on: IBM to acquire Confluent
I don’t know how many contracts IBM deals with, but the concept of a bench is very common in government contracting. It helps retain talent in an environment that’s more volatile than a typical office. Good for the company to avoid brain drain and hiring overhead, good for the employee because it’s a built-in safety net. Much better than your contract ending and immediately being out of a job, especially in today’s market

on: I spent the day teaching seniors how to use an iPhone
It made way more sense when it was introduced with the iPhone 6 Plus because there was still a home button. Much less likely to accidentally trigger it with that compared to the full screens we have now. It’s triggered by swiping down on the bottom of the screen, nowadays essentially the opposite motion of how you’d exit an app. Anyway, you can disable it in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Reachability.
