Hi friends!

I am completely new to mechanical keyboards, but I have some background in web development, and I thought it would be interesting to have a hub of information about available input devices.

Right now the application is in alpha, but I am registering some information so that I can better understand how to arrange it on the page.

All content is written in markdown, and open to anyone who wants to contribute, through pull requests.

The application is [hosted on github pages](https://inputs.fabioluciano.dev/), and uses a [repository](https://github.com/fabioluciano/inputs) (also on github), as a source.

To contribute with keyboards or switches (until then), just create/modify the files in the content directory, at the root of the project.

Take a look at the pages/files of the lily58([page](https://inputs.fabioluciano.dev/keyboards/lily58/)| [source](https://github.com/fabioluciano/inputs/blob/main/content/key...)) keyboard and the cherry mx brown switch([page](https://inputs.fabioluciano.dev/switches/cherry-mx-brown/)| [source](https://github.com/fabioluciano/inputs/blob/main/content/swi...)), to get an idea of how to register.
That's not a surprise because it would make a dent into Apple's profits but did he need a PWA for picking a movie to watch? Share a URL to friends or place a QR code in the living room and that's it.
Google is the only major advertising company which requires you to use their own ad server (DFP, now known as GAM) in order to compete in real-time with its own inventory. Since they are the largest advertiser, everyone is basically forced to use Google's ad server to manage all/most of their inventory, including inventory from other advertisers.

My understanding from the article is that they were using the data they collected about publishers' other advertisers within the ad serving system to give themselves an upper hand. This is not surprising when you learn all of the other more obvious ways that Google gives themselves an upper hand in GAM.
No it doesn't. I'm not pro socialism, communism, nor capitalism (as defined today). However, we can have proper societies with great standards of living, while having extremely rich people (i.e. billionaires). It's been done in the past, and no reason why it can't be replicated other than people not wanting to address the true underlying causes of the messed up financial system we live in today.
> Why do workers remain in low-productivity areas when they could experience wage gains elsewhere? While the literature has proposed a few explanations, including the high cost and risky nature of migration, this column uses the case of China to examine instead the role that pollution plays. It finds that severe pollution can induce workers to relocate from productive to unproductive regions, suggesting that pollution control, coupled with policies facilitating migration, has the potential to bring about extra economic gains in developing countries.
You are right and your explanation is more precise. The fact there was no cognitive or other change due to the 27 extra minutes implies my interpretation. It's possible that the baseline using 5.5 hours of sleep is not the right one to use and 8 hours of sleep might show a positive impact, which the extra 27 minutes is not showing.
It obviously does. In countries like America you have to target and pander to multiple communities with different priorities at the same time to get their vote. A homogeneous society makes everything much easier. I live in one and people are complaining about elderly being a voting block anyways. Multiracial society would divide it even further.
Yes. Growth is either positive, negative flat or in transition between those three. In transition is a negligible portion of any market’s life cycle and if you were wrong you can bail. Even if you thought it was growing and it’s really more flat you’re probably still good because we’re still in the early days of SAAS. It is unlikely that all market niches have been exploited to an inch of their lives. There are not many SAAS markets that actually exist that are clearly declining. If it exists it’s probably still growing. Many people are going to launch a new CRM this year and make a life changing amount of money off it. Maybe the first Polish language CRM for undertakers will be it.
In many ways he is losing out. Rent for example increases with ability to pay (in NZ at least), so if govt raised welfare payments and min wage, his rent could go up without seeing a wage increase.

I do think it's OP fault for not taking action though, not the govt. It's like my dad who has complained he is underpaid for the past 10 years yet still doesn't switch job..

Socialism and communism aren’t the same thing. You can be a socialist and not a communist. These things are all on a spectrum, or several spectra.

Denmark spending an extra 5% of its GDP on the state sector over the US doesn’t necessarily make it more like China in any practical way. In fact the Laissez fair commercial environment in China probably has more in common with that in the US than Denmark. Chinese health care is almost entirely commercial from a practical point of view. Chinese market regulation such as of advertising is very light, much more like the US than Europe. None of that directly follows from political system.
I'm not the parent, but: that the workers control the stuff they use to produce things with.

