Found Deals and Discounts / Mind Collected on BDJ 2018-07-13

Mind Collected on BDJ today 2018-07-13

http://www.bitsdujou...tware/mind-collected

Some people just work more efficiently when they operate on a visual basis. But databases just don’t seem to want to cater to the visually-minded – until now! Today’s discount software promotion is a powerful way to organize ideas and things visually, and it’s called Mind Collected.

Mind Collected lets you visually catalog ideas and things using photos, names, tags, notes, and interconnectivity. With Mind Collected, you’ll be able to automatically search and fetch images from the Internet that match what’s in your database, or use your own custom photos. Just input the things and concepts you want to catalog, make the connections to other things, and let your brain take over the rest!

The secret is this – by visually cataloging these things, you make them psychoactive, making your brain think about them more often without any additional effort. The result is a massive improvement in behavior that causes you to react more accordingly – recalling things better, making better food choices, the list is endless!

Has anyone used this?  It looks like an interesting concept.  Normally $49.99 - $19.98 today.

General Software Discussion / Re: How can I find approximate matches of numbers?

« Last post by wraith808 on July 12, 2018, 11:34 PM »

Well, he wants to throw in a %match, so that wouldn't do it. 

There's also the matter of what kinds of numbers are in the lists.  And whether he wants individual matches, i.e. if you have 95 in one list and 100 and 105 in the other, would it be able to be 2 pairs?  Or only match the first one?  And if one is matches in the second list, is it gone for matches?

The spec for this is pretty non-specific.

I already got entrenched, so strangely enough, I don't see any ads 

O365 was a better option than the other syncing options out there.  1TB per account and O365 to boot.

What a VPN can do for digital privacy: One of the best tools that users can deploy to improve their privacy online is arguably by using a VPN. The post provides a good overview of what a VPN is, its benefits and how it can be used in conjunction with the GDPR legislation to protect your privacy. There are recommendations for the "best" VPNs for GDPR.

-IainB (July 08, 2018, 02:02 AM)

Always remember, a VPN is only as good as your VPN provider.  If they roll over and play dead, or are a "false flag" provider, you might as well not be using VPN at all.

DC Gamer Club / Re: Denuvo 4.9 cracked... and with a startling realization of how bloated it is.

« Last post by wraith808 on July 08, 2018, 09:29 AM »

That does remind me of the reason that companies still use this flawed technology.  The number of days to crack gives a number of days where people have to buy it in order to play.  This has been shown to raise the number of sales.  I need to find that study, because I could see the parameters being altered in order to make it look like this is the case (see how to lie with statistics).

DC Gamer Club / Denuvo 4.9 cracked... and with a startling realization of how bloated it is.

“So I downloaded Puyo Puyo Tetris. I thought ‘it’s small game, it’d be easier to analyze’, but oh no no,” he said.

“The game executable is 128MB big, of which just 5-6MB is the real game code. The rest of it is Denuvo. It’s the most bloated Denuvo I’ve ever seen.”

Why don't they just stop?  That's insane!

General Software Discussion / Re: How secure is a private WordPress post from public view?

« Last post by wraith808 on July 07, 2018, 09:34 AM »

If you're very concerned about security, I wouldn't trust WordPress, private or not.  Not that it's not capable, it's just that WordPress is a big target.  Keeping things that you'd rather not have anyone see but it's not disastrous if someone does?  It's probably fine for that.  But really secure things?  I'd suggest somewhere else, IMO.

The link he provided leads to a post, which has some download links on it.  Do those links not work for you?  I see them as live, even though the forum munges the links.

quoting here (and altering the text so it doesn't show the munged URLs and it becomes a bit more obvious):

Unified win32 and x64 setup betas:

• Unified Setup

Or if you prefer portable version:

• x64 version: 64-bit portable
• and win32 version: 32-bit portable

« Last post by wraith808 on June 29, 2018, 09:57 AM »

Harlan Ellison was one of the most influential writers of short fiction and nonfiction of the 20th century, writing in every genre he could and protesting any attempt to pigeonhole his work.

RIP.

Living Room / Re: What books are you reading?

« Last post by wraith808 on June 26, 2018, 06:09 PM »

Two more down in my book challenge for 2018.




Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

I'd heard good things about the series, but the beginning made me think that they were wrong. She uses a lot of glue words, and they slow down reading. The dialog of the Beast is quite gimmicky. But as I read, and was caught up in the backgrounds and mystery, my reservations faded. It became enjoyable instead of a chore, and the story was quite good. I'm not sure if I will continue the series, but it was an enjoyable read, and I am considering more of the Jane Yellowrock books- more for the characterizations and background than anything else.

Skyborn by David Dalglish

It started out slowly, though it rapidly picked up the pace, and enthralled me with the story of flying islands far in the sky and their winged protectors. I'd thought it predictable, but it took an unexpected but welcomed turn into other territories. I'm looking forward to the next book to continue the story!
