Things I like

I wanted to make this page some kind of a personal curated aggregator.

In no particular order:

• Hoppscotch
  and Bruno
  – Development environments for API work.
• Grist
  – Spreadsheet-database combo. Perfect for when you've been worrying if we're ever getting lambdas/named fn's in mainstream.
• Bartosz Ciechanowski
  – Things from first principles all the way.
• Curta
  – Pocket mechanical calculator
• Crontab.guru
  – Human-Cronese translator
• The Socratic Method
• Coolors
• regex101
• Operating system mockups
  – I find it charming people do these things. Got to spare an evening or two to tell why.
• Marcin Wichary
  – Design and typing and keyboards, oh my.
• Anki
  – Spaced repetition. Plus, a way to ever-so-slightly gamify rote memorization.
• The case of the 500-mile email
• Programming thought experiment: stuck in a room with a PC without an OS
• Obsidian
  – Markdown-powered GTD app. Proudly credited with breaking me out from NIH zeal.
