I am not sure if this still works, but 2-3 years ago I listened to a kindle book that I bought through my Echo show device. It was pretty good. I listened to it while I was cooking. It even allowed you to carry on where you left off. But I did notice that a few pages were skipped as I had read the book before. I have since packed away my echo show so I can't verify if they have removed this feature or not.
I totally agree with you. I am constantly asked by my two boys (11, 14) for a smart phone. In our mind they don't need one at this age. The issue is that everyone seems to have one in the school. When I pick them up I see it for myself.
I don't understand why the school does not just ban them and discourage usage.
If we want to change the use of social media in teenagers and younger, we as parents have a responsibility to control access to these kind of sites and the internet in general.
The great thing about the app is that if your computer is idle for a while it stops the timer. That was the most annoying thing that used to happen to me. When I went to pick up the kids or something I would forget to stop the timer. But the app automatically stops the timer and asks you to confirm.
I still use harvest to bill my clients using the invoice feature. Their free plan is all I have ever needed.
I have to say I am really loving it so far. All based on Markdown or org mode format. I have a folder stored on OneDrive and it is synced across all my devices.
I developed a Hospital bed booking system previously, but it did not work as it was tied to a pc (this was before the tablet). So I would like to pursue this idea with this dev kit.
I remember using it for the first time in 2001 in a summer job I had while at uni. We were using it to develop a web site built with the open source version of ACS (from philip greenspun). As a small team we managed to deliver the entire site in 8 weeks. Goes to show how good the ACS framework was and how flexible and efficient Tcl is.
Also at the time AOLServer was amazingly fast. Shame development stopped on it.
ACS got bought by Red Hat later on, but it still lives on as openACS http://openacs.org
They're totally interchangeable so there's no reason you couldn't, maybe with no modifications. It's not uncommon to see a mix of Erlang and LFE (lisp flavored Erlang) or elixir when they're well suited (usually for meta programming features to eliminate repetitive Erlang.
