I've used Ergo 4000 for a decade (I still have it), but moved to a conventional G710+ because it has Cherry MX brown switches.

The problem with Ergo4000 is, its keys wear down over time. It's a very nice keyboard and tends to teach you touch typing correcty but, the keys become heavier over much use. I didn't notice it until I've switched to G710+. Cherry MX Brown switches are really softer and allows me to work with my computer longer.

I don't have RSI but, My fingers felt tired at the end of a long session. Now with 710+, it never happens.
Sounds like LinkedIn?

This was a battle in a larger war. Presumably, they made the most of the available situation.

For example, judges do not look favourably upon Holy Crusades. They tend to regard them as wasting the judges time. Which is an automatic strike against you.

It is generally best to take the first victory that presents itself, and win the war by increments.
I suspect things are different, where I've been (UK, and Finland). But I'd expect to become friends with colleagues, take children on playdates, etc.

Often times colleagues will go for beer after work, especially on Fridays, and otherwise hang out at lunchtimes. Here in Finland I've sat naked in a sauna with upper-management, drinking beer, and relaxing.

Sure they're often not the people I'd expect to become friends with, but by virtue of having similar interests and spending a lot of time together you'll often have good relationships - not distant-ones - with colleagues.

(It is worth noting, for example, just how many romantic relationships start in the workplace ..)

OK, let's substitute "overhead" for "cost in the argument.

Premise one: C++ has zero overhead for most of its features, like smarts pointers: if you don't use them, they cost nothing.

Premise two: using features like smart pointers adds a cost to your C++ program.

Conclusion (due to the strawman logical fallacy): C++ is not zero overhead because there exists a feature that has a cost if you use it.

I'd like to see the reasoning that leads to the same conclusion without resorting to the strawman logical fallacy.
This article was written by someone who clearly values the aesthetic of Apple's mouse over function.

As a professional Mac user, each time I've purchased a new Mac that came with a mouse, I've always replaced it with one that fits professional use (currently, that is the Logitech MX Master series for me).

While the Apple mouse looks nice, it's clearly targeted towards users who don't use their mouse for long periods of time or for graphical work. Many non-professional users I know and work with have replaced their Mac mice (of all generations) with a different one because of hand cramping.

That being said, the black Apple Pro mouse was the nicest looking Mac mouse I promptly left in the box and never used.

> why does it seem like it's so much easier to dismantle things than to create them in the first place?

This is just the nature of things. It’s easier to destroy a car than to build one. Same for houses, plants, animals... anything complex, really. Destruction is generally easier than creation.

The point GP is making that civil engineers will not (knowingly) design an unsafe product just because they got something in a specification that led them to do so. They’ll object and refuse.

You were arguing that the specs or decisions made above their pay grade forced the software engineers into a dangerously faulty design which they dutifully created and shipped.
I liked this article, aside from the "I'm totally getting fired" it echoes how I felt in most jobs I had.

I like to think that it's something anyone who isn't absolutely full of himself will experience.
Really like the idea of decentralizing projects and their social artifacts. Getting rid of github for project discovery is a great goal.

Additionally running all of this on top of I2P would counter any embargoes that centralized forges like Github have to abide by. Projects by Iranians wouldn't suddenly disappear from radicle and neither would things like PopcornTime.

I'll be checking this out. I hope they have an executable with a good CLI. The GUI or embedded webserver for the social part of radicle can come later (unless they already have it)

Let me pose it to you this way. In what situation could the dollar collapse without the world being in ruins?

>but America won't lead the world indefinitely forever

I'm not talking about America. I'm talking about the dollar. In our highly tied global economy- those are very much two different things. Do you think any wealthy person in the world does NOT hold dollars or have direct exposure to it?
Important caveats to the private repo contributions:

1. It is opt-in, so your private contributions do not show up on your profile by default[0].

2. Not every org is running on GitHub public. If you're using a GitHub Private server, or if your employer uses something else like GitLab/Gitea/...

3. If you leave the org, your contributions to private repos might get removed from your profile. Unless you read the docs and remember to STAR the repos you worked on. Apparently, now they also count opening an issue/PR for this, but I haven't tested this[1]

[0]: By default, visitors only see public contributions on your profile.

> noise, [...] anxiety

How is it any categorically different from taking a helicopter ride today, or being a passenger in a fast-moving scooter? A lot of people are demonstrably fine with that.

> [...]wind

The wind from the propellers will be going downwards, I don't see why the user would be subjected to more wind than if they were on a motorcycle or in a convertible for the rest of the ride.

> are they worth the energy[...]

Some quick searching shows that a 85 kWh Tesla battery is 540 kg, this vehicle is 400 kg in total, let's say very optimistically that 200 kg of that is the battery, so around 40 kWh.

At $0.25 per kWh that's around $10 for a 5-10 minute ride. Considering you'd be able to traverse a significant distance in a dense city that doesn't seem too bad compared to a normal taxi.

> [...]& technology cost

Technology which is being developed for autonomous drones anyway, putting a seat in it instead of a cargo box doesn't make it that much more complex.

