• Help…I’m slightly embarrassed to post this…but could anyone look at my profile and let me know if there are any “newbie red flags”. I’ve fallen in love with Python and decided to post projects from the classes I’ve taken. I’ve got more advanced projects to post and still have some project cleaning!

  If you are learning things, you could also create github gists. That way your repos will only be coding related, while you can create tutorials / work exercises in gists. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best Practice for keeping a library of code/functions to reuse in future projects

  I use Github, both for full repos and for short gists. Source: about 2 years ago

• Flutter Challenges: Challenge 02

  On the other hand, shared DartPads are just gists on GitHub so theoretically they can include code that works with different packages. Of course, such gists will not compile in DartPad and will be displayed as having errors :(. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best way to make notes about coding?

  Perhaps github gists? https://gist.github.com/discover. Source: over 2 years ago

• Some information that may be useful on the *nature of the problem* posed by the pandemic and SARS-cov-2 virus

  I looked at Github gists, but they are focused in displaying the markdown sourcecode (so e.g. Hyperlinks won't be clickable [1] ). Options just don't seem to be focused on simply hosting PDFs/information with clickable references. Source: over 2 years ago

• More Itertools

  You can implement most of itertools in Javascript, though making it perform well is another story. For instance, https://observablehq.com/@jrus/itertools. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Modos Paper Monitor Pre-Launch on Crowd Supply

  Curious to see whether more recent dithering approaches would produce better results. They don't even have to be more resource hungry than the classic Bayer or Floyd-Steinberg dithers! Interleaved Gradient Noise[0][1][2] comes to mind as an alternative to Bayer, and it can even be approximated quite well with just 8-bit operations! Basically, use the following function to determine your threshold based on pixel... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• I'm writing a new vector search SQLite Extension

  Could this be implemented in Rust? Does that project (sqlite-loadable-rs) support WASM? https://observablehq.com/@asg017/introducing-sqlite-loadable-rs. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: An extension to track your Wikipedia adventures

  Have you tried out a tangled-tree visualization? [1] I've found it to be super useful when visualizing these sorts of relationships in a compact way. [1] https://observablehq.com/@nitaku/tangled-tree-visualization-ii. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• A feature-rich front-end drag-and-drop component library

  Maybe I'm easy to impress, but I always stop and play around with the nested tree example when I come across Sortable. It works so flawlessly, and feels very tuned to mobile dnd. It even works to arrange (and reflow) inline spans in a paragraph! I have yet to come across this functionality in a text editor..
