Messenger kids apk11/5/2023 Then, using the Messenger Kids bookmark in the main Facebook app, parents can approve anyone who is friends with them as a contact for their kid, like aunts and uncles or godparents. Once the parent has authenticated it with their own account, they set up a mini-profile with their kid’s name and photo. Instead, parents download the Messenger Kids app to a child’s iPhone or iPad (Android coming soon). It’s important to understand that kids under 13 still can’t sign up for a Facebook account. “But the side effect will be that they use Messenger more and create family groups.” Marcus tells me he’s excited about getting his 8-year-old into the family chat alongside his 14- and 17-year-old children. “When you think about things at scale that we do to get people to care more about Messenger, this is one that addresses a real need for parents,” say Facebook’s head of Messenger David Marcus. But the app could prime kids to become lifelong Facebook users, and lock their families deeply into the platform where they’ll see ads. And with childish augmented reality masks and stickers, video calls with grandma could be a lot more fun and a lot less silent or awkward.įacebook won’t be directly monetizing Messenger Kids, automatically migrating kids to real accounts when they turn 13 or collecting data so that it complies with Children’s Online Privacy Protections Act (COPPA) law. Facebook even manually sifted Giphy to build a kid-friendly version of the GIF-sharing engine. Special proactive detection safety filters prevent children from sharing nudity, sexual content or violence, while a dedicated support team will respond quickly to reported or flagged content. “In other apps, they can contact anyone they want or be contacted by anyone,” Facebook’s head of Messenger David Marcus notes. ‘This works’, they said,” Facebook product management director Loren Cheng tells me. “We’ve been working closely with the FTC so we’re lockstep with them. Tweens don’t sign up for a Facebook account and don’t need a phone number, but can communicate with other Messenger and Messenger Kids users parents sign-off on, so younger siblings don’t get left out of the family group chat. Rolling out today on iOS in the U.S., “Messenger Kids” lets parents download the app on their child’s phone or tablet, create a profile for them and approve friends and family with whom they can text and video chat from the main Messenger app. For the first time, Facebook is opening up to children under age 13 with a privacy-focused app designed to neutralize child predator threats that plague youth-focused competitors like Snapchat.

Script debugger11/5/2023 Other improvements bring Script Debugger into the modern Leopard world: Unicode literal strings are legal, limitations on script length are removed, and Quick Look and Spotlight are supported. The drudgery relief is palpable all over the AppleScript world. And my absolute favorite: Type the start of an AppleScript block (like a “repeat” or a “tell”) Script Debugger can enter the corresponding block closing for you (“end repeat”, “end tell”). Type an opening delimiter (like a left parenthesis) Script Debugger can close it (withĪ right parenthesis). Type a user-defined abbreviation Script Debugger will expand it (so that typing just “dd”, for example, could enter an entire “display dialog” command with all the trimmings). Start to type an AppleScript term Script Debugger can complete it. Even better, Script Debugger uses its internal knowledge of AppleScript language syntax to make text entry far more convenient. The editing window can be split horizontally and vertically, the code block structure can be highlighted, find-and-replace can use regular expressions, and menu item shortcuts can be customized. Overall, users will experience Script Debugger 4.5 as a vastly more sophisticated editor. Also, Script Debugger is now much more canny about that perpetual bugbear of AppleScript on Mac OS X, the annoying tendency of applications to launch when their scripting dictionary is accessed in several situations it warns when this might happen, and can even prevent it. This permits automation and enables some new debugging techniques. What’s new in Script Debugger 4.5? Most profound is that Script Debugger itself is now once again scriptable (having lost its scriptability in the trauma of being rewritten as a Cocoa application in version 4.0, owing to the shortcomings of Cocoa’s own scriptability implementation). Graphically, that iTunes currently has such a thing as “album of file track 2 of browser window 1’s view” armed with that kind of knowledge, you can easily start scripting. It also helps solve the perennial headache of scripters everywhere, learning what aspects of a scriptable application are scriptable, by exposing the application’s “object model” in real time before you’ve written a single line of code. In an amazing feat of technical magic, Script Debugger instruments AppleScript so as to make it debuggable, letting you set breakpoints and step through your script one line at a time, watching the values change. For the last few months I’ve been assisting Mark Alldritt, veteran programming wizard and AppleScript master extraordinaire, with the documentation and development of the new version of Script Debugger, the flagship application of his Late Night Software.Īs a Late Night employee, I can’t praise Script Debugger 4.5 without risking a conflict of interest, but it’s fine for me to tell you what it does and why I use it (and in any case my opinion is already a matter of public record). A couple of years ago, my TidBITS contributions fell off temporarily while I worked flat out on some projects connected with AppleScript (“ Notes From the AppleScript World,” ). 1675: Apple “Wonderlust” event, OS security updates, Apple CSAM pullback, Mozilla car privacy report, iPhone weather apps, bike tour iPhone photos, do you use the iPhone 14 Pro Always-On display?Īs is so often the case in the cyclic world of software development, history repeats itself, but (despite Marx’s dictum) it’s better the second time.1676: OS dates, iPhone 15 lineup, Apple Watch Series 9 & Ultra 2, USB-C AirPods Pro, USB-C cable advice, more from Wonderlust.1677: iOS 17.0.2 for iPhone 15, OS security updates, new AirPods features, restore Slack sidebar, Orion HDMI display app, Apple carbon neutrality reactions.1678: macOS 14 Sonoma available, two portable laptop stands, iPhone Always-On display poll results, which Web browsers do you use?. #1679: iOS 17’s Check In, iOS 17.03 addresses overheating, Mac browser popularity, Arc adds AI features, do you use Finder tags?.

