I agree with your point, but the % weight might need adjustment. For example, a PCB the size of an iPhone 13 (146x71mm) [0], weighs maybe 40.61g [1]. The PCB in an iPhone is approx .25 of the surface area [2]. The result is right at 5% of the weight of an iPhone 13.

(40.61*.25)/204 = 0.05

Personally, I'm using a Dygma Raise, after testing the Ergodox for a while. And the Dygma is really mostly perfect IMHO. I would prefer it to have an ortholinear layout, and an additional row with F-Keys (layers can be cumbersome when hands are not at homerow-position). But the build-quality and sane Thumb-cluster really makes it for me.

Though the argument about loudness of mechanical keys is understandable. But this can be solved with a proper audio-setup. Just look at all the streamers with their silent gaming-keyboards.
Loving this for you...

That's the one you can't have on the same computer as the community edition of C++ Builder? Yeah. I've been burned by GPL'd ExtJs, I'm not touching Idera's handouts anymore.

>> I know of almost no software that's ever finished.

All appliances including TVs until recently. 10s to 100s of modules on cars - until recently.

I knew someone who worked in over-the-air updates at <big car company> who said the software teams kept wanting to push updates after start of production. I said "no, updates are so you can avoid the cost of recalls, not so they can finish late" and we had complete agreement. Updates are potentially good by allowing critical fixes, but they are more commonly wanted by developers who can't wrap-up a solid release on schedule.

To be clear, suppliers to the auto companies have HARD deadlines - your customer has hundreds of suppliers delivering components for a particular model year SOP and they aren't going to disrupt everyone else because your software team is late. This leads to incremental (manageable) improvements rather than big new developments (which do happen but not tied to a particular program). Abusing OTA updates to allow more slop in this is probably going to lead to some issues.
The problem with generation ships is we assume we can just "zip" all knowledge and technology and ship it via a generation ship and "unzip"/bootstrap at destination.

I'm sure we are absolutely not capable to do that now. Maybe with AI.

But we haven't done that with our Moon and that's not even a few lightseconds away.
Which is kinda funny on a laptop. If some authority told you to unlock a device and it did have a plausible deniability encryption system - no one is going to believe that anyway.

For a USB drive or a file, sure, feature. For a laptop, “duh, it’s encrypted” is going to be the first thing anyone considers. Not “well, I guess the laptop has no data on it at all!”

You know... I take this back. I just plugged in my external SATA to USB adapter and immediately re-mourned my last broken backup HDD, which I broke because I tripped on the fucking cable.

So electron is "great" in the sense that it is a workaround to this disaster that I have described above that is the web. You have to build a web app, but you want a client application, the resources to build both are a lot so you just wrap your web app in electron. It's a stopgap and it's an enabler. It is not good for the user. As much as I dislike complex web apps, I will sooner run one in a tab in my browser than download an electron app.

Did you know that electron apps basically bundle the entire chrome browser in with every application you use it to make? Have you ever tried running more than a couple of electron apps at once?
For anyone that's curious, popular game hacking/reverse engineering tool Cheat Engine(basically a fully fledged Windows debugger nowadays) is also made in Lazarus - though I can't seem to come up with anything else that is from the top of my head.

So every country allows slavery? I agree there are problems with our prison system but that is not the same thing as slavery. It doesn't meet the legal definition at all and sure you can make comparisons but it's not really morally the same either.
I did at least upgrade to 256 GB storage (...for like $200 or something ridiculous), haha. I just didn't think to mention that minor upgrade.

Edit: I'll also mention that the fan noise hasn't been a problem for me (I rarely notice it), but that may be because I don't use too many demanding programs.
I personally find odd historical "traditions" quite romantic and usually dislike movements to update them. For example, I dislike American-English spellings or selling milk in litres for this reason. I guess find the historic reason behind these traditional ways of doing things interesting enough to keep them even though I acknowledge they make little sense today.

However, daylight savings is one of those things I find to be genuinely inconvenient and although from a purely sentimental perspective I would be sad to see it go, I do agree with scraping it.

It's not completely relevant and probably somewhat common knowledge, but historically many (most?) cities and towns had their own time based on solar time before standardised time zones were introduced. In my city there is an old corn exchange building with two minute hands, one for our old city time and another for the actual GMT time we use today. In the past people would use these central clocks to set their own timepieces, but you can imagine how much of a nightmare this was trains were introduced and suddenly people wanted to travel between cities but there was no universal time. So in comparison to adopting standard time, this seems like quite a minor change.

