00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:05,631
Hello! I hope you can hear me. I don't

2
00:00:05,631 --> 00:00:08,714
know if anybody's there. I hope I will see

3
00:00:08,714 --> 00:00:10,860
some chat messages coming through.

4
00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:14,476
This is not an episode of the 
Coding Train.

5
00:00:14,531 --> 00:00:16,861
Sorry, I am typing my password on 
this other computer over here.

6
00:00:19,324 --> 00:00:20,884
Do I have to press this to see the chat

7
00:00:20,884 --> 00:00:21,734
let me see.

8
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:23,849
um no I see the messages there

9
00:00:23,849 --> 00:00:27,997
'Oh hey, I'm alive. Hi! :)'

10
00:00:27,997 --> 00:00:29,965
So I wanted to do a video to say 'Hello'.

11
00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:31,965
I'm sorry that it's ben about two weeks

12
00:00:32,109 --> 00:00:34,193
since I've actually done a video.

13
00:00:34,193 --> 00:00:35,611
I don't have a plan for this. I should

14
00:00:35,611 --> 00:00:36,843
have made a list of all the things to

15
00:00:36,843 --> 00:00:39,854
talk about. 'Hello Boston. Hi hi hi hi hi'

16
00:00:39,854 --> 00:00:41,597
See so many wonderful chat messages. I

17
00:00:41,597 --> 00:00:43,032
can't believe there are already 202 people

18
00:00:43,032 --> 00:00:46,952
here. So if you didn't see Twitter or

19
00:00:46,952 --> 00:00:48,405
where ever else I might've posted this.

20
00:00:48,739 --> 00:00:51,881
I unfortunately was in a bicycle accident.

21
00:00:52,375 --> 00:00:55,029
I was the on riding the bicycle. The

22
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:57,308
bicycle accident was with the street and

23
00:00:57,308 --> 00:01:02,016
mostly my elbow. And I'm trying to figure

24
00:01:02,016 --> 00:01:03,506
out how to look at you. Where's the

25
00:01:03,695 --> 00:01:05,226
camera? If I look over there, that's me

26
00:01:05,226 --> 00:01:07,023
looking at you. Yes that's the camera.

27
00:01:07,951 --> 00:01:12,327
So this happened almost a week and a half

28
00:01:12,327 --> 00:01:17,473
ago, and just to let you know. This arm is

29
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:20,559
pretty much broken, mostly in the elbow is

30
00:01:20,559 --> 00:01:23,929
the major area of destruction. This wrist

31
00:01:26,189 --> 00:01:27,400
is also broken. It's possible that this

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,691
wrist is broken, but it's pretty

33
00:01:29,626 --> 00:01:32,072
stabilised and will probably heal anyway
if it is.

34
00:01:33,854 --> 00:01:39,219
I had surgery on the elbow to get it put

35
00:01:39,219 --> 00:01:40,909
back together; there is now some metal in

36
00:01:40,909 --> 00:01:42,919
my arm. I believe, I might've been in a

37
00:01:42,919 --> 00:01:45,033
fog of the daze, but I think the surgeon

38
00:01:45,033 --> 00:01:46,273
said they put some artificial bone that's

39
00:01:46,438 --> 00:01:51,198
made out of coral in my arm. And so I'm

40
00:01:51,577 --> 00:01:53,388
wondering if the universe is trying to

41
00:01:53,427 --> 00:01:55,033
tell me something about machine learning.

42
00:01:55,283 --> 00:01:56,243
First of all, I know this is totally

43
00:01:56,455 --> 00:01:58,345
eschew. I will try to get a better setup

44
00:01:58,564 --> 00:02:00,374
to do videos, streaming from my home.

45
00:02:00,781 --> 00:02:02,574
I'm at my home now.

46
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,023
I think I've done one live stream from a

47
00:02:05,294 --> 00:02:06,393
park and everything else has been from my

48
00:02:06,481 --> 00:02:11,464
studio. I don't know if you guys remember,

49
00:02:11,594 --> 00:02:15,781
but the first time that I started to do a

50
00:02:16,158 --> 00:02:19,723
video about machine learning. I said,

51
00:02:20,424 --> 00:02:23,247
"Something, something, machine learning."

