I've remapped the top left button to be escape in the normal mode ('layer' I think it's called in the UHK), I use shift to get the tilde, and I hardly ever use the backtick - I think I have it mapped somehow but not sure.

I've been a hardcore vim user for 20+ years and this is the least of all potential problems, so if this is what you're worried about, don't be.

Function keys - it took me a while to get the keycombos into my muscle memory, basically it takes the extra modifier that the UHK has to access them. What I used to use them most often for was in Visual Studio (start debugger, run, build, that sort of thing), but what I ended up doing was basically hard-coding all those commands into a custom 'layer' of the UHK, so that (even with standard key bindings in the software) I have more logical (less chording) keys to do all those things. The main advantage is that I no longer have to contort my hands to do things like shift ctrl f5. I haven't had to re-learn bindings or manually remap keys in software for years.

For things like 'rename' in explorer.exe (F2), so things that I do really a lot, it only took a couple of days of practice to get used to the extra modifier. I did spend the time to set up AutoHotKey to do some other types of global hotkeys (open keypass or other often used software, some accented characters, that sort of thing) but that wasn't too bad.

Still, if they'd make a version with an additional function key row, I'd buy it in a heartbeat; not having them I consider a trade off for all the other good stuff (split, solid build quality, printed caps, tiltable, mechanical keys)

In terms of build quality, I like it as much as the ErgodoxEZ; I hope they'll finally come through with the extensions (only 4 years delayed...) because the thing I miss most from the Ergodox are the thumb clusters. The wooden hand rests are getting stained after 2+ years of use, but for the rest they're nice. I had firmware problems at the very beginning but that seems to be OK now. I wasn't very impressed with the support I got with those issues, it was basically first 'try unplugging and plugging back in' and then 'it works for me'. But it got there in the end after a few new versions of the firmware. The 'use the keyboard as a mouse' is a gimmick, I don't understand why they make that a core selling point in the UHK marketing. All in all, it's the best keyboard I can find that still uses somewhat standard keycaps (my reason for never trying a keyboardio; I've tried many others apart from that one).

After a few years of also failing like this I combined learning touch typing with switching to Colemak, and that finally made it stick (though ruining me for normal qwerty, but it was worth it). It takes a while though and there will be a really frustrating period when you can’t type either qwerty or Colemak.
I remember having to write a small TODO program for an interview. I generally don't do frontend too much and the time limit was really tight.

So I made a simple TODO in like 30min. Naturally part of this is my familiarity with jQuery, the other is, for a small application jQuery is really great. I had a nice UI in no time.
Thank you for the peer-base link. I've been investigating data storage on IPFS for application interop and I love the idea about using an existing library rather than re-inventing one. I will definitely be taking a closer look at this project.
And also, the effects of weed do not appear to be temporary. I still get the benefits (minus the drawbacks) hours and days after the last joint.
That said, I can and do get 200mbps+ on fast.com (my preferred/goto speedtest), and still experience constant buffering and the "sorry we can't play that video right now" message that kicks me out but then just clicking play again works.

I'm not saying it's their servers or network, but I haven't found a reason for it based on my fast.com results.

Frankly, that's your problem, not mine as a consumer. If I want to give you feedback, I'll let you know. You could always ask me, too.
Here's something you can learn in less than an hour:

Most retail "investing" is really just skimming money from workers and giving it to shareholders.

Real jobs-and-opportunity-building investing isn't particularly encouraged by the markets. It's much easier to make money with various techniques that rely on the political manipulation of asset prices - like property, stocks, crypto, and corporate image - than by actually doing and making useful things at a reasonable price.

Which is why stock is such a contentious issue in the startup world. The operating rule is that you don't share profit with ordinary workers unless it's unavoidable.

Ideally if you're a funder you don't even share it with founders. That's more challenging to organise and happens less frequently, but if you're a founder it's naive in the extreme to assume you'll be spared any attempts to make it happen.

I’m always amazed when the “change your own oil” option comes up in these discussions as it’s a very classic example where having specialized tools s and doing it a lot really speeds you up. And it’s a dirty job without a lot of intellectual interest. Further you can get it done for you in 10 minutes for approaching minimum wage.

Unless you work on your car for fun and have things like a lift sitting around it seems like a fairly useless thing to do yourself.

I’m sorry to hear that. The defense companies I’ve worked for, big and small, have fought to retain employees. Whether it be the end of a contract or just wanting to change the type of work you are doing, these companies fought to find you another position versus taking your clearance to a competitor.
2019 in late 1950s was approximately "forever". Remember, Space Odyssey filmed 10 years later was taking place in 2001, already 18 years ago. We are that far in the future.
I am undecided on it since I am not in the C++ ecosystem for a long time now, and I am just a beginner in Rust. I get the message there are ways to write suboptimal (in terms of performance) code in Rust as well but I also keep hearing there are much less ways to shoot oneself in the foot, which works very well for me.

Truthfully, even if Rust can be 2x-5x slower than C++ somewhere, I'll still choose it as my static-and-strongly-typed / compiled-to-machine-code language regardless. Least WTFs per minute is my most important metric.

