And this is the keyboard!

At my first job I spent two years coding on a Hello Kitty keyboard. First meant as a joke for newcomers, I got so used to it that I didn't want to change it. I finally gave it up when I switched from a desktop workstation to a laptop.
That's true, but it did figure out the locomotion for you no matter what way you designed it. I ran into very few creatures that couldn't move.

It's pretty primitive if you go back and play it, but the locomotion system is something I haven't seen in any other game.
Yes, I do. I had lenses with cylinders (for correcting it) in the past and didn't like them. They're larger and asymmetric - the lower side must be heavier so that they always align correctly on your eye.

With not-so-bad astigmatism, you can get away with not correcting it in your contact lenses. That's what I currently do. It works okay and brings you to a good level of vision (1.0 here in Germany, probably 20/20 in the US).
No? Where do nuclear grids usually get black start capacity?
If it helps to think of Calibre as a "toolkit," then, instead of a single monolithic app, I'm all for it.

It's funny, if they released a version of Calibre that had only the bins you mentioned and omitted the GUI entirely, it would probably be held in much higher esteem among the HN community.
People committed these crimes before encryption and they'll find a way to commit them after encryption. Being against E2EE means trading your privacy and security but it won't stop these crimes from occurring.

I can't speak for the parent, but my feeling about it is that I don't like food pretending to be other food. So yes, serve me up a mushroom burger or a falafel burger, or a winter black bean and kale burger. But if the menu says simply "veggie burger" then there's a pretty good sign that it's an imitation and not made from whole food.

Now, none of this is implying that the veggie meal should be a "bland plate of veggies", rather it's that there are whole cuisines out there with delicious plant-based meals that have stood the test of time. If I'm eating vegetarian, I want one of those meals, not a meat meal with the meat swapped out.
> this is rather "transpiling" to C, right?

Yes, my bad.
Love this book. I decided to make a career change about six months ago, found this book, and started learning Python. Over the past six months I've built four apps (after learning JS and a couple different frameworks), and have multiple interviews lined up for back-end roles.

For anyone interested in possibly writing an intro book (or some such material) in the future, here are a beginners thoughts on what makes this a good read:

(1) Heavy use of code examples, with accompanying explanations. For myself, at least, I learn a lot through examples, and seeing so many examples of functioning code was very beneficial. The explanations are easy to grasp, without dumbing the material down.
Moroever, the examples are integrated with the flow of the material presented (so never arbitrary) and many build on each other as the chapters progress.

(2) Functions are presented before lists.

(3) He takes time to provide clear, precise, and deep definitions and explanations of the concepts. There is a near-philosophical exactness (like the exactness of analytical philosophy) in the descriptions.

(4) Formatting and organization. There was never a time where I felt lost as to where I was, where I was going, or where prior material was. Skim the book yourself to see the myriad ways it formats and presents the material to make study easy on the reader.

(5) The number of exercises/problems at the end of each chapter.
If you say no, then you're arrested for contempt of court or similar.
not necesarily, but the two things can be correlated.
I so want to get into mechnical keyboards but most of my work is done on a 2015 MacBook Pro and I'm so efficient with the large trackpad - I rest my palms on the laptop and can reach everything with just a pivot of the wrist. I tried the Magic Trackpad, but I kept having to move my forearm and it just slowed me down too much.

What kind of mouse or trackpad is everyone using with these $xxx - $xxxx keyboards?
And if you are hit while driving the wrong way, is it also because someone wasn’t looking? The lane splitter did something they knew was illegal (in the jurisdiction in question), why should I be on the lookout for illegal behavior?

From even a practical standpoint, if I’m on a motorcycle, I know that I’m at an increase risk of injury. Why wouldn’t I be more careful?
8x is about 90% of an order of magnitude (calculated via log-base-10 of 8).
Bicyclists suffer political disability under [typical US] traffic laws. Bicyclists are not afforded a full traffic lane when traveling. Bicyclists are prohibited from the highest quality roads. Bicyclists are required to ride on the shoulder. Even the best laid bike lanes don't give cyclists the right of way. Many many bike routes are shared with pedestrians.

Motorcyclists on the other hand enjoy first class status under typical traffic laws.
It's almost as if 'Modernism' refers to a specific (albeit vaguely defined) style, and not to the property of being new itself.

They're not ranting against semiconductors or antibiotics (both also relatively modern), are they?
"just works" is different than works in ideal conditions or special proprietary adaptors.
Which is a good argument for not using your ISP's DNS either, but those are not the only two options.

One of the better alternatives is to get a VPN you trust that puts multiple users behind the same IP address and then operate your own recursive DNS from behind there. The VPN service itself could still log your queries, but at least they have plenty of competitors, and you chose one you trust, right? Or if you don't want to trust any one party, use Tor.
This is a pretty worthless article. I can set up OpenSMTP in 10 minutes, and I bet it is more performant, stable, and well designed despite suffering from the lack of “coolness” that Node.js undoubtably excels at /s

Maybe there is some compelling reason to use Haraka, but I wouldn’t know, because the author doesn’t seem willing to bother actually writing a post that contains any non-trivial information.

