Free Course Recommendation: The Medieval Icelandic Sagas by the University of Iceland on edX (www.edx.org)
 

To get started with reading the sagas I can recommend the free course on edX. It gives an introduction into the history of the icelandic sagas and introduces a lot of primary and secondary sources. I took the course a year ago and it helped tremendously.

Nice! Thanks everyone. I'll be trying the redirector addon the next few days. Noticed something cool. On this post we've got interaction from at least 4 different federated lemmys

  • feddit.de
  • lemmy.ml
  • kbin.social
  • beehaw.org

I quite like this new world.

Trying hard! What I'd need is a browser extension (Firefox) that just sends me to the fediverse as soon as I type "old.reddit.com" into the address bar to kill some time. Old habits die hard.

Always knew I was destined for hell.

  • Professionally I mostly work with C (no ++) for bare metal micro-controllers. Basically I'm using it to tie together HW peripherals with some communication library.
  • Python is my one-size fit's all tool for anything that has an OS. Testing, scripting, interfacing, it does it all.
  • I also used to work a bit with Erlang, which is my personal favourite programming language for its pure elegance and resilience.
