4 ways stops should be roundabouts, but the US is allergic to them for some reason.
There are 10,000+ roundabouts in the US and the number is growing rapidly. One could argue they may even be overused in certain areas (exhibit: Carmel, Indiana).

A fun trick I do with my web based drawing tools is to save a JSON representation of your document as a comment field inside of a PNG. This way the doc you save is immediately usable as an image but can also be loaded back into the editor. Also means your downloads folder isn’t littered with unintelligible JSON files.

I use Mail.app on macOS as my daily these days, and it’s somehow even worse than this. Especially the search function, which works in even more bizarre ways.
It’s truly amazing that we have seemingly regressed in basic desktop functionality since the early 2000’s.
As an update, I found that some of my issues were due to some bug in FileVault. My Spotlight would seemingly stop working altogether. The only solution was to toggle FileVault off/on.
I am using my mac with an LDAP (AD) user account, so I am possibly in the minority of people here.
If only slow... it has tons of accepted bugs and nobody seems to care.
Yesterday I was using Outlook 365, there was one URL in one of the emails and I needed to find other emails containing it. Trivial and one of main use cases, right.
Put URL in search box, 0 finds (including email I just copy&pasted it from). Mkay, maybe non-alphanumeric chars are messing with some internal regex or similar, stripped those into bare hostname, still 0 finds (when searching all mailboxes, including body).
Maybe its some exchange settings, who knows, who cares. Pissed off fighting such basic tech instead of doing actual work.

Photos app for offline storage is also woefully neglected by Apple. They don't really design it for use with an external drive (you are expected to locate your library on a internal storage or permanently attached storage). The reason is that the photo library constantly gets corrupted on external drives, forcing a long rebuild/repair process.
Often the photos app doesn't even detect the iphone even when plugged in, and it's a serious bug that Apple has neglected for years.
Everything Apple does seems to be designed to drive hardware sales. Why support external drives, when you can be up-sold for larger internal storage (at a huge markup)? The "Photo Library" could simply be a database file with references to photo locations, alas that might confuse Mac/iOS user with "files" vs "photos".

"I just can't see the front of the car".
Oh yeah, this will work out great.
Elon designed it himself, didn't he?

It seems to me that the Cybertruck has less of a blind spot in front of the hood than F-150. The "not seeing the front" is actually hinting at this, it's below the field of vision. The hood angles down agressively vs. huge
Large trucks/SUVs are infamous for poor pedestrian visibility right in front.

Hmm would be curious to know which block lists you have.
I'm only blocking 27 things with most of them being Split.io (for A/B testing I presume) Sprig, Stripe and Sentry.
Those aren't really third-party trackers (even though I am blocking most of them) in the marketing sense..
There's some analytics from Tiktok, Clarity, Reddit and Spotify(??), which make sense to block but don't feel that intrusive if they're tracking inbound referrals.
I don't even see 50 other things that I could be blocking.
Not arguing the point here, just wondering what I'm missing since I try to keep pretty extensive block lists myself.
My count might include additional elements from going through signup flow with their bank connection providers.
My lists are:
- uBlock
- EasyList
- EasyPrivacy
- Online Malicious URL Blocklist
- Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
- uBlock filters – Annoyances
- AdGuard Annoyances filter
- pl: Oficjalne Polskie Filtry
Yeah, if my bank started embedding those on their account page, I would GTFO.
It's always sad to see products that were truly innovative when they came out end up getting neglected and sunset due to large co M&A-based strategic decision-making.
Disclaimer: I'm one of the co-founders of Monarch Money, a (paid) competitor to Mint founded by the original PM on Mint.com. I had written a HackerNews front-pager a couple years ago about why Revenue Model is More Important Than Culture [0], and my co-founder wrote some thoughts about why Mint ended up going this route.
Since this announcement, we've seen an unprecedented influx of "Mint refugees" moving over. I think a lot of Mint folks have felt like the product has been neglected for years, but it was free and they often had years of history in the product. This was kind of a forcing function for them.

I would love to use and pay for your service, but it's inexcusable than a service that charges $100+ / year has so many trackers that uBlock shows 87 elements blocked just in the account signup flow (/signup/connect-spending-account).
A financial info aggregator is the one place where I would appreciate NOT having my data and behavior exfiltrated to third parties.
Is there any reason this would not work on a Mac and iterm2? I get the initial encryption effect, but sadly, no decryption :). I tried different fonts and iterm2 settings to no avail. I guess I could try the ncurses option, but curious to see this not work natively.
Edit: as helpful comments below me explained, you either have to press another key to decrypt, or launch it with the `-a` option.
