But that's not the point.. point is that Airbnb forbid me to publish photos from the apartment.. so, next time you see nice looking photos, also keep in mind that content is censored to benefit middleman..

Of course i admit that always there are situations when you feel sorry for naming it bad.. i.e. db table names.. but thats called expirience.. more years you spent on coding more abstract and proper name you will give to you class, folder, component, table, module and etc..

But im expecting classification to be done by some personal AI system. Latter system must be able extract this data on demand.

Seriously.. few things becoming clear. Good brain extension or assistant MUST:
1. Record your minds silently.. without noticing him.. thats why basic tools like notepad, markup editors and etc.. usefull.. however best thing i would like to see is device which always listening me and keeping notes.. keeping notes.. constantly. Without disturbing me..
2. This smart device must be able to organize information somehow.. i don't want to mix omlete recipe with important new Angular version features. I don't mind how to organize. It can be hidden from my understanding. Like real human brain. as long as i can extract and reconstruct data, im fine.
3. Obvious next step is utilizing data when you need it.. but if it is well organized in 2nd step.. should not be a problem.. or not? Aaa.. forgot. Once required data piece is found it must be read loud..
So far.. NONE of the solutions i tryed are close to this targets.. there are plenty of complicated solutions.. there are plenty of greedy solutions.. there are plenty of usless solutions.. but none of them helped me to organize hudge amount of personal data we have.
Did i told that it must be open source (doesn't mean i dont want to pay for it) and strictly I MUST own data?.. so..telling.
Ok. If someone is expirienced with good human memory extension techiques or software PLEASE please.. it will so great

2. Learned tested and implemented for fun few visuals from this link: https://datavizcatalogue.com/index.html
3. Learned and tested two diferent frameworks for the web scraping.. nice, interesting what will be our role at the time when one machine prepare information and another machine will consume it..
4. Found interesting analysis at: https://www.vox.com/a/maps-explain-the-middle-east
5. Checked what are the main advantages of timescaledb and how can i benefit from it: https://www.timescale.com
6. Learned and tested how it works css data attributes https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-data-attributes/?...
7. Read 20+ long and detailed wikipedia articles to find out definitions and origins of various terms and subjects
Read anothe hundred or more of posts and newspaper artivles, but i think it was wasting of time, because so many authors writing to get click but not tell something important/interesting.. subjective. I do agree.. problem is that i always hope that maybe at the end i will find some briliant mind or conclusion. so, im reading whole article.. need to change this bad habit..
Not bad week.. but always can be better..;) thing what im missing is - continuity.. but thats probably something what need to fix by myself..;)
...
This werk i also climbed 3 peaks with prominance grater than 1000 meters and elevation 2300-2700m... on commercial side i implemented two small automation improvements. Changes will benefit client company and at the end - myself..

1. Climbing mountains, hiking. 2. Have a goal to learn something new everyday.. thats how i measuring quality of the day.. zero learning = bad day 3. From time to time short term works to earn some money. Usually companies very surprised then i tell them that i prefer short term projects. Shorter = better
So far so good ;) (approx 10 years)
Good luck