Info thesaurus11/5/2023 This may restore immune function through the activation of T-cells. Upon administration, dostarlimab binds to and inhibits PD-1 and its downstream signaling pathways. This is an amazing app and an absolute must have for any writer (especially creative writer) using google docs.A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1 programmed death-1), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. And it's not even just synonyms it gives you for the word you input it also provides proverbs containing the word, and rhymes, and words commonly used in conjunction with that word. This app has single-handedly solved those problems for me any time I have that feeling in the back of my head that I'm missing something, that there's a way to polish off this sentence to read a little better, this app has always been helpful. Or you'll be writing something, and a term or turn of the phrase is on the tip of your tongue but you can only think of a similar word. You'll often write a paragraph only to find that you reused a word in a way that unintentionally made the whole thing feel clunky. It is single handedly the most useful app I've seen on the marketplace.Īny writer will tell you, writing is incredibly difficult. This is the only app I've ever gone out of my way to review and give 5 stars. I have a very large screen with high a high resolution, and the words are very small. If sidebar integration is not feasible, would it at least be possible to make the OneLook panel move to the side when the Google sidebar is expanded? So that both are visible at the same time.Īlso, I think it would be great to have the option to change the width of the OneLook panel, and, more importantly, change the size of the font. I think getting OneLook integrated into the sidebar would be really cool. I have seen other Docs extensions that integrate with the Google Sidebar (GPT Workspace comes to mind), so while I can't see both Keep and GPTW at the same time, at least I don't have to close the panel/sidebar to switch between them. I use Google Keep for adding notes and thoughts about a story when I'm writing, but as OneLook is not part of this sidebar, when I expand Keep, OneLook gets hidden underneath. Together, "Adjectives" and "Nouns" are useful for generating ideas for creative writing.Ī suggestion - currently the panel the extension creates on the right side of the screen is not part of the "Google Sidebar" (sorry, not sure if that's the correct term) that give access to Calendar, Keep, Tasks, Contacts, Maps, and third party extensions. "Nouns" is the reverse it shows you nouns that are commonly described by your search word this works best when your search word is an adjective. "Adjectives" shows you adjectives that are commonly used to describe your search word this works best when your search word is a noun in need of description. "Complete" shows you words that start with the letters you've typed so far, which is useful to jog your memory if you only know the beginning of a word. The results that are shaded in dark green are the "perfect" rhymes - the greener the better. "Rhymes" shows you rhymes (perfect and approximate). "Triggers" shows you words that are commonly associated with your search. Your search can be a phrase - more than just a single word - giving you access to the popular "reverse dictionary" feature of OneLook. Synonyms will be returned first (and highlighted in yellow), but the results go far beyond what you'd find in a traditional thesaurus, giving you many nuanced alternatives that may make for suitable substitutions. "Synonyms" shows you synonyms and similar words, as well as links to find definitions and usage examples. Click on a result to replace the word at your cursor (or your selection) with the result. You can override this by selecting a word or multi-word phrase in your document explicitly with your mouse, or by typing a word or phrase into the side panel's search box. The add-on will use the word under your cursor to make the search. As you're writing a document in Google Docs, just select one of the 6 function buttons to find engaging alternatives, admirable adjectives, rapturous rhymes, and more. The OneLook Thesaurus add-on for Google Docs brings the brainstorming power of OneLook and RhymeZone directly to your editing process.

