When I saw the domain (th(e) reader) next to this post, I for a while thought it was a Google reader clone that's going to be lamenting about it. As in Google Reader was a product people actually wanted but it no longer exists as opposed to Google Stadia. Ah, how much I miss Google Reader to make this weird connection.
I have zero use for the number pad, but looking at this reminds me of how much I'd appreciate having more of the symbolic ascii characters directly available.

Most of them would be of little value to the average end user, but I can't imagine that something like the article's charm table wouldn't be of use to developers - and the people that define the languages they use.

Completely tangentially, I think all keyboard caps should come with braille bumps by default, it would make learning to type easier and come with the added benefit of learning braille by osmosis (which I've always thought would be a bad-ass way to deliver a speech).
It should be clear at this point the www is a not what it was. Honestly the ads could still be 3rd party, but they would just be stored on the same web server as the site. Then the 3rd party would just collect the info from the site instead of directly through the user.

I'm ready to move on. In my eyes we already lost the www.
it's not just you. i am, i think, "that" generation and i have no idea what this is all about. the word "cringe" is overused, we should "cancel" it.
Surprised no-one has mentioned `iperf` on linux [1,2] for what that is worth.

It lets you roll your own speed testing infrastructure basically: Run it as a server on one end you want to test, then run it as client against that server IP/hostname on the other end.

It is very handy for measuring throughput between two boxes in a network (or anywhere for that matter).

Several big ISPs have endpoints for testing it as well for a speedtest like experience [1].

The thing about loans is that they should also be cheaper if you pay them off sooner. I could believe that they should be simple interest instead of compound, but that’ll get to 200% in only a bit longer (50 periods of 2% interest instead of 35), and banks would want higher interest rates on simple interest anyway, making it equal out. Plus, there are many great loan calculators online to use too.
This seems like the most obvious solution... I'm not really sure why they would want to sell it unless it poses some kind of personal risk to them.
Popularizing the bleeding edge of theoretical physics like they do in IAS is hard. The holographic principle is something you can grasp. It's also possible to understand the general concept of duality. But how anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence works and what follows would require more than reading these articles can give.

You could test learning and understanding by making questions based on these articles where answers are not given in text and I doubt that you could answer any of them. Or they could write two articles where one is carefully crafted nonsense and it would be hard to figure out witch one is true.
I like the way z/ctrl works and got used to it. Same goes for / and ctrl on the right side. I meant it as an example of how ergodox squeezes more power into the keys.

I do use the configuration utility, for instance, to make it easier to do screenshots in Gnome. Also included in the configuration, there were firmware updates that fixed an issue where "a" would be repeated intermittently.
World’s First Architecture Capable of 1 PetaOp/S on a Single Chip
I just got an ergodox ez keyboard, it has all the features of the UHK diverging on modules (as the UHK only has one atm, they are on par / ergodox has more keys), a more versatile tenting kit, and an ortholinear layout.

I've changed from the default map and restored the esc key and it doubles as a vim like 'leave layer'. It feels very natural.

As for tilde, I dropped the caps lock key and moved tab downwards to place tilde under esc.

Another option is to layer the key (ie, you have a special modifier key that changes the keys) so mod+tilde = esc. I do this to map my square brackets onto one key.

Overall I'm very happy with it. I've had a steeper than expected learning curve because I used to type with an over dominant wasd centric left hand (FPS gaming), which will apply to some but not most people.

I had an appointment that was billed at $400, if I recall correctly, while one insurance allowed $140 and another $70. That's the total cost, none of which was paid by insurance due to a large deductible. LabCorp I think has been similarly marked down from hundreds to tens, although I don't remember numbers. I don't think it's uncommon to have the official price be multiples of what's reasonable just in case someone might pay it.

A long time ago, I was told that a local hospital automatically gave half off if you paid cash. But that could well be gouging relative to insurance or Medicare.

How Much Cohesion Is Enough?
The NYAG isn’t investigating anything related to a circumstance those people couldn’t see coming.

Finance meme accounts were shitting on the rat infested WeWork for a year now.

These cultists willingly didn’t try to understand. Acting like they were blindsided.
1) You have your own selection bias as we all do. I'm not ignorant to that. However, many of the folks that have gone through similar transformations don't come from "easy" backgrounds. They had their own tragedies (financially, emotionally, etc.) that they had to overcome. Being born into poverty is an excuse to sidestep responsibility of your own life.

