How is this shortcut even possible? Maybe it’s because I have an older model or haven’t figured out how to build good Shortcuts yet, but I thought that every shortcut requires some kind of manual activation. Would you launch the shortcut fr

I don’t think it’s other iPhones that are sending a signal. Rather, it’s probably a security option that’s easy for most people to overlook in the Settings app. I have little knowledge about iPhone hacking, but I think in the same place whe

I’m trying to think of this from the point of view of the “null hypothesis”. Typically, I have heard that you want to design your system so that Type II errors are more serious. This is where it gets confusing for me because your comment ma

I feel like this is the wrong approach. I say a lot of the benefit of flash cards comes that you’re supposed to be writing your own because the heavy lifting that comes from thinking about what to include on them is really good for your lea

Some dentist practices (maybe they are chains) do seem very shady when it comes to overtreatment. I remember on my first visit to an office that I was recommended customized trays that I could wear overnight to have my teeth/gums soake

In my opinion, Google Drive is basically the same as the traditional file structure. Where it gets very confusing for people is when it comes to collaboration. Before 2020 or so, there was confusion around copying the same Google Doc so it

I read that in their battle with adblockers, the YouTube team seems to have broken Premium at least once. I think they were accidentally showing banner ads to Premium users.[1] It seems kind of odd, but wouldn’t your money be better off bei

I have never heard of "left spacebar" before. Sounds very interesting. So there can be two different spacebars on your keyboard?

It’s interesting that you mention motivation/drive on a post like this. I have similar thoughts whenever there are posts about personalized learning technology or improving public education.

I had heard of this kind of operation before. What I had heard is that the initial series of messages attempt to phish you, but after you ignore them, they try to intimidate you into giving up the password by sending you threatening message

I will note that Dropbox has changed so much from when I first learned of their service. They seem very focused on providing solutions to businesses now compared to back then when it seemed more like a product for individual users.

I’m not familiar with these kinds of gamification concepts. The idea of a skill tree is that you have to work on prerequisite skills before getting to the outer reaches of the tree, no? I wonder why the cocktail tree has “Ask a liquor store

Your comment is reminding me a lot of the ideas in a short book called “Program or Be Programmed” by Douglas Rushkoff. I think specifically it’s the idea about how digital technology has a “social bias” that can conflict with the interests

That combination of columns being a candidate key depends on the world or domain that your dataset is modeling. In this example, I think it was a list of the top 50 restaurants in the world and so it would make a fine key. But if that datab

Wasn’t there an open source software (called “Rem”) that someone posted about here not that long ago? It was basically the same thing as this Windows feature but it was for Mac.

I wondered about its American origins too. I vaguely remember a little detail in the novel Cryptonomicon where one of the characters (a Lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army during WWII) sets his watch with a radio time signal. So that g

I wonder how it estimates VO2Max and how often depending on the model. On my Series 3, it seems to make a data point two or three times a month and it’s concerning to me because it seems like it isn’t trending up even though I have started

Not sure how it works with factory farming, but apparently pigs and chickens can share space on a farm often. I am not sure about whether cows and pigs often share space.

The important part of this article to me is where the author writes that for some companies or government agencies, their communication practices do not pass muster. I’m very curious to learn more about that crappy government letterhead tha

I really liked this article. I really love the examples given. The part about names and pronunciation, and the manga examples actually reminded me of a anime scene that appears confusing at first. In the scene, there’s a character that rece

I already knew there was a legal separation between biometric access and password access. But what I’m still confused about is whether someone who is very security or privacy focused would ever willingly want to use Face ID or Touch ID. Als

In my experience, colleges (at least those that are not-for-profit) don’t actively try to convince you to attend their campus. The expectation or pressure to attend generally comes from their family, friends, and school community. If a repu

This is scratching an rare itch for me because I am a heavy subvocalizer when I read just about anything, and when I have a song stuck in my head, I end up wondering what it would sound like if someone sang the words I’m reading to the tune

This really reminds me of a writing course I took called “Writing Stories for Science”. That’s where I first encountered the idea of story beats. The class seemed more focused on the natural sciences and story structures, so I got the impr
