123 Sorry about that.

I didn't realize I had the volume down very low.

This is my sound check of my voice.

How are the levels?

Can you hear me?

And is the balance between me and the get started in just about two or three minutes?

Well, hello.

Happy is a Thursday.

I am really having trouble keeping track of what day it is.

Welcome too.

Coating train with me.

Your host, Dan, We'll just take a deep breath, take a big, deep breath together.

Ready?

I don't know where you're watching from this.

From where in the world you're watching this.

I don't know what your circumstances are.

What you did, What time of day it is what you did this morning this afternoon, at night.

How you slept any of those things.

But I all in all, I would just like to know How are you doing?

Are you doing okay?

I am based in New York City, specifically in Brooklyn, New York.

It has been quite a week of chaos here, if not a month or a year or the last.

However many.

Here's whoever you want to get started.

Do you hear that noise, By the way, I want to talk about that noise in the second.

Um, but things are quite influx in the city here, specifically where I work where my day job is at New York University.

Do you hear that sound?

I would like to know.

Maybe you can't hear it.

Um, I'm gonna wait for that sound to finish.

By the way, that is literally the soundest body washing their hands.

And I'm not kidding.

You know, there's a lot of I know, irony or humor there.

You gotta have a sense of humor.

Sometimes, though, it's important to take things seriously and follow science some dancing around the topic that is on my mind, which is what's going on with Corona virus and specifically New York City and New York University.

So, um, nobody's saying they could hear that sound.

Oh, yeah, I hear it says d t six.

Let me address that a second.

So New York University has, um, go, um, canceled all in person classes and events and meetings.

There's a lot of other changes going on in the city of New York itself.

This has caused a lot of us who work at N Y U to have to change our daily routines to revamp our curriculum, to think about different things.

I am a person, as you might have noticed, who happens to do a lot of online education.

Evil adjacent stuff on the Internet.

So in many ways I am set up well.

Thio engage in an experiment with remote education.

But I would say that I think it is something very different to be caring for and teach caring for a class a cohort of whether it's six students or eight or 12 or 16 or 20 or 50 or 100 even which is quite different than this was like a live streaming thing on YouTube.

There are relationships and the things I do on this channel.

I hope our resource is two people who are teaching courses that they can create their community, their local community of their course around.

But I do think it's it's ah, I want to be careful about suggesting that, Oh, it's time to do remote education.

That's a thing that I do already.

It's not.

I do a kind of remote education, and maybe a lot of it's filled with like way too much nonsense, but, um but yes, So I don't want to.

I don't want to belabor this story.

There is a huge amount of stuff to sound, and I am not qualified to prognosticate and predict the future.

I'm just kind of working with what I need to do today.

And I think actually, some of the changes that are happening based on looking at reducing the spread of the virus will probably ultimately open up a lot more time for me to live, streamed or make video tutorials.

But actually, what's happened to me this week is I'm having a lot less time because there's a lot of things that need to be changed.

I'm spitting up, actually a couple new classes for N.

Y.

U.

Um, I, um there's just a lot of meetings, and not to mention like my son school closed.

He's actually having classes with Zoom Software at home.

He's in fifth grade on DSO.

You know, I don't have to be there with him right now because I have that covered.

But that's the puzzle pieces.

My daughter school still open, but the puzzle pieces of family and all that kind of stuff become enormously complicated, but I was minted, managed to stick to having a live stream Today.

I started about 1/2 an hour earlier than I originally intended, and I have to leave absolutely 100% at 3 30 which is now about one hour and 50 minutes.

If I could still do math on some level loud sink, I would that noise to happen again so bizarrely I was in here the other day.

I actually was making a quick video tutorial for how to do video conferencing with Zoom, which I might try to do some more of that on the channel itself.

Um, but who's loud noise?

I thought, You know the shop.

There's a sorry hit the bell by accident.

There's a wood shop over there and I thought, That's where that I never hear the wood shop in all of a sudden, I'm hearing it today, drilling and hurt again and heard again.

Maybe there's there's construction going on this building.

Maybe was construction then, uh, later I was like, I need to know, go to the bathroom doing number one.

I need to wash my hands.

I didn't watch my head a lot.

So I went in to watch.

My hands are when the water comes out.

So right now during this live stream, if we hear the sound bar, I mean, somebody's washing their hands, and we should applaud them for blood them for washing your hands for not touching your face.

Um, it could be something we could co today a hand face detector, but I don't want to be due to I don't want to make light of what is an incredibly complicated and difficult on life changing for many people situation right now.

So that's all I have to say about that.

I'm gonna move on to back to my sort of, like, usual programming, which is a lot of this stuff.

Well, today's episode of the coating train you have one two days early Pi Day thing.

Okay.

Who?

It's getting warm in here.

Fever.

Okay, I'm good.

Touch my face.

All right.

Um, we should let us let us now also transition to reading the ceremonial book of random numbers.

Things are a little ominous these days, so we're gonna have to do it.

49,514.

56,977.

61,091.

92,612 Okay.

Uh oh, ho, boy.

Friday, the 13th is tomorrow.

Okay.

You know, I I already probably told my Friday the 13th story when I was a little young lad and lass.

