Attached is a long article about a single, but useful reminder: you can use ssh to execute remote commands.

While I am on the topic of coding apps for kids, here's another useful list I found.

I was looking for an idea for an educational game for a 7 year old. I came across this article (attached) which has some good links.

Attached is an elegant new product (at least its prerelease documentation) to “publish a book” to the web. I believe it will be a single license software product that you get to deploy to a server, including a cloud server. There are of course numerous ways of doing this but 37signals.com’s stuff…

Linked is a package for creating user interfaces with Python. This is just a reminder to myself that it exists. It looks useful.

Flourish is a pretty amazing tool. Can’t wait to try it myself. Just click on the links and try it out.

Attached is a really useful tool. Episodes.fm simply searches “all” podcasts, like a google for podcasts. It is really fast!

I agree. But you know what I really want? A bash code generator. I want to have a tool that lets me create vanilla bash scripts from a higher level language. I’ve come to the conclusion that vanilla bash is in the end the cross platform lingua franca for all kinds of sysadmin type chores and…

The attached article severely dings the “python in excel” feature that was announced to great fanfare about a year ago. For me the headline is that Python in Excel is NOT a replacement for VBA. Rather it’s better to think of it as a replacement for the excel formula language.

The linked article goes in depth about ruff. Everyone loves ruff. Ruff is written in rust. Everyone loves rust. I think that last part is weird. Rust is a cool and interesting language but it is also pretty low level. Sure, for the user, rust programs tend to be very fast. But for the programmer,…

Attached is a handy site for creating templates for boxes and other containers. There are numerous of these. But this one is pretty nicely done.

The attached article takes a fairly contrarian view, basically advocating that all ruby methods should be public unless they have side effects. I can't say I agree with this, but his analysis is a good read and has some good insights.

Attached another huge collection of resources relating to robotics. There are some other libraries like this. This makes it difficult when you are searching for one thing or another. Still I thought I would include this here because this is a goldmine!

You might find something useful in the attached article. The big one for me is the explanation of what the -m flag does.

Attached is an insightful article showing the craziness of the government using apple messenger as the basis for going after apple for anticompetitive behavior. Put in historical context, it makes no sense!

The attached essay by Paul Graham gives his views on how someone can think about finding the right project to work on. Not a job but work that is their own. I love this quote: “What are you excessively curious about — curious to a degree that would bore most other people? That's what you're…

Quick glance at this site gives me the impression that this is a plausible alternative Wikipedia for less exhaustive explanations for how stuff works.

The attached article has some good advice regarding goal setting, strategy and prioritization.

The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…

The linked article is most interesting to me because I know Jim Storer. He’s a colleague at Brandeis University.
