Not going to compare to Flickr?

Yes, thank you for writing this!

I definitely did a double take on this article title.

No, that is incorrect. According to the person who chose the term, it was in reference to a recording master.

I get master/slave. It isn’t really necessary at all, and more descriptive terms are actually better in most cases.

There’s no need to use the other PowerToy to change the keyboard shortcut. You can change the shortcut right in the PowerToys Run settings.

“I actually don’t believe that there are people who genuinely prefer a melted sharp cheddar to melted American cheese”

Proof of insanity confirmed, I think :). Sharp cheddar (particularly smoked) is one of the best cheeses for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Also, there’s no need to stick with one cheese. One of my favorite…

As somebody who made a decently popular Xposed plugin back in the day, I know of the power it gives. Unless they’ve drastically changed things (which is possible), you’re allowing basically unlimited access to modify the behavior of the system and the apps you install. That fancy visual mod you installed could also be…

It’s a software engineering term. You explain your problem to a rubber duck, then often you’ll suddenly realize how to fix your problem.

Sounds like you entirely missed the point of the article, didn’t actually read a thing, and lack basic critical thinking.

Late to the game here, but I wanted to say this was a great “How I work”. Also, Beth you do great work, and I enjoy your articles.

If you’re measuring the outside of something (your “hang the metal tab on something” scenario), you want to know the distance of the inside of the tab to the edge. If you’re measuring the inside of something, you want to know the distance from the outside of the tab.

But the tab has width.  So if it doesn’t move, one…

The Butt Fumble has more cultural significance, but I’d argue this one is more pathetic.  It’s one thing to have something (even a butt) knock the ball out of your hands, but this one is just awful.

I agree with you on ketchup. In fact, I generally agree with the whole post.

I ran into an interesting situation with a mortgage one time. The seller was going to pay a certain amount in closing costs due to some home damage. But they were paying more than the closing costs added up to.

A burger isn’t steak. If somebody wants a steak well done, that’s their affair, but it ruins it for me.

Backup camera should be standard for all vehicles, in my opinion. Too many small children, pets, etc, are below your line of vision, especially if you have things like hills you are backing down.

Lots of these comments are about having an adult conversation rather than putting on a show. I totally get that. But some people enjoy the ceremonial aspect of it, and that’s also totally fine.

In my case, we talked very seriously about it in advance... and then we had a formal proposal because it was fun and we both…

I’m not saying there’s a silver bullet, but I think with the resources Amazon has, they can at least vastly improve things. Techniques like Machine Learning are meant for this kind of task. It surely won’t be perfect, but I think they can make things much better.

Isn’t there an issue with soap scum making it hard to clean and clogging up pipes?
