FTA: For security reasons, the suggested stubs are limited to only a small subset of manually selected packages that have been verified by the typeshed team. These packages include only stub files and no executable code.


Yes but the article doesn't list them. You are encouraging people to type in 'pip install types-aiohttp' if they want types for that library, and took no step to ensure that won't be malicious.

Get the coordinates of a place

    On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
    Touch and hold an area of the map that isn't labeled. You'll see a red pin appear.
    You'll see the coordinates in the search box at the top.


Wow, that's in the official docs? I do this all the time, but I always thought of it as a janky workaround.


If you want to be amazed on what can make it into official docs, I present to you the One Note doc page for Find and Replace [0]:

    In OneNote, you can use instant search to find specific text, and then replace it with different text using a keyboard shortcut.

    On a blank page, type the replacement text that you want to use. For example, if you’re trying to update a project name in your notes, type the new project name.

    Select the text you just typed, and then press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.

    Press Ctrl+E to expand the search box in the top right corner of the OneNote window.

    In the search box, type the text you want to find.

    At the bottom of the results list, click Pin Search Results, or press Alt+O.

    In the Search Results pane on the right side of your window, click the first search result (a text link next to a white page icon) to jump to the page where OneNote has highlighted the text it has found.

    On the page, double-click each highlighted occurrence of the text, and then press Ctrl+V to paste your replacement text over it.

    Repeat steps 6-7 for each additional page in the search results list.

Couldn't the Notepad devs visit the One Note ones and tell them about Ctrl-H? :-))


You see, Microsoft makes secure products, that's why they are not allowed to see each other.


Ahaha, it could be a good premise for retelling «Romeo and Juliet» for modern IT crowd)


Hey, OneNote is supposed to be a stable product, you can't expect them to just go and import some random feature from a bleeding-edge experiment like Notepad!


Almost all new legitimate uses of a GUI those days look like a workaround. Why is Edge and Chrome and Word and... stealing my windows titlebar ? Why can i not access the favorites menu with one click as it used to be ? Why do i need a big label which uses 30 % of the screen and does nothing ? Why everything looks like a label ?


What's interesting to me, is that those that shape the platform guidelines (Google/Android, MS/Win, don't have apple so can't say) often are the worst offenders to completely disregard them.

Just as an example, I've turned off auto updates on my phone and inspect each app update individually, but the google apps often just say "bug fixes and performance improvements".

When that's the case, such general guidelines become useless. "If they don't follow them, then why should we?"



They don't really mean anything on desktop anymore seen as only a small minority of MacOS apps are built using those frameworks. Everything else is either Electron or custom cross platform UI frameworks like Adobe Suite, Alberton, Cinema4D etc.


The HIG is just as applicable if you use Electron, even it might take more work to follow the guidelines if you don't use the system-provided widgets.

That some choose to ignore the HIG and use the same GUI on multiple platforms is a problem, but it's not a problem that any guidelines can solve.

The search company makes money when you search to find things, not when you find things in your bookmarks.


How do I copy them in the clipboard?


long-touch it, "copy". Was looking for a "copy to clipboard button" but saw none.


The irony is if OP had only used Google Map's parent product …


url doesn't work (Forbidden, You do not have permission to access the requested address (URL)).

In any case, I think the book parent is referring to: http://www.amazon.com/Common-LISP-Introduction-Computation-E...


Maybe on your side. Not here. Works fine. The book is for download from there.


Read all that and I still have no clue what the author is making now.


She chickened out. But it's hard.


Yes it's hard, but if she can't do it she should not say anything, and spare the reader the pain of going through all her hesitations and second thoughts and whatnot. This is cheating.


Its probably a Wired policy to not disclose your salary.


Which is a situation where getting fired for breaking policy is going to be more profitable than keeping your job.


Yeah! The article kind of loses it's punch when you realize this

pentadactyl http://5digits.org/nightlies

greasemonkey http://www.greasespot.net/

pentadactyl has a bit of learning curve to use it well. But after having using it for many years, it is the only addon that is keeping me away from chrome. No other vim style addon for chrome or firefox has come close, for me.



yes, it's the easiest way if no one else is doing the same thing.

But if there are a bunch of websites like these, which do the same thing and no one ever receives as no communication any time soon, no one's going to believe this has better chances than other.

At which point it's just a pain in the neck to signup for these.


if you like vimium, you should be swooning over what pentadactyl can do


thank you also :)


can someone verify user id davidsegal?


I can. It's the same David Segal that's a signatory to the letter.


can someone verify user id sethbannon?


since the author himself has asked for downvoting/flagging, please consider doing it.


Why? I think he makes good points. If you submit a good argument, article, etc., it should get upvoted to make it more visible to other users.
