Ok, just gotta brag on myself...

Right now, on my company's main website, the very top front-and-center feature is a link to a white paper I wrote. Yesterday on a company post-earnings all hands meeting, the CEO was asked a question about the topic of said white paper, and basically quoted it.

Farther down, there is a 4-tile grouping of information. One of those tiles goes to a white paper I wrote. Another goes to a tech brief that I updated/modernized as the technology it covers was 3 years out of date so it needed to be re-written. A third goes to an innovation web site that I worked on with a coworker, where I'd estimate I was about 1/3 of the project.

This is for a tech company with $9B+ in annual sales.

I'm kinda riding high this week :cool:
 
Saw this, but am scratching my head:

"... accuracy of 80 percent compared to the doctors’ 20 percent..."

So physicians misdiagnose 80% of their patients? Something doesn't smell quite right here. I'm not gonna get excited until someone besides Microsoft agrees with their claims.

And, yes, I'll take a tricorder please. I don't want a jet pack after all.
 
Never thought about the shift plus vs unshifted minus, but in the end it's all about that keypad you're missing...

Cheers!
 
I dunno about your keyboard, but on mine, although "+" and "-" are right next to each other, one of them requires a shift. Cmon keyboard design jerks. (I have a tenkeyless - no keypad, so maybe I'm missing out on something ob).
When I'm writing code, I use more pluses than minuses (aka hyphens). Dealing with text or numbers in other contexts, quite strongly the reverse.

Nowadays, as in the past, most keyboarding isn't coding.

A 3/4 key? That's different...
I recall that my dad's old typewriter had a couple keys where you could swap out the key caps and "type dies" (or whatever you'd call the hammer ends of the arms that whack the print ribbon) so that you could select from several different special symbols / characters.

It seems so foreign and antiquated now. 🤣
