"In centuries past, scientists and mathematicians were limited in their ability to solve problems by their ability to understand the solutions. This bottleneck has been removed, and now there is no theoretical limit to the amount of scientific and mathematical factoids we can fail to understand."

Walden is a new CLI tool to hard-block websites.
Just yesterday someone asked me why Clojure. This article is exactly the answer I wish I'd had.

Your ebook highlights are trapped in proprietary formats. Kobo, Kindle, Apple Books, none make exporting easy. Data gets lost when devices break or platforms die. Liture is a free desktop app that imports and manage your highlights and notes locally.
A while ago I needed a place to manage all my ebook highlights and notes, offline. So I built 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. A free desktop app that imports your notes from Kobo, Kindle, and Apple Books in one place, with search, tags, favorites, and more. Check it out! → liture.co
Definitely deserves the fame. I played it on Switch and the new redrawn art gives it a fairly modern feeling.
Finally righted a wrong & played Braid (2008). I knew the general outline of the twist, but it was executed so well! I would have loved to have experienced it truly blind. Puzzles were great. Even for a game more than 15 years old they felt fresh and innovative. Cool stuff. Try Braid or whatever.
If only my compiler course had chosen Racket instead of Java.
My five-project (along with slides, video lectures, etc.) compilers course has all projects now available online free: kmicinski.com/functional-p.... Five projects have you incrementally build a compiler for a substantial language, including functions, mutation, loops, vectors, etc.
Reading SICP, I found fascinating that it introduces the notion of order of growth, using factorial and Fibonacci as examples, before even explaining what loops or variables are.
