I've got RSA Type 2 and Trigger-finger four years ago and I was told if I continue like that I may not be able to use a keyboard for a very long time. It started with lots of pain and discomfort and then got worst with trigger-finger. What a nightmare!

I had many years without touch typing and when the pain started, I was already doing touch typing for more than 3 years. But, neither me nor the doctor couldn't blame touch typing for it. I was told any repetitive movement can cause it. Perhaps touch typing does kick in. But, the main cause was lack of any exercise with hands. I was only using my hands on my keyboard for a very long time.

I'm still doing touch typing. I actually stopped physiotherapy exercises for my hands shortly. Instead, I started to do sports and normal exercises to keep my muscles healthy. I've also switched to a split keyboard (Kinesis Advantage 2) with some customization on the layout to tweak it for coding. Seriously one of my best purchases ever. Since then I actually invest on my work equipment and office tools. Good monitor, proper desk and ergo chair. They last forever, and it's way cheaper than breaking your body.
It's an American term and like usual cultural imperialism means everyone else must use it too.
I have an a bit different approach: Just stop this "self-optimization" bs and start being a human with all his flaws and failures. I think if you tinker to much with yourself and your flaws you are in danger of loosing yourself and become some sort of machine.

As a German living in Sweden, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Granted, compared to the US, both are on a similar level, but if you look at them individually, unions are a lot stronger in Sweden.
I actually have a k3s cluster running my blog/a few services. It just works, really, and so far it has been zero maintenance, zero downtime, apart from the large upfront investment (one weekend). Most importantly it was a great learning experience.
> In contrast, in most contries (notably France), unions may do "political strikes" to express opinions.

Comparing any European country to France for striking is a bit absurd honestly.

Political strikes to express opinions is not really common in most European countries. It happens, rarely.
Got me! Haha!
Its funny that this is worse than China's social credit score, there at least you know you are on the shitlist.

OKCupid also charges men, especially more than women for their premium service. It's common on online dating apps.

Not much different than real life... in many clubs women can go inside for free while men have to pay entry ticket fee.

What was the point of this statement: "If we keep expecting underfunded and under-resourced parties to come up with software ready and with absolute feature-parity over what is being pushed by the companies that have time, money and marketing teams"?

My counterpoint is: Signal started as any startup. Now it basically defines e2e encryption. Why can't other "underfunded and under-resourced parties" do similar things?
That's revisionism. A whole lot of people did NOT want a lockdown, or accepted it only because it was billed as only for two weeks. Once it became clear that the goalposts were rapidly moving and "two weeks", "flatten the curve" etc had been a lie, a huge number of people became disgusted with it.

And please, if you'll accuse others of dripping with bias, attempting to paint this as a strictly left/right issue doesn't work. It's normally the left who claim to care about workers and small businesses, isn't it? Those are the people suffering the most.
Not only this, at least last year (when I abandoned Tinder for good) they were charging women more for the "daily picks" feature (it selects top ranked profiles).

Ask HN: Self-taught webdev with lots of free time. What should I learn?
Hey HN,

I'm a self-taught webdev with 10 years xp. I have lots of free time right now with a bit less freelance projects coming in, and I'm getting a bit bored of building web CRUDs and feel like I'm not learning much anymore.

I'm thinking it'd be better to specialize more, but I'm unsure which direction to go. I'm actually selling myself as a full-stack web developer, knowing JS/react/vueJS, PHP/Laravel, bit of design, server management etc.

If possible I'd like a job that can be fully remote or at most 1 day on site, which probably excludes security and high level stuff.

I have lots of time to learn so I'm open to any advice even if it's just to git gud and read SICP.

tl;dr webdev having done every type of CRUD under the sun - what do now

Thanks for your input !
That first one is madness! That's not even goto-phobia, that's just not knowing what arrays and loops are.

The third one is true goto-phobia of course. Crazy how people can't see the mess they make by avoiding goto for the sake of avoiding goto.

