Yes, the ability to present CNAM in SIP will continue to be a thorn for ages.
Posting under a throwaway account.

I have both an MD and a PhD, and yet I struggle with very much the same thing you describe. I spent most of my life building my career (it's still a work in progress), and every now and then I realize how don't know -- not just about world history, languages, art, philosophy -- but also about basic ways through which people enjoy their lives. I've always felt like an idiot around people who have well-balanced lives. I didn't watch TV so I knew nothing about shows, or sports, or social media. I read a lot, but it was mostly about medicine, so I had few ways to connect to people outside of work. I had few friends, and though I was "accomplished", depression was my constant companion.

My solution is ongoing, and has been to deliberately set learning goals for myself. I actually carve out time to read up on topics I want to learn about, that are outside my usual range of interests. In my case, anything I really want to do has to be planned and scheduled, but that only forces a discipline on myself to actually follow through, and helps with time management. I've always been interested in art, so I'm slowly building up my knowledge of art history. I'm taking up guitar (in in my 40s, so it'll be slow going). However superficial it might sound, I'm making an effort to learn things that are also of interest to other people. This makes it easier to connect with other people, and make friends.

Tl;dr: the feeling that you're under-accomplished is probably common. Setting yourself learning goals, and not spreading yourself too thin, can help.
Not sure but I think what they want is for you to pay them $1.xx back (rather than refund). Then they can try and initiate a refund on their end, which allows them to pocket the amount you gave them for free.
Of all the keyboards I own, I most often use my 103ub (55g weighted keys) purchased from elitekeyboards way back in the day.
Curves aren’t important in this scenario because the circle isn’t visible, it’s purely there to provide a consistent center of rotation. It doesn’t matter if it hugs the curves or not.

This is the kind of thing where there are plenty of well-established algorithms (although there might not be a good off-the-shelf implementation in your language of choice). I doubt efficiency is going to be a problem unless you have many thousands of points.
That's the exact HHKB I have and trust me, it's a noisy rattly mess compared to a good mech.

Like just lightly glide your fingers across the keys and you should feel/hear the rattle. That same rattle continues as you type, it's just mixed in with the sound of bottoming out.

For comparison, my mech is a solid feeling piece of aluminum, the keys have 0 wobble, and there are no rattles at all.

It's night and day, I could never go back to a HHKB.
This is a skill and it isn’t free. First, you have to learn the contact height with all your fingers for all angles. Second, the balance between the weight of your fingers and the key resistance must be fine enough, or you get fatigue in finger-extending muscles, or misclicks, or misrepeats. Topre even made RealForce variants to address this specific issue. I’m sure it’s not so hard and you mastered it, but an average random person has to try few keyboards before finding the one that fits and each try has a learning curve, and the last ones can be expensive (“Oh, it seems that I want speed non-mx tactile 55g with orings and media keys, but there are only three models, one doesn’t ship to my region, and the other two are too high based, one pretty overpriced”). That’s why mechanical keyboard guys often have a handful of them, cause all are nice but only one really fits.

This happened to me, but with a high dose of marijuana. It was maybe maybe 3rd time I ever tried it. There is a confirmed connection between marijuana use and psychosis in those genetically susceptible. Hang around any schizophrenia forum long enough and you'll see plenty of stories from people who obtained their mental health problems from drug use.
I'm working on some music synth stuff because I learned to play piano (rudimentary) and know how to write code. It's a great creative outlet.

I am not, and never will be, the next Kraftwerk or author of SuperCollider or whatever.

I do like exploring and have interests. And with what I do know (enough code and music to be dangerous) it ends up being a lot of fun (well it involves code so sometimes it's frustrating as hell, but any creator will say the same thing about their medium).

I guess the point here is that you could get angry or disappointed with life or you can focus on things you enjoy.

This can be naive advice if there are other issues. I had luck with therapy, it's a good idea for every human IMO. HN is OK but professionals are better.
Related, every car company will think it’s software is perfect. In fact they’ll insist on it, because otherwise they’d be treated as responsible should something go wrong.
With the exception of a few details, I swear I could've authored this post. I feel the exact same.

