Similar thing happens to me from time to time. I have a semi-systematic way to deal with this: 1) check I drink enough water, I eat enough, I had enough sleep. I.e. me and my wife have managed to avoid few really depressing evening conversa

Way I think of it is more of a design-decision. If I am comfortable with a more powerful typed language, it can do so much of the heavy-lifting for me, i.e: I used PureScript for a toy project and using type-directed search and type-safe ro

I had similar fear, in my case, stemming from the fact that I really wanted to be on the edge of so many new technologies, and I felt I am falling behind. What helped me was to focus on things I already know and help me "Get the job do

T.b.h. I skimmed the "Haskell is the best" part and read just through the "Can we get performance of Haskell with the type-features of Agda without sacrificing the ergonomics of either?" and found it informative :)

Yes this is it! :) Never occurred to me to search for a video :P

In that case I can only recommend going to a library and skimming few books in the young-reader aisle :-P There definitely are many I found there to be entertaining or insightful just for me,even if I never got around reading it to my daug

I would look at uKanren, the smallest mini-kanren cousin. I like Bodil Stokke's [1] introduction, but if you are not afraid of lisp, you can read/re-implement the original(?) [2] paper :) It is basically bunch of combinators for d

I forgot the favourite, where somebody shits on little-moles head, so he goes from animal to animal to compare their poop to the one still sitting on its head . It is very informative :)

I would suggest reading more childrens books :) I just remembered how many children's books my daghter loves are kind-of stem-adjacent? We have a book about a forest-bison that is kinda upset that he doesn't hibrnate during the wi

When my daughter was 3 years old, she racted really well to stories that described sort of ecology. I.e. we watched together one of the how-to-train-your-dragon cartoons on netflix, and she really liked the stories where several fragons had

I don't really have any 'tips to make it stick', because I don't really try to? Most of my day-to-day development happens in VS Code, most of my in-console or over-the-ssh editing in vim. For interactive/exploratory

Second emacs org-mode. I use almost nothing out of it. I have the default spacemacs configuration. I literaly just write bullet lists and cycle TODO and DONE states on them. Still the best todo-manager :)

Well, I have to give her credit, it is not entirely random. Like, in Kingdomino, she will make valid moves, but it is apparent her real goal is to have the tile with the image of the flyover dragon neighbor the tile with the lochness mons

I had some success in teaching my 3yo to play some board-games with me. She is more of a random-agent, but mostly makes correct moves and loves to "score many points" :-) * pexeso * king-domino * carcasone (with reduced number of

I can talk from my own experience, as I learned programming at similar age (like 17 years ago) :-) * I learned with Visual Basic For Applications, because the IDE was bundled with every MS Office installed, so there was no setup required. *

First, as I don't know the system in your country, I would consider two things: 1) what is the safety-net available to you? i.e. in my country, if you file the proper paperwork you can get some support for caring for a disabled relativ

Hm, maybe it is the explicit nature I am after? For example I really liked the checked exceptions in Java, even though I understand the reservations of other people.

I said that I prefer it :D And even in ML-style language, I wouldn't like a result of (Maybe result, Maybe error) and I would much prefer Result result | Partial (result error) | Error error | Nothing These two things are the same. I s

Man! I actually like half of Golang's error handling practice. Returning errors and dealing with them in a simple case sounds nice, there is no magic required, no need to think "am I forgetting to catch an exception here?" On

Pick one of the Discworld Series from Terry Prattchet. I have read it as a teen/tween, my wife discovered it a year ago, and we both really like it. Depending on your tastes: * if you like straight up fantasy parody, you can go from th

Creating something genuinely new can be really tricky if you are learning at the same time. I.e. look at the TodoMVC as the comparison benchmark for various frontend frameworks.

Yeah, it really is a minor nitpick, even the "Classes" list is really solid :) The last update seems to be five years ago and I have to admit, If were writing this 5+ years ago, I too might assume "All modern languages have c

I would like to go on a similar path one day, with following differences: * not quitting a job, change job, negotiate higher pay, long weekends (done ;) * figure out what side project I actually want to pour myself into Based on what I hear

One thing I found out as I get older, that I no longer like large gatherings of people, as I imagine most networking events would be. I much prefer one-on-one interactions. I found out that lunches are quite good for this. It is in middle o
