3/11/2023 0 Comments Missive for mac![]() ![]() If we decide to stop using it, we can just stop using it and go back. This isn’t some whole new system - it’s essentially just a wrapper on top of Gmail. What’s really given me the confidence to switch is that it’s really easy to switch back to Gmail if we want. Great app support: it works on the web, but has apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android.Solid keyboard shortcuts: they have their own, but can also pull in the standard Gmail shortcuts.Multiple appearance modes: light mode, dark mode, some inbetween.If I’m going to use Missive full-time, it needs to do a great job with the other 90% of my work as well – reading, writing, forwarding, archiving, deleting, etc. It still needs to be a great email clientĪt the end of the day, though, the stuff I mentioned above accounts for perhaps 10% of the emails I receive. The concern we all have when writing private emails inside of larger threads is mistakenly leaving the client on an email when we shouldn’t have. The real key to all of this is the separation of emails and comments, which it handles well. They can even send it on your behalf, with a warning message from Missive reminding them that they’re sending as someone else. As you saw in the video above, you can have teammates add attachments to your email and help you put it together. I can even give access to drafts that I’m writing, and others can edit the drafts in real-time, similar to how Google Docs work. The full email will pop into her inbox (along with my comment), she can simply leave a comment back saying “yes it is”, and I can write up my response to the client. I can write a comment like is this an easy fix?”. This has been super helpful for times when a client emails me with a question I don’t know. Perhaps the most impressive thing is that if I tag a teammate in a comment, the entire email shows up in their inbox (including my comment), even if I was the only one that it was originally sent to! It’s not unlike replying to her email privately (and leaving the original sender out of the loop), but it’s SO much easier to do. Back to the inboxīetter yet, if Ali were to archive an email and then I commented about it, Missive pulls the email back to her inbox so that she sees the comment. ![]() In our inbox, just below the email itself, I can leave her a comment and we’re done. We can do that via Slack or Text, and that’s fine, but with Missive we can do it inline with the email. We aren’t using all of the features that it has, and we likely never will, but there is really one key feature that is killer - comments! It’s weird to think of comments in the area of email, but the way Missive handles it is brilliant.Īs an example, if Ali and I both receive an email from someone, we generally need to discuss who is handling it. ![]()

3/10/2023 0 Comments The gospel according to biff![]() ![]() Needless to say I LOL’d at least once every five pages, and now my parents think I’m even more of a blasphemer than before. I heartily enjoyed this Biblical satire, as well as Moore’s writing style and general sense of humour. I was expecting the same from this one, but it is actually well researched, and even poignant at times. ![]() I had previously read Christopher Moore’s The Stupidest Angel, which still stands as the most ridiculous book I’ve ever read, complete with zombies making trips to Ikea and people murdering mall Santas. I feel like I would have enjoyed reading the Bible if it was more like this – hilarious and ridiculous. I decided to buy and read this book because it is Christmas after all (despite my generally dislike of it) and what’s Christmas without a little Jesus? (Or as this book labels him, Joshua). ![]() “Blessed are the dumbfucks for they, uh – I don’t know – they shall never be disappointed.” Blessed are the peacemakers, the mourners, and that’s it…We need one more. “Well then, cut the whiners and give the earth to the meek.” “Can’t you give the earth to the whiners?” Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. “Let’s see, uh here: Blessed are the meek, for to them we shall say, ‘attaboy.”” Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. “We’ve got it: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness blessed are the poor in spirit, the pure in heart, the whiners, the meek, the – “ ![]() 3/10/2023 0 Comments Broken ranks sheed![]() ![]() Arcane WatersĪrcane Waters is drawing pirates and sparkling 16-bit-style pixel art to create a unique art collection. There are transformations and morphing past the movie’s creator screen, and ignoring your concepts and understandings of real life. If you landed on this prehistoric mythical world, you could start with a game of the king. In that MMO, you can mix and match animals in order to draw your own crazy character: if you are an animal or an egg girl, you might not be born a dragon or a jellyfish girl. ChimeralandĪ cave without a rocker eaves beneath, or another cave with a ledge, is a cave that looks like an adventure. This browser game is orientated towards the Old School RuneScape, but still look familiar to that game. If you’re allergic to grimdark (and I wouldn’t blame you) then sneeze yourself atop Eterspire, a cheery, colorful and utterly non-offensive MMO. This is just for PC, so is portable and Mac available soon. If you want to know a grimdark experience, that’s more of a bloody and gritty game. This multi-purpose MMO takes you through a story-rich world, unique classes like Voodoo and Sheed and a great fantasy world.

You know, the underrated, unknown and underappreciated titles offer the same advice for those who want to get into their wilds.

