I've been working on a digital math workbook. Currently the demo covers fourth grade math. There is a practice mode where you can select the skills you to want practice. There is also a customizable dashboard where you can setup your o

I have had good results with languages like Haskell and ReScript. They have much smaller code bases than JS and Python.

I imagine LLMs have already thrown traditional programming language pedagogy out the window.

No problem, what you have shared here is very insightful. Cheers to continued success and evenings in the zone.

Great story. Are you willing to share more about your SaaS?

To build on that, I would say the most powerful passports/citizenships are the ones that let you live/work in your desired country. It may be different for different people. The ability to travel visa free to many places, while ni

My approach is to block the majority of notifications and have no social media apps. Now it is a phone with some handy features like maps, music and a web browser.

meh, let your inner child chuckle, doesn't seem that unfortunate. I know guys that got PhDs from writing lots of Coq. An HN user made a company called Matasano and sold it for money!

You are also missing that American soft culture is even stronger than what Japan exports. It's just been around longer and normalized for so long it is just normal to consume American media outside the US. I've ran into people tha

I am unironically being paid to do it! My experience is Haskell is one of those ecosystems that has a greater talent pool than there are available positions. I feel like cost of maintenance is pretty nice because you have less bugs. You may

Much like in English you can pull out lots of vowels and still read the text, you can cover up the about bottom 40% of the characters in a sentence and still read it.

The nice thing about Chinese is information density of writing. Something nice about seeing how much information can be squeezed into a small space. Feels like you front load more on the learning side, but get rewarded when reading and scan

I think another part is that materialism, determinism and science have (seemingly) given us great understanding and control of our environment and overturned lots of superstitious and erroneous ideas that society has. So if you accept mater

Well, I also like that my neighbors and community also have access to no-pay-at-point-of-use healthcare, low cost education options and guaranteed time off. Makes for a relatively relaxed and content population! If you don't invest in

Vocabulary difference is a huge issue though. Korean and Japanese grammar is very different from Chinese, but the shared vocabulary (of Chinese origin) makes it easier to learn one of them if you already speak another one. Also incentives a

That's a big hypothetical. Mapping companies are not the arbiters of where borders exist. Knowledge of where de facto borders are is pretty useful for directions.

It is a concern because presumably most people in office jobs are going to need to be able to use these tools, but I am somewhat comforted to know one language that AI systems do not understand well yet because of lack of texts. However, I

It's honestly not a bad idea to have footwear dedicated to certain spaces. I support the idea of office slippers.

Thanks for the insight. I've had a similar experience with using Haskell. It is a smaller pool of developers, but they tend to be higher quality on average.