One of the main advantages of the plane is ease of refueling. You either have to wait for a satellite pass or maneuver the satellite which eats into its very limited fuel.

The information may be comparable but the latency is not.

> wear to be in the connector and not the device.

I think this was a typo and you meant to say “cable connector (plug), not device connector (socket)”.

It’s a good design and specifically designed to avoid a USB mini A design botch in which the device side would wear out before the cable side did.

FWIW Apple is a USB member and participated in the USB-C design, including learning from lightning (which was comtemporaneously secretly under way). This is like Intel and IEEE-754
Perhaps, I think a key component of trust is believing those people are on my team and distrust is believing they aren't, whether the other people believe they are or not.

So because I generally trust those institutions, yes, I don't believe they're against me. However, I think it's more of a perspective of who's on my team rather than clearly demarcated teams.
Even without cartels, the corruption problems are huge. I wish them the best of luck, but the fact that an average family spends an integer percentage of their income on bureaucratic bribery doesn't give me warm happy thoughts.
> The Civilization board game

Which one? There are at least two different ones, with the same name, based on the computer game franchise. (And, of course, the Avalon Hill game predating the computer game, but that doesn’t seem relevant.)
The relationship between the arguments in Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations (PI) is quite complex and, while there is some disagreement over the the degree of his renunciation, it's generally understood that by the time of his writing much of the notebooks that ended up as PI Wittgenstein had altered his understanding of philosophy and language quite a bit.

Both had a sort of "end philosophy" ambition, to a degree. The Tractatus, with its ambition to address the ways that language touches the world in a picture theory, was more akin to the idea of "solving" philosophy in a sense. In PI, he makes a change in his view of philosophy towards anthropology and remarks on language that is rooted in behavior and use. PI "ends philosophy" more in the sense of dissolving philosophical issues, by revealing the conceptual underpinnings of a number of philosophical debates as nonsense. Philosophy's job, thus, becomes conceptual clarification.

So to answer your question, yes, though there is some overlap.
if someone has access to my gmail they can just reset my amazon password and view my order history there
> To be honest, I actually think it's probably more privacy-conscious to eliminate as much information as possible (but no more) from these kinds of emails.

But that makes them useless for what they are, especially the shipping ones: "You made three orders recently, one shipped. If you actually want to know which one (and you haven't memorized your order IDs) click here!"

This is actually a pretty annoying regression for me, because I buy things from many sites and have no way to search my overall order history anymore.

> Email is an insecure and non-private medium, but we often use it for items that require some level of security or privacy. I'd prefer if more companies held that information closely.

It is, but there's no better system and ruining email doesn't solve that privacy problem (e.g. Amazon may sell this information). At a minimum, it should be a setting so people can opt to get useful emails if they want to make that tradeoff.
DOH is one way to do it. HTTPS is a secure channel.

There was a Tegenlicht [0] documentary on Dutch TV some weeks ago, on how pervasive data collection is 'revolutionising' how the stock exchanges and entire financial world operates. This data really is the new oil, and its analysis gives a headstart, advanced prior knowledge for traders that have early access.

[0] https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/tegenlicht/kijk/afleveringen/...

Translated from Dutch: "The stock market should be a level playing field: everyone has the same information. But unnoticed, terabytes of data have entered the stock market. Smart companies dive into the mountain of data that is collected about us, in order to be able to see Apple's sales or the number of Netflix subscribers before the rest of the market does. VPRO Tegenlicht delves into the world of 'alternative data' to see who will win on the stock market, and who will not."

An extra benefit of doing this is that both hands still have access to the full key set. It would be useful to re-assign the extra keys to other functions, but this seems non-trivial to do cross platform in software. Would be a nice project to make a little hardware box to combine two keyboards into one, with a little OLED screen for setting shortcuts.
They do so — for example hose pipe diameter is regulated so you can’t accidentally put regular fuel into a diesel car (sadly, not the opposite though).
Because they've all actually been designed to be used in split layout, unlike the Apple magic keyboard.

