Some nice historical context for many of the recent developments (e.g. why py3.11 is 30% faster), and other general topics (e.g. why certain languages denote variables using dollar signs). You can look at the topic-shortcuts on the video ti

+1 for music. I have observed that every day that feel unproductive (self-interruptions, getting up for nothing, start-and-stop on work tasks), it's because I forgot to start a good playlist in the morning. In contrast, if I have the m

Wow this is beautiful. I love it when a complicated process can be simplified into such logical steps, that you know work in isolation, so you know the strategy will also work overall. Thx for sharing!

+1 for Voiceliner, which has been very useful for me too (heard about it via HN). It works pretty well on iPhone, haven't tested on Android.

Wow, this is so much more detailed than I expected. It covers the "main" explanation, and lots of special cases based on a custom airflow simulator. Very cool.

See this video at t=34 secs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaK6TThRMdE&t=34s Seems pretty simple... I guess what is special is (1) you can do it while sitting, and (2) the muscle doesn't seem to get tired so you

It sounds like your daughter might enjoy reading my MATH+PHYS book. It covers mechanics and calculus in an integrated manner. I don't do all the proofs, so might not be a good fit for a proofs-based, course, but lots of illustrations a

Yes, the long previews are intentional. Basically I wanted to have a full chapter from each book, then went through the rest of the book to select pages with topics that looked interesting, so I ends up with 100+ pages. The full books are 6

Tangentially related to your question, but I figured it might help if you need to review math at some point. Given it has been a while since you last did math courses, I have a non-free book on CALCULUS[1] and another one on LINEAR ALGEBRA[