Oops sorry mermaid eating clipart11/5/2023 William Shakespeare uses the expression "alack the day" in his tragedy Romeo and Juliet: "He's dead, he's dead, he's dead! / We are undone, lady, we are undone! / Alack the day! He's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead!," reports the Nurse to Juliet. Quite possibly, it could have been influenced by 17th-century lackaday, which is a shortening of the term alackaday-from the expression "alack the day" ( alack itself being an interjection used to express sorrow or regret, so the expression roughly means "a day of sorrow or regret"). The dazy/day/daisy element is where we have to lean on hypothesis. And it seems probable that the whoops and oops forms developed from dialect pronunciation or misinterpretation of up. The formations with the adverb up are straightforward since the expression originated in the act of raising or lifting up. "A man who sold bootlaces in Sheffield was called 'Opsi-daisy.' A drunken man, being found by his wife lying on his back in a gutter, was thus addressed by her: 'Eh!-art tha lookin' for daisies upards?'"Īlthough the exclamations seem nonsensical, there is lexical logic behind their origins. UPSI-DAISY, an interjectional remark addressed to children when they fall down. The hyphenated form upsi-daisy was defined in a 1888 glossary of words "used in the neighbourhood of Sheffield" thusly: Other 18th-century writers began to transcribe it as up-a-daisy, and subsequent writers played around with phonetic spellings, including upsa daesy in the 19th century as well as the hyphenated and closed spelling upsidaisy. The variants with oops and whoops are believed to have led to those words becoming standard interjections in their own right.Īn early written record of the exclamation is in the form up a-dazy in English satirist Jonathan Swift's 1711 Journal to Stella.Ĭome, stand away, let me rise: Patrick take away the candle. The source word is 18th-century up-a-daisy, itself from dialectal upaday. John McCright, The Addison County (Vermont) Independent, 19 July 2018 Upsy daisy! I lifted it out and away from the curious nose of the dog…. This gave me the opportunity to lean my torso inside the door and grab the hen by the leg. It was scared of me and stuck its head between the waterer and the wall. I got a hen down and literally raked it toward the door. Upsa-daisy," he said as he lifted her to her feet and steadied her with his hands on her waist. Some examples are upsidaisy, upsa daesy, upsie-daisy, oops-a-daisy, oopsy-daisy, hoops-a-daisy, and whoops-a-daisy. The up, oops, and whoops variants (with or without a middle "a" and with either a "-y" or "-ie") are all found in print. And then once the utterance has been decided upon, there's of course the issue regarding spelling it in hyphenated, closed, or open form. 2016Īs with many such exclamations that are more often used in speech than print, people often tend to hear and say it differently, making it problematically interesting to put in writing. Jessica Rach and Julia Pritchard, The Daily Mail (UK), 4 Sept. Whoopsie daisy: Making an extravagant entrance the star seemed to almost trip as he stepped onto the deck, possibly causing the subsequent hilarity. Their cutesy pronunciations usually distract just enough to prevent an emotional breakdown, and although typical usage of these terms is with children, they do apply to adult mishaps as well. Not to mention the classic 'whoopsie-doodle.'Īll of these are used to give reassurance or to give acknowledgment that something out of the ordinary is about to happen (like being lifted high into the air after said fall or stumble).

Easy solitaire online11/4/2023 The Stock reveals one card at a time (Classic Solitaire Klondike) or three cards, for a more challenging game. The player can go through it to find the needed cards to build a pile sequence or to build up the foundations. The Stock pile contains the remaining cards not displayed in the tableau. An empty space in the tableau may only be filled with Kings. Only the upper cards on each pile can be moved to the foundations. The player can do this in two ways: by moving the cards directly to the foundation when the sequence allows it or by transferring the cards to other piles in a sequence of alternating colors and descending order (from King to Ace).įull or partial sequences are moveable within the piles. The player must move the upper cards to reveal the ones immediately below them. Only the upper card of each is revealed, with the others facing down. On the tableau, there are 7 piles of cards. The foundations are built in a set order, starting with the Aces and ending with the Kings. The goal is to move all the cards in the tableau to the four foundations (1 per suite). In a game of Solitaire Klondike, the tableau is divided into 4 main areas: the Piles, the Stock, the Waste (discarded cards from the Stock), and the Foundations. At the dawn of personal computers, the company saw in its simplicity a fun opportunity to help users get acquainted with the movements and mechanics of the mouse.įree from the hassle of shuffling and dealing the cards at each new game, the computerized Solitaire Klondike became a resounding success. Gold prospectors in the area are rumored to have created it and/or popularize it.ĭespite being highly popular ever since the Solitaire Klondike only reached the masses on a large scale after it was included in Microsoft’s Windows 3.0 in 1990. Regardless of its birthplace, the most well-known version of the game, Klondike, is said to have appeared by the end of the 19th century in Canada, in the gold rush region of Klondike. The origins of Solitaire are still a source of debate among historians with many pointing to 19th century France and Germany while others believe its emergence is linked to the spread of the art of divination in Eastern Europe. It is also possible for more players to engage in the game with each taking turns making a move or through a competition to find who can solve the tableau more efficiently. Despite its many variants depending on the disposition of the cards on the tableau, the goal is always to organize and collect the cards in a set order in as few moves as possible and in the quickest time. Solitaire, also known as Patience in many countries, is a single-player card game. The Klondike by Threes is the difficult mode of the game, as it prevents the players from using all the cards in the Stock pile in one go. The Solitaire Klondike itself has two game modes, depending on how the cards on the Stock pile are dealt: This is the game that became so widespread thanks to its inclusion in Windows 3.0 back in 1990 and that has since turned into a symbol of procrastination at work, thanks to its popularity among office workers. Nevertheless, whenever Solitaire is mentioned everyone immediately thinks about one variant: the Klondike. There are several variants included in this category, some of which share nothing with the others except for the use of cards to play them. In reality, the name Solitaire does not refer to a specific game. Young and old alike can appreciate the peacefulness this game provides, so suitable when it comes to clearing their minds and winding down in a moment of stress. Solitaire is one of the most popular card games in the world. |
