The macOS program Karabiner (especially in combination with BetterTouchTools) lets you go far beyond this, mapping arbitrary keys not just to different modifier keys but to any action desired.

Incredibly useful for coding (I have Caps Lock change focus between my IDE and most recent non-IDE window for mouse-free iteration cycles) and Mac gaming (tab-targeting is much more powerful with the caps lock button in play!)
I totally agree that personal concerns/fears/moral compasses should not justify restrictions for the others. Sadly I can't find a single society that hasn't compromised on this painfully reasonable approach at the alter of what's popular.

Things related to substances, sex acts, pornography, religion, obscenity, gambling, even vaping seem to be common victims nowadays.

And when there is some progress in something, it seems that it's not for the right reason (that simply there is no rational basis to restrict some freedom for some arbitrary/subjective concept of "the greater good"), but for the reason that the people that are negatively affected by it became numerous and loud enough to not ignore.
I'm operating an 8xPi4/8GB cluster here, the 8GB Pi4s make this a bit more interesting, but my use case is this: I use Wireguard to backhaul an AWS EIP address, and use k8s to manage instances of various small services (gitlab, websites, wordpress+web application firewall, etc), simulate AWS Lambda, and just generally have fun. But to your point: No, it certainly isn't something I undertook with pure practicality in mind.

Well, unfortunately, it's something like an ironclad law of the universe that nobody worries about their health until they have problems.
... Eh, no.

General rule: controversial theories, in a vacuum, are fine.

Promoting controversial theories in a manner likely to lead people to die (hydroxycloroquine self-medication, bleach-drinking, deliberate self-infection): not fine.

Twitter and Youtube are full of people promoting all sorts of nonsense, and also legitimate unorthodox theories (there is a difference; there's a huge gap between, say, "the earth is flat" and "dark matter isn't a thing") without any trouble. It's when you get into the realm of health advice that is likely to injure people that there's a problem.
Sorry, now you're telling me what I'm allowed to fear? Is this still about freedom? It just seems like you're doubling down on a bad idea. People have a right to not be made afraid - but people don't have a right to be afraid except if it's a valid fear?

I much prefer my position that freedom and fear do not intersect.
Instagram Illegally Stealing Fingerprints of More Than 100M Users
I use a blank keyboard but not for the reasons of touch typing. I use it so when people sit at my desk and go to type they realize they don't know how to touch type so they just fuck off and leave my computer alone. It's a signaling kind of thing.
I queried for this song's lyrics, and I found only a single quoting symbol (') used entirely throughout.

Taking a layperson's reading of the lyrics, I didn't find anything off due to quoting issues. If there was any disruption, it was minimal and unnoticed.
Sometimes the brain is the bottleneck of development, other times it's the fingers...
This is not correct, as others have pointed out, you need to think of what others consider a "win" when negotiating. You need to put yourself in their shoes and understand their goals, their limit and their BATNA.

I've found it helps if you create a grid with you and your partner as the columns and "Goal", "Walk-Away" and "BATNA" in the rows.

Your goal would be "$18/hr", your walk-away would be $1 less than your current rate (it sounds like) and your BATNA is to find another job that pays more, but accept the risk that you find another job.

For your friend, his goal is to keep you at $9, his limit seemingly would be his own pay or $15/hr and his BATNA is to find someone else but accept the risk that he may not find someone.

Ultimately, most negotiations end between people's limits, so it sounds like if you negotiate you could increase your rate to $12-$13 an hour.

> In response to this latest report, TikTok has said “the current version of TikTok does not collect MAC addresses.”

... as opposed to saying "TikTok does not and has never collected MAC addresses."
> ...my big gripe with hardline “big-L” Libertarianism is that it seems to pretend these trade-offs don’t exist and that “freedom” is some sort of thing you can just assign a number to.

