Have you looked into row-based presentation of the images? I usually feel like pages with row-based image grids have a higher-quality look to them.

See e.g. [1] and [2] for more info and [3] for an implementation.

Re:How to be productive when you don't have external structure on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @09:40AM (#42194268)
Hey HN, I recently wrote an article on my personal productivity system. This is what keeps me going since a few years.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers, Marc

The chord progression generator doesn't return correct chords, as it uses the Chromatic scale, while it should probably use a diatonic scale.

So for example for I-IV-V it gives me C, D#, E while it should give me C-F-G (https://www.justbuildthings.com/chord-progression-generator)

This should be easy to fix, though. To point you in the right direction, see e.g. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression

Fascinating topic, keep up the work!

While the answer to your question is "no", there is still something you'll be able to do: to express yourself and to understand spoken language.

Like other people said here, understanding will probably still be limited, esp. in writing. But expressing even complex things becomes easier.

E.g. instead of saying "Do you have medication against migraine" at a pharmacy you could say "Do you have something for pain here" while pointing at your head.

This is what we call fluency, and starting at 800 words I would argue you have basic fluency in the language. And also regarding understanding spoken language – those words might be enough to express that you haven't understood something and ask people to simplify.

Words are not enough, though – pronunciation and grammar also play their part.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend to check out the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early). You probably need much less than 8-10 million to exist and pursue your interests indefinitely. I'd recommend the blog by Mr. Money Mustache as a good entry-point.

I can recommend paperless. I am running it locally in a Docker container and sync database/files with iCloud (so they are backed up). I've been thinking about putting them on the actual web to access them anywhere, but so far having paperless "just" on my computer was enough.

What worked really well for improving my self-control regarding porn was putting money in the game. Whenever you trip, I have to donate 100€ to an organization I don't like (in other words, hate). It should be really painful to donate this money.

I once tripped and it was extremely painful. Don't want to do this again.

Depending on how important this is to you, I'd increase/decrease the amount of money on the table.

It's very helpful to do this together with a friend, to keep each other accountable.

Done that, thx for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback. I updated the description to make it clearer :)

(you will probably be able to do 13s)

The idea is to click the numbers in ascending order – start with 1, 2, 3 all the way to 25.
Thank you for the feedback, I've decreased this time a by a lot now.
btw there is an unofficial leaderboard in the GitHub Readme [1]. I didn't think it was worth it to implement a proper one yet (I guess it would be quite easy to cheat there)

This is really fast! Feel free to add your score to the GitHub leaderboard: https://github.com/remarcable/ClickTheNumber
Good idea, thank you!
Good idea with the reset button! For now, just reload the page :)

I already added this, but it only happens after about 4-8s. Would you suggest decreasing that time?
