Not "Old English", but the British English accent prevalent around the time of the founding of the United States. Old English is ~500AD, Beowulf, and a completely different language to anything ever spoken in the United States.

You say you tried, but it sounds to me like you didn't try hard enough. I'm a hobbyist photographer, and I do the vast majority of my photography work on a 9.7" iPad pro, with a Pencil. I'm constantly editing 24mp RAW fi

SiriKit and Siri Shortcuts are very different things. SiriKit allows you to build Siri support into your app a la Android Actions, but Siri Shortcuts is designed to allow drag-and-drop end-user "programming" of workflows that can

Workflow (the mother of Siri Shortcuts, as I understand it) already has sharing functionality. For example, this "get travel time to input destination" Workflow: https://workflow.is/workflows/ff987bcf0ad746d49

Bravery is not fundamentally incompatible with cave diving: it’s a hard requirement. People who simply aren’t brave just don’t go cave diving. That’s not to say that skill and consideration aren’t very important, but those guys are still bo

If only there were a good iOS quassel client. iQuassel is hot garbage. Quassel-webserver would be okay, if only iOS didn’t immediately reload PWAs when you reopened them.

This is about as true as it gets. Also, the UI for flow is absolutely atrocious once you start adding large numbers of conditionals.

This is less a "problem with trains" than it is a "problem with rail in the United States", or maybe just with SF. Melbourne Metro, for example, has roughly the same amount of weekday riders as BART, 415,000 vs 446,000 r

No one I know specifies overtime as unpaid or paid. It is simply time that is worked over the amount normally worked, and may be paid or not. Of my friends, I know if some of them say they worked overtime they mean unpaid, and I know if som

What you're talking about is yaw inertia, and as another comment points out it's solved by moving the weight to the front wheels. See an explanation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_handling#Yaw_

The answer to this is fairly simple: Offline access to email. You need a client for this, and an arbitrary browser won't do. Solved problem on iOS and Android with whatever mail app you want to use, but those are of course apps. Solv

A VPN service provider is not an ISP in the single way that is most important to me: In a "my government mandates that ISPs perform metadata collection" kind of way. My ISP tells me that they do, indeed, operate legally and collec
