Not many people know that “tabling” an item during an official meeting originates from centuries ago when meeting agendas were carved in stone. Any item not addressed or decided upon was set aside and turned into a table to hold the next meeting’s agenda. #TheMoreYouKnow #IsFalse

This one is for the #neurodivergent #ADHD and #AuDHD folks.

The clinical, neuropsychological, and brain functional characteristics of the ADHD restrictive inattentive presentation https://discovery.researcher.life/article/the-clinical-neuropsychological-and-brain-functional-characteristics-of-the-adhd-restrictive-inattentive-presentation/bcb1146a1f8639938f72a61dad3deb15

I did not know there was a restrictive-inattentive presentation (more info on that here: https://www.healthyplace.com/adhd/adhd-children/types-of-adhd-inattentive-type-hyperactive-type-combined-type#:~:text=their%20full%20potentials.-,Inattentive%20Presentation%20(Restrictive),least%20six%20months%20in%20children. )

This feels more like my presentation. Thankfully I used to be qualified to diagnose people. But this is a new development for me! #TheMoreYouKnow

@richardTowers @jonodrew I was annoyed on the lack of detail and I had to know this so I looked it up: Shetland and Fair Isle are in Norway, while Orkney is in Ireland. The border seems to be between Fair Isle and North Ronaldsay. #themoreyouknow

Microsoft netted over 17 billion last year and are already 10% ahead for this year. If they didn't layoff these 10,000 souls and instead paid them each $1 million dollars, they would still net over $7 billion.

@nova from an Australian perspective I was trying to figure out what an executive magpie was doing and how that relates to pooping.

Now, after a bit of searching, I realise that “swoop and poop,” is a term for when other line of business stakeholders interrupt incident response efforts to try to understand how this will affect their teams. Proactively addressing their concerns before they ask can save time and energy for the responders. #TheMoreYouKnow

@bryanjclark Yep. Has to do with the ActivityPub protocol that drives this whole beast. You have to follow the account so its server knows to send your server a copy of that account’s posts. *Then* your server can include those posts in your lists. #TheMoreYouKnow 🙃

Very quick on the answers and boosts. Key takeaway: for the sake of followers’ sanity, don’t repeat bad jokes from the previous instance if you want to keep followers from it. #TheMoreYouKnow

Astonishingly easy conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice-versa.

Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius: ºC = (ºF - 30) / 2
Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: ºF = (ºC * 2) + 30

68° F = 68 - 30 = 38 / 2 = 19° C
30° C = 30 * 2 = 60 + 30 = 90 °F

In my job we sometimes talk about petabytes. A petabyte of storage costs a couple hundred K (maybe 50 if you compromise on performance and availability) and could store, say, backups of all the data for a big company. Amazon or Google buy a few petabytes a day for their cloud services, most non-tech companies might buy one every few years.

A quettabyte is big enough to store a petabyte of data for every byte in a petabyte.
