When I first heard of storybook I was not able to understand what exactly it did. I feel like this is similar with a lot of cool technologies built. At least for beginners or potential users, it's hard to get an idea of what something does if it's not presented clearly. Maybe just for me though.
This is brilliant! The text is could be used for reading as well, but the book selection is quite excellent. Do you think people could add contributions of text too, like submitting book texts? Thank you!
This is very true, in his about me page, he says that he does not rely on any type of cloud and hosts through his own servers. A very unique approach indeed.
Sublime Text has a vintage mode which has vim controls, which is very nice. It does not have an advanced set of commands that perhaps other editors might have, but it has the core commands. https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/vintage.html
One useful configuration was changing the command mode key to a single letter. This way you did not have to switch back and forth between escape. Additionally, for people who have hyperhydrosis, which drastically hinders laptop touchpad usage, vim is really useful for navigation. As for vim itself, it is perhaps more effective to use a modern text editor rather than Vim as it is was a bit of a hassle to get it set up. Vim is very useful, and its good to see more encouragement for it in modern software development.
This is a really great product! You did this with a lot of heart! I saw your most recent YouTube tutorial and the ending proved that you are very dedicated and driven to this. Only big things from here on out! Great job once again!!
Exactly! Before the virus hit I would walk long distances just wandering, mostly because I liked to move from place to place. I think of a lot of things while walking, but even more, it's a great and easy way to benefit the body and mind.
The book Walden by Henry David Thoreau would be a nice read for anyone interested in additional experiences from this article. I wanted to start gardening at a local club, but due to the situation it has been hard to do so. I encourage anyone who might not want to travel to participate in community organizations that involve gardening or related activities. Or alternatively, taking long walks also helps! Thank you for sharing!
The Wiby search website is so cool! There is something really comforting and nostalgic about text-only websites. In one of the searches I came across Project Gutenberg Australia. http://gutenberg.net.au/
Thank you for sharing this.
Shane Parrish recently did a podcast on this topic with Brian Koppelman. In the podcast, Brian Koppelman talked about how we wrote a single page everyday, however he did would not stop writing once he started. Rather than writing it was a thinking technique using writing as a medium. It was a way to derive thoughts from the subconscious. He also mentions how maintaining momentum is important in accomplishing tasks such as writing.
I do not understand how such innovative organizations end up falling apart. Bell Labs had a similar objective, only researchers were able to do basically anything with unlimited funding. Many salient innovations were made at Bell Labs, I wonder if such organizations exist to this day on the scale of Bell or Norsk Data.
I guess conditioning over time has enabled consumers to develop resistance to ads, companies have to change things up otherwise they will see no value in online advertising. I will say that it's ironic that often companies buy in to the marketing produced by advertising agencies.
I feel a bit conflicted on this idea as I too believe that some things do not require attention. However, I always try to maintain a balance and try to read information if it feels imperative even when I might not be necessarily interested. This topic looks very similar to one's Circle of Competencies.
I feel like I am in a similar situation. One of the most beneficial things you can do before starting a self-learning activity is to develop a plan of strategy that you can follow. Whether it be a Developer Roadmap or reading a book, try to structure a learning approach around these mediums. In regards to learning, consistency and repetition will guide you to a more systematic way of working. Shane Parrish has great articles on learning at his website fs.blog . It can feel overwhelming sometimes, but you have to keep pushing and be consistent with the work you do!
The website Asymco http://www.asymco.com/category/asymcar/ , run by Horace Dediu is a great resource for understanding the declining utility of cars. In many ways I feel like the automobile industry is linked with other industries, causing it to lag behind. As of now there is a slow pace towards newer technology, but the energy industry and automobile component manufactures do not seem to follow as enthusiastically.
In regards to this, what approaches can people take to become more T-shaped? I consider Hacker News a very good resource for learning, however, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of information I miss out on.