2) An outside can't sabotage your own idea. Only you can sabotage it. Sure, it doesn't make it any easier, but if someone can change your mind on your definition of "success" then you will never achieve it.

3) Yes, people spend money on dumb shit. I was in the same environment. Keeping up with the "jones" was a thing. Succeeding was also looked down upon. You know what is consistent with folks who came into success from those areas? They said f-that, I'm going to make my own path, regardless of what others say. They had mental fortitude.

4) My first car cost $2,000. My second car cost $1,000. Both I saved up and purchased. If police are harrassing you about being homeless in a car, then leave that location. That sounds like a police state (Cali anyone?). And before you say "It's not that simple to just leave!" Yes, yes it is. In order to change my situation, I literally "YOLO'ed" across the country (no job, nothing) in order to get out. Much like many in this investment group, in order to get out of hell, you have to make huge bets.

I live in the USA in 2019. I lived in the USA when I was homeless during the height of the recession. It is easier now than it was then.
In the UK, fuel tax raises the price of fuel by almost 80%. Some of that money is used to fund social programs and to good effect.

It’s curious to point out social programs in the context of Iran. I figure the complete economic strangulation imposed on it would be a more obvious cause.
Custom mechanical keyboards are expensive, I would wager the fanaticism is due in part to owners defending their investment. The popularity of reduced keyset mechanical keyboards is, in my opinion, primarily about lowering the BOM cost.

That being said, I'm typing this out on a Logitech K380 which is a 60% keyboard and it's fine. It's Bluetooth and can pair to 3 devices simultaneously, which is literally the only reason I'm using it.

I can never seem to find a keyboard that meets all my needs. Given the popularity of mechanical keyboards, the variety of connectivity options out there, the myriad of keyboard layouts that exist; I think there's a business opportunity for someone to make a modular system of interchangeable connectivity modules and keyboards.
My family is mentoring a young woman that comes from a broken background (was abused, grew up bouncing between foster families). She's trying to do everything right: finishing her GED, getting a job, etc. In addition to support from my family and a few others, she is in a formal program to learn how to budget, and has always been willing to be proactive in finding ways to better her situation.

But every step along the way, the system is fighting her. Most recently, she's in jeopardy of losing two sources of assistance because she's doing "too well" to qualify. With those gone, she'll likely be making less than she was before she had a job.

Our system (in the United States) is seriously fucked up. All of the various programs try to pass the buck whenever they can. The negative feedback loops are overwhelming.
Possibly it's also self-preservation by the people involved. I imagine that even the YouTube developers and project managers hate watching ads. A solution only for them would probably look bad to the outside.

Agreed on learning blackjack. I went to Las Vegas about a month ago and spent the four-hour plane ride trying to memorize some of the pattern in a blackjack strategy chart. I didn't memorize all of the actions for every possible hand combination, but I learned enough to be dangerous (read: enough not to make dumb/obvious mistakes). I ended up quadrupling my money (only a few hundred dollars) and have been playing really well on a blackjack app on my phone.

Practice makes perfect is really the maxim here.
Sadly that is from 2013, I wonder what is the reason it didn't get developed further.

Thank goodness.

This whole exercise was a flawed application of user behavior metrics.

Piss off 0.5% of people here, 0.5% of people there, do that enough times and suddenly you’ve pissed off your whole userbase.

And then they didn’t even seem to consider that maybe those 0.50% of people using that button are clicking that option incredibly frequently.

I wonder how many people inside Google itself complained about the change.

If a feature isn’t difficult to maintain, don’t remove it.

Something else I thought of: the power users who know better probably turn off software analytics and telemetry. I wonder if this affects user experience data sets negatively by only sampling users who aren’t informed on privacy issues.
Using Firefox to evaluate Rust performance is probably not a good idea since only parts of it are written in Rust today.

But it's the first time I hear someone say that Rust is supposedly fundamentally slower than C++. I don't believe this to be a statement that can be substantiated, seeing that some of the fastest programs out there (ripgrep and hyper to name just two) are written in Rust.
Talk to Your Database
What? Who doesn't go "directly" to Labcorp? They have obviously cut costs to the bone, but that makes me nervous. They have basically one person per location who does everything, and I worry that they are too stressed/tired/burned out/disgruntled to do their job right.