It could be a system, oracle, or network, which computes weights or votes, just as soon as it could be an individual or group casting ballots or deliberating. The deciding is key, perhaps not who decides. Some aspects of law are slippery like that though, where one set of rules applies to human agents, and a different, perhaps mutually exclusive set, apply to everything else.

For example, horse drawn carriages have the right of way even over pedestrians, because you’re pulling weight, or more accurately, a beast of burden is pulling the weight. It’s a living thing too, and it can’t stop on a dime when it’s got a load. It makes sense when you know the context and framing for why the law is so written today.

I’m sure there are similar examples in others contexts. Court cases and judges look at the law like we do whitepapers. Some docs are better than others, and there are some devs, and other judges’ toes you’d be hesitant to tread on, especially if you have a habit of doing that kind of thing.
Taxi´s companies have existed for a while. Compared to Uber the differences are: customer support is shitty, good luck getting a refund, you need to know the phone numbers or have the apps installed of all of the cities in the world. It is more complicated. Uber is uber internationally. It is only one app, only one (relatively good) support. By the way, I don´t "love" Uber, is just that I see the value on it.
No, herd immunity is already happening anyway via natural vaccination, i.e. people getting it. There's no actual need for a vaccine. Case numbers are falling in many areas again, even after a round of opening ups.

By now the vaccine has clearly shifted in purpose from a medical one to a primarily psychological one. For people who are wedded to lockdowns and can't admit how disastrous they are, a vaccine is a face-saving exit criteria. It comes with the bonus of more top-down control of the population too!
yes it could be very useful
That the "essential products list" does not exist, which is the key complaint in any discussion about this. Amazon invented a requirement that does not exist to claim that the requirements are to vague to implement. The list the court provided is explicit in the court documents, meanwhile the "essential products" is subject to the imagination of every armchair free market capitalist. You wont find it googling, you wont find it going through court documents, you will only find an unending sea of discussion how stupid it is for a court to require something as vague as selling only "essential products" and how Amazon shutting down its french warehouses was the only sane response to this requirement.

> I would imagine amazon would have preferred to keep operating, so I believe them.

This was an union driven lawsuit. Shutting down operations to stamp out union activity is rather common with companies large enough to cover the short term costs of it.
> Everybody in Sweden right now has an uneasy feeling about Amazon

The few Swedish friends I showed this article to were actually happy to hear that they might have a local Amazon coming soon?
On the basis that 90% of the time when it did go off to the 'internet' (aka some Microsoft site) to find drivers it would spend hours doing it to only come back with nothing, it's been pretty useless for some time now.

One wonders if it's been broken for ages, and MS have finally decided to put it out of it's misery.
As others have pointed out, this wasn't a strike. The government imposed some rules with steep penalties in case of failure to comply. Amazon figured they would rather stop operations altogether while figuring how to set this up.

One notable difference with a strike is that employees kept receiving their pay.
People have wildly different experiences on tinder based on gender and age, among other things. It would follow that they value the premium features differently and be willing to pay more or less for them too.

>to which I say that no type of relationship has a feasible monetary induction price

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
I switched keyboards to a linear one in December, which forced me to learn to touch-type properly (I need to write a post about that). I have the same experience as you, I only got slower, without any other benefits.

"Proper" touch typing (I typed without looking before too, but not the "proper" way) is overrated and has proven to me less useful than the way I was used to.
The secret to make folks test on Firefox is by making developers happy. What makes them happy? A good DevTools experience.

Chrome won me over as a developer with its developer console, and I noticed Firefox Devtools has become a lot better now.

There are still quirks in Chrome's devtools and Firefox really has a shot if it focuses properly. For example working with large JS files are painful and the networks tab can be way more better.
The bigger picture doesn't support your suggestion much, it's obvious Mozilla has plenty of will to double down on politics.
Driver search seems like a relatively simple collective action problem that the OS provider is well-positioned to solve. It seems like all that's necessary is to extract an identifier for the device and have a repository of (operating-system, identifier) -> driver that device manufacturers can upload to.

