Apple Notes. Good enough and you can write wherever you want if you are part of the Apple ecosystem. Tried the other paths of org-mode, DayOne, plain text, etc. Problem is journaling can happen anywhere and those tools are not always availa

As an Indian I have to agree with this assessment. But India has gone through the socialist phase, it still maintains a liberal democracy and is now rapidly building out its industry. Socialism is completely dead in the cities, my opinion i

As someone whose parents had small grocery stores, those are also super tight margin businesses where you end up eating a lot of the expired food. Though I’d say there are a ton of small businesses that won’t make you rich but that can be r

I learned to read line as the following in Java 1.2 so the Scanner class is new to me. :p BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String input = in.readLine();

I’ve written a bunch of Python scripts to do my books using hledger. The nice thing is I no longer pay the $75/month for Quickbooks. Sure it means I can’t hire a bookkeeper to do my books anymore but it literally takes me like 15 mins

God the inability of Sharepoint Online to show all sites, but only “Recent sites” is infuriating. You create a site and wait an hour to show up in the sidebar. Or the slew of bugs across Office UX. At least Google feels like a designer look

Heh. Yesterday, we had a plumber over who told us we have to rebore our sewage pipes because roots got in. It is an old house with cast iron pipes and they still got in.

I think LibreOffice needs a general refresh of marketing and product for simplicity. The LibreOffice website, you have to dig in to see what features are provided. The product itself has a lot of bells and whistles but as you mentioned it i

Bring back cursive! I remember when I was a kid people would just copy other people’s essays and just reword the sentences. So people who want to cheat will figure out ways to cheat on homework, etc. AI is just the new vehicle. I think grad

Having done Rails and Django professionally for some time now I’d honestly recommend Django. While I love the meta aspects of Rails unlike other people I just think the Python library ecosystem is just so massive that you can quite literall

Most small businesses don’t need UI, etc. They need lots of integration work though. Like my friend who has a jewelry business needed help integrating Etsy orders to Asana which we did using Zapier. So lot less custom code and more linking

I moved from SF to smaller towns around California. I so much more enjoy the smaller towns. When I lived in SF I ended up going to the same 5 restaurants or cafes and while it was fund in my 20s to be around a lot of people my age as I got

I’ve been using Microsoft 365 stuff recently and everything seems to be getting worst. Teams has had some new odd bugs, Sharepoint still doesn’t show a site after it was created, OneDrive syncing is still garbage.

I was in India recently and randomly ended up talking to a lot of millennials while traveling. It is an understatement for how quickly the American economy would grind to a halt if anything major happened. ADP, loan processing, healthcare i

It is funny I thought this as well for a long time, but they are absolutely killing it with their market which is Enterprise and Government. Software is still garbage but the moat they have with E3 and E5 licenses is huge.

I’d argue the hypothesis is the third step Decide. The Orient step is framing of the situation and the most important part of the OODA loop versus the actual hypothesis step. I think the major difference between the OODA Loop and Science se

And do it faster than your enemy, in the context of the military setting in which it was developed. Also recommend the book Science, Strategy and War which is a PhD thesis to answer the GP’s question on research.

I wrote a script to download and categorize my Mercury Transactions and it is quite straightforward. Highly recommend it. I am looking to deprecate my Quickbooks usage after this year since it is such a pain to split payments into multiple

I think it may be just a lack of role models. When I went to high school in 2005 (30% black, 30% Latino) all of them basically modeled themselves after who they saw on tv. Blacks gravitated towards sports. Hispanics towards construction and

I am one of those people who got into tech as a teen in the late 90s when Microsoft was the capitalist bad guy, Google was the underdog, and Linux was socialism. Things were largely contained to the tech ecosystem. What I find interesting i

True! Buddha and Alexander the Great were really only 100 years apart. Greeks and Hindu deities have many similarities. The trimurthi of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva correlates pretty closely to Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. It works the other way as
