It strikes me as a little unimaginative to want to improve on smartphone software keyboards but (1) stick with QWERTY, a layout designed to be inefficient, and (2) require multiple taps to enter some letters. It seems like you've invented a way to make smartphone typing even more of a pain than it already is.

I've used dozens of notetaking tools over the years. Some cloud-based, some markdown-based, some flashy apps, some plain-text, some open-source, and some closed-source. My takeaway from years of jumping between them is this: don't use closed-source notetaking software. Just don't do it. Even if your data is in markdown files, on your own computer, you're still probably stuck with proprietary markdown extensions, and at the very least, you're stuck with muscle memory for the app's UI that you'd have to translate to some new system eventually. Startup companies come and go, on a monthly basis. Developers move on to shiny new projects. You can't take that risk, or any other security risks, with your personal notes.


> ... many current and former professional educators have taken it upon themselves to do their own research. Some then wrote books collecting their findings. These books tend to be insta-dismissed as the ravings of crackpot loonies given their alarmist titles and appearances. But they are typically very well written, well researched, and full of primary sources for their claims. So many sources, in fact, that they make for good jumping-off points for more in-depth research.

This sounds like the frustrated research log of someone lacking research skills. An undergrad-level annotated bibliography from someone interested enough to gather sources, but undiscerning enough to tell the good ones from the bad.


> Falk and Wade suggest the scribe incorrectly transcribed two key words

A typo is a typographic error. This is a scribe incorrectly transcribing from one manuscript to another.


Those of us that use Nix don't have the problems you complain about. Just write (or vibe-code) a flake.nix for each project, and you can have arbitrary versions of whatever language (Node, PHP, whatever), arbitrary environment variables, port setups, and whatever else. Add in Direnv and you don't have to do anything but `cd` into your project directory. Then simply add an extra output to create a Docker image for your project.

The idea of paying double digits annually for a service that's basically a weaker version of Nix, and which lacks Linux support, is absurd.


It might not be a new area of inquiry, but the insight seems reasonably novel. If you read the article, it's about how Symbolic Show of Strength (SSS) beliefs are predictors for belief in misinformation. That speaks to something more granular about the psychological mechanisms behind the spread of misinformation. "Repeating known falsehoods is about declaring tribal allegiance" instead speaks to the existence of the phenomenon, more generally.


That's not a flying car, it's just a small airplane. For it to be a car it would need to be able to drive on roads. With, you know, wheels and stuff.


That's a previously unheard-of definition.


Not only is it heard of, it exists, and is also the first line of the Wikipedia article for "flying car".

> A flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a road vehicle and as an aircraft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_car

Often times the ground capability is limited but it means your landing strip doesn't need to be next to your hanger - you can drive it down the road a few miles (usually after folding the wings in).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL-V_Liberty


It's a combination of the definitions for "flying" and "car".


While folks were building improved ls, cat, and so on, and jq for manipulating JSON data, Nushell has been happily doing all this in a consistent way and making it easier, to boot. I'm surprised to see Nushell missing from this list.


Nushell.


I saw that this was on GitHub and I totally thought this was going to lead to a repo of some sort which solves this problem. But no. It was just complaining.
