I use the dictation feature in email and notes pretty constantly. It's remarkably accurate with zero training needed, and is much faster than typing by hand. Also saves on hand strain.
It's a Python script that takes in some options (which image, your github username, etc) and generates a bash script. Running the bash script actually makes the commits on the correct days to populate the pixels.
They're a large part of why I've almost entirely stopped reading comments on HN. Too many people more interested in being right than having an actual discussion.
Interesting. This might change the nightlife culture of SF to be more similar to bigger cities. I did a lot of hanging out in friend's houses, cooking, playing games, or having house parties in SF. In NYC, where the apartments are much much smaller, there's a lot less of that—people go out on the town all night and buy $15 drinks instead, and that supports the bars and restaurants than stay open late.
I'm also curious what safety measure they have on those vertical storage units. In an earthquake, all your stuff falling down in front of the door could trap you in your apartment.
