What were your issues with the standard Anki app? It might not be the prettiest app, but it is effective.

Sadly, I think the assumption people are having families might be where the mark is missed - look at the global fertility rates.

And ask them to review your own projects? That seems a little odd doesn't it? I am wanting feedback specifically for my own work.

Sadly with the limited context sizes on LLMs, you can't ingest a large project at all once to ask for feedback on the more abstract requirements of "good" software practices/design. That is unless the context sizes have

Are there any good platforms out there that people would recommend where you can have your code reviewed? Either paid for or for free. As this article points out, feedback is an essential part of learning, and open source projects would be

20-40 books a year, keeping a page tally is important too if you really want to quantify your reading. This is all on about 30 minutes a night, with some longer spells on the weekend. I keep a little index of the books I read every year, al

I personally loved the book. I don't think it gets enough credit for keeping its message concise and approachable. Plenty of nuggets of wisdom in there to glean from.

Have you done any other form of work that you don't find so disinteresting? To be honest most office work is quite banal, coding is probably amongst the most interesting roles in the building.

We've hired fantastic people in suits, and disastrous people, too. It's more important that you 1) look tidy and 2) are comfortable and 3) match the style of the workspace to a degree.

The candidate is certainly putting in more work than you are for that money, no? It feels like a kind thing to do when you’re being given money for little more than an email. It’s a win-win for both parties. Conversely, I wouldn’t expect a

Yes, with the person you referred. Who else?

Would you ever split that referral bonus? Amongst my friend group it's pretty common to 50/50 it.

Alzheimer's is the least likely to kill you of "The Four Horsemen", however it seems to be the most elusive in terms of prevention and treatment. If deep sleep can contribute to prevention, it seems that yet again exercise is

I disagree with a lot of the sentiment in the comments on this post. The reason these things are pushed are often because they help people in some form. Of course things are taking to the nth degree to make a quick buck manipulating people&

If you're trying to trim down on phone time, but still want to be somewhat contactable? I guess this would require a phone with a WiFi hotspot when you're out and about, but if you're at home and not wanting to reach for that

Telling someone straight "not performing as well as your peers" is quite brutal and not necessarily conducive to your performance increasing over the future. If that is said in public, I wouldn't be happy about the situation,

The idea behind the tiles changing when you switch themes is so that you can have more distinction that just colours between themes. For instance you might want a "focused" theme with just blank tiles and the day planner. Or a &qu

I was sidelined sorry, it's all fixed now. There's a demo video along with a button that will take you through to the less than ideal layout.

If you include a url to a gif in the background segment it will work: url( https://i.imgur.com/BkgF7ET.gif ) ^ Bit of a loud example that one I also recommend making all the tiles transparent when you have a nice background:

A very good call, to be honest I had completely forgotten about that part of the code it's been so long I implemented that. Thanks for the reminder, I'll fix it now
