The problem is you get to choose either a better layout or better keycaps.

My Mitosis has a really great layout but I paid more for non-legended caps so I could get the profile I wanted.

Other people with unusual ergo layouts go with non-sculpted profiles like DSA or SA R3 which I cannot stand.

Or you can go ANSI and get wonderful profiles like MT3 and DSS.

The compromise is to go with a standardized ergo layout like the Ergodox, which I regard as very suboptimal… its popularity stems from its availability and its availability stems from its popularity.
This is the exact opposite of what I want. I want to watch Star trek and on CBS and not pay for 500 CSI like crime dramas, but here I am paying for all the BS again.

I suggested a full-face e-ink tattoo, dynamically reconfigurable. A programmable tattoo. Turn it on. Turn it off. Raise your cheekbones. Add a third eye. Or wrinkles and freckles and a bruise. Turn on some lip gloss and eye shadow. Change your skin tone. Confound image processing. Have some fun.

> If you tattooed your whole face you are basically making yourself more easily identifiable.

Turn it on and off and configure it as desired. E-pigment sits under your skin. Unlike a mask, it's part of you but only when you want it to be. I think this could reduce identifiability.
Riding a motorcycle has made me a better driver in general. On a bike my full concentration is on making sure I don't die. Constantly running through scenarios. What do I do if the car in front of me slams on their brakes? What if the car I'm passing doesn't see me and tries to merge into me? What if there's something on the road and I have to avoid it? These are all things that have happened to me while riding. You have to be fully aware of everything around you when you ride a motorcycle, and for me that has carried over into car driving as well.
I can't see how there's anything wrong with deliberately doing a small production run of something, because if it undersells you're going to lose a lot of money.

Fundamentally these aren't utilitarian items, they're luxuries, and the market behaves as such. Limited editions are totally normal in the art world.
Ah... in religion we call that "gnosticism". (Not really important, it just struck me as something weird to find in a HN thread.)

> no commercials

Anyone who watches Hulu has heard "will play with a commercial before and after the show". Hulu has been increasing the number of ads they include. It used to be ad free for many shows. Then they went to 30 second ads. Now they're stuffing 180 seconds or more on many shows.

> higher quality (arguably) shows

Definitely arguable. My feeling is the quality is going down quite a bit, but I think that's because the demand for content volume has increased (in the era of binge watching, a single TV series is started and over in one weekend).

> Additionally, it’s possible to just subscribe to the one service you really like because they all have a lot of content.

This might be true now. But there are multiple high profile streaming services launching in the next year (e.g. Disney+), which is prompting Disney to pull all content off other platforms.

Current cost of an IPv4 address: $20

Value of product that can be sold per IP address: $5 - $1000/month.

Having worked in an organisation that had millions of addresses, we opted to carry on having a long term sustainable business over selling our IPs for short term gains.

Eventually the addressable market on IPv6 will reach a critical mass. At that point, the value of IPv4 will become relevant to niche markets only.
Best Arduino Clones – Are Arduino Clones Any Good?
Ignoring the superior content quality of streaming services, lack of ads, and on-demand model, having 10 different content streams is still better than one even if only because you have finer grained control over the content you watch. I don't have to pay for a bunch of reality TV, sports, soap operas, infomercials, etc when the only content worth watching is a handful of shows scattered across 5 or 6 channels.
For the overwhelming battery of testing I had before lobeectomy (EEGs, MRIs and CTs of course, but also PET, MEG and SEEG) I'd have never imagined that anybody was doing academic research from a timing perspective. I've subsequently dug into A LOT of the physiological research but this is all new to me. The math is WAY beyond me but the general concept is intriguing.

Netflix has experimented with it. They do product placement still, but the show disjointed has plain commericals. They are a tad unusual for commercials, in that they share the theme of the show.
> Why minus sports content?

For some reason, people really care about live sports.

It doesn't really fit the streaming model.
Also: isn't this way too much soda? ("Soda" meaning sweetened drinks, that make you obese). If you're thirsty, drink water. If water is too bland for you, add cool-aid. Or battery acid.

If I had to work with a colleague like that, I'd quit.
When the product is better (easier, cheaper, higher quality) it's bound to happen.

When Netflix streaming (and Spotify, Steam) became popular it made consuming your favourite content easy, cheap and decent quality.

Now, with so many competing platforms, watching your favourite shows is more expensive and more difficult (having to have loads of accounts and remember which show is where, etc). Piracy will bloom.
Amazon doesn't provide any APIs for querying your non-device Kindle library, so naturally you won't see those books in Calibre.

Remembering is one thing, trying to make them live after death is another entirely.

"Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" has a thing or two to say about it.

"Seek happiness in tranquillity and avoid ambition"

> Why can't this AI idea be just yet another tool at our disposal for memory recall and recollection?

Because death is inevitable, not accepting it is detrimental for one's health and future relationships.

Who said mental ineptitude?

> Most stores of data have possible consequence by their mere existence. What's different here exactly?

That, just like Frankenstein, this is "a deliberate decision" to obtain exactly that goal.

It's not a side effect.

But I agree, I would say the same thing for any other other project having similar objectives.

> it was me - taking 6 Tejava bottles and stocking them into our team's minifridge... if I don't stock up in the morning, there is no Tejava left in the fridge by noon and I have to scavenge ALL surrounding microkitchens in the same building and in ALL adjacent buildings to quench my thirst.

While the article and comments here suggest that one should get outraged by the perpetrator's selfish behaviour and shameless response, it is good to realize the power dynamic here. The stuff is provided by the employer as an advertised benefit. By taking what he needs and defending his actions, he is clearly signalling to the coworkers and to the management that if they want to have cool as-advertised working environment, they should stock the fridge with more stuff. This kind of behaviour empowers the employees and forces the employer to put the action where the words are. Any other interpretation is a mistaken application of socialism in a capitalist enterprise.

In other words, the stuff is provided by employer for every employee there, not for some imaginary community of employees which then should organize and share in socialist way. The company does not want employees to organize.

In a coop enterprise I would agree that this was wrong, but if you're working for capitalists, you should strengthen your power and negotiating position because otherwise the managers will wipe the floor with you.

Boss here: Stocking the kitchen quickly gets out of hand. We cut our monthly spend from 5.5k to 3k by stocking cheaper, less desirable snacks. The popular stuff goes quickly and you can easily spend a ton of money providing them. If you're stocking as much Tejava as the employees want your kitchen budget is going to balloon. $9/day in Tejava for that woman alone. $198/mo in Tejava. That's significant monthly spend on beverages for one employee.

Every expense kills the company. Every dollar is allocated somewhere.
I wholeheartedly agree, but this is a community where I would like to see less politics.

Outside of forums, I am involved in the low scale politics of where I live because, as that one person said, I like to at least have a say in the way I am governed.
There is a big difference between farsightedness and shortsightedness. Optometrists can use eye drops that prevent accommodation for farsighted patients, or they can detect the "plateau" in good vision and take that into consideration for the prescription. No need to wait until your eyes are no longer "fresh" unless you have a really bad optometrist.

You are misusing the word exaggerating. Hypothetical != exaggeration.

By focusing on what you think is an exaggeration as a means of attacking the logic of the person you responded to, you entirely missed their point.

To restate what was already a clear point: even if the supply of drinks was a non-issue, the fact the person behaved so antisocially raises concerns about what other behavior they are willing to justify.

So it's not a direct financial contribution by the government.

I get how fees that appear to be regulatory but are actually from the provider are BS, but we really can't decide if we want flat-fee for everything, a la carte, or packages. The article calls out HD fees and the sports upsell, but Netflix charges extra for 4k, and it's its own sort of package, kinda like HBO or sports, so it's not a solution, it's the same old problem.

Here's my reaction: I just stopped watching for the most part and started doing other things instead.

If I'm not doing something active now and I just want to sit - I read the funny pages (reddit), I read hacker news, I find questions in my mind to research, I play video games, read a book, start a side-project and/or listen to some music.

My wife still watches all sorts of garbage TV and if not for her I'd have cancelled cable a long time ago.
Lots of people saying about moving away from regular TV to streaming, but it depends how I want to watch. Sometimes I want to select an episode and sit down to watch it properly, which streaming is good for. But sometimes normal TV fulfils my needs to drunkenly half-watch a random Top Gear.

> Hulu shows commercials even if you pay.

Hulu has literally half a dozen old shows that they are contractually required to show an ad in front of or take down entirely. The vast, vast majority of users on the service will never see one.

It's a very different scenario to a company actively looking to increase advertising.

I agree. I don't think the earth can support more than about 4B or so people. Our aquifers are drying up and they can take centuries to refill. Or they compress and will never fill again (but maybe new ones will instead). We have no real chance of changing human behavior so it seems like we just need less humans. I'm not suggesting laws but you can remove tax breaks for kids after the second. Have all you want, you just don't get the breaks.

I think the earth is about to strike back and show us who is boss. Clean water, food monoculture, and antibiotics overuse are going to come home to roost and we'll quickly learn what a sustainable population is.
To be clear, this is treating externalities like carbon emissions as a subsidy - IE we should have a massive carbon tax to internalize it. Which from an economics standpoint makes perfect sense, but is not what most readers would consider a "subsidy" and so is a bit of a dishonest presentation.

