Ask HN: What mechanical (dvorak) keyboard do I buy that won't annoy officemates
I am anticipating a move from a work-from-home sort of lifestyle to a work-in-office existence. I love (LOVE) my custom Unicomp buckling springs keyboard. However, it's quite loud. I'd love to have something with a similar-ish tactile feel, but that doesn't assault my colleagues' ears.

In summary, what would you buy today if you wanted:

1. Mechanical keyboard action
2. Quiet
3. Dvorak layout in hardware (nice to have but not critical)
4. Not ghastly expensive

That's a problem I've seen with cheap Chinese powered USB hubs. You plug them into the wall and your Raspberry Pi and all of a sudden your Pi turns on (even though its power is unplugged) but doesn't boot.
Those are more the exceptions that prove the rule, though. I don't see any other countries with B-2s or other major US weapons systems, unless the US intended it.
This is 2016 and devices have more memory, that's true. But ignoring memory efficiency is ignoring the basic principle of engineering and I see younger folks tend to ignore that more than olders. Having more memory available does not mean that reduced footprints are not better.

I just got started on Python's asyncio. It took me a long time to understand how to get things done, but after about a week of doing small example projects in the evenings, it finally 'clicked'. For the record, I never worked with gevent before, and have only done a small webserver with Tornado a long time ago, so I can't comment on how it compares to other solutions. One thing that made me wait for asyncio is the fact that, despite being experimental, it has a lot more of an "official" feeling to it.

I'm trying to stay away entirely of the Python 3.4 way with coroutine decorators, and am using only await and async in Python 3.5. The async code I wrote has to live in parallel with regular synchronous Python code in a large scientific code base, but migrating our custom database adapter to an asynchronous codebase without breaking old synchronous code was surprisingly easy.

Debugging is, in my opinion, a pain. Stacktraces can be extremely long and very hard to understand. The only profiler that seemed to give useful results was pprofile (in sampling mode). I also still don't fully understand why there's both Futures and Tasks - I probably didn't spend enough time understanding the difference, but that just means the author of this blog post is right. Mixing asyncio with threads and/or processes, however, is surprisingly easy and elegant.

I hope the Python developers will have the courage to break backward compatibility in the asyncio module, and will remove the old yield from and @coroutine way of doing things. That would probably help a lot in reducing confusion. There's still not a lot of information about asyncio when you google for it, so the amount of existing code and examples that that would invalidate would not be too high.

All in all, we are very happy with asyncio. We use it mainly to add concurrency to small sections of our code base. By default, all our code is synchronous, with some heavy I/O-bound functions exposing async versions, too. asyncio allows us to parallelise these sections without the use of a thread pool, and thanks to Futures/Tasks and queues, it's actually very easy to do this in a "streaming" fashion if the order of processing of the outcome of your concurrent tasks matters. Add to that the executors which allow you to run stuff in sub-processes when you're CPU-bound (instead of I/O), and it makes for a fairly solid tool.
The actual quality of the content was pretty horrible tho, or at least tedious.
Agree. I'm looking to spend a surprisingly large amount of money on doubleshot PBT keycaps, because I'm frustrated by the lack of durability that any other type has. Can't finds sets for much below $50, for what amounts to some plastic.
I still prefer Twisted, it feels more natural to me. But this is something that one cannot say aloud in many Python circles.

For Americans, isn't all our income always still taxed in the US?
In Piketty's model, r is return on capital. So that means it's the return on things like equities (and btw, interest is compounding on investments, don't know why you represented otherwise), real estate (Piketty is not overly find of the role of rentiers/landlords in the economy), machinery and so on. So the money accrued by the owners of wealth and machinery that is, essentially passive income, or income generated by capital, is r.

g is the growth of the economy. We calculate it as GDP, what he's interested in is basically people's combined incomes and economic activity that goes with it.

The premise that r > g is saying that people who have wealth, their return on that wealth will always be higher than the growth of the economy. If the economy grows 1%, the return on capital (remember it's all capital in the economic sense) will be more than 1%. Now this isn't true for all years in all places, but it has been shown to be true in the long run, which is how wealth is accrued quicker by those who already have wealth, and how inequality increases. Keep in mind Piketty's book is a massive tome.

And btw, comparing a rate that's calculated as %/year to another calculated as %/year is mathematically correct.

Your example is nonsense btw, it almost seems like you've confused r with g, because interest certainly compounds with capital, whereas with income, while you'll get increases over time, it generally isn't of the same magnitude and relates to labour, of which you have a finite amount.

I so much wish Apple would have integrated E-Ink in their keyboard keys. I was kinda hoping from the leaks it to be true but sad :( Instead of removing function bar and putting in a stupid LCD this would have made more sense. If they were dying to put in an Apple watch display in keyboard they could have done it on trackpad!

Disclaimer: Despite all this Macbook remains my fav laptop, no other laptop including surface compares to integrated experience.
And here I am looking down at my keyboard, which looks like this:

Use latex with git, say on github. You get all those features and more, just with a UI that separates them from the document.

