Only if you can find them with the labeling like you have your keyboard set up. It's the reason I switched away from Ergodox. If only someone would offer high quality custom keycaps, with double or triple labeling, using actual double shot injection moulding - which of course is pretty much impossible... But I'd pay $200 for a high quality key cap set that I can customize, so that I could have a printed Ergodox keycap set that isn't hand-labeled.

Excellent write-up!

Btw, in modern spoken German we mostly only have two tenses left: present and perfect. Present is used for the present and the future. Perfect (formed with 'haben') is used for past events.

(Yes, we also still use other tenses. But they are much rarer in spoken German.)

And especially in spoken questions about things people did or didn't do, an auxiliary verb (like "haben" or "sein") is almost mandatory.

It's telling how you call the website "terrible", and then proceed to do exactly what it does: give a basic, factual explanation why floating point math does not behave as people naively expect.

No, it is not hard to understand, but it is not obvious, and in fact counterintuitive to most people. Which is why there is a need for a website like this for people to refer to intead of the Goldberg paper which is great if you actually need to do error propagation analysis on your numeric algorithm but which does not give this basic explanation and is therefore not suitable to be cited to people who are suprised that 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3

So please explain to me how referring to the Goldberg paper as "long article with lols of formulas" is anything but factually correct and a good reason to provide an alternative?

If I'm understanding this correctly, it's only first party tracking in that it comes from a subdomain of the domain of the website you are browsing. But that subdomain points at a third party tracking provider. So this still seems like a single tracking provider on multiple website being able to correlate your browsing.

I did not said the message is anti-violence. For that matter, Hollywood is not anti-violence either. These old stories portrait of violence is less glorifying then what Hollywood or superhero does. The tragedy of events is actually shown, unlike in superhero movie.

I said "nuanced" and "better at making you think" which is something completely different. One big reason why it is better at making you think is that it is not having simplistic singular message I am supposed to learn so that I feel like the movie had proper message.

If anything, I would compare it to Westworld or game of thrones, neither of which is Hollywood and neither of which is super simple message of "violence is bad".

"Part of that goes to the interest on the loan, the rest goes to principal."

That's only one kind of mortgage though - for a while there were mortgages available in the UK where you only payed the interest on the principal but you also payed into a separate saving scheme with the idea that when the latter matured it would pay off the former.

No idea if these are still available, but for a while in the early 1990s you used to get a very hard sell on them - we had one for a five years or so. In reality they are a terrible idea as you are paying interest on a non-decreasing principal which is a shockingly bad idea and then there is the risk of the saving scheme performance as well.

Edit: Of course you got a hard sell on them as they were clearly a terrible idea from the borrowers perspective but were far more profitable than a normal mortgage for the lender.

It means that every conjugation of an active verb has a corresponding passive form, as in your link: esąs - buvęs - būsįas versus esamas - būtas - būsimas . But that's underselling it a bit, because Latin actually had a full 3-dimensional matrix of conjugations: time-based tense (past, present, future), goal-based tense (completed or ongoing), and action (active or passive), with accompanying participles for each case. To compare with your link, I notice Lithuanian seems to lack passive participles ("while being beaten" is the corresponding example), while keeping some of the circumstantial conjugations (frequency, intent, necessity, conjunct phrases) that older languages did have, but Latin did away with.

In more analytical languages, most of these constructs have been replaced with auxiliary verbs (as in English: I see versus I'm seen, I'm watching versus I'm being watched). With full conjugations, entire sentences can change in tense or action without affecting word order. This may not seem that special if your native language is like that, but as the OP started out saying, it allows for much more expressiveness in (predominantly written) language.

Hey, I'm the co-founder of Qonversion.io.

The problem
It's challenging to run marketing for a mobile app that offers a subscription.

Subscription related events like a conversion from trial to paid user, renewal, or cancellation are happening on Apple/Google side. You have to validate the receipt of a user with Apple/Google to get the data, and you need a complex backend for that.
Once you get the data, it's hard to process it to get to users' LTV, CAC, and other crucial marketing parameters.

