Ask HN: How do I code offline for a week?
There’s stuff like https://zealdocs.org/ that allow you to take all relevant documentation with you so offline coding will work.
If you just want to be productive, you could also bring a lot of books or downloaded tutorials on a drive.
Btw, make sure your drive is encrypted and you think of a way to backup your data so you don’t lose the offline progress.

Memex is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed

What's the Difference Between `ruby-doc.org` and `docs.ruby-lang.org`?
For offline documentation, I use Zeal (called Dash on macos) which looks/works almost identically to rubydoc.info but much faster since it's offline, has a standard interface for all installed language documentations, and only 1 global hotkey away while programming.

Googling for answers costs you time
I highly recommend using local solutions to this local issue: Zeal[1] (aka Dash[2] on MacOS)
Load up the "docsets" of your languages (lightly edited HTML docs for indexing purposes) and use a global keyboard shortcut (F8 for me) to pull up Python/Postgres/Terraform docs, searching for the right function without internet query.
This isn't straight up applicable to all questions of course, but "How do I search regular expressions in Python again?" is now as easy as "re"
Note that the docsets can be converted from normal HTML ones via doc2dash[3], especially useful to load up custom docs like private providers.

How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
Use a tool like Internet-in-a-box and keep a "local" version of tons of very useful stuff like Wikipedia and Maps.

Build a pocket sized touch computer for cheap!
IMO the best use case is https://internet-in-a-box.org/. You download a bunch of stuff like Wikipedia, videos, books, etc, and any device with WiFi can access them. Much better than relying on something like a laptop or old phone with all of these resources on them. Get a couple of Raspberry Pi's and some SD cards and you can clone them all and have lots of backups. They are small and use little power so you can hide them in places that can't easily be found.

I just bought the only physical encyclopedia still in print, and I regret nothing
this is awesome, but for those of us that don't feel like spending ~$1200... may I suggest internet in a box

An argument for why we need to start hoarding books and textbooks immediately.
Not a hard copy, but unless you’re worried about something destroying all electronics, you can make an offline library with Internet in a box.
