While I was there, they had a big "mobile first" push, and they were encouraging employees to try working exclusively from phones and tablets one day a week. Of course as an embedded software engineer working within their IT policies, I had my gubuntu workstation, macbook, and a gubuntu laptop, and I also had a windows laptop to pull out once a month or so when I needed to run obscure windows only tools.

For a while I had to travel every couple months along with plenty of other coworkers. I worked a few days here and there from other offices and I don't recall there being any particular resistance to it. It was fun visiting other offices. I tried bacon syrup in my coffee in Ann Arbor, climbed around on a giant rope net in Pittsburgh, video conferenced with someone from inside a giant binocular in Santa Monica, and even had Google office lunch in Dubai.

We had a 6-12 month period of ambiguity / lack of project direction, and coupled with Google's (toxic in my opinion) perf/promo system it created morale issues. I personally was finding it difficult to make it to the office before 11AM most days, which my manager called me out on, but within the context of trying to understand why there were morale issues. My team was able to figure out the underlying issues and it got better, but that's right around when I decided to give Zipline a try, and it's been 5 years of really satisfying work with a great group of people.
I also use a Ducky One 2 TKL with Cherry Reds in it. It's been my main keyboard since early 2020, for work, very little gaming... I think the price/performance/feel ratio is perfect. I think I paid $80-90USD for it. The keys have a great tactile response, it's not super loud or clacky. It's a plastic tank and feels like it's built to last.

The USB C connector is a great addition I didn't consider beforehand. I can leave USB C cables plugged into multiple computers and switch keyboards really quick. I've grown to find it very useful.

I may pickup one of the Keychron wireless keyboards in the near future for my personal mac setup, and seeing the comments in this thread about them is definitely influencing me...
Almost forgot since it's a recent purchase! For working on my laptop long stretches and for typing with the iPad, I just picked up a Nuphy Type 1 (https://nuphy.com/collections/shop/products/nutype-f1) and I really like it. It uses Kailh Choc switches, which are mechanical low-travel switches that are the predecessor to the Kailh Box switches—I got the white variety since I like the clicky.

What I love: it's portable, and includes its own wrap-around case with magnetic clip at the bottom that folds up to make a stand for your mobile/iPad. It also has little cut-out bits on the bottom that slot perfectly into the keyboards on the 2016+ MacBook Pro (the butterfly-keyboard models) because the inventor wanted a better keyboard for his laptop. So once you slip it onto the laptop it clicks into place on the top and then it includes a short USB-C cable to plug it into the side port. It also does 3-device Bluetooth with a keyboard shortcut to switch profiles, so you can tap away on your laptop with it and then hit a key combo and type on your iPad. The switches are nice: clicky, but not so penetratingly loud that you couldn't work with it in a public place. For the times that I'm having to do long-form writing or a lengthy stretch of paper-grading on my laptop, it's a terrific purchase, and it makes typing out stuff on the iPad MUCH nicer than trying to tap on the screen.

The downsides: It's a near-exact copy of the MacBook Pro keyboard layout, so you're missing a lot of keys from a larger-sized keyboard. Since it closely matches the laptop layout I can put my brain in laptop mode and deal with it, but it's annoying to be missing things like F-keys. Also the right shift is in a weird spot because of the way they jammed the arrow keys into the layout, so that took a little getting used to. It's also not terrifically light since the aluminum frame is really solid: it's not awful, but it's also not nearly as feather-light as the Magic Keyboard I had been using with my iPad. Also, while the switches are good, the way they've constructed the stabilizers for the larger keys is a little weird and it makes things like the space-bar a little squishier than I like. And the keycaps are technically hot-swap, but I can't imagine finding a set from anyone but Nuphy that would fit this thing.
It's a lot of 65% and 75% now. There's not really the one chase switch anymore, but OG Holy Pandas retained their value pretty well considering Glorious got very close to them.

ThereminGoat coverers new switches pretty extensively:

> Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to reach an agreement with Roku.

Given Roku's justification, I am pretty angered by the lie that Google is telling me. I'd be doubly angered if I was a Roku user.
I'm not the guy you're responding to but I use the very same keyboard. I don't use the keypad a lot, but when I'm typing a bunch of numbers I do.

As far as I'm concerned it has yet to be matched, let alone beat. These days nobody puts the function keys on the left--I can reliably touch-type function keys on the left, I can't reliably touch-type function keys on top.

