I want to know what was the first and last question asked of Jeeves.

I've recommended this exact talk many times! It's excellent.

I've used it to convert 40 page pdfs into text, and it did an impressive job.

Can you expand a bit more about what you mean when you say you're a competitive typist? are these in person tournaments?

Sure, I think the depth of thinking or problem solving is clearly important.

But, I don't think your claim is in tension with the article's claim that being able to type fast lowers a barrier (or provides a benefit) that's more than simply the "time it takes to literally type".

There's more there there.

I completely agree with this. I've been working on my own 30 day challenge to boost my typing speed, and the reason is similar to what's stated in this article: it's about latency, it's not the seconds saved.

It's mentioned in the article, but I mostly think of it as: the faster one types, the shorter the iteration time. When you can type roughly as fast as you'd normally speak, it's a totally different experience than t-y-p-i-n-g each word of a sentence.

It looks like it renewed automatically on the 17th every month, and then... it was reactivated on the 20th? I think this lends credibility to the idea that someone on the account tried to watch something 3 days after the subscription ended, couldn't without resubscribing, and simply clicked to restart the subscription. Obviously, it could be as you described it as well.

A simple test would be to see what happens if you try to, today, try to watch something on Netflix. Does it allow you to start watching shows? Or does it ask you to do something like restart a subscription? What do you see today?

Very nice! I've been a fan of your other data viz gallery work w/ python especially. I love how clearly you explain how to build up these results as well.

Which part of the horizon of the ocean was lower than another? I'm asking if looking East would be higher than South?

You state in the top level comment that this claim stains the article: "Stating that git breaks Jupyter notebooks is quite a flex."

But you are saying here: "If you leave git diffs in your files, whether Jupyter notebooks or otherwise, and run/compile them... They will break."

Have you changed your mind in this thread? Or what's your objection?

There could be a time advantage, where the probability weighted expected benefits of starting N years ahead of time is much larger than the sum spent preparing.

You could think of it as purchasing an option, which businesses definitely do.

Can confirm. Prof. Kim Griest at UCSD named MACHOs (deliberately contrasting WIMPs).
