There seems to be a lot of people with wrist issues here, so I thought I'd ask. I get a lot of pain in my right shoulder and right wrist after using a keyboard for a while. I've noticed it more when I have to use my little finger (e.g. curly bracers, etc.)

I'm currently trying out a split keyboard (freestyle 2, wanted something cheaper to see if the split helped), and it definitely has. I went back to my Ducky 5 for a few days and felt it.

I'm currently learning to type Dvorak, which feels nice but I'm not using it enough so far to know if it's an improvement. I'm really liking the look of the Kinesis Advantage, has anyone with similar wrist pain noticed that it made a difference?

Trains are great in many cases, but there’s some limit to tunnels and bridges: you can go from Stockholm to Berlin directly, but Stockholm to Helsinki is harder (that’s actually the destination that the plane is likely to cover); Manchester to Amsterdam is feasible by train in theory, but given the constraints around London and the Channel Tunnel, unlikely to loose its flight connection. Same for Aberdeen to Oslo.

Many of those are over seas, so an ekranoplane would make sense, if you want to lower the energy output, but a tradition train won’t work for many cases.
If you plotted all the other things the government spends money on, pensions would be the biggest chunk. Stop being dense.

I'm not familiar enough with the situation in the US to comment for what's happening on your side of the ocean.

In my country, there are laws to protect both sides. Unless an agreement is negotiated, the employee cannot leave without giving a ~2 months notice, the employer cannot fire/layoff withing giving a ~2 months notice.

In many cases, though, there is a strong power imbalance. If, for some reason, you decide to sue your (former) employer, or if your (former) employer decides to sue you, you most likely cannot afford the same budget for lawyering up as they can. Also, your main power against your employer (besides possibly unions) is, as you mention, the ability to change job, but that only works when changing job is possible. Both for highly skilled positions and unskilled positions, getting a new job is hard and may require you to move to a new place - something that you may not be able to do if you have children or a working spouse.

As anecdotal examples, I know former C*Os of influential companies who have been working make up jobs for several years because they cannot find anything matching their skills, even at much reduced salaries. I know burnt out teachers who do not leave their jobs because nothing matches their skills. I have several friends in IT, or in admin positions, or with lawyer degrees who just cannot find anything or could not find anything for years because they happen to live in the wrong place and cannot leave because that would cost their spouse a job or they would abandon elders, etc.

Having myself changed (HN-style) jobs a few times, I can confirm that it's long and certainly not easy, in particular when you also need, at the same time, to care for a young child, or a sick family member, or when you're burnt out, or depressed by a personal crisis, or by the rejections you encounter from potential employers, or by the institutional bullying on unemployed people. I imagine it's even harder as you get older - I'm not looking forward to be labelled too-old-for-HN-style-jobs.

All of that is in a G7 country whose unemployment rate is decreasing. Testimonies from friends in neighbouring countries make me feel that it's even worse in many places. Testimonies from friends in the US make me feel it's not as rosy as you describe, at least not in all fields/regions.

So... yeah, I believe that there is a power imbalance. You may be in a field and/or location in which you do not witness it, and if this is your case, I'm happy for you. But for many people, it exists.

Why “who else”?
Absolutely, the people using us seem think so! We target a niche: real time sharing of commodity pricing. The linked data can live in different files and layouts, can be updated via web or mobile, and full change history is stored as well.

We explored a few options when trying to solve the sharing problem, including OneDrive, Google Sheets, and some 3rd parties. Couldn’t find anything that fit the bill.

FWIW- What you describe could be down to OneDrive’s data quotas. If you’re dealing with pricing data or any numerical data then CT Grid solves that issue. Even if it’s not a perfect fit, I’d be happy to share the experience if it helps you.

Because time and money are not infinite and +/-0.005 is a hell of a lot cheaper than +/-0.0005.

> (Immediately checks for author affiliation to eInk or some bullshit mid-tier American university with an "up and coming" tech transfer office) Awesome, maybe this will actually come to market with a reasonable license fee!

Uhm... I just want to say that I work in the display industry and have never heard comments like yours from my peers, or during conferences. Is there some unreasonable license fee going on that those of us who actually work in the display industry aren't aware of? The main place I've seen this refrain is repeatedly on HN including a HN comment that got cited by Boing Boing and blogs and then subsequent HN comments that cited those blogs and Boing Boing as their refrence. 1 Infinite Loop! Please have a look at my comment history as I keep asking about which patent or Eink misbehavior people are talking about. I'm still trying to figure out if the issue is real or some kind of Dunning Kruger effect from software people frustrated about the "slow" progress in displays. This would be the equivalent of a bunch of my display industry people coming on our display industry forums claiming that Google is blocking search engine progress, refusing to license search engine technology, and blocking technology from progressing and then justifying that claim by then giving you a set of Google patents and then shouting, see there's the clear proof that Google is a bad actor. I hope the analogy is clear and that it is also clear why I remain unconvinced about both!
He generated it all by himself without any involvement of the workers?
That may be the implication, but the actual problem is that humans will still be involved, still making the decisions and using AI to pretend they didn't.