Lassie, laddie, Whatever.

Whatever it is you say, I had a boo boo boo boo boo boo on part of the 30.

Don't want diary of some old live stream from a year two years ago.

Somebody will find it.

So, um, this Saturday is March 14th also known as Pi Day for 3314 being the 3.14 being the first digits of pi.

Um, I I have in the past on a live stream on Pi day.

I actually was supposed to travel this weekend.

I am no longer traveling this weekend.

That trip was canceled.

So But I don't know what I'll be doing yet this weekend, and I I almost I'm sure I won't be physically here in this building on Saturday.

So no pi day, Livestream, Lis.

I spend something up from home or something like that, but I thought what I would do today is a coding challenge related to pie.

So it would happen today during this live stream in the next hour and 45 minutes or so.

And then, uh, Matt, you and I would work in the next 24 hours or so to edit it down to its sort of like core essential components, which would then be released as the Pi Day coding challenge on Saturday.

So that is my plan s So that's what happened today.

Now it's something we've been asking the thumbnail.

It says things like O.

B s Basics.

The N O.

C.

Chapter three Yesterday and I woke up this morning.

I was like, I want to talk about live streaming and how I could use open broadcast studio record a lecture and I'm nature of code.

I'm gonna be in chapter three so I could do a little bit on nature of coach everything.

The time, the time, the time, the time it got compressed.

I do want to really think about and maybe come back next week and focus on our there a set of tutorials that I could do to help teachers specifically who might be, um who who might be doing so Remote learning might want recorded video lecture.

Are there things that I that I can off make some content about to help people so specifically?

If you're a teacher and there's, like a thing I would love to hear from you Or if you have ideas for me, let me know.

And maybe next week.

You know, a lot of a lot of what people are doing with remote learning is real time interaction and questions and feedback and smaller groups.

And that's not something that I really actually have a lot of experience with.

What I have experienced this much more like one way broadcast, although it is sometimes like a chat and different things.

But, um, but I would like to offer some resource is one resource I do want to mention Let me just, ah, try to find it for a second because there have been a lot of people putting together um, this total.

Sometimes I can't talk in search.

By the way I have a question.

My kids say search it up like, um, you, um, who won the World Series in 1967 of Hey, Dad, just search it up.

Is that a thing?

Do people say search it up?

Or did they invent saying searching up?

And now it's a thing that people are going to say because I'm telling you could say Search it up, Katie.

It's catchy, trust me, but maybe it's already a thing and I'm old, old Internet man who just says I will search for it But now it's a search it up.

I'm searching something up and I can't concentrate.

One surgeon it up.

I'm people.

Thing is, you can't even see what I'm doing trying to log into arena.

I don't have my password looking up searching it up.

Okay, I found what I was looking for.

I searched it up.

All right, so this is a lot of people been putting together.

Resource is and there's ah, slack channel that exact lever minute put together for people teaching online in the age of Cove in 19.

But Melanie Hoff, who is one of the organizers of code societies, that school purported competition and alum of the I T P program.

And if you don't, if you don't know her work that you check out her work.

But she put together this really excellent arena compilation of all sorts of resource is for people who are teaching online.

So I just wanted Thio Highlight that you can find it at arena slash Melanie dash Hoff slash teaching online.

So I would like to come back and and maybe if there's time left over at the end, I will answer some questions and nice questions came in on Twitter.

And maybe next week I could make this the subject of an entire life stream.

But today I will be doing my pi Day challenge searching.

Oh!

Oh, silly me.

Silly me.

The thing that I'm searching up is ah, available.

Uh, playlists.

Um, Ro Private, like videos.

I got a surgeon up.

Uh, okay.

Ah, The other thing I want to mention is that I am deep into whips.

Whips.

Oh, no, that shouldn't say one should say, Well, I got to fix this.

I can fix this.

I'm working on a entirely new set of nature of code video's in JavaScript with p five.

These are re of new versions of video series that I made almost eight years ago at this point are actually eight years ago.

And so if you're new to the channel.

Expect a lot of new videos to come out related to this.

You can actually see they're all there already.

So if the video has a thumbnail, that kind of all that means is well, ah, thumbnail was made.

A description is their nature.

The code is online, it's linked.

But if you want to kind of get ahead, you can see all of these videos air there.

And then the forces of the Chapter two has started as well.

So one thing that I want to say about these videos that some of them are unlisted and some of them are listed.

Especially the video is unlisted and there's a significant mistake or issue with it.

Please let me know, because if it's unlisted, it's very easy for me to delete and re upload a fixed version.

If it's already published video, it's harder for me to do that.

But if there's a real significant issue, I will do that.

Okay, Uh, I'm also gonna have to sing.

Oh, you can barely tuners.

Battery is gone.

You have to do some pie day singing.

Maybe today eating of some pie, who knows?

I'm out of sorts people out of sorts.

I searched it up, but I couldn't find it.

Chris Ray asks Are you going to remake genetic algorithm chapter?

Uh, not probably know you now?

Uh, no, I don't think so.

Uh, the genetic alloy chapter is actually something that I revisited more recently, so there might be some added videos, or I might swap in and out a new version of one of those videos.
