I've noticed the same. When I go looking for some video on youtube, I first pause, prepare my query in my mind and then open youtube & rush to type what I prepared, sift quickly and try to find what I'm looking for, then close

So first I do my homework. Get my own financing. Know exactly what model I want. Then I look online for all the dealers selling this vehicle, note the place, contact info, leave room for the name of the rep I'll be speaking to, price,

The fun part is you can turn that technique against them and it works like a charm. I've repeated this a few times now: dedicate a day to car buying and call 10 of them up telling them I'm buying a car TODAY, with these precise sp

This could be implemented at the site level (unfortunately with bloated frameworks, few care). One possible implementation could have the browser measure how long it takes to load assets and switch to requesting lightweight ones if loading

Haven't noticed that audio issue on Webex Teams but some of my coworkers with poor internet connection use PSTN callbacks so while their audio sounds a bit more "tin can", at least it's a predictable quality. And that

Therapy is more than facilitating a conversation. It may help reframe her (and your) point of view on your relationship. And that doesn't have to entail authority or shame; quite the opposite. Check if your insurance covers it, some pl

True. But seeing a potential path towards making a sifnificant dent to the uncontrolled spread of the virus is a welcomed respite from nearly a year of darkness. EDIT: I upvoted you because you make a valid point. Things will not recover ov

I picked up a Xerox color laser (Phaser 6510) a couple years ago during a sale and it's fantastic. Network printer, support double-side, great quality on ordinary paper and inexpensive toner (well, more than what my Laserjet 8000 toner

The quirky design served a purpose. It helped target early adopters in a market. I had 2 Nissan LEAF from 2013-2018 and was keenly aware that I was enjoying a piece of the future. Part of the experience was simply revolutionary: quietness,

The pendulum has swung full opposite from the skewmorphic trend in the early 2000s. Now it's all about abstract shapes for UI buttons, and abstract color blobs for app icons.

There also appears to be a viral load issue. Exposure to a few droplets containing the virus carries risk of transmission, but exposure to many lung-fuls of contaminated air seems to have an even higher risk[1]. [1] SARS-CoV-2 viral loa

I'm not sure if they are dogfooding their own framework, but it's annoying that the cards on the home page won't even let you select their content without going straight to a different page. It's a subtle breakage of `a

Thank you! I'm in the camp of "Curious about Lisp but never jumped into it" and was wondering if indentation could reduce some of the bracket-noise. This is VERY elegant!

OmniGraffle can be used to scratch some of the many needs that HyperCard fufilled. Shapes can trigger not just navigation or show/hide but also AppleScripts. Can be quite useful to throw together a quick MVP, which HyperCard was awes
