Also try wearing merino wool socks. It seems counterintuitive to put wool on your sweaty feet, but they're quite comfortable and they help you avoid that "clammy feet" feeling when you are sweating in cotton socks. They also don't develop odor the way that cotton does.


Speaking from personal experience, people react to different SSRIs differently. I took a popular one that had significant side effects without a whole lot of benefit, and so I stopped it and didn't try anything else for 10 years. Then I spoke to a psychiatric nurse practitioner who suggested trying several others until we found something that worked for me. I had (incorrectly) assumed that if you had e.g. sexual side effects from one SSRI, that you'd have them for all. That is not the case.


Nobody should take this as medical advice, but from my own experience, nothing has made a bigger difference in my sleep quality than supplementing with magnesium glycinate. I didn't even start taking it for that purpose - I was taking it for something else and quickly noticed that it made the quality of my sleep significantly better. The only side effect from it is that sometimes I have strange dreams (not nightmares or anything, just odd).

Everyone should check with their doctor, but it's an inexpensive supplement and the effects (if any) show up pretty quickly, so IMO it's worth a shot.


I also loved magical thinking. Even though I haven’t experienced anything close to losing a spouse, it was a wonderful read.


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).
