>Designed for Mac

This means "we changed the keycaps and remapped two keys" in the mechanical keyboard world. Trust me, this isn't my first time looking through these. There's nothing "designed for Mac" about that. Just look at the non-Mac Model S Professional. They look literally the same except for the keycaps.
But I want one with a Mac keyboard layout, not just keycaps.
FoxPro 2.x was absolutely amazing. Incredibly fast, easy to develop with once you understood how it worked. And portable - 2.5 had a version that ran on SCO Unix.
Step 4: accuse others of doing the same thing you’re being accused.
Larry Flynt was someone pushing the boundaries of his day, even in the world of pornography (Hustler was more explicit than Playboy, for example). Today's random pornographer is not a "Larry Flynt".

Flynt is more akin to Snowden or Assange, or even Parler, in boldness. (not comparing content, just free speech boldness)
Why the staggered layout? I'd kill for a laptop with a matrix key disposition (called "ortholinear" in some circles).

I got a ROG Phone 3 recently, and while it does come with some OEM software, most of it is actually pretty useful. The only obvious "yeah you were paid to put this crap on my phone, not because you thought it improved the experience" application was Netflix, which - while entirely useless to me - is a pretty decent showing as far as OEM bloatware goes.

Still not quite as clean as a Nexus/Pixel but the best install experience I've ever had on any non-Google device, and the only one I've ever decided not to install a fresh ROM on.

The title on HN is misleading yes. But the issue is still serious as the severity in the report indicates.
I think it all goes back to your original statement about bitcoin enthusiasts being more likely to have a better understanding of fiat than the average person. Upon closer retrospection, you are probably right, because even if the BTC market might be dominated by bandwagoners who are only preoccupied about asset value and the potential for reselling it for real fiat money once it's at a desired price, the "enthusiasts" probably do in fact understand the technology enough to understand its implications.

Go is effective for whole-system reimplementations, but it's not a good fit for 1:1 C library reimplementations; that's a place where Rust shines.
If I want a small keyboard I want it with a built in pointing device, and those are hard to find. Lenovo trackpoint keyboard is one of the few I can think of.
That's interesting! I'm an American currently in Costa Rica. I use Apple Maps in the US and its quality is decent enough. Here in Costa Rica, Apple Maps is virtually unusable. It says it can't provide directions for something just down the street, <1 km away.
Lots of men and women prefer to be submissive in some or many contexts, whether personal or professional.

Our overculture highly values the drive to dominate, win, take control, but make no mistake - this is not the inherent imperative of all human beings.

In fact, surveys indicate that at least in the sexual arena, about 75% of women prefer to be submissive. Many men do as well. This is the basis for consensual BDSM.

And lots of people do, as adults, more or less consciously prefer to be submissive in their life to bosses or spouses. There are many wise reasons to choose this path.

It may be true that parents don't want their child disempowered. However, it may also true that, at least as much as a child can want anything, the child wants to be disempowered. I find it really interesting that you and others don't even realize this is a possiblity - that's how much submission has been denigrated in our culture.

That means that the parents are pushing their child to do something against her own preferences and away from her own happiness, just because they don't like it. A rather foolish and selfish thing to do. But it's understandable given how little our culture can even acknowledge the value of honorable and confident submission.
Even the dumbest and oldest PS/2 keyboard in your attic had some firmware blob on it. This is preferable.
You are comparing centralized entities to a decentralized one. I don't believe it's a fair comparison.
We were "IO-bound" using a setup that executed a maximum of two requests at a time, completely blocked processing new requests until earlier ones fully completed, and took a long time to execute requests because of unexpected latency in a dependency, while 20 frustrated users sat in a room hammering the refresh button and dumping more tasks onto the queue.

You're absolutely right when you say there was something seriously wrong with the setup! The problem is that it was more or less what you'd get if you set up a default Rails app behind Passenger, and Passenger did this because some of the major Ruby gems weren't threadsafe (e.g. Rails, until 2008), which comes back to concurrency problems with the ecosystem.
Cool. Let's lobby for regulations that force those companies to hire us. We're gonna make so much money.
I don't get it either. Most of the custom mechanical keyboard market seems to focus on 60% keyboards, but personally I use keys beyond that set. The reasoning I read on the internet is that customizable keyboards let you choose the keys you actually need... But I've done a lot of thinking, I need keys beyond 60% all the time.