I've collaborated on notes using latex before on github and PR discussions, inline comments, and git collaboration features like branching, descriptive commit messages and diffs, etc. are awesome for productivity.

That said, everyone will need to know how to use latex, git, and GitHub, so gdocs certainly has a simpler workflow.

Agreed. I think scientists and software engineers can really teach each other quite a bit. So I'd love to see a day whereby the phrase is more often used in science to mean making defensible trade-offs rather than achieving basic competency.
Frisco is a northern suburb of Dallas, which is about three hours from Austin or 3.5 hours from Houston. If you're ever flying through DFW (American Airlines hub), this is about 25 minutes from the airport if you can stretch out a layover to four or five hours. There's a lot more interesting stuff to do and see in Dallas/Fort Worth, like the real-life cowboy/cattle stockyards in Fort Worth and many other world class museums.

(Sales pitch: Texas is far more diverse than it is often portrayed: Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all in the top-ten largest cities in the United States.. Houston is the most diverse city in the nation[1] and #4 in size, projected to be #3 before the next census (behind NYC, LA, and Chicago), and all of them are artsy, cosmopolitan cities. There's enough to do in each of these cities to spend a few days checking out just the stuff that interests you, whether it be various art museums, symphony, opera, ballet, science, technology, space exploration, history, etc.)

Burocracy in south Europe is not similar to anywhere in the developed world.
I think a better analogy are all the assistants and apprentices that worked in the larger Renaissance studios. They produced work in the style of the masters, or duplicated their works, but they weren't doing original work, and are mostly forgotten today. Are they doing art? Or are they just craftsmen?
I dint think it's about patronage.. most professional artists today have some form of patronage. I think it's a distinction between how much freedom that patronage gives you to do what you want vs realize someone else's vision.
And a lot of bureaucracy and a complex tax system.

If I wanted to start a business in Europe I'd chose the UK. They are light (for Europe) on regulation and have very simple rules when it comes to running a business according to law. Hell, you can set up your Ltd. in 10 minutes and pay the fees via PayPal.

Try that anywhere in Continental Europe.

I once read one way of getting (sort of) rid of them is by moving abroad and no longer paying. The debt holder won't be able to collect. Then, when living abroad, you negotiate the debt down to 20-25% of the original amount, and you pay that in one lump sum. Result: you saved a ton of money. Doesn't seem too bad of a deal, given near bankrupt companies do this all the time. Financial engineering (or shenanigans, whatever you want to call it) ahoy!

Some very good points, especially on where Clojure sits. I had years of Java before I tried Clojure so probably gave that little thought at the time.

You're right it's probably best to build on what he has. The logic for change was how especially common poor quality info seems to be for PHP. I've seen good code, and even written some, in it too.

I've got a decent set of resources to point him at to build on Python now, so I should find some for php. I'm sure they do exist, great tutorials have come to be for just about everything now. We just have to keep him away from w3schools and similar crap. :)

I'm inclined to give him decent resources for both php and python and go with whichever resonates. He'll soon enough develop his own opinions!

Thanks a lot for your thoughts. Very useful.

elementaryOS seemed to be angling more directly for that market (Ubuntu was always quite Mac-ish, at least up until Unity, but still very much looked to attract a more general userbase - e.g. targeting installers at Windows users, etc.), but I think elementaryOS is probably a bit young to take full advantage right now. They may have gone a little too far on the "simplicity" side for power users coming from MacOS.

With latexdiff (included with your LaTeX distribution) it's really easy to produce "track changes" PDFs. (That's the entire purpose of this tool.) With git it's very easy to checkout the .tex file from an arbitrary commit.

There are even wrappers that integrate this with git, so just "git latexdiff HEAD~5 HEAD" will give you a "track changes" PDF between the current version and the one from five commits ago.

I've used this on complex papers where editors have requested it, and it works fine. Once I had to manually tweak the .tex file produced by latexdiff, but it was a very complex use case (packages added and removed between versions) and pretty easy to fix.
I'm working on some Asyncio stuff right now. Asynchronous programming seems pretty natural to me, but other people do struggle to wrap their heads around somewhat confusing terminology: tasks, co-routines, awaitables, event loops. Underneath the terminology the theory is pretty simple.

And boy is it powerful. If you ever find yourself doing network requests in a loop (for url in list: requests.get(url)) then a small bit of refactoring and a sprinkling of asyncio will speed this up immensely.

But it's not just for network calls, you can `await` on threads and processes. It's a joy and I think it's one of the best things in Python right now.

On the topic of ICRs in the Investigatory Powers Bill, I liked this from the House of Lords debate:

> It is not for me to explain why the Government want in the Bill a power that currently does not exist, because internet connection records do not exist, and which the security services say they do not want but which the noble and learned Lord says might be needed in the future. It is not for me to justify this power; I am saying to the House why I do not believe it is justified. The noble and learned Lord and the noble Lord, Lord Rosser, made the point that this is an existing power, but how can you have an existing power to acquire something that will not exist until the Bill is enacted?