I'm starting to slowly realize that it's a vicious cycle for me. When my family wants to go do things, I want to stay at home and "work on my projects". So I spend a lot of my free time in front of the computer, trying to think of a cool thing I could build. That turns into youtube binging or twitter stalking, realizing there are so many talented people out there, solving all kinds of interesting problems and building cool things. I see them talking about the mountains of ideas they have, but not time to get to them all. Meanwhile, I have zero ideas - none.

The reason, I think, is because I live a small life. I'm so inside my box and my comfort zone, that I don't have new experiences, or discover new things. I don't run into new problems to solve, or socialize with people to discover problems they're trying to solve. So the ideas never come, but the way I consume life doesn't allow for it.

But rather than break the cycle, and spend more time away from the computer and living my life - I just rinse & repeat. I'm not getting any younger, and so many are out there building things, in the open, at lightning speed. How can I get where they are if I don't park myself behind my keyboard? How can I make a name for myself?

"Great, 4 hours before bed. What can I build tonight?"

"Ugh, how is 2 am already? Time for bed I guess. I'll try to think of some more ideas tomorrow."
Frankly, the old Thinkpad keyboard had the best combination of travel and feel ever put together. I can understand people preferring a different trackpad, and not particularly liking the TrackPoint, but the keys themselves were bloody amazing. Low travel, low effort, pre-bottom feedback with no unnecessary noise. (I used to use the USB version of the keyboard with my desktop machines, even though I needed a separate number pad to make some of the work easier.)
I wish there was a coordinated public service campaign around "Hang up, Look up, Call back". I feel like if we could really ingrain those 6 words that it would go a long way to blocking these types of phishing scams.

Number one thing I tell folks in my security training is to never respond or click a link on an inbound message. Instead, look up your bank or service provider and make an outbound call (or direct URL navigation) to them.
Simple version: Payments is contingent on patient being alive.

It's a life-time contract for the doctor, which aligns the incentives... Provided being in the highly quantized state of "alive" is all we care about, i think this is pretty bulletproof. The only place it will fall down is in the moral grey areas where euthanasia usually enters the ring, in which case a more specific criteria of alive may be necessary to prevent prolonged suffering.

However If this is applied to the multidimensional continuum of "health" it gets tricky again. Verifying you are "alive" can be done by your dog; verifying you are "healthy" would require at least as much independent expertise as the greedy doctor, and is an opinionated subject.

Interestingly though, this is kinda, roughly, sortof how public healthcare is supposed to work: everyone who is alive and in working health is capable of contributing economically and paying taxes... which fund the healthcare system, but since it's so indirect this alignment in incentives can only be appreciated at the organisational level trying to increase efficiency. e.g in theory it should encourage preventative healthcare which minimises long term cost while keeping their income stream alive, literally.
I think - just an opinion - both Newton and Galilei thought about higher level things than Kepler and Brahe, more general - be that "basic principle of relativity" or general motion of matter. I'd like to listen to science historians on this matter.
The dexterity required to only press the key (roughly) half way to the actuation point is just as strenuous; you might as well be bottoming them out every time. I prefer extreme short travel keyboards for this reason. Quieter, shorter key travel distance, much less fatigue.
Topre Realforce aren't really mechanical keyboards — they are rubber dome keyboards. They get lumped together with them only because they are high quality rubber domes, with a luxurious feel.

I would best compare Topre to Key Tronic Lifetime and ErgoForce rubber dome keyboards from the '90s. Both those and Topre are full-travel, and have a distinct bottom-out feel, but they still require you to bottom out.
They are also comparable in sound, IMHO.

BTW. I prefer low-profile rubber dome/scissor switches or full-travel mechanical Cherry MX Clear.
I've used a Topre keyboard a few weeks at work some years ago but my fingers starting aching from having to push past that big bump in the key travel.
There clearly is a need. It needs to be as easy as possible to switch away from Google, or developers won't do it. Additionally, an ecosystem where each developer is encouraged to go wild and implement their own notification system is not ideal. Sure, some of them will be competent enough not to deplete the user's battery within a few hours, but others will not be, and each individual app that does this contributes to battery drain in a tiny way, which adds up.

> Many platforms before Apple/Google worked like this

Mobile devices are an entirely different beast with strict battery life and data usage requirements.

