I used to use Hipmunk to book flights but they were recently shut down by the giant enterprise software company that bought them a while back. I went to their URL on a whim and was redirected to a statement from the enterprise software company:
"Why is SAP Concur retiring Hipmunk and Concur Hipmunk?
Simply put, our approach to providing integrated T&E management has evolved."
That "simply put" is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Is it just me or does the automatic timezone detection in iOS just not work anymore?

Last three trips I’ve taken I’ve had to set it myself.

I gave up on it a while ago because it turns out traveling this much I have a very specific time during the flight I like to change the timezone, and it was frequently changing it way too late, like hours after I landed.

I even just finished a shot list. 🤯

But it did take almost double the time, hopefully it will cut a large chunk of time out of filming a bunch of random stuff and editing it together.

so curious to hear how this works out! I did find that writing an actual script instead of just bullet points made me say words better and resulted less crap I had to cut out later.

Every foo and bar in technical documentation or slides is a wasted opportunity.

It fails to illustrate WHY what you're talking about is useful, what for, and to get your audience to relate. Nobody relates to foo and bar. People relate to use cases.

fixing reposts

I think the issue that was raised was less about the reposting of the full content and more about how that content was presented in the UI.

When I repost something, I very intentionally designed my reposts so that the post on my site would clearly look like it was written by the original author and not me. Specifically that means things like not having my name or photo anywhere near the content, and instead having the original author’s name and photo in the same place that my own photo would appear on my posts. You can see some examples at https://aaronparecki.com/reposts

Granted I don’t ever show the full text of a blog post I repost, but I do show the full contents of notes, regardless of their length. In practice this means I don’t have many occurrences of large amounts of copied text. If I were to repost a blog post, it would show only the blog post title on my site. It’s debatable whether that’s a “real” repost, but I’m happy with that decision.

In any case, I still think the more important issue here is how the repost is presented rather than whether or not a repost should be allowed in the first place.
