Right, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the permissions by app (only for all apps by turning off Handoff).

How do you create different containers for different Gmail accounts, since the beginning of the url will be the same?

Ha, I didn't know about that one. I currently replace the Siri button with the do not disturb button, seems like I use it more often.

I knew about work in anomaly detection for state of health and state of charge in batteries, where you can somewhat model the physical effects (in a data driven manner). However, this description of the problem made me think that meta-learning might be suitable for the problem you’re describing. I’ve only seen it applied in computer vision though (and more recently in speech).

You can also lock the screen with control + command + Q. I always bump into the corners so I prefer a key combination.

When I'm having a hard time writing a document I usually do the following:

- Go back to basics: Review what an introduction, body, and conclusion should have (and what they shouldn't). This of course will depend on the kind of document, since the structure and content of a research paper, a proposal, or an essay will be different.

- Make an outline: Lay out the different ideas in sentences. At some point, you will have all you need and you will just need to connect the sentences to create paragraphs and then sections. This specifically helps me to write concisely, as my document is a flowing outline.

- Revisit: Finally, if I have the time I like taking a break and revisit (even if it is the next morning). This gives me the time to come back with fresh eyes and spot the parts that do not flow, need more detail, or are redundant.

I've noticed that if I struggle creating the outline, it's because I don't understand well yet what I am trying to write.

"Machine Learning: a Probabilistic Perspective" is more an encyclopedia of algorithms I would say, and it has lots of typos. I personally would not recommend it (except for the amount of algorithms that it covers, many of which are usually not found in other books).

Have you checked the Unihertz Atom phone?

For me it is its integration with tmux, and therefore being able to use the command line in a remote computer as if you were using it locally.
