I couldn´t find a good online site to discover new nonfiction books based on selected great quotes so I made http://arandomquote.com
Another project is gDriveSync.js: Javascript wrapper library for Google Drive API v3. You can list, save, read documents just using html and js https://github.com/vitogit/gDriveSync.js
Another one Sorter: https://github.com/vitogit/sorter is a webapp to organize ideas, tasks and information using bullet points and hashtags.
Very well done. I really like checklists, I use them as my todo list, project organizer and general stuff. So I created Sorter to help me: is a webapp to organize ideas, tasks and information using bullet points and hashtags. It´s open source if you want to check https://github.com/vitogit/sorter
A lot of comments but no one said the great time that we are living for chess. So many games online, ready to be analysed and learn from them. After deep blue people thought that it was the end of chess, but it´s only getting better. Computers helping players to improve.
Chess.com is a great site, also lichess.org and chessable.com if you like chess you should check them.
If you liked Clean Code, read Clean Coder. A quick summary:
Robert C. Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices of true software craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical advice–about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring and testing. It covers much more than technique: It is about attitude.
I feel that books like Clean Coder should be recommended reading for people in their first job. I really feel like it made me think about how I do my job in a more professional, quality-focused manner than even Clean Code did.
Some more info: The site is made in Jekyll and the quotes are loaded in the page using Javascript to get the random quote. I like to read and write down quotes, so a lot of quotes came from that source, the other good source is goodreads.
It's a manual process but I make sure that the quote is really good. In the case of stoicism I have a personal collection of maxims from different sources like Meditations (Marcus Aurelius), Letters from a stoic(Seneca) , Enchiridion(Epictetus - my favourite author).
If you go to arandomquote.com/stoic you will get only stoicism quotes, or you can go to arandomquote.com/business to get just business quotes.
Today I will add around 100 quotes from 25 books, like Rework, Deep Work, E-myth, Show your work, Art of War, Meditations, The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking, Man's Search for Meaning , etc
Hi, this is my weekend project arandomquote.com It will give you a great quote from a bestselling book each time you refresh the page. Currently there are 2 categories : Stoicism and Business that are subjects that I really like.
The quotes are from my personal notes, from goodreads and from Derek Sivers reviews. Currently there are just a few, I added them by hand as I'm adding just my favorites.
When you click the quote it will go to Amazon book details page, It's an affiliate link.
Any ideas? Suggestions? thanks
pd: I submitted this some days ago but with the wrong label, ASK instead of SHOW, that I think is more appropriate
I don't understand using this to learn a language. It might help you get the syntax, but there's no way to understand semantic concepts happening behind the scene. Just imagine trying to understand monads by memorizing how to use them. Personally, syntax isn't something I've ever struggled to retain, and apart from that I feel like this would be much too much work to learn a new language.
I want to agree with this. But I have to confess that my children are memorizing basic facts like "refridgerator holds milk" without having to understand any of the magic of the fridge quite well. Seems memorization of surface facts helps, a lot.
