   I can’t think of a way to do that. When content is added via css it’s not selectable. Maybe fork it and see what you can do? https://github.com/secretGeek/html_wysiwyg/

   It’s really system 1 and system 2 fighting, the temporal aspect just makes the drama more striking.

   There can be at least two selfs very easily. There is me, the wise guy who set the alarm so I can wake up early tomorrow and is distinct from the lazy me who won’t wake up the next morning. Then there is me, the nice guy who deserves to sle

   This is a good step in making your work live a longer life, and do more to help the world. Particularly once that first (and likely only) flush of money has come and gone.

   So many of the problems are “people problems” so in addition to the excellent technical suggestions in this thread I’d add books like “Thanks for the Feedback”, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, “Getting to Yes”

    “Thinking in Bets” by Annie Duke takes you through a specific model. “Principles” by Ray Dalio gives a mesh of models that Ray has learnt or improved.

    I listen to audiobooks on non-fiction and find that relistening brings out much more depth in the ideas (and my comprehension of them) My new plan is to read a summary of the book’s ideas first, perhaps read the summary twice. Then see if t

    I read on kobo, and wish for better tools for note taking and recording questions, etc. Should be the perfect tool for deep reading and techniques like SQ3R... but it sure ain’t.

    That book is so good that I feel like a shill when I recommend because I recommend it so enthusiastically.

    If you’re a lawyer representing a mass murderer you must still represent the interests of the client. To not do so would see you disbarred. So professional ethics can run counter to what a polite member of society would normally wish to do.

    All good suggestions ankushnarula! In the Windows version you can password protect the images. Because they're stored locally there hasn't been a massive uptake in this feature, but some people do use it. The icon is not easily hi

    Yes indeed. You can capture either: just the current application, just one screen, or "all screens" Some of the options can be seen in one of the screenshots: http://www.secretgeek.net/image/ts_mac_options_50.

    I’m guessing houses are more spread out where I live (in Australia). My nearest LFL is awesome and within walking distance but highly unlikely to be discovered by chance, and I walk the area daily.

    “Virtue signalling” is generally an unfalsifiable claim. As such it adds little to any discussion.

    Thanks so much enobrev, that’s really heart warming. ;) I use a bit of Linux myself these days via WSL (and digital ocean droplets running .net core). I feel strangely at home on Linux in a way I can’t really articulate. Perhaps in a past l

    The beta period may reveal more challenges, but so far we’ve routinely used it on 5 screen setups, with varying DPIs. Is that the sort of thing you’re asking about? I love your blogpost/screenshots.

    ...not true. We actually love electron as a platform. But there is no way at all it would be suitable for this product. So we didn’t use it here. Often when someone says “we now have a cross platform product” people think “I wonder if they