52
00:02:23,592 --> 00:02:26,162
and the fire alarm went off. Then I just

53
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:28,478
got started with my machine learning

54
00:02:28,614 --> 00:02:32,927
videos and once I got started with that, I

55
00:02:33,167 --> 00:02:36,306
just went to one day of the O'Reilly

56
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:39,248
Artificial Intelligence Conference, which

57
00:02:39,277 --> 00:02:41,242
was really extraordinary. I went to this

58
00:02:41,242 --> 00:02:43,784
wonderful Reinforcement Learning workshop

59
00:02:43,784 --> 00:02:46,198
and I'm forgetting the fella's name who

60
00:02:46,198 --> 00:02:48,640
ran the workshop. But anyway, then right

61
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,673
after that workshop, as I was riding a

62
00:02:50,754 --> 00:02:52,706
bike to go to a dinner, that's when I had

63
00:02:52,779 --> 00:02:55,648
the accident. If you're joining late you

64
00:02:55,791 --> 00:02:57,615
can see I have some injuries here.

65
00:02:57,686 --> 00:03:00,821
Uhm ... So ... Uhhhhhhh ..

66
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:04,665
Anyway, so I don't know what the universe

67
00:03:04,829 --> 00:03:09,793
is trying to tell about this coding machine

68
00:03:09,793 --> 00:03:12,062
stuff, but I will get better. I was

69
00:03:12,062 --> 00:03:13,312
wearing a helmet. The first thing I

70
00:03:13,228 --> 00:03:14,739
should've said at the very beginning of

71
00:03:14,739 --> 00:03:16,314
this video is 'Please wear your helmet'.

72
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:19,215
My whole lip was split, my tooth is messed

73
00:03:19,215 --> 00:03:22,996
up, these glasses were totally broken.

74
00:03:23,909 --> 00:03:25,847
I should go get my helmet. Hold on a

75
00:03:25,898 --> 00:03:27,768
second, I'm going to get my helmet to show

76
00:03:27,974 --> 00:03:28,224
you the scratches. You can look at this

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
beautiful poster; this is my
favourite poster. It's a

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
poster of every single bird 
of North America,

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the complete collection which. tore my 
apartment Talk amongst

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
yourselves, I'm going to get my helmet.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here's a unicorn for you to look at. Oh,

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can't see the unicorn. Here. There you

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
go. Look at the unicorn while I go get my

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
helmet. I should've worn headphones.

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Coming back now with the helmet. 
Ok.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here's the helmet. Let's see if we can

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
find the part that's all scratched up. It

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
actually doesn't look like much. I don't

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know if this will come through.

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't know if you can see those

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
scratches and scrapes on the side of the

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
helmet. And that that is the side that hit

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the ground. I assume.

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I did not lose consciousness. I did have

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a head CT scan which was negative.

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And yes, CellOfTheBride in the chat is

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
saying 'Get a new helmet'.

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So if you didn't know this, which I did

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know, helmets are only good for one crash.

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Kind of like car seats, same thing for

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kid's car seats.

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, sorry for everybody who's bored by

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this. So I need to get a new helmet.

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But to be honest with you, I think it

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
might be a while before I ride a bicycle

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
again, certainly in the city. Yeah.

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do need to shave. It's going to be a

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while before I shave. I did get the

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
glasses fixed which was I was talking

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about. Some people are asking a bit more

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about the accident.

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not really a great story to this, but

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I guess I will tell it since people are

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
interested.

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was riding in Midtown, which I don't

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
usually do, I kind of only ever ride along

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the West-Side Highway bike path because

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm a little bit afraid of riding in the

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
city. Which makes sense.

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was riding in Midtown and there was a

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
street where the bike lane had a lip.

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like the bike lane was not in the same

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
level as the street and I went out of the

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
bike lane down the lip to go around

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something. I think there was a car parked

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there. It kind of happened sort of fast, so

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't totally remember. And then,

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when I turned to back in the bike lane

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kind of avoiding traffic and kind of going
quickly. I just wasn't

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
careful and didn't really pay attention.

