    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 inefficie…

    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 tha…

    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 a…

    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 rediscover…

    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…

    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 the…

    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 see…

    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…

    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 peo…

    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 Angel…

    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 offe…

    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 (r…

    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 popular…

    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 m…

    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.
