This is an exceptionally profound observation. IMO not having a strong ego helps and if it goes right, everyone benefits from this.

I have a small nitpick with the video you shared: unfortunately that one and most others on YouTube are “talkie” CD versions which replaced the amazing MIDI music with rather uninspired symphonized CD tracks. Here’s a different longplay with the MIDI soundtrack:

Me too! I definitely remember seeing that thank you note. Mandela Effect comes to mind of course but the memory is so vivid it’s creepy.

I haven’t seen this before. There’s also a bit (relatively) updated version which I prefer: https://youtu.be/8d4RtvMQp10

It doesn’t seem to exactly fit your description but Python Challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/) has been incredibly fun and rewarding for me back in the day.
It’s a series of riddles that are meant to be solved using the python language. It’s really old now but I’m hoping that some library specific riddles are still relevant. Apart from those few, most of them should be language agnostic as well.
I’ve always wanted to create a similar thing to replicate the experience in JS but never gotten around to it.
Edit: oh also completely agree with most of the recommendations here. Particularly with TIS-100, Factorio and Human Resource Machine.

Jabra Elite 65t does that and they are absolutely amazing.

Most popular libraries these days either include their own typescript definitions, or the definitions are available vie @types (it is as easy as npm install --save-dev @types/library-name)
If on the off chance that no typings are available, you just write a simple namespace declaration (usually a one liner) and start using the library right away, albeit without smart code sensing / completion. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22842389/how-to-import-a...

React-Redux complements React in some great ways. It has been my state storage of choice from the beginning. IMO, it would be better to start react with it rather than changing habits later. The go-to tutorial series is here: https://egghead.io/courses/getting-started-with-redux
And definitely use typescript if you value good code quality (and your sanity). The advanced type system and compile time type checking is really a boon to the JS ecosystem. https://www.typescriptlang.org
You'd like to get comfortable with the latest tools that compile, transpile and pack the code for you (you might be familiar with that already.) Here might be a good start: https://medium.com/@fay_jai/getting-started-with-reactjs-typ...
Have fun!

It may be obvious for electric and electronics engineers, but thank you for introducing me to this concept. Through Wikipedia, I found some very interesting applications. 1-bit camera ( http://dsp.rice.edu/cscamera ) particularly.

The fact that this is accomplished in a language where whitespace really matters impressed me the most.

two incredibly useful tools that will make finding a good .com name less of a hassle:
be sure to double check wordoids' results, as it sometimes report taken domains as free.
good luck!

If you, like me, wonder about the Windows alternatives; Hexplorer ( http://artemis.wszib.edu.pl/~mdudek/ ) is a very nice and capable hex editor for Windows. The only downside is that it chokes on rather big files. Then again, I don't use it daily for my work, so I might be missing some big pros or cons.