Moreover, the title is misleading. I was hoping it would be about implementing a simple SMTP server (though 20 minutes is a little tight for that I suppose), which actually would have been interesting, unlike this article.

The last section is really precious: “What would you create with Haraka?”

Oh I dunno, a mail server? I wasn’t aware that email was such a novel and innovative technology that I needed a prompt in order to even consider the infinite possibilities.

Looking at this guys other post, it almost seems like some blog spam MTurk job.. His articles are very short and very bad. One is a summary about graphene, with all the facts lifted off wikipedia, another is about how to use a geolocating service (lemme guess, you make a GET request to their api?), and one is basically about how to create a Digital Ocean droplet..
> "Facebook should somehow manage to block these ads in the first place, preferably as immediately and automatically as possible"

Nobody said that. Here Facebook know it's false but does nothing against it. It's not a question of efficiency at all.
Wow, so the author basically suggested to use the auction to sell the keyboard at $1668 instead of $500 because it’s not market clearing price? That’s borderline evil
> In such situation paying 89 days late is perfectly reasonable. Nothing bad about it.

huh? What about the contract you agreed to when you took on the service that says you'd pay within 30 days (or whatever). I really don't understand the logic that says as long as you're willing to accept the consequences, it's ok/moral. It's one thing to have extenuating circumstances that force someone to choose between two bad choices, but to say that there's nothing bad about ignoring the due date on your bills just doesn't make sense.
CCTV just means the video feed is not broadcast publicly. Cameras can be as good as you're willing to pay.

There is now. Prepare to have your bags checked, and hotel rooms inspected at least once, if not multiple times per day. It's a ludicrous settlement, and I'd love to see an explanation from the judge(s) that let the suit(s) proceed instead of throwing it out.

The whole situation in America at this point is you're liable for anything and everything that could be connected to you (and definitely if it's on your property), but it only matters if you have assets you can have taken from you. So better hope you're big enough to protect yourself as much as possible with a team of lawyers.

I've seen that, it doesn't really clarify whether the block singles out cloudflare in particular, or whether cloudflare is the only (significant) DNS resolver that the block happens to affect.
See my original comment about attack surface. Given the correct set of circumstances, transmitting the IV in the clear with CBC could possibly open you up to chosen ciphertext/plaintext attacks. And you better be doing encrypt-then-prepend-IV-then-MAC with CBC. Just a lot of gotchas that may or may not be relevant, depending on your environment.

Also, I drift corners instead of braking, it seems to be a lot faster if you nail the tire orientation on the exit.

Fair point. As the old saying goes "looser is faster". The risk, of course, is that you wind up in the wall with your velocity = 0. :-)
Keyboard.io is one of the nicest pre-built ones.

You can fully customize the layout of the Keyboard.io and get blank keycaps https://community.keyboard.io/t/whats-the-latest-info-on-key...

You can get a barely used one for ~250 just watch their forums.

I've got one 1-2 months ago after playing with a Kinesis. The keyboard is really nice. The firmware and software ecosystem around it is powerful but still lacks usability (you write plugins in C although they have a really nice graphical interface to configure it). https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope
None of this is correct, except that solar and wind are intermittent, and there are a lot of new gas stations being built, but mostly not because of renewables. Well, and in Antarctica you actually do need to bridge seasonal intermittency; McMurdo isn't going solar anytime soon.

So, the solution you proposed is exactly what the moderators asked to do. Seems fair enough to me. They were told that not playing the pronoun game is the same as harassing whomever they are speaking to.

The whole situation is ridiculous to me. How have we come to a point where not only do people think I care in the slightest who or what they have sex with (or don't, whatever), but they demand I call them by some word they made up to classify themselves as something? Don't tell me what I can or can't say, and I wont tell you who/what you can and can't screw.

How do fascists not realize they are being such? "You don't have proper thoughts on matters so you aren't allowed to speak".
Here's the thing about statistics: the effect doesn't need to be seen across everyone. If 50% of people with low cognitive skills experience high income volatility, but only 20% of people with high cognitive skill do, then you'd get results consistent with this "study"
> What if you're 99% sure someone doesn't know what they're talking about

I hate this. I can't convince colleagues that they are wrong. And I can't push too hard as long as I'm not 100% sure. So I have to make their work for them just to proof them wrong. I think it is not a good investment to aim for 100%, at least where I work.
Is the current system is so badly architected that it cannot be refactored gradually or rewritten piecemeal? Then the forces which caused these problems will also be in effect during the rewrite, so it will end in the same place when it reaches feature parity.

I can only think of a few places where a full rewrite is justified:

* You lost the source code

* The application is almost purely integration with some 3'rd party platform or component, and you need to replace that platform. (E.g. you are developing a registry cleaner and need to port it to Mac)

* You don't have any customers or users yet and time-to-market is not a concern.

