Diereses prevent diphthongs; support diacritics awareness

Hi. My name is Daniel.

I'm mostly active on Ask Different, where I'm now a moderator◆, but I sometimes visit some other Stack Exchange sites (more to read than anything else).

I first got into computers in 1982, and learned to program on an Apple //+. Switched to Mac in 2003. I'm not a computer pro; it's just a hobby. I hope any of my questions or answers are helpful.

Dec 11	comment	Where can I find an explained list of emoji (emoticons) used in iOS? I just read your list and was about to post a link to it here as an answer — only to find that you, the person who created it, already posted here! Great work on the list. Have an upvote.
Dec 11	comment	Apple Mail shows plain text instead of HTML email And for some reason you consider displaying plain text over HTML a bug rather than a feature? :-)
Dec 11	comment	Create global shortcut to run command line applications Also, AppleScript and Automator are part of OS X.
Dec 11	comment	Does Coda 2 support Markdown? It's probably worth checking the website for the software (panic.com/coda/plugins.php) before posting a question here.
Dec 10	comment	Mountain Lion spaces erratic behavior The post apple.stackexchange.com/questions/74274/… might also be helpful to people experiencing this problem
Dec 10	comment	iPad PDF software to edit, merge, annotate etc well PDF documents like in desktop? Also working with Math formulae? Questions on this site are stand-alone entities. They aren't part of "threads", but they do contain a single coherent question in the body of the post. They also don't contain random hyphens inserted at odd places.
Dec 7	comment	Debugging Server connection interrupted messages Answers on Ask Different need to be more than just a link. It's okay to include a link, but please summarize or excerpt it in the answer. The idea is to make the answer stand alone.
Dec 6	comment	Is there a way to enable “Find my Mac” to locate your computer but not remotely wipe the drive? What if it's present but missing some key executable file so it can't boot? Surely Find My Mac doesn't actually boot from the recovery partition every time it checks to make sure it's present.
Dec 6	comment	Is there a way to limit external hard-drive random spin-up? "Random" does not mean "something I don't understand."

Dec 3	comment	Is there a way to match calendar colors without MobileMe? Keep in mind not all iOS devices are running iOS 6. It's not just for historic reference.
Dec 1	comment	Automator Start Capture action doesn't detect stop in Quicktime in OS X 10.8.2 Have you tested this in ML? I like the idea a lot, but I'm getting the same crash here as I did with the first version of my script.
Nov 30	comment	Can an iPad work to replace a computer in terms of photo management? One could imagine that, but the question asked about moving the photos to an iPad.
Nov 29	comment	Anyone know how to get the CPU temperature in iOS? If you're really just interested in getting the CPU temperature, that could be an end-user question, but your question text seems to suggest you're looking for an API to do this programmatically, which puts the question outside the scope of this site.
Nov 29	comment	Anyone know how to get the CPU temperature in iOS? Questions about programming, development, and listing your apps on the App Store are off topic for Ask Different.
