Some people genuinely want to help others, without any immediately visible reward. I won’t say it’s necessarily altruistic, as of course there could be a drive from inner machinati…

This may be true in some cases, but I’ve also seen issues with too many stamps, signatures, red-tape, tribunals/committees, and multi-stage approval chains. There’s a balance somew…

Mostly because there are different depths of reporting required depending who you’re creating said reports for. Often it’s unnecessary bureaucracy, but also often the ones doing th…

I wouldn't call myself an 'experienced' developer, but I do find LLMs useful for once-off things, where I can't justify the effort to research and implement my own solution. Two re…

It's an interesting dilemma, since if I know that an email was written mostly with AI, it feels to me like the author didn't put effort in, and thus I won't put much effort into re…

It would be pretty hard to do a fair comparison between the users of the Reddit app and Apollo. Accessing reddit.com on a mobile will bombard you with pop ups to get you to access …

https://monkeytype.com is also an excellent alternative. You can change the difficulty to fail on words, individual characters, or if you fall below a % threshold.

Obviously the ideal solution would be for Apple to fix this, since resetting network settings forgets wifi passwords. But as far as I’m aware the issue doesn’t affect everyone, so …

I’ve had something similar happen with a few different iOS updates. Usually I’ll just reset the network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and that seem…

All of the old direct page links still work You can click on the Disney logo, and then on the various icons on the bottom of the text notes to navigate around Seems to be a fun lit…

ING Australia is even worse for this, as it’s an 8 digit acc number with a 4 digit PIN to login. St. George isn’t as terrible, but they have a quirk of requiring a 4 digit security…

I used to bank with WestPac and from memory it wasn’t possible to do this as they had some additional javascript running that would cipher every letter.

I think I had most things working properly within the first few days, but kept customizing and changing settings/fonts/themes/plugins. Mostly procrastinating by pretending I was "B…

Writing appears to be fine for me (Chrome 79 on Win 10) The drawing above the cursor looks like an issue with the iframe The iframe url is https://app.ryeboard.com/board/demo , whi…

Had the same thing when I was studying CompSci. Ended up spending more time configuring vim than doing the work I was supposed to do. Even did the completely pointless exercise of …

That’s basically what I did. I had a few things running in IFTTT and Microsoft flow, but both have pretty big limitations. Moved everything across to webhook, which is running powe…

The small incentive from gamification works surprisingly well, especially for things where it's hard to visualise the net gains (Oral care, cleaning, etc). For tasks though, I pers…
