Re:The Missing Half of a Daily Planner on Monday May 04, 2026 @01:20PM (#48011760)
Some thoughts on ways to bring notes (and AI) into your daily routine
If you scan a lot of documents you would
I've followed Benn for years, and his critique of modern revenue models for musicians. It's stunning to me that a duopoly can punish musicians for speaking out like this.
Re:People who use Notion to plan their whole lives on Tuesday April 25, 2023 @12:07PM (#35702391)
I love this! I'm starting to feel this is a solution to a lot of info-overload stress in our lives. I'm making an iOS app with the same slant: every day has its own list, so you start fresh every day, or you can add to your tomorrow's list at night so you start the day prepared. I also added a bullet-journal-like view for the month and it all adds up to a lot less stress than what I've been doing before (the testflight is at https://testflight.apple.com/join/t5ZpRV2l )

Not to mention that adding an image chops 20+ chars of my limit. Want a URL in there and maybe a hashtag? You're down to less than 100 characters. These arbitrary platform limits should not burden the end user.
Re:An Introduction to Programming C-64 Demos on Monday January 05, 2015 @12:47AM (#8837499)
The screen you're talking about is just C64 BASIC. You'd do LOAD to get Turbo Assembler into memory (from cassette tape or disk), then go from there...

The store is a must visit if you come to Vancouver - it's in Kitsilano so you get to see one of our trendier neighbourhoods as well.

Not really, it speaks highly of their SOC.
Re:How to Make the Best Pourover Coffee on Wednesday August 06, 2014 @04:47PM (#8144775)
I love pourovers and ended up getting this Bodum auto: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/04/07/hands-o...

It makes a very good pourover, I recommend it if you don't have the time to do it properly.

Well, except the work on the new language according to the language creator didn't start until July 2010, a month after this post.
Re:Chris Lattner on Swift on Tuesday June 03, 2014 @02:51PM (#7842065)
It's amazing that Apple managed to go from hatching the idea in mid-2010 to releasing a fully working framework 4 years later, with tight IDE integration, huge amount of testing and compatibility without a single leak (that I've heard of).
Re:Don't mess with Newegg on Thursday May 22, 2014 @08:47PM (#7787459)
I feel it's really important for us, as consumers, to support companies like Newegg. This strategy is really risky for them (despite all the good PR it brings).

It's easy for patent trolls to just move onto different targets and avoid suing combative companies like Newegg, but if we vote with our dollars maybe more companies will see that they too should take a stand.

Re:Dropbox acquires Loom (YC W12) on Thursday April 17, 2014 @04:06PM (#7605960)
And the on-boarding process was so painful - it took me weeks to load up ALL my photos onto Everpix. After they failed, I signed up with Loom and again it took over a month for it all to upload. I feel sad as I don't envy the next startup that tries to "solve" this very real problem.
Re:Lens Blur in the new Google Camera app on Wednesday April 16, 2014 @03:43PM (#7600071)
Yes - you have to move the camera upwards as it takes a series of photos. It is not working from a single photo.
Re:Facebook privacy settings are about to change again on Wednesday April 09, 2014 @12:01AM (#7557591)
Except for this bit:

> Facebook is testing a pop-up notification that asks users who haven't reviewed their settings in a while whether they'd like their posts to be shared publicly by default, to their friends by default or another more specific setting.

I feel this is an attempt to get those of us only sharing with friends to reconsider sharing publicly.

Re:Goodbye Gmail on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @12:29AM (#7426817)
Also important to note: Fastmail has been rock solid for me (and I should know - over 10 years there). Gmail outages seem frequent compared to the number of times I remember FM going down.
Also not true: Apple doesn't get "Engagement" data from the app, so that part of the ranking formula is wrong.
Re:Why We Abandoned Crowdsourcing on Wednesday February 05, 2014 @05:24PM (#7187277)
I just wanted to say how slick their service is, I just used it earlier today and was paired with a very competent agent. I'm now waiting for the day Flightfox can take care of the whole thing, including booking a flight. There is a definite opportunity there!
