"[...] a person can easily recognize a friend's face in any setting and from many angles, even if that friend has acquired a suntan or is sporting a new haircut." Maybe *a* person can, but some of us struggle with that....

Regular hexagons are easy, 'cause they're made out of equilateral triangles. So D is just 2a, R = a, r = sqrt(3)a/2, and the area is just 6 triangles (1/2*r*a), so A = (3/2)sqrt(3)a^2. Other polygons are trickier....

I am descended from a (accused, presumably not actual) Salem witch.

Bonus fact: I got misdelivered mail for Brandon Sanderson's brother for many years.

The headline reads "Meta workers say they're seeing disturbing things through users' smart glasses."

In a moment of uncharacteristic incredulity I assumed it was badly written. Why would Meta *workers* being seeing things through Meta *users'* glasses?

SILLY ME.

I desire fame only insofar as I might be able to leverage it into enough wealth to pay off my house and stop being an employee.

You could approximate it with typographical tricks, like parallel columns, analogous to split-screen video.

It would. You want it to be every 365.24 days (approximately). Which is what inserting a leap day accomplishes for everyone else.

I do remember Quora. Too bad it became overrun with bots and ads.

Addendum: don't judge intelligence by the *form* of someone's speech. The *content* is fair game.

So. Many. Convention. Business cards.
If I haven't yet emailed you after #LTUE, it's only because I have been following up with *so many other people*. I will get through all of these eventually....

Take it as an indicator that you shouldn't judge someone's intelligence by their speech.

That would be a "cutting off contact" offense for me.

My entire family is not-allergic to Costco's Hawaiian-style chicken. Woohoo! Fast dinner options have been hard to come by for a while.

Yesterday I Learned: at least one router-embedded DHCP server sends responses to the originator's MAC address instead of the last-hop address, which makes proxying DHCP through a subnet gateway unnecessarily complicated.

Not sure if they are better or worse than PT Cruisers. On the one hand, PTs actually look like vehicles. On the other hand, they're proportioned all wrong.
