A lot of duplicate posts about this from various news agencies. Thanks for posting the original source.

Yeah I'm constraining myself to just locations within Portland city limits. If you take a look at the map there should be a layer which you can enable which shows the city boundaries. If I included the metropolitan area there would probably be well over 100 locations, that's probably too many to visit multiple times!

I mistakenly submitted this little personal project as a "Show HN" yesterday as I wasn't aware of the guidelines.

Google reviews piss me off because it's either 1 star or 5 stars and who knows if the person actually ate the food. I wish people had to visit a place multiple times, spaced out, before their ratings would even count. I decided to take that philosophy and apply it to one dish, Phở.

I'm going to all the restaurants that serve phở in Portland, Oregon's city limits and rating them. You can see the ranking, but not the point values until I've visited twice. Technically you can go get the data as it's open source and get the scores, but most people are too lazy to do that. It's a simple static site built with astro, so hammer away at what I did wrong.

I've been going in spurts over the past couple years and I'm hoping to get through the first round within the next month or two. I'm a white guy that doesn't know anything so of course the ratings are completely subjective.

That's pretty hard/impossible to do with Phở as the noodles will degrade pretty quickly. I'm hoping that go 3 times to a place spread over time will help average out the swings in my tastes.

That's what I typically will do, or search key phrases that I care about. I agree that there would be a lot less reviews, but I'd personally prefer quality over quantity.

Thanks, I did not read those guidelines and it seems you are right!

Full article is only available to subscribers, but I thought the premise of having this transparency pretty refreshing.

How a man met a woman and they set off on an epic journey across six continents in one amazing unbreakable car

I agree, several little issues with Japanese that don't make it currently useful. Cool idea though!

I'm getting the same, it's a 400 response.

I'm in Portland and I say that anyone that lives on the Eastside within 82nd and works within those bounds should just get a bike, it's sooo much faster to get around the city. We have infamously small city blocks so all those intersections make driving a car very slow through the city and for good reason as it's safer. If you hop on a bike and take a greenway that has all the stop signs facing perpendicular traffic you can zoom around the city no problem. It's the exact same amount of time (from door to desk) for me to drive to work as it is to bike to work (including the shower). It's just shy of 7 miles. No brainer.

Really cool. The main thing I wish is that the transitions between "slides" was slower and not just a quick crossfade. The current transition is a bit disorienting mean I have to look around again to see where I am relative to where I was. Looking forward to seeing something like this on a VR headset.

Davinci Resolve is miles better than Premiere. I don't do a lot of compositing, but I know more and more people are starting to use it over After Effects as well.

Steens Mountain summit is at 9,738′ and is pretty much smack dab in the middle of the darkest region. It's pretty awesome up there.

How do you fix the routes? I just checked out the suggested route from my work to home and it doesn't stick to the bike greenways or streets with bikelanes. It actually suggested I take a very dangerous road with no bike traffic at all. How can I help improve that?

Also curious. I was looking locally for some sort of meetup/show where I could see people builds, ask about cost, etc. Sadly I just missed an expo the previous weekend.

Audio that went along with the physical issue of the NY Times Magazine, also in digital form. I'm a big fan of audio tours so thought it was a cool format to travel the world.

I actually used Anki cards to study LeetCode problems when preparing for interviews and it seemed to help. After doing a problem and solving it I created the card as such:

- Front of card is the entire LC problem statement

- Back is a bulleted list of the steps or key points (ie. first I notice this list is unsorted, so I would sort first, next I would do blah blah..)

- Back also contains the code solution that I might just glance through or look at a particular part of it.

I would actually advise against it, or at least take the approach of removing cards that are too easy. I remember reading some article about spending your time learning stuff that is "just hard enough". When you study things that are easy you are kind of wasting time, you want to the material to be +1 in difficulty what you already know, not +0, not +250. While the easy questions give you satisfaction, they aren't helping you actually learn. I would argue that multiple cards on the same subject end up equating to a bunch of time wasting easy cards.

The disclosure to this is that I also don't think you should spend a lot of time figuring out how to create cards. There is some payoff in optimizing the process, but focus on just making the cards and reviewing them so you are learning the actual target subject.

All that said, my current approach is to create cards for concepts that I think are a little hard to understand or that I know I won't see enough repetition in daily work/tasks. If I find out after a few weeks the cards are too easy or too similar I usually with just delete it.

This is such a great resource. Definitely useful as a newish SWE.

I'm currently using Adobe bridge to cull my old photos and add keywords to them for better searching.

One of the main things in trying to find is a good system of adding keywords and ratings that is tied to the file without any side cars. Is this even possible? Does Photoprism store it's labels in a sidecar or is it editing the exif of the photo?

It would be nice to be able to organize photos in a platform agnostic way.

After going thru this it made me double down on SRS Recall with Anki and it has helped me a lot. For things that you can get solid repetition thru daily life, work, etc it isn't necessary, but if it's not something that you'll encounter often enough now using SRS will speed up the initial learning stages.

Like mentioned above though don't get caught up in optimization. Just make your cards and review them.

34 here, spent a decade as a Project Manager in manufacturing. Quit without an idea of what I wanted to do, 3 months later decided to learn web development. After a year out of work I was hired at a FAANG company. I'm only three months in and the recent layoffs may mean I get kicked out, but I've been enjoying the work so far and everyone I work with is giving me positive feedback.

You need to create some way to keep yourself accountable and to make an effort everyday, no matter how small, toward you're goal. It takes work and a lot of time, but you can do it!