Our solution - Qonversion.io:
- gets the subscriptions' data from Apple/Google
- provides real-time dashboards to track subscription performance
- sends subscription data to advertising accounts and third-party analytics (Facebook Advertising, AppsFlyer, Amplitude, Mixpanel etc.)
- provides LTV and CAC analysis to drive your marketing (this feature is being tested with a limited number of users now).

Tracking and sending events to third party analytics is free up to $100k in monthly tracked revenue. Sign up in November to get free 6 months of LTV/CAC insights when it's rolled out of the beta.
Any questions, please do comment!

As someone who uses IntelliJ all day long I couldn't use a 40% keyboard at work due to all the layering combinations needed for F1 -> F12.

However I did try for a while, and the best I've gotten to is remapping my Caps Lock key to a meta key that converts hjkl to my arrow keys.

It's a small step, but I haven't looked back since. Typing is SO much faster when you never have to leave the home row.

None, although there is a difference in the levels of my disbelief. I always try to check multiple sources and if it is possible multiple languages too. I do think many journalists, particularly in online news, let themselves be inspired by each other or just copy press releases from large agencies. Not their fault, it is mostly because of economic pressure, but this is the current reality.

But even the news sources I trust most are prone to errors. We also have a lot more opinion pieces. I like to read them too, but along many papers you can see a lot of uniformity, even if the authors at least try to hide it in subtext. That can undermine trust in news publications because I believe this to have an influence on general reporting.

I might start even simpler than that - learning how to understand the three basic financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) and how they interrelate. This is super helpful in any job and in managing personal finance because understanding the statements provides a framework for understanding the dynamics of money (for example, understanding depreciation reminds you that the new car you just bought is declining in value, while the interest on your car loan is an expense).

Java was dire. It could have been much better when released - though granted it was designed for embedded originally, but it was then arguably mis-sold.

Performance was avoidably bad in some parts of the libraries.

I recall a major rewrite of some product being started then killed because performance sucked (surely much better now, but things took far too long to change).

Memory behaviour was not fixed until java 5:

"The original Java memory model, developed in 1995, was widely perceived as broken, preventing many runtime optimizations and not providing strong enough guarantees for code safety"

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_memory_model)

I'd also like to add Brinch Hansen's heartfelt lament

"If programmers no longer see the need for interference control [in java's threading] then I have apparently wasted my most creative years developing rigorous concepts which have now been compromised or abandoned by programmers"

Per Brinch Hansen, Java's Insecure Parallelism - SIGPLAN Notices, April 1999

Think of this as SSR for adverts/trackers. The harvested data is still going to 3rd parties, even if your browser connection(s) aren't.
How to Use the Ps Command to Monitor Linux Processes
This is about 3rd party trackers masquerading as the 1st party by asking the hosting page to provide a CNAME under their own domain. With the tracker hosted under the 1st party's domain, they work around people that deny 3rd party cookies.

The example at the top of the thread: https://www.liberation.fr/ has a tracker from f7ds.liberation.fr, which is really part of tracking provider Eulerian.

f7ds.liberation.fr. 3599 IN CNAME liberation.eulerian.net.

TL;DR - the entire point of this is to let 3rd parties continue to correlate your identity by hiding as part of the 1st party.
I've lived in places ranging from 20k to big cities. All base necesseties were in walking distance where I lived in the cities, and mostly in the smaller places as well.

The thing with smaller places is that you can generally get like 80% of what you need locally, but on occasion you have to go a few towns over or into the nearest city to get that 20%. So you can easily live in a city w/o a car, but it's substantially harder to do so in smaller places.

The problem is that you need to be able to touch type, but also know how to not touch type, i.e. actually knowing what character is where, when entering passwords, regular expressions etc. I can touch type, but I have no idea where all the individual numbers are; I have to type 'in the air' to make my muscle memory explicit. When entering something character by character, you can't really 'touch type' them; touch typing is about operating at an abstraction level above 'character by character'.

Where and how to become a self-taught designer/developer (and many other areas)
In my opinion some of the punishments used in antiquity were far more rational than those of today. Prison as a punishment did not exist, because anyone would have considered it stupid to pay money for housing & feeding a felon.

For theft and other forms of damage that are not irreversible, the deterrence was achieved not by threatening with prison, but by forcing the guilty person to pay a multiple of the value of the stolen goods or of the damages.

