I get the impression that Apple makes an effort with accessibility and would be horrified about this blind/“where am I” example. Hopefully there’s an employee here who sees it and can get it in front of the right person.

I came across a fairly detailed guide to travelling in outback Australia the other day. The site owner/author was an older woman in Germany or similar.

There are still a variety of planes parked at the airport in Alice Springs (central Australia). Maybe it's a size thing with using Victorville over Alice?

They should be available everywhere. Where they exist in Australia, it's pretty much only for luxury, hosted travel. The Adelaide-Melbourne service is seated and runs during the day. I think they're competing with freight which ge

Your first sentence makes me wonder how much "taking work home" has compromised our social lives. On any given night trying to catch up with friends, it's likely that at least one will have a deadline they're working to,

Because I work with those drives from multiple locations and don't want to cart around the NAS box (which I use as an extra backup instead). Home, office, location, while away, etc. Current method is survivable, it's just a lot to

The personal stuff is generally travel/outings with my children, and I naturally think everything about them is "exceptionally well made"! Har har.

Fair point, but my main initial comparison was of photographer versus photographer/videographer in the clutter/hoarding sense. I would have a lot more than 2TB that is just personal holiday content over the years. The video conten

Yes, usually shooting for a client: https://serio.com.au/projects/ I should probably just add a 10% line item for drives and archiving. But also a good amount is speculative - shoot a location and then try to sell the

I work with photos and videos and cannot comprehend downsizing to 2TB. Or even finding time to go through and selectively cull old footage. I shot a simple one-day drone-only vineyard job last week that generated 140GB, not including graded

If my children watch YouTube, it is with me and I'm choosing the content, or giving them options to pick between. We generally watch documentaries. Where necessary, I provide extra explanations, or paraphrase subtitles for the preschoo

We've found that watercolour pencils are great in helping them with detailed art that might be beyond some children straight painting at that age. Not books or games, and not sure where your child is at with her drawing, but my kids (s

Yes, I agree with that about raising them, but I think that improves the chances and well short of guarantees it. One of our first cats was very unfriendly and hated being held, grumbling the whole time until you put her back down. As kids,

My past cat was like Bea, but in addition would lie across my shoulders while I worked at the desk, and chirp into my ear. I've never tried replacing him because I think the chances of getting another cat like that are low.

And relevant to HN is that, culture wars aside, it involves challenging and interesting problems (homelessness, drugs, petty crime). There are multiple approaches to situations like these and the best solutions could well be a compromise.

The other month I was on a 3-4 day train trip from Brisbane to Adelaide. I wouldn't describe the track sounds as soothing - struggled to sleep the first night, and wasn't much better the next. It's not overly quiet and you ge

The sort of people that need to improve their strategy of meeting women like this sometimes overthink the motives and behaviour of those they're hoping to meet. In a marketing sense, it's about the funnel. Someone upthread talked
