ideas

I wrote some notes about this of what I want in my "life engine": https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#5-life-engine I never got into the quantified self but I did want a portal (such as similar to the Yahoo! and Excite.com days) in the early 2000s. of personal facts that I can take actions on. Then a few years later I wrote about "life situational awareness apps" I want my phone and desktop computer system tray to have widgets for "accommodation", "travel", "food". I didn't want to have to open a website or app to order food, stay in a hotel or travel, just select what I'm eating/sleeping/travelling from a slideout menu and all the details are worked out by the computer. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3#59-life-indicators---sit... (It was related to my lifestyle subscriptions idea that you can pay for a week or month of travel, acommoda

My blogging/journalling setup is simple. I've been doing it for 10 years and it really encourages me to write. It's also all in the open and public. I just use GitHub. I just rely on the default repository view on GitHub.com. I edit in Typora on Windows or on the web interface on GitHub website. I create a README.md and add markdown headings to the bottom or to the top (bottom if its a journal, top if it's a blog) and then when I get to 100-800 I create a new repository and repeat. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas (2013) https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas5 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2

Thanks for posting this Ask HN question. I journal ideas and thoughts about computers and software. I am interested in software architecture, parallelism, async, coroutines, database internals, programming language implementation, software design and the web. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas (2013) https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 <-- this is recent but needs editing https://github.com/samsquire/ideas5 <-- this is what I'm working on now https://github.com/samsquire/startups https://github.com/samsquire/blog <-- thoughts I want to write about, but incomplete I use README.md on GitHub and create a heading at the bottom for each entry. I use Typora on Windows or the GitHub web interface to edit.

In 2013 I wrote about "game interfaces for work" where work interfaces should act like games. Real time strategy games make you feel empowered, if you could queue up real work in a units runqueue. Of course you'll have actions besides "build" and "attack" to map to the richness of the world. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#71-gaming-interfaces-for-... Even the mouse is a database https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2169076 I want a graphical representation of the spatial properties in a database

Whoa, I didn't know which list you were talking about, but it looks like he has this description in his bio: > If you like my thoughts, check out my Github pages for ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 (incomplete) HTTPS://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups If you want to talk about ideas, send me a message.

I want a distributed computing pseudo content addressed speadsheet where each cell is a process, thread, function, server, program, user, avatar or API. I can type "=" for inserting a formula into a cell like Excel then type a repl.it template and bring up a server, or a template environment with everything preconfigured. I want to depend on other people's solutions to problems. We are all independently running agents. Perhaps it could be a chat room similar to a MUD where each person runs servers and runs programs that depend on eachother. A mesh of computation and storage. Perhaps there should be some central hub which tracks the state of different services and workflows, similar to Temporal.io. In 2013 I wrote this: https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#80-playhouse-repeatable-p... about what can now be described as similar to repl.it I a

This reminds me of my package manager package manager The idea you would chain together multiple package managers such as this: mpm install script/https://get.rvm.io \ rvm/1.9.3 \ script/git@github.com/rubygems/rubygems/setup.rb \ gem/rails \ apt/mysql-server \ apt/mysql-client \ bundle/http://typosphere.org/stable.tgz https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#12-the-package-manager-pa...

I journal my computer and startup ideas in the open since 2013. My first batch of ideas hit the front page on HN https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas Since then I wrote 3 more editions https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 These all flopped since I triggered the self promotion filter I had a try at thinking of business ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups Ideas4 is what I'm working on today. I enjoy ideas4 more than the first edition.

I call these branching libraries. Definition: Use one kind of thing as another kind of thing. Given X {scenario,state,message,event,format} do Y Generics gets us some of the way to what we want. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#48-branching-libraries Using a database as a spreadsheet or a spreadsheet as a database, using a spreadsheet as a functional programming language or bash pipeline editor with each cell being the output of that pipeline step. Or reactive programming with spreadsheets. I am trying to solve the expression problem. To introduce a new thing into an old thing you typically need to implement hundreds of functions on an interface. A nexus that composes is what the industry needs

I'm journalling computer and software ideas in the open and I have been journalling since 2013. I am up to 700 ideas and 25 startup ideas. Here are links to them https://github.com/samsquire/ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 (incomplete) https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups I am working on a multithreaded programming language interpreter and compiler. I am interested in parallelism, asynchrony and multithreading.

I began journalling ideas in a Windows WikidPad. Then I summarised some ideas in GitHub README.md articles. I wrote 700+ ideas since 2013 across 4 repositories. I write my ideas in markdown and publish and work on them in the open on GitHub. The more ideas you write down the more ideas you shall have. So keep writing them down! The important thing is getting them out so you know what to improve. Ideas aren't worthless. Mathematics, science all started as ideas. I work on them in the open in the hopes that we can introduce some of these ideas in the industry. I journal about futuristic software ideas and parallelism, algorithms, multithreading and database internals. I am looking for people to talk about inspiring ideas. And to share talking about ideas for programming projects. I am a member of eatonphil's Discord multiprocess community w

I prefer reading someone's writeup than the code to implement the software product. With the write-up I can learn how the software works. The code is too hard to read to fit together the puzzle. I read whitepapers to learn what others learned. I keep a list of whitepapers I am interested with on my GitHub profile. I want people to spend lots of time writing what you did on GitHub to explain why your project is useful and how to use it. Some GitHub README.md are really good and explain the software well. Some libraries place documentation in the README.md I journal computer software ideas and thoughts out in the open on GitHub. I am up to 700+ journal entries and they are in markdown and numbered paragraphs. My interests are parallel computing, database internals, distributed systems, multithreading and scalability and futuristic software.

Remember that all science, mathematics, education, theology comes from understanding an idea. So ideas are valuable to society. If you think they're worthless, then I don't want your ideas, I want people in academia and industry to have good ideas and push society forward. Science, mathematics, theories, research, theology all are built on the shoulders of giants, with ideas that provide foundations of truth, wisdom and understanding to push society forward. It's not always the person that has the ideas that puts the idea into execution. The more ideas you have and the more you work on them the more you grow as a person. I also work on building software to put my ideas to the test. I journal/blog all my computer and technology related ideas on GitHub out in the open. I have published 700+ ideas on GitHub. I create a repository called "ide

Creating notes can also be used as a journal. My process is to create a GitHub repository and README.md file and create a # markdown heading for each entry with a simple name for the thought or description of the idea. Then I write a few paragraphs to a few pages of ideas. I number the markdown headings. GitHub has a indescript table of contents button in the top left of the README.md When I get to 100-300 I create a new repository and repeat. My computer ideas journal is kind of a blog and I write it in the open on GitHub. Here are links to it. There's over 450+ journal entries of computer software ideas, community ideas, algorithm ideas and software design ideas. https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4

I journal computer and software ideas as markdown files out in the open on GitHub. When I get to 100-300 entries I move onto a new repository. https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://GitHub.com/samsquire/startups I create a new markdown heading for each entry and write. It's searchable and the data is easy to synchronize, backup and use and the solution shall last for multiple decades maybe even longer. It's also indexed by Google. I'm still tweaking my first journal that I created in 2013. At one point I tried to love Emacs and I am yet to use org mode. I actually use the GitHub interface mostly to update my journal. And before that vim and lately IntelliJ which includes preview features. I would recommend if you want to write n
