It doesn't matter if you're a Junior or Senior Developer, everyone uses Google to search for solutions.
What a lot of people don't know, is how to effectively search for the right answer.
Let me help you improve your Google search skills with these 16 tips!
🧵🧵🧵
You use this operator to exclude results if it contains the operand using "-" e.g.
javascript -frameworks
This is a binary operator that returns a result if it contains both operands or one of them e.g.
(angular OR react) javascript tips
This is a binary operator that returns a result containing it's operant on the left and right hand-side e.g.
html AND css
This returns a result if both terms are in the search result.
Use quotation marks to return an exact match in your search result e.g.
python tutorial "full course"
Use the wildcard "*" placeholder to return a search result containing anything in your phrase e.g.
"the * javascript tutorial"
This is probably the most used one. Using "site:
site:https://t.co/c7XaH1z0RU S3
The S3 section of the amazon docs will be returned.
Using "file:
filetype:pdf javascript tutorial
Using "related:
related:https://t.co/cBQZlrwV0X
Using "cache:
cache:https://t.co/DJSbcG5Khv
A webpage indexed by Google will have a cached version available on Google's end.
Using "intitle:
intitle:best vscode extensions
This is a specifier that returns results containing its operant in the URL e.g.
python inurl:tutorial
This will display the meaning of a word in a card-like result e.g.
define:entrepreneur

These past few days I've been experimenting with something new that I want to use by myself.
Interestingly, this thread below has been written by that.
Let me show you how it looks like. 👇🏻
When you see localhost up there, you should know that it's truly an experiment! 😀
It's a dead-simple thread writer that will post a series of tweets a.k.a tweetstorm. ⚡️
I've been personally wanting it myself since few months ago, but neglected it intentionally to make sure it's something that I genuinely need.
So why is that important for me? 🙂
I've been a believer of a story. I tell stories all the time, whether it's in the real world or online like this. Our society has moved by that.
If you're interested by stories that move us, read Sapiens!
One of the stories that I've told was from the launch of Poster.
It's been launched multiple times this year, and Twitter has been my go-to place to tell the world about that.
Here comes my frustration.. 😤

Recently I just refunded all Poster's sales from Gumroad. Being that said, I decided to not using that service anymore.

Machine translation can be a wonderful translation tool, but its uses are widely misunderstood.
Let's talk about Google Translate, its current state in the professional translation industry, and why robots are terrible at interpreting culture and context.
Straight to the point: machine translation (MT) is an incredibly helpful tool for translation! But just like any tool, there are specific times and places for it.
You wouldn't use a jackhammer to nail a painting to the wall.
Two factors are at play when determining how useful MT is: language pair and context.
Certain language pairs are better suited for MT. Typically, the more similar the grammar structure, the better the MT will be. Think Spanish <> Portuguese vs. Spanish <> Japanese.
No two MT engines are the same, though! Check out how human professionals ranked their choice of MT engine in a Phrase survey:

When it comes to context, the first thing to look at is the type of text you want to translate. Typically, the more technical and straightforward the text, the better a machine will be at working on it.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
