Ending the savings account would be a real shame - I never asked for a physical card, so all Apple Card transactions go through Apple Pay before landing in that account. Getting (effectively) 6% back on everything is a real boon. I know the

Oh, tadpole... I was once like you, thinking like "It's the web! I know this!" Turns out, no...actually you don't. I've been soaking in this for a couple weeks, trying to rid my life of the last few Word documents t

This has been my experience as well - For repetitive things, If what you're looking for is the shitty first draft, it's a way to get things started. After that, you can shape the output - without GPT's help - into something t

If you've never really grokked spreadsheets like Excel, this is a great place to start. Although I don't have Office installed, most of what Joel demos can be done in Numbers if you are so inclined. It's not nearly as powerfu

Here I was thinking I was the only one with insane insurance stories... The closest experience I can think of to this was when I was a sophomore in college in 2006. In short order, I had a seizure, was taken to a local Trauma ICU, and hours

Yet you can still apply styles - to an extent - to most of these. Even just margin/padding will affect many of them.

I'm mostly HTML5 at this point and have been for some time. The only exception I would make is things (say, Standard Ebooks) that haven't made the jump yet so their linters freak out if you don't do things exactly as they e

What I'm really thinking about is something approaching Snap Layouts from Windows 11. SM kinda, sorta does this, but the layout isn't as nice as what Microsoft did, hence the complaints. I would argue that the idea that windows

It's an interesting take, but I'm not sure how this deals with multiple windows if all the demos show a primary, active window and everything else "offstage." I don't need to just see those other windows and their

I still want macOS to "borrow" (Read: steal) window snapping from Windows. The mere existence of MultiView on Apple TV gives me hope that someone is at least thinking about how to implement such a system. https://www.

Local, encrypted backups are a thing - use them. It's debatable how useful this advice is for field agents, who might not be carrying a computer with them all the time, but for regular people it's entirely feasible.

If you talk to certain old people - like my parents, one is 70 and other will hit the mark this November - they might say, "Russia? Like, the KGB?" and then I can quote Robbie Coltrane's Valentin in The World is Not Enough...

To the point about last names, it's also culturally off-putting.[1] This is a different context obviously, but the idea is the same. "In most of the English speaking world it is not considered polite to open letters to a Mr. Joel

I'm just here to enjoy the fact that the complaint uses Western Name Order[1]. For some strange reason, AP and a bunch of other style guides use pinyin when dealing with Chinese subjects, which in this case is...just not correct. If yo

I might argue instead that simply having Passwords as another item inside Settings is appropriate for what functionality it exposes. It's a feature, not a product, doesn't do everything that Keychain Access does in macOS, and does

You could use the shorthand, but it's really not necessary at this point. The spec is (unsurprisingly) quite [specific][1] that this color value is exactly "#663399". All browsers which implement CSS Colors have had support f

Long story short, Microsoft chose the wrong horse in this race. The fallout from this decision should have been apparent when WSL came into being - I would be shocked if the WSL didn't use Ctrl-C to send a keyboard interrupt. In your u
