Somewhat standard ones: Copy / paste Alt + Tab Control + Shift left arrow : control + left to delete the whole word.

On a Mac, I frequently use Spotlight- simple math, finding files, launching apps. (Yes, I’m familiar with Alfred…but I’m frequently switching computers and having something already installed is great).

Is this worth the $15?

Well-written article. I was surprised when I found I’d read all the way through.

Excellent, excellent post. I read l the way to the end- and I’m not a front end developer. The author throws in great examples as he walks you through his performance journey. And the site? It is damn fast.

Interesting article. Several significant, long-term studies are brought up. Calif. spends much more per homeless person that most other countries, but has dramatically worse results. Homelessness has risen 30% in calif, while other states have reduced their homeless populations. Interesting, striking differences.

Seafarer notes he signed a paper that binds him to the ship. It was blocked in the port due to safety mechanisms. Everyone left, and it seems he is stuck holding the bag.

"to turn unauthorized commercial streaming of copyrighted material like an album on YouTube, a video clip on Twitch, or a song in an Instagram story into a felony offense with a possible prison sentence rather than a misdemeanor..."

Hi Jake, congrats on the launch.

I went to sign up for your newsletter, but the firm required too much PII- for example, last name, birthday.

Hi Jake! Congrats on the launch. I went to sign up for your newsletter, but it required more PII than I was willing to share. Is there a reason you need my birthday and last name?

I made it to 1:48, and it seemed like a basic video editing app up to that point.

A comment on the video, not the app: in the first 30 seconds, give me a fast demo of the best part! Hi, I’m X. You can edit audio incredibly fast with Studio Cinematic. Take this: <audio playing in app> “When I, uh, saw the other people and uh, I didn’t know how I would find my friend...” And make this: <audio playing in app> “When I saw the other people, I didn’t know how I would find my friend.”

Etc.

Also, the audio playing in the background was pretty loud- when you began speaking in the ducking example, the background music didn’t seem to duck quickly enough. Good luck!

I’ve been a big fan of Namesilo. They seem serious, suggest secure practices, and recommend domains are locked with them. Unsure what happens when push comes to shove.

Does anyone have tips for blocking content like this on Instagram? There seem to be limited content controls on Instagram.

This is why I read the comments to articles first. Thanks, @fraqed for adding important context!

It would be cool to offer more icons, or let people search for icons based on word.

Some background for those who may not be familiar with escrow services: Taxes and financial obligations are simplified if a company only holds their own money.

Simple example: A consignment store owns no products and allows people to offer their items for sale. They charge 20% of the sale price. Option 1: The store accepts the customer's payment of $100, then gives the product owner $80. Pro: simple Con: the store needs to prove how the money was handled and also prove it was given to the seller.

Option 2 with escrow: Customer pays Stripe/escrow service. The escrow service splits the payment and gives 20% to the store and 80% to the customer. Con: more complicated. Pro: the store does not need to disclose the money they did not touch on their taxes (correct?) and liability is decreased because they never held the seller's money.

Stripe Connect [1] offers this (not the standard Stripe account). In my research, PayPal was integrated into more services (I was interested in integrating with WooCommerce), had been around longer and offered several options under their adaptive payments option. PayPal requires a pre-approval process, and talking to a WooCommerce developer, they noted that companies who are very new may have trouble getting approved. WePay was another option I looked into, and they noted an approval in "minutes", but their API seemed to be very manual and did not integrate with WooCommerce for escrow/ marketplace payments.

The $2/mo BuyVM reseller plan offers 20GB storage, reasonably fast response times and a full cpanel. You can host a bunch of websites each with their own site, email, logins, etc. It is nice to create a new site for a friend if they need one, but leave the management to someone else if there is server trouble.

If you like to tinker and your website doesn't require massive uptime and you have a very small amount of traffic, you might look into LowEndCat[2]

[1] www.buyvm.com [2] www.lowendcat.com or search for low end Spirit, which are budget-focused tiny VPS servers for $3/year. I found one that is 16 cents a month. Great uptime and I don't need anything more than 64 MB. ;)

I was surprised to find a Wordpress site with average MySQL usage and 1gb of traffic per month is $1.34 a month, $15 a year.

No option to unlock pixels without a facebook authentication?

This allows you to paste in a link and discuss the website, as well as gather materials for research.

I'd like the ability to join many others who are learning the same thing. I think we need a method of referring to sub-topics so others can join in on the conversation. So many answers and information is stuck in forums with a generic thread title. Information will only grow- how can we better self-categorize the content we create so others can find it?