I agree with the conclusions, but I think presenting it that way tends to only embolden the do-nothing anti-climate-action critics.
These things have become so esoteric and expensive because the mechanical keyboard hobby is undergoing a more intense version of what happens to most hobbies/pastimes; the purpose of the hobby has transitioned from primarily "making/using the thing" to "obtaining and displaying ever more extreme versions of the thing to impress other people who know about the thing".

I feel like this is an outgrowth of the basic human desire to form groups and define an in-group and an out-group; people start a hobby because they are interested in whatever, but after a while there develops an (often arbitrary) right way and wrong way to pursue the hobby, cliques form, and after a while participating in the hobby becomes an exercise in demonstrating that you've bought/made/done the right things and are therefore worthy of being in the in-group instead of the out-group.

I think this is so strong in the mechanical keyboard community because there's not a lot of "there" there; mechanical keyboards are nice to type on, but there's no core competitive activity that they're used for - you're not spending $1600 on a keyboard to improve your typing speed and accuracy 1.2% so you can have a shot at winning the big annual World Typing Tournament in Las Vegas. The mechanical keyboard community feels to me more like the streetwear or sneakerhead community than, say, R/C planes or surfing or whatever.
Trying to answer the question as written:

1. When people discuss politics at work, it is far, far better to say nothing than to say anything that goes against the prevailing politics of your company.

2. There is never a circumstance where you should question any program designed to help groups that your company has deemed are underrepresented, no matter how unfair you feel it is that those same opportunities aren't available more broadly. Not only are these efforts frequently highlighted publicly, they are often lead by VPs with buy-in all the way up the executive chain. There is zero upside here.

The correct approach is to talk to your leader about how you could incorporate similar training/learning into your career plan.
The Chernobyl death toll estimates have been widely criticized as wrong because of the influence of the Soviet government trying to hide the problem. Some estimate the death toll to be at least an order of magnitude higher, and the area is still uninhabitable today many decades later.

Why does the same Malaysia made shirt go up in price 50x if it gets a top brand label attached a opposed to a cheap generic brand one?

This one seems like a stretch. Top brands have a level of quality that is much different than a random Walmart brand. When you get to the differences between a $100 shirt and a $1000 shirt is when you stop finding a large difference. But there is usually a vast difference between a $5 shirt and a $50 one. QA of the shirt, material, quality of the sewing, quality of the printing, type of ink, things like shirt hangers, environment friendly material, fit, type of pattern, etc.
The problem isn't earmarking funds in general. Money has to be allocated somehow and it's good to do so explicitly.

The problem is earmarking or allocating a variable set of revenue as funding for something unrelated, and in particular something unrelated that's otherwise valuable or important.

And NOT earmarking or allocating 'sin taxes' to pay for the supposed costs of those sins, borne by the public in the form of the government, seems pretty stupid (to me) if it's actually necessary or desirable for the government to 'manage' those sins or those sin's consequences.
Quite a lot of developments in the UK - certainly in London - are proposing zero parking.

We had a (now shelved) plan near where I live to build 700 2 & 3 bed apartments in a new development with zero parking spaces in the design. This strikes me as blindly optimistic that of those 700 apartments (that will likely have between 2 or 3 people or more per apartment on average, so somewhere like 1500-2500 people) absolutely none of them will bring car with them... not even spaces for people who need a car for their disability!

I think their usual rationale of being "environmentally friendly" is really wake-washing/cover for wanting to fit in more apartments that sell for £650,000-1,000,000+ each, vs parking spaces which only sell for £25,000 each.

(incidentally is there a word for this willful ignoring of reality, where people basically just keep on repeating the same false/questionable statements as if they were genuine facts over and over regardless of any reasonable evidence to the contrary? E.g. this insistence that something is for environmental reasons when it is clear to everyone that it is not, or the rhetoric politicians keep on wheeling out for e.g. Brexit. I guess "lying"is one word...)

OK Thanks for adding some context!

What I'd do is simply break down the larger pure function into smaller pure functions and sequencing them in the monad.

This way you would still retain purity with your functions but you could log every intermediate step by simply logging their output (and its corresponding input). Would probably make the code more maintainable as well.

From what I understand Haskell has great tooling for function profiling. Unfortunately, I got no experience with these yet so I can't say if they'd help you solve such problems.

Edit: Btw sounds like property based testing might work well as a solution to this kind of problem. It works really well with pure functions.
