Load times for me are super slow also. I managed to get half way through. Will my partial survey still help?

Out of interest, what light switches did you choose?

This is great advice. This is how I learned. When you’ve completed a puzzle (and not before!) check out how others solved it here https://github.com/Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code …

Perfect!

Yes! You can keep your Atoms and VS codes. Sublime is sooo fast. It never lets me down for opening huge files.

IntelliJ is written in swing. It’s about the most complex piece of desktop software you’re ever going to use. It’s objectively orders of magnitude more complex than a messaging app…

+1 for jitsi

Yeah I grew up with A500. I loved that machine. It came with a paper BASIC reference manual. It was years before I worked out what it’s purpose was. Once I did though, I was hooked…

I really like your style of explaining. Your diagrams are ace too. I like how they’re not too polished, they’re focused on conveying your message. You have a real talent for explai…

It’s been both great and terrible to be cooked up in a small flat with my wife and child. I’m always happy to see comments like this. I wonder if there’s a community for the M(o|u|…

Not a Rust expert. Here are my solutions https://github.com/w4tson/advent-of-code-2019/blob/master/da...

I’ve “read” 19 books this year (thanks Audible) These were my faves: “Wolf hall” by Hilary Mantell “The Selfish Gene” by Richard Dawkins “Never Split the difference” by Chris Voss …

I listened to the Selfish Gene on Audible recently and was blown away by it. All through school I never had much of an interest in biology or genetics. I think if I’d read this ear…

Or as they say in Yorkshire: all fur coat and no knickers

Me too! It’s a great tip

React. I thought it was another flash in the pan library from Facebook. Likely to be never heard of again in 6 months. In my defense I’ve seen a lot UI Framework/libraries come and…

Non Violent Communication I found it as a recommendation on HN sometime ago and I would recommend it to software people especially as we can be an argumentative bunch. It helped me…

Plus one. I’m reading this now. I have little interest in biology/zoology but already I’m gripped by it. I can’t believe how old it is, yet still feels fresh

Java is obsolete in the same way Apple is obsolete because it sold a few less iPhones.

Therapy didn’t seem to work. Have you tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? If you have an Audible subscription there is “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: techniques for retraining your…

I can recommend the Farnam Street blog. It has an excellent article on this subject. It may be what you need https://fs.blog/2013/12/stop-reading-news/

Things practical things that have helped me: - The idea of different types of comment. Suggestions vs questions vs more serious, “I think this might break X” - As a submitter, take…

How about real time collaborative tool? Like a simple text editor that multiple can edit at once. You could easily expand this if happened to solve it with time left over

At first I was confused about the screenshot/mockup. I think it’s meant to show what you could be signing up to. I’m not sure the in-app experience is all that helpful. I’d prefer …
