Here's why it's, objectively, the best thing:

- Super key isn't wasted on window management (a thing you basically are doing a handful of time per sessions). A nicely-placed key is used for things that you do a lot!

- No "oh wow the start menu showed up randomly" BS when you fat finger.

- Control commands "just work" everywhere! Terminal usage is of course easy, but ctrl-a/ctrl-e also work for cursor movement. You get great text maninpulation! Seriously, being able to move the cursor around in any text field is a game changer.

- Isolation of most system-level operations to that key mean that you are unlikely to hit weird conflicts. And if you fat-finger you can Super-Z out of your issue most of the time.
Introduction to CRIU and Live Migration
I switched to Apple computers relatively recently (from mostly linux-based systems, and a little bit of Windows).

Very quickly, the Mac keyboard shortcuts have totally won me over with how much better they are. They’re actually a big part of the reason I got into the computer in the first place. It’s SO much nicer once you get used to it.

Doubly so because I use an ergonomic split keyboard, so the Mac layout means it’s much easier to do most actions without twisting my hands in weird ways. Copy in terminal? Cmd+C. Compared to Ctrl+Shift+C.

Ctrl still works for all of the standard terminal functions.

And, as a big vim user, I can use a vim emulator within my IDE. I can still get all of the IDE shortcuts with The Cmd key, but also all of the vim actions with the Ctrl key still work and don’t conflict. This is arguably the biggest win of all.
Everytime I see mainframes/COBOL mentioned, there's always anecdotes on how constantly short-supply COBOl programmers are[0] and that a surefire way to get a job is to learn about COBOL and mainframes. I'm always curious - are there any people here who have deliberately gone into a career with mainframes for salary/job security reasons? How has it worked out?

No, that person indicates they were only unable to download from the App Store until they fixed their payment method for the App Store. Which... makes sense?

There was an interesting discussion on /r/DJs, about electronic music performances in the late 90s and early 2000s.

One of the comments articulated that the focus was on the music, not the DJ’s performance, and often times the DJ was not clearly visible, nor intended to be.

Another commenter pointed out that as an electronic music producer nowadays, the only way to present your music, as you also pointed out, is to DJ in front of a crowd.

Don’t underestimate a good DJ, though.

But, it was also pointed out that not all good producers are good DJs and vice-versa.

It is also worth mentioning that Twitch has become an increasingly popular venue for DJs to livestream during quarantine. Ephemeral live performances to reduce copyright infringement penalties are the norm.

Interesting times.
Very easy to build with new customisable mech keyboard PCBs. Not tricky.

Problem is utility of tool is low. It's foot dexterity vs finger dexterity, not foot vs hand dexterity and foot dexterity is low and hard to improve. I was unable to derive sufficient utility over six months of continuous use. Would advise against.

I had some colleagues who had worked on mainframe operating systems tailored for the airlines (PARS), and it's built upon TPF as I understand it. I don't know which language(s) it's implemented in, but I do recall them talking about assembler having a major role.
So essentially they're collecting net flow data on every citizen. It may be kind of fun to overload their storage by creating a ton of short connections, probably wouldn't be feasible.
Neat. I’ve got a similar project myself, but for I’m using an Arduino Pro Micro (Atmega32u4), which emulates a standard keyboard. Program it to send your chord of choice when pressed.

I’m planning on using mine as a mute button for conferencing. Last major hurdle is trying to get the global hotkey configured to send a different keystroke to my conferencing app.

That's one of the things Wayland was designed to do, of course implementations can build other things around it that allow privileged clients to break client isolation. The effort could have been put into X11 but it seems the people interested in this would rather put that effort into Wayland.

One seedbox with plex can serve many people though. You can easily imagine cases where the tech savvy family member is running it for the whole extended family.
Is that any different from normal? In my experience, if you're shipping a product on a Linux-based desktop, usually you target a specific set of distributions, i.e. the default configuration of the last few LTS versions of RHEL or Ubuntu or whatever, which at least for those examples all happen to be GNOME based. Customers who come with some weird hacked-up distribution would be on their own for support anyway, they can try it but there's no guarantee it will work. If KDE (or something else) really is doing something different here then you would have had to extend the same amount of effort as you did previously.

