Tell HN: I wastes my time living someone else's life

Not only I'm living the life of someone else and making him wealthy, and at the same time this person is dead.I'm captivated by this engineer, philosopher and artist of our History but I feel guilty to not spending time on my own things instead of studying his life.Unfortunately my side projects are too ambitious to move enough and I don't access yet to any capital or support.

Misleading, should be renamed "personal finance for the middle-class"

Maybe he should do contract work if he can get jobs

> they're just trying to get rich.

Aren't you too rich or too poor... Developing really something for getting rich is a reason worth enough. The real problem is long-term courage.

> With similar ease of development to Python Isn't the goal of general typed languages like Go or Rust to run -not build- the scripts of softwares in data science for example? I wouldn't compare Python and Go, it's different use case to me.

While Go looks to be in the middle, Rust is at the opposite of Python and it must be a good to choice for building data software that run data scripts.

Are there any copyright on watchers comments?
People seem cynic towards those NFTs - as well as the public reaction to the first stock papers or the first crypto currencies.

One important question is what will enable NFTs? Maybe it's virtual hang outs places with digital scarcity, then it makes sense.

I created a remote SaaS business for the online coaching space 5 years ago; they were probably hundreds of JavaScript frameworks at the time and most of them are now deprecated.

It's a shame I decided to carefully digest each piece of content about these technologies: I read HN posts, watched Youtube videos, signed up for Coursera Moocs. I eventually made late and bad decisions on tech decisions and this broke our codebase.

One day I searched on Google something and discovered its Knowledge graph feature which links content together. This inspired me to draw mindmaps and cheatsheets on paper of the technological landscape to get a global grasp of it[0]. Each time I read an article or talk with a dev, I can now make the link with the micro and macro ecosystem.[1]

I refer to these mindmaps daily to learn new things (even beyond tech). To push limits, I make a browser extension to smartly organize all my bookmarks.

[0] You can use this site as a boilerplate for your mindmaps and link your Google Searches and what you read to it: https://roadmap.sh/, they have a Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/theroadmap/videos. You might find Fireship useful too (it popularize many tech topics): https://www.youtube.com/c/AngularFirebase/videos

[1] New tools called "second brains" can be used as supports (Notion, RoamResearch). However I prefer using paper or making my own tool.

I hope this helps! (content overloading is such a problem in education)

Thanks for clearing. I'm not familiar with Julia' Syntax but I don't doubt its pros over Python. I see why I got unvoted, I think my question was more if Rust (as a metal language) could really help make simulation techs like Julia better than the standards. I don't know.
I mean what is the Julia ecosystem focusing on that Rust would not (or similar languages)
I agree LT-Spice and many scientific software have terrible experience. There is a massive opportunity in designing better UI and UX in the modeling/simulation space (Julia's market). I can't wait for the web to clean this space. I believe modern JavaScript and more ergonomic low-level tech will help (i.e. Rust, better C#). I'm skeptic though.
Why isn't Rust top at modeling and simulation yet?

Re:Coursera S-1 IPO on Friday March 05, 2021 @05:24PM (#26362981)
The real value of education is what students do with it. I wish Coursera put all the content free for users and make a living on income share agreement based on a small part of users.
Re:Atlassian Acquires Chartio on Friday February 26, 2021 @02:22PM (#26278714)
The consequence of industrial cycles (like the 19th century's industrial revolution or today's digital economy) is always triggering progress on socialism; Atlassian acquiring another company is applied Darwinism. At some point, humans will ever die or live in simulations where things go differently.

What can you do without Googling these days?
I checked your raytracing JS stuff on Github, would you use (.e.g. Rust) Web Assembly for browser raytracing?
Relative offense here, OP is like the kid cools in school that actually didn't blow up 10 year later and stagnating.

Would be awesome if virtual space had both custom cam and custom mic features.

We could start a VC fund out of this! without the money ^^
Re:Hecto: Build your own text editor in Rust on Tuesday January 19, 2021 @05:49PM (#25839996)
I wonder if Unity-like game dev projects could use Rust as a low-level language and JS for all scripting?
