Has anyone ever researched why check (cheque) (bill) splitting at restaurants is so weird in the USA compared to everywhere else with digitised payments? In the USA my experience has been that any non-trivial check splitting is refused by the server. Split two ways evenly, sure. Maybe as high […]

It’s rare to see a talk that so effectively demonstrates not just the tools for performance analysis, but the approach that leads to good results. This is a talk I wish I’d thought to give, but Matt absolutely crushed it. Comfortably my favourite session of WWDC 25 […]

I’m a touch surprised that I can’t find any off-the-shelf examples of a fused spur with an integrated Shelly. I have found two: one is a relay without energy monitoring, and the other is a subscription service. What am I missing?

Unrelatedly, I’m getting more and more disappointed with BAs increasingly aged fleet of 777-200ERs. Even with the newer business class product, the noise and cabin altitude are markedly worse than almost any other aircraft in the fleet.
