So did I, when I lived in the Bay Area and actually had a choice. In my corner of Seattle, my only choices are Comcast and CenturyLink, which appear to be equally despised by people.

A year or two ago, on a weekend, I wrote some XSLT to transform old-school Pages'08 documents to html. But I don't make a habit of working with XSLT.

It looks like Facebook asks for Location: Always on iOS. (I've got mine set to Never.) I wonder if they feed this back to the servers. I presume you didn't post anything about the "event" to facebook (I've seen &qu

It's possible this is just the first step in that direction.

textbundle.org is an attempt to standardize that. Not sure how much traction it has though.

I have the same problem with my iMac (the last couple of revisions of MacOS seem to be unusable on hard disk), but it's bit more difficult to swap in an SSD on the iMac.

Also, "Amazon Now" - Amazon has a few overlapping services for this sort of thing.

Something like "bubbles" tends to be popular with the younger kids. My kid also was a big fan of "Petting Zoo" (by fox and sheep GMBH) around that time. (It was briefly free in the app store - it's somewhat abstrac

Using $ and $$ is most legible for me. Having spent many years using TeX. Pandoc seems to do the same thing - I suspect for the same reasons. I usually patch this into markdown systems that I use. This is especially useful when you have ha

YMMV, but OneNote makes me nervous. I briefly played with it on OSX, and didn't see a good way to get notes out of it (e.g. for backup, recovery/usage in absence of OneNote). That is one thing that Evernote gets right IMO - the

Apple has also been using bsdiff for incremental app updates (on device). I discovered bsdiff while poking around in one of their update files.

Heh, I live in Seattle, and I've got two grocery stores 1 km from my house (and a small seafood / poultry place at about 1.1 km). My first thought was why would I drive down to Belltown, when I can just walk to the store. Edit: To

I occasionally use it on my iPad as an extra screen. It's also useful while on a plane. The desktop version if coding, or iPad if I just want to browse docs to learn a new API or something. But, to be honest, I rarely use the iOS ver

I've been using vi for over 20 years, but not a power user or anything (emacs for code, vi for quick edits), and have no idea how to use it without esc. Did vim change something? How do you switch modes?

Yeah, we do something similar, although we send a much smaller amount of email than MailChimp. Our admin runs about 10% of the outgoing mail through our DR site to keep google et al trained to accept emails from those IPs.

I've also had good luck with "scannable" in the past (acquired by evernote, but still works without evernote). One nice thing about their UI is that as soon as it gets a good lock, it acquires and processes the image, and th

Yeah, in the past, I've had to scale my own scans/photos to get good results. The tesseract github site mentions this: "Tesseract works best on images which have a DPI of at least 300 dpi, so it may be beneficial to re

FoldingText.app on OSX and "usecanvas.com" on the web work similarly. I really like that editing model for markdown. (Hiding all the markup except that which is surrounding or adjacent to the cursor.) I'd love to see someone

The PBKDF2 stuff is still there for the keybag, someone just added additional encryption (of the "file" column in that database - data that was previously unencrypted) with the same password using single iteration sha1. (Data sour

by dunham 10y ago
It's a little worse than that. The "file" column of the database is a binary plist encrypted with AES128-CBC using the first 16 bytes of SHA1(password||salt) as a key and 0,1,2,...,15 as a salt. So those columns could be use

tbody is the table body, the DTD allows multiple tbodys and says "Use multiple TBODY sections when rules are needed between groups of table rows". (By "rules" they mean solid horizontal lines, but I think you'd have

(TL;DR - this is a concept that computer science borrowed from math) In math (say abstract algebra / group theory), the operations on your database form a group under composition. Given two operations f,g (say f is "subtract $10&q

It looks like the linked article has been updated at the end to clarify. It sounds like some third party extension's installer (e.g. DivX) is reaching into Chrome.app and mucking with permissions (setting owner to root). Not sure why t

Yeah, essentially the _tag_ is optional, but the element is still there. An example of a tag that almost everyone omits is <tbody>. A <tr> can't exist directly under <table> (per the DTD), so you're explicitly op

by dunham 10y ago
But the SGML heritage is what makes this valid, and it is common in other SGML doctypes. (e.g. if you download OFX data from your bank, the closing tags will be omitted from certain elements.) Both the optional closing tags for P and the o

I did this in javascript years ago (I had done snappy first, but wanted smaller data). It's fun and not too difficult. The deflate side seems a little more complex. I played with it while on vacation about a month ago, but stalled af

My favorite model for editing markdown is the one that usecanvas.com and FoldingText (an OSX app) use. They present the document as WYSIWYG with markdown hidden, but unhide any markdown surrounding or directly adjacent to the cursor. (So t

Siri asks for passcode if I explicitly ask for email or even phone number, but gives me the contact sheet if I ask for name. But I should mention that I'm running iOS 10 at the moment, so it could be a regression. Also, "send ema

If you have a contact card set up, ask Siri "What is my name", then click on the mail icon. It will present all of your email addresses. (This works for me when I activate siri with my pinkie finger, which isn't a register

We've had good luck with "pdftotext" from poppler/xpdf. The only things that were garbled were intentionally obfuscated. (The files had a mangled character encoding table that was added to the pdf to prevent copy/pa
