That sounds like a really horrible situation and some terrible leadership and I'm sorry to hear that. ... was I the person you meant to respond to, though?

That’s not what they’re saying. They’re challenging the “I can always tell” people who are both proud and regularly wrong. As fake news becomes more and more real and with photo evidence, this matters more and more.

I mean, I learned a bunch of neat new stuff, so I’m excited!

I feel like you’re intentionally misrepresenting me. I’m obviously talking about number sense, mental visualization, etc.

Indeed. It also turns out, as someone else in this thread has noted, NYT's style guides say to not include the unit in headlines, so here we are :)

A random, spare letter wastes space and might have been A/B tested to have a higher click away rate.

This makes sense from a context and writer perspective. Most conversation about climate change has been around global average temps raising in C. Further, switching that back and forth and doubling it for F would be seen as manipulative by

I would argue feet and inches are pretty good too, since there’s a foot on your body, and a thumb, too, for inches. Weight, mass and considerable distances, I’ll grant you, though.

The Times is a US magazine. The odds of them picking a US unit of measurement are very high.

You’re right, a centralized repository would be good too. Both a centralized repository AND a daily message, especially for new employees, would be ideal, imo! Normalize chatting and sharing stuff in slack!

There are places that don’t … have … sufficient cell service, as a starting point.

They have a cell phone on them because they have WiFi in their house, because they have Internet, and they have notifications turned on to their local emergency servers. Since Twitter has a push notifications and a shorter refresh timer, yo

I said organization on purpose to also include governments, especially local and small ones in the middle of nowhere.

Some people have Wifi but not cell phone signal. A single tweet has very robust, existing infrastructure, over the “one email per person in a mailing list” style of email; and SMS is DoA when there’s no cell phone.

Text message alerts and a website require some level of technical know-how from someone at the company. For many people and the companies or organizations they lead, “everyone uses X/Twitter” and/or “everyone can access X/Twi

VR enthusiasts will be in VR 7+ hours on a weekend. I regularly clock 4+. Without a tether to the PC (I have battery in my pocket) it’s pretty okay!

I know lots … and lots … of people that sleep in VR. I don’t know how they do it either, but there we are! This product doesn’t look half bad for sleeping in VR for people that are used to doing so with other headsets. Definitely easier tha

VR Chat often has 70k+ concurrent players across the world. It is a niche, definitely, but one that spends a lot of money and time on their virtual third space.

Agreed, though for what it's worth, Windows and Mac both run on ARM and/or phone processors now, so.... they're not the first to say that?

It's around what the Quest 3 has. There is no noticeable screen door effect on that headset. Since you can make the monitors as big as you like, you could do a multi-monitor setup, maybe. ... as someone who uses VR pretty heavily thoug

It's about $150 more than the original Valve Index, which given inflation and ram prices is honestly pretty good

I think you answered it. Everyone has their own moral compass and act accordingly. The concept of “No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism” and the moral framing of later seasons of The Good Place give good representations of how. Ultimatel

People … say that all the time. *I* say that all the time. It’s true enough to be accurate in 99.9% of the cases; and we put barriers in place when implementing code (like configuring the hashing algorithm) to keep it that way.

I’m one of those weird people that liked the game from the very beginning, and I’ve bought it at least twice for myself (different systems). I played it like 50 hours at the start. I always wanted a simple, procedurally generated space expl

Part of me is secretly hoping / assuming they’re releasing new features as a testing bed for the changes in Light No Fire. I’m also very hopeful for Light No Fire. *VERY* hopeful, but I have to assume all these updates are for their

That’s fine, it has a sustained concurrent players online of > 7k every day for the last 6 months [0]. Few games on Steam achieve that. While several people are complaining about a one-time-cost game with an absurd amount of updates that

If someone is that frustrated with AI, do they not just … switch to not using AI and doing it by hand, asking simpler next-step questions and hand-coding, instead?

But it’s *wildly* unhelpful. Would you talk to your coworker like that? “Half the site is blue” or would you laugh and go, “Uh, whoops, now both buttons are blue, just wanted the ‘Add to Cart’ button.” Either that, or your coworker themselv
