My favorite way to end brushing my teeth.

I had not thought about having the sunscreen leech into the water. Thank you for educating!
The per degree temp control is a huge win along with the spout. Itll also stay warm for 30mins, optional beeps when done heating, and you can have it boil water automatically for a specific time. I really enjoy mine.
I have the same one. Mainly got it for temp control for white tea and figured having per degree control was a huge plus. Plus it’s so nice artistically
It’s actually pretty shocking. It seems so normal to struggle to buy a house, yet most of the last generation have one. It’s going to be a rude awakening for society as this trend continues. At some point the older generation is going to pass on and free up houses. What is that even going to look like? Are they going to be jacked up too? It’s just not sustainable if you project it out. There has to be a tipping point. People need homes and renting is so limiting.

This is an article from 2015 where Facebook/Meta was exploring Blu-ray for their DCs. You’re definitely right though. Tape is key as the longest term storage.
Super cool, blew my mind! I would love to see it in operation. The logistics from the machine side + the storage heuristics for when to store to a disc that’s write-only sounds like a really cool problem.
There are also techniques where data centers do offline storage by writing out to a high volume storage medium (I heard blueray as an example, especially because it’s cheap) and storing it in racks. All automated of course. This let’s them store huge quantities of infrequently accessed data (most of it) in a more efficient way. Not everything has to be online and ready to go, as long as it’s capable of being made available on demand.
I agree. I much prefer text stuff. It’s hard deny the shift though. Looking at TikTok as an extreme example, a whole generation is getting their news from someone doing a dance while two other videos play of cutting playdough. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but I do think it’s really hurting our ability as a species to exist without attention hacking.
If you’ve managed to exist outside of that band of information exchange, I commend you.
Attention spans. News content these days are moving to video other text to better grab your attention. When everything is really engaging, you have to be more engaging than that to get seen.
The number of articles out about the latest and greatest game updates from a few hours ago which are rehashing patches released a week or more ago drive me nuts. How many times do I have to wade through multiple screens of preamble to find out that content is being recycled from week old news.
But yes, the ratio of low signal to high signal content is crazy in general. I get that people have to make a living and want to do it via communicating on YouTube/articles/… but I feel we’ve really lost access to high quality content. ChatGPT and other LLMs are going to make this wayyyyyyy worse.
Content recommendation algorithms push for length and frequency, which inevitably means meeting the quantity bar is more important than quality. Meanwhile we have really thought out high quality content buried in a mountain of clickbait and those creators both don’t get as good monetization or exposure. It’s a sad system :(. I want to see more ErrantSignal quality bar and less clickbait please.
Do you have a detailed list of duties? Ask for one. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that look for duties of similar positions for different companies. If they are asking you to do these management related duties under some pretence that you’ll be promoted to a leadership role, then that’s one thing. I think it’s fair to have a conversation with your manager about how you are feeling, what you are doing (make a list), what your career goals are, and how you can align that with the company.
Instead of comp, here’s a pool table. That’ll keep everyone in the office!
