I wish US english had a term as good as ‘twig’ for when someone doesn’t get something.

I'm the same - work persona is curious, engaged, loves to talk to new people. Off work sometimes this bleeds over, but generally I retreat to my more comfortable introverted self. It's a valuable skill, so I do sometimes practice

My friend wrote Micropython so I’ve passed this along to him! Very cool.

I saw some people wondering if there will be more shows - my kids use the iView app and a VPN to watch Bluey (which has been handy to get access early to new episodes!) and they've been advertising they'll be doing a long-form 28

Not an unfair point, although it is alarming at work how many bugs end up being reported directly from customers.

My 4 year old Mac Mini had been showing some flakiness and finally I got an error about "hash mismatch detected on volume" - ran memtest and sure enough the RAM had gone bad. I rely on this machine for all my media, backups, etc,

That’s not true. It depends on the RSU structure. We’ve had both types at my company. Also FWIW the company can withhold some shares as they vest but max 22% for federal.

Off topic, but this is the first time I’ve seen your username. I would love to compare sometime how we both came to such similar kinda odd usernames, haha.

FWIW I've noticed on a lot of airlines removing the screens have phone holders in their place and always have a USB charger. It's a moderate weight saving, there are some details in this article: https://www.fastcompany

>It’s becoming somewhat of a popular trend in the airline industry to cut costs by having the passenger bring the hardware, and as an added bonus they get to force their way into your coveted list of installed apps. TBH I see this as a p

I was scared of turning the subscription off, but no, it's fine. My own library is still there. They used to have a terrible matching algorithm for Apple Music, different to iTunes Match, but switched it pretty early on. I've h

As just one example, a few years ago our company changed parental leave to 4 months from 6 weeks. Is that making them the same or more money? I think companies do things like Unlimited PTO because although it may mean some people take more

This is amazing. I now work in consumer SAAS web development, but I worked for a long time in finance and for 7 years of that exclusively focused on FIX, writing a real-time, highly performant market interface. I would have _loved_ to hav

I have no idea what is going on at AT&T but I've definitely seen their customer service slide dramatically in the last few years, to the point that I finally left the network after 9 years. I don't blame the reps - there seem

That’s not true. It forces reels on you now (maybe feature flagged?), all kinds of random people you don’t follow. Instagram has become a hot mess.

I was a little confused by this, but correct me if I'm wrong but the 2500 sq ft limit is just for R5 lots correct? Larger lots, like R10, can have much larger dwellings on them still.

I've seen it at multiple medical facilities here unfortunately. Maybe it's a Portland thing?

I was not impressed with the lack of handwashing at our local hospital. Last time I was there I noticed they'd put up signs encouraging patients to ask their care provider if they'd washed their hands. I had a nurse come out, br

I'm so glad to hear this! While it's common to give feedback on bad experiences, I've always felt it's important to give feedback when things go really well. Especially if someone has fixed a really difficult situation

I had one of the VC investors in Lyft pick me up for a ride a few years ago in Menlo Park. Had a super interesting conversation - I was impressed they were scoping out their investment directly. I wasn't sure what the protocol for ti

Forest Heights has good schools, is affordable (by Bay Area standards at least) and is a short drive to downtown, 10-25 minutes depending on where and what time of day.

I wasn't sure if you were saying SurveyMonkey is missing SPSS export - it supports exporting to SPSS AFAIK. Is it that the export is missing data or features for your needs?