My suspicion is that the market for TKL keyboards or even full keyboards is already served by the big brands so the custom vendors have a harder time.
A pixel 2 is a 4 year old phone... I wouldn't be surprised if your battery is performing at a fraction of its original capability, and that might be slowing down performance too. It's not like Apple is immune to this either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batterygate
Helicopter parenting aside, those kids are probably better off for it, too.
Ok, well maybe this thread can be a tiny part of the solution to that stigma. First off herpes comes in two primary variants: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Most humans on Earth (between 60% and 95%) have HSV-1, and it's estimated that around 16% of humans have HSV-2. Herpes is extremely common. If you want references or more info, see the wikipedia page [0].

According to the article, the researchers are currently focused on HSV-1, and may work their way to HSV-2.

Thanks for speaking up, rhodozelia. The currently prevailing voice of HN appears not to be on your side, but you have 30 customers who are on your side, and you probably represent the views of many. We need to hear more of your side.
Matias makes probably the nicest feeling switches of any modern company, though. They seems to have some QA problems though.
I think scraping is just inherently brittle whether you go by the DOM traversal or by regex. AI may have the best potential. Regex can be slightly more brittle like you point out with commented html or myriad other problems, but it can also be less brittle than DOM if you craft more lenient patterns. The main problem I found was regex's not being performant due to recursiveness and stack overflows (Google's RE2 lib addresses this). My favorite performance trick is to use negated character classes rather than a dot, /<foo[^>]*>/
>>Average salary is probably around $100k. Even the techs with high school educations can make in the range of $40-60 an hour and generous overtime.

Do you have a source for that? I'm surprised as when I contracted at the Intel fab in PHX, the workers in the actual fab were not making anything close to that. Management maybe, but not actual line workers. The standing joke was "they were working for the stock"...
Hmm, I've always felt the opposite about their reporting. I've always thought they went out of their way to be accurate when expert attention to detail is necessitated, in comparison to other news outlets (regardless of whether they're left or right leaning)
In fact, birth rate decreases after a certain level of development. The first world went through the same process, the developing world today is going through that process much more rapidly.

So the solution is probably to help them develop ASAP.
Under some definition of "efficiency" that isn't too fussed about whether the work was actually desired, sure. Crapware isn't really about the quality of the code, though. This could be the most pristine and elegant piece of software ever written under the hood, but that doesn't mean anyone wants it to come preinstalled on their laptop.
Yes the platform was used for MVP and I'm currently working on building a custom board in which I have an option to add new features..
Seems like an issue of data flow then. You usually don't work with dynamic random content and sanitize/clean up your data before working with it.
I had a similar idea, but I think you've overengineered it slightly:

- Learn morse code for numbers 0 to 9

- Build simple app to run phone vibrate for each number

Personally, I think this would be better with a teammate, who would be able to start/stop/rewind the sequence by having the app listen to a websocket, if the pi-rememberer is asked any questions over Zoom.
Clubhouse and the Social Audio Revolution
I don't feel bad for these people at all. C has held the throne for decades, and while I'm not a Rust fan, C is crap in terms of being a modern language.

No package system, no module system, no memory safety. It only enjoys current popularity because of inertia.
> Why does a keyboard need source code

Because USB is very complicated. I'm sure you could do it 100% with hardware, but then your keyboard's source code will be Verilog since you would need an ASIC
I hope freedom of speech and expression does not die with him. He and many others were important in standing up against the fundies and various groups that wanted to the limit the rights that we take for granted today. If you have not seen it, I recommend watching “The People Vs. Larry Flynt”.
Any keyboard with QMK can be remapped to a Mac layout. Also Macs have supported positional key remapping since forever.
It’s amazing the trauma that can be carried.

If you have children, and they have children, I hope that those grandchildren of yours grow up hearing stories about what a travesty the roll out of KDE 4.0 PLASMA Desktop was.
> MLK and the civil rights movement didn't own their own platform.

