We might need to add some more logic to the recommendation algorithm
  • Huh. I saw cashback many years ago on tv or something but could never figure out the name even after a lot of googling. And here we are I've finally found it thanks to you. Maybe I'll give it another watch. For a long time I've thought about the thing of not looking at the clock when doing unpleasant activities. Thanks!

    world.hey.com Linux as the new developer default at 37signals

    For over twenty years, the Mac was the default at 37signals. For designers, programmers, support, and everyone else. That mono culture had some clear advantages, like being able to run Kandji and macOS-specific setup scripts. But it certainly also had its disadvantages, like dealing with Apple's awf...

    Is there any tool to show a timeline github repository events?
  • Thanks these are definitely a step in the direction of what I'm looking for!

    However, I'm more interested in the GitHub specific stuff like comments on issues and pull requests opened and labels changed. That sort of thing to see what is being worked on.

  • Unmapped USA - Mastodon Bot
  • This is so freaking cool thanks for sharing! Would be cool if the author auto kept a gallery of before and after for each place to show how much it is improving places.

    Also, I gotta say it must be crazy for someone to live in one of these little towns that's barely on the map and then one day they open whatever map app and boom everything is there! They probably just shake their head and say "technology..."

  • Recommend me some Quality of Life Android applications
  • First, if you can swing it I'd recommend getting a server with a static IP. You can get can get them as cheap as a few bucks a year from https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers ofc with that they may have more downtime than 5/mo boxes.

    Anyway, if you don't wanna pay you can use something like duckdns for dynamic DNS and get a free domain that automatically points to your new IP whenever it changes. Works well if you're hosting from home. :)

  • Recommend me some Quality of Life Android applications
  • I love tasks.org on Android but God I wish they'd add some NLP to parse out times. That's the one thing I miss from other apps. IIRC The issue in GitHub basically says that there isn't an easy library to do it with right now.

    It's so annoying to me that I'm considering trying to make a server side app to do this. Just pull the caldav and parse the titles and set the due date. Can't be that hard right?
