I spent a little time ~2012 trying to think how to create a system like this that would work with iPhones at burning man. Never really got anywhere with the idea, but I’m excited to try this!

I have three maxims that basically power all my decisions as an engineer: 1. The three C’s: Clarity always, Consistency with determination, Concision when prudent. 2. Keep the pain in the right place. 3. Fight entropy! So in the context of

Somewhat related, I feel like the book Thinking in Systems should be taught in high school https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3828902

Tangent, but since there are mentions of history books in these comments, I highly recommend Ted Nelson’s autobiography. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10673124

You should really do some research on this. Good luck on your journey.

Wow. Great idea and overall goal, but I’m disappointed in some of the placement choices. Tests very much in particular deserve more weight. Being DRY is nowhere on the same level as bike shedding code style.

I was working with a personal trainer on handstands for a couple of years. It’s hard! The training exercises in this article are very close to the program I did with him. Of course it’s more helpful to have 1:1 coaching but, the progression

Another thought, having an in-app calculator (so one could free calculate factors of an arbitrary number) might generate interesting data to see the approaches your users take? I could see how that might be interesting data for cognitive ma

#Summle #7: 3/5 = = = I like it. Some UX tweaks would be nice, maybe an undo, a clear all, and perhaps some helpful focus shifting (of which tile is being intended for a click) depending on context.

I'm pretty sure it was _why who set up the first darknet I was ever on. You had to set up your /etc/hosts and do some other tricks, to browse to hidden pages. Unless I'm confusing with another similar thing around the sa

This claim of first is not true at all. The Ruby community did all this at least a decade before Go existed, and I imagine there are other examples.

I had not, just installed it though and it looks fantastic, thanks! The best I'd found previously was a no-annotation script that failed most of the time with a vague "something went wrong" error.

The main thing I miss from OS X is Droplr (pain free sharing of annotated screenshots) and Jumpcut (pastebuffer history tool). Can't find anything on Linux for either of those that works nearly as well. I can still go to an old Mac for
