Apple Notes got tags with iOS 15 / macOS Monterey. You can combine them with Smart Folders for organization.

I love Keyboard Maestro's "Click on Found Image" action. Definitely quick and dirty, but it's great for ad-hoc web page automation when I can't be bothered to knock something up in puppeteer etc.

There's not much room for aesthetic variation if the goal is typography-focused minimal design with sans serif fonts. Especially if they both followed typography "best practices" for heading sizes, line heights, readable meas

Same in some parts of the UK—north east of England in my case. It's fine among friends, but I'd never say it in a business meeting or to my grandmother. It's all about the context and delivery—calling someone a cunt will be t

Yes, and if it was promoted as a "decentralized ledger of transactions" it would be fine and almost no one would have heard of it. But it's often aggressively promoted as a replacement for traditional currencies and banking

No, but it's quite difficult to have email reliably and consistently delivered to Gmail and other major email providers without sending it via a relay. The relay provider is in the business of maintaining IP addresses with good reputat

Perhaps not, but need is not the only reason to learn; people also learn things because they are fun, pleasurable, interesting, challenging, entertaining, beautiful, revelatory, creative, inspiring etc. It'd be a dull life if we only l

No American parent perhaps. The name doesn't have negative connotations elsewhere. For me, it's more associated with the previous pope and the actor than with Arnold.

Interesting. I would not have thought HN would take a Burkean approach to innovations in community management.

Unless I've been unusually inattentive, I think I'm right in saying the UK isn't currently dropping bombs on France.

The '+' button and double-clicking the title-bar doesn't maximize windows—it zooms them in Apple's terminology. It should just make the window big enough to display its contents, although some apps don't cooperate (

You can stop it hiding the menu bar in full screen. System Preferences -> Dock and Menu Bar -> Automatically Hide and Show Menu Bar in Full Screen (at the bottom of the window).

That may well be true. Thatcher gambled that home owners were more likely to vote conservative (and she was right). But an investigation of the historical cause of our lack of social housing does nothing to solve the problem in 2022, which

About 3000 were forcibly returned between June 2020 and June 2021, although the vast majority of those (2,809) are people convicted of a crime. Few non-criminals are forcibly returned to their point of origin once they are in the country, r

No one is arguing for zero immigration. That's a fiction you've invented. I'm arguing for controlled legal immigration: i.e, the UK gets to decide who comes to live here. I was entirely supportive of the recent scheme for Ukr

It's fascinating that you specify "the English". As if the Scottish, French, Spanish, Turkish, and many others don't have a history of colonialism. Plus, your argument seems to imply that English people today must pay fo

If anyone who can get in a boat in France can migrate to the UK, that is, by definition, uncontrolled. What you call "a well known trick" is, in fact, a perfectly reasonable argument, whatever the Guardian wants to say about it. I

It tends to be more popular among middle class people, and much less popular among working class people who actually bear the brunt of uncontrolled immigration. It's not the middle classes who are struggling to find social housing or a

If by "mouth breathers" you mean the majority of the UK population who would like immigration reduced, then yes, it probably is meant to appeal to them.

And when an asylum claim fails, what happens to the asylum seeker? The French won't take them back, so what generally happens is that they stay in the UK regardless of whether the claim is justified. That's equivalent to having op

It's not just in big cities either. My small provincial town has several shops and take-aways that appear to do no business at all. They're open for a couple of afternoons a week and never have any customers. There's a pizza

It's unpopular with left-leaning journalists, lawyers, and politicians. Polls are mixed about whether it's popular with the general public, but that's what elections are for.

How would you suggest the UK "stops the small boats"? Any attempt to stop them by force or push them back would result in a large number of drowned migrants. The only way to stop them is to discourage them from getting in the boat

Which is precisely why the UK is no longer in the EU. It no longer has to follow "majority law" and can do what is in its own best interests.
