I think I would want to read those books that I haven't time to read.

Haha, good to know we think alike

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, you actually makes me feel better :)

lol!

I would really wish for a timer assistant. When I'm cooking in the kitchen with both of my hands occupied, I could just ask it to set timers.

Duplicity is great! I use duply to back up my photos to Backblaze B2, which is really cheap: 0.005$/GB/Month.

I have had the same experience. It has always been difficult for me to handle social relationships with others when growing up (I cannot understand how others feel/think about me). "How to win friends" offers an (behaviourism?) insight into what you do can make others feels what. It's like a handbook really!

How to Win Friends and Influence People - The tips in this book do work magic.

for reference: http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew/version5.ht...

tldr; add `c.TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'vi'` to ipython_config.py

Is there a way to enable vi mode in iPython 5? Since it no longer depends on readline library, putting `set editing-mode vi` in ~/.inputrc file no longer seems to work.

A lot of people(including me) who tried to learn speed reading spend much effort on trying to eliminate "reading out loud" in their head, instead of actually spend the time to read some book.

It's great to hear the experience from someone who actually knows speed reading techniques. I guess "reading out loud" isn't so bad after all. thanks for you input :)

great book, although the book could have been much more concise though.

speed reading never seemed to work for me(faster = lower comprehension). If there's a way to speed read, I think it would be how to identify key points faster. After all, most of the stuff is boilerplate and examples.

Slow reading and writing on it does sounds like a great way to retain knowledge, but it's hard to find a book that actually worth slow reading. What's your way of deciding if a book is worth reading?

I agree that retaining information is most important. I often suffer from forgetting everything I read. Do you have any tips on how to remember what you read?

I agree. The problem for me is that writing the same front-end stuff that takes an expert an hour can take me half a day googling and debugging. And it's not fun at all for me.

And frameworks do expire quickly. Therefore it's hard to be determined to devote time to learn any of them seriously. And plain old DOM manipulation and CSS clearly cannot beat the development speed of modern frameworks.
