Thanks for trying it out.

By default, tablecraft currently assumes headers for all pasted tables. But I'll probably have to tweak it to also work with headless tables.


Computer Networking: a Top Down approach by James Kurose and Keith Ross.

Computer Networking - a Top Down approach is a technical book, but oh boy what an awesome read it is. I've just recently obtained a BSc degree in Computer Science, and the course curriculum didn't paid much attention to computer networks. We mostly studied cryptography algos, but not really looked into networks protocols and such.

This book is hence filling the gaps I have in computer networks (I'm mostly interested in web dev/cloud architectures).

The only other technical book that comes close to it is "Operation Systems: three easy pieces" by Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau. Another great read.

Now, in terms of fictions books, I just finished re-reading "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It's a masterpiece, but I'm not sure if the author is widely known in english speaking countries.


When you read technical books for fun, do you do the exercises and projects at the end of chapters? I have found that when I read and don't actually use the concepts learned, I tend to forget after some time.


You may want to try converting those questions into byte (heh) sized flashcards and review them from time to time to make sure it sticks. Speaking of which, there's a book called Make It Stick. You might find that interesting as well.


Probably not widely, but I've read Labyrinth of the Spirits by Zafón and it was utterly fantastic. (I know it's book 4 and do intend to read the others. I was at my local library and picked this up randomly. So glad I did!)


Tiptap is amazing!! I'm using it to create an electron desktop application to help students plan studies and take notes. The app is greatly inspired by Notion, but given the niche, it will be much simpler and easy to use. Thanks a lot for your effort! I can't see myself creating the app without Tiptap.


Thanks for your feedback! Can we find your electron app somewhere or at least the source code? Desktop and especially mobile apps are a completely different domain for an editor.


That's super nice, mate! I love teaching and am building a website to teach programming myself. Now, if its ok for you to disclose, how do you manage the evaluation/testing of user submitted code in the backend? Thanks and congratS!


I just review the pull requests :)


Probably from ads. I just wonder whether those 10k are coming from learn python alone or all 'learn' websites combined. I'm actually developing a Codecademy 'clone' for Brazil and have looked at these sites for reference.


That's super interesting! I actually started developing 'Zillow for Brazil' a couple of years ago for the same reason (Brazil realstate websites are a total mess - there's no option to show locations on a map!), but dropped the project due to lack of knowledge (I was just starting my journey in computer science) and also because I thought that tackling such a project would require a gargantuan amount of work (external integrations, indexing addresses, and so on). Besides, I had doubts whether I would be able to make a net profit from the website considering that GoogleMaps API is quite expensive for Brazil standards. Congrats!


Yeah domain knowledge/network is definitely needed, I am working with a friend who has that, it's a must in this field because it's almost set in the stone age.

Google maps was crazy expensive I went with Mapbox[1] for now which seems to have enough features and is less expensive.