This statement would not pass the Ideological Turing Test [1]. Freedom is doing what one wants as long as it does not impinge on the ability of others to do the same; "live and let live". The grey areas and trade-offs live in interpreting Golden Rule [2] violations. Violations implemented to further The Greater Good [3] also complicate matters.

Each political preference, be it progressive, conservative, or libertarian, tends to apply the Precautionary Principle [4] to what they view as ruinous behavior (oppression/exploitation, individual decadence, and government overreach respectively). Each group is blind to their own application of the Precautionary Principle that different outgroups view as a Golden Rule violation.

Learning to type really makes a difference in productivity. My typing skills took a huge leap when I worked in a computer lab that had bad lighting and green terminal screens. You couldn't see the markings on the keys... ancient Zenith terminals hooked up to a VAX.
Sometimes, the immediate feedback can be a problem in itself. If you are typing as fast as somebody is speaking, the last thing you want to do is recognize a mistake and try to correct it. Doing so will just make you fall behind, which is worse than having a typo in the transcription. Since mistakes cannot be corrected until afterwards, it is better not to be distracted by them at all.

This differs quite a bit from programming, where a single character typo might not be noticeable in review, and should be watched for while typing.
Ask HN: Where do sales people hangout?

I recently started getting into sales and I am not sure where do salespeople hangout?

Most sales people I found on twitter are too sale-y. "Hi I'm <name>, buy my book now 'How to make 100,000 by a writing book' Course coming out soon."

I follow certain people on twitter for their authentic content.

@RGA for B2B Marketing

Well yes, but at least in some places companies introducing different prices based on things like gender or race are not legal. Recently in the UK there was a case where a pub had a promotion where men paid more for drinks on the International Womens day, and someone took them to court over it and won - the court agreed that such pricing based in gender is not legal in the UK. On the other hand, clubs do this all the time without a fuss, but I suspect it's because no one challenged them legally on it yet.

In general I'm not a fan of the "gay people can just chose not to pay" argument - it sounds too similar to the one where some companies argued they should be allowed to deny gay people service, since they can simply go somewhere else.
It would be probably easily trackable by army and police. Unless you propose setting them in random places anonymously or move often (setup the antenna on the car)
I'm not saying he was right to experiment with diet. I was just saying it's hardly surprising given what we do know about pancreatic treatments and the dearth of public and accessible information.

Much of the information out there is either garbage or medical research papers. Most information on any pancreatic illness involves diet/digestion and potential surgery.

This stuff has been on my radar because unfortunately severe cases of pancreatitis can precede chronic conditions[0], cysts, tumours, and potentially even pancreatic cancer.

Jobs seems to have had a liver transplant. That says a couple of things. If the cancer had spread to his liver his chances were not good. His cancer was of the islet cells. Islet cells are the part of the pancreas that regulate blood sugar levels. So immediately he was staring down diabetes with surgery and removal of a large portion of them. There are surgeries (we've looked at them as possible futures) to transplant islet cells to the liver in order to try and avoid becoming diabetic if part or all of the pancreas has to be removed.

So this is a completely uneducated guess and only speculation, but if he was looking into islet cell transplants[1] prior to pancreatic head removal then he may have wanted a healthy liver first. Information relating to those details hasn't been made public to my knowledge. Most of the information surrounding his health seems as if it was measured in its releases. Also that he had a Whipple procedure it sounds like he was also having more traditional treatments.[2] Diet is also a part of treatment and symptom management and, from personal experience, the diet is pretty well the same as that for pancreatitis.[3]

Being that he lived 7 years after what is publicly known to be his diagnosis, he beat the average by a couple of years. That puts him in the 90th percentile of all pancreatic cancer deaths (at least according to the present figures I mentioned before which don't differentiate between types of pancreatic cancer).

And their whole business model was built around an idea to trick user into paying yearly subscription for the first year and then do whatever it takes to make them pay for the second year. Cancelling subscription was a quest itself, and given that couple of company's brands are targeting >50 years old people, it was relatively easy to scam them and not return the money

Happy you chose to learn C. That's exactly what I would recommend.

