   Looks like an interesting project! However: when I clicked for the “simple explanation”[1] as a starting point, I found a site that is almost impossible to use on mobile. 1. https://www.lisandrokaunitz.com/index.php/en&

   I’m also curious whether this is legal in the Netherlands. Certainly strange that it’s encouraging me to check on my neighbors to see what they’ve downloaded.

   I don’t think Lucian has needed to moderate yet, it’s been a small and positive community afaik.

   I’m building a platform to host my book club online due to covid, and I think that I can generalize my solution to reinvent MOOC’s and possibly further areas of communication.

   Thanks very much for submitting this and to the commenters offering advice. I’m also trying to come back after a gap and finding it very discouraging. The positive comments here are really helpful to change my mindset and get back a positiv

    I had a vague recollection of some controversy about the author, and ended up finding this piece: https://www.cjr.org/the_feature/chris_arnade_journalism_phot... > Arnade’s work has raised the ire of a variety of pe

    Funny, I just took the night jet to get to my Christmas destination. We decided that the hassle of getting a toddler on a plane was much more work, and even driving requires frequent breaks. The train was pleasant, although the quality of s

    > I don’t remember the last time I was sold something I didn’t want from it That’s kind of the point of this type of misdirection: they use less than honest tactics to make you feel good about your choice. You’ll never know what alternat

    If I could broaden the question - what have you found useful of the well-known data structures that a self-taught dev may not be fully aware of?

    I experienced an extremely simple (and IMO effective) version of this. For a dba-adjacent job, I sat down with a dba and was shown how to connect to a sql server instance and change some particular setting. At the end of our hour of discuss

    I haven't, and can't say for certain whether or not I've come across it yet. Downloading the audiobook as I type this.

    The great thing about books is that they not only provide knowledge, but can provide some course of action. The book is both - an intro of "look how awesome you can be without the tech", a detox plan, and a plan to deliberately re

    This looks great! I'm looking forward to going through it to look for next steps for some Twitter scraping I've been doing. If the author happens to see this, one tiny feedback: it would be very helpful to add the chapter titles t

    Can anyone vouch for the stats books? I took stats in undergrad but I do need a refresher if I want to do any real data science. 15 books is a big commitment, but I’ve really been enjoying Fluent Python as I’m trying to go from beginner to

    I don’t think it’s rational to compare to overall highway vehicle fires. Wouldn’t you want to compare against similar luxury vehicles of a similar age?

    To be fair to Atwood, there was a lot of junk sci fi over the years that she would want to distance her work from.

    Yes that’s the book, although I got it very cheap through the Humble Python bundle which I think recurs periodically.