> [...]Making a vehicle roll along the ground[...]

Sure, but as a technology how much is rolling along the ground going to cost in a place like Tokyo if the government stopped subsidizing the land use required for that road surface?

That's going to be the main longer term impact of "flying cars" in dense cities.

I have to say that reading the Radicle designers observations about git on IPFS I think they solved the wrong problem. I would love to be able to save and work with git repos on ipfs.

Most of the other things radicle aims to provide seem like they are better centralized. There is a reason we all use gitlab/github for collab services. It is that centralization is better for that kind of thing.
Same. For me, a great github profile with repos and contributions may add to someone’s prospects when it comes to getting a first round interview. An empty profile or half baked commits? I will completely ignore it.

However, if I see someone engaging in an issue or PR discussion in a way that would make me nervous about having that person in my team’s slack channel, I am much more likely to pass on them.

I'm not really embarrassed to admit that I didn't know how to use my Magic Mouse for the first year I had it. The first generation was lighter, and my skin didn't slide due to the texture of the glass so I didn't even realize it was touch. I still scroll from the touchpad with my left hand or use hotkeys.

Love your tools. If you don't, find ones you do.
> Maybe I missed the forest for the trees, but it sounds like OP is almost discouraging people from contributing to their GitHub profiles?

It wouldn't surprise me. There is a lot of content online that appears to be created for the sole purpose of finding work or as part of school/university projects. A lot of that is of limited value, which diminishes the signal:noise.

But I think the main point of the article is that it is unlikely to be used in the hiring process. People either don't see if as being of value or realize that it can be gamed.
He doesn't say that someone submitted a fictional characters profile as his own.
He says github popularity is a useless metric because even fictional characters have a higher popularity as nearly all github users.
> Look at all the software running on your computer right now, how much of it is open source?

Most of it? The hardware, OS, web browser, window manager, terminal emulator, and text editor all are, anyway. There are a few proprietary bibs and bobs, but really not that many.

> Go and check all gadgets in your house which contains a microcontroller or cpu, how many of those can you get the source code for?

My impression is that most of this IoT-type devices run Linux of some variety. They might have some proprietary stuff on top (though not a ton, given the GPL), but that seems to be basically another check in the "open source" column.

> Ask your car manufacturer for the source code of all its systems.

Well, it's a Toyota, so it's running Automotive Grade Linux, so…

It doesn't seem blatantly obvious to me, but it's interesting to hear your perspective
I attest to this. This book should be required reading in school. There's so much suffering in the world being done to children in the privacy of homes. That suffering goes without punishment and the victims grow up to be perpetrators or victims again (in abusive relationships). And most don't even know how that happened.
> I'd refuse to disclose any private info up until the law requires me to.

This doesn't work as well as you'd expect.

I know Queensland law requires you to unlock your phone for a cop, or you face prison time. I'd expect there's similar laws for disclosure of encryption keys.

I don't know if I'm willing to "make it hard for them" if that means facing jail time.
Somehow I don't see most skins here that were popular in russia in late 90s..early00s. Have no idea where to dig them now, but some of those were really cool. A lot of them were anime-themed, movie-themed (Aliens, Predator, Matrix, Terminator, etc).
First thing I do when a resume crosses my desk (as a hiring manager) is check their GitHub (or GitLab) profile, if they supply one. It is an important weapon in our arsenal for helping determine which hire from a shortlist gets called in for interviews. Just having an empty profile is better than no profile, but one with repos of your work is best and worth extra points. It has made the difference in our hiring decisions.

Unfortunately for me, I came from a world where everything had to be open source, but moved to a closed source world where everything I produce, even in my private time, belongs to The Company. IP lawyers have to check the bowl before I flush. I am paranoid that my public commit log being empty will affect my chances of getting a job in the FLOSS realm once again.
It's good for many tenants who have longstanding leases, but rent increases have outstripped salary increases in all the better neighborhoods, by an almost laughable margin, for more than ten years.

A fair amount of that was fueled by long-term tenants getting kicked out by their new landlords who "needed" to reside in the flats. Similar gentrification model to parts of San Francisco.

So yeah, some things in Berlin are very tenant-friendly, but finding what used to be a typical flat in, say, Mitte on what is still a typical salary is pretty much impossible.

Edit: I get the impression that a lot of new housing is being built in Berlin, but I have yet to see any downward pressure on rents or for that matter purchase prices coming from it. The more they build, the more things cost.
These things can be completely irrational in my experience. One part I was working with had a driver upstreamed in the Linux kernel, you could buy off-the-shelf devices for cheap that had it on the PCB and I even found a company that was apparently selling a complete set of layer-by-layer die shots of that part for around $1000.

Yet the chips weren't sold by any distributor. To even just get engineering samples from the manufacturer you had to sign this draconian NDA that covered everything from software to hardware docs even remotely connected to their part. Even after signing the NDA they wouldn't disclose full datasheet for e.g. what some registers did. For some things the comments in the Linux kernel turned out to be more informative than anything we got through official channels.

