I've been using Deepnote for a while and highly recommend it. I love the features and they have also built a great community.

Github's jupyter rendering doesn't work for me most of the time so I am using Deepnote viewer these days.

Check out my published article that I wrote using Deepnote a while ago - https://deepnote.com/@tj/The-Starry-Cat-7HRaWnp8QhWYeK_x_QLD...

All the comments here are praising Bezos/Amazon as if they are some kind of Gods at innovation and yet Kindle has completely destroyed and crippled innovation in eBooks. They've so much potential but due to Amazon's monopoly, we're still stuck in the 90s when it comes to eBooks.

Churn rate is a more realistic measure than onboarding rate. Only time will tell :)

I don't. And most millenials don't use it unless they are extroverts. But we make a small percentage of their audience.

Take a look at boomer WhatsApp in India. Every single boomer shares stories with images of Gods or daily morning blessings, where they went, what they cooked etc.

Signal won't be able to make even a dent in WhatsApp's empire.

WhatsApp isn't just a messaging app. With its stories and statuses, it's a mini social network in and of itself.

Beyond the HackerNews crowd, most people don't care about privacy. They care about features. Signal won't be able to compete with WhatsApp unless it builds some of those features into its app.

Edit - HackerNews crowd seems to get tunnel visioned when it comes to tech products. Every response below is something on the lines of "I don't use stories" or "None or my contacts use stories".

I don't use stories either. And most millenials don't use it unless they are extroverts. But we make a small percentage of their audience.

Take a look at boomer WhatsApp in India. Every single boomer shares stories with images of Gods or daily morning blessings, where they went, what they cooked etc. The network effects are too strong. Nobody wants to miss out on the stories of their grandchildren's birthday or their nephew's marriage.

Even I wish that there was an en-masse migration from WhatsApp to Signal. But that's just a HackerNews pipe dream. Not happening.

Is google able to track you if you use !g via ddg?

Yeah like what @encom mentioned below. I don't know about others but for me* it was a complete disaster. Your hands are always in one place. The posture is very similar to the posture that is required when lifting a single dumbbell with both hands. Hands are side-by-side and your hands sort of form a triangle. This posture also causes shoulders to hunch forward to make up for the hands stuck close together.

Sure. It might work really well for everyone. Not for me. I am going back to normal typing once I heal. It wasn't really that bad. Just a few errors here and there and slightly slower typing.

More people need to realise this and be cautious of such fads. I got caught up into the whole touch-typing hype and continued typing in that awkward posture for 3 months straight more than 12 hours a day and didn't stop even when my hands, shoulders and neck started hurting due to the awkward posture that's caused by touch-typing.

I am in the worst pain of my life right now. Absolutely regret it. Sure the error rate is slightly higher and you type slower. Atleast you won't be f*cked with RSI.

Is that your blog? Thanks for sharing your perspective

I am curious. How does protein intake affect mental health?

Tangential question: What password manager do you guys use?

Lol. This is exactly what I was thinking the other day. Everyone is churning out new notetaking tools as if we don't have enough already.

This is my biggest struggle right now. I am very similar in "nature" to you and the OP you replied to. I just cannot get myself to do hard things ONLY because they are hard. I am young and struggling to find my way. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I have always thought something is wrong with me. But maybe I am just wired that way. I can still immerse myself in really hard things but only if I enjoy it.

any recommendations for games related to Computer Science, Data Structures, Algorithms, etc.? I have already tried human resource machine and 7 billion humans, but got bored after a while?
