+1 for Typora. I've been using it for maybe 5 years (it feels like that at least) and it hasn't let me down.

Like others, I have single file and a section for each week containing all my tasks. Then I move the unfinished ones down to the next week at the end.

It's easy to sync those files in git of course.

I'd say the full quote to be, "Luckily, even without JVM support, the Scala compiler can perform tail-call optimisation in some cases. The compiler looks for certain types of tail calls and translates them automatically into loops."

This wouldn't be actual TCO in that case.

Silly question, what other applications would work for rim-driven turbines work? The naive side of me wants to see how it would work on a plane.

Since some people were asking on how to get started with Erlang, some time ago this MOOC was posted on HN for an intro to learning Erlang/functional programming.

What I liked about it is that it assumes you have an imperative programming background so it isn't entirely like learning at a very slow pace (which leads me to lose interest): https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-e...

The next course after this is on the concurrency part of Erlang which is also on FutureLearn that I'm currently taking. It has video clips from Joe Armstrong teaching concurrency (one of the creators of the language).

In our job application frontend we don't even require logins or passwords. Only after you have finished your application and confirmed the privacy agreement we send an email with a confirmation link, only then you can add a password to follow the progress of the application, but even that is optional.

I noticed smartrecruiters.com follow this format and it was such a pleasant experience using it.

Curl vs. Wget 10 years ago

wget was the first one I learned how to use by trying to recursively download a professor's course website for offline use, and then learning that they hosted the solutions to the assignments there as well..

I did well in that course, granted it was an easy intro to programming one. ;)

This is cool. For one of my internships, every time I learned something I wrote it out with a 'TIL' prefixed and put it in our group chat.

At the end of the internship, I grepped the logs for all those lines but never found anything useful worth re-visiting. :)

Looks very clean, nice work! Although, I can't see myself using it. A simple example[1] of plotting a graph on Nimble shows only the first "card" of information which is pretty useless, but on WA it shows more relevant data[2] that I was looking for.

Also, the extracted app size is ~100MB large for a indicator that does so little. I'm guessing it's because of the bulk from Electron or some other shell app.

Side note: right-clicking it to automatically quit is very confusing.

It has the form of a podcast that was transcribed to text. Yes, it would have been easier to follow if it was all audio.

It took me a few to realize when the conversation was changing from the narrator to Snowden.
