Someone put it on Melpa. `M-x package-install sicp`, then open the info directory node (with `C-h i`) and search for "SICP".

Interesting article. I agree that subtle animations can improve my mental model of how an application works. But I hate stuff like this:

  In some cases, we could even ditch the text completely, relying on our animations to provide user feedback.

Indiegogo Heat: The world's first hot sauce crowdfunding platform. https://learn.indiegogo.com/heat/

Woah! this is nuts

"NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has measured a tenfold spike in methane, an organic chemical, in the atmosphere around it and detected other organic molecules in a rock-powder sample collected by the robotic laboratory's drill."

Was Vim a complete rewrite of Vi?

I'll concede that Kenji (the food lab author) definitely has a hacker-ish point of view when it comes to cooking, but I feel like we may be diluting the content of HN with a french fry recipe. Maybe everyone just loves fries?

Oh and for the record, I'm a huge Food Lab fan and have been a regular reader for some time... But I think that this Cook's Illustrated recipe beats Kenji's fries (and it's way easier too): http://deep-fried.food.com/recipe/easier-french-fries-cold-o...

Neat, first time I've seen Computer Modern outside of a TeX'd pdf. It looks quite nice on your site.

Also... an interesting read, thank you :)

The East Bay is very close. Anyone getting funded in Oakland/Emeryville?

My friends in Portland and New York seem to think things aren't quite as "crazy" out there.

We're currently using 3.2.13, but we have a bit of Rails 2-esque code mixed in too.

Great work iterating! Keep it up.

You might consider changing your banner's background color to something more "minty" like #45E488. It seems more you.

As someone who has never met you, I feel 100% qualified to say this.

    # Hah, I have almost the exact same thing in my bash_profile
    up () {
        TIMES=${1:-1};

        for ((i=1; i<=$TIMES; i++));
        do
            cd ..
        done
    }

EDIT: Although now I'm looking at it and it looks like I made a strange choice with `TIMES=${1:-1};`. Oh well, I think it was my first bash script... it's funny to look back at the hack-y crap that your bash_profile accumulates over time.

First off, don't get down on yourself about this! A lot of people struggle with internet addiction, and it's easy to turn it around. It just takes one step at a time.

Get rid of reddit and HN first, later you can tackle your blog and Github (as they are at least slightly productive).

If you can break that first impulse to visit these sites, it's a lot easier to control yourself. But you do need to make sure you're not using proxies or some other workaround to access the sites and that will take self control and some reflection.

Reddit: Reddit is nearly a complete waste of time these days. Block Reddit using your hosts file. I redirect reddit.com to localhost where I host a page that says "no reddit! get productive".

HN: Let yourself occasionally browse HN as it's not all trash like reddit. Set up anti-procrastination in your HN user preferences. Make sure to go with the most extreme settings.

two more tips: * Dont bring your computer into your bedroom. I set the power of my router to not provide internet in my room.

* As danso said, USE A TIMER!

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Crandall give a few intimate and very memorable physics seminars while I was attending Reed. He will be missed.