It only exists in patches today, as worker coops. To make it work in a market economy, it turns out you need a bunch of supporting infrastructure (popular banks and so on) because workers are individually poor. (Greg Dow has done some work on how these structures may be organized, and what the primary problems of worker coops are.<1>)

So by this standard, the closest to socialism that stuck around for a while would've been Yugoslavia. However, the political side of that country left quite a lot to be desired, given how it tore itself apart after Tito died. That the workers leased all their equipment from the state also led to some serious soft budget constraint problems, to my knowledge.

And by this standard, neither the USSR nor China was or is appreciably socialist. The state substituted itself for the will of the workers and then claimed that since it owns everything, as a representative of all the workers, the workers own everything. It doesn't quite hold water, IMHO.

<1> One funny corollary is that it's easier to set up a worker coop the more the costs are variable instead of huge up-front costs: so it would be easier to arrange a software company that way than an industrial refinery, since computers are comparatively cheap. Though maybe not if it's into ML.
I'm a 62 year old software developer. My normal sleep is between 4 and 5 hours with occasional 6 hour sleep according to my Fitbit. Anything less than 4 and I feel tired but I'm putting in a full days work with four or more hours sleep.

In the past while driving long distances, if I started getting fatigued, pulling over to a Motorway services I could fall asleep for 20 minutes and that freshened me up enough to finish any journey.
People raising 5 kids on gov support in Switzerland getting CHF 6500 a month for unemployment. Playing video games all day, smoking weed and nothing to return back to the society.

I’ve stayed in one of these low income housing communities in the outskirts of Zurich. These were Italian immigrants that had trouble finding a job. The wife couldn’t speak German and had no education. Decided to fuck it and go along with raising kids anyways.

If this is not lifestyle, I don’t know what is.
Not sure why you are downvoted but this is pretty common in India and could be a contributing factor.
I think this is naive. I really wish that all bad in the world came from machiavellian people and no one else. But there is a lot of good people (or at least not outright evil people) doing bad things, either through incompetence, ignorance, mistakes, etc. I think questioning the direction technology takes with capitalist incentives (profits over people) is really important. You can't dismiss those concerns by saying "technology is only bad when people are bad".
Feature counts are meaningless. There’s only like a dozen things in Photoshop you actually need. What counts is a smart, efficient UI with a good hierarchy and consistent arrangement. Gimp fails entirely at this, not any feature issues. I’d happily strip 80% of its features for an interface that doesn’t awkwardly overlap buttons at the least convenient moment.

Photopea instead copies Photoshop’s interface, which is its real asset.
There is, click on red 'Account' button on top.

I think personifying economic systems as having agency is no worse than person personifying chemical processes as being the result of the reagents "wanting" to be in a lower energy/higher entropy state. Not strictly correct, but useful for discussing among humans whose brains are hardcoded for pareidoliac personification.

Also, I find the act of getting hung up over the phrasing of inanimate objects "wanting" to follow the laws of physics just derails the conversation for no good purpose.
Not to excuse signal but has the response really been justified for a beta feature being tested in a single country? The signal press release and activity on the forums makes it clear that they're asking for feedback.

Their intentions were never hidden either, you can see interviews dating 2017 thst matches their current stance.
ToS and Privacy Policy links don't work for me in the App on iOS. Big no no since it's one of these Apps where I don't really want to sign up and reveal my information in the first place. The sign up process kind of ruins the simplicity of the idea for me.
They're both quite awful but one thing that really irks me is that on the Apple Store, every search for something first shows a result from a competitor product.

Search for WhatsApp? First result is an ad for Twitter and WhatsApp is the second result, half hidden (on an iPhone SE). Search for my bank? First result is another bank. Firefox? First result is Chrome. Doctolib (the app for taking covid vaccination appointments in France, and the main doctors appointment service in general)? Another one that's probably more or less a scam. Google Maps? You get an ad for Coyote.

It wouldn't be so bad if the ads didn't look almost exactly like real search results, and if the actual results were not hidden below the bottom of the screen.

The general quality of apps on the Google Play Store might be worse, but this behaviour never happens there. When you look for an app name, you get that app and not one of their competitors that paid more.
There's no biological theory underpinning cherry picking of a handful of Sweden's neighbours. It's not like Sweden is ground zero of some genetically identical but non-deadly strain of SARS-CoV-2 that inexplicably can only spread within physical proximity of Stockholm.

