   His books helped me through some of my toughest times, especially “No mud, no lotus” and “Work”. He’s had a big influence on me and I hoped to meet him at some point. I’m teary eyed and sad to hear this. He lived a beautiful life and was a

   I also like using fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim ) and telescope ( https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim ) with neovim. I tried setting up tags a long time ago but faintly recall

   This is great! Wish our senior director would understand this. The man loves the idea of butts in seats for long hours and can’t wait to have us back in the distraction riddled office.

   It's been a while since I used Pop_OS but it played better with setting up Nvidia proprietary drivers from the get go and that helped with getting a quick local ML dev environment set up. Their new tiling window manager also looks neat

   I love LinkedIn because it helps me stay in touch with people who I went to school with and old co-workers as I deleted my Facebook account years ago. If I didn't have LinkedIn, it would have been much harder to stay in touch with thos

   I love using Typora. My favorite feature is the mathjax support. It has replaced latex for me for grad school assignments and saves a lot of time. Great to see that they won’t be going the subscription route.

    On a related note, Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg (from Stanford persuasive technologies lab) was one of the best books I’ve read on habit formation and have been able to start habits that I now do on auto-pilot during the day.

    I recommend checking out Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg. He runs the Stanford Behavior Design Lab (previously known as persuasive tech lab). One takeaway from that book that might be relevant to you is that we tend to repeat actions that are reward

    I'd recommend Investopedia to learn more about those terms. As someone with a robotics background, I used Investopedia extensively when I was taking Machine Learning for Trading (would highly recommend the course as well: https:/

    +1 to the idea of having a few good math courses created by institutions. I think if I can save all that time on repetitive lecturing, it would make more time for discussion/experimentation based learning. I’ve also wondered about why

    Curious if you use your markdown files on mobile and if so, what tools do you use? I’m still using bear because of their iPhone/iPad apps.

    As for your second point, when I tried it out, it just used a local directory that it puts all the markdown files in. I think that should work fine.

    I’m also feeling completely okay being in the quarantine and actually much happier. I feel like I could spend a really long time just exploring projects, books, learning stuff etc. and don’t even want the bits of social interaction I get wi

    I was in your shoes about 2 weeks ago. I also learned vi first and have been using it regularly for a couple of years now but was curious about emacs. At home, I installed spacemacs which uses vi keybindings. For work due to some security s

    Made an account to say that I had really bad wrist pain that was making my life hell. I found about this book in an earlier HN thread. I read the book on a Saturday and by Monday all of my wrist/hand pain was gone. Thank you for sharin
