The extra 1 pixel of height for the text in green, in particular, allowed for some cool "italic" styling, especially for letters like E, D, J, U, V

Well, if the work under the fluorescent lights is what allowed us to end the era of jobs, then maybe it is "a" height of civilization?

When work picks up, like a big project, I might increase my intake to a larger 12oz or 16 oz coffee per day, but then I'll end up sustaining that too long after the project ends.

After a while, I'll do a cold turkey reset to zero caffeine. It takes 4 days and about 800mg of Ibuprofen each day to make it through the headaches. Luckily no other withdrawal symptoms.

I have friends that only drink coffee on weekdays... I don't get how that can be done! For me, coffee is preventative medicine.

I think we'd still be talking about Web 3.0 DeFi.

You would love this project! https://littlesignals.withgoogle.com/

"Little Signals considers new patterns for technology in our daily lives. The six objects in the series keep us in the loop, but softly, moving from the background to foreground as needed.

Each object has its own communication method, like puffs of air or ambient sounds. Additionally, their simple movements and controls bring them to life and respond to changing surroundings and needs."

I've been wanting to build these since the project came out, but never found the time. Has anyone else here built them with success? I'd love to hear your story about how you used them!

More likely scenario, your children, grandchildren or other family members go through your shit after you pass away and discover stuff about you that perhaps you never wanted to share.

This is something I think about a lot because I don't have a "digital legacy plan."

Also, he forgot to credit the video itself, which has a really high production value! Kudos all around!

Because the images are slides from a presentation that the audience could scan.

The text of the article appears to be the "talk-over."

I thought my last job (joined pre-pandemic) really could have been my "forever job." My "work persona" was the closest to my actual self in my whole career. It was fun and exciting and the people were amazing! We worked on a great product, shipping features and solving challenging engineering problems, using the latest tech.

But the pandemic absolutely decimated their amazing culture. Company growth slowed, focus shifted to cost cutting, there were a couple of annual merit increase freezes, company policies were incrementally changed to be less generous (the number of company holidays were reduced, sick time was tracked separated from PTO, etc.). All the best people left for new jobs by that point, leaving behind, well... the people that couldn't leave. The culture bar wasn't upheld in hiring, and the company culture diluted further. The company that emerged at the beginning of 2023 was a mere shell of the company it once was and I had to leave.