They're also all (?) mechanical keyboards, which provide a much better typing experience than any Apple keyboard.
Evil is a huge exaggeration. I wouldn't even call this kind of thing bad - it's why we even get Google services for free at all, and I don't see how it hurts anyone.
Are you suggesting the word Spanish is a slur? Would you like the word Redskins wiped from all history? Can I flag your comment for removal then?

Stuff like this is such a waste of time for everyone. Do you really think any significant amount of people are holding prejudice towards Spaniards because they attached a disease to their name over a century ago? I mean really, you must have better things to worry about.
I had a similar occurrence driving my 2015 Tesla down the off-ramp on an interstate at night. The car had very nearly run out the battery, and I was near '0 miles' of range.

Sadly, the software in the car is dumb enough to allow you to convert momentum to 'regeneration' at exactly the time that the battery is unable to take charge at anything faster than a trickle. Outcome: rather than allow the car to _coast_ without regeneration, the car decided to force-feed the battery kW from the motor/generator until the some threshold was exceeded, and the car shut down the main traction battery.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. But there is no way to realistically communicate this to the Tesla SW developers. Long story short, I flipped the car into 'tow mode' using the last 30 minutes of 12v battery power, and I solicited help from a passerby and a policeman to push the car 200 yards to a supercharger, where the battery, first, nibbled at a little bit of kW, and then after 5 minutes, when nursed back to good health, it inhaled high kW.
Having watched a few of these hearings, i cant help but feel like they're purely for show. Hours of corporate-speak and deflection in response to questions by elected officials who fundamentally do not understand the technology or its influence.

Why bother? Pandering for votes?
It's not hard to read, but it's just that you aren't used to it. Try Clojure without this "hard to read" mindset and see how great Lisp as tools are!
It is not limited to that, it encompassed everything under Google umbrella like Gmail, Search, Health, etc. They have multiple options that you can tick the data you want to obtain. To be warn, the folder itself can be absurdly large depending how entrenched you are in Google ecosystem. Last time I checked mine, it is over 50 GB.
I will happily go full vegetarian before I cross that line.

I use a case solely so the phone lies flat on the table. They should arrange the battery to be thick enough to be the same height as the lens array.
I just got one, but I'm still using my old SteelSeries Apex M500 for work though because I'm just too slow to do my job effectively using it still. The learning curve is higher than I thought, even after remapping most of the keys to my preferences - just need to give it some time!
Discovering 2.5M tons in 20 years does not come close to the demand. You would need at least 3X the rate of discovery forever assuming we only ever serve the need of passenger vehicles and never increase world vehicle production. That’s a big hand-wave.
google keeps trying to make “google shopping” happen. reading customer data helps them improve their store front, amazon would like to avoid helping any (future) competition
I wish there was an online service that would let users poison their own data. Like allowing me to intentionally get emails about random stuff, shopping receipts etc from absurd entities just to throw the profilers off our scent. Would be fun.

Same with something I can run Google Maps with my account logged in so that Google thinks I am one heck of a super traveler, and shopper of things.

Something that watches random YouTube videos for me, and randomly clicks on ads for me.. :-)

Uploads random photos into a Google Photos account for me :-)

That’s be heck of a lot fun!
While believing the truth does not always provide social capital, it very often provides material capital, which is why humans over eons have evolved mental faculties that make us want to know true things.

These faculties aren't perfect, obviously, we're just primates, but they work better than we give ourselves credit for.

If I'm trying to decide which lake has the most delicious fish, the actual true answer is very important when it comes to deciding where to drop my line, regardless of whether others think I'm wrong. Reeling in dinner—confirmation from material reality—is its own reward.
Related, Google Pay and GPay are totally different apps by Google on my phone. So confusing.
Is that true? From what I can find the total amount of their fines is not more than $100M, which is less than I would expect given their size if they were conducting willful ongoing violations. And neither of the two biggest cases involved willful data retention like this: one was about cookie consent and one was about right to be forgotten.
I've got a pair of Ergodox Infinity keyboards with good mechanical keys (not clicky) and SA keycaps because I got tired of carrying one back and forth to the office. My RSI is gone and so I feel that the $800 investment is nothing when looking at the ROI of continued use of my hands.

