I like how he got Mike over for a second opinion. "Yep, it's empty".

How to study philosophy as an amateur[0] by Existential Comics is a good introductory guide.

Ah, the two (supplementary) I would have recommended are both on his list: The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is great for either randomly browsing topics of potential interest or clarifying things that might be hard to understand in primary sources.

The podcast History of Philosophy without any Gaps is hilariously detailed and quite great. One of the most ambitious projects within contemporary philosophy. While it says "western philosophy" in the description, it has expanded well beyond that at this point and includes many episodes on Asia and Africa as well.

I, regretfully, have to consul against putting too much faith in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. It's one professors pet project, and unusably biased on many topics, extra especially Frege, which is his specialty

Some recommendations:

- Weaving the Web by Tim Berners-Lee: https://www.amazon.com/Weaving-Web-Original-Ultimate-Destiny...

- Founders at Work: https://www.amazon.com/Founders-Work-Stories-Startups-Early/...

Good suggestions. Coders at Work might be a good complement.

The latest Firefox mobile update added a dropdown to the address bar for switching search engines and searching through history/bookmarks/tabs easily.

Nice, I hadn't seen it, thanks !

Here's a bookmarklet to take you directly to the algolia page from a thread:

  javascript: (() => {
    const id = window.location.href.match(/\d+$/g)[0];
    window.open(`https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=story:${id}&sort=byDate&type=comment`)
  })();

The article explains three ways to get new comments in a thread. One way is to go to Algolia (Search provider for HN) and type in the thread id in a specific format. This bookmarklet will open that page directly with all the options pre-selected instead of having to open a new tab, copy and type in the id in the search box, etc.

Algolia is the search that HN uses when you use the search bar at the bottom of the page.

algolia is the search provider for HN. If you use the search bar at the bottom of HN, it will take you to algolia.

One Vimium feature that I use a lot is the "Vomnibar". As a heavy bookmarks user, it lets me easily search for any existing duplicates before bookmarking a page by just pressing 'b'. If I start the search with "/<Space>", it will show the full path to the bookmark folder too!

Been using Vimium for years, and just learned about searching paths in bookmarks via `/` (hitting `b` or `B`, then `/`). - Thank you very much for sharing.

pressing 'o' will achieve the same thing but also allow you to search the internet as if using a google search (or your default search engine)

Always wondered what's this bar doing when accidentally pressing 'b' in the browser:-D Thanks!

Using `T` to search through open tabs is the best

There are tons of these. I use this one: https://cheat.sh/

This is what I use too. I love it.
