Command Option Space Or consider Alfred App which has fuzzy search: “Command Space” then “fd” Will find finder. That’s around 3 or 4 keys The huge problem (in my experience) with the Windows key and associated shortcuts is accidentally hit

Yea, it's not always immediately apparent. Here are suggestions for your use cases: For sleep, I use ctrl - cmd - q (shown at this submission's link) Resizing windows with keyboard is indeed the missing piece in macOS. Hence, Magn

This is how I do this exercise. No mouse required: 1. `cmd - shift - /` to jump to Help (works in any app) 2. type `tab` ["Hmm, I don't know exact shortcut to <undo close tab>, so let me start with something generic...&

I have the 1.0 from 2015. Solid machine. Butterfly keyboard still works flawlessly and even feels different from the butterfly on my work 2017 MB Pro which has worn out and misses keys. But the 12” form factor gets too hot and CPU is weak e

It looks like the Bloomberg editor in chief is actually the former editor of The Economist, though he switched 5 years ago Learned this in one of the articles in this thread: Shortly after his return, he hired a new editor-in-chief -- John

To create new folder, right click in the window (not on a file nor a folder). Copy paste also works with right click. To move (a la cut), hold option key. Also hold option key to see "move" menu option under Edit - Paste (Move)

The new google chat No new user, and rarely an experienced one, starts a new thread. Every reply just builds on the original. All this even when the new thread button is _right in front of you_. But the design is so terrible I don’t blame p

I sometimes wonder if today’s political divisions are substantially deeper than in the past. Infighting seems to go back to the founding fathers. So is today the end of democracy? Or standard operating practice?

It’s not only outputs/labels that provide “insights”. Knowing how the outputs relate to the inputs is where most new insights could come from. For example, what feature (input) is driving the “failure” of the machine (output/predi

Focusing on "more efficient" in "better": - emacs: works for me to code in R, python, connect to remotes, etc - keyboard shortcuts: got started with them early, and never looked back. Bonus: linux/macOS/emacs t

In Catalina, I see the move towards these macOS & iOS compatible apps ("Catalyst") as making it easier to develop apps for both. It's a service for developers, if you will (I am not an app developer!) I don't necessa

A similar philosophy has made the "tidyverse" a much-loved extension of the statistical language R. Compare the following 2 equivalent snippets. Which one seems more understandable? iris_data %>% names() %>%

Not OP. I use it with my manager to asynchroneously share updates and todos. It's in reverse chronological order, with a big heading for each weekly 1-1. We both write directly in the doc, and tag each other with comments for updates.
