budadre75··on Data showing the 2024 tech job market is far stronger than 2023

budadre75··on Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source
awesome! I've been thinking how to do it. Like if I highlight from Kindle or Calibre, how do I get them to Anki. However as an avid Anki user for language studying, one issue I found is that the most difficult part is keeping up with sheer amount of review from Anki. I could have hundreds of review, but not having enough time to study them. And I would imagine reading would generate a lot of highlights users want to remember, which would make it much more difficult. So now I am thinking the filtering and condensing parts of such method should be emphasized.

budadre75··on Homeless Population Jumps by Thousands Across the San Francisco Bay Area
I don't think locking homelesses up is ever going to happen. But sadly there's an trend in Japan that elderly over 65 are intentionally committing petty theft in order to live in prisons because they can't afford living [https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-47033704].

budadre75··on Goodbye Big Five: Google
This non-tech person's attempt looks to me is futile, just switching from Google to Apple or other companies doesn't mean you won't be tracked. To me the best solution will be self-hosting cloud services for email, calendar, and using TomTom or Garmin GPS.

budadre75··on An Epidemic of Loneliness in America?
I've been seeing this topic in the media for quite a few years now, and I just wonder why there doesn't seem to have any solution either from the private or public sectors. Is it because loneliness is not huge enough, or it's like poverty that has to be dealt by yourself? Those social media and apps trying to help just make loneliness and anxiety worse as many other articles suggest.

budadre75··on C.S. Lewis on the Reading of Old Books

budadre75··on YouTube top earners: A seven-year-old making $22M
money is one thing, but the effort put into is another, I've been doing engineering jobs, and I've put lots of efforts from education to actual job. This whole chain of efforts is just to have a life; money is necessary for a life, which a hard-earned one for me. I can say it's been difficult along my path of life personal or professional, that's why youtuber earnings shake me emotionally.

Does anyone know any website similar for advanced linear algebra and probability with practice problems explained with detailed solutions step by step?
