Apple lets you export Apple Health data — but you get a huge (!) xml file with a wild schema 🫠
I put together a crude 🐍 python script that turns the .xml (1GB for 2.5M entries in my case) into a simple parquet file (35MB) w/ 5 columns:
- type
- value
- start
- end
- created

"nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come"
=> zeitgeist: decentralization
(identity, communication, social graph, distribution of and access to software, payments, banking, …)
I forgot to update my Apple Card autopay info and discovered this crazy fact: if you manage to miss an Apple Card payment, Apple will disable your Apple ID, iCloud, and App Store accounts as hostage.
Re-enabling them takes 3-5+ business days. I’m surprised this is legal.

something that allows me better to reflect the languages I‘m into (not necessarily the same that I use(d) in most repositories)
e.g. I might have a ton of stuff in ruby but actually enjoy Clojure more.

Many devs still discard llms as useless (for coding).
Why? They are using Github Copilot and get mediocre results. Copilot feels ~ gpt-3.5 ish. Not terrible but not great either without much experience.
That's a big mistake.

Your favorite TV Show ended years ago and was not renewed? :(
Wouldn't it be cool if we could get just one more episode?
That's why I built a website with screenplays of popular TV Shows that don't exist (written with help by GPT-4).
Can you hear the characters in your mind?

iirc the main kitchen nightmare recommendation was:
reduce scope
* reduced menu (be(come) good at something)
* clearer positioning (related to reduced menu)
* ingredients: fewer and more fundamental compared to off-the shelf (& prefer local: price & quality, more flexibility)
