Maybe the lugs are included in the official specs' height/thickness. If you put it flat on the table the backside doesnt touch the surface because the lugs protrude a bit - maybe to protect the sensor from scratching. I ignored the lugs though as they're wrapping around my wrist and don't add to the thickness.

Or maybe i measure again to be sure.
Thanks for sharing. I haven't run into Ranger before and really like it. Will add it to my tool-chain.

> With respect to inefficiency, what do you mean? It's quite time efficient when building and installing to not have to attempt to resolve dependencies.

It's going to burn disk space like crazy, isn't it? If I install packages foo-1.0 and bar-1.0 and foo-1.0 uses glibc-2.31 and bar-1.0 uses glibc-2.30 then I now have 2 versions of glibc... but that scales to every package I install and every library every one of them uses. Of course, this can be fixed... by automatically building new versions of every package any time any of their dependencies changes, in which case we're probably not wasting much disk because we traded and are now burning CPU time like there's no tomorrow (and network, and disk I/O, and memory, and anything else used in package builds). Basically, this sounds like reinventing static binaries, with all the downsides thereof.
It absolutely does address it.

The Pfizer chairman is saying he doesn't know whether you can get a spreadable COVID-19 infection after the vaccine has been administered, but before it takes full effect.

I think you should take a look at the resume of other people with 20 years of experience in the software engineering industry and compare and contrast. When I look at this, I think... "What did this guy do for all this time? Did he advance in any meaningful way?" In 20 years, I want to see

I have also found this. it always seems to be a spec/display conflict and I think it results from us sitting between two very large markets. Consumer space prioritizes decent displays at the cost of poor quality-control/cheap components to keep costs down because that's what sells, and Enterprise space seems to drive costs down by aiming for better reliability at the expense of display options because the buyers are not the users, so the bad display kind of "doesn't matter" to the buyer and doesn't actually prevent work getting done like insufficient RAM might. The final nail in the coffin is Lenovo et. al, leaving off good display options so they don't cannibalize adjacent or higher product lines. :( Pretty massive first world problem, but annoying nonetheless.

But do you expect any different from real UBI without any empirical evidence? It is easy to speculate that citizens would achieve some magical enlightened higher state of being where they would dedicate themselves in pursuit of the arts and entrepreneurship. The reality may be that most would just spend the day gaming and smoking marijuana. By discounting the Arabic states, it is doing social science and economics a disservice just because they do not fit the expectations of advocacy and academia. I don't think endemic corruption means that the Arabic model have absolutely zero value, they are hardly the only wealthy country with pervasive grift. Letting political views and biases leak into social science and economics is not helpful at all.

Spring of Java ORM is here,

ObjectiveSQL is an ORM framework in Java based on ActiveRecord pattern, which encourages rapid development and clean, codes with the least, and convention over configuration.

Features

1) With one annotation your Class has fully featured capabilities of SQL programming

2) Easy to relational(has_one, has_many, beglongs_to) querying and paged querying

3 Java expressions(arithmetic, comparison and logical) can be converted into SQL expression directly

>I really wish there was some certifying body that would put me through the whiteboard guantlet once, and then I could just share my score to companies I apply to.

In my field (actuarial), we have a ridiculously long credentialing process that involves 10 exams, which can take 8 or so years to complete. And many have the opinion that the tests are unfair and wish they could just have technical interviews instead.

Then there are some companies that don't trust the credentialing process and give you a technical interview anyway, even after you had proved yourself by finishing the exams.

Not taking money from the people you’re covering is the barest minimum of journalistic ethics. Regardless, of whether you or I agree with anything else on that site, Adam Davidson, or whoever else, failing to meet that basic standard should be patently disqualifying.

This is a truly remarkable take I've never heard before. I honestly wonder if it's true.

If it's actually true--and if poor quality of work and reputation mean nothing, just leetcode--it seems like that is just a side effect of extremely rapid expansion and/or churn.

