On Zoom, you can push to talk by pressing the space bar. Yes, this advice is Zoom-centric but the app calls out Zoom in the first sentence on the page, so I think it's fair.

Cool idea: Feedback: When I miss typing a character, all subsequent characters are marked wrong (red), even when they are actually correct. For example, let's say I write "paralel" instead of "parallel". The E and L

I found ledger-cli (upon which beancount is based) immediately useful. However, since you mentioned Emacs, I should say that I use ledger-mode in Emacs to add entries. But I do most of my reporting directly on the command line.

Two examples: 1) I wanted to provide a Jupyter notebook with IBM DB2 support for a university course. (Why DB2? Because its optimizer can transparently use materialized views for query optimization which PostgreSQL can't AFAIK.) IBM pr

I tried the macOS terminal, iTerm2, and the xterm that ships with XQuartz. None of them work. I think the problem is that by default Alt+X creates printable characters on macOS. For example: Alt-E => € Alt-U => ¨ Alt-C => ç

The screenshot looks nice but I can't figure out how to get it working. I can mark files with TAB but how can I edit/stage/commit? The ALT-X hotkeys create characters which are used to refine the search.

Looking at examples of successful people is classic survivorship bias. Smart people who lucked out on their businesses do not get to write biographies. EDIT: spelling

+1 for ledger. I switched from GnuCash to ledger about 8 years ago and never looked back. I have a script that pulls my bank account using aqbanking [1] and icsv2ledger.py [2]. The latter can match transactions to templates and set transact

Thanks for being so responsive. This is a truly alarming UI. While you're at it, please ask the user whether he wants to sync at all during installation. By default it should not sync. I only have Creative Cloud installed because I am

Unfortunately, you cannot turn off retweets in lists, at least on the Twitter website or iOS app. I disable retweets for most of the people I follow. Fortunately, in Tweetdeck you can filter retweets for each list individually.
