   Yeah, I don't love their communication / marketing as well. Basically, it is a todo manager, but with built-in first-class scheduling. You input your todos, assign time estimates, and Sorted helps you spread them out in your day,

   I was unsure if I'm allowed to provide text context in a URL post. Thank you for doing that for me. Apart from the nice privacy policy, Sorted is really great for people like myself who tend to overfill their todo lists, and subsequent

   Not that it matters now, but I’ve recently learned about generic-data-surgery [1], a library that let’s you take a record X and return a record X with an added field Y. Pretty cool stuff, considering it’s all strongly typed. You would need

   Hey, since you specifically asked for it: did you try Magic Racket? [1] It’s a VS Code extension for Racket based on the Racket language server. We don’t have feature-parity with DrRacket yet, but many people are contributing to the languag

   I found that the problem with newsletters is that there are too many too often. I discovered Mailbrew ( https://mailbrew.com/ ) a while back and it solved this problem for me — together with “newsletterifying” a few of other

    I won't comment on your attitude, to not stir up your emotions even more. I'll just pick a little paragraph from your comment: > The entire value I got out of this course in undergrad was technical writing. Learning how to actu

    Sounds great. How does the time travel debugger work if not by stepping through the lines? Jumping forward and backward between function calls?

    I'm enjoying the discussion, thanks! Elm really does sound heavily opinionated, but that's often for the better, as you say. How's the tooling, besides the compiler+error messages? I've seen a web-based interactive edito

    By "lack of higher order functionality" you mean the typeclasses, right? I should have formulated the question in a better way; my students probably won't take another shot at FP for a looong time after this course, so I don&

    Thanks for the response! I edited the question a bit since you've answered (not to look like a typeclass fanboy), but I see what you mean — one can certainly better appreciate something when he doesn't have access to it. Are there

    There is a way to link to individual blocks now (paragraphs in Obsidian speak). And an alpha plugin API has just been unveiled to the insiders. (No affiliation, just a happy insider)

    By the way, it seems that statlect focuses a lot on probability and so has quite an overlap with Feller. If you had to choose a primary text you'd read, which one of those two would you take?

    I’ll copy my comment from other place in this thread, because I think it might be relevant here. I feel that most math subjects are treated either as full-on “fluff” (e.g. calculus, all computing, no theory building) or full-on theory (real

    What textbook(s?) would you recommend for a thorough self-learning of statistics? I’m looking for both intuition _and_ mathematical rigor — not all proofs, but not all fluff either. I’m a bioinformatics student and I will have a semester of
