0.17 is a rule of thumb we use in diving. There are many like it which allow a little leeway in case there's a slip-up. pp02 can surely go higher than 1.2 (I know personally) before causing problems in some people. That said, I bet if you're climbing at 0.14 bar that you've stashed a pony bottle of 100% oxygen somewhere in your kit, just in case, no ?
Just a regular keyboard from the 90s. Not thin. Not light. Number pad and all. No ‘fn’ key under your pinky, and ideally no windows key either. I guess the “brown” keys from the article sound like what I would expect one of those old keyboards to feel like.

I suppose it can have a caps lock indicator. But I can’t think of any reason I will ever need my entire keyboard to glow blue.
While a lot of purchases were made through Amazon, lockdowns make people limit their purchases to the absolute essentials.

So volume moght have increased but avg revenue per user would still grow less.
Yes. I think it ends up starting with blue, peaking to a dream keyboard which looks different for different people, then finally moving gradually back to keyboards resembling mainstream usage.
Fair enough. I guess if you use the bump of the keys as your resting point then linears could give you trouble. I tend to just gently rest my fingertips on the keys without depressing them at all (I'm on 45g linears right now with no trouble). I guess it just depends on your style.
I like both. I love the feel of my (former) 2015 MacBook Air membrane keyboard, and I love the feel of my Cherry MX Browns. Both of them are unique in their own ways and suitable for some things.
An added bonus is that a mask and big sunglasses foils facial recognition. I'm keeping the mask everywhere in public for as long as armed guards don't physically stop me.
Just want to say that Hopper is fantastic. Love the simple app design and I’ve gotten some great deals with it. I’m at least one HN reader who does a lot of travel planning on his phone.

The only time I remember the predictions failing badly was booking a flight for the 2017 full eclipse. Hopper kept advising that prices would fall, and no surprise, they never did. Obviously historic data was little help for a rare social event like an eclipse.
>Ink, for example, is Turing-complete

So it's PostScript. But, could you get a game with the same playability and freedom such as Adventure?

I mean, roaming around and using objects tryung stuff without being annoyed because of the interface as it happens with hiperlink based games.

Because doing that with if6 is dumb easy, you can create better stories with a much higher interactivity and emergent gameplay.

On games written with Ink, most games I've seen are as "complex" as the Lone Wolf adaptations for Android.

If you don't mind, what things would magically break if the case of the answer does not match? Comparisons should be case-insensitive anyway.

Also, since DNS labels are strictly ASCII (this is why punycode exists), why converting all of them to the canonical upper case won't be a good idea?

I got a board with silent reds (Durgod K320), and they felt really soft after using blue switches for a while before that. So I ordered a Leopold with black switches, figuring I'd enjoy the quieter linear switches but make fewer mistakes.

I was amazed at how much different the black switches felt. Pressing them a few times felt good, but when I actually tried to work with it my hands got tired really quickly and it became distracting.

The K320 with silent reds is now my go-to board, except for a wireless Vortex Tab 75. I'm currently waiting on a Tab 75 with silent reds, and I hope that will be my One True Keyboard.

Wow; I hadn't seen keychron before, but I just may get a C1. I've been looking to switch to a tenkeyless.

Is it really $50 for a hotswap with double shot keycaps and a set of switches?
It seems googling for "what did middle english sound like" often comes up with a link to this video as the definitive example, but how do we know it was pronounced phonetically, or what the phonemes were?

It sounds lovely, and I would like to imagine it sounding like that - but I don't see how we can reconstruct its pronunciation reliably over 500 years later.
Hah! I know a guy who has a literal stockpile of the black wired Microsoft ergonomic keyboards. I only found out because I too love this keyboard and we both think the obsessing over MKs is silly

At home I use buckling springs (Unicomp model M style plugged into an iMac) - I live alone and can make lots of typing noise. In the office its a Filco with some color Cherry switch I forget but its a lot better than the keyboard that came with the box they supply.

I wasn't saying never use a phone when you can use a website. I was saying why have a dedicated phone app when you can just use the browser app on your phone. Or are you saying you downloaded an app on your phone just to lookup taxi numbers?
Check out Leopold products. Quality build, professional appearance, not too expensive (relatively speaking).

Beyond that you're looking at either custom builds or Topre boards
Most of the cooked food is at least 100C for a while. Dishes and utensils in commercial establishments (at least in the US) are by law sanitized either with temperature or bleach solutions. (The silverware drawer is another matter.)

It's pretty hard for bacteria to live on a 200C grill. "Unclean" and "harboring live bacteria" are different things.

You'd be surprised how much care is paid to hygiene in commercial kitchens. It's quite different than cooking at home, as the stakes are a lot higher.
I imagine it's probably quite hard to manage hardware for remote teams. Ok, fine if you have a few employees only.

But when you have 50? 100? Who is going to buy and prepare the laptop for the new sales manager? As a minimum, you'd probably need a separate IT person for this, possibly more depending on the team size. And when something breaks, you need to organize the transport, fix it and ship it back.

