Not OP, but got the same laptop. "Jumpy trackpad" [1] and "stuck key" [2] problems are the ones I feel most. They should have been fixed by the latest firmware (apparently still in 2015) but I can still experience them s

Quite useful indeed! If I may, I'd love to see references for each concept. I appreciate anyone can look "sample space" or "parametric inference" up on Google, but it'd take some time to find some authoritative

Great initiative! Are you considering setting up a blog / github page / anything to keep track and coordinate the effort? I'm asking because though I'd love to help I know I won't be able to commit to it full-time.

Interesting that no one has mentioned Google Keep - it works for me, mostly because it's available for both Android and IOS and as a web service. I have to admit syncing is not always perfect, though. Just curious, any particular reaso

It is a bit hard to follow the listings as they don't use a monospaced font. A part from that, very detailed and useful article.

An interesting read on the subject, although not exclusively focused on multi-tasking, mostly US-centric and at times a bit wordy, is "The Organized Mind" ( https://amzn.com/0147516315 ) by Daniel J Levin, a profes

Could you give examples of things you've done and the HN posts that triggered them, please? I'm familiar with the feeling you describe (They can? Then I can too!) so I'm just curious to see what is in those posts that can ins

I agree on all points, and can vouch for this approach: Thoughtfully approaching recruiters allows you to see who is actually worth keeping in touch with. In fact this is what I do, too. While there are some rude/inefficient/untru

Well, both 'Browser' and 'CSS' appendices are just 'blah'. And 'Further Reading' just goes 404.

I'm surprised - Did you ask them how do they search for patterns? Entries in log files, function definitions or usage in code, matching files in a shell?

I think it depends on how you live it. I remember that doing ./config failed, and I honestly had no clue in the beginning. So, while some friends of mine suggested that I abandon Linux and use Windows "because it works, and you do

I remember being introduced to Linux by our programming TA, who used to come at classes with the 'You need Python' t-shirt (it was early '00s for me). "So you don't need to reboot after installing a program?" -

My 2c: - It must be ultra lightweight: fast when starting up, fast when handling load of tabs, just fast. - Doing _one single thing_ exceptionally well: enable the user to browse. Built-in modularity means add-ons/plug-ins/etc can

Would be awesome if it could be used with nosetests. I've just given it a spin but nosetests seems `overpowering` the profiler.

I'm reading "Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++" and one of the first programs illustrated is actually a calculator. Being new to parsers in general, I love to see how two different approaches work: in the book th
