CoBE10 | 3 months ago | on: Archive or Delete?

For my personal mail I like using labels in Gmail instead of archive button. Basically, I categorize mail in a few categories:

1. Receipts, bill, utilities, etc. (Sublabel for every company)

2. Friends&Family (Sublabel for every person)

3. School and school related (Sublabel for every person)

4. Government and government related (Sublabel by organization)

5. Random and miscellaneous

It's archive, but somewhat organized

An adequate summary of Collier's critique can be found in the video (starting at 1:56:13): "I've started this whole project thinking: 'Oh my God, I hate Richard Feynman. He's such an a*hole.' But that doesn't make sense. I don't know anything about Richard Feynman. And now I am here—Richard Feynman never wrote a book. Richard Feynman constantly made up stories. He was a showman. Does anybody know anything about Richard Feynman? Can you hate a guy that does not exist? The legend of Richard Feynman is based on nothing about Feynman at all..."

As a Serbian keyboard user, I really dislike these keys: \ [] {} |. They always mess up my typing flow. The layout seems to prioritize punctuation like : , ; and - over the symbols needed for programming and markup, making them easier to reach compared to an English keyboard. It’s great for writing regular text, but when it comes to using LaTeX, it’s a pain since typing \ [] {} | feels like doing gymnastics with my fingers.

If your food ends up with freezing cold and boiling hot spots after microwaving, it’s probably because of how you’re using the microwave. Don’t use the high setting on completely frozen foods. Set it to medium instead. This gives the food time to heat up evenly. Microwaves mostly heat the surface, so a medium setting works better for even cooking.

CoBE10 | 2 years ago | on: How Quora died

I remember someone asking a question on Quora around 2015: "How long do you think Quora would last?" Someone answered that it probably would not last more than the next 5 years. I forgot what were the actual reasons he gave, but it gave me such an uneasy feeling that Quora could die in the next 5 years. Looking back at it now, it's probably around 2015 that it started becoming what it is today - SEO spam.

I'd like to give a shout-out to Common Voice Android: https://github.com/Sav22999/common-voice-android

It's a handy app for those interested in contributing to the project. You can record voices for the languages you speak and validate other user contributions. I used to be a frequent contributor about two years ago, and this app had a much more user-friendly design compared to the official website version.

Additionally, check out the official Common Voice Matrix channel: https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#common-voice:mozilla.org

I remember a certain Skyrim installer that was created by them. The progress bar would only update every 25%, and on my slow PC, it felt like an eternity waiting for the game to install. Also, if I recall correctly, the installer didn't create a desktop shortcut, so you had to hunt down where the game was installed. Those were certainly some memorable times.

CoBE10 | 2 years ago | on: Brave Search launches own image and video search

In the last few months Bing has been much more reliable for me at reverse finding original sources of cover album images that have been posted on Discogs. Google seems to not give me images that have been posted a long time ago (10+ years maybe), but Bing still does.
