I couldn't find anything other than their first responders page but IMO any robo taxi operating in a metropolitan area should be publishing their disaster response & recovery plans…

I've been using this app for years to export Apple Notes to markdown backups (no affiliation, just a user): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373

My friends and I had a Mad Scientists Club (inspired by the books) that we ran out of my basement and we cooked up many schemes there. Eventually we tried to get free gear from var…

Hard to tell if this is auto generated but I'd guess so. There's a somewhat egregious error. In the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect section the site states" "The illusion where increas…

It's undergone some minor changes since this post, but mostly like this: https://mastodon.social/@ethanschoonover/110085453365962807

I spoke to Cal for this article though I don't think he used much of our interview. I developed GTD software back in the first as Kinkless when became OmniFocus after I joined Omni…

This leak feels like a trial balloon (sanctioned or not). I suspect there is enough "hmm is this a good idea" and pushback within wotc that this is a way to gauge how terrible of a…

I didn't run Solarized through WCAG when designing it (I don't believe that was around when I was designing it, though I could be wrong) but I did design it to enable high contrast…

Two things I want to add (better as a comment than edit): 1) I don't use Solarized everywhere religiously. I use it a LOT, no surprise. Still my preferred color scheme in most edit…

Developer of Solarized here. Glad that it continues to be a popular design. I've let the github languish and regret that. Luckily since it's just a color scheme the website and inf…

For those interested in further reading on this and many, many other nuclear weapon safety incidents, I recommend the excellent book "Command and Control" (also a documentary but t…

As someone that helped create a relatively popular task management app, I've scaled things wayyyy back personally and now mostly use Apple Reminders and Streaks (Apple ecosystem on…

I ran Linux on a P50 for years and that unit, which is sitting in front of me right now, is the reason that I won't buy another ThinkPad, ever. It was the biggest lemon I've ever o…

I deployed Fleetsmith a couple years ago after evaluating the field. Fewer features than the competition but well designed and clearly improving over time. Zach Blum (CEO/co-founde…

I spent a WEEK out of my computational basics curriculum teaching middle school students just about paths. Just about FILES and paths. Did this with a VPS and chromebooks SSHd in. …

Readers of this thread may be interested in lower cost options. I built a middle school robotics curriculum around Dexter GoPiGo robots: https://www.dexterindustries.com/gopigo3/ W…

This past year I taught Python to 7th and 8th graders. But to 6th graders I taught CLI basics and Inform7 (all on the command line). It was one of the most successful "programming …

in so far as ssh is just one of dozens of commands that the girls learn on the command line, it's perhaps not. in so far as it makes them realize that computers are discrete entiti…

I should also mention that their "downtime" activity was CLI text adventures. I recommend using these to teach basic "verb object" CLI usage.

I work at a girls middle school and taught a class called "technology literacy" last year to 6th graders. I covered what I felt were basics: * Basic communications tools (email) * …

I had the identical experience when they first launched and started heavily promoting their fiber to the home in seattle a year or two back. Same terrible v6 site performance, same…

FWIW you can still work with Drive like this, though it's somewhat hidden functionality. "Shift+Z" after selecting an item will bring up the otherwise hidden "Add to" dialogue, all…
