LinkedIn used to have this feature called Find Nearby. It allowed you to connect with people near you and it worked really well during large events. It used Bluetooth too.

They removed it some time in 2021 or 2022 unfortunately.

Your idea is nice, but it’d easier if tighter integrated somehow with another platform.

I have a Miele dishwasher in the US. It works great, but normal clean cycle is 2h37m :( it takes forever. Comes out clean though!

I run it on sanitize (baby bottles) with just pods (and rinse aid, it helps getting the water off/dry) and everything comes out squeaky clean. No matter the gunk on it.

Had a Bosch when I lived in Germany. 1h14min for a normal cycle, pods. Came out squeaky clean too. I miss that machine. The extra time the Miele in the US takes is really annoying

I have the same problem and have still not found a workable solution.

Only one there seems to be is to basically rerun 12 years of math, which is really unpleasant because I know 80% of the work making it unrewarding and slow. I don’t know what I don’t know that is super demotivating, indeed.

IRCnet and EFnet still have some activity. Especially #worldchat on IRCnet for generic chat still has fair amount of activity.

Wouldn’t you be measuring the interaction with the ordering device? How can I rate the experience if I didn’t interact with the Barista yet?

One of my general problems with tipping is that I have to tip before someone makes the drink. Then end up with burned coffee I tipped for. This feels the same.

I’ve given friends sets of Wera tools. Many people really appreciate high quality screwdrivers or hex keys.

This seems to focus a lot on the word usage too, which is useful.

Would be great if this combined with PowerPoint Online with Speaker Coach somehow. Then both deck, pace, clarity and word use are addressed. PowerPoint does some of it, but not to the depth that this seems to do it.

Moving abroad does it too. Often with even less questions.

Welp at least he doesn’t have any scaling issues. Scaled down to the minimal set.

This was my first PC ever. Such nostalgia. I still remember the games it came with. Magic Theatre and Hyperman were amazing.

Cool project!

Working for one of the hyperscalers as an architect, this is exactly my finding too. RHEL is the standard, everybody runs it. Exceptions are for SAP (SUSE) and some container workloads. RHEL for all the rest.
