You're conflating two very different things. The lockdowns are instituted at the state level, are different in every state, and are with the specific aim of (and in response to) preventing covid transmission. Adhering to a public healt

I encourage you to keep at it a bit more. Lots of folks are put off by the initial "more rational than thou" style of the main character, but what's not immediately apparent is that the book is partially a critique of this ki

I've been wondering that, thank you! That's very cool.

That was actually quite helpful, thank you. Guess I'm a HN 10,000er today.

The key difference seems to be restructuring the course to include EBM (Energy Based Models). From the README: I thought I was going to repropose the same practica I've used during NYU-DLSP20, last year edition, just in different orde

I've been playing around with designs for a "learn X together" site/service. The StudyWeb seems to be an emergent phenomenon across existing social media platforms, with an intense focus on helping young students pass th

There's quite a lot on sites like fanfiction.net and (the newer) Archive of Our own ( https://archiveofourown.org/ ), and RoyalRoad. I've read millions of words of web serials posted on these sites, and would happil

Have you read The Eyre Affair? A quirky, humorous, combination of Jane Eyre with a scifi world obsessed with literature. Lots of fun.

I would love to beta test such a thing. My number one current frustration with programming languages is my inability to represent core language concepts / objects in a 2D space. There's constant overhead mapping from my internal s

Thank you for this. As someone who lived through the hellish airscape of last year's Australian bushfires, and spent quite a bit of time discussing, advising, and publicizing air quality concerns, efforts like this are sorely needed. A

Since this feels like it's responding to the common wisdom /advice to "follow your passions" (and the fear that comes from missing out on this), I recommend reading Cal Newport's "So Good They Can't Ignore

Orthodox (and broadly, "Rabbinic") Judaism place equal weight on the "Oral Torah" – a set of evolving traditions and insights which orbit the written books in vast and intricate constellations. To deny the validity of th

Hi Andy, thank you for doing this. I've been checking your Twitter feed daily to see when this is released. I love the direction of your research and am really excited to see how Orbit develops. I've been experimenting with integr

I'm sorry I don't know of any particular singular resource you can check out (I know they exist, but I can't think of a good one off the top of my head), though feel free to email me and I will happily answer any question you

The Orthodox view is that primacy is given to the present Rabbinic interpretations (and extensions) of the law beyond the literal meaning of the Biblical canon (called "Tanakh", which includes the 5 books of Moses as well as the w

Both of the cases you mention are still 'seriously trying to follow the precepts' (for many Jews, at least). A lot of (Orthodox) Jews seem to have this idea that an Eruv is this big wink-wink-nod-nod loophole which blatantly circu

Take a look at: Understanding Computation: From Simple Machines to Impossible Programs by Tom Stuart. It's pretty much "computation theory for the everyday programmer". It uses Ruby to implement things like Turing Machines

Would you be willing to speak a bit more about your experience there? I work on non-profit tech education, and am curious about effective/successful bootcamps. (My email is in my profile.)

Could you comment a bit more about Trilogy? From what I understand, they provide a bootcamp as a service to be offered by other institutions, such as universities around the world. Do you have any personal experience of their deception or l

We do something similar for our teaching materials. All lessons are in Jupyter notebooks, as well as cells with inline unit tests, marked with the special comment `# HIDE CELL`. A build script then runs the full notebook along with tests, a

I'm hoping deno can lead to a good Electron alternative, in the same spirit and philosophy. I'm currently working on an app and would love to ditch a bunch of the node specific tooling for the deno alternative.

Thank you! I will definitely get it once that change is deployed.

The book looks like exactly something I'd like to read... except that line height is a huge turnoff. It runs counter to most readability guidelines, and makes it feel like the book size was artificially inflated. (That being said, I lo

I saw blessed, thank you, but the last commit was in 2016, and I'm a bit wary of a JS library with that level of activity.

by pugio 6y ago
Does anyone know of a similar library for node which does this? I've decided to make my next app TUI first, and then only add in a GUI much later, but I haven't seen anything that looks nearly as good as rich.

Definitely check out Ted Chiang's "The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling" (fiction short story) for a really fascinating take on just that idea.

I still feel mental friction when contemplating anything to do with "regression" because the word doesn't seem to capture what the technique(s) (e.g. linear, logistic) actually do. I have looked into the historical context an

That spatial canvas organization is the closest thing I've ever seen to my dream coding space. The 1-dimensionality of a linear string of code always seemed like it ignored so much of the brain's processing abilities. I first noti

Thank you for this. I've recently been enjoying the Kingslingers podcast (in-depth read-through of Stephen King's Dark Tower series), and have been actively looking for other read-along analyses of good books. At least for Kingsli
