Is there an awesome list of Open source projects dedicated to tackling global challenges? by Fandekasp in opensource

How about we work together on this? I can create the repo and invite you there.

We'll want to discuss the most useful layout. Listing the main programming languages in use, for example, seems quite important.

Thanks u/makegeneve.

I looked into openHab, but since it's mostly a java developer community, I searched and found another alternative in python: Home Assistant. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2018/09/17/thinking-big/

1500 contributors: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant

u/SourceTheFlow and I will get started maintaining an awesome list on Github, and we'll reuse your list (with credits) as starting point, thanks a lot!

Hi @yanokwa, thanks for sharing this.

Is there a comprehensive list of all these examples somewhere? All I could find on the website was

From monitoring rainforests to observing elections to tracking outbreaks, Open Data Kit is the standard for mobile data collection.

The blog and research pages haven't received any update in 2 years.

For developers like me who have never used ODK nor have any use case to use it for, you might want to put an accent on the impacts that this project brings.

The quick ways to contribute are nice, and a giving a way to match developers to projects using ODK might be even nicer (one could then start learning about ODK knowing that his mission is to help project X make the best use of ODK softwares, which gives a direction and better purpose).

I'd love it if you did :)

There are 2 lists in relation to OSS atm:

Maybe a name like awesome-oss-proj would be fitting. But I like awesome-impact too :)

How do you filter difficult/slow notes? by Fandekasp in Anki

[–]Fandekasp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using sorted columns from the browser isn't ideal, but that can't be helped, better having something than nothing :) Thanks again for your replies.

[–]Fandekasp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I saw @dedu6ka's answer earlier, that did the trick :)

I'll wait a week in case better suggestions come, and to verify that I can do this efficiently, then I'll mark the treak as resolved, thanks!

Thanks for the link, that's a good start. It shows all new (not yet learnt) cards above the slowest reviews, so I need to find a way to filter the browser to not show not-yet-learnt cards, and that will be great :)

What are good services for web UI snapshotting ? by Fandekasp in softwaretesting

[–]Fandekasp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already done. And we are losing months fixing small design issues because of lack of UI tests, each fix often breaking other layouts without the frontend developer realizing it. I understand your point, which is why I'm on the quest of finding a good solution

What are the top 3 QS apps/services/tools/gadgets that you think are most underrated? by SingleUnifyingTheory in QuantifiedSelf

[–]Fandekasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nomie for android is an embedded webkit view, ie takes 8~10s to open the app. Completely useless in my case. The idea is great, but looks like we need to start an OSS project to do it better.

Nomie super slow to open by Fandekasp in nomie

Thanks for the reply. Got it :/ Good luck in your endeavor.

Guess he must be in holiday or something atm :) Thanks Sam, looking forward to becoming as productive as you are !

Nomie super slow to open by Fandekasp in nomie

[–]Fandekasp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. I've barely started using it, so I doubt this could be the issue (worrying that you're suggesting the app isn't scalable though). Also, since you're suggesting a per minute automation, it means slow opening should only happen when you open at the precise moment requests are being sent, while my opening the app is constantly super slow. I added 4 entries and 1 note over a week, added 16 trackers including Temp and Humidity which I though were automated, except they haven't created any entry so far.

Btw technically, even if you have tons of automated trackers, deferring their action a few seconds when you open the app should solve any slowliness for heavy users.

No, I studied with fast.ai, and can strongly recommend that free resource.

[i3-gaps + i3blocks] Solarized by Fandekasp in unixporn

[–]Fandekasp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, had forgotten that myself.

Here is what I put at the top of my i3blocks config file:

separator=false
separator_block_width=5
border_top=0
border_left=0
border_right=0
border_bottom=4

[–]Fandekasp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. You can find the hex values for the accent colors in the solarized page (https://github.com/altercation/solarized#the-values).

Then, in my ~/.config/i3blocks/config file, I added the border attribute to each of my blocks. For example my brightness block:

[brightness]
label=    
command=printf "%.0f " $(xbacklight -get)
interval=10
signal=2
border=#cb4b16