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think I was never in the bike lane when

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I turned onto the street and that's

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
partially why I didn't notice the lip. I

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was just not in the bike lane because I

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had to go past a car and when I went into

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the bike lane - If I just had stopped and

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
pit walk the bike up. 
So I don't really know

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what happened. I don't really remember.

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think I would say that I just fell

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sideways. I assume my whole right side of

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my body just hit the ground, cause the

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
elbow must've been what hit first and

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shattered. This wrist must've tried to

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
brace myself and my lip was cut and

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
glasses were smashed and this side of the

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
face was also it.

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So anyway, that's the story. And actually

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some nice car stopped to say 'Are you ok?'

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I pulled the bike out the street and got

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to the side and leaned against the post.

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But a very nice man stopped and offered

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to take the bike back, helped me get some

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
tissues out of my backpack for me so I

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
could put those on lip which was bleeding

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quite a bit and helped me on phone to find

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the nearest urgent care which I then

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
walked to. Cause I really actually thought

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
oh I cut my face and I probably bruised

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my arm. I guess I can't go to this dinner

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was gonna go to, oh that will be a nice

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
excuse to not go to the dinner. Then

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
once I got to the urgent care, it was

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quite obvious that my entire - nobody

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wants to see these photos. There was a

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
swelling in my elbow that rivals the size

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of this helmet. It was quite big. We're

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking about a large mango sized swollen

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
elbow.

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyway, all said and done, I'm fine.

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I have to go on hiatus a little bit.

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In terms of the kind of video I typically

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
make. I can not type right now. I don't

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really have use - I mean I have some use

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of this arm. I'm trying to be very

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
minimal about it, because the goal here

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is for this to heal on its own without

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
having to have a second surgery on this

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wrist. I should know more; I have another

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
appointment with a surgeon. Interestingly

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
enough, of course the surgeon started

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking to me about machine learning and

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
using machine learning to, you know,

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
diagnose disease and medically treat it.

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I'm trying to figure out what to do.

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Couple things I'll mention. I'm seeing a

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lot of wonderful messages, messages of

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
support. I'll read through those later.

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Couple things: One is now is a nice time

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for you to support the processing

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
foundation, processingfoundation.org,

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
while I'm on break, if you're looking for

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something to support. If you want to

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
become a patron through my patreon:

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
patreon.com/codingtrain. If someone could

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
post that link in the chat. I'm going to

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
put it on pause while I take a break.

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's going to be at least 4 weeks of

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
losing in making video. You'll still get

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
an invite to the Slack community and

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everything I have been growing around the

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel.

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What else do I want to say?

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do have a couple people who might

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
hopefully work out to do some guest

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
videos. And so, the guest videos -

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, Kurt in the chat saying Connor

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
McDonald is doing a p5.js vision workshop

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in Berlin, that's interesting.

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I could do some live streams from my

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
apartment like I'm doing right now. I

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
had an idea to do some office hours or

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something. But I loathe to create

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
something overly complicated. We have

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
enough stuff to keep up in the air. I

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was also thinking of getting that Random

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Number's book and just live stream all day

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and read. [Please]

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I can definitely do a live stream Q&A.

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm gonna go, sorry this computer just

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
keeps going to sleep. I have a second

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
computer to the side of me here.

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm going to check.

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It doesn't look like there's anything here.

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm looking at the slack channel and see

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if there's anything posted there.

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wanted to mention something about the

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Patreon too. In terms of the Patreon

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
rewards - I can type better than write on

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a whiteboard right now. Unfortunately,

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is my left hand, so if this were my

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right hand I might be able to write, but

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this arm I mostly have it in a sling and

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
completely immobilized. You can see I'm

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
all kind of like still cut up on the hand

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and stuff here. And this arm, I can't

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really use at all.

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So.. Ah! I wanted to mention something

238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about the Patreon rewards. If you decide

239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to join the Patreon, those rewards can

240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
take up to 6 months to a year for me to

241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get to you. I have somebody who helps me

242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with this by mostly shipping them out.

243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know every few months, I have a day to

244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get a bunch of books together and put them

245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in packages. So if people are interested

246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the books, the actual things that are

247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the rewards, then they should just buy

248
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
them directly rather than join the

249
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Patreon, but you will get them.

