I've been working on a similar concept (aggregate health data from multiple sources) but on a wider scale: 1) annual bloodwork as part of my annual preventive care; 2) InBody measurements, including grip strength; 3) quality of air in my region; 4) Apple Watch but mainly for steps, sleep data and resting heart rate; 5) allergy panel or minerals/vitamins screen plus something nutrition-related along those lines (TBD).

The idea is to see trends and try to apply AI for correlating, at the first glance, completely unrelated data layers. Example how I'm thinking about this one: there's somewhat clear correlation that I sleep better when I do above average steps per day. How is my sleep quality affected if, let's say, I did above avg steps with a bad air quality at that time? (i.e. wild fires / pollen season / etc.)

I've built a Go application to ingest those data sources and currently finishing my first import use case - Apple Watch data.

Would be happy to connect and chat about this.

botulidze — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 14:10:51 +0000

I recently helped my friend (3rd country national) to open a new business in Czech Republic.

It took 3 months from registration to sending her first invoice. The longest wait was on the bank account: a very few places are willing to open company account if you don't have an EU residency. Without the bank account, she couldn't deposit founding capital (základní kapitál) which is required to complete the registration. It's even funnier cause the minimum amount to deposit is 1 CZK (5 cents).

Total cost to start business was under $8,000. The most expensive were legal services: writing down all contracts and customer agreements was around ~$5,000.

I feel like this is such an untapped market for getting digitilized. I was thinking to actually sit and vibe code it at some point but can't imagine doing this alone.

So GitHub migrating entirely to Azure is going to reduce the number of outages they are experiencing, right? Right??

When it comes to GUI, I can click faster than I talk. Sometimes typing would be a bit faster as well, in case you need to correct an error. Also, imagine a bunch of people talking all day long in an open space instead of mouse clicking/typing.

Brain to machine signaling interface is the logical step forward if we really want to be faster at input.

Thanks, haven't checked those two.

> I'm surprised ServiceNow isn't trying to break into this space.

Last time I ran SNOW a few years ago, it was slowly but steadily heading into the SAP trajectory - highly-customazible per customer needs, expensive to pay and even more expensive to migrate onto. And it doesn't seem to prioritize any developer-oriented features to appeal to that crowd.

I.e., they have GitHub integration but it's not something I could convince a developer to use on a daily basis unlike Jira's one: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-it-asset-manage...

The problem with Jira is that we don't have many alternatives at enterprise level. Maybe for smaller teams (<1000 engineers) something else is at table. It's also interesting neither of FAANG - except for Netflix - are using Jira, they are all on something home-grown AFAIK.

I had a lot of hopes for Github Issues [0] but since they announced the product on last year's Universe event, there were not many news. Maybe this November they will come back with an update.

At this point, I feel Jira is like WordPress. It maybe slow and overbloated, but you can have absolutely any plugin and/or integration you can think of.

Spotify Duo. Works across all the variety of devices we have, jam group sessions are fantastic feature when riding the car together and their weekly discovery consistently brings in a lot of new music.

New comment by botulidze in "Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas"

botulidze — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 22:31:01 +0000

I live in Europe, it's approx. $0.41 per kWh and diesel fuel is $1.60/liter or approx $6,4/gallon.

If I use your example,

- 75 kw battery to full is $30.75 and it's $10.25 per 100 miles;

- 2 gallons for ICE to travel 100 miles, it would be $12.8 per 100 miles.

So electric car would be a clear winner. If I factor in charging at 80% efficiency, it's $12.3 - only a $0.5 difference.

And the country I live in has the 4th highest energy price in the entire block.

Two points I would also consider

1- the service cost of an ICE car would be higher in a long run compared to the electric one due to higher complexity and more moving parts.

2- electric's car battery will wear down overtime and it will probably run less during winter.

I don't have much data though to elaborate on those points.

Spent the past few months on:

Observability platforms - Elastic / DataDog / Splunk / new era platforms

Incident management and alerting - PagerDuty / OpsGenie / FireHydrant

Status Pages - Atlassian / PagerDuty / new era platforms

Would be really keen to read someone's experience on Jira on-prem / Cloud / alternatives considered.