* You are not a business and are writing the code purely for your own enjoyment

But these are business level considerations. For individual developers there may be compelling reasons to push for a rewrite:

* You find it more fun to work on green-field projects than to perform maintenance development.

* The new platform is more exciting or looks better on the CV than the old
There's writing aimlessly, and then there's successfully writing a coherent book. The latter is very difficult.
That sounds incredible! Please don't do this over SMS though.
Once it's known that a person has money, they will be hounded by scam artists, thieves, and people that just want money for nothing. After awhile, it's not surprising that they get defensive, which can be seen as being 'mean'.

This entire article is painting rich people as assholes. This seems to be a common theme, especially on the Internet. If I'm painted as a rich asshole long enough, I will just become one.

I'm not rich, but I make a good living. I've had family members try to take advantage of me and just assume I should pay for X or Y because why not, I have extra money..right? I'm seen as the asshole for refusing.

A nice, rich person will eventually become a poor person because too many people in this world will try to take advantage of them.

That may not be optimal for the site, though. Many users will leave a site before it reaches the level of violent threats.

The goal of moderators (on most sites) is neither to maximize speech nor to protect people's feelings. The goal is to keep people engaged with the site, and that of necessity means balancing the people who wish to be annoying with those who will leave when their annoyance gets too high. That gets the maximum engagement, which usually goes hand in hand with maximum revenue.

Even on sites whose goal is divorced from revenue, many will find that Gresham's Law of Comments applies: bad speech drives out good. Hate speech tends to drive away people from the topic at hand, because people respond to hate speech as if it were a threat, even if it isn't immediately physical violence. Responding to that dominates the conversation, and then people interested in the original conversation leave.

Good user controls can help, but ultimately a site must keep its eye on the bottom line. You may have a hard time distinguishing hate speech from valid political speech, but users know when they're not enjoying the site, and leave. It's up to the site's designers to pick their target audience and encourage them to stay. And if that target audience is "everybody, including people who want to engage in hate speech", they may find that "nobody, except people who want to engage in hate speech" is what they end up with. Which may well be what they want, but for those who don't, they need to recognize that and take steps.
Why should the bar be so high? These are private forums, after all. If I don't want someone who exhibits antisocial behavior in my community, I shouldn't have to allow it.

The situation needs to be understood more deeply to make sense of it - one of the reasons that the well-off put in less effort is because they are exposed to a slightly more honest perspective on how useful effort is.

Raw, undirected effort does not do much. Effort needs to be deployed in a time, context and circumstance dependent way to yield results. The correlation between effort and outcomes is only because seizing an opportunity requires effort. So if there are several people in an obviously opportunity-rich environment, the ones who expend more effort to seize them will prosper more.

There are two questions; the first is does the environment present opportunities? A poor child in Africa with Ebola no doubt has less opportunities than a healthy one born into a wealthy western banking family. The second questions is what does opportunity look like? Many modern problems exist because people are simply blind to the opportunities that surround them.

The interplay of those two questions is beyond complex and has so far resisted any one-size-fits-all solution to the human condition.

I never thought about it before but that's exactly what corporations are meant to be: "personhood"s that think only in economic terms. People get lazy and they run out of greed once they become millionaires and they want abstract things like love or popularity.
Social mobility and educational success (at least in the UK, where educational attainment compared to background is one of the starkest in the western world) is intrinsically linked to your parents income.

Even rich kids playing on easy mode still do much better - kids with wealthier parents who do less well academically, still tend to go on to earn more later in life than poorer kids who do better [0]

I've put stints in at charities in this space, and there are people who care and trying to move the needle, but there are mountains to climb on this issue.

Improving education for kids from poorer backgrounds is one of the main ways we can solve the issue. One issue we face though is the anecdata brigade rolling out the "I did this and I only have half a GCSE in woodwork". A lack of aspiration as a result of background familiarity, and an acceptance of mediocrity from society and even some working in education are key things.

Key word there being "might." It could also be that the new thing is way better than the old thing. Being traditional does not make something right. After all, slavery has been around for probably tens thousands of years, and only in the past few hundred has the common moral fabric largely agreed that it is a Bad Thing.
Can't they just not buy it? Lots of cheaper alternatives out there. Seems no different than a fancy watch or pen.
"Machines are taking control of investing..... Funds run by computers that follow rules set by humans"

If the rules/algorithms are set and monitored by humans, the humans are the ones ultimately responsible. Computers are just tools which provide greater utility and control for investors than ever before.

That comes with its benefits and also with its potential downsides, but does not lessen from the fact humans are ultimate responsible.
The counter argument I've heard to that is that there is no such thing as an unbreakable lock. If someone is doing something illegal in a building, the government can eventually get in. Strong encryption is effectively unbreakable, and basically free for anyone to use. Trying to make a faciliy even remotely as secure is going to take millions of dollars because you need to not only secure the lock, but the entire facility has to be hardened.
