Re:Crossing the USA by Train
on Monday October 28, 2024 @11:32PM (#41979112)
I've attempted to take the Greyhound four times. Twice they gave me the wrong address to take it from. Once from Irvine, where I was told to go to a new transit center that wasn't open yet. The other time from San Luis Obispo, which has no actual transit center, although it has a train station, and county buses leave from city hall. I was told the Greyhound left from a Texaco station right off the highway. I made it out of Irvine the same day (hitchhiked), but I was a day late out of San Luis Obispo (took the train), and had to reschedule a connecting flight.

I find that I zone out if I put the windows side by side, so no better than copy paste. Instead I have the emacs frame cover the ebook while I'm typing. I do a _lot_ of Alt-Tabbing between the ebook and the editor, but the code is guaranteed to enter my head before it goes out my fingers.

You don't even need any CSS styling, because the default style with just HTML will work fine on a mobile phone. This one-page document is all you need to know for a simple site.

Depreciate is an intransitive verb. It does not take an object such as cookies, but refers back to the subject. So short GOOG now.

Re:Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks?

I use falcon extension on Chrome. It indexes all the sites you visit so you can find the same site again with a search instead of a bookmark.

Bucky Roberts of https://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston/playlists has tutorials on Javascript, ES6, Bootstrap, Angular 2, jQuery, React JS, Sass & SCSS, Less CSS, Grunt JS, Node.js, AJAX, MySQL, PHP, XHTML and CSS, HTML5, Java, Android dev, Objective C, iOS dev, Ruby, Python 3, Flask, GTK3 with Python3, C Programming, C++, C++ with Qt, C#, Git, and Django. I watched some of the C programming videos. The videos had tiny text in the upper left corner of the screen, with the rest of the screen a blank white background. Also he does have some buggy programs in the videos, but he has corrected source code for the C programs linked at https://thenewboston.com/forum/topic.php?id=1440 Despite these problems, worth watching for the very nice explanations.

He has tutorials on Python 2.7, MySQL, PHP, Assembly language, C++, C#, Objective C, Java, Android dev, OOP, Design Patterns, UML, JavaScript, AJAX, JQuery, Angular, Git, HTML, CSS, WordPress, XML, Investing, Marketing... I watched some of the Android development videos. It helped for me to slow them down, but then I hardly listen to English lately. I did like that he used large fonts in his IDE and zoomed in on the text.
