Newspapers feel they have an obligation to report what our representatives say, good or bad, but they also have editorials that comment on that reporting. In some cases (like The Economist) reporting and commentary are…
That’s a good idea. Thanks!
I do this but include the symlink command in the document. That way all the links become one copy and paste.
I read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ for the first time this year. Highly recommend.
It was worth it for me. I spend lots of time learning the tools I use for work (database systems, departmental protocols, client interactions) and having a better personal productivity tool is at the center of…
This is also what org-mode[0] does. My files are 'logbook', 'life', 'project-1', 'project-2', etc. At any time I can hit a key and capture an idea/meeting to any of those places, and as I'm taking notes I can mark…
Fantastic. Very useful and I have a lot of trust in the company sticking around.
If you're a subscriber they do full-text search and archiving.
Lots of terminal based stuff but particularly fzf. Also Mimestream, a Gmail client.
A History of the Crusades by Steven Runcimen.
Fantastic book! But yes, Incredibly dense, but easy to read. Feels like 5 years of research is packed into each chapter (which I suppose is true). But so worth it. I think about a concept from that book at least every…
As someone who lives in California, I can't imagine there being that much snow on the ground.
The best piece of advice I ever heard was "all you need is less". For me, simply doing less stuff, but being more "intentional" or "mindful" or whatever you want to call it, is the key. For example, I used to have…
33 is a great age to have a kid (if you want them, and if you're in a position to do so). I had to wait (long story) until 37 and there's part of me that regrets it a little bit. There's a real benefit that comes from…
As a manager, I would say tell your manager about your struggles. Or tell someone who is in a position to ask you what you think in those meetings.
It’s a very minor point but this article makes it sound like the generic term for a union buster is Pinkerton agent. Pinkerton is a private company who does security work these days, but has a long history of doing…
Totally in the same boat. I’ve taken to sometimes doing a fake commute walking around the block before I start work.
People tire of politics when (they feel) the conversation becomes unconvincing, pedantic, or monotonus. That doesn't mean those people have the wrong attitude, it means the argument is not compelling.
Came here to say this. I mean, just trying to figure out how to use a particular Emacs function, I can search GitHub for that function and find hundreds of examples of people using it. So incredibly useful.
Even someone like me, a VFX professional who does a lot of RAW processing, dealing with RAW is sometimes such a chore. There are plenty of times where I want to use Halide and I want to shoot RAW but I also want to…
That video is required viewing for my team.
I didn't see this one anywhere. You can use modifier keys in combination with Hot Corners. Go to [System Preferences > Mission Control > Hot Corners] and when you make your selection just press the modifier you'd like…
Nice!
Right-clicking worked for me. Also works with YouTube. Lovely tip.
You can also do this by opening a new window, resizing/positioning it how you'd like, then immediately closing it. Next time you create a new window it will be exactly the same.
