly" and get GRUB on the machine. Many reintalls ensued (learned to edit unetbootin install
I really want a service where you can enter in 2 wikipedia pages and
it will tell you how they relate. It'd be especially cool if someone
else made it, so I'm writing up how I think it might be done in
Python.
Due to the nature of the queries you want to do (how does x relate to
y), I think this should end up in a graph database. In this graph
database, every page is a node. Links between pages are directed edges
in the graph, annotated with the paragraph of text they're linked
from.
