This has a really convenient csv with all the available formats, etc.
I’m really,really tempted to create a SPLADE vectorization database of these textbooks. Especially in the context of Google search so heavily deteriorating.
Sad times. I think the move forward is curated search engines, but the Open Source community hasn’t budged much from YacY irt decentralized/federated search engines.
This article describes my classmates (thankfully not me) that I have encountered in college thus far. Not a great experience. Rather demoralizing.
If you didn’t plan to think or learn in college… then when?
This is a great resource to find CSAs (local farms that will provide food for you) near you!
Absolutely an important resource if you plan to buy local.
I have one of these near where I live. Buying directly from local suppliers is best, of course, but the discovery process can be painful.
In that regard, these stores are, at minimum, really great for finding local food near you! They also tend to have some nonstandard stuff in general.
This is such a fascinating capsule of ideology/philosophy.
It also is a great overview of the various ways the tech industry as-is tries to screw you over.
This is my favorite overview of the intrinsic rot at the heart of the crypto industry.
This is something I’m considering as an alternative to, for instance, VooCode for VsCode.
I use Helix editor, and there’s no real LLM support built into it (it’s a traditional modal editor).
I’m not wholly convinced on AI agents for code use, since I like being able to fully comprehend the code I’m making, but it’s nice to have an option if I’m going that route.
Really useful compiler explorer that supports a myriad of languages and assembly targets. I’ve been taught MIPS so that’s some of the most useful for me irt reference.
Ugh, I wish messaging apps supported SVG format.
Think: Instead of using OCR you could simply select from the underlying text!
You could also press the links, etc.
SVGs are also just significantly smaller than images in size, anyhow.
I know there are security concerns, but I’m sure that’s a solvable problem with an intentionally limited subset of the SVG format, or such.
Fascinating peak into both past and also the Unix culture. It was originally made in the mid 1980s.
Really neat to have this annotated version!
This is really important, and I was thinking about the necessity of this.
It’s too easy to get exhausted documenting all the bs this administration has been doing. So it’s nice to have a site for documentation!
Let’s see where this goes.
I use this instead of Python scripts (for one, because I really hate Python).
It’s also just a really convenient way of working with the data on my linux system. I even used this to narrow down my semester enrollment choices!
Great cheatsheet for various programming languages.
One of my favorite webcomics of all time. The art is so interesting and the plot is nonlinear and includes obscure references to linux, bsd, gnu, plan9, etc.
This is actually so fun, and I’d love to have an efficient system that leverages this for actual tasks and work.
This is just so frickin’ cool. I wonder if somebody could make this work with LLVM’s IR.
If that happened, we’d be able to make magic circle visualizations of the vast majority of compiled programming languages!
I need this soooo badly.
From the creators of “This is a teenager”, comes this neat little visualization. I like this publications content!
