Thanks for this, is it backwards compatible with previous versions of iOS? Or is there some combination of incantations that does graceful degradation?

Thanks, personally I found this the easiest way to think about it!

Instead of "headless", which I agree is confusing, perhaps instead: bare-bones; unstyled; fully customisable; extensible; unopinionated (maybe). "Artisan" seems fine, although it's slightly obscure. Perhaps instead:

I'm out and about on mobile at the moment, so can't check in detail. But I just wanted to say thank god you're doing this. Academia is desperately in need of (r)evolution in many areas.

Your privacy policy mentions fixlib.com which appears to be up for sale. Curious: how did you get hold of all the manuals, and hope did you process them all?

I have a suspicion this is partly because the ordinary middle class are poorer today, comparatively. We have more stuff, but it's lower quality. Anything built to last is beyond what many can afford. And there are structural reasons wh

The post notes that adults "fucking hated" the ladder E. Does anyone else find it creepy, or just me? I can't explain exactly why. As the alphabet develops in the replies, it loses some of the creepiness and gains something e

Curiosity rather than nit-pick: calligraphically or cursively? Or itallically? :) I've deliberately modified my handwriting a few times in my life, like many people. In my teens it was an expression of character. Later in life, I did a

Having been promoted to managing a team I was previously a part of, I feel your pain. If it helps, consider that this person might have tried exactly the same ploy with whoever was in your shoes. I'm sure they had some issues going on

This is fun, I'm enjoying reading the replies :) I'm certainly no expert, but attempting an explanation helps me exercise my personal understanding, so here goes. Corrections welcome. The "connections" you mention aren&#

Oh boy. Sounds like hell. Very glad you're through the other side.

My boss took me and my team out when there was a bit of ill-feeling brewing for reasons I can't remember. He bought everyone a few drinks, and asked what everyone's problems were. The issues came tumbling out with frankness. I kep

Well, it's hardly "colloquial" usage, more like conversational, dictionary, typical, etc. The comment didn't seem like it was grounded in maths/stats terminology. I read the comment as being about an individual rath

I didn't say they're insoluble, and I certainly didn't say we shouldn't attempt to treat and cure diseases. My issue is with seeing illness as an isolated "thing" almost as if it exists independently of the per

I have no experience of epilepsy, but I'd suggest (1) health conditions are not problems to be "solved", and (2) reducing complex systems to individual "soluble" components emphasises those components at the expense

Oh these are great, and I hadn't known of markdeep. Thank you! FWIW, my toolchain is currently markdown files in folders. I pre-pend 000-format numbers to file/dir names so they're assorted by ls or tree. Rendering is a bash

Similar to some others here, I have folders full of PDFs. I recently discovered Recoll, which is great for searching them. Fuzzy search of contents as well as filenames. https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/ As well a

I completely understand this. I think best through conversation with others involving drawing on paper or whiteboards. Without being able to do this, I can really struggle to focus ideas and plans. Online just does not work as well for this

There are introverts who value a dose of in-person interactivity. Some find the structure of the work schedule useful in ensuring a degree of socialisation. My question was more around whether the workplace can function better for both in

I genuinely don't understand why this was down voted. A comment would help. My intention was to be conciliatory and explanatory.

I agree that execs who've never written code often have no idea what it's like, and I've worked with some who didn't want to know. I've also worked in teams of engineers that did occasionally burst into laughter whi
