Fair enough.

The real test of a programming language is its readabilty.

I looked at lisp many times and it just doesn't do it for me.

Could this apply to workers that ingest email?

What open models are "recommended"?

I like the Linux analogy, I struggled with Linux way back.

I have 3 new projects atm

1) Local hosted https://app.localmail.uk/ 2) Security guard android app 3) Fall detector android app

https://site.localmail.uk/

The sites are AI generated and are a bit OTT and slightly inaccurate, but think of it like reading a comic...

I created three throwaway android apps in an afternoon to test my code. (All fairly well written)

In software it is now possible to test ideas instantly, this is great for people like me that have so many ideas.

It has been running for about 20 days, have a small companies email and web site running locally.

Would like to publish the setup so others can try it out as well.

A fun thing was to route local domain emails locally so they never have to leave the server.

Very little maintenance so far, mustn't speak to soon though.

I am running a local mail server using cloudflared tunnels and brevo for sending

postfix/sendmail/dovecot/ingress setup

I am really happy with the setup. (So far)

I saw this and decided it would be great for tracking my vegetable patch,

when i planted seeds,

when are they expected to germinate

when do i need to water

when will I get to harvest

Watering would be based on weather conditions

Did i misunderstand the concept?

I am surprised that not more people talk about this, I once had an ssh key deleted, so unexpected it took me a while to debug.

We live and learn.

Still a huge fan though.

It has become too many things but it still works. Have a look at LaTeX

I would be very interested for as many people as possible to test this and give feedback. Particularly testing with different postures, hands, walking, different sensors etc. Very simple to setup and does not require expensive hardware.

I have always wanted to buy my food directly from farms but the logistics is daunting.

So I am creating an ambitious app that uses agents

Admin: -> handles all financial transactions and manages the app

Subscriber:-> entity who orders/shops

Market: -> the agents that work with the farmers or markets

Catering: -> for any processing or recipes

Delivery: -> handles cold chain, delivery, storage

Initially I will do everything but the idea is to delegate the agents

The basic structure is in place

AWS is not value for money, I do have a DO account that is great but my development is mostly hosted locally with tunnels from cloudflare, it is remarkable how far you (I) can get with that setup.

Thanks! I do share screenshots and paste them manually for front end stuff, nice idea though.

I suspect that you used highly optimized algorithms written for python, like the vector algorithms in numpy? You will struggle to write better code, at least I would.

I have been waiting for someone to open source lotus notes, sadly the time is probably past.

I have certification in Lotus Notes, I quite liked it. Fairly simple to create an application but not being open source was a problem.
