I find it a mix. There are days where the complexity is fun, there's (most) other days where I just need coffee before a day of complexity at work.

I like the BBC foreign language news (particularly Spanish)

It also only lasts 5 years so you need surgery every 5 years to replace it

I was trying to figure out why the New Yorker would care about data streams

they do embed Ads into your gif searches... however, who knows what is happening to ad spend in these Covid times.

I believe the "self-paced" version is still in Scheme. I did it a couple years ago and it was awesome.

The final project was changed to a python interpreter in Scheme which I thought was fantastic.

Elo (it's a name, not an abbreviation) refers to a certain calculation method of rating. Lichess uses a glicko2 rating system.

You can't really compare ratings from across websites or groups like FIDE since the pools are so different.

Most bicycle people including myself feel that way. However, what I like about this attempt to make bikes safer (ie turn signals and the like) is that it might make people who don't feel safe on a bike actually ride their bike. Bikes for everyone!

especially if you're going from WC to Menlo Park. That's an hour each way without traffic

trizzle21 | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Take home interview project – is this ok?

I have less experience (~2 years), but I tend to use these projects to add to my projects page on my portfolio and I try to add something to each project that I don't already know, like Typescript or such.

That being said, I think they're a massive waste of time, especially positions that don't exist or that they already had decided against you. I've had two of them in the last two months both of which didn't lead to phone interviews.

Is there a suggested version for react? I know there are react versions out there, but I haven't had the time to look into them.
