Discord has had Spotify integration for 2 years; I've seen it on multiple people's profiles. They've also added manual statuses in the last year. And app activity isn't limited to games only: go to your settings > app

What if we recursively defined 1/3? This will allow us to ignore the infinite 0.333... for a second. As an example, let 1/3 = 0.33 + 1/100(1/3). A definition of a third that most people agree with is that if we multiplie

For that reason, I prefer Chamath Palihapitiya's 2019 annual letter [1] over pmarca's essay. It's not merely descriptive of societal problems at large, but calls out actor and makes prescriptions. Two lines from the letter &g

The "nobody expects anything from Harvard" statement might be a bit too strong. I've seen people say that Harvard has a responsibility to do more social good with it's massive endowment. Here's one example [1]: >

When editing files, there's no really perceived latency because the files are cached locally. Only drawbacks is having pre-installed programs (on a shared server) and navigating through folders via a terminal.

What's the difference between a purely remote IDE vs ssh-ing into a server with VSCode? The latter is my current setup for a homework that requires multi-cpus.

Are there plans for an export tool, e.g. a user downloading all their comments and upvoted submissions? I tend to use the submission upvote button more than the favorite one, and an export tool wouldn't require a user API key for non-p

Companies with large capital reserves, e.g. Apple, Google, Berkshire Hathaway. With startup valuations low, those three could go on a discounted M&A spree.

Have you seen axios.com? They used to start off with short paragraph bites of news articles, that had a one-click go deeper to an in-depth piece.

Banks have more to lose from a decline in economic activity with higher-interest, commercial loans being defaulted on, than from slightly above average inflation if that ever occurs. In my opinion, it's more important to focus on the

If I had to bet, it'd be a corporate debt bubble propped up by the Federal Reserve low interest rates and practice of quantitative easing. As the coronavirus creates a supply shock, businesses aren't going to be able to produce en

You can use tf-idf [1] to achieve step 2 and that extra fancy part of excluding commmon articles and prepositions: count the frequency of words in the article, but divide it by the sum of frequencies from past articles. Text summarization w

Articles given via RSS feeds usually don't contain ads, right? Might it be possible to use content with no ads from RSS and the same content from the home webpage with ads to build a text extraction model that works beyond RSS?

An example of a library using React and ProseMirror is from Outline, which is switching from Slatejs: https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor/pull/150 .

Slate is in beta and isn’t stable yet last time I heard.

It’s part marketing, part functionality. For example, with Slack you can filter sign ups based on email. That being said, I would still love a discord for work where chat and invites overlays on top of a working document.