If you are so inclined, I'd look into how to write your own home-grown version of Objective-C—given that valid C is valid Objective-C.

Because then you would learn Smalltalk and the whole ladder of it all! Smalltalk is far and away one of the greatest joys on programming. :) http://objective.st

The "Gang of Four" explains the patterns in Smalltalk and in terms of entrepreneurship—Patrick Collison's first startup was written in Smalltalk and I think early introduction to it leads to the clean design and success you see coming from Stripe.

I don't think we know how to do that yet. But there's a big tradeoff mitochondria have to make in terms of either being more efficient at turning sugar into ATP or being more resistant to damage. Since most people in the first world have an easy time getting enough calories to survive it would make sense to lean into the resistance to damage side of things.

I think big L libertarians are aware of the idea that freedom is full of trade-offs.

The issue is that someone has to make these decisions and libertarians don't think the government is the group to do it.

The most important institutions in human society — language, law, money, and markets — all developed spontaneously, without central direction. Civil society — the complex network of associations and connections among people — is another example of spontaneous order; the associations within civil society are formed for a purpose, but civil society itself is not an organization and does not have a purpose of its own.

Government is the big hammer and when you start using government casually instead of letting people decide at their own direction that's when you start running into massive problems. Because the government could give you what you want one day but then with that same power take away everything the next.
Given that either of these is going to involve some amount of driving, public transit, and/or hired cars, and the fact that you probably should have a passport anyway, and the fact that flights cost quite a bit, the 35 bucks should barely go noticed either way.

I never really understand why people ask for things like this. Presumably Mozilla is paying these salaries because that's what they need to pay to hire good people at that level. Why would those people stay at Mozilla if they suddenly had their salary cut? They are probably already making less than they could make in a comparable position elsewhere.
SSDs indeed use more or less the same type of flash memory as USB sticks and SD cards, but the fundamental difference lies in how the controllers interface with that memory. While modern high-end USB memory sticks and SD cards are able to keep a sustained single write operation going at pretty high speeds, each write operation must be finalized with an update to the media's block allocation map, which is the point where the media experiences a form of throttling. Consequently this results in multiple small write operations - each of which need the same finalization procedure - bringing the performance of the stick/card to a complete crawl, with even read operations being blocked.
Well, they do start the process of triggering apoptosis or cell suicide, for instance.
I think if you had multiple corpuses of lyrics, you could cross-check for anomalies of any variety (odd quoting, switching between american/british english), etc.

The fingerprinting isn't likely applied to every song, to prevent obvious detection. If you went through multiple databases, you might see N prevailing copies of a song's lyrics, and 1 that seemed different. The one that's different has the anomaly.
Actually, starting with Windows 10 Release 2004, all device manufacturers will be able to mark driver updates as automatic, while optional driver updates will appear within an "Optional updates" area of Windows Update. This obsoletes the tedious search for driver updates within Device Manager.

I haven't, but I'm not afraid to put forth a strong position. That way if I'm wrong, I will find out quickly. :)

That said, it just seemed to me that the article fell into a typical mistake early on, of confusing the map and the territory- fear and harm- and from there weakening its own position by requiring the addition of special case rules and self-contradiction: fear of facepunching, but not fear of the gay - what makes one valid and the other invalid? And if it's real plausibility, why not just direct the right at the real thing that makes it plausible, and thus turn the fear into a justified expectation open to empirical argumentation? It seemed like the argument would vanish down a rabbit hole for little benefit.
The issue with hydroxychloroquine is that claims of effectiveness without evidence, particularly as a prophylactic, cause an immediate public danger (particularly given its promotion by certain public figures in an irresponsible manner; see "what have you got to lose?") This isn't purely theoretical; people have self-medicated and died.

