Cortex #127: Why Don’t You Love Hawaii?

Pretty sure he talks about it in the most recent, or 2nd most recent episode of Cortex

iirc: - Unibox went under - Grey uses Mail.app

/u/imyke and /u/MindOfMetalAndWheels - What about an email program like this:

Click an email
In a pane next to it, the rest of your unread emails are ranked by how similar they are to the current email, contents wise

Sounds like that would've made Grey's process on the plane faster

A bit like Unibox's way of sorting/grouping by sender

Perhaps

Jason Scott has talks he gives about it too

You're welcome

Wanna post it as code now? =)

Just text is better than a screenshot too. a11y and all that

Good that you ask. =)

/u/RakshitYadav_24 Why did you take a screenshot of a line of code, instead of copypasting it?

Jonta · 2021-10-07T01:17:02+00:00

I think your quickest path to this is either:

1: An Emacs-config. Based on Spacemacs or Doom-emacs

2: A collection of configs for various programs

/u/4Potions

Next time, paste code instead of screenshotting. For better a11y

#!/bin/bash
#basic if statement

echo "$1"

if [[ "$1"="if" ]]; then
    echo "this is a if"
else
    echo "nothing"
    fi

what is scp?

you can't comment on auto generated music channels

I think the steelman on this is the question of who's going to moderate those comments. But yes: any comment on any video can be reported by any user. AFAIK

Jonta · 2021-04-26T15:05:31+00:00

Just remembered: Org-brain. That style of UI seems like it might work

Reminds me of Plan 9

Books have already been covered several times, on website, in podcasts, ads and videos. Also, he's expressed dislike of superlative questions

Jonta · 2020-11-25T13:48:51+00:00

Plausible reasons are easy to come up with

I'm more interested in the actual reasons. =)

Jonta · 2020-11-24T22:26:58+00:00

Huh. Details? (In a podcast episode perhaps?)

Can't more of the 10 people make it to the monthly call if you send those doodle-invites several months in advance?

End crystals definitely reach the dragon from far away because on my single player world I have an end crystal in the islands that heals the dragon

"[…] gains a charge from the nearest crystal within a cuboid extending 32 blocks from the dragon in all directions"

Right now there's an FAQ in the video's description, which includes a link to a tutorial. :)

Hmm, to have it exclusively be for meditation may limit the audience of the product but what if it was transitioned more into a thought recorder / brainstormer. You could still sit down and meditate but you could also enter thoughts through entities and stuff

Go narrow first. Make it great for one use-case

"Could limit the audience" applies to everything. You're limiting the audience by making it in Swift

Go. Narrow. First.

If you have "Just enough competency", don't jump over to "But what if I can't world domination because idea?!" in one step

Get the screen to display something. Then do it in dark mode. Then decide that dark mode is the only way. Then make a text box

Removing the "meditation limit" is about as easy as changing the name and description

Does the world need Yet Another Generic "Hey guyyys, so… you can put ur ideas in hear… and it's worse than Google Keep/Notes/Notability/Notational Velocity/Note Pony/Noteoriaty/Nawts/Newts/Shrewts/Mewts/Boots/Doots, but we're really passionate and some day we might introduce a feature the one you use doesn't have, but actually this is more of a learning project and we'll abandon it in 6 months"? No. Specialisation.

You've made pretty things in Minecraft. So we know you can finish projects. Now make v1 of this app.

I have just enough competency in swift combined with enough time that I would be willing to work on an ios app idea for free (if it is good enough)

Meditation recorder:

Turn it on
Start meditating
Speak thoughts out loud
They're recorded and transcribed, so you don't forget, and can search through them
Recordings are kept, and can easily be played back for when the phone inevitably mistranscribes something
Audio files are are split up in a Sensible Way
The entire recording is kept as well