I guess it's the extras that kill things. Product differentiators like applets, software utility suites etc. probably make drivers less than simple modules, and more like installable software packages. It's in the OS vendor's interest to commoditize this and make devices generic, but not in the device manufacturers' interests.
Ask HN: What are the best textbooks to study in order to learn math for ML?
So I never really found a practical use for mathematics while I was in school, so I never really paid attention to it, basically just studied for grades. Now that I have some interest in ML, I have come to realize that I suck at math. Help me fix that, my ultimate goal being the ability to work through Bishop's Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning or being able to understand ML papers. I know I mostly need Probability, Statistics, Calculus and Linear Algebra. For now I'm studying precalc (Stewart). Next steps are:

Probability: Introduction to Probability - Blitzstein & Hwang.

Statistics: Introduction to Mathematical Statistics - Hogg & al.

Calculus: Calculus, Early Transcendentals - James Stewart & al.

Linear Algebra: Introduction to Linear Algebra - Gilbert Strang.

What are your picks in those subject? Are these enough?

Edit: preferably books that use the metric system.
Genius copied their lyrics from older places like OHHLA. OHHLA got ripped off by pretty much everyone, pretty sad actually. And if Genius were to be confronted on this, they would have the exact same response as Google and LyricFind.

Open Source is not influenced by political factors. Influencing factors are almost entirely economical, with the exception being decisions by lawmakers.

I'd rather they kept politics and so-called fights against racism out of Software, because they were never problematic there to begin with.

The terms master and slave for example are only in bad taste because people make them to be.
They built a multi-thousand pi cluster to test the SMP and configuration stuff before running it on a super computer.

Virtualising thousands of CPUs on a single machine is still not trivial.

It's also not as black and white in the US despite the popular narrative. Blackface was an avenue of opportunity for freed black slaves to gain social visibility while at the same time a way for white people to slowly introduce black culture into the narrative. The practice of comedy at the expense of black slave stereotypes has fallen out of practice because it's no longer culturally relevant, for sure, but "coon" culture had an important role to play in US history. A modern analog might be hip hop. Eminem and other white rappers arguably don black-speak to participate in a scene that idolizes, or celebrates, the struggles of low income, predominately black, communities. But the art tells an important story. And it's great music!

I've only done a quick bit of research but can't seem to find a clear list of protected characteristics in Oz like we have in the UK, age being one of them.. I don't use tinder but just looking up their pricing model it's £3.99 for under 28yo and £14.99 for 28yo and over in the UK... how is this not a breech of the Equality Act 2010?
60-80 is slow to average, though, no? I had the same issue as you with coding sigils, and "proper" touch typing didn't help at all, so I just remapped [] {} to Tab+hjkl and the parentheses to the shift keys, which helps more because I don't have to stretch.

There are national laws and international treaties that regulate usage of the radio spectrum. Without international cooperation, many radio applications would be impossible.

Article 18 of the ITU Radio Regulations was mentioned in the comments on another post. It basically states that nobody can use radio in any country without permission from that country.

My issue with this is that these decisions aren't necessarily being made because of operating costs. It doesn't cost more to host a man than a woman.
My advice short: Fire Fred.
Long: Depends on your process. Generally you should have refactoring tasks. So a dev detected bad architecture or some issue in the ticket. Then do the stuff and make a refactoring task. Or change the ticket. This way Fred would have enough of work that he loves. Sometimes he should do also stuff which he hates - its a job.

I said fire because it reminds me of a coworker who was very lazy. He complained about code (yes it was messy) but he was extremly slow in delivering. Simple tasks took 5x the time they should take and the refactoring wasn't that good. I mean 2x the time might be ok if you improve stuff. But no way a 5x delay.
Especially in a large project, if there are some really messy things, you need to talk with other devs to decide on architecture and so on. It's no way a one man show.
What about car insurance? Is it ok to charge more to insure teenage drivers?
Very nice work. Super geeky. I would love running a Plan9 cluster on this setup. Any thoughts on trying it out?
I live in France and I've found that having a QWERTY keyboard has pretty much the same effect, even for people who look at the keys when they type and even though my computer is set up to use the keyboard as QWERTY (so pressing any key does what the key says).
Mass layoffs are and have been standard procedures in any company, regardless of size. Writing such templates in good times instead of wasting resources elsewhere is just good risk management.
> I seem to remember that Opera was the first stand-alone browser that brought the world tabbed browsing.

