I agree that I will probably never use these notes to go back and actually learn anything. I did this scanning project because I wanted to shred the paper and be rid of it, but I felt I should keep it digitally because it's so cheap an

My favorite pen is the Uniball Vision Micro. Not the "Elite" model, but the base model sometimes called the "Eye" in some regions. I've been using these for maybe 14 years? And I've got three dozen more in my d

I actually can't remember that well, but I don't think I used anything special. There might have been a few courses where I just used a paper folder with simple pockets inside, and some courses where I used a three-ring binder wit

Desktop PC, my most recent reboot was a few days ago but the previous was 108 days before. The worst part about rebooting is catching up on all the Chrome updates that I don't want -- most recently the one that removes the bottom downl

No, it seems the adblock-blocker has not started affecting their embedded video player yet, which is my primary viewing method. In a sense, it has increased my usage, because I've started archiving a whole bunch of videos with youtube-

I found this video in another HN thread, and thought it was worth its own submission. It's a captivating talk about the computer chips we all take for granted. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37724225

I absolutely disagree. Romanized Korean is harder to read than Korean itself. The sounds implied by the roman spelling do not match the sounds you're supposed to make, and you lose the syllable boundaries that aid in pronunciation. I f

The mandatory 2FA thing bothered me, but I hooked it up with Aegis, which is FOSS on F-droid, and decided it wasn't the final straw yet. But Github's distasteful AI marketing/desperate pandering is bothering me a lot more. Th

I think mhb's point is that the size of the request content is so small, it can be compared byte-for-byte directly instead of hashing and comparing hashes. Many of us have a kind of muscle memory where we always hash everything for com

Yes, I do want to read about that, because it tells me that this is an article I do not want to click on. As a reader I do not want to contribute to the analytics and click count of a website that uses these engagement tactics.
