1. Caret (https://caret.io/) for taking notes. It's a simple Markdown note taker with some really nice features. It outputs plain .md files and works with folder.
2. All my Markdown file are in a folder synced on Dropbox.
3. I use a custom Alfred workflow which uses riggrep to search very quickly through the notes.
One thing to mention is that I want my stack to be private, so this doesn't publish anything to the web but it does sync.
I'm building an online community of rappers, lyricists, and producers to write and share rap songs, collaborate, learn how to freestyle, improve their craft, etc.
Tech + creative tools (natural language processing, lyrical analysis, etc.) + community = best place to get better at making hip hop.
This is a side project for me, but it's been going pretty well recently and I've gotten excited about it. I'm looking for anyone that would like to help.
1. Love the tutorial, super simple and I loved how you introduced harder concepts like linking blocks later on.
2. The objective is clear and challenging right from the get-go, as opposed to introducing levels, the game just naturally kind of gets harder.
3. After introducing the timer that's when I was like "oh shit just got real" and I felt that pressure made it more fun
You think you've done a bunch of things right here. Nice work.
I've been writing Ruby for a few years on a number of production applications.
Recently I've had to pickup Hack for work, and if there's one thing I really like about it is the type hinting. The best part is that it helps you handle nullable types (not sure if it's done here).
When I switch back to Ruby from Hack, I find it harder to reason about my program.
I guess all modern IDEs can be considered unified at this point, but the idea is that all the tools and integrations are part of it - including the build process, typechecker, etc.
Before you would have to run all these in the background + have your IDE open (ie. Sublime Text).
Of course Sublime Text has plugins itself now too, but you get the idea.
I think another important point is that Hackathons are what you make it.
I like going to them to meet new people and try out a new idea. If I want to fall asleep, I can. I'm not "forced" into doing anything I don't want to do.
I usually work 14 hours or so, go to sleep, wake up, shower, then work again - doing this for 2 or 3 days hardly makes me feel like crap or messes with my sleep schedule.
I've read similar posts about writing everyday, and I decided to pick it up a little over a year ago.
I quickly realized that as a student my day's were simply not that interesting and my entries looked more and more like "went to school. studied. went home. slept."
Instead I started writing every week.
This is much more manageable and forces you to take time to reflect on your life. I look forward to writing every week.
I now have the last year of my life documented in these entries (by the way, I create a filter and email them to myself with the subject line Write: MM/DD/YYYY) and it's SO rewarding to go back and read them. It really doesn't take that long - maybe less than 30 minutes per entry.
I agree - I use Reddit and I was still confused for a little while. I ended up finding another site [0] that did a similar thing and they explained it well.
"monitor all new comments, submission titles and self-texts
posted to reddit for a word or phrase."
I've been watching Soylent for a while now, including following the different home-brew recipes[1].
The verdict is still out on whether you can actually live off this stuff. If you're curious about the experience, there have been a number of journalists who have gone on the stuff for a short period and wrote about it. [2][3].
EDIT: To clarify, there haven't been any long-term studies that I found on living off a nutritional shake like this and the effect that it has on your overall health. It's akin to the same stuff they feed people who won't/cannot feed themselves[4] except a lot cheaper and (hopefully) tastes better.
Neat concept, I rather enjoy the website design. However when I'm looking for reaction gif, I use the album I've bookmarked on IMGUR which is already hand curated by Reddit.
