The stickiest feature for me is Facebook groups. I go to Facebook to see what the people who share my interests are up to, where the next group bike ride is, etc. The recommended content (read: auto-playing reels) just distracts from that and literally any other content / media I'd rather be consuming. I'm really bummed that the platform is trending towards being a Tik-tok clone.
I remember at some point there were a bunch of Facebook ads about how it was a great platform for groups. What happened to that focus?

Thanks for the info! I was confused because I'd never had to worry about ISP specific up-time for any of my projects (which definitely don't approach microsoft size). But, I'm not surprised the big guys have a more direct line.

Yep, I created a time tracking tool that syncs with Freshbooks for my contract work. No one else ever used it and I never tried to market it. But it made tracking my hours 100x easier, and I learned go in the process.

If you're interested in using open-source tax software for analyzing policy changes, here are a few really cool projects written in Python:

This is nice!
I just implemented a pandas-like api for one of my projects, but I wound up building it on top of sortedcontainers: https://paramtools.dev/api/viewing-data.html
I almost swapped over to using Pandas Series like what you did, but I went with something (I think) is lighter weight.
It's cool to see what an alternative implementation might have looked like!

I had suunto watch issues, too. I used openambit[1] for a bit, but at some point, I was no longer able to get it to sync with my movescount account. Eventually, I got a new watch that synced with my phone over bluetooth and the issue was moot.
