Does this support group chats? How does it do encryption if so?

I think a lot about code readability a lot. I agree with most of this except the names part and shorthand constructs. Especially for the latter, it's unfair to make a comparison wi…

I'm glad the writer has actually tried Tailwind and I respect it's not really their thing, but I've got to hard disagree with the Builder vs Crafter/specialist look on it. Tailwind…

Yes, I can't believe how few good complete solutions there are for this that don't involve me curating anything. Currently I have obsidian notes for different libs and technologies…

I've not done used the feature in ages, but I'm pretty sure Calibre can do something similar.

...um I didn't suggest we crack down on anything. Just personally I would think you're crazy if you tell me you're dimension jumping.

Part of it probably is hypnagogia though I was so alert that it did not feel like that normal transition to sleep. It felt more like I had meditated myself into a lucid dream. Ther…

This just sounds like lucid dreaming awake imo. Kind of scary some of these people believe they're actually jumping dimensions or something. Wonder how much control they can exert …

Interesting, but would not really use it unless it could auto group by url. I don't want to have to set things up. Like if I have more than X tabs for a site, group them automatica…

Strangely I did not have a strong internal monologue when I was young. My thoughts were mostly "visual" unless reading. It is more 50/50 now, but I still "see" most of what I think…

Mmm, strange. I do some minor diy stuff and I can't imagine not imagining stuff. I do draw on paper to brainstorm and use CAD but most of the design problem solving goes on in my h…

I knew there were people who don't see anything, but I would have thought anybody could do 6. I can imagine far more complex 3D stuff (more than rotating, also complex movements) b…

Apart from the other tips given, in particular proper technique: Try doing a few meals in a row with similar ingredients and chop once for like the next 2-3 days (depending on what…

This is really interesting, can't wait for more. Personally I cannot really get the hang of linked editors like this that only use links or basic tags for structure. They require t…

As a writer I hate these types of apps. As others have pointed out, when you put real popular works in them, they light up like christmas trees. But very few have touched on why. O…

Mmm I don't know, maybe it's me and the fact I don't have a problem coding for many hours at a time, during which it's one step forward, two back, three forward, etc. We all know h…

Being interrupted (and especially by the type of interruptions on a bus, like what's the worse interruption? getting asked to move?) or working in bursts is not the same as doing 2…

This method is great. I use it all the time. But one of these does not feel like the others... ( cough "Build a program → Code a function" cough ). All the others could be done in …

Just want to second this. I live somewhere were having your phone out is dangerous so I'm forced to use it only when needed. The number one thing I use my phone for is checking bus…

I hate when they cancel lesser known shows that maybe never had a wide audience to begin with (Dark Crystal, Dirk Gently, etc). Like why did they even bother to make the shows??? T…

I think it's still way to early to call any cases failures, and I would rather my country had followed the swedish model or almost literally any other model than "strict" quarantin…

I wish someone had recommended fish to me as a beginner. When I discovered it I was finally able to write some aliases and scripts without copy/pasting, overdoing it by resorting t…

The saddest thing is its easier to just install it from WSL and use something an X server and it runs faster .

Most kids could barely work the programs in my school let alone fix them. This almost sounds like OSS wants to use the schools to create future bug fixers. Also there isn't a one s…

I love goodreads, but I've wished for so long for two things way more basic than good recommendations which I don't really care about (except the finding people with similar rating…
