our top-line organization goals unfortunately required a shrinking of our operational costs. the moment a couple of hours ago was very unfortunate, and as the ceo of this organization, it is truly emotionally difficult for me to navigate this moment

we're a data-driven organization, and our internal data has demonstrated a 32% increase in revenue after the budget cuts,

@starshine several! a work macbook and a personal macbook that i rarely use. @alia on the other hand,

astrid, 12 days ago

@starshine the personal macbook is largely just for development and testing too, it's @alia's old one

funnily enough, among desktop distros, i get more macos readers than from any other os. i was expecting linux users to be more than windows users but the higher-than-usual proportion of linux users is still unsurprising

tbf i had nothing better to do

@natty @Clover trying to think how this works... so the smaller the number the more things are on each line, and the bigger the number the less things per line. Since Fibonacci numbers are approximately exponential, you have a mostly linear increase in the number of digits with each number (1 digit every 5 or 7 numbers I think?)

@natty @Clover yea if I had to guess it's either a parabola or hyperbola

astrid, 12 days ago

@natty @Clover actually I'm leaning more hyperbola

astrid, 12 days ago

@Clover @natty here's my reasoning -- the line will become linear at some point, when there is only 1 number per line, and hyperbolas also converge towards a line

astrid, 12 days ago

@Clover @natty I got nerd sniped and did a bit of calculus and I ended up with the relationship as WL^2 - ki^2 = C where W is the screen width, L is the line number, k and C are some constant, and i is the number... number. And that's hyperbolic I think

@Clover @natty wait. no. i may have miscalculated.
