• πŸ”— Code With Me - Plugins | JetBrains

    by
    Code With Me is a new service created by JetBrains for collaborative development and pair programming.
    I've been doing a lot of remote pair programming at work lately. This Code with Me plugin for PyCharm looks like it could make it a lot easier. Can't wait to try it out.

  • πŸ”— STEALING UR FEELINGS

    by
    Meet the new AI that knows you better than you know yourself
    Stealing ur feelings is a brilliant interactive video that shows the danger of facial recognition and how it's already being abused by advertisers. All the more reason to keep wearing a mask, even post-covid.

  • πŸ”— Codeberg.org

    by
    Codeberg is founded as a Non-Profit Organization, with the objective to give the Open-Source code that is running our world a safe and friendly home, and to ensure that free code remains free and secure forever.
    I haven't used Codeberg (a GitHub alternative), but their copy on front page strikes me.
    No tracking. Your data is not for sale.
All services run on servers under our control. No dependencies on external services. No third party cookies, no tracking.
Hosted in the EU, we welcome the world.
    Using external services for every last thing, you end up with your data being spread out amongst multiple (unknown to you) vendors, each with different security-implications / privacy policies / regulations all across the world. It makes your service more brittle (increased points of failure) and less secure (increased attack vectors). Seeing a service make this central to their product is refreshing.
    Focusing on privacy and hosting in non-US owned/operated datacenters in the EU will be a competitive advantage when going up against the US tech companies in the future, if it isn't already.

  • The Week #23

    by


    • In addition to reading and writing notes about Atomic Habits, I've also started to re-read some books that inspired me in the past and write notes so I can reference them later. This week is the fantastic book Web Form Design ( my notes ). Do you really need a book about such a mundane topic? When you consider that forms are the bottleneck for all online interactions, yes.

    • I managed to run 5km 3 times last week using Habit Stacking. The habit is basically as follows "After a cup of coffee at 5:30am I will run for 30 minutes". Since I'm not fast enough for a 30 minute 5km yet, it usually works out to 30 ~ 35 minutes.

    • Stacking my running habit around coffee is what seems to work for me. When I first started running (and managed to sustain the habit for 5 or 6 months) in 2018, it was also similar. Except Leo was an infant and I couldn't make coffee at 4:30am without fear of waking him. Since it was summer and the sun rises around then in Japan, I'd go for a run with my endpoint being one of the local 7-11's, where I could get an ice coffee and walk home.

    • I tried the Plant Balls on a trip to ikea, and they're proper tasty. Technically I got the meatballs and my wife got the plant balls and we shared one, but I think they're my new default.

    • I bought my first proper bookshelf and it's in the minimal style of bookshelf I've always wanted (photo in my tweet). I wish I had the space so I could chain multiple shelves together for a wall of books. Like most of the rest of the furniture in my house, it's from Muji. And it's properly screwed into the walls because this is Japan.
