If it would be less trouble (because of customs and other external factors), and assuming it can help, maybe a phone keyboard can also be considered? An OTG cable plus a normal USB…

While I gladly embrace the shift to solid state, I find the mechanical engineering in old electronic devices, cameras in particular, quite fascinating.

The name, monocle, also further misleads those expecting the physics topic. They actually have a nice logo with a lens and the lambda symbol which is often the symbol used for wave…

Entrepreneurship sure may be difficult as a whole. However, some difficulties are not really necessary. For me, it's a matter of seeing the end goal and removing as much obstacles …

Opportunities that require big risks is also another factor. My academic acquaintances abroad may be doing well financially and travel-wise, but they all have to live their foreign…

Having built both desktop-native and browser-based apps, I think there is an efficiency in doing the widget layouts textually via code/markup once you get over the learning curve. …

It gets worst when these users/students run to others when the AI generated code doesn't work. Or with colleagues who think they already "wrote" the initial essay then pass it for …

My personal/work files for which the physical media of origin no longer exists. Source codes, mine and of others that I care about. Compilers. Lots of books and Wikipedia.

Build/make something. Preferably something new to you and preferably on your own as much as possible (even if you're following someone else's instructions).

This also applies when calculating losses from paying third party services.

I think there are evolutionary arguments for it, besides avoiding sickness: * Generally, the opposite sex is physically attracted to fit individuals. * Finding food prior to agricu…

Maybe cheating a bit if we allow compilers to run on more powerful machines, different from where the program will run. It could be possible to utilize more modern or "ergonomic" p…

I believe Audible is already using non human speakers as well and just making up names for the narrators. I can tell since sometimes pronunciations are wrong and sound similar to T…

Have read the first few chapters and it expects that you either read the accompanying source code or implement your own and pass the tests. The pseudo code presented in the book of…

I use Audacious on Ubuntu as I can almost get the same UI configuration as foobar2000, tabs of playlists which can be made on the fly or from saved files. A music player app is som…

It might be fun to look at the last few chapter's of Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" for a deep dive and similar looking diagrams.

Thorsten Ball's books are the closest thing to Crafting Interpreters. Not just by topic, but also with how the code is presented. By far these are among the few books I know that t…

I find memes to be more annoying as the meme stock images are far less likely to be relevant and to add any value. AI generated images, on the other hand, are sometimes used to ill…

begin/end might be more familiar. Some languages don't even have the equivalent of (Pascal's) "begin" since other keywords are already associated with starting a block.

Maybe no longer true today, but with the right tools, C# and VB.NET used to be auto translatable from each other and IL can be decompiled to either.

Sometimes I still find the need to write a lot on a phone and it's thumb typing in a touch mobile device that frustrates me the most. I believe a good add-on keyboard, preferably j…
