"Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming" is considered the natural successor to SICP. I haven't tried it, but apparently it's a good deal harder.

I too am looking forward to that. 99% of the time `&>:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 4px; }` does the trick, but that 1% (usually wrapping) normally leads to compromises.

My parents have a wood fired, and I have an Ooni Koda. I can compare: - The base is better on the wood fired oven. The Kodas stone doesn't get hot enough. I've read recommendations…

I think it's more about your intent. I'm not too bothered I don't care about soccer any more, I'm not after therapy to change that. In this case though, I see someone who badly wan…

Also we need to remember what the relevant pre-existing conditions here are. I think most people are immediately thinking severe asthma, COPD, recent or current cancer treatment; a…

Really? I have a rule with Anki where the question is one line and the answer is no more than 3. No cards take longer than a minute to write, or more than 10 seconds to remember. I…

This is a hard one to answer, and what works for someone might not for another. The most useful advice for me has been to find a method, and stick with it. This is most important f…

I'd argue that you shouldn't do 100% of the exercises, or even nearly all of them. With mathematical subjects, the best way to revise is to go back and do more exercises. So leave …

'More modern' these days appears to be the 'thousand papercuts' approach - many SaaS products that collectively provide the same feature set. It's still hell, just a different kind…

We tried to use a result type in C# for cases like this. For example, we want to save an object, returning the updated object (on success), or an error on failure. Unfortunately in…

Yeah. For one thing it's fun. Another is that film genuinely has features digital cameras can't match. For example, if you overexpose most film you aren't left with massive pure wh…

Not very good for vocab either. Duolingo is a feel good tool - it makes you feel like your learning, perhaps quickly, without really learning anything. For example, it uses multipl…

I can have some weird cases on firefox Linux, where it isn't rendering perfectly. This might be me though, it's generally when I'm developing. Just sometimes I'll go 'display: flex…

I don't think anyone is looking at the Nobel prizes to categorise sciences. The 'table of hard science' according to Alfred Nobel also includes medicine (not science, but we'll let…

My parent's have been a subscriber to Nature for a while. They accomplish this goal (communication to different audiances) very effectively. In the early pages, there's a brief sum…