But I am open to see any and all benchmarks which show both strengths and weaknesses of Rust. So far I sadly haven't seen many of them (but I've been mightily impressed by `actix` in the TechEmpower benchmarks!).
I don't see how you could actually come up with new stuff in PLT without a very heavy math background, specifically in logic. I mean it's not impossible just extremely unlikely.

This is the kind of question that would compel the grandparent to feel the way they do. Although, to me, it may be a bit of hyperbole. Or maybe some not completely unjustified paranoia.

If we observe an example where we a step back from the severity of judicial repercussions of a post or comment and look at it socially. We could use the "cancel culture" ideology; where you could write something naively and be ambushed by a group that thinks your thoughts are wrong.

I am also assuming Grandparent is in a western country. There are other parts of the world where you could have contributed to an online community and later have whatever subject it was about outlawed. Thus exemplifying gp's idea.

And on a side note I felt cringey writing my response. Whatever that means.

Tell the other inhabitants what you're doing and tape over the breaker with a note saying to see you before it's turned on.

Sure you could stick a padlock clasp on the breaker box but when your job-site has a number of people you can count on one hand a note will have 99.99999% of the same benefit and if they're trying to recklessly kill you all a lock does is buy a little time.
> “Our best day is their worst day,” said Bernard Theisen, a senior GVSC engineer, “because we’re going to go in assuming no comms, potentially no GPS, and the terrain that was there yesterday may not be there today.” A dirt road may be washed out by flooding in a disaster relief operation, for example, or cratered by roadside bombs in a war zone. And that’s assuming there ever was a road to where you need to go, never a safe assumption.
This statement , "postponing dealing with stuff.", is not true, at least not for everyone. At least in my case and according to several testimonies I read/heard.

You would be done unless you could get unbanned. There is something to be said for using local apps.

There are already companies that do this for other thing. It's basically the model cloudflare uses, but they don't have the ad injection part. I believe brandingbrand did the same model for mobile sites.

One of the points listed as the promises of microservices is: "Easy to test"

A microservice might be easy to test in isolation, but testing a microservices based system is FAR more difficult than testing a monolith - personally, I find that to be the worst part of microservices architecture. I would put "easy to test" as probably the main advantage of monoliths.
It's a fascinating design, but "Why?" is the question that leaps to mind. Once you get above a certain mass it just seems really beneficial to have a design that is stable at rest. (I'm speaking as someone who has had to pick up heavy motorcycles which have fallen or been knocked over a few times)

So what's the benefit of a Gyrocar to compensate for that? A motorbike has the benefit of really dynamic performance coming from the ability to lean in to corners etc, but it seems to me that this thing would work more like a tricycle (ie no countersteer or lean) because the gyroscopes would keep the body of the car level.
You mentioned cooking jasmine rice using a 1:1 ratio of water to rice, but rice generally can't be cooked using a linear ratio like this. As you increase the amount of rice being cooked, and change the size/shape of the cooking vessel, more of the water will be lost as steam. It's easiest to use a rice cooker, which will allow you more flexibility with regards to how much water/rice you used, but if you don't have a rice cooker (or anything that can work as a rice cooker) then I'd recommend the method where you cook the rice in a covered dish in the oven.

Most of the time, the total interest paid is included in the amortization plan. It's also easy to figure out. Using my example, the exact payment was $536.82.

$536.82x12x30=$193,255.20
Total($193,255.20)-Principal($100,000)=TotalInterest($93,255.20) give or take a dollar.

And so according to your desire, you'd want them to say it is a 93% mortgage.

The reason they don't is that interest rates and compounding are typically done annually. You also have the ability to make extra payments sometimes, which can pay it down faster. The faster you pay the debt, the less interest you pay.

For instance, if you win the lotto, receive a life insurance payout, or inheritance, etc and pay off the loan within the first year, it's no longer a 93% mortgage but a 5% one.

To me, it makes more sense to say, you owe $100,000 your first year, or $98,398 your second year, and that you'll be paying 5% interest over that year.
> AI and Quantum Computing come to mind as likely focus areas in addition to those already mentioned.

Um, yeah, no. Pretty much all experimental QC students capable of doing the work are accounted for. The theorists who don't hustle mostly can't get jobs, with good reason: it's mostly malarkey.

You'd think if there were some blackops AI center of genius out there, at least one of them would have a job at Facebook making $2m a year or at a hedge fund gobbling up the order books. There are none.

Neither the predator nor stealth choppers were particularly surprising. You can watch documentaries on youtube about stealth choppers like the RA-66 Comanche, and drones were in wide, boasted-of use in Vietnam.

FWIIW I did a little consulting work for SBIR places; most of the procurement officers got their ideas from shitty science fiction. I'm pretty sure we'll eventually get all the dumb things from Aliens no matter how impractical and useless in actual combat they are.
So, I can't speak to Spanish, but I can speak to French. There, the suffixes that are silent in Metropolitan French are still pronounced in some regional dialects, but the grammar doesn't really change (that I've noticed).