I actually feel quite comfortable with the idea of AI making the hiring decisions, it seems like it would be as good as a human. But make no mistake, firing people is a miserable thing to do for both sides of the conversation. If managers can palm the responsibility off as "well, gee, the AI told me to so ... y'know, my hands are tied" then they will. Even if the AI algorithm is as blatant as "print out the name the manager entered in to the system".

There is some reasonableness to the argument that when an important decision is made that some human must be empowered as the decision maker. If nobody is responsible, suspicious things can happen.

IMO a big problem is we want to feel like we live in this high tech world so we collectively invite surveillance technology into our lives because so little interesting innovations are actually happening.

A huge bull market in surveillance because if you get rid of that our "innovations" severally lack use cases.

It's a shame that HN makes no difference between "what you're writing has no place here" and "I disagree with you" I remember discussing with people who were experimenting with this kind of mechanism for comments on newspaper websites, but I believe that this hasn't had much success.
I ran through 3 MS sculpts over the years and was very happy.
The function keys on the sculpt are pretty bad and so was the longevity. Had to switch out the keyboard quite frequently because the palm rest turned disgusting :D

I switched to the KinesisGaming Split + Cherry MX Brown keyboard a few month ago and don't regret it so far.

Sometimes I miss the tiny sculpt because it takes up less space on the desk, but I do not miss having to switch batteries :D
Unrelated to facial recognition: I'm a brazilian, flying from Casablanca, Morocco to Lisbon, Portugal, and I dropped my passport while on the plane. The minute I descend from the plane I realize it and inform the crew and airport security. They tell me to wait. Nobody goes to the plane to try and find my passport. I get detained in the airport prison with mostly illegal migrants. The plane flies away to Madrid. I can't leave without a passport. There's a small 8 square meter room where more than 10 people sleep, including someone with a contagious respiratory disease (this was pre-covid). Couldn't sleep and was up all night reading The Process, Franz Kafka, which was funnily available in prison hall. Had to bribe the police officer with a collector's plastic Clipper lighter for him to allow me to smoke a single cigarette. Was able to get out after 24h, but only because my brother had a friend who worked on the plane operator company, and was able to detect my passport inside the plane at Madrid, and arrange it to be given to a pilot who would be flying to Lisbon the next morning. It was so traumatic that when leaving they asked me if all my belongings were on my backpack (which had been confiscated upon arrestal) and I didn't realize police officers had actually stolen my sunglasses and an iPhone. It's not exactly a techno dystopia. It's a full on dystopia turning to tech.
Reading the rest of the post, they're talking about fingerprinting:

"By undermining the business model of many ad-supported websites, blunt approaches to cookies encourage the use of opaque techniques such as fingerprinting (an invasive workaround to replace cookies), which can actually reduce user privacy and control."

"At the same time, we’re developing techniques to detect and mitigate covert tracking and workarounds by launching new anti-fingerprinting measures to discourage these kinds of deceptive and intrusive techniques"
What is the solution? Make unions mandatory?

I think there are others?

I use google pubsub as a stream - it's just me developing our tools. I find it very easy to use and just works.

But maybe that doesn't count as a 'stream' under that definition?

I use GAE to accept and pass to pubsub super fast 1000s/second bursty webhook data, pass to pubsub, which is triggers cloud function to write to DBs. Cloud function retries if there is a write error or timeout or something.

It worked so well I've now just used this as a kind of micro-service for all DB writes I have to do. Now also parsing out other 'processing' services that don't need to respond with data to the request, like for instance an example 'service' we verify and format cell phones with twilio and then update that user profile.
> Or perhaps the limit is just to persuade people to start paying for Google Apps for your Worksuite?

I'd say this is the case. Individuals might work around the limit, but companies will be persuaded to pay even if most meetings are under 1h.
For some reason everyone who isn't born into crushing poverty, and/or didn't move here without speaking the language or looking and sounding like a natural-born citizen, and/or doesn't come from an underfunded inner city as an obvious racial minority feels the need to acknowledge some ephemeral privilege that made everything easy for them.

I don't have a problem with this per se, and at times it's even a good exercise from an intellectual standpoint, but it's at about a 12/10 at the moment.
If it would be seen as a luxury service people might want to pay for it, in spite of it actually being cheaper for Google to supply.

I take it to mean that if you employ an average of 10 workers, each year 15 instances will have happened of a worker quitting and being replaced.

Why the AI sidesteps responsibility? It's like stabbing someone with a screwdriver and saying screwdriver did it! Are regulators in the US that dumb or corrupt to allow it?
Since we can't possibly know anything about these universes for all intents and purposes we can say that they don't exist. This QED is more than acceptable.

