I've been using RTM for a long time. At the time, at least, it was one of the best todo apps around. It still meets my requirements. I've tightly integrated it into my processes and automations (via Zapier), e.g. when it comes to

Why do you want track your tasks and accomplishments? Do you do this for yourself or for somebody else (e.g. a manager)? How do you measure accomplishments and results? Those often are different from the tasks required to achieve them. I us

I use a process called “blogumentation”. Whenever I come across a solution that I’d like to document for myself and others I create a blog post with the tag “blogumentation”: https://bjoernkw.com/tag/blogumentation&#x2

While technically that's true, in most cases that's a flaw with employment contracts because such a stipulation creates wrong incentives: If an employee engages in pointless pretend work such as continuously checking emails all da

Work is - or rather should be - about value created rather than time wasted. For most jobs, that is where time spent doesn’t immediately translate into customer value, work being measured in terms of hours is the greatest fallacy that came

There's nothing wrong with using OOP in 2021. The key features of OOP are encapsulation of data (properties and the actions to perform on those are hidden from the implementing code) and polymorphism (different interchangeable implemen

It perhaps doesn't influence European culture at a larger scale (yet) but what I really appreciate about Netflix is that the shows and movies they offer are almost always available in the original language version alongside with dubs a

A classic puzzle, the answer to which is that the projection takes place along the z-axis rather than x-axis. Richard Feynman nicely explains this in this video: https://youtu.be/6tuxLY94LXw

Because headless CMSs aren't my core business. Because WordPress allows me to focus on what's relevant to me and my business. Could I run my business website on a headless CMS and a build pipeline? Absolutely. Why should I though?

There's the speed of light on one hand and a maximum latency of roughly 30 ms, which is the boundary below which the human mind perceives sound as synchronous, on the other. However, neither does prohibit non-colocated live music altog

The underlying problem here isn't people taking the piss but a system optimised for people taking the piss. You optimise for time wasted rather than value created.

Apart from (and also emphasising) what others have already mentioned: American English (AE) is a rhotic English accent, essentially meaning that the letter 'r' is pronounced when it occurs at the end of a syllable (whereas with m

A "bare below the elbows" policy makes sense and there indeed are studies corroborating that pathogens can accumulate on wristwatches. However, having worked as a paramedic I'm wondering how you would actually measure a patie

What you're describing absolutely sounds plausible. People who use their voice frequently and professionally tend to (over)compensate for perceived or real shortcomings in their environment or their own voice, which in turn can lead to

I'd use it if its sync capabilities weren't iCloud-only. From a business and development point of view I totally get why they opted for iCloud: It allows them to focus on their core business and delegate the supporting domain of d

Politicians in Paris or Berlin feeling entitled to tell their counterparts in Warsaw and Athens what to do is one thing, which probably is happening today already anyway. Sliding towards becoming a single country is a wholly different matte

I really don't get the rationale behind this argument (if there even is one, at all), by medical professionals no less. How is getting a properly tested vaccine with a known 1 to 10% probability of side effects such as headaches or fev

There's the government and there's the people who run things, i.e. the Civil Service in this case. While governments change and might or might not be incompetent, those structures largely remain the same.

As an avid city cyclist I don't get the appeal of e-bikes as a mode of transport. They're heavy and expensive and require more maintenance than regular bikes. For many cities, riding at 35 km/h on average also sounds pretty d

This might have something to do with national bias. In Germany, where BioNTech is based, news articles (or rather: German-language articles) either mention BioNTech exclusively or cite them as the primary player in the BioNTech / Pfize
