the only thing i search for on these announcements is phone width. bring back the mini

I learnt it the sad way that no one wants it except very very few people.

I do not think that is really the case. What actually happens is that smaller phones are often worse, i.e less battery life, worse processor, worse camera. Because there is less space in the device (and manufacturers think that people will buy a slightly thicker phone) and the screen doesn't use that much energy, the battery has to be smaller impacting performance. And users do not accept that. So unless someone discovers that you can make a full feature, big battery phone by increasing depth and weight of the small device, it wont happen / be popular. But once one company makes one, other will probably follow. Which again reduces revenue per producer...

No. It doesn't sell. You so called mini buyers never showed up except in forums making a lot of pointless noise. If you understand anything about how businesses work you would understand how useless your comment is.

Yep, let's drop the pretence that companies churning tech widgets do it for consumers. That's merely an inconvenience in the process of enriching stakeholders.

I’m sure they showed up, but if you compare to the entire market size it’s a small size like maybe 10%. They should have calibrated their expectations, but they didn’t. Also the battery life on them aren’t as good as the regular.

Hmmph, well fine then. Use that foldable phone technology everyone else apparently wants to give me a "normal" phone I can fold in half. Now everyone's happy!

protestant bible? catholic? orthodox?


No really.

What translation is this? What part of the religion (Maccabees, Mormons)? Is there Ge'ez portions (46 book in OT!)? How about the dead sea scrolls?

I think, if it takes off with some of the probing from here, then adding in a harder mode with larger apocrypha or duterocanonical texts would be great. Maybe make a section where you can select the translation and sect you want to learn about.


the "Old|New Testament" and "Section" clues are enough to make it not impossible (and also more "wordle"-like)

more like "guess who" in taking out entire categories


please disable the scroll-jacking


where is Solaris?


great insight on the lunch (harder for remote team, but there are other opportunities!)

> make it "OK, how do we solve this together"

excellent framing! a big fan of "pair coding" or "synchronous code reviews" when we catch this signal

thanks for sharing!


When I was teenager (more years than I want to count) my mum went to Uni to do social science since I was a computer geek and she very much wasn't (and isn't) she used to write her essays longhand and I'd type them up for her/proof read them and I'd read her books if they seemed interesting - so much of what came up in those books was applicable to been an effective manager later - Framing as a concept goes back the 70's (it's older than me :D)

It was a cheat sheet to life in many ways.


What a great design!

How did you design that awesome background!?
