Last updated on September 18, 2022 by Sal Ferrarello

My son is studying unit conversions in school and as a family we were discussing how you can’t use the same technique (multiplication) when converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

WordPress Gutenberg Trigger Autosave

Last updated on April 25, 2022 by Sal Ferrarello

Recently, I was documenting the steps to reproduce a certain bug and the bug required the presence of an autosave (along with the “There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below.” message).
