> In the early iOS beta, the new tab button was at the top of Safari, as far away from your thumbs as it could be.
It’s relatively recent in iOS history that Safari’s address bar is at the bottom. There’s a setting to move it back to the top. This specific example is probably as innocent as a default getting accidentally changed during the development process.
After working late, I decided to cut through building 17. I had to wash my hands so I went to the men's washroom, assuming the same layout in 17 as in 16.
Hmmm... They painted the washroom walls pink for some reason.
Oh. They've got a condom dispenser in the washroom?!
Ooooh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That's NOT a condom dispenser!
I looked around wildly for any indications besides the dispenser of which washroom I was in. Quickly scrambled for the exit and looked at the door on my way out to discover that building 17 did NOT have the same exact layout as building 16.
Enough people use 867-5309 as their grocery loyalty card's phone number that it's often got savings available at the gas pump. Use the local area code. It works great for filling up rentals while traveling, too.
From a pure numbers perspective, if you work 40 hours/week and commute 3.5 unpaid hours/day, then dropping the commute and taking a 50% pay cut results in only a 28% hourly pay cut and an extra 17.5 hours in your week.
And let’s not forget the gas and car maintenance savings. I reduced my annual driving by about 4,000 miles. My car will also not have to be replaced as soon. I’m also eating cheaper because I’m more likely to make my own lunch rather than eating out. I’m sure there are more expenses like this that add up.
If I could make the finances work, I think I’d take that deal. (I’d be unlikely to sign up for that commute in the first place.)
I have data for myself. My annual driving dropped from roughly 9,000 miles to 5,000 miles when I switched to WFH. In addition to avoiding the daily back and forth, I’d often make a detour on my evening commute to get groceries for the next couple of days. Now I plan things out better and make fewer shopping trips, as well.
I wonder if I could negotiate cheaper car insurance rates. I’m driving far less and on safer streets, rarely getting on a major highway.
There is a “Comic Code Coding Essentials“ bundle for $30, licensed for up to 5 users. Unfortunately, it’s at the very bottom of the page so it’s easy to miss.
I think your link got cut off. Here’s the direct link to the section on when to use typed throws. I hadn’t read this before, and it changes how I’ll approach them. Thanks for pointing it out!
LOL “the company’s new initiative, the Phoenix Project, is critical to the future of Parts Unlimited, but is massively over budget and very late. Bill has 90 days to fix the mess or the entire department will be outsourced”
It’s such a boneheaded ultimatum that you can just tell that it actually happens all the time.
I didn't want to have to organize my work and personal repos using a directory structure, so I use matching on the remote instead. Since my job uses a GitHub organization, I'm able to conditionally include a config file that uses my work email in any GitHub repo under that organization.
I think this might be more interesting than the directory structure way. For years I've had the same setup of OP, but now that I think about it, this might make more sense for me.
Will give a look.
