Nice idea! I experimented with a similar concept based on n-grams instead of single words. Then I do spaced repetition on the n-grams and select sentences which contain patterns that need practicing. I'm using subtitles as a source of

Since types give me guarantees that pieces still fit together, I usually only need a handful of unit tests for my non-trivial algorithms, plus some integration tests. Never for functions which hand things around. After fixing all compile er

Clojure is dynamically typed, right? Just curious: how do you refactor large codebases without a compiler telling you if the pieces still fit together? (I'm coming from Scala)

I'm currently experimenting with fly.io and quite like it. I'll try it for more side projects.

Yes, you are right. Only the existence of the problem is "backed up with data". The proposed solution is just an idea so far. I hope our implementation brings new insights.

Yes, the main feedback from HN back then was that we don't have any click-through or impression data. That is true, and we don't want to introduce any user tracking to make our idea possible. That was a very hard nut to crack, but

You could use github search and search for your library name only in package.json.

What is it?

Yes. I'm writing Scala in the frontend, which transpiles to javascript. And to be able to use existing Typescript libraries, I transpile Typescript type definitions to Scala type definitions. It works very well. https://www.

Interesting. I guess the difference here is that I learned vim after neo2 ( https://neo-layout.org ), not before. That way I already had proper arrow keys in my home row and hjkl felt cumbersome and redundant.

Twitter Hashtags were originally invented by users.

Vim was designed on qwerty keyboards. On other layouts (e.g. neo2) hjkl are not in a row.

Agreed. Hjkl only makes sense when using a keyboard layout where these 4 keys are located in a row. This fact made most vim tutorials useless for me, as I'm using the neo2 keyboard layout, where arrow keys are located in the middle of

One probably wants to provide a set of matching and a set of non-matching strings. Then the software would output a regex and some edge-case matching strings and non-matching strings. This could be built using set operations on deterministi

The spotify song- and playlist-radio work surprisingly well for me right now. Maybe they improved the recommender system since I tried last time?

Having way too many ideas and not enough time to work on all of them. You have to say "no" a lot to not let it drag you down.

If you have different workers to generate ids, give all of them their own ranges in advance. Once a worker used up their range, they can request a new range for their next N (e.g. 100k) ids.