So for me, this seems like an incredible product.

Founder Chris Herd is super active on social media. It's cool how he has built a very strong following that helps him to promote his company.

And he's also very vocal about remote work, with strong opinions. Like "Any company that forces everyone back to the office full-time will not make it through this decade".

Statements like these are strong and provocative, but they work getting people's attention. And most of the stuff he says is probably true :)

That's funny, I got anxiety not because I mainly could not solve algorithms problems (looking at you, graphs) but also because I could not beat my colleagues or friends who started to play too.

I used to play heavily on CodeSignal, a similar website. They used to post daily challenges back then. But there, it wasn't about reaching the best time complexity or whatever: the number of characters was more important, like on Code Golf.

You first try to solve the problem and then you try to reduce your code to the minimum. The level of anxiety was starting to be really hard to handle and I'm happy I stopped playing this. Also, writing creative small codes won't help you when developing real softwares that much since most of the times, small codes or one liners are terrible in terms of time complexity or memory.

I learned a few tricks and a lot of things about how some languages work through this practice and by looking at people solutions but I'm pretty sure it would have been better to read some algorithms courses instead.

I was not even remotely convinced that I would find a mechanical keyboard to be a superior option 6 months ago. But I was frustrated after my Apple Magic Keyboard 2 died. It was probably even under warranty, but mid-pandemic that was unapproachable.

A friend recommended Keychron. After 6 months of using the K1, I'm not sure I could ever go back. I've bought a case for carrying it around, because as another comment mentions the keycaps are prone to coming off in my bag.

I have the red low-profile switches, and they're not as quiet as a membrane keyboard, but they're not loud enough to annoy the only other person I share a work/living space with, so that's all that matters.

The wireless is definitely an important feature for me as well. My Macbook Pro is already a dongle party without needing to plug a keyboard in as well.

It's not as low-profile as the Magic Keyboard 2, but it's a tradeoff that I'm prepared to accept. It's well and truly earned it's place in my backpack.
I was so perplexed because I thought maybe they weren't targeting people under age 25 specifically because of some kind of anti-predation-of-young-people regulation.

Beautifully put. That matches up with my own experience learning classical OOP, even if I'm now comfortable with other models.
Luckily not all federal contractors think like this. Some would report this behavior and some of us would be quite happy to report it. There are those that still believe in doing the right thing, value tax payer dollars, and want to deliver for the American people. If only more of us wanted to completely rip out the rot.

One at a time. This year I've boxed the main ones into my quarterly goals. Been a bit postponed so far, but deploying the first of the 4 today. It's easier to focus on only one goal for a short time than trying to work on everything.

The first two are personal projects so won't be sharing them.
Shouldn't a company in a country with these[1] practices rightfully be met with distrust in these contexts? Spoiler alert: I'm not a culture (or politics) relativist.

I'm going to lift one part of your quoted material, because this should get more eyeballs:

> We have not found a single instance of a child infecting parents.

That is a really strong claim. It also goes against common logic.

Children are more likely to be asymptomatic. Fine. They tend to resist the virus better, and avoid severe cases even when they do get it. Yup, all good so far. They are less likely to infect others around them. Still makes sense.[ß]

What doesn't make sense is that transmission probabilities in the list are all above zero. From a purely mathematical perspective, transmission probability of "infected child -> parent" should not be zero. I am not stupid enough to dispute scientific finds, but I strongly suspect there are more factors in play.

Also the cynic in me notes that "infected child -> parent" is NOT the same as "infected child -> adult".

ß: Recent news indicates that the latest variants do spread more aggressively among children and teens, and are more likely to show up with symptoms in them. I haven't seen anything about increased mortality among the same groups, though.
This is cool. I was thinking of using Elixir/Phoenix for a browser game. A different concept, though.

I think only 1 in 6 or 7 are allergic to anything if you mean seasonal allergies to pollen what most people seem to mean when they say they feel poorly from allergies its only half as prevalent.

That is to say most people don't have allergies to confuse with illness and although you might wake up feeling poorly for a number of reasons flu sufferers are liable to suffer from one or more distinguishable symptoms for example for myself when I've contracted the flu I always get a really shitty body ache.

It's possible to get a cold without also having a fever. You are absolutely correct about that but even in that instance the majority are liable to be able to know when they are ill. They just don't stay home because the social pressure has been in favor of bringing your sickness to work as if you were doing everyone a favor by showing up and making your cohorts sick.
I've gone through the cycle and ended up with Silent Red as well. Though I still sub to r/mk and drool at people's build occasionally.

Maybe an iKBC CD108. They are pretty easy to get a hold off. No real bells or whistles. It does have a windows key (I'm not sure I've ever seen a full size keyboard without a windows key to be honesty). Your choice of Cherry switches including browns.

It seems as if birds get a lot more intelligence from a given amount of brain than mammals manage.

