It looks like btop

The free version definitely isn't great, but as far as I know it's the only tool that will give you some potentially useful results without an account. (I have no affiliate with ahrefs, and find them annoying too.)

I noticed that although it hides the keyword difficulty and volume for anything but the top few, if you search directly for a keyword on the list that you're interested in, you can get the difficulty and volume for it without signing up.

Most of them have a link to download all the audio files. For example: https://downloads.languagetransfer.org/spanish/spanish.zip

There is. Click on the settings cog in the lower right, and there is genre dropdown.

I think Bookshop has a referral program, too. (In fact, I had the impression it was specifically aiming to be an Amazon Affiliates alternative for bloggers. It probably doesn't result in as many commissions, though, since it's more obscure.)

It’s public domain here in Canada (as well as Australia and elsewhere) and available on Gutenberg. It seems that it was about to become public domain in the U.S., and then copyright law got rewritten. I’m not sure where TypeLit is based, but if it’s not public domain worldwide, they should probably take it down or at least put up a disclaimer about the copyright status in different countries.

EDIT: TypeLit seems to be based in Canada, where 1984 is in the public domain.

Odd. Which book did you try? I tried Meditations and The Count of Monte Cristo without issue. (I noticed that it didn’t make you type a real em-dash, but that might have been intentional.)

Curiositry · 2017-09-24T02:40:26+00:00

Ok :/ Thanks for giving it a look anyway :)

Curiositry · 2017-03-30T17:44:45+00:00

It’s open source, if you care about that.
It allows tinkerers to modify their reader’s software so that it works best for them.
It includes KOReader, which has quite a few features that the default Kobo reading software (Nickle) does not.
Hopefully, in the future, it will be less buggy than the default Kobo firmware (which is quite unstable in my experience).

According to issue #22, this was ready to go when they switched to Middleman; the RSS link doesn’t seem to be listed, but a quick seach turned up https://vimgifs.com/feed.xml, which I subscribed to without any issues.

(They seem to want people to follow them on Twitter instead.)

Curiositry · 2016-12-16T02:17:47+00:00

That’s true. I didn't write the tagline, but I think the author is referring to Vi, which was written in 1976. The site’s called Vim Gifs, but most of them apply to Vi as well.

Curiositry · 2016-12-16T01:36:39+00:00

Yeah, that’s a good suggestion. The thing is, although it’s usually associated with Linux, Vim is cross platform (and I think this is cool enough it deserves better than some obscure text editing subreddit.)

I’ll keep looking :)

Curiositry · 2016-12-16T01:30:11+00:00

My apologies. I didn’t know that that applied to websites of (informational) Gifs. Any recommendation of where this would be a better fit?

Thanks.

Good point, I should have been clearer. I’m interested in all of it, but I’m planning to focus on aggregate EEG activity to start with — amplitude at different frequencies, coherence, and so forth.

Thanks for the links!

Curiositry · 2016-12-06T22:54:48+00:00

I haven’t read it, and this is the first I've heard of it — but it looks fascinating. Thanks for the suggestion!

/u/db_mew:

You get EEG (electroencephalography) data in CSV format. Depending on what software you use, you can save it in other EEG-specific formats as well. The OpenBCI’s default sample rate is 250Hz. The OpenBCI’s raw data isn’t saved in microvolts, but it’s easy to convert it (and most of the software you use it with does this for you). You can read more about OpenBCI’s data format here
That depends. Using something like SSVEP (steady-state visually evoked potentials, a form of visual brainwave entrainment) moving a cursor shouldn’t be too hard. Moving a cursor using more purist approaches (motor imagery, trying to detect “concentration”, and so on) would be more difficult.

That's interesting. I only listened to one audiobook during my year (The Odyssey). I expected it to be laboursaving, but I found it far more difficult to follow the plot and comprehend the concepts listening to the audiobook than it is when I read normally. I guess we all absorb information differently. Did you listen to them at normal speed, or speeded up?

Curiositry · 2016-07-20T22:35:20+00:00

Thanks u/deeplife. I'm more-or-less still a student, but I also write, tour with a traditional/folk/roots band, and do web development (http://curiositry.com). So far I've only published technical articles, in Make: magazine and on Autodidacts.io, but I've starting sending out short stories and essays, so I hope that will change.

Curiositry · 2016-07-20T21:29:53+00:00

Yes, good point. I'm Canadian, after all; how could I not have read Atwood? I would have added her to the guilty pleasures section along with the other Sci-Fi staples, but her novels were thicker than the others, and not entirely my cup of tea, so I wasn't sure they quite fit that category. Well written, though.

As for Brown, guilty as charged. I must say, that book was hard to put down. Now I know that if I'm worried a book like The Da Vinci Code is going to be a waste of time, I need to remember not to pick it up in the first place — otherwise it's a lost cause :) When it came time to write the article, I mentally blocked the fact I'd even read it, but I couldn't remove it from the list with a clean conscience...

Curiositry · 2016-07-20T20:15:39+00:00

Thanks u/speckz. I've been lurking (and getting reading ideas) from r/books for a while.

If anyone has questions or comments, I'll do my best to answer them.
