> You’ve seen people test Topre boards such as the HHKB, Realforce, Leopold, and some Topre-clone boards too, and many rave about the way they sound and feel.

No, I haven't heard of Topre or seen any reviews until now.

> Topre boards, why are they so expensive? ... $250 ...

Although I suspect many keyboard enthusiasts might usually hover in the $100-$200 range for their pieces, $250 for parts and labor isn't that expensive. The Kinesis Advantage is $350, the Ergodox Moonlander is $370, even Apple's magic keyboard for the iPad is $300 so a $250 isn't cheap, but certainly isn't astronomical compared to what's out there. A lot of cheaper keyboards can be had, but they usually come at the cost of poorer quality or require additional labor and customization.
Several good cryptocurrencies with low carbon footprint such as Algorand, and Ethereum soon transitioning.

The obvious advantage for artists is cutting out the middlemen for distribution of their work by taking advantage of public financial facilities such as smart contracts for escrow etc. That does require collectors to honor the ownership records, but they need reliable mechanisms for tracking that and blockchains are an excellent mechanism, as well as a straightforward way to patronize the creators directly.
nah. employers like young people because their desire to "change the world" can be exploited
This gets at the crux of my angst along the OP's line: When I look at people who have dedicated themselves to that thing that they pored so many hours into, what I always wonder is, "How did they make the decision to put so much of their time into that thing." Like, I agree with OP that the Roller Coaster Tycoon one man project is really impressive. But there's no world in which I could possibly care enough about building a roller coaster video game to put that time in. And besides a precious few things that are ludicrously hard to break into - contributing to cancer research, working on nuclear fusion, space travel, etc. - it's hard for me to imagine pouring my soul into things that require so much commitment.

It would be impossible new without buying them for crash tests and I think maybe modifying the engine, and it gets very expensive (I'm not 100% sure but it's a tedious and very difficult and expensive process from what I remember).

Bell Labs were owned by Western Electric and AT&T.

AFAIK they weren't directly public funded. You can argue that AT&T being a monopoly amounted to indirect help, but that still does not it itself generate enough money for research itself, neither does it ensure that the entity will be even willing to do and finance more research than absolutely necessary. They could have spent all the revenue on executive bonuses and campaign contributions to their congressmen.
Maybe but: I was so into mechanical keyboards, researched all the keycaps and switches and different layouts, configurations etc. It can be a huge hobby. Then I bought a Realforce Topre and haven't looked at a single mechanical keyboard thing since. It's just a seriously good keyboard.
This is not well researched and written. There are many cheap EC keyboards out there. The price premium is due to cult following that predates the recent trend in mechanical keyboards.
> I think the fake 'inflation' we are seeing (which is really supply-side shock) will vanish, and reveal that we are in a huge deflationary environment.

I think these two contradict each other. Inflation is fake, but interest rates rise?

Yup.

This! I was constantly looking to grab the next rung up on the career ladder. Having kids made me rethink my priorities on helping them mature into happy, productive members of society.

Owner of a more recent Mazda3 hatchback here. For the last few years I've driven many different makes and models either for work or as rentals on vacation and would agree that they're one of the best if you're looking for a new car.

Looks great, feels great, and all of the tech seems carefully considered and balanced. The closest thing to a complaint would be that I do prefer an analogue gauge cluster, but the digital display is tasteful and after driving I rarely even notice that it's on a screen.

Before purchasing, I was really looking for a hybrid or PHEV but nothing came close to feeling right in the same way. If Mazda offered exactly the same car that wasn't ICE, I would probably sell and buy again in an instant.
>“An atom can only scatter a photon if it can absorb the force of its kick, by moving to another chair,” explains Ketterle, invoking the arena seating analogy. “If all other chairs are occupied, it no longer has the ability to absorb the kick and scatter the photon.

by that logic neutron stars should be highly transparent/invisible too.

Upon further investigation it looks like both Facebook and Google auth on Android are not working—and for different, unrelated reasons. My sincerest apologies.