At any given time there are thousands and thousands of unproven drugs under development or being evaluated for new applications. There are even many possible covid treatments being evaluated without similar controversy, because no-one with a large audience has suggested self-medication.

Hopefully the hydroxychloroquine thing is a one-off, and public figures will be more careful in future about public promotion of unapproved drugs. It would be extremely dangerous, and damaging to legitimate scientific investigation, if this sort of thing becomes common.
Yeah, I'm fully aware that any large company based in China has involvement/influence from the Chinese government at least on the board-level. Even so, I find it bordering on misinformation to frame it as "China does [x]", which is a general trend in Occidental/Japanese/Korean media.

When Microsoft did their release on considering acquisition of TikTok, explicitly stating it was after conversation with the POTUS, I never saw it framed as "The USA to acquire TikTok".

We need to be able to have more nuanced headlines because frankly this amount of reduction is hurting more than it's helping in making readers understand the situation. As much as there is issues in the intertwine of corporate leadership and government, the PRC is not quite on the same level as the DPRK.
First, that's why I wrote "hope" and mentioned it's not perfect. But "the consumed and delivered message can always be seen" is just incorrect. IF both sides destroy either the message or the encryption keys for it, then no, it can't be seen. (Just the metadata about it being sent)
I think this is a problem for everyone who tries a keyboard from another locale. I've tried a British one before while traveling and it was extremely unpleasant to not have the keys where I expect.

It seems by not having an international standard early on in computing we missed out on something here. Like how we drive on different sides of the road, use different plugs put interchange commas and periods for decimals. However, the most egregious violation of international missed opportunities has got to be sign language. I find it both incredibly hilarious and sad that two deaf people from different cultures can't communicate even though both do so in hand codes. We're truly a stupid species sometimes.

Most companies that offer some product are in this dilemma. You want to satisfy your customer's demands but not too much so that they come again. You could sell them a laundromat or fridge that lasts 40 years, but you rather sell them one that lasts 10 and welcome them back in your shop much sooner. Planned obsolescence basically.
What you advertise your product as will always stick with people.

History Lesson. Back in the early 00's we all used IE and Proxomitron to block undesirable web elements. Firefox, Safari, and Netscape all existed, but IE6 was constantly forcing companies to break them.

Then, Firefox came out with Tabbed browsing and plugins, something that took IE years to catch up on. You could use adblock with firefox as early as I believe version 2 or 3 and that was very effective at blocking web advertising and undesriable elements as well as making the web more convenient to work with.

Then late 00's Google decided it wanted to be an advertising company, and its interest in Firefox changed and firefox was was pulled down the path of becoming an company selling advertising.

Today, they do things like quietly implimenting DNS in HTTPS, which we all know is aimed at ads and ad targeting. All while putting up cutsie pages with animated animals in them about their product with undertones about sticking it to the man.

The reason people flog you and your organization on the internet is they have very, very long memories and know what bullshit looks like.

Try forking firefox into a ruthlessly ad-removing, DRM abusing, secure, privacy protecting, enterprise quality version of what it is today with vastly simplified configuration options and sell it for $25 a year. Then you'll get some attention, otherwise, you're being paid to not compete.

With Compound you could invest using crypto. And use crypto ATM for transacting.
Why shouldn't I have the freedom to go where I please? What gives, say, the owner a piece of land the right to deny my freedom to walk there?

I'm not against property rights, but nowhere is it treated like an absolute. Even cultures with strong property rights recognizes such as the United States recognizes this trade-off (which is explicitly done so in the US constitution).

Other commentors gave good advice about how to negotiate.

In the US, there's an expression called "Keeping up with the Jones'". It means you're trying to match what you see other people getting in income, material goods, etc., often at the expense of your own happiness. Think about the following before you act.

Why is the situation bothering you?

Are you being influenced by another party who thinks you're being taken advantage of?

Are you happy with the work and is it allowing you to enjoy your life?
