Drunk history worked exactly twice for me: Fredrick Douglas, and the Night Before Christmas. Every other episode I watched after that was so so.

One of my goals this year is to be better organised at tracking my goals :) so far I haven't got around to it. In all my note taking I try and keep things plain text. I have a folder for the year with a file called goals.txt with a lis

I love the idea of infinite canvas, OneNote has this and it's really freeing. > The web-client works on any modern browser. It doesn't matter if you're using a Chromebook, a Surface, or a toaster. Apparently toaster beats

It's almost all writing blogs. Either famous authors or blogs / websites about writing. As an aspiring author I want to learn all I can from the professionals. I also have web comics

I think it was the software team. MacOS dev team was inexplicably merged with the IOS dev team and that's when quality of macOS really plummeted, with laughable security issues every other week

If Tim Cook hasn't stepped down over all apple failures he's overseen, he's not going to do it because the new MacBook gets hot.

Ok, fair points. The estimated cost of replacing the trident nuclear deterrent is somewhere north of £25bn so I guess £2bn is "cheap" anyway. I take your point about uncertainty of AI, particularly in light of growing concerns tha

I'm not an aerospace nerd. I think I was once, in my teenage years, but that was a long time ago and I don't know what I'm talking about. Here is my completely unqualified opinion. It seems like manned fighter bomber aircraft

I used to do this in visual studio, it had a task list view that would aggregate all the comments that start with 'TODO'. Since I made the move to VSCode I haven't found anything similar.

Same here, I built a UWP app called flatnote. It's basically just a markdown editor with a directory tree. Everything is stored in Dropbox and I have a mobile app which does the same. I built it when OneNote had a week long outage on W

I still wouldn't provide that data for two reasons. Firstly, all the assurances in the world aren't going to convince me that there's no risk in transmitting my location to a random computer in the cloud. I'm not going t

Well put. Lately it feels like "open source" it's used more often as a buzz word to use when trying to market a product rather than a philosophy to be followed.

I drive but I never use navigation as the handful of times I have I've found it distracting and it's led me astray a couple of times. I prefer to just look at a map. Often that nap is on the phone, but I don't need it to tell

It's possible. There is a keyboard you can buy like this, and one of razers laptops had an OLED numeric keypad I think. But they won't do this.

When I'm wearing my cynic hat, the touch bar is the beginning of a plot to replace our physical keys with another screen with an image of keys. The 2030 MacBook will basically be two iPads taped together

Maybe I'm a backwards person but I barely use escape at all. I do however use the function keys, all day, every day. I have them mapped to various apps for screengrabbing, batch copy and paste of files, rename etc. Apps like keymaestro

When I started reading this article I thought it was a work of fiction, imagining a world in which there's a CO2 shortage rather than the famous over abundance which we're currently all aware of. It's odd and sad that there i
