This looks really excellent, I'm excited to try it out.

A similar and very powerful narrative can be found in _The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism_, by Edward E. Baptist. The book is slightly prob…

Cool! I once wrote a much hackier version of complex arithmetic in JavaScript [0]. It was to support a visualization of the complex derivative [1]. I found it useful to think of a …

This is rad! I wish it had MathSciNet as well. https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/index.html

Good ol' Socrates :) This resonates with me very strongly. But it seems all too easy to extend this sentiment towards others and remind them that they don't know what they're doing…

The violin plots are cool and look like a great alternative to box plots, I had not seen those before. Sweet!

I've been working with Ember over the past few months and am still impressed with how simple and productive it makes every day tasks. Basic CRUD stuff, especially render code, is a…

I will soon, thanks!

One pain point I've really felt recently with Python is in the deploy step. pip installing dependencies with a requirements.txt file seems to be the recommended way, but it's far f…

Reed Esau creates a bunch of vim plugins for writing, I've found them to work very nice: http://wynnnetherland.com/journal/reed-esau-s-growing-list-o...

I've always wondered what coding is like for those who don't speak english, or only speak a little. I imagine it's something like working with code beatified by this tool. Almost e…

How do provisioning systems compare to Docker? Right now I have a development environment that consists of salt stack provisioning Vagrant. Spinning up a production server just mea…

Hey krrishd, I also offer my help. It will be the most useful for front-end web design, or maybe some minor backend things.

When I was learning more about this, I found this[1] article to be of great help. I think the key idea is that JS is a prototype-based OO model. It's easy to forget because there a…

Thanks. The low level stuff certainly seems like a good thing to learn—I made an effort to read Code[0] a while back and most of it went over my head. The high level programming la…

As a Senior in high school who already works in a startup, I have another question: what shit should I being trying to learn in college? There's a prominent attitude here that a de…

I built a site using ProcessWire[1] a while back, it was a joy to use. Really clean modern php cms. [1] http://processwire.com/

I would add RequireJS to the list. Being able to think in terms of modules while developing a large application is extremely helpful, and explicitly defining dependencies is great …

Are you using jsPlumb? I just spent some time on a project that uses jsPlumb for a similar effect.

I've never come across a website that I felt needed a responsive layout, though I regularly think emails are a pain to read on a phone if they use html. However, most html emails a…

If you enjoyed this piece, you might like the book "The Information Diet" [1]. It's not particularly compelling writing, but the author has good ideas that are very much inline wit…

I used xflux when I used linux a while back, it worked very well.
