Bulk mail is often produced using a letterpress-style machine. Personalized mail, on the other hand, is usually "handwritten" using a pen plotter (e.g., AxiDraw). https://axidraw.com/

Before we jump to conclusions... Undergraduates were forced off campus a few weeks ago. Imagine yourself in the shoes of an international student who left New Haven in a hurry. You're now required to attend online lectures at 3:00AM lo

The author shares my frustrations with Apple's scroll bar gimmicks. Honestly, I'm surprised that Sublime-style minimaps haven't been adopted by web browsers, word processors, and other mainstream software. For example, the li

I would approach this as an inventory management problem (for which there are plenty of FOSS solutions). I'm not sure you require specialized software built for book/magazine collections. Conceptually, you have a warehouse where a

I was an undergraduate at Yale in 2015, and I agree with @krastanov's claim that the Christakis incident was a tipping point in a much larger struggle between students and administrators. [1] Also, I lived in Silliman College and would
