Thank you for this. I am planning to start teaching my 5-year-old mathematics now, just as I began teaching him to read when he was 2 years old. Now, he reads a lot, and his teacher has no difficulty explaining instructions during quizzes because he already knows how to read!
God, I miss that show. I completely forgot about Tyrell, I was mostly thinking of actual UNIX greybeards disguised as banking CTOs I've met earlier in my career :)
He's the author of Gnus. The news/email reader. It's a little crazy but a huge piece of work. Related to this was http://gmane.io/ which is a mailing list to NNTP gateway (so that they can be read using Gnus).
He wrote the Gnus news reader. Many years ago I found a bug in it on a Friday morning, I searched around and found out how to report it to him, by the afternoon of the same day he had notified me of a work around!
Thank you for this link, just reading the source of that document tells me I have a long way to go before I'm a good technical writer. It's just so wonderfully structured and makes great use of org export.
Compiler Construction Using Java, JavaCC, and Yacc[0]
In my opinion, this has been underrated book. I learned a lot from this book. I enjoyed it and plan to read it again.
If you could check it out. It contains solid explanation from theory to implementation. I'm not affiliated with the author, I just wanted to show I'm grateful for his work.
The book: Compiler Construction by Anthony Dos Reis explains very clearly about parsing. You'll be able to build you own regex parser. I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in learning compiler theory.
Since you mention that you like writing, and loves to swim to the ideas of others. I just thought that you should make notes on the ideas that you gathered. The related that idea to the other ideas. You need a system on how to organize those ideas.
After I read your post, I realized that you might be interested on how "Niklas Luhmann and his Zettelkasten" became a success.
You also might want to check the book: How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking by S. Ahrens
Zettelkastenp[0] has been mentioned a lot here in HN.
Software like notion, roam, emacs org-roam, obsidian, etc, can support this system.
I moved to DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in the past couple of weeks but a few days ago, I had gone back to google search because the search results are much better. I really wanted to move away from google but the service is just much greater compared to the alternatives.
You guys should try Brave Search (I'm not affiliated, just a user). If you like the speed of Chromium and the Blink engine, but you're dissatisfied with the Firefox/DDG combination, it's particularly good.
