MathCodeLove··on Ask HN: Programming Audio Book Recommendations
I loved "Algorithms to Live By" by Brian Christian and tom Griffiths. It's not quite as focused on the technical side of things as the books you listed, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.
MathCodeLove··on Ask HN: What tools/frameworks to use to reduce friction from idea to execution
Do you think the monolith approach is simpler than a front-end first approach with BaaS for backend stuff?
MathCodeLove··on Show HN: A simple blogging platform I built out of frustration with other tools
One more suggestion that would, IMO, be fairly simple. Tell the user to write in their subject line a {accessKey: 'someKey'}. The access key is given to them at the time of creation and can be regenerated as often, or rarely, as the user prefers. If they want update it weekly to provide an extra layer of security they can, or they could keep it the same forever with it just bein a handy backup in case they do link the random email. Just a thought.
MathCodeLove··on Sixth grader expelled after Zoom provided possibly inaccurate IP address
Instead of a permanent IPv4 ban consider issuing a temporary one just long enough to dissuade the aggressor from continuing their behavior. This would be just as effective, and is far less likely to impact others down the road.
MathCodeLove··on We mailed one hundred letters to test the postal service
Given that the main article is about the USPS, yes, that is a US based comment.
MathCodeLove··on Credit Card Ads Targeted by Age, Violating Facebook’s Anti-Discrimination Policy
I don't buy this in the context of advertising. If a company selling do-rag's or haircare products for the hair type found in most black people targeted primarily black Americans would that be racism? No. Not in the malicious sense of the word at least. That should be perfectly within their rights as an organization.
MathCodeLove··on Credit Card Ads Targeted by Age, Violating Facebook’s Anti-Discrimination Policy
You can report them fairly quickly, there should be a "report" button directly on/under the ad itself. I'm not sure how effective it is at stopping these sort of ads, but it is a step you can easily take.
MathCodeLove··on Credit Card Ads Targeted by Age, Violating Facebook’s Anti-Discrimination Policy
So the law should be against deceptive, false, or otherwise misleading ads. The law shouldn't be against targeted advertising based on age or any other socioeconomic grouping.
MathCodeLove··on Millions of the Pentagon’s dormant IP addresses sprang to life on January 20
What does that statement have to do with the comment you're responding to? Yes cops should kill fewer people, but as the person to whom you replied mentioned, police violence is far from the most serious issue facing the US currently. Let's get outraged at the obesity epidemic, let's revolt against black on black violence in the inner cities, let's "defund" platforms which encourage division and turmoil.

Even my comment is derivative, the point is that news and media outlets are able to control public opinion even by being honest and factual. By simply ignoring some facts it's trivial for these outlets to skew their audiences perspectives on current events. The whole "left vs right" ideology is toxic and cancerous to a healthy society and it sickens me. It's increasingly difficult to hold a moderate opinion about a subject without being demonized by one group of extremists or another.

MathCodeLove··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I agree entirely about the reward in finding a sense of agency of ones own life. The mentality I wrote about has a way of robbing us of our independence and leads to a deeply rooted unhappiness. I truly believe it to be a major contributor to so much of the turbulence in the world today.
MathCodeLove··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
Thank you! I see another user replied to you about an RSS-feed, do you find their answer sufficient? I don't have any social media presence as of yet, I'm just getting into blogging and that was my first ever article.
MathCodeLove··on Ruby off the Rails: Code library yanked over license blunder
Ditto to the other reply to your comment. RoR is extremely well recognized and widely praised. It's fallen out of fashion in the past few years, but I don't know anyone who doesn't recognize it as a great piece of technology.
MathCodeLove··on The beauty of the ampersand and other keyboard symbols
One would think that the multitude of already established terms for this symbol would, if anything, vindicate the use of the term "hashtag". It demonstrates that there is already a historical precedent for contextual consideration when naming the # symbol.
MathCodeLove··on Female Founder Secrets: Men Clamming Up
This victimhood mentality is atrocious and is something I recently wrote about. I don't normally do this but here's a shameless plug if anyone wants to read a bit more about this phenomenon.

MathCodeLove··on Heroes, Victims, and Society
This is my first time ever writing and sharing anything lengthy on the internet. Feedback and discussion would be greatly appreciated!
MathCodeLove··on Making an online multiplayer game with Godot and Nakama
What an individual may find objectional and what an organization with a founded interest in maintaining a positive public image in the todays political turbulence may find objectional are very different things. It's far too easy to stray on the wrong side of the masses for even the slightest perceived misstep.
MathCodeLove··on Show HN: I built an After Effects for dummies
I'd love to hear more about your backend structure. Would you mind going into a bit more detail on it?
MathCodeLove··on Ask HN: What are the most interesting things in tech lately?
At the sake of sounding naive, how does one who is new to the field find old tech to revisit?
MathCodeLove··on Ask HN: Where can I find quality, free scientific articles and research papers?
Nice! Seems like a great resource, though I was hoping for something more... legal haha.
MathCodeLove··on Target’s gig workers will strike to protest switch to algorithmic pay model
$10-$15 p/h is minimum wage in a lot of states, and still isn't very much money regardless.
MathCodeLove··on Jack Dorsey to fund UBI experiment that could affect up to 7M people
People who make under 20k dont pay taxes and get refunds because they are barely making enough to survive as is.
MathCodeLove··on Between Workaholism and Procrastination (2015)
> when asked about what's the difference being rich has made to him

I think that this quote, while well meaning, misses what being lower class is. It's about the constance worry and anxiety over being able to provide. It's being terrified of every accident or potential set back. It's about constantly sacrificing wants for needs. Being even upper middle class alleviates many of these, and being rich alleviates almost all of them entirely.

MathCodeLove··on LinkedIn is copying the contents of my clipboard on every keystroke
I'm not going to create an account with the WSJ just to read that article, but from the opening paragraph I don't see how it support your claim. It appears to be talking about something AT&T did?
MathCodeLove··on The largest unknown Bitcoin wallet moved nearly $1B for $0.48 in fees
Not Chinese, I also care. That comment is an example of subtle racism.

Image the following comment: "You better buy a good bike lock, else you're at risk of having it stolen by a black man."

A comment like the one above would spark near universal outrage at the commenter, and with good reason. It's racist, and the original comment here is the same. Unnecessarily racist.

MathCodeLove··on Apple announces it will switch to its own processors for future Macs
And iOS development
MathCodeLove··on George Floyd Protest – police brutality videos on Twitter
Not really very obscure. It's an incredibly popular show and I would be willing to bed that at minimum 50% of coworkers would understand the reference.

I don't think it's very difficult to use context to understand what's being said by the commenter.

MathCodeLove··on Ask HN: How do I get to $100 MRR?
> 1. Go find someone that has the authority to pay you money to build something.

How do I do that? Freelancers sites are cesspools and I'm unsure where to network outside of that.

On the page where you add new inputs, I have a list of tips and advice for maximizing results relevancy. It's hard for me to automate what "better" is for a product like this.
