The closest thing I can think of is spaghetti squash (do a web search and look at photos), which when you cut it in half, you create "spaghetti" by scraping out the insides with a fork. A viable pasta alternative if you're tr

I'd like to disagree with you there, because of this one data point ;-). I worked on an application where I knew just enough to make spot changes, while the other developer who had made the most core changes continued on with the core.

I paid for Evernote when it had the silver/mid tier, and it was about $35/yr. Then they got rid of that tier, and now it's $80/yr. for Personal. So I switched over to Joplin[1]. -- [1] https://joplinapp.org&#x

I use a third-party Twitter client TweetBot on both iOS and MacOS, and all I see are the folks I follow and any retweets they do. And that's it. No suggested tweets to rile and inflame and engage me. I only see what I want to see. And

Seriously, why should I donate when they're moving the "excess" money outside the organization? _They don't need it._ Perhaps if there's some low water mark that they can set for funds under which they can start ask

Age of Empires II, in its various incarnations, available on Steam. They start out at the level of the first expansion, The Conquerors, which really helped game play. Hits that sweet spot, IMHO, of battle + resource management without going

Was a Keep fan until I got a few thousand notes into it, and now my iOS start time is on the order of 10 seconds or so before I can type anything. Mostly use it in iOS with the Share functionality, then use the browser version otherwise. No

If you ever read John Scalzi's story on how he got to where he is (mid-list author??), he frequently says that he got lucky. He posted his _Old Man's War_ story on his blog, and an editor saw it and threw money at him. By the time

That's why I always start each day with a Good Morning to my co-workers, asking them how they are doing, etc., so I can get all the pleasantries out of the way for when there's something that needs prompt attention, like, say, a P

I'll second the vote for Sable. No violence. A youth on a journey, with unique graphics (debugged since the initial release). A story to uncover. Not the largest open world, and it'll take 20+ hours if you complete all the tasks.

ECCO Pro PIM/Outliner. I kept so much info on that app. Got a little tired of double-clicking to expand/collapse outline levels, tho. Switched over to OmniOutliner until I missed an upgrade.

I'll echo that sentiment. After my 2015 MBP dies or is no longer supported, I'll finish my move to Linux. Biggest motivation is the need to run Linux VMs in x86 without having the hypervisor translate M1. Tried org-mode, couldn&#x

Regarding dress codes, I worked at a three-letter company in the 90s that changed their dress code to allow us to wear shorts, as long as they were "tasteful." And that worked well at the start. But then a couple of the rebels, wh

My favorite trick to watch is during a Time Machine backup it stops because the (attached) backup drive ran out of space. I thought it was supposed to clear out space as needed. Perhaps not.