250
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And also, the actual expense of getting

251
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the book and shipping it, it really costs

252
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as much as someone backing the channel for

253
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
5 to 6 months depending on where you live

254
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
around the world.

255
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyway so that's another reason why I, uh-

256
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you guys hear a lot of noise. I'm

257
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
seeing a lot of those.

258
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ok!

259
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let me try to answer some of these

260
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
questions. 'How soon will you get back to

261
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your regular coding videos?'

262
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I hope to have an update on that at the

263
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
end of next week. So I have an appointment

264
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with the surgeon. They're gonna take off

265
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what's on my arm right now and have

266
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
another look at it and put something else

267
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on it. And hopefully I'll have a better

268
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sense of scheduling then.

269
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Timothy is asking 'Tell me about the

270
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
accident'

271
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This will be archived and I'll leave this

272
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
online and I won't put ads on it or

273
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anything and so you'll be able to watch

274
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that, where I talked about the accident.

275
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My arm really does itch. I'm sorry the

276
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stream is terrible. I thought I had such a

277
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
good Verizon FiOS connection at my house,

278
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but I guess not. I wonder if this iPad is

279
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not so great at it.

280
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do I watch much YouTube? And if so, what

281
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channels?'

282
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't watch much YouTube. I think it's

283
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a old folgy [what?] thing. But I've been

284
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
watching this 3Blue1Brown Calculus videos.

285
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And, Srirodges [sp?] videos and also The

286
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Happy Cats videos, so I guess I do watch

287
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of YouTube.

288
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well great, I'm glad people are saying the

289
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quality is fine.

290
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do know Computerphile; I haven't watched

291
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it very much.

292
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm reading the chat to look for more

293
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
questions. (Slightly amused chuckle)

294
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do I watch Tom Scott's videos?'

295
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've heard the name, but I have not
watched Tom Scott's videos.

296
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Can you do some videos about you and 
history with coding?

297
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I could do that. I could do some some
talking videos.

298
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not really a production value/video 
editing kind of person.

299
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it's just going to be me rambling, kind
of like this. Which I don't know if

300
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anybody really wants to watch.

301
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, FunFunFunction I also like to watch.

302
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I know that he does these great musings
which is just kind of talking.

303
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I feel like they're just tightly 
thought out and planned and edited.

304
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't know if I could do that.

305
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Are you in pain?' Somebody asked.

306
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yes, it's painful, but it's not so bad.
And it's getting much better now

307
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
especially after the surgery. I didn't 
realize the surgery was more difficult to

308
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
recover from than the accident itself.

309
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The accident was just scary and weird and
they wrapped everything up and I was kind

310
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of feeling ok. But once I had the surgery,
I had a lot of soreness and pain in my

311
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right side. I'm definitely going to have 
a lot of physical therapy.

312
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'High-tech games?' (chuckles no)

313
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'How far was it for me to walk to the
Urgent Care?'

314
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think it was probably, if I had to
guess, half a kilometer/quarter of a mile.

315
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I haven't been out much. I live near
Central Park which is lucky.

316
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've been going for walks there which is
pretty nice.

317
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Is my Pink Book written in Java or 
JavaScript?'

318
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of the things that I'm really sad
about is - This month, in a way this is a

319
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lucky time for me. I'm not teaching in 
summer times. - I've had to adjust

320
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
travel plans. I can't do some of my travel
plans. Workwise this is a low-stress time

321
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for me to just relax at home and heal. But
because I have this time period of so much

322
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
extra time on my hands, I was going to
really work on finally finishing up the

323
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
new Chapter 10 and 2nd edition of the 
Nature of Code, the Pink Book.

324
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's going to be difficult for me to do.

325
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If anybody has any ideas for things I can
do or ways that you can help, I'm totally

326
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
open to that.

327
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyway, the Pink Book is written in Java.
All the examples are reported to

328
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
JavaScript, that's the Nature of Code book
and I was planning to have a 2nd Ed. done

329
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
by the end of the summer and I don't know
that might be a little bit [difficult].

330
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Learn ES6'! That's perfect.

331
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I was thinking of doing a video course 
or a reading [on ES6].

