Science based practices for a meaningful life

Interesting reference-manager-like application (i.e. "integrated reading environment").

Interesting features:

• incremental reading (showing & remembering progress per article, allowing bookmarking automation)
• annotation sidebar (automatic creation of color-coded annotation overview, a-la Adobe Reader)
• anki card sync (allows creation of cards directly from annotations and sync to anki, with back reference to annotation context)

Very in-depth deliberations on continually exporting data from various siloed services in pursuit of more holistic quantified self approach.

When I work on sql queries I usually start with a base query and edit as I go depending on the requirements, sometimes running the query and debugging. However, after being in a sql interview it seems like this approach doesn’t work the best for interviews as I frequently go down the wrong path before correcting myself, and especially not in situations where I can’t actually run intermediate queries.

What’s a good approach for working out a sql query in a structured way?

"CATMA
Computer Assisted Text Markup and Analysis"

allows content analysis, qualitative, quantitative, etc

Qualitative data analysis for text, images, audio, video. Cross platform. Python 3.6 or newer and PyQt5. - ccbogel/QualCoder

And switching from init.vim to init.lua

Nicely explained, going over both basics and some more intermediate ideas of switching to lua

An interesting zettelkasten approach that strives to be editor-agnostic, plain-text, and adaptible.

Its main draw seems to be the automatic creation of a zettel heteronomy, html publication, and extensive plugin possibilities.

"There are plenty of reasons why people who DO have the knowledge would not admit to it. By asking, you're asking for more than what you think you're asking.

You're asking people to take responsibility. You're questioning people's confidence in their abilities. You're also unnecessarily walling other people out. I often answer questions related to languages or libraries I have never used, because the answers are (in a programmer kind of way) common sense."

Hello, I recently got interested in statistics and wanted to read some books that would give me a good introduction to it.

I'm not looking for a book that goes more technical and teaches me about the different techniques, but I was hoping to find some book that talks about maybe what exactly is valid data, etc... more like meta-statistics? or more philosophical statistics?

I hope my question makes sense...

Thanks

Adding a rockpi as a network device to a host pc. I.e. networking over usb. Could be useful for low-latency vnc streaming.

Connecting ipad to raspberry (over usb vnc, so latency should be minimal) to enable a linux desktop experience (ssh or vnc).

Then connect a keyboard and you should be off to the races.

An incredibly thorough guide to online anonymity (and/or privacy) from laptop and phone handling through encryption to password and identity management.

Extensive hardening guide from kernel, firewalls, swap, to userspace and more, covering pretty much all eventualities

Most flexible solution to the problem should be some variation of:

find $DIRECTORY -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat --format '%Y :%y %n' | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

To switch between headphones and speakers in pulseaudio activated pc quickly:

pactl set-sink-port [YOUR AUDIO CARD] analog-output-headphones | analog-output-speakers

Stumbled upon this Fast API Tutorial and was surprised at how thorough this guy is. The link is part 21! Each part is dedicated to adding some small component to a fake cleaning marketplace API. It seems to cover a lot but some of the key takeaways are best practices, software design patterns, API Authentication via JWT, DB Migrations and of course FastAPI. From his GitHub profile, looks like the author used to be a CS teacher which explains why this is such a well thought out tutorial. I don't necessarily agree with everything since I already have my own established style and mannerisms but for someone looking to learn how to write API's this is a great resource.

Hi everyone,

I'm part of the team behind Zellij, and today we're very excited and proud to announce we've released a beta version!

This version should be relatively stable for every day use (we all use it ourselves :)) and includes a nice basic feature-set that we're iterating over and adding to.

If you'd like to read more, here's the announcement: https://zellij.dev/news/beta/

And here's a direct link to the repository: https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij

This release also includes the beginnings of our WebAssembly plugin system. You can read more about how to develop plugins in our documentation: https://zellij.dev/documentation/plugins.html

I hope you like the tool!
