#123Ruby. I've done a range of languages, for example C, pascal, java, VB, PHP, javascript. But Ruby seems distinct from all of them in both syntax and concept (hashes, etc). I'd like to get to a point where I have a confidence that the programs I write are using efficient data structures and algorithms.
If you choose Ruby because it seems distinct in syntax and concept. I would recommend you to take a look at OCaml. Some keywords: immutable, functional, loop via recursion, accumulators, tail-call optimization, monads, pattern matching, type inference, ADT, etc
A small hobby project I made with it: https://stackl.remikeat.com

#124Marketing and sales, so this time I succeed with having paying customers in my next product :) Any tips or resources for solo entrepreneurs is highly appreciated!
I've been running my brand of scented products and cosmetics ( https://yuma.gr ) for 2 years now. 2 months ago we completed a rebranding and we're steadily gaining national consumer awareness of our existence as a brand. From the top of my head, in order of importance: 1. Your perspective is unique - no one else shares your exact point of view. Try everything. 2.

Thanks! This is solid. Good luck with your store. Btw when I open the website, I’d expect it to show me English descriptions (ideally it recognizes my country)

#125Functional programming, either Haskell or Ocaml. Been putting it off for years. I know at least a glimpse of it from other languages. Just haven't doubled down to actually studying it formally.
Similar for me, but using F♯

#126Non-technical skills * (Continue) Dancing - Beginning of 2023, I got into street style dance and movement (including stretching which I've done now for the past 223 days) helped me get through one of the most challenging periods of my life (i.e. divorced with a child, moved from U.S. to London to single raise my daughter). Dance has now taken its life of its own and I'm finding myself competing in dance "battles" as…
Cool to see more dancers on HN! I'm gettin into it more myself, I was wondering if you could share the software you used in some of your shorts to practice dance?

#127I'm going to be working on poetry this next year (something I've already started), and I will be taking a life drawing class starting in January. Honestly, I'm just tired of taking on technical skills. It might be better for my career, but I'm sick of hobbies and interest that encourage me to be solitary. Oh, but most importantly, I want to develop my relationship skills. My romantic life has had its ups and downs, b…
Similar boat. Started pretty successfully in AI/programming since I've always wanted to do that. But romance is pretty bad. I also agree about the solitary hobbies vs social ones.
Started doing sports / gym this year, and will probably continue that next year. I've thought about taking a drawing art course or cooking course.

#1281) Learn AWK deeply, in which I will meticulously go through a copy of the original 1988 book.
2) Get better at Git.
3) Study and pass the RHCSA.
4) Get better at troubleshooting Linux servers. I can actually feel my skills improving when I can find the actual root cause of an issue, and not just a symptom that is irrelevant. (Thanks, sadservers!)

Thanks! The shop currently is Greek only and I disabled google translate sitewide because it breaks React (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41407169)

#130Practical AI/ML, and not all the marketing buzz. Does anyone know of a good “AI/ML for Dummies” … from the basics. I do not want something that is just teaching me dozens of frameworks or toolkits.
The two fast.ai courses end up implementing Stable Diffusion from scratch if that’s the sort of thing you are looking for.