Also, the ability to switch around ctrl/alt/caps-lock is very nice. I might use caps lock once a year, putting it down by the space bar doesn't matter. Ctrl and Alt I use a lot, they're much easier to touch-type in the shifted positions.

Please, somebody, reincarnate the king!!

Your GP comment is an example both of what we're trying for on HN and what we're trying to avoid. The first two paragraphs are fine, on topic, and make a good argument. The third paragraph goes into snark and resentment, and ends up in reductio ad meta. Your post would be strictly better with just the first two paragraphs. Is that so hard to see? As for chilling effects, I wish we could chill the latter kind of stuff more effectively, or better yet, freeze it out—it would make this site remarkably better.

Maybe the most common quality-degrading thing people do in HN comments is to resentfully represent oneself (or one's view) as the unfairly excluded underdog, the noble freethinker surrounded by a deranged mob, striving heroically to hold up the truth for a brief moment before the rabble crushes them. This simultaneously supercilious and victimish pose is something people do on all sides of every topic. I'd like this community to get a little more conscious about how badly it degrades the threads. That's the intention behind the guideline, "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Perhaps we can find a better wording that will make this clearer.

I don't mean to pick on you personally! It's extremely common, as I said, and the purpose of these moderation replies is not to scold (and certainly not to shame) individual commenters, but to try to shift the culture another notch in the direction of interesting discussion, which is what we're all here for.
The problem is the gain may exist in nominal terms only. It’s possible to make a 100% nominal gain, which will be taxed, even if in inflation adjusted terms you lost 90% of the actual value in the process.
When an objectively flimsy discourse like that circulates widely you have to ask yourself what its actual function is. Its apparent function of describing the world accurately is not being fulfilled, but the discourse persists, so what is its less apparent function (and you got it: it's to naturalize exploitation)?
Remarkably, since the tail end of the Bush administration, it's the opposite: the Fed has desperately tried to get inflation up to its 2% target level, and mostly missing.

The reasons are debatable, but I'd argue that it's mostly because the mechanisms they're using end up inflating the stock market instead of consumer goods.

There are economists terrified of any inflation, but it's an attitude that's more popular with some ideologues than with mainstream economists. You hear a lot about them on TV and the Internet, but not nearly as much in real economics talks. Those ideologues punch above their weight in Congress, but not at the Fed.

The Fed governors aim for a small, controlled level of inflation. Mostly that's to prevent people from just sitting on their money: money stuffed into a mattress doesn't grow the economy. Money in bank accounts isn't much better, since they can be withdrawn at any time. So a little inflation nudges people to either spend their money or invest it. Such is the theory.

Electronics used to come with full schematics as part of the documentation

For a short time in college I worked fixing stereos at a big-name electronics company's east coast repair facility. You could always tell the gear that people had tried to fix themselves before sending it back to us as a last resort. We didn't begrudge them trying on their own. In fact, it was encouraged because home repairs kept the cost of maintaining the repair facility down.

These days, since everything gets chucked in the garbage when it breaks, I guess that logic doesn't work anymore.

As an aside, the Commodore 64 didn't come with the schematics, but they were part of the Programmer's Reference Guide, which many people had, and could be bought in most bookstores.

Bonds also incur capital gains tax) The point of the capital gains taxes/inflation is specifically to incentivize people spending money over saving (if too many people saved money the economy would contract). It's not a perfect tool, but it works somewhat.

Section 5.1 gives a good example: an image sharing service that processes images using libpng. This has to be combined with a document.write() of HTML in C, which is realistic.

Someone who controls the image data can perform an XSS, i.e. steal your credentials for the website, or your credit card info if that's stored server-side. That's not as valuable a target as controlling your computer, but it's not nothing, and can be chained.

This is completely realistic as Figma is full blown image editor written in C++ compiled to WebAssembly :)

We used to love our roku. Still do, and we have owned various versions for nearly as long as you. Even went with a roku tv at one point.

I bought an LG OLED CX this past November. I was planning to hook a roku up to it. My experience with smart tvs in the past has been hugely underwhelming to downright unusable. But I've been more than happy with just using the apps on the LG tv. Your mileage may vary, but I have a good picture quality and I'm pretty happy with the remote. It allows me to program the keypad to hard-press them to launch an app of my choice. Additionally, they have their own channel offerings similar to Pluto.

I have heard great things about the Shield as well. That is probably the closest you can find to without building your own HTPC.

Yup. I think so. My understanding is that enclosed hallways is the differentiating factor.

