I think it used to be more prominent on gmail. Now it's a little link next to the name of the sender at the very top when the email is opened. But not all list messages have it, and for some, gmail even hides the unsubscribe link bel

Yes, the short version. I didn't realize there was a full-size version or I'm sure I would have picked that when my Mac was replaced.

I have an A1243 at home and a Magic Keyboard 2 at work. The difference in feel doesn't bother me, but the fn in the left corner gets me every time. Caps lock is mapped to control on both, but apparently I use that other control key w

Etcher is extra bad on Macos. Populating the file chooser dialog took minutes. I have no idea how it could be this wrong.

Third-hand knowledge, but a neighbor who is an ER doctor is always complaining that many nurses do not take PPE and Covid seriously despite seeing hundreds of seriously ill people this past year.

There are frequently non-stated properties of the input in Advent of Code that simplify the problem a bit.

I punted on part 2 of #20 as well, but came back to it the next day with a reasonable idea. Some of the tedious parts are easier to do by hand, like picking the corner of the map to start with on #20, or solving the uniqueness on #21. I&#x

This is nearly exactly the same presentation he does with Hanselman, which makes it seem likes he's only got a small amount of content. This and the parent video are really just a tech demo. More interesting would be an actual class

Thanks. "macos full disk access" seem to be the magic keywords for find out about this.

Yes, but it's fragile. Zoom has disabled whatever permission is needed for a virtual camera in the past, and I think Skype requires modifying the binary to enable it. The OBS virtual camera seems to work well now, but that's a r

Just out of curiosity, is there an allowed way to access directories like this? Sudo doesn't let me see the contents of the ~/Library/Safari directory. Can non-Apple programs access this, like backup programs? Can I bless

For what it's worth, the NDIHX software works well on iPhone and Mac through OBS, and is at least available on Windows. I'd like Macs to have an official loopback device so video effects wouldn't have to be implemented in eve

I hadn't seen a Youtube ad in years, but now Youtube gives "An error occurred. Please try again later." on first load in Safari on a Mac with Wipr. Reloading without blockers gives ads before and every few minutes and some o

With the Neo2 you can plug in a USB printer as well and it just works. The Neo2 has been the best cheap Christmas present my youngest kid ever got.

On a Mac, I like Skim.app or Preview. Skim is less aggressive about saving changes right away. I crop the pages, then read a two-page spread in full screen. You can also split the view if you want to refer to a non-adjacent page, though

Follow-up: 33.4 was because I'm an idiot. I have a surge suppressor with coax in/out between the wall and my modem (lost a cable modem, router and networked laser printer to lightning a few years ago). Removing it puts me at 103

Luxury! 33.4 Mbps down 22.5 ms latency 8.5 ms jitter in a medium city in Tennessee, USA. Paying for up to 100 Mbps, but ~35 is consistent across times and sites.

Getting away from one's home life has to have value for a lot of kids, either escaping a bad situation or getting free of an overbearing parent. I think the nytimes had an earlier article about the inequalities that are suddenly on di

I don't know if jailbreaking would solve this, but if iPads could have multiple users I'd have bought one by now. Since schools and now businesses have this option it's probably possible.

I'm not sure how big Oberwolfach's library is, but the first pic looks more like a (somewhat fancy) journals/new acquisitions display than like primary storage.

I thought the rule was that ligatures shouldn't cross syllable boundaries. Like the fi in "fine" can be replaced but not the fi in "barfing", so it would need to be a bit more than a lookup table. Or maybe a dicti

It seems slightly odd, given that there are different traditions of between-sentence spacing, that there doesn't seem to be a Unicode character for the kind of space between sentences.

Schools, particularly those without large endowments, often have large debts they have to service and rely on tuition for much of that. Building facilities is not cheap, and state governments have been providing less funding.

I still have a 6s with a headphone jack. I don't use headphones much, but do plug it into our cars (admittedly not as much of an issue lately). One has no bluetooth, one has incompatible bluetooth. Neither have USB input. Both are
