It's another bare-bones OS. I've taken the class at Purdue. The way the class works it was divided into 4 "projects" where you had to add features to Xinu. In my semester those were: a more advanced scheduler, locks, pro

A UI can be represented as a set of concurrent/asynchronous prompts. UI takes the model and possible next actions, presents this to the user, gets a response, and returns this as an action which is then applied to update the model. Ale

I think this is more of a thing for college students who are getting their first job. IME I've heard a lot more people interested in side projects than the other commenters. But I'm also a lot younger, and heard this usually in di

Honestly I consider my running and other forms of exercise as "work", even when they're fun. Exercise maintains physical health, which IMO is more important than any amount of career success.

I should've mentioned that I actually took Spanish classes a few years before Duolingo. Those classes taught me the grammar and why the rules exist, but I didn't memorize many words (or I forgot) and I had serious trouble understa

Not quite, but I experience very bad logic and logical inconsistencies in dreams. For example: - Can't even do basic math, or I solve it wrong (e.g. 2 + 3 = 7) - Impossible (non-euclidian) spatial arrangement - Leave out big gaps of de

I use Duolingo to learn Spanish. It's very simple but the streak system has kept me making slow progress. I've only gotten to "Checkpoint 3" (of 7) but it seems to be working well - I don't speak fluent but I can us

This looks a lot like existing co-op programs, where undergraduate students are hired as (typically paid) interns and take a break from classes while they work. AFAIK these programs usually work really well, to the point where my under

This seems to be what Apple Arcade is doing. You pay a subscription to Apple and get access to curated games with no ads or microtransactions. Apple pays the developers, although I don't know how. AFAIK it's going pretty well. I d

I really wish internet games were the future. Both from the producer and consumer side - as someone who tried to make games before, and currently owns a low-end mac (great for productivity but bad for gaming) - I really believe the ideal is

Cool, thanks for the response. Btw, I suggest adding links to https://m3o.dev from https://m3o.com and vice versa. Until your response I didn't see that the former site existed.

I'm probably missing something - some of these APIs I get, but some just seem useless. Why do I need an API to convert images? Find emojis? Convert "John" to "Hello John"? (ok the helloworld service is just a demo.)

I heard (from a research professor!) that the best way to learn real-world large-scale design patterns is to work in industry. Because at a big company, you are working on a real-world large-scale system. So I would recommend, if you have

This reminds me of Northeastern's CS undergrad curriculum. First semester we learned Racket (a basic functional Lisp language). Then second semester we learned Java, but in a strange functional way (kind of like writing Java "as i

Any other recommendations for CLI tools? I've gotten kind of familiar with the Git CLI. But it took a lot of wasted hours and headaches to do so, and even now it takes headaches and extra time / effort to do certain things like re

I always wanted a tool like this, and wondered why it didn't already exist. Many others have tried this before (code + visual editor, albeit not necessarily React). I'm interested in what challenges the developers faced to make th

Yes! The only issue is that it takes a beefy GPU on a PC. Which I guess would happen on most games like this, but it still means it's unplayable for me.

I'm patiently waiting for a game which lets you play in real-life environments. Like an FPS or racing or sim game that lets me play in my favorite cities, or better yet, my favorite towns. Doesn't even have to be accurate, althoug

Sometimes when I access a webpage I think to myself "what if I do X and the whole website crashes?" Or if the webpage crashes I think "heh, what if I brought down the whole server?" It looks like this guy did just that.

When I first picked up Factorio I loved it for about ~12 hours. Then I just felt, everything is too hard and there isn't a sense of purpose. For me, I think it would me a fun game if there was more strategy or something else to do besi

I've gone on super long runs (10+ miles) through cities, parks, and other beautiful environments. These runs can be transcendental. During them, I felt like I was at peace and all my problems almost went away. Now I think back on them

Honestly I still wish I could shop in person, it's just too far :) Not trying to be rude but maybe you didn't tip enough? The default tip is 5% but I usually do ~20%.

I've used both Instacart and Walmart delivery because I don't have a car and live ~3miles from the nearest supermarket. In my experience, Instacart has worked very well: the only issues (2-hour delivery window, tip for delivery) a

I'm aware I've had good luck with regard to physical health. Not getting into details, the main surgery I had was a routine operation which cured an otherwise life-threatening issue. So I'm a bit biased here.

My experience with surgery was actually pretty good. The sedation worked well, and although surgery messed me up for a bit, what brought me into the office was much worse. Mental asylums, suicide treatment, etc. - those are the doctors &#
