Advice from fellow college grad: stick to whatever you find less irritating. In last 6 years I've jumped from Android development to ML to backend on Elixir. You got it!

You may check out https://arxiv-vanity.com as well. OS, convertation rates are close to 70% on random arxiv paper if I'm not mistaken, but hardly can be called stable

Looks exactly like what type of crunch work ML would do, but have you considered using brute force converters like latexml or pandoc where appropriate?

Unfortunately for my mental health my thesis was exactly about converting arxiv papers to modern looking html, and there's so much more broken, unjust and ugly things in academia then using pdfs... Regarding your question, I'd say

Maybe it's the interest of watching father playing quake/cs 1.6 when I was a preschooler, but I think no other activity could match the amount of joy as playing pc games and surfing the web, so I kinda naturally gravitated towards

I got to use briefly some iphones starting from 3GS, and honestly, I like how smooth they feel in day-to-day usage, but the biggest drawbacks for me is absence of full featured adblocker (ublock origin), itunes hassle, and no alternative wa

By them just existing (hiding options and ring cases) it is evident, perhaps in the most ironic way, that notches and enormous dimensions are fucking dumb and user-hostile. Notches are irritating people so much devs have to include option

Cutout and fingerprint scanner on the back is the hard pass for me, unfortunately. I had been exposed to the phones that didn't have to sacrifice usability so the normies can enjoy 5% more screen space of a IG/TikTok content

I've considered 12 mini too, but... I'm too addicted to the openness of (a rooted) Android: I can delete whatever I want and potentially get a bootloop, I can throttle the CPU and GPU so the phone isn't a hot potato in my han

I wish someone tried to compete with iphone 12 mini instead of producing these utterly niche phones: - just make it comfortable using with one hand (5 inch or less) - don't put 100W 32 core processor and 16 gigs of RAM - place a decent

I'm surprised author just have figured that one out, it's been here for like 6 years. As in any system, people will try to game it, and reselling is far from being an incomprehensible one.
