Would it not be better if they spent more money on wholesome things like oranges and wholemeal bread or if they even, like the writer of the letter to the New Statesman, saved on fuel and ate their carrots raw? Yes, it would, but the point

A QR code by itself is completely unreadable to a human. Can't this have the SSID / password too? All too often you see what should be simple textual data wrapped in this obtuse form which only specific machines can read. Text an

I listened to a podcast which mentioned a relatively obscure topic in passing using the basic samsung music app on my phone which didn't have a SIM card in, location turned on or an internet connection. Later that day I see an advert f

I've been using exactly the same approach for spinning up local COVID-19 support groups around London, one nice example is at https://holloway.coronacorps.com/ . Really like the branch to subdomain mapping feature from

Duolingo works reasonably well when used as a supplementary aid to learning a language. I've found that it has reasonable utility when combined with taking a physical class as a low-effort boredom filler for building familiarity with t

This reminds me a lot of the idea of Transactional Analysis. It's a study of the Ego state of people interacting with the world around them and whether they act as a figurative Parent, Adult or Child in a certain situation and can expl

For 1 person, you can keep most of it in very short form. Currently I use github projects for a prioritised list of items to do, a new board per release and an ongoing Evernote file for notes & ideas.

Even better you can make a subject access request (SAR) to Airbnb and get the internal communications about the person in question.

Having recently jumped into a Scala team from a mainly OOP background, I'm starting to see the light with the language. Using the type system to handle code you would otherwise have to write defensively. Letting the compiler take more

Headlights are also slightly biased to the nearside of the car so more light is cast upon road signs and the side of the road.

I wonder whether this constitutes a golden age of wealth transfer from oil states to the average persons pocket. Food delivery is notoriously difficult to make any money in with few market players able to turn anything resembling a profit i

WSL now works wonderfully for W10. Additionally you can get VSCode to run inside WSL rather than in windows so accessing the file system / debugging works a lot better and you're not relying on complex toolchains and dependencies

It's usually better to make a bad decision than no decision at all. Really the internet makes it too easy to have too much choice by making it easy to consume so much shallow information, and the real value comes from cutting through t

It's taking the approach that the best way of gaining wealth is to convert earned income into unearned (passive) income over time. That once the basic necessities are covered the bulk of your nontrivial expenditure should really be inv

One site that I've found with a wide-ish breadth of events is https://evensi.com . They however seem to have too much choice and it's difficult to narrow down to a small relevant list of events. There sometimes are too

As a small side project I've been working on a tool to find interesting events in London that also have some food or drink provided, I found that there was sometimes too much choice and not an easy way to pick the best upcoming events.
