In one second I can type about 7 ASCII characters, read maybe 20, or aim and click like twice. Each typed character is worth like 600 million CPU instructions of a single core of a 4GHz CPU. It's actually this fat, precious thing, the product of a giant computation from a "computer" (that was optimized for something else) that we aren't harnessing at anywhere near its real value. Instead, we type semicolons.
Chevy Silverado XLTs have touchscreens too. I haven’t listened to any audio for more than 20 minutes in 3 years. The screen is totally unresponsive & starts ghosting soon after ignition. Trash.
What is the experience like wrt to commercial interruptions? I can’t watch NFL on broadcast tv any more - the dead air to game action ratio is dreadful. $72/month just makes this an absolute nonstarter.
You get the local station advertisement (as if you were watching the game in-market), but you can switch to any other live game during commercials. It also includes the DirecTV Red Zone channel[0], which basically does that for you and tries to just show whichever games are currently at exciting moments. That's honestly one of the best ways to watch, because they just switch away from any games that have an ad break. Presumably it will be changing or going away entirely, since DirecTV no longer has the rights to these broadcasts.
There's also a "Fantasy Zone" channel for fantasy football stuff, but I've never actually watched that one.
[0] Not to be confused with the "NFL RedZone" channel, a completely different television broadcast that does the exact same thing, but hosted by a different dude.
I use pocket for this & spend considerable time tagging each new entry. My link library is approaching 10k articles, and is slowly becoming my go-to when referencing a favorite subject.
Agreed. I've occasionally tried using frameworks to generate ideas - none of which passed my sniff test. The really good ones come in the shower, so to speak.
"Even a single preventable death on a job site is one too many. We have contacted his family, made all the arrangements for a dignified flight home, memorial service and created a financial fund to compensate the family for his loss. It's the least we could do."
And we will do our best to improve safety around the workplace and avoid these deaths, because we value the life of our immigrant workers as much as that of our citizens.
One machine counted clock cycles between two key presses using the same finger. From what I recall the smallest answers were in the … thousands?
