The service seems designed to bypass anti-scraping measures. If site owners don't want their content scraped by AI this is subverting their will.
It also obfuscates responsibility between the AI vendor and the scraping service. One can imagine unethical AI providers using a series of ephemeral "gateways" to access content while avoiding any legal or reputational harm.
I need an integrated app, not a website, not a standalone app. It must seemlessly integrate into Android. A webinterace is okay for maintaining purposes. But the app itself must be an integral part of my smartphone. Visible in my taskbar and stuff like need. Without any detours.
Something that integrates with Outlook/Gmail. Why? That helps to keep information synchronized. I need synchronized information, not the 12th app that offers me to help my organizing my day, while infact it's adding up another item to my mind-pile.
Of course it must be simple. Not a fancy interface. Not too much UI elements. No bling-bling.
And one feature I like specifically: A reminder, that tells me how many days/hours/weeks/months I am overdue for recurring tasks. Like a dynamic todo list where I can uncheck items. Let's say the task is "Watering Plants", every 2 days. I must uncheck this item, otherwise it would increase the amount of days its overdue.
With one exception, as I don't know what you mean by "Visible in my taskbar and stuff like need". I don't have a taskbar on my phone, but if you mean on a desktop, then I solve that using sync. I access synced tasks with desktop apps, which this is not. I also share one synced task list with my spouse. Other phone integration I use is having multiple task widgets on my home screens.
All of my personal reminders and tasks are tracked in this app. I use a lot of recurring tasks. While it doesn't explicitly count days overdue, it does show and can sort by due date, and can (re-)trigger notifications X days past due.
Chances are your plants don't need watered every 2 days. If you're actually married to the exact implementation you described, carry on and good luck! Otherwise, having learned from my share of drowned plants and as I read those requirements, they'd be met by a task recurring for a due date 4-10 days after completion and a start date 1-3 days before due, so you'd not see it again until a few days after it was last completed and have some days in which to complete it, where this repeats as desired regardless of when it actually gets done. This is a common pattern for me, such as my "check tire pressure" task recurring X weeks after completion. The start date controls how many days before that next due date that it starts being shown again, I do not worry about it going negative, and, after the start date, I get a location-based notification when at the location where I normally complete the task.
On Android, when you pull down from the top, you have like songs currently played and/or other currently active programs. So, it's the one area of the screen that is available from every other screen.
>> If you're actually married to the exact implementation you described
Not really, it was just the kind of solution that came into my mind when thinking about this kind of problems. I am very bad in keeping track of tasks. From the outside it looks like lazyness, from the inside it's a mixture of "forgetting" and "priorities". Having a feature that lists long overdue tasks at the top, could ease that. You haven't watered your plants for two days? Ok, they can handle that. But what about tire pressure overdue for 12 days - its about time!
Anyways, will try it. Or, which is on my plate for a while now, will build my own app. That's what I do for a living, except: I couldn't find the time to do it because of the other thousand things to do before.
People keep saying in this thread, there are better alternatives but i do not see any listed. i know of
- Statamic (php, Laravel)- https://statamic.com/
- Strapi (js) - https://strapi.io/
and then a bunch of SaaS platforms. what are the market leading open source CMS's?
at the agency i work at we have been using https://lando.dev for some time with a lot of success. It is an abstraction over docker which isn't ideal but it allows us to quickly get going with projects and switch with no down time.
+1 for Lando. We used to rely on a bunch of shell scripts based on Docker4Drupal but it was such a PITA to maintain. Lando provides essentially the same customizability with a fraction of the hassle of our previous solution.
Would you be able to elaborate on why they dropped out? did they hit a point where cheating wasn't possible? or maybe realized it was pointless and unhelpful once they need to do a job?
In my experience it's always the former. Back in university the surest sign of a good class was that you were allowed to "cheat". The professor encouraged using any and all outside materials for your assignments. You were allowed to work with other students on projects. Exams were all open book. You could use open source code. Such classes always led to the best outcomes for students who were truly interested and engaged, and those who weren't had no way of faking it. On the other hand classes where professors spent more effort on detecting cheating than teaching the material were always duds.
Huge +1 to this. I had one lecturer who would essentially rant at us about security vulnerabilities every week for a semester, and then write a paper based on his rants.
Some students ignored his rants because they didn't find the subject interesting, did the past papers, and then got to the exam and did terribly, then complained about the fact that "it's all based on his rants".
Others found the ranting engaging because it was deep dives on obscure bits of computer security history. My year he spent ~4 weeks going on about Stuxnet, including deep dives into the wider political context. When I got to the paper, one of the few questions we could choose, for 50% of the paper, was just "What was Stuxnet". I wrote pages and pages. Figured out from marking that I got full marks on that one. I always did great in that lecturer's modules despite never taking notes and rarely doing any targeted reading.
To show the level of engagement, I once turned up to one of these lectures 10 mins late, with most of the class already there, and the lecturer said "oh I wondered where you guys were, I guess I'll start again". He knew we were the only ones who cared about the class.
Even better was the second year of the class (this lecturer lead the security side of the CS degrees). I took it in autumn 2013, just after the summer of Snowden. The class was just week after week of "I TOLD YOU SO! Look at these leaks! Look at these NSA details! Look at what we happens if we take this bit and stick it into LinkedIn and Google Street View and see where the developer of XKeyscore lives! Look at where this undersea cable goes, isn't that a bit close to Diego Garcia?! Look at this submarine and the bit carved out for an undersea cable splicing facility! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ALL FOR YEARS!"
As much as it sounded like the rantings of a tin-foil hat wearing madman, he was in fact quite accurate through a combination of having worked in government in computer security at a fairly high level for a while, and having deep technical knowledge about what was possible.
I miss his lectures, they were excellent, but I hear he's still going strong scaring freshers and running the on-campus teaching union, which is nice to hear.
I love playing BoE (back of envelope) Gedanken Experiments. Splicing a undersea cable or recording and analyzing all the SMS traffic in the world seems a little more tractable after you do the math.
What I noticed was the lack of motivation to study, and constant difficulty, eventually sapped the motivation to continue slogging through a degree and subsequent career just for the money. "I want to work in this field and make lots of money, but I hate it, and can't get through the coursework" is actually a pretty rare combination of talents.
The path of being interested enough in a field that the easy work is easy, and the hard work is at least interesting, actually turns out to be the path of least resistance.
If there is not a mapping to some sort of immutable handle, i imagine some sort of announcement in the timeline(example.com has changed their handle to example.xyz) and a history in their profile (handle = example.com 2017 to 2020-01-01. example.xyz 2020-01-01 to now) would cover it
