Some thoughts on ways to bring notes (and AI) into your daily routine

If you scan a lot of documents you would

I've followed Benn for years, and his critique of modern revenue models for musicians. It's stunning to me that a duopoly can punish musicians for speaking out like this.

I love this! I'm starting to feel this is a solution to a lot of info-overload stress in our lives. I'm making an iOS app with the same slant: every day has its own list, so you start fresh every day, or you can add to your tomorrow's list at night so you start the day prepared. I also added a bullet-journal-like view for the month and it all adds up to a lot less stress than what I've been doing before (the testflight is at https://testflight.apple.com/join/t5ZpRV2l )

Not to mention that adding an image chops 20+ chars of my limit. Want a URL in there and maybe a hashtag? You're down to less than 100 characters. These arbitrary platform limits should not burden the end user.

The screen you're talking about is just C64 BASIC. You'd do LOAD to get Turbo Assembler into memory (from cassette tape or disk), then go from there...

Product Hunt

The store is a must visit if you come to Vancouver - it's in Kitsilano so you get to see one of our trendier neighbourhoods as well.

Not really, it speaks highly of their SOC.

I love pourovers and ended up getting this Bodum auto: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jordanshapiro/2013/04/07/hands-o...

It makes a very good pourover, I recommend it if you don't have the time to do it properly.

Well, except the work on the new language according to the language creator didn't start until July 2010, a month after this post.

It's amazing that Apple managed to go from hatching the idea in mid-2010 to releasing a fully working framework 4 years later, with tight IDE integration, huge amount of testing and compatibility without a single leak (that I've heard of).

I feel it's really important for us, as consumers, to support companies like Newegg. This strategy is really risky for them (despite all the good PR it brings).

It's easy for patent trolls to just move onto different targets and avoid suing combative companies like Newegg, but if we vote with our dollars maybe more companies will see that they too should take a stand.

And the on-boarding process was so painful - it took me weeks to load up ALL my photos onto Everpix. After they failed, I signed up with Loom and again it took over a month for it all to upload. I feel sad as I don't envy the next startup that tries to "solve" this very real problem.

Yes - you have to move the camera upwards as it takes a series of photos. It is not working from a single photo.

Except for this bit:

Facebook is testing a pop-up notification that asks users who haven't reviewed their settings in a while whether they'd like their posts to be shared publicly by default, to their friends by default or another more specific setting.

I feel this is an attempt to get those of us only sharing with friends to reconsider sharing publicly.

Also important to note: Fastmail has been rock solid for me (and I should know - over 10 years there). Gmail outages seem frequent compared to the number of times I remember FM going down.

Also not true: Apple doesn't get "Engagement" data from the app, so that part of the ranking formula is wrong.

I just wanted to say how slick their service is, I just used it earlier today and was paired with a very competent agent. I'm now waiting for the day Flightfox can take care of the whole thing, including booking a flight. There is a definite opportunity there!

Well, if you see what happened with UDID and how much kerfuffle there was to get from there to IDFA it's pretty obvious Apple wants to protect the user.

For a contrast to Android you just need to read this article: http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140130170002-11...

I always felt Medium borrowed heavily from Svbtle, which came first. Now, Svbtle brings something different to the table: like Medium, it's simple to use and focused on writing. Unlike Medium, you get to own your identity, use your CNAME, etc...

Man, this scared the crap out of me as I've been using OS X Mail for years. As others have pointed out, the post is completely wrong, here's my privacy test result after I viewed the delivered message:

Yes - of course Load Images is disabled in settings. What else would you expect? If I press Load Image button most of those boxes of course turn red.

We're testing a deep linking service that works both before and after the app is installed and integrates with URX/DeepLink.me and others. If you'd like to join the beta just email slaven at gmail.

Well Google Chrome as of last year was based on Apple's open source Webkit so that's not quite true.

I think it's no longer accurate to think of this as "MS-focused attack but only because OS X is not as popular". Today, iOS is used by many more people than OS X as their primary computing device and I would say it's pretty safe from this type of attack.

The word you're looking for is illegal.

There is nothing "sneaky" about this.

Yes, a lot of older systems (non-Unix) were case sensitive.

I've read several posts where people are trying to identify a female-lead accelerator - exactly counter to the warning in the story:

"I may have also changed the gender of certain people (i.e. he/she), again, with approval of the author."

So lets not point fingers based on gender alone.

I take a ton of iPhone photos, but still I just bought another prime for my mirrorless camera (GH2). When taking photos of people it is still night-and-day difference between the two and bringing those photos to Lightroom always makes me smile compared with what Lightroom can do with iPhone photos. And 40 megapixel Nokia won't change that (lacking in lenses + dynamic range)

But don't get me wrong - I love that my phone is good enough for photography to have on me all the time.