I'm very happy with Cherry MX Brown switches - a good tactile feel with very little noise!
Absolutely no, you're making things up. USB was part of the android specification since day one as it was a natural technical choice at that time, due to the availability of chipsets, and due to the fact that google wanted standardization across android manufacturers. There's no alternate universe where google wouldn't use USB because it was not told so by some eurocrats.
Exactly this. Monkeywrench_Tech_as_a_Service.
Are you saying Apple execs have zero say in the strategy they choose to pursue regarding the spat with Epic?
Yea. That’s a big lightbulb moment for me.

Also, that’s a great state of things today… Amazon has to make their product worse because Google won’t ever stop siphoning.

I still have a Gmail, but I’m properly compelled to kill it, finally.
This is really messing with my head now. We read Steinbeck at school - in the UK - and were in awe at the gravitas, use of English, literary genius. This is like finding out that Thomas Hardy also wrote manga, or something. I would so love to get my hands on Murder at Full Moon.

I've just searched out some news stories about this and, apparently, Steinbeck destroyed some manuscripts he'd written under the Peter Pym pseudonym, but not this one; apparently he had also tried to get it published.

Arrrgh! I so hope that this sees the light of day at some point - or, er, the light of the Moon.
Consider also that anything that Apple does to make their product less repairable by the end-user also makes it less repairable by independent repair shops. I'm not sure why anyone would waste their time and money taking their Framework Laptop to a repair shop just to have them replace the battery when they could do it themselves in a few minutes (and you don't need to "live on HN" to follow basic instructions), but it's still an option. Whereas this is usually not an option with MacBooks.
You must be thinking of the Kinesis Advantage. Kinesis has also made split keyboards for a while: https://kinesis-ergo.com/products/#keyboards
yeah Google has a pretty serious case of shipping the orgchart.
...just get a split keyboard (the Kinesis isn't a true split - still one body). It's cheaper. You don't have extraneous keys. You don't have to worry about using software to get your computer to play nice with two keyboards. I like the offerings from https://gboards.ca, personally (bonus, they're ortholinear if you believe that is good for reducing pain).

I got the Gergoplex from that site, and over the course of a week of typing I got used to it and was able to be productive with it.

Just get a split.
If I don't need an extra hardware component, then I want to be able to physically remove that hardware component.
I just recently setup wayland+sway on my linux dev machine running a 970gtx. I made sure to use `mesa` the open source drivers for nvidia and everything worked pretty well.

I will definitely be purchasing AMD GPUs if I intend on running linux in the future. I know nvidia is working on supporting GBM (which is the sticking point for wayland support) but who knows when that will land.
This is beautiful. I used to think about this problem deeply. The best imaginary system I did imagine was:

- A system that starts with our database schema

- a language in the front-end that abstracts away server connection and db access

- this imaginary language should allow defining react-like components but treat the db as a local datastore

- Most clients are UI stricture interpolated with that user’s data queried from the central db. So this imaginary front-end language should allow querying from user-level views from the db

Most of what I read from the post, looks like a realization of this dream.
Split keyboards can also do this :]

If you've always wanted to get one of those fancy custom split keyboards (corne, iris, etc), I highly recommend https://keebmaker.com/. For a small price premium, you basically pick out the keyboard you want, and they'll build it for you (so you don't have to mess with soldering, etc).
You forget the part where you have to pay, and not precisely a little.
I built a similar machine:

* NixOS

* AMD 5700G (8c/16t)

* Nvidia GTX 760 (already owned)

* 32GB of old ram at 3400 MT/s (was really surprised my old Micron RAM could be overclocked by 1000MT/s but I'll take it).

* Old/existing 850W PSU

Having the integrated Vega 8 graphics lets me run sway at 2 4K screens pretty much without issue. It's pretty simple on NixOS to configure PRIME such where the 'nvidia-offload' command can run any program on the Nvidia card.

Sadly Vega 8 is only half the speed of my GTX 760... really wish AMD had included RDNA graphics like the Steamdeck. If I can grab a AMD GPU at a good price or Nvidia's GBM backend for Wayland support actually is released and works well I might upgrade to a 5700X or greater. It would be nice to have twice the L3 cache and even more threads when it comes to building some NixOS packages.

Currently temperature reporting on the 5700G is somewhat broken on Linux 5.14. I can see the integrated GPU temperature (I think) which should be close enough to the CPU die temp. Using sleep (suspend to RAM) on the 5700G has issues with Sway/Wayland.

System idles around ~50W which is about half that of my old 6700K system.
