What were your issues with the standard Anki app? It might not be the prettiest app, but it is effective.

Sadly, I think the assumption people are having families might be where the mark is missed - look at the global fertility rates.

And ask them to review your own projects? That seems a little odd doesn't it? I am wanting feedback specifically for my own work.

Sadly with the limited context sizes on LLMs, you can't ingest a large project at all once to ask for feedback on the more abstract requirements of "good" software practices/design…

Are there any good platforms out there that people would recommend where you can have your code reviewed? Either paid for or for free. As this article points out, feedback is an es…

20-40 books a year, keeping a page tally is important too if you really want to quantify your reading. This is all on about 30 minutes a night, with some longer spells on the weeke…

1) Unfortunately I am already squeezing as much as I can get out of the existing data. The public APIs (there's a different one for each city) don't cover all fields in the General…

I've been tracking public transport data in NZ for a couple of years now, and have now built a site for its display. Public transport is quite a contentious issue here; what's bett…

The candidate is certainly putting in more work than you are for that money, no? It feels like a kind thing to do when you’re being given money for little more than an email. It’s …

Yes, with the person you referred. Who else?

Would you ever split that referral bonus? Amongst my friend group it's pretty common to 50/50 it.

Honestly a heart attack is how I hope I go, over in minutes!

Alzheimer's is the least likely to kill you of "The Four Horsemen", however it seems to be the most elusive in terms of prevention and treatment. If deep sleep can contribute to pr…

I disagree with a lot of the sentiment in the comments on this post. The reason these things are pushed are often because they help people in some form. Of course things are taking…

If you're trying to trim down on phone time, but still want to be somewhat contactable? I guess this would require a phone with a WiFi hotspot when you're out and about, but if you…

Telling someone straight "not performing as well as your peers" is quite brutal and not necessarily conducive to your performance increasing over the future. If that is said in pub…

https://www.allistergrange.com/ No blog, it's purpose is to show off projects/my cv. I'm proud how it turned out, it's quite a unique design.