But it is curiously limited. For example, ravens easily understand stuff hanging on the end of a string, and pulling the string up in stages to get it. But they cannot understand pulling a string on a pulley down to bring the titbit up.

Federal contractors as well.
"Interface" is exactly the right word. You're never going to capture the feel of a parser-based game with a choice-based engine because the input is so limited. But don't mistake the limitations of the UI for the potential complexity of the underlying game.

That said, if you remember games like The Secret of Monkey Island, they attempted to capture the feel of a traditional text adventure, but they swapped out the parser for a visual interface with a limited vocabulary. I've seen at least one attempt to do something similar with Twine (a traditionally choice-based engine).

What do you do instead?

It seems to me that having tough interview questions can allow a company to be less credentialist, because they know their questions are tough enough that anyone who solves them is qualified to work there. My resume doesn't necessarily make me look like a senior developer, but leetcode mediums are no trouble for me and with a little effort I think I could learn to solve hards quickly and reliably as well. So I've got a comparative advantage applying at a company that has that sort of interview.
Too bad MD5 is broken. To really confuse things, the attackers could generate an innocent but colliding binary.
We vendored all of our third party dependencies into our Bazel build. There were a lot and it was a giant PITA but over a multi-year horizon it was worth it. That doesn't mean it's the right choice for every business but it paid off for us.
An old i3. It's a carbon fiber body on an aluminum frame. The outside body panels are not carbon fiber, just plastic, which is better if you bump into things. It's a rear wheel drive with the motor on the rear axle and the center of mass is good. The torque curve is great, like on all eletric car, and it's a pleasure to drive it with one pedal. It turns very well which is nice inside cities.

On the downsides, it doesn't go very far very quickly because of its small battery. So I sometimes use other cars from my local non profit car sharing, like the Jaguar I-Pace or Toyota Corolla (which I like despite it being a fossil car).

There are so many things I love about this.

BYOS (bring your own storage) is long overdue. The amount of waste (time,money, and electricity) in running app servers which primary purpose is just to gate access because all users data is stored in a single database. With BYOS, all of the logic can be moved into the front end (SPA), will scale nearly infinitely, and greatly improves security.

$50 pricing until it's spent...I also love this because I hate monthly fees, you nailed it on the head. It's not quite as cheap as my legacy google storage ($2/TB), but that storage isn't available via an API.

Any plans for a javascript library?
So, even BCG knows its a systemic issue.
Hah, definitely didn't follow those steps myself, although I can see that being a popular template. I do hope mechanical keyboards become less associated with clicky switches over time. Before I realized the hobby wasn't necessarily dominated by loud clacky sounds, I not only didn't see the appeal, but actively detested the whole idea. +1 for silent linears.

Also, wanted to mention ergonomic layouts - would love for that space to be more mainstream! Some really cool stuff out there; I'm looking forward to getting a 3D printer someday and building some Dactyls.
Swap. Sell. Buy and Give Away
Swap is a potential startup that taps into the second-hand market and maximizes return on Investment with minimal funding.

We are building a platform where people can swap, giveaway and sell products, the UI is minimal and easy to use cause that’s our goal to give users more UX and functionality, right now I have one android guy but with current market we shall be the first in Kenya

Am looking for experienced kotlin developers with an eye to design and functionality, to join me as a co-founder

Thank you, this is exactly it. The problem with inheritance is specifically overloading, and not anything else. Composition as it is being used currently has its own drawbacks (need to manually delegate every method, no clear model for instance construction, the need to duplicate fields across classes, etc.). I wish overloading was just removed from inheritance or that composition had better language support.
There's two kinds. The certs do need paying for and test centres. Trailheads are free and give you badges. These are great as an intro, but I think many employers want the real certs.
They have various product families and more than 2 drivers.

I need the bcmwl driver (dkms) for some 4-5 year old HP laptop and it has severe problems with some APs and slight problems with others. Overall it's just bad.

Debugging it showed that it's only a thin Linux wrapper around some huge binary blob they use. So not really FOSS, but of course that's what we are used to with firmware. This was't really firmware, they use the blob on the CPU IIRC. (It's been years I debugged this, since then Broadcom is just something that raises a red flag to me.)
It depends. If the "wrong cause" is one advocating for fewer rights for fellow humans, most reasonable humans feel hard to sympathize with the person complaining about it.

The sexy plastic switches on the PDP-11 console panel are not easy to toggle, to operate from the bottom or the top of the switch.

When you are flipping through a few hundred words of bootloader or debugger, I was way faster on simple, metal toggle switches.

I will try to find a better example, there are a number of these demonstrations on YouTube:

I liked the essay and certainly learned a few things. But how are you going to put the stuff about references to use? It's going to be limited how many people you know who also know a candidate you're interested in.

I really enjoy office culture when you have a good set of people, but it gets distracting from actual work. That being said the real detractors to office life for me are having to commute and any sense of being geographically bound in order to be near the office. So the compromise is every other week I go to a coworking space where I know the regulars.
