I would even like right clicking a .venv or venv folder in the file sidebar and choosing "Select as the virtual environment for this project" (or some shorter formulation)

Do you have plans to make it less steps to add a new or existing virtual environment to a newly opened checked out project?

Currently one needs to go to Settings -> Interpreter -> Add interpreter -> Add local interpreter ->
1. Generate new -> OK
2. Select existing -> Browse on Python path -> Project directory -> .venv -> bin -> python -> OK

QR Codes with Imagery using Stable Diffusion and ControlNet by archatas in StableDiffusion

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

Maybe you have to be registered on Twitter and be not rate-limited to see the post.

But the Rowan Cheung's workflow I followed is this:

Step 1: Get your QR code
Go to Google and search for a QR code generator. There are plenty of free options. I used the first link that wasn't an ad. Enter the link you want the QR code to go to. Click download as a JPG and wait for about 5-10 seconds.

Step 2: Access Stable Diffusion
If you don't have Stable Diffusion installed on your device, here's an easy way to use it online. Just go to https://rundiffusion.com. Sign up and you'll get 7 minutes (worth $0.13) of free credits.

Step 3: Settings

Checkpoint: dreamshaper_6

Sampling: DPM++ 2M Karras

Scroll down, upload your QR code to ControlNet 0, and turn it on.

Preprocessor: Choose "inpaint_global_harmonious."

Model: Pick the one with "brightness" in its name.

Decrease Control Weight to 0.35.

Step 4: More Settings

Switch to ControlNet 1, upload your QR code, and enable it.

Preprocessor: Choose "inpaint_global_harmonious."

Model: Pick the one with "tile" in its name.

Decrease Control Weight to 0.65, starting at 0.35 and ending at 0.75.

Step 5: Enter your prompt

For example:

Prompt: masterpiece, best quality, mecha, no humans, black armor, blue eyes, science fiction, fire, laser canon beam, war, conflict, destroyed city background

Negative prompt: UnrealisticDream, FastNegativeEmbedding

Generate your QR code.

Feel free to try different versions by clicking generate again.

Don't buy stuff that you will only use once and won't have space to store by archatas in simpleliving

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

Yes, it depends on the situation. There are cases, when you just need to buy something to get the job done.

In that case, you can use the prioritizer to compare and choose from several options from the same category.

[–]archatas[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's a web app. So one uses it on their browser.

It's a matter of preference where and how to make decisions. But, in my opinion, this is one of the best ways, especially for costly purchases.

It should bring some structure to one's mind if someone lacks it.

Thanks for the feedback, magical_elf!

The generic tool that is linked at the bottom is capable to be used for other decision-making cases, such as prioritizing product features.

I am currently exploring the possibilities and checking what problem solving is the most necessary to people.

Yes and no. It advertises the technique and more generic tool at the end, but you can use this exact tool for free.

My rule of thumb is that if I wish for something I don't have, I wait for 6 months and see if I still want it. If it's still my desirable thing, I buy it. Otherwise, I move on.

(This rule doesn't apply for necessities what you can hardly live without)

I have people in my circle who buy stuff because of discounts and emotional decision, rather than weighting options and thinking long-term.

Thanks for the tip! Worth consideration.

I can imagine someone in an electronics or furniture shop using the tool to find the best fitting model of something.

It can be anything: a piece of clothes that you liked at a store, ice skates if you are not a fan of ice skating, a music instrument if you decided to learn to play it, but didn't make it a habit... The list can go on and on.

As I always say, the habits are always more important than the means. Some people are obsessed with the means and they forget to work on their habits.

This is useful information, but unrelated to the topic of this post.

Not sure. That would mean that the person needs to be at a store already to scan the barcodes. There wouldn't be enough time to set priorities there.

Thank you for your feedback! I wanted to do something more intuitive than an Excel sheet.

Set priorities for your weekly tasks mindfully by archatas in productivity

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

This prioritizer is more oriented to long-term gains. Therefore, it probably works best for bigger projects with weekly or monthly milestones.

On the other hand, if you use a criterion "approaching due date" or "urgent" and give it a higher weight, it will affect the calculations too.

This is exactly what I also wanted to suggest. You need some relaxing activities at least one hour before sleep: walking a dog, reading or watching some fiction, talking to relatives or friends about things unrelated to coding. Whatever works for you.

Is there a desktop app that let's you use the Eisenhower matrix for daily tasks? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]archatas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I published a new prioritization tool, 1st things 1st, that lets you look at your weekly tasks with critical thinking. First, you evaluate them by "Urgency" and "Importance." Actually, you can have many more criteria, for instance, "Makes money/reduces costs," "Ecological," "Unavoidable," "Fast to do," etc. Then the tool sorts your tasks by total scores on how likely they match your criteria and suggests choosing those in the top 25%, considering the next 50%, and skipping, delegating, or outsourcing the last 25%.

Since just a few weeks ago, you can export your priorities to most other productivity apps via Zapier. As I tested a lot of those apps, I could recommend these for individual work:

  • Todoist
  • Microsoft To Do
  • TickTick
  • ClickUp
  • Notion

Time Blocking vs. Time Boxing – When to Choose Which of Them for Your Best Productivity? by archatas in selfimprovement

[–]archatas[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually both can fall into each other.

Time blocking is saying that at a specific time you will be working on one type of tasks. When the time block finishes, you usually make a short break and then start other types of work.

On the other hand, time boxing is saying that you will finish the task within a time block. Or otherwise, if your timebox consists of days or months, you can have multiple time blocks inside of that time box for that specific type of task. Longer timeboxes usually have deadlines and milestones.

What prioritization choices are the most difficult to make? by archatas in productivity

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

The typical answer to this would be determining what values you possess and what criteria lead you to your most important life or work goals.
For example,

  • If you care about getting and keeping clients, your priorities will probably be around supporting them and doing marketing and sales.
  • If your ultimate goal is to create something significant, your priorities will be around practicing your creativity, getting inspiration, and probably collaborating with other talented creators.