But if they're the only source of parts you have to use, you have to dance by their rules. Ruin the relationship by breaching the NDA and you might just as well bury the product you spent a year developing.

The problem is not that the term is imprecise. To say "We can securely check your password." would be imprecise.

The problem is that the term is _inaccurate_ because it is _overly precise_.

---------------

When you find yourself arguing over details you find pedantic, then it is a sign that you either:

A. Are failing to realize why some detail actually _does_ matter in that context.

B. Are using overly-precise terms and should see if you can "go up one abstraction layer", likely by asking "why does someone care?"

I can‘t understand why it wouldn’t default to match the content’s frame rate. How can anyone watch content with a frame rate that doesn‘t match (or is a multiple of) the source material? Maybe modern TVs can hide those issues with interpolation, but I wonder how this isn’t a bigger and more widely discussed topic. It‘s my understanding that the Apple TV even handles this better than other devices, which sometimes simply don‘t seem to bother to offer this option at all.

Why are 'we' or 'measurements' things of special status?

Because we experience the world through our senses. Everything else is one mathematical model or another that we’ve created. And our models aren’t even consistent!

very painful point about the copenhagen interpretation is this distinction between 'normal' time evolution and the special procedure when a 'measurement' is carried out

This is not a special procedure. Measurement occurs whenever physical interactions take place. To measure a particle, we bounce another particle off of it and then try to detect the result. The measurement is the particle collision, not the detection. It’s like playing billiards in the dark. We don’t know where the balls are.

Taking 'a mathematical construct as more real than basic empirical experiences' is basically the history of physics and it has in the past been highly successful.

Except for all of the times when it broke down. When one model was found to contradict our experiments and we had to replace it with another, which later turned out to be wrong as well. Perhaps the most embarrassing example of this, in human history, is all of our attempts to make geocentric models work [1].

The most well-known critique of science’s institutional habit of inventing new models whenever old ones broke down is probably Kuhn’s paradigms [2]. If you’re interested, you’re better off reading Kuhn than anything I have to write here. I think the best evidence for Kuhn’s thesis is the abject disappointment we witness every time particle physicists fail to overturn the standard model. If that’s not supremacy of measurement, then I don’t what is.

Housing is much less subsidised than in many western "social-market" economies. You work 10-15 years, save for the flat and buy it.

One great thing is, everyone in Singapore is saving for their own future (health care, housing, retirement). You can be nearly sure no corrupt politician will diverge your savings to buy votes. The government is just the enforcer of this scheme -- they know, not everyone would be happy to carve out a part of their salary to save for the future.

If you're not a resident and don't plan to stay for long you barely pay any taxes (11% AFAIK). But then you don't save for your own flat or retirement.

I'm with you, but want to add that this transition isn't the fault of GUIs. The group at PARC that invented the GUI that everyone else commercialized had invented the GUI equivalent of "booting into a BASIC" -- Smalltalk.

Which brings me to another point: this divide has gone hand in hand with the idea that parts of a computing system should be universally swappable. But that prevents any "holistic" nature to a computing system, and therefore we get caught up in the idea of individual languages rather than environment and how everything works together.

To argue that GitHub won't help you with hiring doesn't just require showing that it's not perfect, it requires that other methods of assessing people (Interviews? Degrees?) absolutely dominate it. But the arguments made against github would work against any such method. Yes there are impressive people without an impressive github page, there are also impressive people who fail interviews, don't have degrees, etc.

> Not only are GitHub profiles not that helpful for hiring developers, it also seems like they aren't that much help for developers that are looking for work.

Why try to dissuade people from something they aren't doing anyway?
We have "flying cars": they are called airplanes and helicopters. The latest trend is towards a hybrid vehicle that combines the Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities of a helicopter with the forward speed and efficiency of an airplane. Battery driven electric motors add another dimension to these designs as does autonomous operation.

The SkyDrive flying taxi seems to be an electric quadcopter [1] with coaxial rotors [2]. I'm assuming that the key advantage over a traditional helicopter is a smaller footprint due to the quadcopter configuration.

Perhaps we are conflating two innovations: functional electric passenger quadcopter and the infrastructure for flying taxi services.

My two cents on the RSI and fast typing.

I learned typing 40 years ago, in the same way as secretaries do, with a real mechanical typewriter (an Olivetti one), and following an standard typewriter course for 2 months. My parents and relatives also used mechanical typewriters for 20 years before (8 hours a day).

The writer says "CapsLock is useless... remap".
I have seen that statement a lot of times, and I deeply feel it wrong. That means the author hasn't been properly trained at typing. Maybe he also lacks:

- The balance of the "space" between the two hands.

- using the opposite shift for the special chars.

- using caps for continuous uppercase...

- numbers had an assigned finger. (Some people overuse only 2 fingers for them).

- the hand position and they way the rest/float in the keyboard, needed to achieve more than 100word/min.

- forearm and hand alignment.

I have work with people with RSI and almost all of them lack proper training at typing. So they tend to overuse 2/3 fingers, to only use one side of the space bar, or only one shift. They don't balance correctly the hands, and some positions are forced.