The other thing that goes along with that is a lack of common areas and services (except housekeeping and maybe a pool)

What would prevent a competitor simply copying the whole product and offering a cheaper price

Whatever it was that kept this from happening from the advent of electronics up to the invention of the smartphone.
>Well, I would say it includes publishing the software interface of your hardware, and not making it impossible to replace the software.

100% this. Case in point: I have two 'old' apple devices: a 2009 mac mini and an ipad c.2011. Apple doesn't provide updates for either any more. For the mini, that's not a problem: it's running Debian just fine, and kept up to date.

The ipad is a different story. Physically it's still in perfectly good nick: it's a well-built device. Software, though, is a different matter. Progressively fewer websites render properly with the outdated version of safari; the number of installable apps is down to a faint trickle. It's broken. Doesn't matter that it's broken because the software is outdated rather than a hardware component has given up. It doesn't do what it was intended for, and there's no way to repair it.

I've no issue with apple - or any other manufacturer - deciding there's a lifetime beyond which they're not willing to support the device. But they shouldn't be allowed to brick it. At the point it goes out of manufacturer support, there should be the option to 'unlock' and install 3rd party software.

Of course it'll impact Apple's revenues. At least to some extent; plenty people will still want "shiny new". And it'll need 3rd party software to be available. But that's a whole new market opportunity.

More fundamentally, it's simply unconscionable to consign devices to the scrap heap because the manufacturer built a time bomb into the software.
We must have a similar taste because Havit(tkl) was also my second contender, I choose K1 because it was something like 1 mm thinner I recall.

Was considering smaller layouts as well, but when I tried "homeless" keyboards it felt painful, interesting you mentioned Windows that's probably the true reason to be addicted to home/end.

TKL stands for tenkeyless if anyone wonders, ie without the numeric keypad.

That seems to be making quite a lot of assumptions—first, that even in the better states, costs to the employee are similar if they choose to get insurance individually rather than through their employer. Even assuming that the cost to the employer is similar to the cost I would have to pay out-of-pocket to get insurance on the state marketplace, which is not a safe assumption, just because I choose to do that doesn't mean my employer suddenly decides to give me all the extra money they would have paid for my health insurance in my paycheck.

Even if all that were true, it would only be in the better states. There is massive variation between the states on this, and some have (last I knew) truly abominable plans as the only real options.

No; what we need to be pushing towards is single-payer health care, the way nearly every other civilized nation on earth does it. The market-based system we have is a travesty that literally kills people in order to further enrich the richest among us.
It is also part of fiscal/monetary policy. Sure, the government could increase the money supply. but if the amount of spending they want to do is greater than the amount they want to increase the money supply by, they need some way to reconcile the two, which taxes provide.
This is sort of an unreal conversation to be having.

If you buy a house to speculate on housing prices, and then rent it out, _you aren't adding anything_. That's entire point of the phrase "rent seeking". You've dumped capital into a limited-quantity good and then extract rent as it becomes more valuable.

The only exception is those actually expanding the housing supply (which is hugely valuable and should be rewarded!), but this is a tiny tiny fraction of the housing stock! Most commercial real-estate is not any housing-add over if they didn't exist!
I know that's a popular trope, but I really mean the 'cannot code' crowd. They are separate groups.

At the end of the day, if an attacker needs to chain exploits that's still a safer place to be that if they didn't need to do so. Additionally, how relevant is a link in an exploit chain when it's very likely the same overall effect could be had without using that link? Not very.

And as you say, the examples given are really poor; they're barely exploits, that's more like a really unwise feature - it's hard to imagine situations like this arising in practice by accident without being more easily exploitable without even using WASM in the first place - I mean, if you're processing data in a some way and your interface with that processing code includes stuff like eval, that's just a disaster waiting to happen - as web exploits over the decades have demonstrated again, and again.

Yeah, if you have a few virtual machines for specific purposes, there's not much point bothering with some abstraction on top of qemu.

I also have just a few 20 line scripts to run my VMs, and that's all. Works with no changes/hassle for 5 years already or more. No extra SW to learn. Man qemu gives me all the answers. Easy.

I guess if you want to manage some complicated setup and dynamically add/remove disks, network cards, or whatever, all the time, migrate machines, etc., some solution like virsh would be good, but for having everything on one bridge, in one subnet, to run some throwaway VM with Windows/browsers for web testing, the simpler setup is so nice.

I've seen this go the other way too, where the client ends up talking to the consulting shop and saying, essentially, "what is your price to join us?"
