It was almost life-changing when I figured out how to do that on both my work Macbook and my home Linux machine. As another evil mode user I second what you said

I use a Mac, and it sounds like an interesting feature to have. How to do it?

I use Karabiner https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ and then used one of the Caps lock modifiers in https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/#caps_l...

I wish I could take a class on early film history. It's fascinating to see how people figured out all these techniques, tricks, rules, and conventions in the first few decades of movie-making. It's simply incredible how quickly it developed as an art form so quickly.

What do you mean by the "Gell Mann" test?

The quality of a news source passing a simple test of credibility by presenting an accurate account of a topic the reader is deeply familiar with.

For instance, if you are a Computer Scientist and you find yourself agreeing to a layman explanation of the halting problem while reading a NYTimes article (targeting a general audience) then the article passes the Gell-Mann test.

Not quite mammals but mammal-like reptiles. They're related to mammals but not our direct ancestors, more like aunts and uncles in the evolutionary family tree.

Gilgamesh was written ~2000 years after PIE's theorized origins. It actually lines up well with the Rigveda, one of the oldest surviving Vedic Sanskrit texts.

If you consider a gap of roughly 700 years to be "lining up well", then sure.

But from a more conventional perspective, the epic of Gilgamesh is much, much, much older than the Rigveda.

I believe it was originally written in Sumerian, a language isolate originally found in southern Mesopotamia.

I should check out the Rigveda.

Yep definitely true. I meant that the original author of Gilgamesh would have lived at a time when certain Sanskrit names may have been heard of in Mesopotamia.

Sumerian and the story of Gilgamesh predated Sanskrit.

We have a similar story in one of the older Sanskrit works.

Your link suggests the Indian story is based on the Sumerian or Akkadian. That would be news to me. It’s certainly possible, but in my personal opinion people often go astray with these methods - there’s little reason to believe many examples couldn’t have evolved independently based on similar real world occurrences or common human archetypes.

You should. It is interesting. I've read it.

That was one of their grievances, yes. What's your opinion on the others on the list?

I added my home and work addresses to my phone's dictionary under the shortcuts "hm" and "wrk". In some ways this is even faster since I don't have to rely on the maps UI to insert my address.

This is a big part of it. This sort of improves with practice, but can also decay from lack of use. For me, I've found that regularly putting myself in a position where I talk to people I don't know helps a lot.

Is it still high after factoring in paying for your own insurance and tax?

Really refreshing to see someone say they might do the same thing if the tables were turned. It's easy to judge others shortcomings in what we know, but there's probably plenty of other things that we have our own shortcomings with.

Thanks! There’s a reason large enterprises spend a ton of resources on security while SMBs are vulnerable on just about every public attack surface: priorities.

Well that and expectations. Most small business owners see security as part of the developer’s job. However don’t realise it’s something that needs non-stop attention as websites and technologies in general are affected by erosion. What’s safe today might not be tomorrow. The developer isn’t at fault for that, and yet the website owner refuses to foot the patch bill, or pay for continuous monitoring.

I could write all day about this and we’ve only been in the trenches for a few weeks now :p
