Ask HN: What was the last HN submission you favorited before Covid shutdowns?

4 pointsby treyfittyalmost 2 years ago
“Covid Shutdown” date is largely subjective, and I personally demarcate March 15, 2020 as being pre-Covid.

February 23, 2020 - Daily life with an Offline laptop: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dataswamp.org&#x2F;~solene&#x2F;2020-02-18-offline-laptop-v2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dataswamp.org&#x2F;~solene&#x2F;2020-02-18-offline-laptop-v2.h...</a><p>And the one just before that was pretty cool too, lots of fun gear animations:<p>February 12, 2020 - Gears: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ciechanow.ski&#x2F;gears&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ciechanow.ski&#x2F;gears&#x2F;</a><p>Never did anything special with them, same as most submissions I favorite.<p>It should be noted that I was already freaking out about Covid at this point. I remember going to a writing retreat in early February at a cabin with like 14 other people for two days and being very nervous about it (I almost cancelled).

I’ll Start:<p>I wanted to move back into Data Science so I enrolled in Georgia Tech’s masters program. I was very weak in Linear Algerba, so I saved this online textbook for linear algebra to have something to dive deep into during the holidays. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;textbooks.math.gatech.edu&#x2F;ila&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;textbooks.math.gatech.edu&#x2F;ila&#x2F;</a><p>When Covid happened, I had all the time in the world, and forgot about this link until now lol.
