I worked for a place that removed all bins from peoples desks and offices, so the only bin left was in the kitchen. I suspect the idea was to "remove the bins to reduce waste", but we still ate our lunches and just went for many w

If anyone has any links to existing products, or organisations looking at this stuff let please post details here (or email me) and I'll update the references on the blog post. I didn't find much at all in terms of software, but w

Author here - having caregivers certainly changes it, but I was focusing on a possible technical solution in addition to caregivers. It would still be nice to have some impartial device tell you or confirm that what is going on, is actually

I think the problem is that it isn't a single nut to crack - everyone works slightly differently, some like a clean interface, others like all the info laid for them. With Notes and tasks, it is quite personal, so any issues in the int

Do you have any good examples?

Writing down your ideas is a good thing - you may likely come back to them later and expand / learn from them. I think the trick is to work out what you "really want to execute" vs "what you are willing to spend time to

The way the law reads, we won't know if they have installed backdoors for Australia as they aren't allowed to notify people about it. Mind you, if they all exited the country - along with Netflix and Facebook then I'd imagine

Can launches can be targeted (legally) to a country? The site is hosted in London and am already GDPR compliant - wonder if this is means it is not under Australian laws?

That's the scary part about this - a company is not allowed to tell people when the data was accessed

Thanks! I don't hosting overseas would work, but then again - who knows how it would be implemented.

I am an Australian software developer and am currently getting https://www.lifepim.com ready for release which, funnily enough has the main selling point as "Your data is private, secure and free from adverts" - what a

Yes, I take a lot of notes - I used to use physical notebooks ( http://cloudeddesigns.com/img/design-books.jpg ) and have tried many digital products. I wrote and now use https://www.lifepim.com as my prima

Thanks for this - really nice to read, and cleared up a lot of things I have seen and didn't really get. A couple of typos: Page 103 of PDF under "Event bubbling and event capturing" Bubbling and capturing are the 2 models t

That looks pretty cool - are those video effects or is it really showing files writing to different files?

I think there are 2 main problems with working on universal prediction: 1. getting all the information to the program in a usable, computational format. 2. Defining the requirements (old problem but a good one). How would you actually desig

Yes, but it wont be an easy road to get there and I have no idea how well, or if the bulk of internet users will care enough to get on board with them. That doesn't matter though, as there is a set of people who value their own data an

I came across this video that shows the potential issues with this bill https://youtu.be/eW-OMR-iWOE What is concerning is I am building a information management system that focuses on privacy and this sort of bill makes a

Nice save, well done. Understand that the advisors won't be able to give personal feedback, but I am happy to be discussing ideas / issues / feedback with other peers.

That really stung to get the "Your in" then "Sorry, Out" emails, but mistakes happen and appreciate the apology here. Did the "Your in" emails go to everyone who applied, or was it a subset of applications?

I use https://www.lifepim.com (disclaimer: I wrote it) for all my notes now. It has a simple cut down version of markdown with headings, code blocks and linking which works very well for me. I manage the structure through the f

Sorry for your loss, and hope you have friends / family for support. But, in terms of "why bother doing anything" - well, that is a big bag of worms, which really none of us should entertain as a thought. In reality, in 100

Well said, but of course it takes many years of learning to achieve this breadth of understanding - but completely worth it. And I am still surprised by how many programmers also love woodwork.

nice to see demos in action without running random code - thanks. Demos are without a doubt the best way to show the maths can look cool.

Thanks for this - has some useful info, and I will be implementing a couple of missing header details on my site. But, overall the security scan gives a lot of fails, when in reality I don't think it would know this. For example > S

Not a bad effort - a little heavy on resources, but I suppose the point is to showcase a lot of things and a bit of bling is not out of place. I like the candour of your text, esp "dont have any customers" - nice to see! When link

If you aren't actually creating content [art, software, serious writing, etc] then using a mobile is fine for just consuming and it isn't surprising that these groups don't know how to use a computer. It is sad though, that y

Yes, Wine has been around for a while, and it's pretty amazing software, but DOOM was a native linux release - cant remember how I installed it, but a linux version has been around since 1994 http://doom.wikia.com/wiki&

Wow, time flies doesn't it? That was my first intro to Linux - installing on a 386 I think. Compiling stuff to get the sound card and CDROM working. Lots and LOTS of learning. And finally, when it all worked - playing DOOM which actual
