    Can anyone tell me how to set up a wallet on my Mac in order to get my coins off coinbase. Is there any clear guide on how to do that. Every link on Google seems to be spam or down…

    One massive I'd add to this list that got added recently - being able to copy and paste text out of images. I'm so often sent a screenshot with a url in the url bar, I can now copy…

    Looks great! Two things you could do to make it super smooth is speed up the animation by about two thirds, and make it so one book is put back before the second one gets animated …

    Reminds me of the time I didn't go into do-no-disturb on a screenshare, I got four messages off my other half in quick succession: "You didn't defrost the pie." "I can't find anyth…

    Just spin up a Rails app, pop on a Postgres DB, tailwind CSS, job done. (Only half joking.)

    I'm not sure I agree with most of these, it's not the way I'd go about them, but also I don't see what I do in the comments so I'll add my own hopefully unique perspective here. Fo…

    To play devil's advocate (?), I use them all the time at work, I could argue that it makes me more efficient. Easier to react with a thumb emoji and grinning emoji than than saying…

    OMG, that substack is fantastic, thank you for that, I've spent the past hour or so reading it - on the most popular emojis observable atm - https://observablehq.com/@jenniferdanie…

    Totally agree. You're describing Hanlon's razor. No malace behind blocking it, just a result of incompetence.

    When I was staying at my parents over the winter holidays, after they'd gone to be at 9pm, my wifi went down and I had to troubleshoot what on earth was up with my laptop. Turns ou…

    When I saw the title I briefly thought this was a re-launch of Pownce, the Twitter competitor.

    I absolutely agree that Disulfiram is an awful drug to treat alcohol abuse with, it feels like conversion therapy for taking a drink. Also, there is no fixing of the underlying iss…

    I'm in the rare category here, but I've got around 50% hearing loss and I love it. I can't hear alarms, or dogs, or radios etc. It's fantastic for living in the city. I've tried a …

    I think Elon Musk is a free speech absolutist, so woke people - or who are against social injustice and racism - will remain on Twitter. (Which I personally think is a good thing.)…

    This is going to sound naive, but I've zero idea how to draw my coins out of Coinbase and put them on my Mac / memory stick. I can't seem to find any legitimate source of info on h…

    I feel like this is really obvious, but writing tests for everything, you're not necessarily saving time right now, but it is an investment in saving 10x time later when someing 10…

    A potassium IV should not be painful in the sligtest, it should just be a tiny pin prick when it's going in. Something went wrong if that was hurting.