Yes, they largely either did or relied on convincing platform owners, not relying on platform entitlement. Now, they and the allies they convinced didn't own a single centralized platform, it was a decentralized network with big nodes like Rev. Dr. King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, and small nodes like the individual members of the movement, which relied substantially on person-to-person face-to-face grassroots mobilization.
They can't. There's literally a different layout of keys. Unless your remapping actually moves, removes and adds physical keys, they can't.
Yup, only the Node runtime is very fast, pretty much 2x-3x times faster than Python 3.6 and Perl 5.26 and 4-5x faster than Ruby 2.4 for non I/O operations (loop, push to array, set hash keys). Only Lua and Luajit beats it. Raku/Perl6 was still slower than Ruby last time I checked. My tests were crunching primes and the Raku foreach loop had worse performance than the loop statement (ugly C-style loop). For number crunching Raku is slower probably because of the rational math.

Anyway, I like Ruby more than any of those languages, so hopefully speed in 3.0 is at least on par with Python and Perl now.
Social audio apps have over *500M active users in China* — Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces are just the beginning.

So what's the bigger picture here? Is this just a pandemic fad? And why does social audio resonate so much with people?

I believe google owns ITA.
As a programmer you need (or actually want) to make use of some of the most acrobatic shortcuts that cross a large portion of the keyboard. Having a smaller keyboard just makes that a lot more comfortable, because you don't need to have hands the size of King Kong to be able to utilise those shortcuts. :-)
Actually, yeah I would prefer that, instead of constantly hearing about things that never come to fruition and eventually tuning them out. It’s like the boy who cried wolf
I wish I didn't have to use Google Maps, but in Switzerland Apple Maps is terrible. I try the switch again every now and then but I've never managed to go a week without having to hop over to Google because Apple is lacking, so I might as well just use Google 100% of the time. It's a real shame. It's not even just convenient features like opening hours and such, but the most basic searches for a business or something...
Plants still have skilled human operators that know better what they need at that exact moment than whoever programmed the system ages ago, like a pilot should be able to fly a plane according to his inputs, so unless you are a system programmer that wants phone calls from all of the projects you have ever worked on saying “the system won’t let us do x” you give the owner all of the tools they might need to do whatever they might want with their equipment.

Confirmations to ensure setting is entered accurately and logging of changing of settings and by whom are good ideas though.

> MLK and the civil rights movement didn't own their own platform. [... etc ...]

And they didn’t demand publication by others’ platforms either. They demonstrated in public spaces, often at great personal risk because they didn’t have equal access to public spaces.

Edit: sibling comment said even better, yes they did own their own platforms.

> Would you have been okay with them being swept under the rug? It's not as if people in power didn't want to.

Maybe you should stop “they”ing me. I’m not other than the groups that you’re using for your point. I’m directly a part of all of the movements you mention, either directly affected or in solidarity. And while you’re at it stop with the past tense.

In none of these cases did any movement demand to be published by someone else’s platform. All have tried to gain recognition sometimes seeking publication. But none have such entitlement to expect to be in someone else’s mouth against their will.
Maybe one day I'll break down and just order the Tactile Pro. I've literally never been able to find another mechanical keyboard with an actual honest Mac layout.
I remember a study suggesting the Chickenpox vaccine suppresses outbreaks of HSV1 and HSV2 https://www.dovepress.com/efficacy-of-the-anti-vzv-anti-hsv3...
They put those keys on other layers. Like on many keyboards, you have a Fn key which activates a layer that makes the F8 key a play/pause button or w/e. Just put the less used but still necessary keys on another layer.

Or configure certain keys to do something different with a double or triple tap. Double tap lshift = [ Double tap rshift = ], etc.

They are highly configurable.

If there's an emergency at a power plant and you need the sysadmin to personally fix it, then that has the potential to be just as big of a safety issue as a malicious actor is. It's trading one form of security for another.
Why go public if you already have money?
I’m telling you this as a person with half a dozen Mac-layout custom mechanical keyboards on my desk and shelves: they can and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Command belongs next to Space, I agree.

Edit: I see. You want four modifiers on the left. That’s pretty uncommon. I remap Caps Lock to Control so I leave Fn in the bottom left.
The pixel 2 was my 4th android, and I honestly hadn't experienced anything quite like the performance issues on the pixel 2 in the last 2 years.
Everybody is piling on Google here, but this is just a lag in Apples store.

Google pushed and update, the sever tests if you have the required update, if not directs you to the app store. Apple haven't made the update available in the store.

