For Android I find Google GBoard transcription most accurate and pretty solid.

Thank you for the response. I am also in the same boat on windows the 2.0.0-alpha.7 is kind of too sluggish, with JVM (java?) hitting 1GB in memory.

Caffeine before noon or sticking to a last call at 2pm kind of help me. Medication wise I tried CBD which seem to help sleep a little better. YMMV.

3. speed read: beelinereader.com / found this to be useful but didnt use that often

When working with Excel, there is an addon (paid) called KUTOOLS that saved me a lot of time. It has a bunch of preset operations like removing duplicates, merging multiple sheets, bulking changing rows etc.

Another text editor worth mentioning is EMEDITOR that has tons of macros and handles larger files much better than Sublime

From their website (homepage):

> Gigster is a smart software development service, combining top developers and designers with artificial intelligence.

Am I the only one who does not understand what that even means?

Do they bring together matching developers and designers using their artificial intelligent algorithms or the developers and designers they hire have artificial intelligence?

I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon.in when I was visiting India. All the deliveries are via courier like DTDC. But I was in a smaller town. I am not sure if the Amazon delivery network is in action in the bigger cities.

Sorry if you answered this somewhere else. But does it use LOB's API to send the postcard?

I wonder if there is data/logic on what would be the optimal locations (countries/cities/towns) where it is cheapest and fastest to send a postcard to that country or neighboring countries.

My son just turned 4. He doesnt seem to mind using a keyboard occasionally, though searching for the keys leads to losing his interest quickly. He still finds it amusing typing words in a text editor and seeing them appear on the screen.

Touchscreen seems to be easiest be it for playing games or navigating youtube. He uses google voice quite a bit on an Android smart phone, since he found the "mic" button.

I have a 23-inch touch monitor hooked up to an intel nuc with Win10, which he seems to like a lot. Though the educational apps in windows store are very few. I was not able to find a way to hook up an Android variant to the touch monitor.
