Thanks. This is an alternative vision compared with what I am doing, but it seems better. Especially the C4 model as basic philosophy, and then the supporting technology.

Pleas blog about this, it is very interesting to me.

MT: single key can be used as both modifier key and normal key. It works as modifier key when keep hold the key, and it works as normal key when just tapped the key. SandS is a kind of MT, abbr of Space and Shift. It works as its name suggests.

LT; single key can be used as both temporary switching layer key and normal key, similar to MT.

Why is it important is because I want to place useful functions on most accessible keys.

I've done both on a "Clean Code", lots-of-tiny-functions C++ codebase. Due to various reasons[0], I spent a year using Emacs with no IDE features to work on that codebase, after which I managed to get a language server to work in our specific context, and continued to use Emacs with all the bells and whistles LSP provides.

My conclusion? Small functions are still annoying. Sure, with IDE features in a highly-productive environment like Emacs is, I can jump around the codebase at the speed of thought. But it doesn't solve the critical problem: to understand a piece of code that does something useful, I have to keep all these tiny functions in my working memory. And it ain't big enough for that.

I've long been dreaming about IDE/editor feature that would let you inline code for viewing, without actually changing it. That is, I could mark a block of code, and my editor would replace all function calls[1] with their bodies, with names of their parameters replaced by the names of arguments passed[2].

This way, I could reap benefits of both approaches - small functions that compose and have meaningful ways, and long sequential blocks of code that don't tax my working memory.

--

[0] - C++ is notoriously hard to get reliable code intelligence (autocomplete, xref) to work. Even commercial IDEs get confused if the codebase is large enough, or built in an atypical fashion. Visual Studio in particular would happily crash for me every other day...

[1] - With some sane default filters, like "don't inline functions from the standard library and third-party libraries".

[2] - Or autogenerated ones when the argument is an expression. Think Lisp gensym. E.g. when I have `auto foo(F f);` and call it like `foo(2+2);`, the inlined code would start with `F f_1 = 2+2;`. Like with expanding Lisp macros, the goal of this exercise is that I should be able to replace my original code with generated expansion, and it should work.

We always forget how much we can cope with change.

We're just coming out of a pandemic where the working patterns of most[0] people have changed drastically. Working from home moved from being a rare thing to a common thing. Schools moved to teaching via videolink. All that, practically overnight.

If we rationed fuel for personal use, then suddenly everyone would car pool. No, we might not like it, but we'd make it work.

In WW2, the government rationed all sorts of things, and lots of stuff became plain unavailable. People coped.

We all want cheap energy, but if energy stopped being cheap, we'd cope.

[0] I have no idea on the actual numbers. I'm assuming it's "most" because everyone I know works from home now. I could be in a bubble.
The idea come up to me because Twitter auto-crop your images to a specific ratio and it kills your engagements.

Happy to hear and discuss your thoughts :)
The more one dives into the relationship between society and energy, the more it appears energy sources and availability mold society, like transport, food, architecture, politics, urbanization, philosophy or medicine. The book "Oil, Power, and War: A Dark History" by Matthieu Auzanneau (Or in French: "Or Noir") shows that quite well.

I don't think i even did ask the same question twice :D

I think my questioning was fair considering the trigger behind the freenode migration in the first place - control of the domain: https://gist.github.com/prawnsalad/4ca20da6c2295ddb06c164679...

If people want to blindly migrate where that same thing can happen, then thats up to them - but downvoting for pointing out the concerns only serves to silence the issue, and that kinda sucks, IMHO.

Every single adult person has a 20+ year learning lead on any machine, so it's a bit unfair to say humans can do the same task with less data.

And computers are already better at tasks involving a lot of math, which is the main reasons they've become commonplace.
I'm not sure I have any useful advice; I get the impression you're doing incredibly well for someone with no formal training. On the one hand you might benefit from someone with a more rigorous background helping you avoid known non-obvious risks, but on the other hand almost all such people are going to run screaming because your risk tolerance is way higher than theirs. Having a chronic condition for which the existing treatments are inadequate really sucks. I wish you luck and safety.

(For the "era of higher risk tolerance", the good old "Ignition!" by John D Clarke is a fun read from the era when the official US rocket fuels programme consisted of just lighting stuff on fire and seeing what happened)
Unfortunately, it looks like there is a large hidden constant in there:

Also a comment underneath by one of the authors:

> We have not tested it (yet), but I suspect the current version will be too slow in practice due to the ~400 cases it has to check for each flip. Also, some of the core data structures we use do not yet have a good practical implementation. I do plan on making an implementation at some point, but that could be months or years away.

That's a fair point. I also feel like the numbers of subscribers to a subreddit-style community is deceiving - the real number to be looking at is the number of people participating in the discussion, and the number of regulars. I'd be interested in seeing these stats for individual subreddits.

