Elevators in the last few countries I’ve visited had generally refused floor selection that didn’t agree with the call direction.

If no selection in the direction of call is made then they would open again and reset their direction after which you can go in the “wrong direction”, so to speak.

I think the suggested fix by the author is quite poor. If you really want to optimize, have floor selection done outside the elevator. People have to learn to remember which elevator is “theirs”, though.

However switching between those two types does tend to make you forget to make selections.

So they look good and the potential buyer sees something that looks to be in good condition and working well.

Opened cognito and bought at the lower price with a guest account.

Felt both smug and piss off at the 5 bucks I saved

Calling all the command line tools is cumbersome, the Python cloud APIs are verbose compared to the cli tools and often have very different concepts for how they interact with services.

But I agree that there is a need for a better bash and zsh is nice but not the upgrade that is needed

Code quality is really about readability and organization of code.

The thinking is, if the humans reading, writing and editing the code can’t read and comprehend it, they can’t develop it in meaningful ways.

But it is not a requisite that great software stands on top of great code

Maybe you’ve turned off WiFi Assist? It’s an option to allow mobile data to supplement WiFi.

Please do tell!

Pilot friction pens - the four color versions. I find multicolored notes great and they are erasable.

Muji spine notebooks - hit the perfect balance between cheap and nice to write on. For me, a moleskin becomes “too nice to waste on this meeting” - the spine version lays flat and it is easy to rip out a paper if someone needs a sheet or you are really unhappy to keep some scribbles around.

It scores bonus point for cardboard cover making it easy to write on the outside

Added bonus points for no spills, blobs or airplane worries.

Cut moves text from the application into a separate application, the clipboard.

So just like if I edit in application A, change to application B and hit undo, I do not expect undo to affect A, I also do not expect undo to affect the pasteboard.

The Ghost Cut works a bit closer to how Excel works, which constantly trips me up. In Excel, I might copy a cell, do some edits, then paste, only to learn that nothing was actually copied. In Excel, copy and cut makes a reference to a selection, and if that selection has been undone or changed at the time of paste, there simply isn't anything to paste.

I don't think it is fair to call a GPT model "fairly basic statistical text generation" - a Markov Text Generator I'd agree can be called basic statistics, but they are not fooling any humans in a Turing test.

> It would've been nice to reserve "AI" for superior human-like intelligence capable of genuine common sense and reasoning.

No, AI would absolutely be apt for describing a computing reasoning like a child

Remember that all signs point towards more CO2 fees and higher gas prices in the coming years

The only note taking app I’ve found to be fun to browse is Google Keep. I love the layout, I love how things are “out of place”

On a side note, I’ve found Muji notebooks to hit that sweet spot where the paper is nice enough to write down something you want to keep and refer back to, and cheap enough that you can waste pages writing down spur of the moment thoughts and things.
