When You Haven’t Seen It in Years

Here's a "behind-the-scenes" look at my development of a cool sensor during my PhD (electrical engineering). This sensor is only about 1/3 of my total research for my degree and took about a year. I've been on HN for a while now and I've seen my fair share of posts about the woes of pursuing a PhD. Now that I'm done with mine I wanna share some anecdotal evidence that doing a PhD can actually be enjoyable (not necessarily easy) and also be doable in 3 years. When I started I knew I didn't want to work on something that would never leave the lab or languish in a dissertation PDF no one…

Hi everyone! I’m the founder of Explanations (https://explanations.app). I’m building a website where students can get college level math & physics help for 1/10th the cost of private tutoring. You’d type a question, and your teacher replies by drawing a Youtube/KhanAcademy-style video; and this happens asynchronously throughout the week. When I was studying at MIT, I often had to wait 40-60 minutes in line just to get 5 minutes of “help” from a TA - when I needed 1-2 hours. I understood that TAs can’t spend all their time helping me. That’s understandable. But what made…

As you solve LeetCode questions, you can mark them as hard, medium, or easy. The tool will then recommend questions you should review based on (1) how hard the question was for you and (2) how much time has passed since you last reviewed it. I'd recommend normally attempting LeetCode problems and just marking them as hard, medium, or easy for you at first so the tool knows which problems to recommend you review! Here's the theory behind spaced repetition and learning if interested: https://www.codecademy.com/article/spaced-repetition

Hi all! I'm going into my freshman year, and figured that the best way to prepare for the intro to programming Racket course would be to implement my own garbage-collected, dynamically typed, functional programming language in C ;) Anyways... here's the repo: https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb I started learning C over the summer, so I still have a whole lot to learn... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :D

Hi HN, we’re building deriveit.org, the website where you can learn any topic, quickly. On our website, you pay to ask any physics, computer science, or math question, and our community competes to give you the best explanation (for a cash reward). Right now, resources with high quality content are a time drain (papers, textbooks, and courses). We think that material is typically written in an unnecessarily hard-to-read way, but that there are tons of people who are passionate about explaining it well to others. We want to give the world access to those people, and remove barriers for them…

Since medical school years ago, I have been trying to find way for long term knowledge management and retention. I finally ended up with Obsidian on the desktop, but it's still difficult to access my knowledge anywhere online, until I made my own online wiki. Things that helped me get to this step: 1. "How to Take Smart Notes" 2. Evergreen notes by Andy: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes. This website shows the culmination of my personal knowledge with search bar. The idea is that I should be able to find what I'm looking for within seconds, otherwise the title…

I’ve spent a year building a theory learning path that starts from scratch and goes all the way up to topics like Secondary Dominants and Borrowed Chords. It uses a combination of games, interactive lessons and spaced repetition to help you understand and remember concepts. Not just learn something new and forget it in a few days. I’m trying to figure out: 1. Is the progression logical? 2. What am I missing that you’d like to see in there? 3. Where does it get confusing and could use more clarification?
