In your experience, how is OneNote more useful over a simple markdown file with your daily notes? The latter is what I'm using and I wonder if I'm missing something by not using OneNote or even Miro.

I imagine attaching files in-line is one of these things, but maybe there's other stuff you can't do without?


I'm mostly using it because our company uses the Microsoft Office stack. I put in lots of screenshots and have many different sections, such as a tab for meeting notes with one page per individual or meeting series. Also, it integrated well with Teams


I don't have an answer, but at least for Europe you can use www.birdingplaces.eu. The website has some entries for California, but couldn't find condors. Good luck!



Great analogy - works when thinking about weight loss :) Embrace the hunger? A part of me hopes that life is not only made out of marshmallow tests[1]!

I got an eerie feeling setting it up on my phone.

Still not sure if I'll keep it, but like another commenter said, perhaps I'll embrace my percentage and just make the most out of what's left.

Cowardly (or cunningly?) I set the background to pure black like my regular wallpaper and the text to almost-black. So I think I'll forget about the wallpaper and every now and again, the percentage will jump at me late at night. Let's see :)

Thanks for this!


do you know if it's possible to step back in pycharm/intellij? the article mentions some debuggers having this ability, but i never saw an option in pycharm.

learning how to undo my last step would save so much time. right now, i have to anticipate a risky step and run that line in the debugger console.


Unfortunately I dont think there's any time traveling debugger - you can pretty easily go up and down the stack to see where the caller did x and write something in the console to do y, or you can set conditionals that would always trip when you are about to do something risky, but not go back in time.


This https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14767-time-travel-debug... gives time travel debugging for IntelliJ. (Disclaimer, I work for Undo.)

I don't think there is a solution for PyCharm.



magical indeed!

>> describe databases in the style of jay z

    Databases are like the rap game,
    Storing information, just like a player's fame.
    Keeps track of records, just like a DJ's record crate,
    And can be accessed anywhere, like a rapper's great escape.

    Organizing data like a producer's mix tape,
    Making sure it's secure, just like a bodyguard's gate.
    Indexes, queries, and tables, like a rap battle's rhymes,
    Keeping information safe, like a rapper's best lines.


I prompted:

>In the style of Nas's Illmatic, write two high quality rap verses about K-Means, ideally with internal rhymes and/or a pun.

  I'm in the zone, on a mission to cluster
  My data's looking messy, but I won't fuss sir
  I'm using K-Means, the algo of choice
  For breaking down data and finding my voice
  --
  I'm setting the number of clusters, call it k
  The algorithm does the rest, it's a piece of cake
  Yo I'm feeling like the king of data science
  High dimensional? I'm in defiance
  --
  I'm grouping my data and making it clear
  With K-Means I conquer data fears


> In the style of Nas's Illmatic, write two high quality rap verses about K-Means, ideally with internal rhymes and/or a pun.

  Verse 1:
  K-Means, the algorithm that reigns supreme
  Clustering data, making it clean
  Finding patterns, making it clear
  Helping us understand, removing the fear

  Verse 2:
  K-Means, the king of the cluster
  Takes data and groups it, like a hustler
  Finding groups, making them tight
  Making data make sense, it's a sight

  Chorus:
  K-Means, oh so keen
  Sorting data, making it serene
  A master of clusters, it's plain to see
  K-Means, the algorithm for you and me


High dimensional? Is the greatest line


Shoot, that is a terrifyingly impressive response.


I remember earlier LLMs didn't understand rhyming. Looks like that has changed.


Not to be a downer, but that sounds nothing like Jay Z. He's not known as a simile rapper ("X like Y"). It's more what your uncle who only listens to country music thinks Jay Z sounds like.

It's still impressive in some ways, but the style transfer aspect didn't work great here.


Are there any stories that stuck with you and would like to share?

I also had a period of time when i was reading many short stories but lost steam after trying a few which I didn't like.

A side-effect of reading short stories is that I forgot their title/author, including the 2-3 stories I enjoyed the most. Or maybe I'm just forgetful. One which I do remember is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Vision_(nov...


I’m really enjoying “howls from the dark ages” right now!


I have no allergies, so I can't imagine how that is. However, I had a back injury 3 years ago. I thought it'd heal fast but I got to the point of being afraid to carry my backpack when traveling somewhere. The chance of having an incredibly sharp pain makes me fear almost any kind of activity.

I also put off traveling before and now I regret not doing it while I was physically able to walk/hike around for hours on end.

I did physical therapy, swimming etc to make it feel better, but by now it's clear it will never improve past a certain point.

So yeah, travel while you can :)


I also suffer from chronic back pain and am currently following Dr John Sarno's methodology on TMS, it might help you:
