One issue I faced with all the whisper based transcript generators is that there seems to be no good way to make editing/correcting the generated text with word level timestamp. I created a small web based tool[0] for that.
By any chance if anyone is looking to edit transcripts generated using whisper, you'd probably find it useful.

Basically it's very badly written elisp code that populates the same org file with metadata like week number etc. and then I have a custom hugo layout for writing out the weeks into posts.
All of this is tied together by https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo

it's the same thing right?
- Quick link/media share: throwaway telegram channel. I tried taildrop which is super nice too, works from the terminal but telegram has its own bookeeping and i don't have to handle the link/media immediately
- Data/notes sync: syncthing
- kvm: tried using usb over ip and leap-input, doesn't work mostly because wayland
For knowledgebase, i stationed myself on my laptop, so anything that needs to be added goes to my throwaway telegram and then when i am back at my laptop, i put it the way i want.
this is mostly wack but works for me
For total beginners the quicker they can get into mathematical thinking/programmatic thinking the better, so whatever makes that fast for the batch is good imo. Also +1 if it can spark more curiosity about what's about to come.
Also I think the most important aha is when you can see the difference between an implementation and the original idea and then you see the same idea implemented differently in different places, being able to see the abstract things gives a confidence boost
If they've done stuff, getting hands dirty is the way to go with something like https://bradfieldcs.com/csi/ syllabus.
if not looking for fast paced stuff, better to sit down, checkout what kind of jobs/work they look forward to doing once the preparation/study phase is over, reverse engineer the job description of relevant companies into the comp sci fundamentals and then go from there.
around the same time, i randomly visited some startupfair here locally and made friends w some folks, then one guy asked if i read hackernews, i said yea yea ofc. (not the one he was asking about)
later that night, i was wondering why that guy asked me about hackernews he was not even into security. So i looked up hn, and since that night, this site keeps on giving.
taught by the creator of webtorrent afaik
Good developers thrive on ?
I created something(1) very similar few days back with the idea that a break for entertainment should not result in doom scrolling. Currently it has time progress, music station and cards.Would probably add todo and more personalization later.
It boils down to capture, consume, execute and share.
Shameless plug for a similar project that i did few years back: A (partial) static site generator based on github issues :) https://github.com/geekodour/gitpushblog
(converted INR to USD) The initial specs were ($730) - 4GB RAM - i5-8250U (8) @ 3.400GHz - 1 TB HDD
I decided to upgrade to 480GB SSD and 12GB RAM as it has two memory slots. The upgrade cost me $120
I am running arch linux on it and it's pretty smooth.
The only downsides are: Display is not FHD and the Keyboard is not backlit. (The models here in India do not seem to have them, but I really needed one as my current laptop was almost unusable.)