I heard something years ago about a medical lab that was just throwing out all their samples and using a simple statistical model to return results. That's what you can get if you are just rewarding efficiency.
I agree that cringe is relative. To me, static-typing proponents usually emit terribly cringy memes. By failing to think categorically, they fail to see that static typing and dynamic typing are two different facets of the same raw computational structures.

I used to consider those discussions as bingo cards, examining each trite argument and carefully constructing responses that would dissemble them. My goal was to try to deprogram folks, to help them realize that there is a world beyond Haskell. I gave up after a uniquely unpleasant experience: A prominent Haskeller gave an extended analogy in public chat about statically-typed and dynamically-typed people. In this analogy, statically-typed people were more reliable, predictable, punctual, thrifty, and just generally better people. And of course they favored statically-typed languages.

Cringe leeds to sneer. It's obvious that the NPCs don't understand what they're saying; they spout the words, but the meanings aren't really there and so they cannot reason about their own slogans. This is contemptible, and so one tribe learns to sneer at another tribe, taking their slogans and twisting them into insults.

I think that sneer leads to sarcasm by default. Nobody can really tell whether somebody is a genuine member of a tribe, or a sneering troll highlighting the cringe of being genuine. Therefore we say two-faced slogans, like "X sucks, use X" and "thanks, I hate it" and "I am so tired of X" to indicate that we dually are members and also sneerers. We are in on our own joke of being serious about things that nobody ought to be serious about.

The tool isn't meant to find all bugs, but rather to suggest that bugs exist. That there exist limitations to the kinds of bugs it can find is probably acceptable.

Also if everyone implements something the same way, incorrectly according to the standard, then perhaps the standard itself is wrong. But otherwise, you just need one compiler to implement more strictly according to the standard for the bug to be suggested

While the worst case is 40% slower (where even C perfored abysmally), most of the time the Rust is within a 10% margin of error, and in quite a few cases it's faster.

I've cooked all kinds of rice with different utensils under many different circumstances. The one trick I've learned is, yes follow the regular rules (rinse, boil, cook on low), except at the 10 minute mark lift the lid and take a quick peek. If it's too dry add a little water. If it's too wet cook with the lid off until it drys out then put the lid back on. (Of course, a good rice cooker does all that for you.)

Or you could just move the mouse with your fingers. Other positives include requiring much less space and not looking silly flailing around. (My preference is maybe 1–2 cm corner-to-corner, with no wrist related issues a couple decades in; and obviously, mouse acceleration is a great idea.)

I conclude that they should just work out the total repayable and be honest and say this is a 70% mortgage. not claim it's 2% but just keep re applying that 2% every month or week or day as they see fit.
"...I believe a one-time fee for software is fundamentally unsustainable..."

It is pretty much sustainable. Except few natural cases SAAS is just a wet dream of vendors trying to have constant revenue stream the easy way.

If software needs support/new features you pay for upgrades. Or not if the old version works just fine for you. In my case I use tons of software for which I only paid once (sometimes I pay for upgrades as well). If I had to pay monthly fee for each title I use I'd be spending insane amount of money.

True. I am simply looking for a compiled not-far-away-from-C++ levels of performance language, plus one with the least amount of pitfalls / gotchas / WTFs to avoid. So far Rust seems to hit a sweet spot, although its style (procedural) and syntax leave much to be desired.

That's what I keep hearing but here on HN periodically do pop up some benchmarks that show Rust being stomped.

But oh well, most benchmarks aren't pure or non-opinionated so there's that as well.

So far I like Rust quite a lot but -- as I said in another sibling comment -- its procedural style and syntax aren't stellar, in my eyes at least.

Agedu – Find Out Wasted Disk Space in Linux
When I was in my mid-20s I could also eat anything I wanted, and a big challenge for me was finding pants that were long enough (36” inseam) but also had a narrow enough waist. This was pre-internet, so the options were limited (I discovered early that Big & Tall stores required you to be both).

Fast-forward 20-ish years, and I’m still just as tall but I don’t have any problem finding pants that fit me. Sigh.
