This is great. I’m working on something similar for tracking college football games from the terminal. Right now it just shows a List of active games with minimal navigation. lots of great inspiration.

Major subsidiaries within a large company can and do have separate CEOs. For example, YouTube also has a separate CEO (previously Susan Wojcicki, and now Neal Mohan) under Sundar Pichai.
It’s also common within Microsoft. I can’t speak to when/why they decide to do it, but the leads for the Microsoft Gaming (Phill Spencer) and LinkedIn [acquired 2016] (Ryan Roslansky) are both CEOs in the org chart at Microsoft.

>gluing down CMOS ... seems surprising
This is because without securing the battery, it becomes the most-likely RMA reason (shipping can unseat the battery).
For the zero/one time in the computer's lifetime that it requires replacement, there's a chemical that will remove the glue's attachment.
Very good point. I know there’s a “clip” there to keep it secure, but certainly could get moved during shipping.

This came up in my recommendations yesterday and I ended up losing a few hours to videos on this channel!
The one thing I didn’t understand was why at ~14:00 they’re gluing the CMOS battery down!? That battery will certainly last less than the useful life of the PC. Seems like a surprising choice.
I've been doing software for 25 years and just had to look up SDLC ;).
For anyone else that, like me,
doesn’t know the acronym. It stands for.
“systems development life cycle”

In case people are wondering why this is being posted to HN again, the author just signed a book deal:

I’ve adored Jon’s writing for years, so a book is exciting! But it does bum me out a little bit that it will be “just” a book. Compared to the dynamic and multimedia formats of “Tim Tebow in the CFL” and “Football 17776”. The writing is excellent, but the dynamic and multimedia nature of his previous work will be missed. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Are cpaps that widely used to have that significant of an effect?
For CPAP to be primarily responsible, we would need a very sizeable portion of the population to be using them, but I think the numbers are less than 3% right?
From the article as to the effect size:
“For example, in the US, among people aged 81 to 85, 25.1% of those born between 1890–1913 had dementia, compared to 15.5% of those born between 1939–1943,”
I'm not saying that CPAPs don't contribute, but they are not likely the main contributors.
I think you have this backwards. OP is saying sleep apnea is common, but we’ve only had CPAP machines to compensate for it, since the 80s. I don’t see them trying to implicate CPAP as the cause of an increase in dementia.

As mentioned in the article, that shouldn't be an issue. Many people have reported going through without event. I'm looking to test it in a few months.
I’ve had one for ~7 years now and fly multiple times a year. I’ve never had it set off the metal detector, or more modern scanners at any security checkpoint in the US, or Mexico.

I played around with this a bit. Doesn’t work amazing on my iPhone model (SE 3rd gen), but it’s pretty cool. I don’t think there’s an API to use it in apps yet, but I would love to make an eye controlled mobile game.
I know of at least 1! “Before your eyes” though i played it on a PC with a webcam, and I believe the mobile version is only available for Netflix subscribers, but I would strongly recommend it! It has a well told story with an very unique means of interaction
