Professional writer who uses different writing apps for different occasions is me exactly. I’m also the (or at least a) guy who messaged you about inline comments. As soon as all the details of that feature are implemented, I’m buying it.

This is fascinating and harrowing, but I wish it contained more detail on why the devices were removed, particularly in Rita Leggett's case. The company that made her still-functioning device no longer existed, and trial participants w

Agreed. I spent a long time on 4, and then solved 5 with a single word.

Turing Complete is a fabulous game. I'd never done any processor design in school, and Turing Complete had me obsessed with it for a couple of weeks.

This is a fun example of how much difference a comma can make. "How ChatGPT was built, from the people who made it" is what this article should have been titled. "How ChatGPT was built from the people who made it" means

>Of course I wasn't the first to think of it but that didn't matter, the joy is the same. Exactly right. When I was in undergrad physics, I signed up for the intro comp-sci course (which is recommended back then but not yet req

Maybe try it with an app on the phone instead? I've been using Synology's photos app to automatically upload everything in my photos library to my NAS for a couple of months now, and it's been seamless. Other apps, like Photo

Sometimes games don't do this due to genre conventions/player expectation. In 2006 Square-Enix shipped a simple programmable system for gameplay automation with the gambit system in Final Fantasy XII. It let you put together a hie

I remember reading this when it was published, as I was living in a college dorm at the time and strongly considered using this method to produce a master key. I didn't, because I couldn't think of anything I'd want to do wit

Professional author here. Personally, this wouldn't be for me, at least not right now. But it may be for others, and it's neat that you built it! Why it's not for me: These days, the choice between self publishing and traditi

Both parts of this are false. I already replied to the parent question explaining how authors of short fiction do, in fact, make money when their work is adapted. The WGA is a union whose members pay dues based on their writing income. The

It can vary a lot. If a short story is made into a movie, the first step is for the production company to secure the rights to the IP. This is usually done through an options contract, wherein the writer sells the production company the exc

I've been quite happy with MXroute. I've only once had an IP blocking problem with them, with a friend who hosts using Migadu. It was cleared up in under a day. "Opinionated" is a very good word for them, though. I think

He comes off as fully professional and measured in that link. Describing that as character assassination makes you seem like someone nursing a grudge, not someone with a legitimate grievance. And at least he’s left his response up for peopl