Another factor to consider is that Android will kill long-running background apps unless you disable battery optimization for said apps through a convoluted process (even if you show a persistent notification). [1] It would be really inconvenient for users to have to manually disable battery optimization for every app that wants to send push notifications.

> If it's only an odd-even difference, why are composite bosons (like, whole atoms) so more.. exotic than composite fermions?

> That is, why do atoms normally obey the Pauli exclusion principle?

Whole atoms can be fermions (the Wikipedia article gives the example of ³He), and the Pauli exclusion principle applies to fermions within a given quantum system, not to bosons (though sometimes the quantum system itself is a composite boson, though it could also be a composite fermion—the most common set of systems in which it is discussed, atoms, can be either.)
They are different, but it's true the capacitive part is hardly necessary for the feel.

Unlike normal mechs, there is almost no chance you're not bottoming out a Topre anyways, so the actuation point could be at the very bottom of travel and still work the same.

Also I've tried $40 rubber dome Keytronics that had identical snappy Topre action, and the result was so similar I doubt most Topre users would be able to tell them apart (they might even prefer the Keytronic, the keys were much tighter)
> Being able to recycle those robust, well made chassis with modern hardware is a great idea.

A modernization on all the internals in L's X60 is needed, too. Perfect size and strong body.
I agree with your point about not acknowledging these scam attempts. Just wanted to point out the "fight back" bit of the story was advice for people who've already been victimized and are being told their bank won't cover the loss.
C++ is used heavily for robotics (particularly ROS), so I can see why they would need it, but yeah that's steep.
There are 8 billion people or so on the planet. How many of them have made anything close to RollerCoaster Tycoon? 1%? .001%?

Most of the planet is worried about having somewhere to sleep and eat.

Live your life and try not to get too tangled up in what .001% of the planet is up to. You will never feel good enough if you keep chasing the .001%...
More expensive to compute? I guess technically, but I don't think you could ever measure or see the difference without running a debugger.
Not in an Amazon warehouse, but yes I have worked in a shipping warehouse in my early adulthood (19). It was hard work, sure, and my boss was an asshole who later got committed to the funny farm (seriously!). But I never had to take a shit while driving, I was never worked like a slave, and nobody ever implied something bad might happen to my family's jobs if I talked to a union rep either.

There's degrees here, and Amazon treats vulnerable people with a very high degree of hostility and abuse. That fact alone tells me everything I need to know about the people running that organization. They're not about mutual benefit - the real reason for capitalism - they're about exploitation, and they'll do it to anyone and everyone they can as long as they can get away with it.

The problem with NTRs in the atmosphere isn't the risk of blowup, it's that their thrust/weight ratios are just terrible. And in the atmosphere, it's early in the launch, so Isp is not important.
I built a two axis gimbal for tracking satellites with an RF antenna. I used a couple moteus controllers and a raspberry pi and just started hacking away. Took about four weeks to get something useful.

I’d come up with the project first and then find someone doing it (or something similar) on YouTube to get some ideas. Keep it functional but simple, 2-3 degrees of freedom to start. No quadruped robots unless you are ready to invest $5k+ and probably multiple years into it.

Yes, a few banks now offer 95-100% LTV mortgages for first time buyers.

In our case, the bank required a savings account containing a 10% deposit in the name of a family member, which is returned to them with interest after 3 years (unless you fall into arrears). ~50% of that money was our own savings and the rest was from parents savings, which allowed us to get on the property ladder with ~1yr less saving and no cost to our families after the 3yr period.
Topre switches are great! But can someone explain the draw of HHKBs? Aside from nerd street cred, that is. A lot of programmers swear by them, but I don't understand why.

Let's talk about the layout. As a Vim user, I need my CapsLock->Esc. Fine, so I'll remap Ctrl—but inexplicably, there are huge gaps where the regular Ctrl keys would be. There are no arrow keys or nav cluster, which means you need to use layers or key combinations to access them. I have no problem relearning how to use my keyboard, but dedicated keys are still faster and easier.

This is the part where an HHKB user says I'm doing it wrong. But that doesn't explain the inexcusable absence of Ctrl keys. And that doesn't explain the $300+ price tag when there are better keyboards for half the price.