That leads me to think that it could just as easily be that grammar changes render the agglutination superfluous, and it subsequently withers away like a vestigial organ.

Learning to use a fire extinguisher. It's not hard, but not obvious either. And you don't want to have to figure it out on your own when you actually need it.

I personally had a training course at work, but I guess you can also find videos on the internet.
That's not cooking, that's following instructions. It's like saying that you can learn programming by opening Visual Studio, clicking "new console project", typing in printf("hello world\n"); in between the braces and hitting play is "programming". It kind of is, but you've learnt nothing.

Whoa, that took me back. That's literally how I learned programming when I was 13 or so. (I'm completely serious; I begged my mom for a copy of Visual Studio off of ebay. It was called Visual C++ 6.0 back then, or something. Nehe legacy tutorials were the shit! https://nehe.gamedev.net/)

I think everyone learns differently. The first thing you'll learn is that as long as you're standing next to the skillet, it's very hard to cook a pork steak too long. It'll always end up delicious.
The next step after that will be machine vision based transformation of the rendered output. I think as long as end users can keep control of the browser and computing device hope is not lost.

There is also the option of actively attacking the business model of the ad and tracking industry. Ad blockers could simulate lots of "fake" traffic to make ad analytics harder (this is another arms race against attempts to filter out the fake traffic)

I saw something once that explained how the powerful magnification seems silly until you account for the angles that things are at.

The example they used was that license plates are vertical so to read them the satellite can't be directly above the car so it's actually a much further distance and greater magnification is necessary because of the atmosphere and the distortion of reading something at an angle.
> work out the total repayable

But that depends entirely upon how long you take to repay it. If you pay the loan aggressively up front, you pay less; if you make minimum payments for as long as possible, you pay more.
Which also makes perfectly sense, if you ask me!
My dad was a beef cattle farmer. Beef cows are large animals - 800 pounds isn’t unusual - and if you accidentally get between a mama cow and her calf she can kill you. Dad got thrown more than once that way.

He once investigated raising bison. Doing his due diligence, he visited a bison farm. The fences were telephone poles drilled ten feet in the ground, and highway guardrail instead of wire. Dad backed away slowly and stuck to Black Angus.
It is probably a bit out of context but my car's battery died yesterday. Apparently I left the headlight open and for some reason it did not beep while I was leaving the car.

There is definitely a market for this and has been an idea I've been toying with for some time. Instead of a proxy per se, it'd be an API on top of a headless browser scraper then a simple web UI that uses that API. It'll have easy-to-update content extraction/interaction scripts for popular sites. Essentially you'll have "craigslist-ified" much of the popular web into an almost AOL like portal. Users will be encouraged to run client side (this won't be hosted, too many legal issues) and while this won't prevent tracking per se (headless browser still tracks), it is an easily exposed web server from your desktop. So you could even expose via Tor (time lost is made up for lack of content) and if you wanted to share, you could. Caching/storage and eager ahead of time loading/scraping of common sites, and it'll perform even better. Anyone can use the API for whatever they want.

Wrap it up with an easy to install bow and easy self updating to keep up with sites (and easy fallback to original sites/links), and I'll never browse the mainstream sites again. There are a couple of things that do this, but none as well as I'd like to see.
Second the tortilla chips. I used to fry them in a pan but I figured out how to get decent results in a microwave.

My go-to is to spread butter on them then nuke them.

Two weeks ago I went to Costa Rica and did a horseback/boat/hiking tour and there was a shack high in the mountains where we stopped and the guide made lunch. I was delighted to find that one of the three foods provided was fried tortillas. I insisted on helping. Frying tortilla chips in soybean oil in a wok on a wood fire in the cloud forest with no electricity or running water is a little different than nuking in the kitchen, but once you have the knack for it, it's pretty easy to pull off.

You never know when your weird cooking skills are going to come in handy!
I'm sure the test was a standard with a name, but I was never told. It was a small part of a 3 hour ordeal, evaluating my healing progress since suffering a brain injury in March.

I would agree that it's a very inefficient way of teaching something. It gave me an unexpected insight into machine learning though.

I'm sure the test was designed so that picking the same answer each time or picking one at random would result in a fail.
Yep. For me it would be too hard going back to living in an apartment after having my own house.
IMO the jury is still out. I am pretty sure that C++ veterans that can cleverly utilise any and all performance tricks (minus resorting to an assembly language) and can thus beat any other language.

But I -- like yourself -- am much more interested in the applicability of a language in everyday tools, plus in getting the most performance with the least amount of dark magic involved.

BTW, `ripgrep` definitely made me work better and faster.

I find it interesting to consider that empathetic experience can make us hostile and less altruistic, and that this is a common yet little acknowledged phenomenon. To dehumanise, denigrate or expel someone is a way to reconcile empathy felt for them, and sometimes more obvious, accessible, or apparently righteous than altruism.
Is paying to remove the ads a big deal? Presumably the content creator wants to earn something for putting the effort into creating something. Ads are one way to support content creation. Directly paying is another. Many advocates to remove ads say they want a direct pay model.
