    Seems like official export [0] has tags and annotations along with timestamps. However in case you'd like more structured full data from the API (instead of a mess with csv + json?…

    datetime handling can absolutely be a hot spot, especially if you're parsing or formatting them. Even for relatively simple things like "parse a huge csv file with dates into datac…

    I was annoyed by cron/fcron limitations and figured systemd is the way go because of its flexibility and power, but also was annoyed about manually managing tons of unit files. So …

    Another thing I noticed is that homebrew python was noticeably slower on M2 comparing to the pyenv one. I imagine homebrew compiles it with too generic flags to support wide range …

    It sparks a discussion around knowledge management, that's kinda nice :)

    FWIW, never happened to me with Synching, but either way it's best to separate sync software and backup software. Sync might work flawlessly, but the user might make a mistake whic…

    I sync about two hundred thousands of files without any problems, especially if your aren't changing them all the time. The only issue I can imagine is initial sync with so many fi…

    not sure what happens if you commit on two devices before syncing, but the "worst" that happened to me is I get an index conflict, in which case it's easily fixed by 'git reset'

    I'm rooting to get access to my own data (typically in sqlite databases in protected /data/data partition). Then I feed it into HPI (Human Programming Interface) [1], and from that…

    First, big respect for working on software for so many years! My question is what data format is it using? I found some examples here [1], but looks like it's a custom binary forma…

    Hey, it's a bit dated, I've been meaning to update the post for a while, but haven't had time. I actually bought a remarkable 2 since, but I didn't really end up using it much. IIR…

    Comment #33913871

    Some time ago I wanted the best bits from both worlds: - from cron: specifying all jobs in one file instead of scattering it across dosens of unit files. In 90% of cases I just wan…

    yep, can confirm, it basically filters out any notebook output from version control (while keeping it intact in the notebook file itself). This works seamlessly with diffing, commi…

    I stopped worrying and in most cases just write configs for my tools in python. Then you can just import/exec it and you're done. I can use all the operations/primitives I already …