332
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is a little ironic that I think I
prefer to learn by reading books than

333
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
watching videos. So if anybody has any
suggestions on -

334
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's hard for me to read a book that I 
have to flip the pages, but I can read on

335
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Kindle really easily.

336
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
- So programming books about creative 
coding, machine learning, ES6, maybe React

337
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I shouldn't do anything that's useful so
I shouldn't learn React.

338
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you guys have recommendations of that
that I can read on the Kindle that would

339
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be useful. Tweet me @Shiffman is the best
way to give me your recommendations.

340
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I could do a video on book recommendation
myself.

341
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hi, Chris!

342
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do I play video games normally?'
Not really, I used to.

343
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you guys are resourceful, you can find
an old New York Times article about my

344
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
video games playing. [Title: I Don't Know
Who You Are, But You're Toast]

345
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There are two NYT articles about me. The
video game was about 2001 [1998] and

346
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
another one about some artwork in 2003
which I'm less excited about.

347
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Find that old NYT article and tweet it at
me.

348
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Bungie was this company, that I guess now
makes Halo, that was bought by Microsoft,

349
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I played their early games, Myth: The 
Fallen Lords, was the game that I played

350
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the most. Also Marathon. Anybody play 
these games? These were old, old times.

351
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh! And I do have some exciting news to 
report which is that progress is being

352
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
made on music video. I actually shot the 
new music video which is really lucky

353
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
cause I did all sorts of ridiculous stuff
in the music video that I would not be

354
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
able to do now with all my broken limbs.

355
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wow, Josh found one of the articles, 'What
If Jackson Pollock Were a PC?'. There's

356
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
another one written two years earlier by
Michel Michaels or Michael Michel

357
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
[Michel Marriott]

358
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I met him when I was at a game conference 
at Javits Center just as a fan. He started

359
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asking me questions about gaming.

360
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Old school Bungie' that's exactly right
PeaDoll615.

361
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'I Don't Know Who You Are, But You're 
Toast' That's it. Is it still online?

362
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My age is 43, and my birthday is July 29th
coming up soon.

363
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think I started answering the question
of 'When do I expect to be making coding

364
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
videos again?' I certainly got the sense
from the doctors that by the Fall I would

365
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be able to teach my classes without much
of an issue. I mention that I do a lot of

366
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
writing on a whiteboard. But I'm hoping,
if I had a goal for myself, for beginning

367
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of August, but we'll see if that's
realistic or not.

368
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'What do I think about MATLab?' MATLab 
looks awesome to me; I don't know it very

369
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
well.

370
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Eat a lot of eggs and yogurt, calcium.
That is good advice. I was actually

371
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
wondering what was good for bone healing.
I was told protein was good too.

372
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do eat a lot of yogurt. I do have kids.
This is my daughter's unicorn stuffie.

373
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not my own. They're not here right
now; I'm actually home by myself.

374
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just finished a puzzle, this is puzzle
that I did with my kids last night that's

375
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sitting over there. I'll show it to you.
This is the puzzle that we did together,

376
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the glitter puzzle. The Glitter Princess,
a 100 pieces. 100 pieces is the perfect

377
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
puzzle for a 6-year old. There's a wand
here too. There's just like random toys.

378
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Anyway, 'Do I know any working picture
detection algorithm for Processing?'

379
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hmm, I don't. I'm trying to think if the
Processing library does that.

380
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Next Challenge: Tetris JavaScript w/out 
Canvas' that's really interesting.

381
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I would probably do ... it with Canvas.

382
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do you think VR programming will be in
high-demand?'

383
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hey Kyle Greenberg! Kyle has helped me a
lot with this channel. Kyle is a

384
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
researcher, an IT alum at where I teach,
who is here in the chat.

385
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
What was I just talking about? Ugchh,
brain. I was talking about ..

386
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the Tetris Coding Challenge. I would love
to do that.

387
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, VR games! Do you the nice thing about
this? This live streaming has a less of a

388
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
delay than the usual setup that I have.

389
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, VR programming. What the students are
interested in and hyped up about at NYU,

390
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there is certainly quite a bit of activity
and interest around storytelling and

391
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
related interactive experimental works
with VR.

