Sounds a lot like vim/emacs modelines. This is neat for standalone scripts.

Man hearing that depresses me. Some people really overcomplicate things.

This is pretty neat. Feels like real time full text search. The user interface really reminds me of https://hn.algolia.com as well.

I guess there is a lost art of writing for optimal code/memory/execution time, especially as our resources increase. I think the idea here is to write code quickly that's inefficient, and re-write it to be efficient if the pe

Makes it sound like working in Amazon builds character, so you can know how good you have it elsewhere. Which is a good idea in itself, but seems like it's best to just skip on that experience. Kind of like a type 2 kind of fun. I&#x27

This is like the Kindle with Ads model from Amazon. You can pay Amazon an extra $20 (or request via support) to not have advertisements on the device forever. Or save a few bucks and deal with the occasional ad. And from what I can tell, th

Have you ever tried learning a spoken language by doing this? Like another commenter mentioned, it sounds a lot like Anki Spaced Repetition. It's very cool that you just rediscovered it, though.

I think there's a point to make on good PMs. Those are totally worth their weight. The issue I have with bad PMs is the same issue with bad engineers. They can cause so much damage to a product or codebase, especially when they have fr

Is this a previewer for manim? Really reminds me of https://bl.ocks.org/ , https://observablehq.com/ , https://asciinema.org/ , and https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/ . Really enjoy

Maybe MacOS isn't a good push for gaming for either developers or Apple. I definitely think iOS is. The Apple Arcade Subscription plan seems to be part of that for gaming. I've seen a lot of people on the subway and even at work s

Are you talking about the Superfish vulnerability? It's never affected the business class Thinkpad lines [1], but it has affected a lot of the other laptops that Lenovo has shipped. [1]: https://support.lenovo.com/us&#x

Is python the worst for package management? I thought C and C++ might have similar issues since there's no unified package management there either.

Is it 1GB of text + source code? I can't imagine that much plaintext from one person unless binaries, images music, or video is involved. Github Pages is probably fine for most people even with the 1GB limit. Btw, cool website. I didn&

This is pretty nice. It's effectively working as a blocklist from top domains. It would be interesting to see a curated version with an allowlist of domains as well, like how Angelfire and friends in the 90s used to be with a "web

This makes me think about how Yahoo Groups is shutting down in December 2020. Or Geocities in the past. All the content on both platforms is user generated. The companies that offered those services have the right to shut it down. It's

I think for some search terms, SEO and AMP support make a difference on how high your website ranks against other search results. I think it encourages a certain kind of website (referral links, modest length article with buzzwords, lists w

So I am a fan of vim and have used it on and off for 15 years at this point. I generally use IDEs or VSCode these days instead for writing code. Here's my take. I think the popularity of learning vim might be similar to what jiggawatts

I think video games fit in the area of 'completed software'. Most video games today rarely see updates a few years after they're released. And older video games were on read only mediums, so you would hope whatever you releas

Are there many different styles for teaching Linear Algebra, though? I'd definitely be interested in seeing how different resources teach it.

Wow,surprised to see this at a local meetup in Seattle. Thought it would be a kind of event for a much bigger venue.

This is going to be one of those threads that I'll upvote and bookmark and then not revisit till years later. Any idea on how to start setting aside time to take a MOOC? For those of you taking a MOOC, how do you structure your week?

This sounds like a plug piece about this person's life. Great, he sold a company for a large sum of money, he's stood on the top of a moving plane, he's played some video games. This article very flagrantly displays his wealt

It's funny you mention that, because I know more people who use Instagram than Snapchat. Could be an age demographic? What I do know is my friends who use Snapchat don't use the stories mode, relying on sending direct snaps to the

This is pretty cool. I found the chapter from Norvig pretty useful, didn't realize word segmentation was so approachable. Have you heard of "Unix for Poets"? It also focuses on command line programs to pick up n-grams. There

Is there really that much celebrity status thumping for programmers in SF? Maybe in particular circles, but I want to believe that SF has more diversity in tech than that.

Doesn't trust factor into this? I have friends that I would trust with asking for fitness related information/suggestions. I may end up doing more research on my own, but I trust those friends to leave out doing a lot of the work
