Writing #Tip for anyone writing screenplays. Before you submit it, STOP. Have you remembered to include a character for Cary Elwes or Giancarlo Esposito? Remember - it has now been enshrined in law for all future studio productions to include a Elwes or Esposito character, or if none of your characters properly represent a natural fit for Mr Esposito or Mr Elwes, you may be assigned Nicolas Cage.
La petite découverte #bricolage du soir c'est que sur la plupart des cutters il y a un système intégré pour casser les lames usées de manière sécurisée. Souvent une fente dans la fermeture arrière qu'on peut utiliser comme levier. 🤯 #tip
iPhone Tip. Message Shortcut. For someone that you send messages to a lot, would it be handy to have a shortcut on your home screen that when you double tap it, it brings up messages, fills in who it is to automatically, and it puts you in the edit field ready to type your message. Well, this can be done pretty easily using the shortcuts app and something called an URL Action. Here are the steps.
1, Open the shortcuts app and choose Create New Shortcut.
2, Need to search for the shortcut action to use. Go to the bottom of the screen and swipe left going back up the screen. After the dictate button will be the search edit box.
3, In the edit box, just type, Open Url.
4, Swipe right, and one of the search results will be Open URLS, double tap on that.
5, Go to the top of the screen if not there.
6, As you swipe, you will come to a done button, then you will hear, Open URLS, draggable, show actions menu, swipe one more time and you should hear, Open, URL. This is where you need to be.
7, Now, flick down and choose Edit URL. This will open an edit box and put the keyboard at the bottom of the screen. Even though you can swipe around the screen, you can still type in this edit box.
8, So type, with no spaces, sms, colon, then the phone number of the person you want to make this link for.
9, All done making the shortcut. Go to top of screen and hit the done button. Now you have to rename it and add it to your home screen.
Renaming Shortcut.
1, From the top of the screen, swipe and you should hear, Open URLS. This is the shortcut that you just made!
2, Do a single finger triple tap on the shortcut to bring up a pop up menu. Now while swiping across voiceover does not have focus on what it reads to you, so you have to go past what you are looking for and then swipe back before making your choice. So swipe across until you hear details, then swipe back to rename and Double tap it.
3, A rename window will pop up, swipe across and enter the name in the edit field.
4, Once finished, hit the done button.
Adding to the Home Screen.
1, do a single finger triple tap on the shortcut like you did before. This time choose details. Remember, to make sure voiceover has focus on the correct thing, swipe past the details button, then go back to it.
2, On the details screen, swipe to the button that says, Add To Home Screen. This will add the shortcut to your home screen. If you need to, you can move this shortcut just like you move any of apps, and put it where you want.
Enclosing, I do realize that there are other ways of sending messages, like with Siri, or maybe by using a widget. But for those who normally open the messages app, go to the compose button, or to the person in their list of conversations, this is definitely a quicker way. The best thing is that there are multiple ways of doing it, and having choices is always a good thing! 😄 #iPhone#Tip#Shortcuts#Messages#Homescreen#Quick#Easy#blind#Accessible
@ChrisChaffin You may want to add an example of the sms: URL since you simplified it and actually used the word colon. But thanks for this, I didn't know you could directly open a URL like that. I probably don't use Shortcuts to even 2% of its potential.
This is a very neat trick to unset max-height when an HTML element with resize='vertical' set in CSS is resized. So you can have elements initially displayed with a max-height but then resized beyond it:
Little web dev tip: if you have just one address field in your HTML form (e.g., a textarea) but you still want the person filling it in to avail themselves of autocomplete, here’s a little reusable snippet you can use to achieve that:
Wow somebody just introduced me to ptipython 🐍 😍 which sits somewhere between bpython/ptpython and a full jupyter experience 🤯 - including the convenience of ? and ?? to inspect modules/methods/etc - pretty powerful! 📈🔥
Hey everyone just FYI you can post to Kbin and Lemmy from Mastodon and other Fediverse Micro-blogging platforms by having one line of your post at the top be the title and putting a mention to the specific community's handle in your post, works best if the mention is below the title. Also you can even attach images and they will appear in the post as an image (multiple images don't work as well sadly).
You can find communities to post in on lemmyverse.net/communities
Here's an example of the format that works best, even for non-glitch instances:
<br></br>[Post title text]<br></br><br></br>*(separate title and body with blank space)<br></br><br></br>[Post body text]<br></br><br></br>[Community's handle mention]<br></br><br></br>
When writing ExUnit files always add @subject module attribute containing name of the module that you are testing. It allows you to automatically see what exactly is tested without keeping the context at the back of your head.
