Awesome resource! The companion course on egghead is also great and quirky: https://egghead.io/courses/professor-frisby-introduces-compo...

Nice work, maybe add the ability to link to a specific page, like https://starthouse.xyz/facebook#4

There are already two comments here that could use the feature.

As someone who has built products with a Raspberry Pi, I'm not sure I would bet on a WIFI connection.

I can almost guarantee you that you will sit in your car and scream bloody murder because the WIFI ist not connecting.

My products had to work with a lot of other networks around and were built on a Model 3 B, maybe it has improved since then.

Sadly I can't point you into the direction of solutions because we just switched to Ethernet.

Oh this is neat, thanks.

Definition of on the dole: Unemployed and in receipt of state benefit.

Origin of on the dole: In the UK, Unemployment Benefit has been known by the slang term 'the dole' since WWI. This derives from the 'doling out', that is, 'handing out' of charitable gifts of food or money.

Whats the reason for using a form with a button instead of a link?

  <form action="docs/lit.html">
    <button class="mt1 btn primary white bold" type="submit">Get Started</button>
  </form>

I think he's talking about all deaths, not the death's of positively tested, which allows you to guess the number of corona deaths even if you have few tests. This is also known as mortality displacement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_displacement

That's very cool!

And is built in react. It's about choosing the right tool for the job.

Does anyone have a good resource / tutorial how to learn powershell as both a scripting language and to be powerful in daily shell life?

Talk about Svelte v3 and the (possible) future of frontend frameworks

I wonder if they increased their efforts after seeing VS Code (also a complex Electron app) run fast and memory-efficient.

Before VS Code everyone just accepted Electron's memory bloat, maybe slack even had plans to go fully native b/c no one thought it could be done properly.

that's not how my firefox on android behaves, I can search just fine from the new tab page

Also not working on Edge.

That was the direction the comet took when it first moved through. If you click on the dropdown menu in the top left, you can show all meteor showers at once. They are all in planes.

This is mdn, it's not a showcase of firefox features but a web development documentation for everyone. Firefox had this since at least v34 (2013).

I think MDN is doing a great job of becoming the go-to resource for everything: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

I only know a little bit of JavaScript, what's the best way to learn TypeScript? Read Eloquent JavaScript then some TS related stuff? Or is there a TypeScript for Dummies that don't know JS?

The airlines are just pinging the ESTA system. If they bring someone to the US without ESTA permission they get fined $5000.

The same thing happened two weeks ago to my boss, he had an ESTA permission issued until Nov 2018 but it got revoked without notice or reason and he only found out at the airport. He still doesn't know, even though he has an Official Passport (sometimes called Service Passport) and was on diplomatic mission to the UN climate conference in NY.

I'm not the best Javascripter, is there a TypeScript resource to learn it from scratch without diving deep into js first?

And it's fixed now. I really wonder what caused this.

as I understand it, the MBP line uses the 45W CPUs and I think they aren't out yet

Sorry for the weird URL. There's no blog post yet, just an E-Mail it got:

´´´ Microsoft Joins the Student Developer Pack Hi there @zeusly,

Happy New Year from the folks at GitHub Education.

To help you get your semester underway, we have some exciting announcements about the Student Developer Pack, events that are on our radar, an opportunity to get an hour of programming mentorship for free, and ways to shine a light on how GitHub is being used in your classes.

backpack illustration New to the Pack: Microsoft DreamSpark with Visual Studio

Today we’re making the first addition to the Student Developer Pack since launch: Microsoft DreamSpark with Visual Studio. You can download Visual Studio now and sign up for access to Microsoft’s own student developer program, DreamSpark.

With DreamSpark, students have access to a suite of great Microsoft resources including software like Microsoft SQL Server, the ability to publish apps and games for Windows and Xbox with a Windows Store Developer account, and online training materials, all for free.

To download Visual Studio and get access to DreamSpark, head on over to your Student Developer Pack.

A Free Hour of Code Mentoring

Brought to you by the folks who created hack.summit(), hack.pledge() is a network of 4,000 developers offering an hour of free online coding mentorship to students like you.

Sign up for your hour of support at hackpledge.org.

We want to hear from your teachers

We love hearing all the ways GitHub is being used in education. Be it teams of high school students competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition, a professor teaching computer science at UC Berkeley, or researchers working on open source.

We’re on the lookout for interesting ways GitHub is being used for teaching, and could use your help getting in touch with teachers. If any of your courses are using GitHub, tell your teachers that we want to hear from them. Heck, we might even feature your story on the GitHub Education website.

Teachers: tell us your story
