If you are reading this, chances are that you use GitHub on a regular basis.
Maybe that’s because you need to create new repositories for your personal side projects, or simply because you have to push your latest changes in a work project.
At the time of this pandemic, many individuals, publishing institutions, and companies have been generous enough to help people. Springer is one of them. The publishing company with many textbooks that are used and recommended at many academic and professional institutions.
You hear a lot of complaints from many people being in quarantine these days. Shops, coffees, restaurants getting closed. Countries getting into lockdown.
One of our human needs is the desire to be heard. One really nice place to do that publicly is Medium, where you can reach a large audience with your writing. Especially now that they have started to promote articles.
GitHub is one of the most popular version control repositories. In it, you can find countless public projects in many programming languages.
I have already written an article about DownGit, which gives you the ability to create a download link for GitHub projects. This is a Chrome extension that you can use to add additional functionalities that can be helpful to you from time to time.
Do you remember your high school math teacher talking about logarithms? Maybe you did not have a clear picture of it. Maybe you did not understand it in the beginning or were a bit annoyed. Why are we learning something that we will probably never use in real-life in the first place?
You hear a lot of books and videos mention a lot of things about habits these days. I believe that’s worth doing because habits are behaviors that we do consistently on auto-pilot without thinking too much about them, whether we like them or not.
As such, we need to be aware of unproductive habits and only build productive ones.
To help with that, I recently published an article on TowardsDataScience publication that I hope can help with that.
I really like Google Docs and Google Sheets as I can use them freely in my phone, or laptop, that I can also share with others and invite them to collaborate.
As you are still reading this, chances are that you are also a user of these two helpful services. You need to browse through the old files, edit them, or create new ones.
There is a really quick way to create new such files without having to initially go to the landing dashboard where you see all the documents or sheets and then choose to create a new one.
Recently, I learned that there are 2 domains that are very handy, assuming that you are already signed in:
doc.new redirects you directly to the page for creating a new Google Doc
sheet.new redirects you to a page where you can create a new Google Sheet
Yeah, plain and simple, just like how things we use a lot we wished they were.
I hope this saves you a few seconds of your precious time.
