Want to add as a quote to Goodreads the aphorism by Alan Perlis that ‘it’s better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure…’ but it’s been added (with incorrect attribution) and you can’t have identically worded quotes. Because I guess Amazon is low on disk space?
Ugh. Just saw the news about Linode’s acquisition by Akamai.
The biggest surprise after switching from Google Workspace to Fastmail is the sheer volume of fake LinkedIn e-mails that Google was not evening let get to my spam box.
It’d be nice if, in Safari, clicking the back button would skip you back over any page that merely redirected you to the page you’re on when you click the back button.
I wish all of the NYT word games were available through the iOS app.
Trying to work out if it’s a bug that Apple Mail will send an e-mail that doesn’t have any formatting as plain text regardless of whether you’ve said to send it as HTML.
I’m not sure this is going to stick but I just configured Karabiner to recognise the HJKL keys as arrow keys when I hold down the WINDOWS key on my Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard.
The answer to the clue ‘ceaselessly’ in Friday’s New York Times Daily Mini is ONEND?
Wondering if it would it be better for legislatures to require sideloading be permitted or require that web apps be able to send notifications.
A delightful thing about switching from Gmail to Fastmail was the realisation I can use iOS Mail’s push functionality again! Fastmail’s iOS app is unfortunately one of those web-app-in-a-native-wrapper kind of apps but that’s not a problem if you can just use Mail.
Fastmail is pretty good in comparison to Gmail. So far the biggest niggles:
They’re doing something funky with their web app such that SPACE doesn’t smoothly scroll in Safari on macOS.
I can’t use Mimestream :(
Have realised that because I have numerous e-mail aliases on my current domain, iCloud+‘s custom domain feature isn’t going to cut it. I probably will switch to Fastmail in that case.
Is there really no better way to tell @applemusic that the song ‘Standing Tall’ is incorrectly associated with the French band Phoenix than making a request using the Apple Music feedback page?
After listening to @martinfeld talk on Hemispheric Views about how surprisingly good Xbox Cloud Gaming is on the iPad, I checked it out and he’s 100% correct. How is this possible when it’s running in a Safari web view?
OK. I’ve given up trying to transfer e-mails from my Gmail to my iCloud by dragging and dropping. Let’s give imapsync a go.
On the off chance this is useful for anyone else, if you want to put a downloaded Zig bundle into a central location (like /usr/local/), you need to copy everything in the bundle, not just the zig binary. I stuck mine in/usr/local/zig/.