It probably took me longer than 14 days to learn vim after using emacs for years, it was worth it - mainly and specifically I switched because vim’s modal nature means fewer finger contortions to reach 6 modifier keys simultaneously as required with emacs - that was giving me RSI symptoms. I’ve been happy with vim since and it tends to be more easily available in remote systems. To each their own though - both editors are ok :)

One of the motivating cases is working around the Nix language's shortcomings:

> The Nix package manager: Nix is a declarative package manager using its own language for specifying packages. Nickel is inspired in part by the Nix language, while trying to overcome some of its limitations. It could be used instead of the Nix language.

Guix sidesteps this all by just using a proper language with macros for its configuration.
I think GameStop, NFT and Crypto is a way for millennials to try to fight back against the old money / old guard (i.e, Boomers). These days even if you work in a FAANG company it is still a struggle to have a place in places like SF/NYC/Seattle. Not to mention student debt. Desperate millennials that see the reality that their paycheck is just gone for paying rent seekers and will never own anything in their life decided to "YOLO" and who knows, might be able to turn back the situation in their favor.

How are we supposed to get a mortgage? If during this pandemic where some housing prices go down but got snatched by Boomers for another investment.

Seems like you just need more pedals.
As soon as you add some kind of macro system or any other content-rewriting, template-with-parameters or functional-abstraction mechanism, you may as well go full Turing. Otherwise people will try to simulate it using the available mechanisms, as they have for example with the C preprocessor, resulting in higher complexity than if you’d just given them Turing completeness in the first place.

So the only real choices seem to be either a pure data format or else full Turing completeness. There doesn’t seem to be a useful middle ground, unfortunately.
Swallowing a PillCam
It depends - so that's already interesting.

There are a whole bunch of fun interesting questions with 64 of the "same" chip card.

With a magstripe card you can't really learn anything interesting from having more than one which you couldn't have learned with a single card and a willingness to disobey instructions from the issuer. The card is just a piece of plastic and a small amount of easily transcribed data in the magnetic stripe - so you can clone them, of course, because that's a thing crooks do, and the clones are indistinguishable.

But a chip card is more complicated, potentially much more complicated, and it will have at least some local storage that isn't transparent. This is part of why it resists cloning, you can buy gear to read and write magstripes (for legitimate purposes) very cheaply, and that's enough to clone a magstripe card, but you can't (shouldn't be able to) read enough data from your chip card to clone it.

Let's number the cards #1-64. Suppose you take card #1 and you try to buy a Coke with it from a card vending machine. Does that work? Or does it need to be "activated" by interacting with an ATM first? If it needs to be activated, after that do cards #2-10 work, or do they too need to be activated?

OK. Now having checked the first ten cards working. What happens if you go to an ATM and change your PIN on card #3 ? Does the old PIN work on card #4 still? Or does it need the new PIN even though you never told it the new PIN?

If you know somewhere that you're certain does offline PIN verification and somewhere you're sure has online (ATMs are always online) try card #5 in the offline place and card #6 in the online place, they might behave differently! In the US you may struggle to find anywhere that does offline PIN because most US outfits seem to treat card present as good enough (which is one reason why the US has very high fraud rates)

Also, find somewhere which gives out very detailed receipts with as much information as possible about your card transaction (e.g. cryptograms, and see if cards #1 and #10 are distinguishable based on the information in those receipts.

Finally, if you're aware of a transaction limit (e.g. maybe only ten contactless transactions between PIN requests) see if the limit belongs to a specific card or the account. If you know (or discover) multiple limits, there might be some in each category.
I had to leave a company over that. I had made a personal fpga construct generator for various easily parameterizable modules. It worked pretty well but it was a mess and needed to be redone pretty badly, but it was good enough. I shared it upon request with a couple of engineers and before I knew it there were probably 25 EEs using it. They wanted "more" and I told them it was a personal tool and they were more than welcome to extend it. This actually angered a few of them and they "reported" me another manager a couple levels higher. He told me that I had to maintain/extend it and to use as much time as it took. (I was a junior engineer at the time). I told him I was there to be an electrical engineer and not a legacy code maintainer. He gave me an ultimatum and being a person that doesn't like ultimatums, I told him I resigned on the spot. I gathered the few items I had on my desktop waved at a couple buddies and went on out the door. I never regretted that decision. Moral (I guess?) be careful of what you share :) .

A limitation I ran across when using B2 was that their pre-defined url generation doesn't allow you to set file-size limits nor does it allow you to set the file name in the pre-defined url. It simply gives you a url to upload it to. So if you are using b2 for storage for lets say image uploads from browser, some malicious user has the ability to modify the network request with whatever file name or file size they want. Next thing you know, you have a 5gb sized image uploads happening....