Right from the start the idea was not to have just a forum with questions and answers but a curated repository of knowledge. There would therefore be an active moderation. Duplicated questions would be closed, out of topic ones would be deleted, questions/answers could be edited,...

This ended up in a culture of active and sometimes heavy-handed moderation that 's now part of the DNA of the site.
Indeed, the title is absolutely wrong. This is not a done deal, it is just a proposal.
I've been in this business since the early 2000s when we did not have these toys and had to roll everything on our own. I myself had to set up a high availability cluster using, eh, I forget what it was called now, something like LVH, and "containers" using Linux jails.

K8S is absolutely not a sustainable thing with its learning curve, and it is destined to be abstracted by a "dumb" layer, sort of like Git has two APIs - for developers and for the users. In fact, I believe that is already happening.

Few companies can afford a team of devs doing care and feeding for this thing full time.

All joking aside, I am interested in how well this might work outside of a11y use-cases. Speaking is just so natural. It doesn't have to be used exclusively but I do want to find out if there are cases where it's just nicer to say a command during coding than remembering all kinds of keyboard shortcuts. I always wonder if a more hybrid approach of using touch, speaking and typing for various situations could feel better than keyboard all the way.
Price, there are some fancy battery powered drills that detect the jerk via an accelerometer and reduce the power, but most drills don't have that.
for example:
https://www.boschtools.com/ca/en/more/news-and-extras/knowle...

For a continuous drilling operation the torque is totally fine, the problem is abrupt changes in torque because of something catching. On drills without this feature that's what the torque limiting clutch is for.

Although technically subsidies, they are typically just tax advantages. Corporate taxes in general are a bit counter-productive - taxes on energy-producing corporations apparently cross over into embarrassingly damaging to the point where most countries can't stomach it.

It would be better to extend those 'subsidies' to every business rather than attempt to make energy more expensive.

I live in a city where city council politicians regularly proposes to change the name of “Israel square” to “Palestine square”. Fairly idiotic in my opinion.
Czech's done the same thing to Russian embassy. Renamed the square that embassy is on to Boris Nemtsov square. Petty? yeah. Good? yeah.
While that's a sensible gesture, Clotilde Armand should focus on the garbage and rats on the streets of her sector (yes, really), rather than these moves that are usually made at "higher courts"(US,UK,France usually).

I hate to switch the subject but yes, it's a distraction from the fact that the mayor elections have very big holes and there's almost proof of corruption and fraud during the counting of votes (after which she became mayor).
To stay on topic: I doubt Minsk really cares about this.Lukashenko is neither pro-west nor pro-russia really, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to stay in power by all means necessary.
Indeed, a bit like, "made of metal, or not".

And I think it looks more or less like, "organic-in-relevant-way or not".

"Relevant" here means a type of organic-physiological adaptability which is able to operate on incredibly short time scales: ie., you're able to physically adapt your body as your environment changes at the second, minute, hour, day, ... decade, timescales.

Typing is a type of organic adaption which takes years to complete. As are essentially all of our skills.

With digital machines and robots we're maybe able to emulate our cognitive processes as they consider our body-environment relationship. But we have not emulated, at all, our ability to have this type of body-environment relationship.

I had weird experience with valve index. I somehow miscalibrated it and the floor wasn't level.

I spent maybe 20 seconds in VR with skewed floor and it felt horribly wrong. And the whole evening my sense of ballance and perception was broken not to be the point of falling over but the real world around me felt wrong. Only after I slept my brain fixed itself.
Do you have any studies that actually quantify that? IMO large groups singling out and bullying individuals is not really a new thing, that has been happening for a long time.

He later corrected it by saying:

For one Galileo, there are thousands, if not millions, weirdos and fraudsters. So, statistically speaking, it is a rational decision to reject all unorthodox ideas and let authors walk the walk proving it.
A slightly different take from me would be to have multiple metrics that kind of cross each other out making the tradeoffs explicit instead of implicit. It's fine to temporarily optimise towards anyone but at least we know which trade off was made.
There's nothing done yet, but the idea is absolutely brilliant. Punishing autocrats on their ego instead of their people sounds like a much better approach. (given that economic sanctions usually fail to overthrow the regimes they are intended to punish)
…And Lukashenko's actions aren't?
I feel obligated to add my silly mistake here. I was playing with SDR and was soldering together a small antenna for receiving ADS-B signals.