392
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now, I think Gabe, who I work with at ITP,
has said this, but he likes to think of

393
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the field more as of an experimental 
cinema, 360 cinema.

394
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think VR is a small piece of what's 
happening with video and the ability

395
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to manipulate and work with video in new
immersive environments, AR, VR, 3D, etc.

396
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I would love to learn and get better
at is working with environments like

397
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Unity, Real Engine, and different
environments like that where you can do

398
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
programming.

399
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wow, I really never get to follow the chat
so I don't get to see as much of the

400
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
troll-ish messages.

401
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Make a PNG to ASCI Code Challenge please'
That's a great idea.

402
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hello, to India.

403
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Would you prefer C++ or Python?'
Actually, that's another thing I should

404
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do. I should read a Python book and learn
Python.

405
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not sponsored by Khan Academy or
anybody.

406
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Right now this channel is independent.
I do get support from NY University in an

407
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
informal way. I use a room there and I
help -

408
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have another guest video. I think there
could be some guest videos coming which

409
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
could be nice.

410
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I would love that, Peter!
Peter says, 'I wrote a Python Book'

411
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you have a Kindle version of it, that
would be ideal. Though I think I could

412
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
read a PDF on a Kindle.

413
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's no such thing as VR programming
just two camera projection matrices.

414
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yes, that's probably accurate.

415
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Am I able to shave?' Not really.
I probably could, but it would just be so

416
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
awkward so it's not worth it.
I can brush my teeth. I can eat!

417
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fungilious asked 'Is there a Slack channel
for the Coding Train?'

418
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There is a slack channel, but it's
currently open to only Patreon subscribers

419
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
right now. That doesn't preclude anybody
from making their own community Slack

420
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
channel, but that's one of the ways that 
I am using crowd funding to raise a little

421
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
money for the work that I am doing. Which
is to use Patreon for membership to the

422
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Slack channel. There is also a Discord 
that I don't know too much about, but

423
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's something that there's a community
using.

424
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Quaternions, I should [learn about that].

425
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Oh, I can't really get up and run to do my
joke. Ow.

426
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I feel like I should just always have my
cast in this. I can't. I don't know.

427
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have this goose neck thing that my iPad
is on.

428
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
NickTucker asks 'What role does AI play in
medicine?'

429
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Interesting question. I can't claim to
have any expertise in this whatsoever.

430
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But if you think about image 
classification and how often doctors and

431
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
medical professionals use images to make
diagnoses from echocardiograms, you could

432
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
imagine that, though I'm really 
speculating without knowledge of the

433
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
healthcare industry or anything, but I
could imagine a scenario where you had a

434
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
large dataset of images of broken and
unbroken arms then you could train an

435
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
image classifier to recognize broken vs.
non-broken arms. So that's kind of a

436
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
simplistic way of thinking about it. I 
think that there a probably a lot of other

437
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ways of thinking about that.

438
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do I have a Raspberry Pi?' Yes.
I have wanted to Raspberry Pi tutorial

439
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
videos, but I just haven't gotten around
to it yet.

440
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't have much to say about BitCoin.

441
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
People are asking if they can intern. I am
definitely accepting help with things, but

442
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you'll have to be pretty self-directed.
So if you want to poke through all my

443
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
GitHub repositories and look at GitHub 
issues...

444
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm trying to answer some emails. I'm 
using Dictation on the iPad which has been

445
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
working quite well for me to respond to
things. So I'm definitely accepting all

446
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
help.

447
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Do you think we live in a Matrix?'
Good question. What if I told you

448
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I knew the answer to that question.

449
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Is web development in high demand in the
East Coast?

450
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Any thoughts on coding bootcamps?'
I don't know too much about them.

451
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think they're great.

452
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nicholas asked 'What would you like help
with?' Let me think about that.

453
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I honestly haven't thought about it.

454
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So this has been about thirty minutes. So
I think I'm probably going to get going

455
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
soon and thank you for all the nice
comments, the tweets that I've gotten,

456
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
messages I've gotten. It's been really 
nice and supportive. All things considered

457
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is a pretty minor accident in the
grand scheme of things that happened in

458
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the world. I'm doing just fine and I have 
really nothing to complain about.