This pretty much prevents me from using B2 for now.

Oh man the physical card thing annoyed me when I went to use my Amazon card a few weeks ago and it asked me to re-confirm the number.

I feel like we need a campaign to help developers understand just how powerful modern server hardware is when you can get at it directly.

Kestrel is pushing 7 million plaintext requests per second on techempower. And their test rig is certainly not the best you can get these days.

The cloud has ruined our perception of computing hardware. If I have a choice between owning a physical machine in order to meet a performance objective, or building out a 20 node k8 cluster in AWS for some notion of scalability, I am going to shell out for the physical machine and happily drive to the data center to install it myself.

Who would honestly prefer more computers over fewer computers to manage? Even if its in the cloud its still a fucking mess. The entire game of software engineering is about managing complexity. Not creating more of it and making it someone else's problem.
I personally know several people who have made that exact mistake, ending up in not just the wrong city but the wrong province by travelling to St John's when they meant to go to Saint John or vice versa.
The problem with this invective is none of the points really stand alone if the first point happens to based on an incomplete understanding. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case here.

Using Tailwind purely at the HTML level is not the only way to use it, and in fact, this is only supposed to be used at the prototyping stage. it's a pretty standard part of the Tailwind workflow to extract class combinations into helpers that can be reused. If utilization doesn't even get to this depth of use of the tool, can one really consider the usage the tool to be anything more than an abuse?

Frankly, Tailwind was a gamechanger for the way I do vanilla CSS. It makes it really fast for me to prototype, straightforward for me to refactor, and I end up with CSS and HTML that is straightforward and easy to maintain. It is what I always wanted Bootstrap to be, which is the Rails of CSS. Now, there are certainly valid critiques to be made of Tailwind, just as there are valid critiques to be made of Rails. But in my opinion, many of those critiques are red herrings that boil down to abuses of a very useful tool. I always have to ask myself in these situations if the problem is the tool itself (if used properly) or an abuse of the tool.

True, before I learned how to use Tailwind and grokked /why/ people used it, I was suspicious and leaned towards the former. But that's exactly why I wanted to force myself to use it and figure out what everyone else was excited about, even if I didn't feel the same.

Of course, once I learned it a little bit, I felt the same way I did about Rails, which is that it's an extremely useful tool for a lot of jobs. It did not get popular by accident, or because "everyone is an idiot" -- it got popular because it solved a very real problem significantly better than its competition.

I would hope the author eventually opens their mind a little bit to try and figure out why that is the case. They just might experience the same a-ha moment that I did.
Just to add on to what other folks are saying in reply to your question, I studied french in school for 7 years (middle school, high school, and lit in college). At the end of all of that my reading comprehension is really good, my listening comprehension is so-so (highly dependent on region), and my ability to produce sentences in french, in my opinion, sucks. So I'm amazed by these other folks self-assessment. It is high praise for Duolingo, in my opinion.

Sounds suspiciously like the United Kingdom. I don't think a single government service remains that cannot be done online. Not only that, but they actively invest a vast amount of resources into convincing anyone who tries to use physical services (mail, phone) that they are making a huge mistake. Anyone unfortunate enough to have to phone up any government office must to spend at least 3 minutes hearing about how much easier it would be to just use the website.
Work doesn't offer a M1 Mac.
Not everyone can afford to by an M1 mac.

I already invested some money in a laptop last year. not gonna write off a big chunk of that and spend MORE on top of that.

Most of my work is on Linux based OSes. Theoretically I can use a Mac, but I hate Macs. I hate Apple's approach to software (all locked down, but beautiful).

Really like hacking stuff with my OS and I want to be able to replace, atleast basic parts of my computer.

With my current work and personal laptops, I can open the back, replace the RAM, SSDs and even the keyboards (at a stretch).

Before buying into all of this "research," do realize that it is written by academics who are likely to be among the least impacted by releasing a large number of criminals back onto the streets, since many of them live and/or work near college campuses that have their own private police forces to protect them and naturally much lower crime rates than the neighborhoods where many of these criminals would likely return.

It is fashionable for professors to try to alleve the guilt and the shame that they feel for their "privilege" by making such proposals.

But if they focused attention instead on their own sins, like running a grossly inefficient business operation with far too many overpaid and underworked administrators in high-level positions, many students would appreciate graduating with fewer educational loans ... without having to resort to this type of behavior:
