Could you elaborate a bit more on your note taking workflow? I have an ipad and a macbook but I haven't figured out the best way to use them together that doesn't involve connecting with a cable and manually dragging files around

Even if a passport was required, I think the same problems would appear. There are plenty of people with no interest in ever posting on Reddit. Some of them might be convinced to allow someone else to use a bot to post on their behalf if th

Any suggestions on a puzzle game like that? I recently finished Stephen's Sausage Roll (excellent game!) and I've been looking for something else that will let me feel clever.

Yeah I use swiftkey with the arrows and number row. Also I have it set up so the keyboard appears in the middle of the screen where my thumb can actually reach. I have no idea how anyone can use one of today’s giant phones one-handed with t

How do you take backups of your session? Is there a built in UI, or another add-on? I’m a heavy user of tree style tabs and would love to be able to “save” a window with 100 tabs in a complicated tree, close the window, and be confident I c

Thanks for your comment. It sounds like you have learned these lessons through a lot of experience - do you have any suggestions on a book to read to get the very basics of teaching? > When they train you to teach... I started a job as a

Cool idea! The Mac OS dashboard used to have a feature where you could save a cropped view of a web page as a widget, which would automatically refresh whenever the dashboard was opened. I used to use it to show a couple of weather radar an

I definitely recommend it! The tour I did went around the tidal basin and visited all the major monuments on the western half of the mall. I really enjoyed the stories and factoids from the tour guide—she pointed out a lot of stuff I had mi

Recent events reminded me of an old McSweeney’s piece [0] on the clever use of grammatical forms to remove any implication of agency or culpability from a description of past events. When I went to search for that, this new article popped u

Wow. That was beautiful. I just spent the last couple hours reading through it. Being stuck in my house looking at the world through a screen, I can empathize with that little trashcan hurtling through space. Thanks for sharing.

After reading your comment, I went through my most commonly used apps and found that they all have a hamburger button in the top left corner that brings up the same menu as a swipe from left gesture. Somehow I never noticed those buttons be
