I often manually switch to the built-in mic of my MBP [edit: while using Airpods for audio output]. To switch more quickly, I found that when you alt-click on "Sound" while in the Control Center, you can select audio devices for input and output independently of each other.

These are only there to help blind people cross the road. They have no influence at all on how fast the pedestrian light will turn green [1].

Yup. If it works, it ain't stupid.

> You do need to explicitly specify the other branch when merging or rebasing or making a pull request (like git rebase main), because git doesn’t know what branch you think your offshoot is based on.

I think a big issue with the presented intuition is that it's limited to wanting to merge the base/trunk/main branch into your feature branch. However, sometimes you want to merge a feature branch into another feature branch. With this in mind, you can form a better intuition, imo, where it's absolutely clear that you have to specify what branch you want to merge into another one.

It seems to me like this is only happening to articles from bigger publications. Perhaps because these publications have Medium monetization options turned on and this paywall is suddenly applied to all monetized publications as a "new feature"? Terrible, really.

There is an excellent TED talk on the relationship between self-worth and procrastination that also, like you, makes a point about separating "me and my work" [1].

Watching this about a year ago was eye opening to me and I wished I'd found this video when I started studying in college!

Something related I came to know only recently is that it has been shown to be more effective to floss before brushing teeth. I have been doing it the other way around my entire life.

Well maybe the article was written using ChatGPT.

Good point, thanks.

Similar resource for zle which is used by zsh instead of readline [1].

You can do that with Chrome dev tools: Network -> No throttling -> Offline

Don't know how reliable this is though or whether a web developer could work around this.

With uBlock

Other customers also brew-installed: fuck [1]

My basic understanding

- Untracked: Files that Git doesn't know about.

- Tracked: Files that Git knows about. Further divided into unstaged files (will not be part of the next commit) and staged files (will be part of the next commit).

What helped me here was to know that it's possible to track a (yet untracked) file without staging it:

  git add --intent-to-add <path>

For userstyles, you can do that with uBlock's custom filters [1] [2]

Same thing for public transport in metro areas (great if you’re looking for a new place to live): https://www.mapnificent.net/

Details please

You can also easily stitch something like that together yourself.

After `brew install pngpaste tesseract` (the latter is a dependency of the great OCRmyPDF tool btw), you can set `alias ocr="pngpaste - | tesseract -c debug_file=/dev/null stdin stdout | pbcopy; pbpaste"`.

I like having this alias better than macOCR because the workflow feels more ergonomic: You first cmd + shift + 4 to select text and then type `ocr` with the result being printed to stdout and being saved in your clipboard. With macOCR I have to go to the terminal first to initiate the process, then go back to what I want to screenshot etc.

Also discovered this by accident recently. I have 200+ playlists and this type of search is the most reliable way of finding a saved or self-created playlist by name (looking at you "normal" Spotify search that always shows others' public playlists of the same name first).

Funny enough it's not documented, so let's see how long it will stick around for: https://support.spotify.com/kr-en/article/keyboard-shortcuts...

Ok, fair enough, it's a misunderstanding based on terminology

I realize that. I was replying to the parent comment that claims that it has always been like this which is not true.

No words on this in the document unfortunately

That's not true. Before, crypto currencies used for staking and lending were only exempt after at least 10 years of holding. This has changed now.

I think the accuracy doesn't even matter too much. Personally, I believe I base my decision to watch the video after clicking on it on the ballpark the like/dislike ratio is in. "Almost only likes", "2/3 likes", "50/50 likes/dislikes", ... For that purpose, the extension does its job.

You can at least solve the problem of not seeing dislikes anymore with a browser extension, e.g. "Return YouTube Dislike".

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/return-youtube-dis... (also available for Firefox, Edge, ..)

Of course, it doesn't solve the recommendation issue the thread creator mentioned.
