Alternatively, you can watch one episode of Violet Evergarden once a week.

I always longed for a book/course on mathematics where topics are in chronological order:

1. ... (mathematical topics at the beginning of history of which I am ignorant of)

2. pythagoras theorem

3. ...

4. euclid geometry

5. ...

6. algebra

7. ...

8. calculus

9. ...

10. set theory

11. ...

12. number theory

13. etc. etc. (you get the point)

Maybe there's already something that lays out topics like this. I haven't searched too hard.

Anyone can recommend an alternative?

My use case is to simply setup the development environment when I cd into the folder (e.g., compiler, language server).

It seems to me that manually creating a flake.nix is the most sensible approach.

I guess this is similar to english: "I ain't no snitch", which is a double negative but is equivalent to its single negative counterpart.

I use README.org (emacs). Sadly, npmjs.com doesn’t consider it as a readme file.

Congrats on the 1.0! I've been using devenv.sh for all my personal and work projects and, aside for some 10+ year old legacy projects, it has been smooth sailing.

Thanks for the hard work!

Sorry for the newb question, I have a custom domain and have set up MX records, etc., to point to skiff.

Does anyone know how to switch these out to point to another provider, e.g., purelymail/fastmail/proton, without downtime? I mean I would not like to miss emails during the transfer. Is that even possible?

IvanK_net is most likely the author of Photopea.

> BTW. I am tolerating the ad-blockers for now. But you should not apply any "cracks" to my source code to allow people use my Premium features (full-screen interface) for free. That is basically the same as piracy, and you are facilitating it.

Does this mean Google/YouTube/any other platform that has advertisement or is functionally affected by ublock origin could sue them over piracy grounds? Perhaps another legal framework? Why hasn't this happened yet? Is the reason the same/similar to how YouTube tolerates youtube-dl?

b0afc375b5 — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 10:09:57 +0000

To give additional context, turbo just removed TypeScript. Here is the rationale https://world.hey.com/dhh/turbo-8-is-dropping-typescript-701...

This is the PR to remove it https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/971

This is the PR to merge it back (backlash?) https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/972

Typo, I think you meant 29+. 28 doesn't have treesitter and all the goodies you mentioned.

I have a similar goal as you. Initially I tried reading "How to Prove It: A Structured Approach" but I only got so far, mostly because I decided to prioritize upskilling and getting a new job first.

There's also a relevant hackernews post[0], and one of the suggestions there was "Proofs: A Long Form Textbooks by Jay Cummings".

Holy ####. This reminds me of my previous software developer job when we were supposed to go to South Korea for God knows what[0]. The reason why we had to go there wasn't really explained well to me, and I didn't care enough to ask because I was just excited to go to another country. In the end our application was denied by the embassy, and I always felt a bit disappointed by that.

Perhaps the possibility of my case being sinister is miniscule, but maybe I shouldn't feel too disappointed.

Yes. I have this sudden urge to look for the ad close (x) button for some reason. I think it's the lack of a solid border, or box-shadow, or perhaps the lack of padding of the images. I'm not really sure.

I'm not sure what you mean by graybeard, but I started developing software 5 years ago. Started using emacs 3 years ago (magit). Wrote my own 1000 line emacs config 1 year ago.

I'm in my late 20s.