We see it all the time in games. It sucks. You have to go play something else for a while.
You still have lots of options for advertising. All that IDFA does is allow you to identify users across apps. E.g. you're using Google Maps and Google wants to use your behavior in the app to then show you ads in Safari later. Or vice versa use your browsing behavior from Safari to decide which ad to show you in the Google Maps app.

Also, it allows Google to track that you've seen an ad and later bought something from the advertiser's website, so the advertiser knows what they get in return for their ad spend.

Well, that's easy, just quit reading science news articles and watch for new items on shelves, or in commercials.
People will step on the path when they are walking on it. Rubber wears down paths, as does any sort of abrasive sand or rocks between the shoe and the road. There is a significant amount of wear even on stone paths from foot traffic. There are some plastics I would be willing to try, like UHMW, but wear resistant plastics like that are also very slippery and not cheap even in recycled form.
I generally use Kayak. Used to use Skiplagged for hidden city ticketing as well. It certainly feels like price discovery has gotten a lot easier...and I tend to book with the airline anyway in case I have to deal with customer service.
The point of cryptocurrency is that you don't need a private or government middleman.

My hope is that Ethereum 2.0 will become popular and there will be point of sale terminals that support it natively.

Lightning is the same as writing checks.

They are worthless transactions until they clear, so you have to make them with trusted parties. Otherwise you may as well just use bitcoin.
I think there really is something to switching things around every once in a while — color themes, lighting, even where I’m sitting and which way I’m facing.

I think part of is is that varying my environment keeps me more conscious of what I’m doing and helps me avoid falling into ruts of behavior.
I don’t see why that’s so controversial. That’s what me and mine been doing for decades. I consider myself lucky to have access to a comment box on a forum someone else operates.
(Too late to edit, but to get the point home): Would you argue that non-blockchain computing is centralized just from the fact that Intel and TSMC arguable control the CPU manufacturing?
Cmd, Alt, Fn, F13~F19 are usually the problem areas, with Fn being located in a completely different wrong part of the keyboard, messing up the modifier key row.
How did DIGG miss this boat?
It's not dead, it's alive and well on millions of machines still perfectly functional and usable.

There are many developers, and thus services, who are not too lazy to support it. I've been able to achieve compatibility down to IE3, and hoping to go down all the way to 1.0, as a lone developer writing a relatively complex project.

Retro-computing is growing at remarkable rates. But aside from that, there are also people out there using older devices not for the retro-computing cool, but because that's what they have.

Telling them to upgrade is like telling a wheelchair user that they need to upgrade to legs. After all, wheelchair users are probably less than 1% of the population, right?

If I were you, as a developer, I would be just a little bit ashamed and embarrassed of the cop-out attitude displayed in your comment.
The "instant" lightning transactions on top of Bitcoin are not instant. They're I.O.U.s that need to clear on the bitcoin network first.

Lightning requires that you trust the person you're transacting with, otherwise you need to wait for it to clear bitcoin, meaning you may as well just use bitcoin or a more accepted, efficient trusted system.

By trying to straddle both, Lightning is the worst of the both worlds.

What happens when everyone in my street buys the same security system? Seems like we all just spent a lot of money buying something that now offers us no benefit.

Short of purchasing a honeypot property with (seemingly) no security system and going full Home Alone on the inside of it, it seems like you're going to need actual security at some point.

/me raises hand.

I run a personal federated matrix server. It has many .. 'quirks', including an upgrade that screwed up my database and required me to redo it from scratch, and a lot of little ongoing http requests (as it syncs room state and what not) I'm doing it as a test run to see if it would work as an IRC replacement at my day job, but based on my experience, I have not found anything as maintenance free as our IRC server.

FWIW, my current primary use case is running a matrix/sms gateway on my phone so I can forward my SMS to my desktop; the xmpp one I used eons ago was slightly more cumbersome.

Quick edit: there is no central authority to register your personal server. you create a /.well-known/matrix/server endpoint on your primary domain that points at your real matrix server (and/or DNS SRV records) and your good to go.
You had the last 3 phones for ~4 years each as well? Android has only existed for ~10 years...

Look, it might very well be a shitty phone. Just saying that after 4 years I'd cut any phone a break. Especially since phones got impractically thin, batteries have really struggled to work the way they do when they are new after a year or two.
Based on my experience, I bet none of your keyboards have the function key in the correct place.
