In the earlier parts of this series I have discussed the possible modern applications of ancient memory techniques. I mentioned that not everyone was convinced of the merits of some of the key tenants of the proposed system, chiefly its reliance on adding imagined images to what needs to be

There are many ways to stand up a REST API. Nearly every programming language provides a way for us to develop a simple web server, such as Express.js, Go Gin or Python Flask. However, with the advent of serverless computing, we need to rethink some of the fundamentals of

I've already written about what I understand to be the benefits of having a better memory in the modern world. These were namely to aid us in our thinking and to help put things into a shape and form that makes it easy for others to remember. Now,

In the first and second parts of this series I have discussed the advantages of a memory system as well as proposed a simple technique for organising thinking. A particular focus of the presented technique was to provide a very lightweight way to order thoughts, with minimal requirements to adorn

I have outlined in part 1 of this series possible applications for an improved memory. The two applications I suggested were: (1) to be able to aid our imagination and creativity and (2) create more memorable stories. I think the second application is really only relevant for those who want

I've written a couple of posts about how to set up JavaScript and TypeScript Monorepos over the past three years (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7), and I kind of thought I had it all figured out - but I didn't. It turned out that

I've recently been thinking about how to become better at dictation or to use speech to compose text. One important area of study that I came across in relation to this is rhetoric. Improving memory in turn is an important part of the discipline of rhetoric. In this

I've long been on a quest to increase my typing speed; figuring that typing is one of the things that I do for most of the day, and getting faster at it would be of significant advantages for me (see my notes on trying to form habits). However,

As I've written in an earlier post, TypeScript project references and Yarn Workspaces are powerful tools for managing complex TypeScript projects. Yarn Workspaces manages dependencies between multiple JavaScript packages within one project, and contains tools that let us easily deduce which packages depend on which other packages in

I must admit that I'm a little bit behind the curve when it comes to playing many popular video games. GTA V is a game that by now came out almost 10 years ago, but I only recently got to play it. I got GTA V for free

I have been doing some research on how to do speech to text conversion. Initially, I thought there may be a good iOS app that I could simply use on my iPhone. But while there were a number of apps available to support dictation most of these seem to be
