I've just recently within the past couple of weeks started bullet journaling[0]. I have already noticed huge benefits in my productivity and organization. I was never that good of a note-taker so having this "method" to follow gave me the boost that I think I needed.

I've been doing it for close to a year. I basically just have a bunch of text files in a folder. A text file for each day I make an entry.

Usually when I think a thought of note, or I'm experiencing a particularly strong emotional response, or just general dilemma running through my mind I'll write down what it is I'm experiencing or thinking.

Some days are quite long with multiple entries, some times I go a few days without writing a thing. I've thought about littering my entries with "tags" for easier searching, but I haven't done it yet. I don't really review what I've written very often. Plus the entries don't take long to review whenever I'm in the mood.

I use it more as a therapeutic tool, a way to discuss my thoughts with myself.

As for an application, I use Writely pro. But any text editor for Android that can open/save text files to a folder will work for what I do. Plain text synchronized across all my devices is the main thing. Future proof, plus it's my data.

Because wrapped code is generally nonsensical.

Inconvenient is one thing, nonsensical is an other.

That's noted right after, in the parens: list items.

This is not correct wrapping for a list item:

If the display software does not do that (and I'm reasonably certain most would not) I'd much rather properly hard-wrap my text before committing it, that way I know that it will end up correctly wrapped and actually readable.

Sort of, I record a video every day, using an app I created (Leap Second)[1]. For the purpose of remembering it's very powerful since you get a sense of how you felt at that time in life.

I try to capture something every day that excites me, something that day that made me happy or was unusual. So it's more about getting into a habit of finding things that makes everyday special.

I've tried photos and text before but I never enjoyed looking through it after a year or two.

You're not wrong but there are some nuances. The original design for the shuttle was very different from what was ultimately built because when the Shuttle program funding was in jeopardy the Air Force was brought in and they forced the design to change to meet their needs. The shuttle got bigger and added the external fuel tank, almost entirely crippling the shuttle's reusability.

By far the most negative impact on the shuttle was the massive reduction in space flights from the he original proposal due to budget cuts and Congressional politicking. The average cost per flight was something on the order of $1.8 billion but most of that was fixed overhead and a lot of that overhead was the consequence of the Air Force redesign. If the shuttle were funded independently as originally planned, it would have cost a lot less to fly and with enough flights it would have been significantly more cost effective. Whether NASA could make it as cheap as rockets is unclear but it's not impossible that they could have brought it within a factor of two.

However, it's also unclear to me whether we could have pulled off something like the Hubble telescope repair with a rocket and pods.
I do not. I try to record photos of as much as I can instead so I can look back on my life. I do however dump my thoughts in to to notes all over the place (Apple Notes, iAWritter (icloud), Dropbox, Evernote, OrgMode).

I tried Day One, but I got mad that they switched away from dropbox. They honestly could have solved the problems, but I can't fault them entirely for taking the easier route here to make supporting it much easier.

I'm not sure what I would journal if I did keep one for real.
So the C version can use the OpenGL C API. Three.js is a big abstraction layer on top of WebGL, but it's certainly in the realm of possibilities. There are C abstraction layers as well.
I don't keep a personal journal but I take a lot of notes, mostly for "retrospective analysis, tracking my goals" and my ideas.

I use Evernote.
I agree that a worker can often reasonably evaluate their boss.

But unless you've been a director level person - with 'managers of people' working for you, it's easy to see how a 'well liked boss, who lets's their workers do their jobs' is often not the best manager.

Team staffers may think their job is to do ABC, but really it's XYZ. A dev may think it's his job to write 'quality software'. But the business objective may call for 'a quick iteration for demonstrative purposes'.

The staffer thinks he's 'doing his job', his boss lets him, but the business objectives are totally off.

Since I began my PhD I started writing a personal journal about my research.

I write down all things in my mind, things I tried out, things that did not work, etc. Every time I get new results or evaluate something, I also try to include a table or graph with intermediate results.

The journal helps me to see my progress over time. I can grep through it and see if I already tried something. I can go back and see how my results get better over time or whether I hit a dead end somewhere.

I also write a small summary directly after meetings and talks and note feedback from supervisors.

I use org-mode (emacs) for this and can recommend it. All my entries are sorted by year and week number, so I try to write a summary at least once a week. As I use Emacs for all my programming related tasks, the org-mode file is open all day anyhow, so I usually add things more often than that.
This looks like a lot of fun! Using a RaspPi is really attractive to me because you can make everything interoperate, and nothing depends on some company's servers.

I've done two Pi projects now that I keep meaning to blog about. One was a sprinkler control system. My old system was dying, and not very flexible, so I decided to run everything off a Pi. The tricky part was driving 13 sprinkler lines with 24V AC current. I bought a 16-relay board and eventually got it wired up. For someone with little electronics experience, there was a lot to learn. [1] is an attempt before I realized I had to use the relays. Eventually I got it working and used it all summer. With cron, I can schedule things however I want!

