Prompt-based window snapping. For example, I would describe how windows should snap based on the type of app, the number of windows and more. Example: single terminal window should snap bottom left, second window should snap next to it. Browser window full screen unless other apps are open in which case half screen left. Etc.

Do not see any hard evidence in the article to back up the claim of election interference. Without it, just a great story and nothing more.

Fair enough. I stand corrected.

They seem incapable of saying “I don’t know.”

I am no financial expert but this all feels spot on.

Plan A seems fairly straightforward. 1) Host a TV show similar to the apprentice. 2) Ride down on an escalator. 3) Say whatever comes to mind. 4) Repeat step 3 until elected.

That don’t look like no drone I’ve ever seen.

In my experience it takes much longer than 5m but I also have an old mouse. It forces me to stop using the mouse while charging it. I own a second cheap mouse for this reason alone, to use while it’s charging. With their keyboard I can charge it while continuing to use it, so if they really didn’t want to allow for use while charging, it would seem they’d do the same with the keyboard.

I won’t believe that they’ll fix the dreaded bottom mounted charge port until I see it. Only Apple could get away with such an inexplicably bad design choice for so long.

Yes, I did a search and could not independently confirm. Interesting read, but no idea if it’s real.

Oh, scheduled maintenance? https://status.npmjs.org/

Experiencing same issue, though npm status still shows all green.

This seems like too much of an absolutist stance regarding AI. AI is a tool and as such has both good and bad uses. For example, maybe I have something I feel important to share with the world but I am not a very good writer. If AI can help me express my own ideas more clearly and clean up my grammar, that to me is a great use of AI. On the contrary, letting AI just churn out articles wholesale to me would be an abuse rather than good use. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that also is consistent with Medium’s policy.

I am not able to read the article on my phone because…the page won’t scroll. Maybe I missed something here but def not a better experience.

Very interesting topic but the “light beats” playing in the background made it hard to focus on what he is saying. I wish there were an option for turning off background music.

Interesting idea, but can’t see myself using it. For example, what about one time passcodes sent to my email. Or that one super time sensitive email I’m waiting for? Seems like too much of a broad sword solution for solving the problem of constantly checking your inbox.

Is it just me or is it incredibly odd and unexpected for a decision like this to come so late in the game? Why wait to delay until after so much time and effort has gone into making it happen?

Sorry, but if you’re incompetent (with no potential for improvement), I don’t care how nice you are. You’re gone. Sorry not sorry.

The white noise feature on the iPhone has become my regular companion in allowing for “covering up” unwanted sounds: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/background-sounds-iph...

I find as I get older my sensitivity to specific sounds seems to be increasing. In addition to some already mentioned:

- the sharp beeping sound made by my elevator as it passes every floor. Ironically this apparently is an ADA requirement though most elevators I ride have a much more muted sound which doesn’t bother me. - the beeping sound made by trucks when backing up, esp those that are so loud I can hear it inside my apartment.

One very local anecdote that seems to contradict this: my local Trader Joe’s is nearly always out of Impossible burgers. On many occasions, I have stood in line at the shelf where they are kept, waiting for the person who is unboxing them and supposed to be stocking shelves but basically just handing directly to customers. Maybe not representative of the larger marketplace but at least in that store they are the proverbial hotcakes.
