I think I did 6 hours a day for a week for leetcode. Looking back (I do mention it in the post), but learning the exact code for binary search, graph components, and coding attention blocks -- they were used so often and memorizing them (rather than writing them on the fly) helped down the line.

Ooh, I'd love to read this. I have mine here: mimansajaiswal.github.io/posts/mac-so... . I am currently testing out Atuin. I typically don't add new tools to my workflow until I've used them for at least a year or feel confident that I will continue using them long-term.

Definitely sponsored by Big Cupcake. Did you know Big Cupcake and Big Muffin are different AND competing corporations? 😃

I usually end up going here: whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com though @vox.com seems to have a new newsletter too.

I wrote this a month back, kinda knowing what was coming, hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
My cats are wondering why I have been extra cuddly lately 😅

EB2 currently has an expected wait time of around 20+ years (around 24+ years after landing in US including H1B+filing time). Even EB1 for indians currently has 4ish years wait time (which you need a 5 year PhD to qualify for, and then an H1B, usually ending up being 10+ years since landing in US) 😅

Yeah, I do like their rotis. I do not like their parathas or naans though. But they save so much time. Also, apparently vadilal makes great frozen roomali rotis? I just tried them out, and they are awesome!

Naan tacos? I want to start making more bread honestly, I am not used to it, so I end up eating just the salad, and then I crave chewy carbs 😅 (though haldiram's frozen roomali roti has been helping).

Tbf the LLM gave me the answer 🫣. I just had to ask it again.

You can use in MacOS
osascript -e 'set the clipboard to (POSIX file "/path/to/your/file")'

Sorry, not into a subscription based recipe app.

Yeah, I like trying out apps for fun, but I make sure not to use multiple apps, or to replace an app if need be.

Iirc you use Android, if you add your boarding pass to your wallet, many airlines update that and if they don't, Google updates the gate info based off their internal Google flights tracking API too!

I am surprised you do not use Raycast 😅 At this point, I do not think I can live without raycast 🫣

Oh, and recs for keyboard: Moonlander (saved my partner from wrist pain). For monitor, you need high ppi (>200) to feel the same as retina monitors. Any monitor in that range will feel similar (including studio display)

I wish I liked obsidian (I have tried it 10 times till now 😭, I like rich text block based writing). You might want to check out morgen in place of things+fantastical btw.

Ooh this is fun! I need to check out potato soon (iirc it is developed by people from UMich!). You might like schej instead of when2meet, and you might like spark for email (unsure if it supports microsoft mail), and you might like noor instead of slack (has a generous free plan)

For me, it is just the presence of most people I care to read opinions of, the timing with which things are tweeted out (for example the deepseek v3 paper details), and existence of an algorithmic feed (I am not a fan of chronological feeds). At this point, I just use it to consume content.

I really like this! Did you document your LLM conversations somewhere?
comment in response to
post
I haven't had words to describe this behavior, but being able to discount general instructions for immediate context and knowing when to perform that operation is one of the things that makes LLM chatbots so helpful, else, we'd be stuck opening 10 different conversations with copy-pasted context.

Ah, I think I didn't come around to blogs for a long time. I wonder if she wrote a head first LLMs book, what would that look like!
comment in response to
post
She is the head first java author? Oh man, I remember seeing the image on the first page and I thought it was one of the illustrations in the book. Her book is how I learnt java in high school in 2009-10 (because unfortunately I am one of those people who likes reading stuff that looks like fun)!

Collaboration supported (though everyone needs a subscription), apple only, also found on setapp, exports to pdf and muse bundle that can experimentally be hosted on the web. Also, now uses their own storage and sync engine, unlike other options.

Possibly a suggestion you didn't ask for, but Crouton and Mela are two amazing recipe apps in the apple ecosystem (I keep a separate cheap iphone just to use those + airtags)

Ah, I didn't know that! Good to know! I also see that the current search results do not mention either of the words, which is awesome (/s).

Please let us collapse blocks into toggles?

Tiktok did this pretty great thing when I last interviewed with them, that they explain a business use case when they define a question - & the generic form of the question. I really liked having that context (and it helped!) rather than just pattern matching the question to my leetcode experience.

I think you need to use `from:@vboykis iterm2`

Yeah, I don't care about the AI features as much too, but I care about it being similar to a text editor. I still do not know what is so special about terminals that they cannot be similar to text editors 🤷♀️

Or how sometimes indian restaurants here add cream to every gravy. Or using yogurt for butter chicken. Or red chilli powder contributing to all spice in north indian cooking.
India has this very popular indo-chinese cuisine, but calling it authentic chinese doesn't feel right to me, I guess.

Which is why I usually prefer when those places explicitly call themselves as fusion food. For example, sure you can make a butter chicken pizza, it is cream, tomato, herbs, chicken afterall, but no one would call that authentic italian.

I think people usually do -- especially if they segregate it into regions (like sambhar from south india usually tastes similar). I am okay with anything in the realm of what tastes like back home.
I usually end up calling stuff non-authentic when almost no-one in India would make *that* choice.
