hmhhcycbtsc557··on The Curse of Systems Thinkers
Was the essay you were seeking https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm?
hmhhcycbtsc557··on Life Before Unicode
I think you're mixing up endianness. The way I understand it, your first paragraph actually describes little endian encoding. I understand it as "the little value (i.e., the insignificant value) at the end".

EDIT: In fact maybe I'm wrong, if you consider the lowest byte address the first line of an address label... now I'm confused, haha.

I take it to mean that if you employ an average of 10 workers, each year 15 instances will have happened of a worker quitting and being replaced.
hmhhcycbtsc557··on A new chapter – full-time working from a van in a forest
I'd love to know what these nomadic folks do for friends and socialisation. I think I'd find it exceedingly lonely to uproot myself from urban civilisation (that includes the case of living in a new city every few month).
hmhhcycbtsc557··on Clayton Christensen has died
Would you be able to point me to his response? I found Lepore's story fascinating.
hmhhcycbtsc557··on Unshaky – Tries to address double key press issue on Apple's butterfly keyboard
This is a much more primitive/bare bones one I have used with some success: https://github.com/toothbrush/debounce-mac
hmhhcycbtsc557··on Tenants win right to physical keys over smart locks from landlords
My rental contract (AU) has those three clauses parent poster presents, verbatim. It's sickening. I actually have a mind to go and find out from a lawyer if they're enforceable.

I'm not Australian, but my sense is that tenants are viewed by the law as something between children and moral degenerates.

EDIT: and landlords are permitted to (and do) "inspect the property for damage" on a six monthly basis. At which point they tell you the day before they'll be poking around in your home. I don't know why we stand for it, frankly.

hmhhcycbtsc557··on I scanned Austria
I believe you, but I have little expertise. Could you explain or give examples why?
