Oh... hmm, two toggles actually. One at Settings > Notifications > Calls > Notifications toggle, and the other at Settings > Notifications > Messages > Notifications toggle

You have to zoom in, but here the inputs on the left are mixed pixel art / photo textures. The outputs on the right are seamless pixel art.

Later on he talks about 2x2 squares of four tiles each as input and having trouble automating input selection to avoid seams. So with his 512x512 tiles, he's actually sending in 1024x1024 inputs. You can avoid seams if every new tile can "see" all its already-generated neighbors.

You get a seam if you generate a new tile next to an old tile but that old tile is not input to the infill agorithm. The new tile can't see that boundary, and the style will probably not match.

And they might turn you into the Freakazoid

At some point some application developer will introduce a bug where they're not sending utc.

Without the time zone, the wrong times will end up in the database, bad data mixed in with good. This will be a nightmare to fix.

With the time zone, I don't think this class of bugs is possible. Most application developers will wrap the time in an object that allows them to do time operations without needing to directly handle time zone in most cases.

Honest question, maybe a blind spot of mine. Touch typing is so integrated into my daily experience it feels like driving or riding a bike. I mostly learned to touch type in the 90s just chatting with friends on AOL instant messenger. I think of touch typing as something nearly everyone picks up just as a side effect of living with computers.

Use your back and shoulder muscles to support your upper body and arms, so that you can ride with elbows bent. If you can bend your elbows, you can avoid pushing on the handlebars for support. That will make for more comfortable wrists with or without a keyboard.

"My modem keeps rebooting."

"Put the modem to your ear. Is it hissing?"

"Um...? Yes. Yes, it's hissing."

"Bad capacitors. We'll send you a new one."

This was during the Capacitor Plague https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague , so clearly he'd seen this before. Still, fastest support resolution I've ever experienced.

  1. Combine the first element with every next element until exhausted.
  2. Catch up the second element to where the first element got to.
  3. Combine the first two elements with every next element, until exhausted.
  4. Catch up the third element.
  5. Combine the first three elements with every next element
  6. etc.

  n = 1
  maxElementReached = -1
  
  while(n < totalElements()) {
    while(maxElementReached + 1 < totalElements()) {
      maxElementReached = maxElementReached + 1
      Combine each of the first n elements with element[maxElementReached]
    }

    // we've exhausted all possible combinations for the first n elements.
    // increase n by 1 and catch up the new element to keep going
    Combine element[n] with each element from n to maxElementReached
    n = n + 1
  }