Because no employer would willingly hire people like that. That'd be absurd. So the only reason that would be possible if the hiring manager never got wind of someone's work ethic or quality. And it seems like that's only possible with enough disjointedness in the people network, combined with hiring practices that don't care about it.

Supabase the Open Source Firebase Alternative
As an SRE, we accept that different regions will fail every now and then. So how to mitigate them is the big question.

I think having a database replicated to 2 regions and load balance all traffic to both region has a big impact on performance and read after write consistency
The solution is what the last option suggests; the second region is prepared as a fallback solution only and not as a live solution. This way, you accept that you will still have some downtime and maybe some data loss too whenever a failover takes places. But this is much better than going down for hours, and is much better than having 2 regions in Active-Active mode where your system will suffer from performance and data consistency
So accept you will have failures, work on the better solution. The perfect solution does not exist. There is no 100%

With a clicky switch I expect it to actuate when I hear it. With a tactile switch I expect it to actuate when I feel it. With a linear switch it depends on the switch. You can get linear switches that actuate as soon as you'd like.

The more I think about this the more useless it seems. Several of the keyboards he tested come with your choice of switch, different switches with different actuation points, and so you can't just say Keyboard X has a latency of Y without mentioning what switch you were using if you're going to measure from the beginning of the keypress.

You are right that people that buy a Mac don’t get it for the FreeBSD kernel. However, most people that complain about not being able to run Linux on a M1 can be just as productive with the alternatives on macOS.

For 99% of other things that run in a terminal, you can get it to work in FreeBSD/macOS. Also, for Python folks, there is anaconda distribution that is agnostic to the underlying OS. Ditto for node or ruby development. Also Gui Emacs and vi have decent ports to macOS.

That said, I guess if you are doing some custom server side development that really needs Linux, you will have a hard time with M1 - virtualization and emulation don’t mix and your code might not be portable enough.
What was Aragorn's tax policy? [video]
In the past, MacTeX team had a problem with a particular OS release (when SIP was released and enabled) and, I was in the middle of my Ph.D. At that time, had no time to wait for problems to resolve. I got VMWare, installed Linux, tuned my LaTeX environment and never looked back.

I'm sure that all the problems are resolved by now but, my workflow is mature now and everything is working flawlessly. Considering I'm going to need Linux anyway, did no efforts to move my LaTeX workflow back to macOS again.

Since the code I'm developing is going to be used in a lot places, I'd rather develop it in two distinct environments and run tests on each. Also, I like to experiment with different development tools on different environments. Experimenting and experiencing each environment broadens my horizon. Also it's more enjoyable IMHO.

Didn't play with Macports TBH. I don't think I'm going to use it but, will take a look to it.

Another thing is, I don't customize/change my terminals much. When you manage 1000+ servers with a team, customizing each terminal to your liking is not feasible so, I can work pretty fast with stock bash or anything. I'm old school and don't like flashy console setups anyway. :D

Meet-ups may work. I met my current employer at a local Python meetup and got offered a position right away (I am 40+ too, by the way). I had recently moved to the area and had no contacts.
There's a lot of demand for pre-IPO stock. Facebook was selling on the private market for ~$40-$45 per share before listing at $38. Uber had a similar run-up. Carta provides some equity tools for start-ups (at least, I've used their 83b product) and they want to expand to be a marketplace for helping sell that stock. Forge Global is similar operation (if you create an account there btw they were giving free Crunchbase data for a while).

These equity transactions aren't as simple as buying and selling an ETF though. Moreover, most of the existing sales have been private, so sellers (e.g. accredited investors) and buyers (e.g. employees and founders) are at a steep information disadvantage when jumping into these deals-- Carta and Forge know the consequences, but the market participants do not. Moreover, the space isn't necessarily well-regulated. So that's a prime business opportunity: you have people who are too "dumb" to create a market themselves, but who want to transact. The snark in my narrative comes from personal observations that it's very easy to get burned (even in successful exits) and that these middlemen are typically even less trustworthy than big banks.
