Neat page, though having a section for total number of devices might be useful, anything that can download a lot of data via automatic updates.

Video games are in the hundreds of gigs now. Having a faster connection than strictly necessary saves a lot of waiting, in my experience.


Thanks for your valuable feedback Tony! I'm going to incoperate that in the product.

I reckon most folks have made a git oopsie and needed to re-clone a repo at least once in their career.

Having a “local remote” would be an awfully quick way to do that, especially in situations with no/low network connection or a flakey upstream server.

And I recon this is the default workflow for most people most of the time.


> valid AF

Nope. We already had a frigging phrase for that, and it’s “completely valid”, not “valid AF” or “cromulent” or whatever. Dumb.


Emergency broadcast is a big one, as well as location-specific information like road conditions.

The custom css is tight, love using inky blacks on my oled devices with just a single style sheet.

If we view this through the lens of the “American civil religion“, these spectacles aren’t too unlike crowds of folks gathering to witness miracles.


It kind of is a miracle when you think about what goes in to creating those machines, maintaining them, and learning to fly them so well, of course crashes notwithstanding.


Agreed, it's amazing they don't crash more often, given the complexity of it all.


This might explain why Apple has so many positions open at their Beaverton office, which coincidentally is not too far from ASML and Intel.


From what I recall, caffeine is mostly a concern for folks with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.

Most adults can build tolerance, and I believe some studies are showing potential links between caffeine consumption and positive outcomes.

Of course, things get a little weirder with higher doses, and I am a bit concerned about new methods like pre-workout powder.


I had a calc prof years ago that would say f of cow, or f of pig instead of x or g. It was more engaging trying to keep track of f of pig of cow than the single-letter func names.

He was one of those classic types; you could always catch him for a quick chat 4 minutes before class, as he lit up a cig by the front door. Back when they allowed smoking on campus, anyway.


I had a similar, really great prof, who would always ask for what the next variable would be, so we'd end up with trees and smiley faces. His point was to not make assumptions (c is always a constant etc), but it made the classes more engaging too.

And, somehow every example ended along the lines of "then you hand this to your boss, kick up your feet and have a nice glass of scotch."
