Yank here, you've certainly got my blessing. Can't imagine someone being bothered by it. I think of it as a demonym just like Brits or anything else.

>20,000 hours is 10 years of full-time work for a single person. Or, while we're mythical man-monthing it, 6 months of work for 20 people? Or merely a single sprint for 240 people!

There's an implicit assumption here that if a colleague did figure out how to (e.g.) 10x their output with new tools, the employer would capture all (e.g.) 10x of that increased productivity.

First thing I thought of as well. Every time I go to join an AWS call, in my head I'm thinking "oh, right. ugh." Hopefully they just adopt Zoom and not something even more obscure.

This is interesting. I frequently had them triggered by riding BART in the late afternoons in the winter, sun beating in through the dirty windows. Going through the tube (dark) and emerging in Oakland (raised track, clear view of the sky o

You basically described my account/family topology, and my concerns, to a tee. This sounds messy and I think I'm on the wrong side of the risk vs reward curve for now, perhaps I'll revisit in another year or two. Thanks for t

For ID=3, it shows o1 getting it wrong, but it seems to have succeeded? It did add a space between Tinker and bell , but that is the canonical way of spelling the character apparently. (That just one caught my attention because I was cur

This is an interesting idea (the first one..) and I suspect it'd be quite easy to build now. Someone posted a web app recently that reminds you to blink (iff you don't), and it was incredibly accurate for me, running fully in the

Unencrypted, I'm sure. I hadn't thought to look for smart meters, but my RTL-SDR (and my Flipper Zero) can pick up all sorts of temperature sensors, etc. A quick google found this rtlamr project with a number of blog posts about

This is a great idea, and it seems surprisingly accurate. I know it's a prototype, but in case you're interested in feature requests: if I have multiple webcams, it seems to just choose the first one without a way to select anothe

It's a neat feature, I just think it'd be ideal to do a confirmation first. It wouldn't be a great experience if it happened on mobile, either. Every click is a hassle, but principal of least astonishment applies here. Litera

I'm not at all qualified to speculate. So I'll just add that for those unfamiliar with him, the person who posted that tweet is an astrophysicist with a popular YT channel.

Did clicking on the Rent my PC tab really try to benchmark my GPU through my browser, or did I accidentally click another button on that page inadvertently that triggered that? If the former, that's a terrible idea. If the latter, th

Agreed. The vast majority of their audience doesn't understand the difference. And among the subset that do, I imagine there's a fair number of us that don't care about the distinction. I just want it to work well.

That's.. fine? It'd drive behavior modification if there was even a small risk of getting a citation. Today, there really isn't.

It cramps my hand pretty badly to handwrite the amount of notes I prefer to take in live meetings, so I really dislike that this is true. (And anecdotally, it is true for me.)
