I've spent some time to find a way to turn my twitter timeline into an RSS feed. It seemed like a lot of work to me. Which approach do you favor?

It's relatively easy find solutions to produce RSS feeds from individual twitter users, but I'd like to read my whole timeline in the RSS reader. There's one tool called [twitter-to-rss](https://github.com/ankitshekhawat/twitter-to-rss), but I haven't tried it and it might be outdated.

I think it's fine to have more checks for "normal" users, but I'd like to see a better UI for experienced users.

Either there could be a pro-mode app/setting that let's use tone down the warnings a bit and give the extra "allow" option already in the first dialog.

And/or let app developers add an extra dialog to ask for ermissions on install (e.g. in Homebrew).

I haven't tested this but apparently you can disable Gatekeeper completely using:

sudo spctl --master-disable

Atlassian's own hosted version was often very sluggish for me too, although granted that the self-hosted version were a bit worse...

I wish there was also an iOS version, that I could also access my notes from there.

Great idea, I've signed up already.

I have a pretty obvious feature request: I'd like to be able to pace weekly mails to a specific day of the week. I receive a couple of interesting newsletters, but they tend to arrive distributed all over the week and I'd prefer to receive them all for the weekend, i.e. Friday night.

So extending your original idea one could add more specific terms in your subdomain hierarchy. I.e. 19.friday.weekly.paced.email or 7pm.friday.weekly.paced.email.

I assume you should record the user's timezone on sign-up maybe? Or encode it too in a subdomain. I'm not sure which would be more consistent/simple idea...

I've you'd like to implement full cron schedules I'd assume you'd have to replace the wildcard * symbol somehow, but that seems more like an advanced/geek future and would have less appeal for mainstream users.

Some of the advice from David Graeber's book "Bullshit Jobs" seems appropriate. Although you seem to still fulfill a useful function at Google, I found myself using some of the same strategies too.

Being conscious of the demotivating aspects of a job that has too low expectations is described very well in this book.

Our software solutions are used across all sectors and are used by companies in industry, commerce, housing construction, machine manufacturing and many other categories. Innovative technologies and standards are chosen for the conception and implementation in order to meet the qualitative requirements of our customers. Thus, we use the appropriate architecture and technology for the respective use case and usually work with agile methods (Scrum, Kanban).

Our current projects in the field of software development rely on the following technologies:

- Process platform for the replacement of paper-based internal processes (Spring, Angular)

- Web-based shift planning (Spring, Angular)

- Application for testing and evaluating device data (AWS Lambda, Angular)

- Automotive BPMN platform (Spring, Angular, Microservices)

- Construction machines fleet management (Spring, Angular, Microservices, PWA)

- Blockchain-based digital car registration (Spring, Angular, Microservices, ethereum)

- Applications for blood donation services

It mentions the German plants are closing, but the plan is to do this in 2038...

I think it's quite reasonable. My bike is my only vehicle and I don't own a car. It's actually the fastest way to commute in my larger city in Germany.

On the other hand I find it incomprehensible how someone would spent more than 10K for a car that for me seems to offer only very marginal advantages day-to-day. For vacations cars are nice, but then I can just rent one or go by train/plane too.

5 year warranty on bike frames is pretty standard. I've shopped around after my aluminium frame broke after 6 years and nearly all manufacturers offered 5 years.

How well does the Hangouts integration work? I found it involved too many steps when using Hangouts in Slack

I only read that Gladwell overemphasized the specific number but that the overall idea is still true. The original research Ericsson was trying to emphasize that long duration of training using deliberate practice are key.

There's an episode of the Freakonomics podcast that describe the whole situation and it has interviews with both Gladwell and Ericsson: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/peak/

ERICSSON: Now, right. Gladwell basically thought that was kind of an interesting magical number and suggested that the key here is to reach that 10,000 hours. I think he’s really done something very important, helping people see the necessity of this extended training period before you reach high levels of performance. But I think there’s really nothing magical about 10,000 hours. Just the amount of experience performing may in fact have very limited chances to improve your performance. The key seems to be that deliberate practice, where you’re actually working on improving your own performance — that is the key process, and that’s what you need to try to maximize.

I first heard about it in the excellent learning how to learn online course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Would it be possible to implement a plugin to Intellij which uses this and achieves sth. similar to Floobits?

That's a nice summary of some good techniques. I'll send this around in my team to improve our MRs.

The link to the submission here should be different though I think. It should be

instead of

I haven't received mine yet, but I've read that you have to get the latest snapshot lede to profit from some WiFi performance bug fixes.

Although I see the appeal I feel that any more distraction is exactly the opposite of what I want. Maybe I see this way to serious but I would be tempted to use this all the time and I'd assume I'd work much worse.

Yeah, that's what I thought. What's the difference between these?

I like Quiver but I wish it would store regular Markdown files instead of JSON. Equally important an Android app that can add notes or alternatively Simplenote syncing would make me consider switching from nvAlt.

I took several courses with professor Zeller and with post-docs at his chair. We applied the described concept of "delta debugging" to finding programming errors in python programs.

Suprisingly it was possible to implement this in the course although one had to fiddle so much with Python's internals.

Zeller's chair homepage has a lot of additional infos. Here's a page on how the idea evolved after the initial paper in 1999: https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/dd/

For Intellij there's also AceJump, but I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/johnlindquist/AceJump

I've worked on something similar except that we used a stream database. Today you might use RethinkDB or something similar.

The osquery events seem to solve these kind of monitoring/alerting problems. But I didn't find easily find their documentation.

Instapaper offers a somewhat reduced pocket/pinboard premium experience for free since last November. Importing from pocket is very easy, I don't know about pinboard.

To avoid confusion: the premium level is the default level now...

This seems similar to JHipster:

Hipster is a Yeoman generator, used to create a Spring Boot + AngularJS project. Goal Our goal is to generate for you a complete and modern Web app, unifying:

A high-performance and robust Java stack on the server side with Spring Boot A sleek, modern, mobile-first front-end with AngularJS and Bootstrap A powerful workflow to build your application with Yeoman, Bower, Gulp and Maven

Yes, that was also the analysis for the recent Linux layer in Windows. At the same time Powershell was ported which allows Windows admins to continue to use their tools.

I've also had few issues all in all. The key is to get compatible hardware and you'll mostly be fine.

I still do wonder why reddit was reimplemented in Python, but with rewrites in other languages I think that rewriting in itself made it more readable and not using the other language. Plus maybe using a web framework instead of doing most by hand, because I assume lisp had even fewer good web frameworks than python then.

http://bootstraptour.com/ is very similar to this.

Are there more tiny houses anywhere in or around Germany?

Was one faster than the other? Are there things that can only be done with one of them?

Recently I tried to get a figwheel configuration with Cursive working and in the ended up letting figwheel run the server and perform the Clojurescript compilation in one JVM. There's a great Leiningen template to get this working with reagent here: https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent-template
