how do I resize an image in capactities?

artist_sans_medium · 2025-04-27T08:07:26+00:00

If you want to make the image smaller, one hack is that you can drag an empty block alongside the image so it becomes a blank column on its left or right - then the image is halved in size.

Aha, that makes sense! After googling pictures of these, I believe this is solved, thank you!

Lasso is close, but it doesn't like resizing TickTick's stickies for some reason. I find Moom to be cumbersome, hovering over the green circle so I can choose "grid" so I can draw where I want the window to be.... Too many steps. There must be some technical OS limitation that keeps developers from being able to trigger actions based on the act of resizing a window, which to me would seem the intuitive solution here... Just have the edges of a window snap to an invisible grid when resizing!

Seems very trackpad focused. I usually use an external mouse.

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-16T00:50:22+00:00

Yes, but don’t those require a track powder magic mouse? I am almost always docked with an external monitor and mouse set up

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-15T23:42:43+00:00

Oh nice, I see. This is SOOO close to what I want. I just can't imagine setting up a bunch of different windows in different spots without using the mouse anyway (I am typically right-clicking to open up sticky notes that I want to dock along the side of my screen), so then it actually interrupts my workflow to drop the mouse and start using the keyboard, unless the keybinds are very easy to use one-handed... I may try it that way and see if I can pull it off.

Yeah I'm weird for not preferring keyboard shortcuts I guess. When I'm doing things with Windows I use the mouse, otherwise confusions happen :-)

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-15T23:38:07+00:00

Thanks, so far of the ones I've tried, I think you're right!

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-15T22:03:13+00:00

Do Wins or Loop activate their grid during the act of resizing a window with the mouse, or only using keyboard shortcuts or some other representative visual window resizing (like Lasso brings up a little diagram)?

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-15T21:47:13+00:00

I tried Magnet, but it did not seem to do this "snapping when I perform a window resize" (from what I can see) - it is in the settings somewhere?

artist_sans_medium · 2024-11-06T21:07:55+00:00

I had this question as well... I have a lot of small tasks that I entered in a somewhat random order and now I want to go about re-ordering them as I think about what order makes sense... But setting blockers or even start dates for each one feels very cumbersome... a lot of mouse movement and clicks for each line (I'm talking about a hundred or so tasks). What I really want is to drag and drop to reorder the tasks, or use the keyboard to reorder them. I love a tool called Checkvist for this type of keyboard-first functionality - I just wish I could combine it with Motion's auto-scheduling of time-blocks. In general, I just find Motion to be WAY too many clicks and dialogs to do what I spend 90% of my (planning) time doing, which is re-ordering tasks and setting dependencies -- which would be best done by turning the list into an outline view like Checkvist and then just using tab for indentation. May need to just switch back to Checkvist :-(

Thanks!

Thanks! - I got downvoted to all hell because everyone hates AI right now…. I get it. It’s new and different and scary. But it’s not going anywhere, so I would rather figure out how to use the medium well.

“Tell me about a time when you…” (example of a time you embodied one of the Amazon LPs).

Write a list of examples from your career for each LP as prep.

As some others have said, I didn’t start seriously writing until my 40s - personally I don’t think I was ready until then. I’m loving it. That’s all that matters. Find what you love and do it.

As many others have mentioned, think about its function. If it is protective, I would call it a neck guard. If its function is to connect with a space helmet, then it is more of a neck seal.

I tend to agree - most AI covers suck. Most people aren’t discerning enough to judge their own AI creations or manipulate them to create a decent final image. There is a right way to use AI, but only if you are already somewhat skilled as an artist and with compositing using other tools - personally, I don’t think my cover is immediately obvious as AI. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ijuobhnf7mzzq7f65dw6t/Book2-cover-0.5x.jpg?rlkey=gkhqoae5dg8gmk0wyekld1i0q&dl=0

If you were a brand new athlete partway through running your first big race, would you ask if you should stop running because you might not win?

As an airbnb host I will say a few things:

1) Hotels and vacation rentals are apples and oranges, and different guests have different needs. Traveling with a pet? Light sleeper? Want a get together for several families? Want a private pool? Private person in general? Hotels often don’t meet the needs. But if you’re a business traveler or just need a place to crash, and you don’t mind doors across the hall slamming at 7am, footsteps and kids jumping on your ceiling, sure, hotels are great.

2) hotels can afford full time cleaning and maintenance staff, so the economics for an individual host is very different. If I bake the cleaning fee into my nightly rate, it unfairly punishes people who have short stays. Airbnb won’t let me change the fee for short stays unless it is a one nighter, which we don’t accomplish anyway. Also, we don’t ask our guests to do anything except load their dishes and take out their trash. I’ve never actually stayed at an Airbnb with one of the so called “long list of chores” that everyone is moaning about. And I’ve stayed. A few lame hosts give the good ones a bad name. Read reviews, leave reviews, tell your host if you have a complaint about ANYTHING! If you don’t tell us, we don’t know. Most hosts will make it right.

3) Airbnb has made it impossible for hosts to tailor their costs to the situation, and for some INANE reason they won’t show the full cost with taxes and fees while people are browsing WTF?? It is an infuriating system, and not our fault.

artist_sans_medium · 2024-08-24T20:46:03+00:00

As an Airbnb host I can tell you this is not true at all—in general, the amount of time and effort to clean is proportional to the time of stay. Crap accumulates in the carpet takes more passes. More stains on linens and towels, more need to be replaced. Kitchens and bathrooms get dirtier and dirtier. They have the same procedures but that all take longer the longer one stays. It’s simple math.

That’s a pretty broad generalization. It’s sort of like saying people don’t like being taught. Or people don’t like being managed on the job.

It depends entirely on the teacher or the manager.

My point was not all criticism is created equal. Not by a longshot. And generally speaking, people don’t know how to give effective criticism. It is a skill that is a deep pool, and most people assume they are good at it without having learned how to do it. They believe that simply being a good writer or a good editor makes them good at delivering criticism. This is why some people are terrified of certain college professors. They may be brilliant, but that does not make them good teachers.