So not surprisingly, if you do the cherry picking honestly by including all Sweden's neighbours, including Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania etc, then Sweden stops being the worst in that little bounding box and we're back to Sweden disproving the models. Which it has done, comprehensively, because no model or theory postulates a Nordic exception.

Exactly the same as in any other country. Implying that a community is homogeneous just because they have the same skin color is pretty racist.
Can we not have random inappropriate and uninformed comments about ADHD, please? Whether intended or not, this comment plays into old, tired stereotyped thinking that really, all ADHD people need is to have more self-control. Thinking that ADHD is about self-control and not wanting to delay gratification shows a complete lack of understanding of what the disorder actually entails (in particular, ADHD qualifies as neurodiversity, and shares many genetic indicators and symptoms with autism spectrum conditions).

On top of that, it's completely unnecessary for the point you are trying to make.
That assumes the selection process is effective, but FAANGs are all monopolies so there's very weak selection pressure for them to distinguish candidates correctly. They don't get punished for their mistakes.

I'd argue the people at FAANGs are the people who are best at hitting the requirements of a FAANG. That's still a competition and they'll brain drain from smaller companies, but it creates arbitrage on unrecognised ability and other opportunities may exploit that (e.g. starting your own venture relies much more on genuine ability than where you stand on a FAANG progression matrix).

I was contributing to an open-source FAANG project recently and the oversights they'd made in the codebase were surprising to me. There were very basic errors and mistakes and the people managing the codebase didn't understand what some of the functions were even supposed to do. The API wasn't consistent. Tests were testing behaviour that was outright wrong (and, somehow, passing). Feature prioritization was way off. There were half-hearted implementations of some features that were bad enough that they weren't useful. They weren't talking to other departments working on the same basic area (who are also open-source, and hold the state of the art), so there were important features that weren't ported. The project was small, too (but not unimportant).

I don't have high market value, but I was fixing some of these bugs in minutes. The guys managing that project are obviously a lot better than me overall, but I think it betrays a flaw in the institutional structure. Those weaknesses in the codebase would be cheap to fix, the problem is the FAANG standards are such that they are able to go unrecognised.
Also, working for these FAANGs to get the high salary means moving to the US, which for many Europeans has become undesirable the later years.
That's some next level loonie conspiracy theory.

Chennai's extremely hot. Having been there, intuitively I'd suspect a Spain-like siesta would work very well there and boost productivity.

The nights there are extremely warm too. I wonder if that's a factor in ensuring that 5.5 hours of sleep is no worse than 8?
Also, for many people, making $100k as an indie is infinitely more satisfying than making the same cash working for a FAANG.
His foundation has been in Africa for years. I think his view of whether the plan is impractical or not is more informed than a cynical commenter that has zero experience.
My argument is that if you take a billionaire and take away 90% of their wealth, they're still filthy rich. If the way you do this is by taking away 90% of everyone's wealth, you'll make everyone except the rich suffer badly, and when the dust settles, the rich will still be ahead. Allowing for large-scale failures like these only creates lots of unnecessary suffering and burns a lot of money.

As for whether "the rich gaining large sums of money doesn’t matter much either" - if you're asking if it doesn't matter much either to them then yes, this is the flip side of the marginal value of money point. A person with $1000 in the bank will be much happier about getting extra $100 than a person with $1M. It's one of the core (if not the core) argument towards reducing income inequality - moving some money from the rich to the poor is a net increase in happiness and value in society.

One strong caveat being, building things that require big capital expenses, like factories or specialized machinery or infrastructure. These things require being able to front up a lot of money, and at the same time, they don't mesh well with democratic decision-making. So you want to have some way in a society for an individual, or a small group of individuals, to be able to take control over large amounts of money - otherwise factories and bridges and utilities just won't happen. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to allow that small group of people to capture the entire wealth they generated, though.
Well ads probably generate more revenue, so that could be one reason.
Sure, that's why I said it was ethical more than legal. That being said, a lot of the tech company marketing materials talks about how fair the ad auction process is. Stories like this make a mockery of such arguments.

