Expanding vocabulary, remembering historical facts, memorising national flags, English counties and US states, remembering facts about programming languages. For things like flags, counties, etc. it works great - I can now recognise more or

I made a site for this: https://sourcesort.com/contribute Beyond things like language and topic, you can also filter for things like how long maintainers take to respond to pull requests or how likely your PRs are to be acc

Shameless plug - I interviewed Andreas, the creator of Nim, about his philosophy and design choices here: https://sourcesort.com/interview/andreas-rumpf-on-creating-a... Might be an interesting read for people who are

The best thing is to try and find out beforehand whether your pull request will actually get looked at. It's also not so uncommon for maintainers to just get burned out and disappear for a while, so you might get a reply still. I made

Editor here. This interview is a great example of a useful project emerging from frustration and tinkering. Urban was unsatisfied with the proprietary tools for making PCBs while building a quadcopter, and ended up making something much big

I did this interview with brianc[1] of node-postgres a few weeks ago. This situation of a widely used project putting a lot of pressure on a small group or sometimes just one person is quite common in open source software. Brian is a very g

This is awesome! I love the photography style. I've been working on something parallel to this myself - interviews with open source maintainers to celebrate their work and aggregate advice for others[1]. It's great to see another

Thanks. You're correct, I should learn from Gwern and run these kind of self experiments properly. Will at least do a better job of journalling this year. I did this with microdosing and it was quite helpful. Have you tried fasting spe

Hmm, I'd actually never thought of using a tanning salon as an extreme form of light therapy, I might have to try that out. I'm just using a lightbox myself.

I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Andreas. I hope it's a good read for anyone interesting in systems programming and the new breed of languages like Rust and Go that have gained a lot of traction in the last few years. Al
