Notice that most of the examples have none of the green highlight counter, which is shown for > small losses. KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average rose 32 points, or 0.2…

Some applications make use of this macOS feature, like CheatSheet or Shortcat. I wish other platforms had a similar feature, I only know of vaguely similar behaviour in Vim/Emacs w…

Restricting read access is one of the missing features in monorepos. While they make a lot of stuff easier and trackable, I don't feel comfortable having every temporary consultant…

Some stuff I'd love to see implemented: - Typed inputs and IntelliSense. There is very basic support for types, even so, I'd love even more strict types and type inference as in Ty…

> There's a whole other rant I have about this problem, where we really lack domain specific trust standards - i.e. communicating with a business, what I want to know is "is this a…

> (2) Signal has no system by which you can communicate to "conceptual entities" - i.e. companies. This has always kind of bugged me with email as compared to physical mail: While …

In theory the giants that already hold the vast majority of all email communications - like Microsoft and Alphabet - are in a prime position to introduce a successor, hopefully thi…

I don't think that Signal is a proper substitute for anything that email is used for. Maybe it would be better to work on more secure successors or extensions to email.

I have similar doubts as well. Especially considering that digital signatures and encryption do not protect against impersonation attacks, like phishing via facebok.com or other si…

One of the largest holes in encrypted communication is still the fact that the vast majority of email is still neither digitally signed, nor encrypted. And even if they are, the us…

I always disliked that it was so difficult to interact with Word if you wanted to create automated documents. Instead I'd love it if there was a developer-first experience to creat…

Is this something where you could or should cooperate with the Internet Archive?

I am still dreaming of something that would allow a user to file a ticket, have them record audio and video like loom to describe the issue and what they were trying to achieve, an…

As an amateur, that follows SpaceX from a distance, what makes the W-band so interesting?

Do these implementations use the neural engine? I saw that there was a stable diffusion implementation using the neural engine and I found that my macbook noticably did not run hot…

Maybe you can start that list, on GitHub or something like that, so people can contribute.

No. On the contrary, GDPR explicitly allows data to be stored if retention is required for law, such as all financial data for 10+ years. However, there is absolutely no need to ho…

Thank you for the list, I will take the advice to heart immediately.

What are the warning signs? The paths you described kind of describe things I do. Sometimes they are necessary and I am taking steps to prevent them. At the same time I worry I alr…