459
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If people are interested in me coming on a
live stream like this and just answering

460
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some questions, I'm definitely
happy to do this pretty often.

461
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think the thing that could be useful for
me is to think about, is there kind of a

462
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lowkey way that I can generate content or 
answer questions or do stuff while I'm

463
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
waiting for this stuff to heal.

464
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thank you for tuning in.

465
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Ping-pong AI tweet' have I seen? I 
haven't looked through all the tweets that

466
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've gotten in the last week and a half 
yet. So I'm going to go back and do that.

467
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'What's my favorite restaurant?'
Big fan of Japanese food and there are

468
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some very delicious and very expensive
restaurants.

469
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's a place that I went to. Oh, what's
it called?

470
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
omg, it wuz so gud.
I have to look this up.

471
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you guys want to wait for me to look
this up?

472
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'll look it up on my other computer. I 
should also check the slack channel here.

473
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's on like West 44th or something? No, 
East 44th. It's right by Grand Central

474
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Station. Masumi? [sp?] No, that's a place
I go downtown. Hold on.

475
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I can't remember this.
Alright, I can't find it.

476
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Is anybody watching?'
'No'

477
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I love that I can see a real time amount
of audience here.

478
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I will find out what this restaurant is
and I will let you know in the next live

479
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
stream for the people that are desperate.
I do live in New York City. Yeah.

480
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have some people offering to do guest 
videos that I upload to the channel.

481
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's not Nobu [sp?], I mean Nobu's amazing

482
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Sakagura' It could be that. That sounds
right. How come I can't remember the name

483
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of this. I wanna say that it starts with
an M.

484
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I teach at NY University, go to
ITP.NYU.edu

485
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that is a 2-year Master's Program. 
That's part of Tisch School of the Arts.

486
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can find more information about that 
program if people are interested in

487
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
applying or visiting, you're always 
welcomed to.

488
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And I hope I'll be better at teaching 
three classes in the Fall.

489
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I think Python is awesome. I wish I knew
it better and did more with it.

490
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have lived in New York since 1995. So 
not always.

491
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I gotta find out what this restaurant is.
Is it not by Grand Central? It is, I think

492
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it is. Let me look.
Sushi Yasuda! 204 E 43rd St. I think this

493
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is it. I just had one meal there at the 
sushi bar that was just like totally,

494
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
totally amazing.

495
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do not own a bike; this happened on a 
city bike. And yeah.

496
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Have I ever been to Europe?' Yes.

497
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I actually lived in London for 8 months
pretty recently in 2015.

498
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I did a semester at NYU London and I
would love to go back to the UK and spend

499
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some time there. I found it to be a very
enjoyable place to live.

500
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it was nice to get away from.. 
never mind. I don't want to get into

501
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
American politics. And that was 2015!
It was just nice to be away for a while

502
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from this crazy country.

503
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm just reading the chats. It's pretty
interesting to read all your messages.

504
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Make community projects so we can code
together'

505
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That would be an interesting thing to do.
I could make them as - ♪ (phone ding) ♪

506
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sorry, I'm getting a text message from my 
mother. I don't know. She's apparently not

507
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
watching this.

508
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Somebody asked about guest videos! I
might try to do some guest videos. I

509
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prefer to have a strict curation of them
and actually have the guests working with

510
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
me here in New York. If people making 
coding tutorials, what I'm not opposed to

511
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doing is making a curated list of them and
doing like a live stream that has a video

512
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that links to other people's tutorials to 
watch them. Kind of like a highlight reel

513
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of things to watch this week or something.
Like a This Week in Creative Coding.

514
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I feel like there have been some things
recently that I want to mention.

515
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There is a medium post about the new p5.js
web editor.

516
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I did hurt both arms. The right arm is 
unfortunately more serious and had surgery

517
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's going to be a much longer 
recovery than this broken wrist.

518
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The surgeon gave me the option to have
surgery on both, but I opted not to have

519
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
surgery on this one and hope that it heals
on its own. So we'll see.

520
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Private lessons?' I love to help people
and I guess teaching at NYU is my form of

521
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
private lessons for people who are in
that. [Stopped @36:06]
