When I was picking colleges a few years ago, I made my own rankings. At the time, I knew more about what I didn't want than what I did want, and none of the tools I found supported searching that way. The US department of education col

If you're looking for more info, there is a whole book that goes beyond the content of this episode. I found it to be an informative, and eye-opening (albeit disconcerting) read. https://www.amazon.com/Eyes-Sky-Secret-G

This looks very fun! It reminds me of a game called Euclidea that I played and enjoyed a while back, though the interface for this looks pretty different. https://www.euclidea.xyz/ Congrats on the release!

I appreciate the Go-style docstring comments in the code! For anyone trying to understand Bloom filters who may be interested in checking out an alternative C implementation (designed to be compiled to WebAssembly), I'll link mine belo

I did math in undergrad and struggled with proofs at first. I learned a lot from working through An Infinite Descent into Pure Mathematics by Clive Newstead. It's designed to get someone with minimal math background started with the

Kept mine simple. Made by hand! https://jstrieb.github.io I get a ton of action on my contact form, but mostly from people using Link Lock (one of my projects), or people who use my Cookie Clicker auto clicker bookmarklet.

Can't speak to graduate student experiences, but I did take Dr. Harper's principles of programming languages class as an undergrad. The course was ambitious and moved at a breakneck pace, and Dr. Harper could be a whirlwind in lec

This is very cool! I like that multiple repos can be added to the graph at once. Previously, I have used https://starchart.cc/ , which is similar, but lacks this feature.

This is awesome! Websocketd occupies a similar niche to—and might pair well with—my user friendly, single-binary webserver with CGI-like capabilities called QuickServ. When I released that here, one of the comments was that it would be nice

I have used Apache Guacamole to access running GitHub Actions workflows as remote desktops. It worked super well for testing GUI apps on other operating systems that I didn't want to deal with setting up. It's also nice if you wan

One interesting demonstration of YAML's complexity relative to JSON is that YAML is almost a complete superset of JSON. This is acknowledged by the authors of the YAML spec.[0] For example, the following code translates JSON to YAML us

Sorry if it wasn't clear from the previous comment, but the version with the usual extra characters will work, too. Scripts with the standard shebang will still be understood by QuickServ. So having a QuickServ script start with

A standard shebang will work, too. But one of my (perhaps idealistic) goals was to design QuickServ so that the user need never use the command line. Part of this involves sweeping the PATH and other environment variables under the rug. Sin

Great catch, thanks! And thanks for the kind words! Websockets felt a little out of scope, at least for the first release. But when I end up needing to use them for a project, I might be tempted to add them :)

I spent a long time thinking about how to do query parsing and have been dissatisfied with what I could come up with. This is the perfect solution! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful, and I'll be sure to fix these things as soon as I get home from work! Extension-less files should work fine as an alternative to index.ext pages :) The purpose of index in the demo was to

I made this because I hate web development. Don't get me wrong, I love that once something is on the web, anyone can effortlessly use it on their phone or computer – my most successful projects have been web apps. But I hate that you n

Kudos to the author for challenging themselves to apply best practices, especially on the web where everything looks slightly different for everyone! As other comments show, this is not an easy task to take on. I also read Bringhurst's
