Now this is high quality content, thanks for sharing!

This caught my eye too https://maryrosecook.com/blog/post/little-lisp-interpreter

MobX has been great to me on small projects, but I’ve heard the magic can lead to problems down the road. Has anyone ran into these problems?

I’ve also noticed some of the noteworthy React guys have been turning away from redux lately. I guess nowhere is safe haha. What’s everyone here using at the moment?

Me too! If anyone has any fantastic niche web encyclopaedia links, link away!

They definitely deserve a shout-out too, these two resources happily got me through a couple of undergrad philosophy electives!

I’m a massive fan of digital ocean, so I hope they continue in a similar direction as they continue to grow into more corporate form. In any case, it’s going to be exciting to see what they bring out this year to compete with the ever-expanding and seemingly infinite offerings of AWS, especially with the coming voice-assistants gold rush.

Props to the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy, it’s perhaps the best general resource on philosophy on the web

Thank you!

Learning Haskell is one of those two weeks things that’s been on my interests list for a long time, but will likely stay there for awhile yet.

Though, if anyone has got any high-quality quick resources handy that’d be appreciated!

Australia uses inflation-adjusted, zero-interest loans which are paid back like extra tax once your income is over a certain threshold. I think it’s a pretty great system, takes a lot of risk out of persuing tertiary education at much, much less of a cost than free tuition.

Been thinking about trying out Pi-hole, are there any better alternatives?

Agreed, the MDN Docs are fantastic and I'm glad we have Mozilla around

Let's see how this goes...

Gotcha, that's fair enough!

Thanks, I'll check it out

I mean C++ isn't going to disappear anytime too soon, but I like where we're headed with language design. Python isn't just popular, it's monumentally popular, and I think that's a great sign. In my eyes, Ada and Pascal aren't missed, precisely because there are better choices for new projects.

I love what they've done with Go from my experience with it so far, they hit the target on a number of design fronts.

True, though languages should be designed so that it is difficult to write obscure, tricky or otherwise unreadable code.

I agree that heavy commenting can be a code smell

He listens to podcasts for 5 hours or more per day, not 5 hours of content in less time.

I like your article and the example you used, code clarity is vital. Poor code is often accompanied by many poor comments which only helps in overwhelming the next poor soul who has to read the code.

However, I think that the larger the project, the more sense it makes to comment heavily. Again, code clarity needs to be a priority, but so does comment clarity, so much time is spent reading code by humans who are optimized to parse natural language. So we should cater to our users, not just the users of our executable, but the users of our source too!

That makes sense, I find it too distracting to listen to unless I'm doing something entirely monotonous. The illusion of multitasking and all that. I'm jealous that you can just pause to think!

I'm definitely in that category of people that spend more time listening than watching, but I can't find 5+ hours per day. Although I might if I replaced all blogs and HN with podcasts haha.

In any case, I'll definitely try your service out and show some friends :). Hope you get some donations!

"I'm an avid podcast listener. I listen to 5+ hours podcasts everyday."

How do you have time for that? Do you listen while doing light work? Looks like a great service anyway!

Those first two paragraphs make me feel like there's a good TV show about this industry that hasn't been written yet.

Now that's more than impressive, well done Google

That was a fun data analysis! Is this what dictionaries will look like soon?

So which part of this isn't possibly with only uBlock Origin?

I used to use NoScript and am now more than happy with uBlock Origin in medium mode. The developer of uBlock Origin and uMatrix actually recommends against using them together now (for most people).

Underwhelming feedback so far for what should've been Apple's defining epic

Going to have to try this out

I strongly suggest trying this in earnest before turning to chemical solutions, they ALWAYS come with drawbacks. Concentration and productivity is definitely dependent on habits, skills, and finding what works for you. Also take care of yourself, these problems often come in combination with poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. It takes time, consult your doctor if you end up requiring chemical assistance.

Best of luck, I hope you're feeling well soon!

I can see how that would account for a big part of the trend. We seem to be good at self-organizing into particular patterns. I do wonder how difficult it is to fight against such internal biases, and whether it's even worthwhile...
