Syncthing to sync the grocery list to your phone whenever it is on the home WiFi. Any changes will be updated when you next get back home.

I use this with obsidian and it's a game changer, removing need for the cloud

> Any changes will be updated when you next get back home [...] removing need for the cloud

More than one person can be in the grocery store. Syncing a file does not work because you overwrite each other's changes; this is what we started with but this is why I made (what I call) multiplayer groceries in the first place

And note that I also don't need a "cloud"; it's hosted on my own system rather than someone else's

Even Home Assistant have a shopping list built in by now.

If you're interested in chatting about this sort of stuff, let me know.

I'm a UK doctor working in the field, always looking to optimise processes while keeping quality.

Email is in my profile.

Interesting... Do you have a source copy for this? I'm always interested to play music as the artist intended and Stevie Wonder is one of my favourites :)

If you are interested in Superstition, see my answer to jeffwass for a potentially useful link.

I'd be interested in that as well.

A solution to this is having user-chosen programmes with an allotted study budget. This is the model in UK post-grad medical education.

I know around London there are a couple of schemes running that teach practical skills using outdated non-sexy software that nevertheless works because of its strong educational underpinnings and excellent practical execution.

Agreed. You're putting an overworked, underpaid public servant in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. They complied with a far reaching request and got told their response was too far reaching? I'd quit my job if faced with a legal minefield like that, especially one not actually related to the job itself

Why do you think complying with these requests is not part of the job for Seattle IT?

I would think it’s pretty cool to retrieve this massive amount of data that I wouldn’t otherwise get to play with.

Presumably this should be considered overreaching should be considered an important though: if there’s an authorization process in play, then more information has been given out than the public servant was actually authorized to hand out. If me as a citizen starts receiving sensitive information despite only being authorized to receive insensitive info, that could easily become a significant security breach.

In fact, a known security check was actually bypassed in this case: the email review, reserved for the content of the email, causing the whole problem in the first place.

It seems to me imperative that they actually deliver up to the amount authorized. Ideally exactly the amount, but never more.

>They complied with a far reaching request and got told their response was too far reaching?

He requested metadata and they sent actual email content, kind of a big difference there.

I'm a doctor of four years now and I completely empathise with you. The one thing I have learnt doing the job is not to fully trust anything but to check it yourself. That's how you get outstanding results.

It's unfortunate that it seems to take a toll on your private life. This past year I have developed a habit of double checking the front door even though I remember bolting it.

It's an interesting thing to ponder whether some mental disorders are extreme versions of adaptive behaviours that we all do from time to time.

Out of interest, what was your parenting style like? Was it just a matter of clear expectations and consistent rewards and punishments?

Did you have a source for all this or did you work it out by yourself?

Yes, through the "Import" feature. Excel will in that case allow you to choose what "type" each column in the CSV has (and will not parse text if given the "text" type). The problem is that a lot of users (myself included) will use muscle memory and double-click a CSV file in windows explorer rather than opening up Excel and initiating an import.

So why does it not import when opening files?

Because you can create documents with formulas, save them as CSV and open them again. If it did an import when opening, the operation save A -> load A would result in a different result than the file you had when you clicked saved.

or at least this the most logical explanation I could find.

So a safe-import could import all columns as text (without interpretation) and offer to parse columns with a predictive input type suggestion.

We don't adhere to the EWTD.

I think a UK doctor's hours are probably easier than a US doctor's but we all break the EWTD (except for some specialties like psychiatry). For example I am rostered to work an average 48 hours a week, although there are some weeks I work more, and I will often stay behind to get things done. My total hours per week is probably around 50 - and I'm in a job that isn't considered busy!

To answer your question about the difference between "clinical grade" and "consumer grade" hardware, consider [1] - where FitBit-measured heartrates differed from actual heartrates by about 30bpm. As a doctor I looked into getting a fitbit but realised they could not live up to the ideal of heartrate tracking that I wanted.

To be fair this is a hard problem. Even the pulse oximeters we use in our hospitals have a hard time picking up certain heart rhythms. The only way to be sure is to get an ECG done!

While not clinically certified, reports were that the Apple Watch was very close to accurate most of the time, just a few BPM off at most.
