Still true. From her Mastodon today:

> i quit my job just over 5 years ago to explain computer things (https://jvns.ca/blog/2019/09/13/a-year-explaining-computer-t...). I had no idea if I would like being my own boss but ultimately it's been really cool and I'm happy to have this weird job writing zines about computers.

> Every single cafe, restaurant, supermarket, and mall has free wifi.

I live in a major city in the Philippines, and free WiFi is becoming more of a rarity nowadays. Not even Starbucks and other big chain restaurants, malls, and cafes offer WiFi anymore because of how widely available data is. They expect you to bring your own data and tether if you want to browse or do some work.

In more rural areas, WiFi is definitely not widely available. On the rare chance it’s even offered, it’s usually “piso WiFi” paid by the minute.

https://executeprogram.com has a SQL course. I’ve tried other resources but this one made it click for me after years if relying on SQLAlchemy.

The toolkit in the packages by default is old though. I was setting up JAX on a Ubuntu 20.04 WSL 2 install and it was complaining about ptxas being old and giving bad results.

I've received a lot of value from doing practice interviews on interviewing.io to improve how I perform. I also got two referrals out of the five mock interviews I did.

It’s like having a “What is sorting?” article with bubblesort as the algorithm of focus. It’s easy to explain and answers the question. Yes, time complexity is fundamental to designing algorithms but it’s not something necessary for an introductory article.
