Indeed, there seems to be some support for `link:HASH:URL` search operator, but only works for very large volume websites, e.g. it works on news.ycombinator.com but not on small and medium websites. still... it could be partially useful.

In the early days of Google, they used to be a `link:URL` option which returned pages that link to URL. e.g. `link: https://news.ycombinator.com` would return search results of webpages that link to HN. I had to abandon a projec

Interesting progress; It's like CDMA for radar. For those who have one hour available, check out this amazing talk about the early history of silicon valley, back when the first tech sector was radars for WWII: https://www.y

Great blog post! Thoughtful explanations and links to research papers[1] is a much classier way to compete and differentiate compared to just saying "we're better, we're better" like they've done before[2]. I love t

Good point. The "book format" in particular has a lot of future. For example, packaging a series of blog posts into a short ebook on a topic, then investing time to polish the content can turn into an excellent "product"

That's pretty cool way to structure websites: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/website... The chain of build steps is quite complex though... but hey, if it works...

Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about better textbooks for university, but high school textbooks are even worse. Total nonsense[1]. It's a shame. Hopefully OER can improve things a bit... [1] Richard Feynman has a revealing story a

This looks very polished and potentially useful. Could you point us to examples of different grammar files. How hard would it be to make a LaTeX parser based on Chevrotain?

In a flagrant act of self-promotion, I'll recommend my own book on math and physics: No bullshit guide to math and physics . What is remarkable about it is the interlinked explanations of mechanics and calculus, so you get a picture o

You're right, the plot is correct. I didn't look closely and thought the vertical asymptote was at x=0, but actually it is at x=1 as you mentioned.

I was going to comment that Google search does plots too, but in this case it seems to get it wrong: https://www.google.ca/search?q=plot%20ln(ln(x) )

I've had fairly good success with my books on math and physics. It's not a living yet, but definitely helps with the bills. Amazon (via CreateSpace) is by far my best channel, though when I can bring traffic to the book's web

The kindle is far from "open," but note you can convert any .epub to .mobi using calibre, so technically you can read anything. Works pretty well.

Very interesting write-up. Definitely cuts down on the boilerplate. Would be good to explain what `react-redux-provide` does under the hood. It might help convince redux users that the package is doing some of the work for them. Also what w
