Agreed. I think a tutorial step with mixing from obvious directions followed by the current one would be better.

That sucks. I'm excited about a lot of things. I can't imagine COVID really changed that for other people - though I suspect you're right that it did.

These are images you can post along with text on Threads/Facebook to signify what kind of responses you do/don't want.

I'm having a hard time understanding how this leads to lay offs. Software engineering salaries being amortized over 5 years leads to an increase in yearly taxable income for the company. So what makes this a bad thing for the company? Are they doing the layoffs just to reduce total income to bring taxable income back down to (or closer to) 0? I.e. is this all just to avoid paying more taxes?

They're still using the oven temperature example further down, unfortunately.

But it does let you control that. There's a knob for it.

Granted, I still wouldn't pay $260 for this, but it's a pretty cool mechanism nonetheless.

That's what the whole article is about. The struggle is that holding a context in your mind is easily broken by small interruptions. It's not by choice. So the question is how do you reconcile people on both sides working together.

Loud breathing is one of my biggest concerns when wearing noise-cancelling headphones around others. Partly because I dislike hearing it from others and don't want to subject them to that, and partly because I don't want to sound like a smooth-brain mouth breather.

20 cups before 2 pm? How??

BQ = Boston Qualifying, I think. I.e. running better than the standard for men/women in the Boston Marathon

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro came out last year. The 7a came out this year, which is the same pattern they've used for the past few generations. As far as the yearly cadence, well, that's what everyone does now. I agree that a couple years between generations would be better, but that doesn't seem to be the prevailing opinion.

That's a meaty lorem ipsum you've got there

I think the fake white bookshelf wallpaper has a certain aesthetic about it. I would like it in an AirBnB type of place, but definitely not in my own house.

I would also want it to actually fit on the wall and not be awkwardly cut off on the right edge.

The editorial on Hz is particularly funny and insightful.

    // Beware the SI's broken definition
    // of Hz.  You should treat the radian as being correct, as a fundamental
    // dimensionless property of the universe that falls out of pure math like
    // the Taylor series for sin[x], and you should treat the Hz as being a 
    // fundamental property of incompetence by committee.
    
    ...
    
    // You are perfectly right.  You are perfectly wrong.  You look dumb and
    // unreasonable.  The person arguing the opposite looks dumb and unreasonable.

    // Hz == YOU CANNOT WIN
