He should post the ultimate "prove you are a psychic" challenge. People claiming to be "psychic" or such power, can get 100 million$ if they are right at finding the drive.

Was an engaging and overall excellent game. Big fan of Nicky Case and their work.

I believe, simple tools and explorables such as these can help understand human psyche much more than a volumes of monograph exploring human conditions. I think these game-based explorables will be big in the future for explaining deep and difficult concepts.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Reminds of how Meteor first started off with it's cool Pub/sub features. Watched the entire walkthrough, Kudos to you. Having worked in cache invalidation field, I know for sure that it's a hard problem.

The pricing is pretty cool. Free for non-commercial and <200k projects. I know what I will be hacking on tonight.

Kudos to the team

Apologies for my incredible disbelief, but you cannot just leave someone hanging by saying this and not expanding further.

Bukowski was an eccentric guy and often he used to contradict himself. This poem seems to encompass his life philosophy and which also happens to be written on his tombstone in just two words: "Don't try"

However, in his another poem, Roll the Dice, he presents something entirely different outlook on the subject of trying. And this is a poem I really admire.

  ROLL THE DICE

  -------------

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  Otherwise, don’t even start.

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe even your mind.

  It could mean not eating for three or four days.

  It could mean freezing on a park bench.

  It could mean jail.

  It could mean derision, mockery, isolation.

  Isolation is the gift.

  All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.

  And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.

  And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

  If you’re going to try, go all the way.

  There is no other feeling like that.

  You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.

  DO IT. DO IT. DO IT. All the way

  You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

I am the creator of a conversational learning platform called Primerlabs (https://primerlabs.io)

I wrote a free course on fundamentals of computing and Python that can get you up to speed on Python. Can you ask them to check it out of it works for them?

Will be happy to help out.

I used to take a large number of black coffee throughout the day. Otherwise just feel tired even though I am fully rested.

Recently started experimenting with nootropics as a replacement for coffee. Started L-theanine + caffeine capsules. Surprisingly, feel attentive throughout the day and better sleep at night too. Workout is better as well. Don’t know how long these effects will last. But for now, I have quit coffee for good.

This essay, which has helped fixing my initial mindset a lot, is directed for complete beginners.

The website OP mentions is for someone who already knows how to program well in one or more language and want to take a quick look at another language syntax.

When I was learning Racket, I really liked Beautiful Racket[0] by Mathew Butterick. The book is accessible, well structured and the web design & typography is outstanding (IMHO). The author created a Racket Package (Pollen) and used it to write this book. I have special admiration for craftsmanship and this book is certainly one of them.

> Anyone running an edtech company here? What do you use? Or do you build everything custom?

We created a LMS from scratch at Primerlabs.(https://primerlabs.io) Though it had different requirements, because we create conversational courses.

If you are starting with video based platform, I recommend not focusing on creating a LMS from scratch and use tools (zoom, google sheet/form) etc. based on your requirement and create small tools to fit as your grow. For community you can use discord or discourse.

Creating an LMS from the get go is time consuming and does little for your business. My 2 cents.

I usually use Manim for creating mathematical animations for some Mathematical courses I am writing. It’s a python library developed by the guy from 3b1b and it’s a joy to work with it.

I agree. Making a decent messaging app with privacy first, they need to make money somehow. I don't want them to go out of business. Though I hope, the ads are not right in your face like youtube does.

I remember playing Pokemon GB games on an emulator and would actively battle with lower level pokemons in the wild or other NPC trainers to level up my own pokemons. Though, I enjoyed it, for some reason.

I had been an avid latex note taker since my college days though I used Emacs Org Mode. I consider writing your own notes in the form of a well-typeset book extremely rewarding as it kind of forces you to distill concepts better. For instance, I would actively seek out additional historical origins of a formulae or an associated anecdote or analogy for helping others to better understand the concept. My motivation largely was to write in a way such that it would help others understand better.

This exercise inspired me to build my own learning platform from scratch that generates a latex-generated books at the end of course completion. The idea is to have interactive conversations while learning and at the end the personalized book is generated for you. You can see an example of personalized Python book here: https://tinyurl.com/3xfsunj9

You can see that the conversations between learner and Primer highlighted as red sprinkled throughout the book.

The learner doesn't need to write any equations or code examples as it is generated for them. They can further customize the notebook by adding notes or questions using prompts.[1]

Right now there are two free courses on the platform[2], and 5 more would be added by the end of the month. But the goal is create self-paced computer science degree.