I really want this case to work, as I think the dominance of FB, Google and soon Amazon in this space is really bad.
I guess a leak requires private data to be exposed, this is just a collection of public data.
Another point is that he is now free to go out and get another job if he wants to, while still getting the ad money from Photopea every year. That's the whole point of building up a passive income stream - once you uncouple the income from actually working, you are then free to do whatever you want with your time - including selling it for a salary like most people so.
So you write a letter and dont want it published by the recipient, you need to file? Or all software written in a company, file? What about confidential stuff, file?
Foreign aid worked and the stability of Senegal it's proof of that.

USA military intervention is what did not work if you ask me.

Also USA support to Riad regime is not exactly for the good of middle east.

Having said that, Senegal learned to fish a long ago, it's politically stable with a stable (growing) economy and a stable currency shared with other countries and tied to euro.

A startup city would still be inside Senegal territory and be subject to Senegal immigration's laws.

Instead of spending 6 billions to build a one man vanity project, use those 6 billions to open a fund that guarantees loans requests by those people that do not have enough bank guarantees to access credit.

That's how you teach people to fish, IMO.
Raising kids is a significant contribution to society.

Though sadly, as your comment demonstrates, it's a form of labour that is very often undervalued.

Is this just a very roundabout way to diss America without getting Americans angry?

I mean, Denmark is a capitalist country. Chiang puts it down as some sort of socialist utopia, which it isn't. Sure, there's a functioning social welfare state and the government is not that corrupt, and that's great. But the tax cuts for Maersk are the same kind of capitalist regulatory capture / lobby driven corruption you see elsewhere.

Also, my impression of the average Dane is that they're super conservative and will vote against any idea that deviates from the status quo (source: Danish in-laws). Mind you, that's a pretty sensible position given that the status quo ain't half bad. But I wouldn't be surprised if Danes are just as afraid/skeptical of tech and AI as the average American.

(Note: "conservative" on English language forums is sometimes translated to "loves guns and Jesus, hates abortion and gays". That's not the kind i mean, i mean afraid of change. This does include fear of immigrants in the Danish case though)
And guess what, thinks will get way worse with FLoC as it will add an technical unavoidable dependency on Google to all advertisers, even those which are currently independent of Google...

While is at the same time questionable that it actually improves privacy at all and likely will not be ad-block able.
You might be interested in checking out Weaviate (https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate) which supports combining vector search with boolean filters. In Weaviate, the vector index is stored alongside an inverted index, so you get the best of both worlds. At the moment on a filtered search, the inverted index is hit first, so you essentially end up with an allow-list of IDs which are then fed to the vector index. If the id isn't on the allow list the next neighbor is selected and so on.

There are also plans to further optimize this based on how restrictive the boolean filter is. For example, if the filter still matches a lot of of ids (e.g. 50% of all candidates) the approach outlined above works really well. But if if your filter is extremely restrictive and maybe only matches 1k out of 100M results, then this approach is no longer ideal, as the vector index will discard most of the ids it sees. However, in this case it would be more efficient to actually perform a brute-force search on those 1k vectors. This and other optimizations around combined vector and scalar search are on the roadmap.
> Socialist China and USSR had no qualms about using technology against their people and I imagine it scared the hell out of their citizens.

USSR was a rather techno-optimist place, and to this day Russia and other post soviet countries have more positive attitude towards technology than most of the Europe. Experience of socialism have produced distrust only to social and political systems, not sciense and technology.

You have to begin wjth the premise that Moxie would like to add payment integration to Signal, in which cake making another app doesn't fulfill the goal.

You could also argue against the premise that a secure chat app needs payment integration, but that's one to bring up on twitter against Moxie.
I didn't downvote but I do think that a lot of comments didn't bother with actually trying to read the article and understand the points. The article doesn't talk at all about totalitarianism but about people's livelihoods. Dismissing the actual fears of technology putting people out of work by saying "this just happens in totalitarian societies" does not add too much to the conversation.
Usually by buying them. If not that by hiring 10x the amounts of the coders and copy whatever that did and then launch a massive PR campaign.
The point of my post was to point out that their statement that there was no indication was wrong. Not sure what your mention of the EU has to do with anything.

In any case, we'll see. My money's on it being a complete shit show two months from now.
