A counterpoint to this is that local news is actually proving to be profitable (at least in the UK) on substack [1]. My guess would be that traditional local papers were too slow to adapt to the internet and also assumed that they would jus

You could also destructure g to end up with: .map(({ key, rows }) => ({ key, rows: rows.map(r => r[1]) }))

Former raindrop user here, I’d take a look at DevonThink if you want the automagic surfacing of similar things you’ve saved.

I believe so yes. But it is still better practice to have them dotted out until clicked on to minimise the chances of other people seeing them.

Alternative take: Once the chip shortage eventually ends, the company will have a ton of money to invest in schools because they’ve just earned a ton from supplying businesses. And they are likely to keep earning money to pump into educatio

If you can stomach the cost, OmniFocus and Taskpaper combined is the best I’ve found so far after trying more apps and systems than I could count using both hands and feet. In Taskpaper you can very quickly write out a detailed project with

You can't just declare your interpretation of faster to be correct and then denigrate someone else's interpretation by classifying it as a rant. The comment: > it's faster and easier to create a note in Apple Notes, retrie

Dart/flutter sound good and I have heard good things. The downside is you’re rolling the dice on whether it will still exist in five years because it’s a Google project.

I see substack gaining ground as a highbrow twitter replacement for literary, academic and journalist types of people. Possibly for tech people as well but they tend to make their own circles. It won't take off as much among the genera