I soon realised my electric soldering iron wasn't powerful enough so I nipped out and bought a miniature blow torch. The kind which are basically a big cigarette lighter. Having got it home I tried igniting it a few times and nothing happened. I held it up to my ear to try to hear if there was any gas coming out, sure enough there was gas coming out, which in that instant ignited beautifully into a 700 degree flame pointed right at my ear.
I worked for at least 15 companies (of all different kinds) over 15 years and the last time I worked with a developer who was smarter than me was 5 years ago. I've been working nights and weekends on open source projects too so I think I must be near the top in terms of skills... But somehow that doesn't translate to even moderate financial success. I find myself more alone and less appreciated than ever in spite of the fact that I've never been more performant, sharper and more knowledgeable.

I can deliver extremely high quality projects (in very complex areas) at an unparalleled speed and can turn a team of junior developers into 10x developers but nobody cares and many less experienced developers disagree with my approach in spite of the fact that I keep proving them wrong over and over.

To give an idea; I've build a blockchain ecosystem in 1 year for $0 (only paid in the new crypto before it had value)... My closest competitor has been working torwards the same thing for 5 years and it cost them at least $20 million.
I think that at this point, for the software made/maintained for the government, they should just hire and train software devs themselves.

From what I've seen, with a few exceptions, government software development always ends up with a bunch of subcontractors delivering bad software on purpose, because that's the way they can ensure repeat business. E.g., the reason Open Data movement didn't achieve much, why most public systems are barely integrated with each other, is because every vendor does its best to prevent that from happening.

It's a scam, but like other government procurement scams, it obeys the letter of the law, so nobody goes to jail for this.
RT's current approach seems to be to focus on Protasevich's alleged role as a propagandist for the neo nazi azov brigades in donbass and, of course, the whole Snowden/Morales affair.

Western news media outlets, by contrast, seem to be lionizing the journalist's role in the Belarus protests, but at some point I imagine they will have address the above two points. Silence is too awkward.

It is interesting to diff the propaganda from both sides here, especially since domestic propaganda value appears to have been a key component of why Lukashenko chose to do this.
IT Helpdesk Chatbot
If the Freenode #foo owners have a legitimate claim (ie they represent a project or community named foo) then they can register that project/community [0] and claim #foo. In case of multiple claims it is up to the Libera operators to find a solution.

While there are no technical restrictions to registering unclaimed channels, on Libera (and also on Freenode before) channels with a single # are not really free for all and on-topic projects and communities have priority.

Assessment can never be done by non-experts. They do not understand the subject matter and cannot even judge which journals are good. It just makes no sense.

The problem with this assertion is: non-experts are paying for all of this.

Imagine you are an ordinary taxpayer. You are feeling the pinch yourself, you look around you and see infrastructure crumbling, every day the press says healthcare and this and that is underfunded. Now along comes some scientist, he or she wants a few billion for a new particle collider that will make no difference whatsoever to your life, and their only justification for it is "well other scientists say we should get all this money, and they're cleverer than you, shut up".

Can you see why funding something with no accountability might be considered problematic?

There's also the fact that an expert who can't explain something to a non-expert probably doesn't understand it very well themselves...

Begging the question. There are highly qualified people like Sucharit Bhakdi who are being declared conspiracy theorists for no other reason than that they are going against officially sanctioned truth. Which is the high-quality signal, the NYT or Bhakdi? One is held up as authoritative by those in power, one is suppressed in the hopes that it will not even be considered. If delusion and propaganda gains prominence, filtering the truth might seem like filtering noise.
> Bucharest mayor changes Belarus embassy's street name to Protasevich Street

This is not just another case of an editorialized title on HN.

It‘s much worse.

The EU has been accused precisely that it won't actually do anything against the arrest of Protasevich, besides posting angry tweets for a few days.

The title of the article suggest it has actually done „something“.

But in reality it‘s exactly what we all fear, just „some guy“ trolling around on Facebook, giving the impression that something was done!

I have an honest question. When I saw the title of this story I thought this is about a station where movies are shown. But after going through the comments quickly I realised this station is used for shooting movies and there is a station like this in Canada as well. Plus it looks like London rents a station to make movies. But still I don't found the need to go through the article. I get there are ghost stations used for shooting movies. But do I really need to go through the whole article and need to know the details? Maybe it's twitter that made me like this. But you clearly read the article and even found a typo. What is your thinking process here? What made it interesting for you to go through this article? I am genuinely curious.

> This would be for anywhere you play your Switch undocked, and you don't want a Switch for whatever reason (likely more indies, emulators, "apps").

And now we came the full circle. Back to the original point. I don't believe Valve is capable of competition at this point.

I would require serious people and money effort to create this 'whatever reason'. Because I gave you a big one for Switch and I don't see one for Valve (obscure small indie games that don't get ported to Switch is hardly a selling point).

For future reference, it's probably a good idea to also include what the title you are referring to.

HN is notorious for changing the title so many times and frequently that its hard to know whether the title changed since the post was made.