This is the new volume control in windows 11 (some insider version they've randomly thrown at me): https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/786/aIfxKh.png

It's atrocious. No slider, clicking on it "blips" the speakers so you can hear how loud it is. You have to hover pointer on top of it which enlarges the green circle by about 10% to show "Hey, you're hovering me, in case you missed it!" and then scroll so the the tiny tiny dot gets slightly more enlarged (which clearly indicates new volume, duh). Then it shrinks to a smaller size back when stopping the hover.

Oh, the arrow to the right? Does that open the customary volume slider? No that's the sound device picker. Speaker to the left is the mute. To make matters worse it's in the same "group" as the network symbol is (although there's no network settings when clicking), and sometimes clicking the thing doesn't work at all, depends on how much explorer.exe decides to hang at the moment.

But surely I just got some broken alpha/beta version.

I know many public schools used it for classes as many schools already had G Suite. My friend taught his class on it (the latency and audio dropouts were terrible, FWIW, but much of that may have been the poor internet of the kids).
Even if 99% of meetings are less than an hour, occasionally people will want to do two-hour pair programming sessions, all-day training courses, meetings where people can connect 15 minutes early to check their equipment works, and suchlike.

A lot of people will pay $$$ to avoid needing something different for that 1% of their needs - just like people will choose a 300-mile-range electric car when 99% of their journeys are <100 miles.
Hard exercise is the least efficient form of weight control - it is hard, it is unpleasant when you're starting out, it takes loads of time, it has a risk of injury, it is very likely to make you overeat.

Why, of all things, do you think forcing people to do hard exercise would be effective for the vast majority of people, compared to, say, an improved diet?
It depends if you define a circle as "constant distance from centre point" or "minimum (circumference/area)".
Digging through their website[1] trying to figure them out. Seems to me that the whole business proposition depends on their understanding that Norway, Sweden, (and I guess they expect others to follow) will mandate all short flights being electric in the next decade.
They also say turboprops are higher maintenance and this expense reduces the viability of short flying routes, and I guess their implication is that electric will be cheaper. I am not sold on that one. 95% of the maintenance cost is the routine inspection. You'd have to do a routine inspection on electric propulsion as well. This is all just speculation until you see it in action.

Bad soldering has no connection to slave labor then. Just bad management, keeping costs low.

BTW Look at the price of a good soldering paste: EUR100 and wait-time 2 months.

I have a standing desk, but I walk in place as I have noticed it feels much better doing it like that. Only standing made me hurt after a while and it also took quite a bit of movement to get the pain away. When I walk in place 8-10 hours/day, I have none of these things.
I do know people from India. But these are the numbers like it or not. You seem to be cherry picking only the numbers that convalidate your vision.

I can't tell how much of it is undercounting in India, how much is overcounting in the USA, and how much of it is that the friends and family networks in India count hundreds of people as opposed to the westerner ones.
I feel building a few apps in Elm some years ago had a big impact on my programming style. I never used it professionally but was excellent as a learning experience. Similar to how people describe using something like Haskell but with less upfront cost.

How long is the flight in comparison? And have you factored in the airport time into that?

I was looking at taking the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam, and a friend was dismissing it as it took 4 hours where as the flight is ~45 mins. Except its not, the flight its self maybe 45 mins, but you have to get to heathrow (which is further away than St Pancreas) plus get there an hour early. Then we would have to deal with Schiphol and getting to the center of Amsterdam. To me the prospect of spending 4 hours sat down on the train and arriving directly in central Amsterdam, all the while with more space than a plane is much better than the prospect of 4 hours of that.

Now obviously that's a very niche case, and for most people it doesn't make as much sense, but I think people get scared off by the long train times but ignore the extra time needed around the flight.
FreeBSD's geli is more similar to Linux's dm-crypt. Of course with (Open)ZFS native encryption finally available for both FreeBSD and Linux, you could also compare them to zvols.
Manchester to Amsterdam is further than the distance targeted by these first electric aircraft, getting between a runway and a gate at Schiphol is probably beyond their range too.
Most software engineers are employed in companies whose product is not software but something else; and their "software products" - which may consume many developers - is not a product, but workflow support for the people making/selling the actual product of the company.
I think more people are aware of gamma correction now.

The best way to do that, if you are using shaders, is to have "fragColor.xyz = pow(col,vec3(1./2.2))"* on your last line. If it looks bad, look elsewhere, you are not allowed to touch that last line. The opposite should be done just after reading textures, if they aren't already linear.

*: sRGB actually has a weird transfer function, but it is closely approximated by a gamma of 2.2
We use it daily. Teams is still the most popular by far among our costumers here in Denmark, but I see Meet much more often than Zoom.

It is one of Googles better products, but for all we know Google Meet and Teams could be the same product with a different skin. They work very similar, have mostly the same features and work much the same.
I've ran some student hackathons in the UK (worth noting we have a very different culture than the US scene) and we actually tried to discourage the whole working 24 hours straight thing.
