If you want to start from "first principles", I thought this book [1] was good for getting right to the meat of accounting. It seems like there's a new edition that came out. [2] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Fin

Do you mind elaborating on the good things HTML gives you out-of-the-box that SPAs throw away?

maybe a dumb question but isn't lodash already implemented entirely in vanilla js? wouldn't the equivalent be just looking at the lodash source code?

I’m naive here but why would Chrome release a headless browser that makes it easier for bot developers to avoid detection?

Linear Algebra Done Right by Sheldon Axler for the following reasons: - I was revisiting a topic in greater depth, which is a common theme in university-level math courses. - It is a rigorous book, written in the style of definition, propos

"My company will search domain names with AI by taking user input that describes their company or project." Didn't get smartynames.com though unfortunately :)

This is a bit unfair. The author never claimed it would make them a 10x engineer. Learning almost anything is useful in some capacity. Is everything you learn equally important? Maybe, maybe not, but you never know in advance how things mig

Do you have any more context on the contentiousness of including numerical analysis in a traditional cs curriculum? I’m curious to know what the arguments are on both sides. I’ve also recently noticed that programs and students outside Nort

C++ at least has their flagship CppCon no?

Same. What they're doing is cool but the name is sacrilegious.

Here's a link to the original Atlantic article revealing Marc Andreessen's NIMBY-ism (also behind a paywall unfortunately): https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/08/marc-andre...

For a), I don’t see the connection between anticipating the future and conscious experience. Mind elaborating?

Interesting... I didn't realize there were large open projects that were formally verified. Are there other examples besides CompCert and seL4?

I think the causation can be reversed: Companies that survive long enough have a higher chance of eventually finding the right idea and developing needed products / services.

Going from Strang to D&F seems like a steep jump. The former is an applied textbook for non-mathematicians and the latter is a proof-based text for advanced undergraduate / graduate-level math students. I would suggest working thro

I think the article makes a fair point but I don't think it offers anything substantial. It's been beaten to a dead-horse that lectures or passive consumption aren't the most efficient ways to learn. Almost everyone in tech a

Residency isn't the barrier to entry to being a doctor (at least not practically), the real barrier is getting accepted into medical school. The process can also feel like a crapshoot. Likewise passing the bar isn't the barrier to

Would you mind linking to something written by Sam Neal? Not familiar with the name.

I agree, to me Notion is not so much about taking notes as it is about presenting nice notes after the fact for showcasing to others (or for personal review). If I need to bang out something quickly, Notion is one of the worst options avail

Has the author built anything substantial themselves? This might goes against HN wisdom to appeal to authority, but I'm highly skeptical of any product ideation advice from someone that haven't built anything significant themselve

Not sure if this is just a front for testing demand, but agree with others that it feels very scammy. Never seen a paywall AFTER signing up without at least offering some trial.
