But you can also go down related rabbit holes on Khan Academy if you find an interesting tangent...

randtrain34··on Launch HN: BaseDash (YC S20) – Edit your database with the ease of a spreadsheet
$50/user/month seems a bit steep to me, you can easily get something like https://retool.com/pricing/ for $10/user/month. Granted it's a bit of a different market, but it does a lot more in addition to having editable/searchable/filterable DB tables.

The Chickenshit Club by Jesse Eisinger is a great teardown of gov vs corporations legal action

Typescript and Golang interfaces extend each other a lot via inheritance, from my experience in various codebases.
randtrain34··on Pixels Fighting
What's the algorithm for this? Is it just Conway's game of life?

Yeah lowdb or even https://github.com/LokiJS-Forge/LokiDB will probably be much more performant/more featureful.