The increase may be larger if the encoded data is small. This means that the Base64 version of a string or file will be at most 133% the size of its source (a ~33% increase). So, three 8-bits bytes of the input string/binary file (3×8 bits = 24 bits) can be represented by four 6-bit Base64 digits (4×6 = 24 bits). Encoded size increaseĮach Base64 digit represents exactly 6 bits of data. Base64 encoding schemes are commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that are designed to. For more details, see the documentation for btoa(). The encoding script runs in your browser, and none of your credentials are seen or stored by this site. Note that btoa() expects to be passed binary data, and will throw an exception if the given string contains any characters whose UTF-16 representation occupies more than one byte. ![]() The algorithm used by atob() and btoa() is specified in RFC 4648, section 4. atob(): decodes a base64 encoded string("atob" should be read as "ASCII to binary"). ![]()

Furthermore, the phrase "virtus post nummos" is not put into his own mouth, but in the mouth of Janus, whose temple was the hang-out of the money-lenders. 'O citizens, citizens, money must be sought first, virtue after money.' This is what Janus teaches from top to bottom young and old men alike sing back these things after they have been dictated." The lesson "virtus post nummos" clearly contrasts with what Horace says in two lines above, i.e. "silver is worth less than gold gold is worth less than virtue (another way of translating would be gold is dearer than silver and virtue dearer than gold). ![]() 'O cives, cives, quaerenda pecunia primum est, virtus post nummos.' haec Ianus summus ab imo prodocet, haec recinunt iuvenes dictata senesque. The lines surrounding this passage (52-55) go thus (please excuse my not separating the lines): vilius argentum est auro, virtutibus aurum. I think we have our work cut out for us, trying to see what place money and virtue should play in our lives, and whether we can agree that one of them is more important than the other.ĭear oudeis oudamou, I accidentally happened upon your sight and must say that as someone writing on the Epistles of Horace I was intrigued by your interpretation of the phrase "virtus post nummos" in 1.1.54 and I wanted to ask if you took the larger context of the poem into account when thinking through your interpretation. “But what about a life that lacks the moral virtues?” Yes, let’s look at that life too. Is it a livable life and life we’d care to live? We should look at a life that does not know how to make money and see what happens to it. He says only one set of skills is more important, which is not the same thing. Notice he doesn’t say that one set of skills is essential to a good life and the other isn’t. Does Horace imply that he’s doomed to a bad life?” He does not say that either. “But suppose someone is very bad at money making. He says only that money making is more important in our lives than virtue. Horace never implies that money is the most important thing or something to be pursued for its own sake. We may pursue money to support our art or our family responsibilities or our recreations or whatever we place at the center of our life. We look in vain for the line omnia vincit pecunia in his letters and odes. Certainly Horace never says that money is THE thing. And neither, I think, does Horace the poet. “So is Horace claiming that money making should be the most important thing in our lives, because I don’t accept that.” And neither do I. As a first approximation we take Horace’s view to be that we gain much more and more important things with the money making arts. We can looking at what we gain by being good money makers, then what we gain by being good at the moral virtues, and finally compare them. That’s still not very clear, but perhaps it give us a way to start. Horace is saying the gains from the first will be much more important and substantial than anything we get from the second. If we become good at the moral virtues, here’s what we can do and accomplish. If we become good money makers, here’s what we can acquire in our life and accomplish. So how do evaluate the claim that one set of skills, aimed at money making, is more important than another set of skills, aimed at acting justly and kindly and generously? Well, perhaps we could look at what each set of kills is likely to achieve by itself when practiced well. No, I think we should intrepret Horace as commending the arts of pursuing money as the foundation for virtually any kind of life. That money making is more important only if you wealth above other things. But I don’t think that assumption was behind Horace’s recommendation. Many of you will probably think at this point, why does this even need to be argued? If we aspire to wealth, then the arts of money making are central and crucial. More important for acquiring the kind of life we desire and aspire to. How would we go about examining such a claim as this? And what exactly is Horace saying? That one group of skills is more important than another? More important for what? But we have one easy answer to that question. But its value is inferior to the skills that acquire wealth and what wealth can buy. On the contrary, he implies that it does have value. Notice that Horace isn’t saying that virtue, or least the reputation for it, is worthless. The former skills, he was saying, come first and take pride of place over the latter. By virtue he meant the moral virtues such as justice and kindness and generosity. By money he meant the arts of money making. And he wasn’t comparing apples and oranges. O cives, quaerenda pecunia primum est, virtus post nummos. Horace wasn’t kidding when he exhorted his fellow citizens to pursue money first and virtue second. ![]() 3/9/2023 0 Comments Disco zoo patterns moon![]() ![]() ![]() In automata theory, the set of all palindromes over an alphabet is a language that is context-free, but not regular.Ī Sator square (in SATOR-form), on a wall in the medieval fortress town of Oppède-le-Vieux, France Palindrome are also found in music (the table canon and crab canon) and biological structures (most genomes include palindromic gene sequences).