The second is a security camera for a vacation rental home, and is not quite done yet. The hardware side was not challenging at all, but I still need to work out how to copy the images up to S3 or a Linode. I'm using MotionEyeOS and it doesn't seem to know how to do that itself. One of the big reasons I went with a Pi is I didn't want to pay or rely on someone else's servers. Also I wanted to avoid the security problems that have been in the news lately. I don't want inbound traffic to my LAN; I'd rather push the video somewhere else.

It took me a long time to figure out worthwhile uses for a Pi. A friend of mine loves using these things for media servers and CI servers and whatnot, but to me it's only satisfying if it's something where you actually need the miniature scale. Also a Pi really hits the sweet spot for me in terms of hardware-vs-software. I'm sure I could have done the first project with an Arduino, but using ssh, cron, and python was really nice.

The general idea sounds good to me (just spend 60 seconds on it, and no more).

But I wouldn't use it on principle because a journal is private, and having it handled by a third-party doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Especially when you explicitly state that it is transcribed, archived, and searchable.

Regarding Hubble, the intelligence community knew of significant design flaws in Hubble based on their experience with similar hardware, and did not communicate the problems to the Hubble team, for security reasons. This was much more about solar array flex and the Southern Magnetic Anomaly (high radiation zone that is often transited by Hubble, and which tends to crash the processors running the scope); the mirror flaw wasn't known by the TLAs.

The book _The Hubble Wars_, which describes most of this, made me pretty angry that an important scientific instrument was nearly crippled by the "national security" mindset.

Don't worry, Australia, Germany and France would love to help you out (and Canada as mentioned). My mother was admitted to a US university in the 1950s but decided to go to Australia instead. (Good for me since I was born!)

Also even if you got here, depending on where that uni is located, your problems would either be over or just getting worse. E.g. there are periodic waves of violence against foreign students (Japanese in the 80s/90s; Middle East and Sikhs (??) in 00s and 10s) in certain states.

Things do change. When we first came to the US we landed in D.C. and drove north to find a hotel. My parents would not have been allowed to stay in the same hotel in Virgina. But now I live in the States and don't worry about that. I worry about other things but do believe that things will change for the better. This reaction is the last gasp of the old people.
> Babbage considered using number systems other than decimal including binary as well as number bases 3, 4, 5, 12, 16 and 100. He settled for decimal out of engineering efficiency - to reduce the number of moving parts - as well as for their everyday familiarity.

Wasn't Obama basically a continuation of Bush as far as State Department policy? If Trump wants to actually change things when it comes to foreign policy, the "institutional memory" of these guys could be a significant hindrance to doing so.

If my network knows that I use PGP to login, they may well accept an (illegitimate) announcement that I'm changing my keys to {attacker-generated.asc}.

Of course, really such a login key should only be able to authenticate, and my network should only accept a proper revocation certificate that would need to have been generated by a different key with the 'Certify' action enabled.

How likely or damaging that is obviously depends a lot on who you are, and probably wouldn't be for many people at all. But I assume that's the sort of thing your parent commenter is alluding to.

It's disturbing to see our id reflected back at us in the behavior of our children, but I remember playing with action figures. There was the run of the mill blood, guts and violence, but when the girls toys came out all kinds of freaky stuff went down.

>Because wrapped code is generally nonsensical.

Not really? It's probably slightly more awkward to read than scrolling, but then, the solution is to read code on an appropriately sized screen in the first place.

And incidentally, truncated code definitely is nonsensical.

>List items.

They can be handled as you mention, but it's hardly the worst thing in the world if they're not.

And if you really care about formatting this much, you should use a format that encodes it properly (e.g. Markdown) instead of producing the text equivalent of a PDF.
Maybe they should setup an overage amount - e.g. 1 hour / month that you're allowed to park for free. After that every hour that you charge results in warning letters etc. eventually you aren't allowed to charge at any of the stations. Probably a little extreme but might work.

Similar to what the author has done, I wrote an open-source PHP application to manage "memes" I use in my writing. It's basically a bucket of ideas I've clipped from books, websites, etc (over 4,000 in the database now). I link the memes to their references, triple them into one-to-one relationships, and have "schemas" which are buckets of ideas I might use in articles and books I'm writing one day. I find it incredibly helpful in my personal use, but many people (understandably) find the interface a bit convoluted:

I use notational velocity for logging. Every day I create an entry with today's date. For example, today I am writing on "20170126".

I use it primarily as a todo-list.

Each morning I write down what I plan to do today.

I also try to plan each task in terms of time, so for example:

---

9am - 10am: work on task A

10am - 11am: look into task B

...

---

Then as the day progresses I mark down things as [DONE] when I finish them.

No. Please don't. The book still gets updated regularly, so any copy that is not straight from the repository will get quickly out of date. (I first published this book 6 years ago. You can find pdf copies out on the intertubes that are 200 pages shorter than the most recent version.)
