My bad, fixed now!

I use curl as an example of a powerful and omnipresent tool that started really small. I am not advocating getting rid of curl.
yobibyte··on Self-reliant programmer manifesto
I agree! However in many cases, these edge cases (I'm not speaking of curl now) are not needed for my personal use. E.g. if I use linux/windows/os, I do not care about how my tool behaves on the other os, I do not want to support all kind of hardware etc. If I am the only users, I can prune these use-cases (and features I mentioned in the post) significantly. E.g. I reimplement a subset of vim at the moment, I do not use LSPs or syntax highlighting in my work, I do not need to implement support for them in my editor.
yobibyte··on How I use my terminal
I have a similar setup, but most of the functionality is coming from vim: grep/find, quickfix lists and temporary buffers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44282908

yobibyte··on Ask HN: Does the Framework laptop stand the test of time?
Got mine (13th Intel Core Ultra Series 1) and very happy with it.

Re modular ports, I don't think they are super useful after you've selected your configuration, but being able to have a custom port selection is very nice.

I am using Arch, btw, and everything has been working well so far. I thought there were some drivers issue, but turned out it was due to my bootloader setup (https://yobibyte.github.io/kernel_update.html)

yobibyte··on Ask HN: Do you backup your Emails?
I am using neomutt + mbsync that gets rsynced to my backup server once a week.

Thanks for such an extended reply!

It's probably hard to estimate an impact of reading outside of your field, but this definitely sounds like a good idea. A positive bonus here is that you get more exposure to how people write and talk about research in different areas, and I find it super useful. I've recently read about Curry-Howard correspondence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry%E2%80%93Howard_correspon...), and it was mind-blowing both in terms of what they talk about and how they talk about it.

On the negative side, it's often quite hard to understand only because the terminology is different.

Re Neural Turing Machines, there's been an interesting resurgence of the field working on algorithmic tasks (check out this amazing survey https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.09544).

> the biggest (and probably the only) beneficiary of such structured notes is the note-maker.

I would probably agree with the "biggest", but disagree with the "only": * The readers might use a note as an extended abstract when selecting a paper to read. This is like a short conference talk which is for advertising the paper and inviting people to the poster session. * The authors get feedback about their research, and some of them engage in a discussion as well.

Having said that, I agree that taking your own notes is better for you.

Thanks!

Nice! Re linking, writing a bot scraping the links and adding PRs would be a great thing to have =)

Hi Albert! Long time no see =)

I'll probably slow down at some point, but I think atm reading stuff gives me more ideas or general understanding what I want to work on and what not. There are drawbacks as well since some papers have a lot of time to read in depth, and a day is def not enough to get a proper understanding.

Re your advice, that's a great point! How do you select a papers outside of your comfort zone?

Do you think the equations are generated on the fly? I thought they are getting cached.

Wait for my ICO!

Thanks! This structure helps a lot when comparing your work to the related literature. I chose notion because editing (and adding a new note) causes as little pain as possible since it's hard to keep a pace of a paper a day. I do not know how to add RSS support here though =( But I'll keep that in mind.
