Sheepzezon Ask HN: How do you version your data?

Thanks for the pointers! Definitely some interesting discussions there.

Sheepzezon Ask HN: How do you version your data?

Nessie looks really exciting! But being tied a particular data format isn't super appealing.

Sheepzezon Ask HN: How do you version your data?

Interesting, thanks! Is there any form of UI available for the self-hosted version (e.g. just data exploration)?

Sheepzezon Mapping in HTML – A Proposal for a New Element

I may be being naive, but how is that different than including Google Maps JS lib on your page? I assume that component is just a wrapper around the GMaps JS lib?

Sheepzezon The Importance of Reading as a Software Engineer

Hey, no I'm not famous in any way - just a lowly undergrad looking to get some views and feedback on my blog posts (I only recently started).

Your points are definitely fair, and I agree that the post could be better thought out and structured to give a more coherent argument. Thanks for the feedback.

Sheepzezon The Importance of Reading as a Software Engineer

I actually really like this hypothesis. There is definitely a distinction between long-form content and short-form content, and programming certainly lies in the former.

That's not to say that short-form content doesn't have its place, I'm pretty sure I would learn less if I didn't browse Reddit or HN during lunchtime, and for some reason I feel like reading a book wouldn't fit in that 15 - 30 minute period. But it's still a period I can put to use.

Sheepzezon The Importance of Reading as a Software Engineer

I was really just trying to show the point without saying "reading books will make you smarter/successful", but more to say that you may find it harder to be successful if you don't read.

Very interesting point! Might that indicate that people who are less well-read are 'capped' in some fashion?