The multiplying factor varied from country to country. Where laws were less severe, a thief had to pay double or maybe quadruple, but where laws were more severe a thief had to pay ten times the value of what he had stolen.

So even today this would be a better punishment. Nobody has any advantage if someone who has stolen 10 million goes to jail, but if he had to pay back at least 20 million, then that would be real deterrence.

In antiquity, those who could not pay back the required amounts risked to become slaves, a method which would not be applicable today. Nevertheless, in the present society where it is almost impossible to hide, it should be easier to enforce payment without such extremes.
I agree they explain basic concepts in an easy and accessible way, but there are a lot of missing pieces intentionally omitted.

Don’t excessively mutate the DOM. Here’s what you should do instead
There's actually a technique for this!

Two people stand about 4' apart, and take turns asking personal questions. Start simple and ramp up, like from "What is your favorite color?" to "Who did you like better, your Mother or your Father?". Move to "Have you had a friend pass away, and how did that affect you?", "Are you happy with your life?" and so on.

Try to answer truthfully, and pay close attention to your partner's body language, facial changes, voice quality. Empathize silently using the same.

After 10 minutes, normal folks feel a closer bond. Unreasonably closer.
> but the terms sheet doesn't quarterly earnings doesn't lie

There's an old saying that "profit is an opinion". It's harder to lie about revenue, but profit and loss can be adjusted by any number of accounting tricks that are perfectly 'legitimate'. Even auditors can miss the less-legitimate tricks.

A company might want to seem less profitable for for tax-reasons or because it's in a profit-sharing agreement (see Holywood Accounting). Or it might want to seem more profitiable to seem more stable (see Carillion and Interserve in the UK).

Reading a quarterly account does give a certain perspective on the health of a company, but quarterlies can be spun agressively by the company too.

Weed does open the eyes to how much more relaxed you can be, both emotionally and physically: turns out that normally I have muscles tense that I never even knew about.

After that, you begin listening to your body and the brain more, and to track the state of them both instead of taking it for granted. That's how the way to ‘mindfulness’ starts. You learn that the two states are in a feedback loop: if you're tense, you get angry and anxious, which gets you more tense. To break the loop, you could of course hit a blunt, but that's not always an option, or at least not always the best one. Alternatively, you can take some time to free the brain from being hung up on the worries and to free the body from being contorted by tenseness.

I cringe slightly when I see people designing mechanical keyboards like this [1]. That's a great "standard" layout! It's split, it still has space around the arrow and navigation keys to aid finding them by touch, and the numpad is on the left.

But there's a 1.5cm (or so) tilt on the thing! Removing that is always the first thing any ergonomics guide instructs, but here it's a fixed part of the case.

Many DIY split ergonomic keyboards either have many tenting/tilting options, or are flat allowing you to make your own [2].

Follow the money. If you can't see a person's motivations (esp. a politician), watch the result of their actions and assume that the outcome was their motivation and tell them that. Practically it doesn't matter whether they intended for that outcome to occur or not, because you still have to bear the consequences. If they predict the undesirable outcome, they should alter their behaviour. If the same behaviour repeatedly maps to the same outcome regardless of who is doing it, judge the person on the outcome. Drunk driving laws work like this.

> If she finds his treatment report worthy she should visit almost any county jail in America and write a report. I'm seriously not being flippant. If people genuinely find this kind of treatment disturbing and inhumane then they should know it is befalling daily many of their over 2 million incarcerated American brothers and sisters.

Did you miss the part where Assange went through all this trouble to not go to Sweden because there was the POSSIBILITY of him being extradited to the US end ending up in that prison system?

Yes he could have also done nothing and run the very real risk of ultimately getting the worst treatment that you enact upon your brothers and sisters. But that is the whole thing he was trying to avoid.

If in the process of that, he was exposed to "severe forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the cumulative effects of which can only be described as psychological torture", which MAY or MAY NOT be worse than the US prison system (which is a pretty low bar to clear and pretty bad either way), then yeah he pretty certainly has a case to be made in the parts of the world where we pretend to treat human beings with dignity.

The entire point was to not end up in the clutches of the US, so if your point was "if you think that's bad, look at the US", then here's a big WELL DUH for you ...
