Yikes, thanks for the heads-up. Just tested on Firefox on a Pixel 3 and see what you mean about the text — had to fix a bug in the Wordpress theme's CSS.
Would you mind sharing where you are? The site is mostly delivered through AWS CloudFront, but I don't pay for the global edge nodes — just US and Europe. Google (and I) generally benchmark it at ~0.5 sec, but that's here in the US.
Interesting. I haven’t done a direct comparison, but that pricing is darn good. I may have to migrate if my traffic grows and it’s easy to use with mops.
Thanks! I do plan to write some follow-ups on how the kiosk is used, but was afraid of the post getting too long. TBH the biggest benefit for me is what I said in the first sentence: that guests can use the kiosk (friends find it easy to use, and I'm also an Airbnb host sometimes).
Curiously, I've had the same problem with 3 different devices of the same model, including using 2 different MacBook Pros. My partner and I have both gotten used to locking our screens when walking away from our desks.
This is anecdotal. The article discusses the fact that you THINK you have these different styles. But TONS of research shows that the best approach to learning does not take this into account.
My experience here is with my iPhone & iPad. Until recently, there was no way to use Dvorak with them, but I seemed to switch seamlessly. Though, there's something to be said about potentially different motor memory being used for thumbs vs. full finger layouts.
Perhaps... but even for a programmer, I'd submit that there's still plenty of "regular communication" (emails, slack/gchats, etc.) which would benefit from higher WPM.
Right! I find it fascinating that "beginner's mind" is a concept spoken about in Buddhism a lot. I get the same sense when I travel to a country where I don't speak the local language. All of a sudden, everything is fresh and new. Better than the wildest drug ;)
Very good points! I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of being conscious of your brain rewiring itself. It's a very strange feeling. Another time when I've felt it, though, is when I experimented using only my left hand for a month (including for writing homework assignments, etc.) It was very slow-going at first, but I found myself approaching things in a novel way... it's really weird to try to explain.
Oh yes, that's a great way of putting it! People disparage the idea of "wearing masks," yet we need to do so in order to function in society. I use a different tone and language with my boss compared to my best friend, and that's a good thing.
