Same! They have a thing called presentation city that is a slide deck that is a sort of ad hoc social media platform.

My kid usually sits perched on the floor and holds the book open with his foot. It looks so uncomfortable but he seems fine with it.

Yeah, and constructability is usually handled by proving that a length is constructable if it lives in an iterated quadratic extension of the rationals. Pi does not lie in such an extension, so is not a constructable length (and neither is its square root).

Or 'caw' if you want to change the whole word, even if cursor is in the middle somewhere. I read it as "change a word".

It's entertaining when reading is entertaining. This was a great "read while eating lunch at work" read because it was entertaining.

I'm a math PhD, was a tenured professor and then transitioned to industry. We've got two humanities PhDs that work as QA testers on our team. They're both fantastic, especially in thinking about either big picture questions or nuanced takes that others missed out on.

There's a common workflow I use at work that involves taking the default 10 times before inputting what I need to use. I do double shave and a haircut quickly instead of counting return presses.

A similar annoyance is the fact that excel's undo applies to all open excel files. Make a change in a.xls, make a change in b.xls. if you ctrl-z twice with b.xls focused, it'll undo both of the above changes!

This has bitten me more than once. Does anyone actually want this behavior?
