This is a known bug. There are form links elsewhere in these comments.

The “Submit” link just takes me to the Tally home page. I wonder if the link is broken of if they exceeded a limit.
comment
To that end I recently wrote about several modern ways to convert handwritten notes to searchable notes. I primarily write handwritten notes because of the mental benefits of doing so. https:/&#…

One thing that's worked for me is jotting down stray thoughts in a tiny pocket notebook or in a note app. I just finished writing a full post about that process. https://notes.joeldare…
comment
I take notes for two main reasons. First, to improve memory—research shows that handwritten notes aid in memory, learning, and retention. Second, notes serve as a helpful guide for tasks I don’t frequ…

I actually just wrote a few posts about this that you might find interesting. [Handwritten Notes on the Amazon Fire Max 11]( https://notes.joeldare.com/notes-on-the-amazon-fire-max-11 )…

I didn’t try it but am surprised it’s using a DB. I thought it would be… plain-text.
comment
Huzzah! Neat CSS made your list. I created that and use it for all my projects (to indirectly answer the other reply to your comment). Last week I started a new site about strategies I use for my prol…
comment
This is interesting... I have 66 repositories picked up and put in The Stack. I spot-checked the first 10. All 10 are Public on GitHub. 8 of the 10 do not have a license of any type, meaning they are …

I'm still writing blog posts in 2024 and recently decided to start publishing about how I take notes. I take a lot of notes and I've spent a lot of time thinking about systems and strategies…
comment
I’ve written and self published a few small books, including Publish Your eBook. Maybe we should create an author collaborative where we make our books available to libraries either free or at a more …
comment
That sounds interesting, do you have a link? Is that because of an accusation of using a reference, or copying a reference too closely, or something like being sued for using their own work?
comment
I wonder if metal tape, used for ducting, would work.
comment
Looks interesting. I don't love the title, subtitle business. I assume it will add yaml content to the top of the post. I'd like to hide that as I don't add yaml to my markdown files. T…

Presumably it would come out of the budget for the new employees own salary. Note: I’m not the original commenter and I have not used this hiring method, but I do have to budget.
comment
Sounds like Chrome isn't their daily driver. Firefox blocks a lot of ads by default in Strict mode. That's what I use, so I haven't used AdBlock for a long time. I also have a Pi-hole o…
comment
I love to read about this type of stuff. Have you blogged about or written about it in more detail here on HN? Edit: I reworded my question because it was a bit vague.
comment
Edit: My guess is Heisenberg and the Uncertainty Principle. I can’t find the answer online either. Sounds like a half German half English word that means something like “my name is subscribe” or maybe…

My taxi driver in Mexico spoke perfect English. I figured he was either American or had lived here. He said he learned the language watching YouTube videos and had never been.

I make a little framework for “stupid simple HTML sites” and use it as a “starter” for most of my own work. https://neat.joeldare.com …
comment
I got the most use out of it on an airplane with no wifi. It let me keep working on a coding solution without the internet because I could ask it quick questions. Magic.
comment
The cited problem was trademark infringement. I had used “jazAwake” as the name and the drive was the Iomega Jaz(tm) Drive. They also mentioned that it might shorten the life of a drive, but that was …

I might be that idiot. But, whatever. I enjoy my failure enough to try again. https://joeldare.com/how-to-lose-money-with-25-years-of-fail... …
comment
I once received a cease-and-desist from my employer, who was a big tech company! I had written a small shareware app called JazAwake. It was designed to stop the Iomega Jaz drive from spinning down ev…
comment
We aren't using a special lens. It works but only within a certain range. The ideal laser focus, on our machine, is only about 3mm from the lens body. The handle posts necessitate moving the lase…
comment
If you have trouble engraving tumblers, I've found a trick that works really well. The tool ensures that the laser maintains consistent focus at both edges of the tumbler resulting in a more unif…
comment
More than ten years ago I self published a small book. Today, I decided to summarize the instructions and post them online. Because a lot of my technical co-workers write, and because they often assu…

If you create collage (cut and paste) art using typography, you might find a tool I created this week useful. It cycles through randomly picked Google Fonts and lets you edit the text. I'm using …
