As I understand it, it's really only abusable by people who don't have ADHD. It's a stimulant, similar to cocaine in that way. In people with ADHD, it's calming.


I used VSS in the 90s as well, it was a nightmare when working in a team. As I recall, Microsoft themselves did not use VSS internally, at least not for the majority of things.


That’s correct. Before SD, Microsoft orgs (at least Office and Windows; I assume others too) used an internal tool called SLM (“slime”); Raymond Chen has blogged about it, in passing: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20180122-00/?p=97...


I don’t want Notes to become a Markdown editor. I think that would be confusing for the majority of users. What I would like is for it to understand Markdown syntax and just convert it to the right thing. If I type “# My Note”, it should convert that to note title format. If I type “## Heading” it should convert it to a heading format, and so on.

Most apps do this already, to some extent. If you start a line with a - or an *, the app will convert it to a proper indented list. Heck, even Microsoft’s apps do this. I’m just asking for it to handle a few more things.

How is what you're asking for not making Notes into a Markdown editor? Those are all features that come from Markdown, and the reason "most apps" already handle those, is because they're aiming to support Markdown to at least some extent.


I think the parent's suggesting that they should be "one way" shortcuts; i.e. "# Heading" auto-formatting as a heading is a shortcut, and it doesn't allow you to go back and modify the original markdown.


That's exactly it.


MS Word is not aiming to support Markdown.


I never used Pocket but was a long time user of Instapaper before moving to Readwise Reader. My experience has been that many links, other than the most recent ones, are dead.


I wonder if this is why Fusion 360 is so slow to start. It's by far the slowest app on my relatively modern M1 MacBook Pro.


It's slow on almost everything, so I kinda doubt macOS is to blame.


Never saw a CAD app boot fast... Shapr3D is the best but something as advanced as Fusion or Solidworks has always been slow to open


I’d never heard of Schiele until yesterday when I was reading about an actor on a show I was watching. I’m not really an art buff but his work is quite interesting (if a bit disturbing at times).


He bankrupted a casino. I’m not sure how you even manage to do that.


He bankrupted casinos 6 times. Six. Managed to lose money on a money printing machine.


He's fantastic. I still suck at drywall work, but I suck way less after watching a bunch of his videos.


> The collection’s 75 undeveloped rolls of Kodachrome film likely amount to about 2,700 photos

I wonder how they’re planning on developing that film, since the chemicals to develop Kodachrome haven’t been available since 2010.


The chemicals aren't being made (sold) by Kodak anymore, but the chemicals are known and if you sat down with a chemical engineer you could brew up another batch. It certainly wouldn't be cheap, but it's not impossible.

There've even been some DIY projects to develop some of the film. https://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorspider/48558429727/in/ph...


>the chemicals are known and if you sat down with a chemical engineer you could brew up another batch

Jesse, let's cook.


And even with the chemicals, it's a notoriously convoluted process.

But of course there's always someone who's done it in their garage[1].

Back in 2020, VSCO and Kelly Shane Fuller (same one from [0]) seemed to have figured it out, at least to make a preset. Perhaps if they are willing to put in the effort, they should reach out to them (and not just fall back to developing in B&W).

There’s at least one company that does kodachrome, but not in color: https://processonephoto.com/mail-order-film-processing.htm


I am in no way a “car guy” but I’ve always thought that the early to mid 1980s BMWs were beautiful. I don’t have the kind of budget (or garage space) to own a car that isn’t a daily driver, but if I did I think I’d look for a 1980s 3 or 5 series.


My parents owned them as a kid and I have fond memories of them and a 2002. Sadly my parents would not drive me in a tin can aka a 2002. They are rust buckets and I don’t live in an area with snow.

There some 90s ones I was interested in buying for a Covid hobby but things like cork gaskets and no available parts kept me away. E46s are nice and somewhat easier to maintain and parts are plentiful, however they lack the headlight look of past years.
