Since this place, at this time, seems to be as good as any to ask for recommendations: Is there a paid service that's similar to Google Voice where I can get an extra phone number and have calls to it routed to my normal phone? I'

Since my penmanship isn't all that great, I use quite a few of these guidelines when I'm writing out math problems. At any rate, you can ignore a lot of them if, like most people, all you need is A-Za-z0-9πθ+.

I'm a fan of vim, BBEdit, and Visual Studio Code, but "less capable than emacs" describes just about every text editor. While I'm using VSCode a lot more these days, I still like BBEdit a lot. It's a Mac-native prog

I'm pretty sure you can add e-mail aliases even after using the certificate from Fastmail. (Disclaimer: this is undoubtedly true on macOS; I haven't done this sort of thing on iOS in ages.)

I second this. I had a secondary computer that I switched between Vista and 7, back and forth, for various reasons, and it was much, _much_ slower on Vista than 7.

The 2015s don't have the "a single speck of dust gets in the keyboard and disables a key" problem. All later models do. I don't think upgradeability factors into it much.

I suspect the biggest difference might be between one-to-one and in-a-group. In a group, other people will move the conversation in ways that distract from one person finding out the reasons why the other person holds the views he/she

Yeah, 2^32 was _clearly_ chosen based on what makes for nice, round numbers in binary, not based on reasonable population and cell-phone-use projections. On the other hand, Urbit might never become popular enough for this sort of thing to r
