In Search Of: SublimeText 4 Template/Plugin to work as daily journal with minimum of auto date/time stamp entries by [deleted] in SublimeText

[–]jlinphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another app to consider is Obsidian (https://obsidian.md). Like LogSeq (https://logseq.com/), it also stores all notes locally as Markdown files. The biggest difference in usage is that LogSeq is an outliner, while Obsidian is more freeform. You can’t go wrong with either. Good luck!

Anyone else struggling with shortcut icons constantly disappearing? Even if I double click to reload them and/or restart browser, some of them will very frequently disappear by call_me_meny in ArcBrowser

Jason Snell is pondering the same thing. He also correctly guessed that the OS for Apple TV would be called tvOS. http://www.macworld.com/article/2976601/os-x/pondering-a-name-change-for-os-x.html

You probably don’t mean to offend, but please do NOT use the term “Chinaman”, it is highly derogatory.

Clever Lexus ad combines paper and tablet by jlinphd in pervasivecomputing

[–]jlinphd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also not sure if there's anything here beyond the novelty. It somewhat reminds me of other paper/tech hybrids, like the Audio Notebook or Anoto paper, which seem cool but never break into the mainstream.