The one nice thing about the layout is that it keeps the keyboard small. I'd gladly trade a little size for more keys though.

There are other Topre keyboards and Topre clones, as well as good linear switches out there. The switches are not really special anymore. Ten years ago, maybe, but not anymore. If I had to have Topre-like switches, I'd get clones with a better layout and Cherry-compatible stems. This isn't the mid 2000s anymore; there is actual competition in the mechanical keyboard market now.

Different keyboards are different, as are workplaces. I would never bring a keyboard with clicky switches to a shared workplace. There are also ways to make mechanical keyboards as silent as a classic office keyboards.
Einsteins famous quote about his difficulties in mathematics stems from this period. Hilbert had mastered the be relevant mathematics, and was closing in on relativity much faster than Einstein. Hilbert was teaching Einstein the tools Einstein needed.

Recall at this time Hilbert was a god in mathematics, and one of the best that ever lived. He did groundbreaking work in n many areas of math and physics.

Of the two, each left alone, it's far more likely Hilbert would have arrived first. Working while corresponding likely made Einstein much faster and Hilbert slightly faster.

Einstein took 8 years to work out general relativity. Hilbert started working on physics in 1912 and by 1915 had gotten to where he was deriving general relativity. The speed he worked in physics and the broad range of topics he influenced in physics far outshines Einstein. Hilbert famously said physicists don't know enough math to do physics. He was right at that time - his math mastery let him plow through physics much faster.

To see the scope of things attributed to Hilbert versus attributed to Einsteins simply look over their Wikipedia pages.

Collective action and interest groups in general are the counter to lobbyists/political power of corporations. Unions are definitely a form of interest group, but even groups such as AARP, NAACP, NRA, etc., are examples as well.

By democracy, do you mean direct democracy, representative democracy, both, or neither?
I think I remember the keyboard you're referring to- the keys had squared corners and slightly concaved shape? The newer Thinkpad keyboards have much different- and worse- flat keys with rounded corners, and mushy. I've actually come to prefer the much shorter Macbook style keys nowadays.
Recommend Netflix's Kota Factory that I happened to watch recently to anyone interested in this. (Not vouching for any accuracy, I'm British, (and it's a fictional drama series) but this comment reminded me of it since it does portray the sort of madness(?) described.)
Essentially mobilization of society by making people feel deeply emotionally connected to a cause. Successful politicians have an intuitive feel for what will trigger a loss in elections and will change course those that don't are wiped away irrespective of wealth lobbying.

This has happened and continues to happen many many times in many many countries but it usually does take a group of motivated people (and another group of people who have faith in them to underwrite their living expenses) to essentially focus on the cause to the exclusion of everything else.

It is remarkable if you go through history just how much has been achieved through persistent (years or decades) of the above types of efforts with very little money. The reason ordinary political campaigns require a lot of wealth is because they're run by people and on issues which people running them don't really care about much.

The bounding box is the natural implementation because it matches what the user sees -- when you select multiple objects, the rotation handle is at the corner, because where else would it be? Plus it’s very easy to code and to test.

But yeah, using a rotationally-invariant point would be better than the stateful fix the article goes for.

Center-of-mass would make sense except it might do strange things if you have a mix of solid shapes and lines. How much mass should the lines have?

Using the centre of the bounding circle is probably best, as others in this discussion have suggested.

What is 'far away' in Switzerland? I'm in Australia and have a small beef farm and there no way a bell could let you know where cows always are. They get into a gully on the other side of your property etc sound wont travel. I only have a small property I run as a side business vs many family farmers on thousands or 10's of thousands of acres. The really big properties get I to millions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_stations...

Also a bell doesn't stop them getting through a fence and into your neighbours property or heading bush.

A big part of this tech is pasture management. Ideally you want to keep a herd moving so they only eat the top third of pasture and move on. This can help automate that task.

Not least what they mention about real time feedback about cattle health.

I don't doubt bells are useful, but this tech is at another level of helpfulness. It's a smart phone vs yelling difference.

The big question is cost and measurable benifit. Having to mesh wifi a large property won't be cheap (maybe just water points for daily updates?), the cost per collar and how long they last and how this plays into grazing and health benifits will decide how viable this tech is.