Nope. There were other browser before that. And Opera did not have Tabs back then. They had MDI with a button-bar for document-access. Mozilla was the first one delivering a real tabbed interface, and was later copied by opera and others.

At the end there was a bunch of features coming from several browsers (but mostly mozilla and opera), which improved each other in tight competition; so it's a bit complicated to say what originated from whom.
But the recession has hit the UK harder than many other European countries. That strikes me as comparable and indicates that it has been more poorly handled by the UK than by other countries.
Konqueror never had more than about five developers at a time, and yet managed to build a better browser than anyone else - by keeping the codebase clean and well structured, and by being able to welcome outside contributions in a way that Mozilla never managed.

WebKit is KHTML, and since (as you say) it's the upstream rendering engine for many browsers, it makes sense for it to live in a "neutral" place; it's still an open-source project, and of course at this point it's had many contributions from outside KDE - which is how things are supposed to work.

If you prefer another WebKit-based browser then by all means use it - I've yet to find any that match Konqueror though. Just things like the integrated shortcuts from the context menu are better than anything else offers.
There are a range of interrelated symptoms and experiences (e.g. autism, dyspraxia, dyslexia, anxiety), and part of the job of a good psychiatrist is to pick through these and make a determination.

An analogy you might be experienced with: imagine you're a product manager and you want to make a customer service person in your company twice as efficient as they are today. If you ask the CS person what you should work on for them, they might be able to give you some direction, but they don't know the full range of possible things that you can do for them. E.g. they might think "Well, I've got to type emails to customers so it would be useful for me to have a new support ticket load on my screen as soon as I'm finished with the last one." But you -- an expert -- might say "We can actually auto reply to some of these emails for you using a canned template!"

Self-diagnosing, and in particular self-diagnosing mental health and neuroatypicality issues, is a hard ask.
To add to this, as someone who has used the app before I'd be genuinely surprised if the experience they are given was in fact substantially different enough to warrant some people AU$7 while charging others over AU$30 (!!). The paid version allows you to change your swiping location (meaning you can match with someone in a different city), have a few more "super likes", and a couple other features. It's possible there are things I don't know about, or that some of the shoppers also added on the extra "gold" membership[1] in the article, increasing the price, but considering the experience already I think they're just doing differential pricing based on demographics and not actually giving a different experience.

1: The paid membership gives you a lot of features, but one thing you can additionally pay extra for is the ability to see who has liked you directly, so called "Tinder gold".
> They'll get Amazon to cave.

I'm not so sure, and I'll explain why below on one of your points.

> in the end garbage collectors will refuse to pick up garbage at their warehouse. Electricians will refuse to service their warehouse. Plumbers will not plumb. Workers, builders, postmen etc will all simply stop servicing Amazon. Companies that deal with Amazon can also be put in a blockade.

Outside of employing builders directly, it's my understanding that Amazon has previously operated in-house alternatives for those, particularly to reduce the costs in their supply chain and operations. I wonder if this would lead to Amazon instead scaling up the self sufficiency instead?
I'm the last person to defend old men from discrimination (mostly because it's uncommon), but yeah this doesn't sound right to me.
Here is one of my favorite videos of mitochondrial transport, in vivo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5IxkI6tkn0

Apparently, there is a whole economy for transporting microchondria within dendrites. More mitochondria in an area of the dendrites allows for faster growth and responsiveness to input.

(There is another time-lapse video I've seen before of mitochondrial transport, but I'm frustrated that my own browsing history isn't making it easier to find. Are there tools that help make ones own browsing history more useful/accessible?)