It appears the underlying problem is the volume of traffic has tripped something at both of these providers. Google actually works, just incredibly slowly. Facebook says I need to submit the app for developer review—but I did that a while ago and when I go to https://developers.facebook.com it says I'm all set... I will try to figure out what's going on.

If you're interested in the app, please create an account using a password—you'll be able to add Google/Facebook in "Settings" later.

There never are 50 reasonable possible moves in Chess, but with top 3 it would be an advantage.

Perhaps it's illustrative to consider the chess variant "hand and brain" played by teams of two people, one ("brain") picking the piece to be moved, and the other ("hand") choosing where to move it; the relationship is complex, but in general having a strong "brain" limit your possible moves to just a single piece would improve the chances of a weaker "hand" above what they could do on their own.

I'm not a radical. I'm totally ok with embedded software, or with the legal restrictions you mention. I'm also ok with software that is optional or uninstallable too.

What I dislike is companies putting unnecessary, unsafe, crappy software that's full of tracking/spyware in their products. This is common with SmartTVs and lots of things in the smart/IoT space. I've seen the damage done and I just dislike the lack of choice and want to vote with my wallet.

3.8 series II. That thing will live forever!!

For grad school, I got a cousin of it, a 2002 olds. These w body, V6 GMs are so smooth!! So pleasant on the highway! And get 30 mpg? I can’t bring myself to get rid of the thing. In fact I’m a bit obsessive about keeping it nice. It’s so inexpensive to mantón and run, and it is a good, spacious, smooth car.

Not luxurious, but still quiet and smooth. Not sporty, yet it passes anything on the highway with ease. Not flashy, but neither am I. Not new, yet still, somehow, reliable. Not techie, yet wit a cellphone mount and a Bluetooth (wired) adapter, I can do just about every thing I want.

Like you, I couldn’t be happier with my old boat.

This had a mirror situation in the East.

Korolev was a genius engineer. He was also a workaholic who would not relent until he got first class components for his rockets, even if it involved bitter fights with ossified Soviet industry.

When he died, his peers Glushko and Chelomei could not really replace him. After Korolev's death, innovation in Soviet space program slowed down and they lost the edge.
It's invisible only for the light of colors with photons with low energy, because the trick only blocks some interactions of the material and light.

If you use light with photons with more energy [perhaps ultraviolet] then other interactions are possible and it is visible.

So "invisible" is a simplification/exaggeration in the press article.

> While it should in theory be no problem that a workplace is 90% men and 10% women because they live in a platonic ideal where they've been free to attain to their true ambition that is influenced by biological traits related to sex, in reality, once one gender gains enough dominance in a field or workplace, sexual discrimination, harassment, and gatekeeping end up deepening the imbalance.

The assumption that an industry that has a large gender imbalance will inevitably end up discriminating against the minority gender is incorrect. Plenty of studies have shown tech companies to actually favor women in hiring:

Tech companies were more likely to give callbacks to female applicants: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3672484

Modulating people to sound like the opposite gender in coding interviews actually hurts women and helps men: https://blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-ma...

There are policies that can eliminate bias: Strip names and identifying information out of resumes before recruiters see them. Modulate voices in interviews to eliminate ability to infer gender or foreign accents, and use no video so as to prevent people from identifying races. The problem is that this often doesn't produce the results people are expecting.

I used `bupstash` and evaluated it for a while. I am looking to do 5+ offsite backups of a small personal directory to services that offer 5GB of cloud space for free.

`bupstash` lacked good compression. I settled with `borg` because I could use `zstd` compression with it. Currently at 60 snapshots of the directory and the `borg` repo directory is at ~1.52GB out of 5GB quota. The source directory is ~12.19GB uncompressed. Very happy with `borg` + `zstd` and how they handle my scenario.

I liked `bupstash` a lot, and the author is responsive and friendly. But I won't be giving it another try until it implements much more aggressive compression compared to what it can do now. It's a shame, I really wanted to use it.

I do recognize that for many other scenarios `bupstash` is very solid though.

But you own the painting. With the NFT, all you have is a URL pointing to a hosting service which anyone else can access and you have to keep paying if you want it to stay online.
The included amounts in your monthly fee need to be priced in to get an appropriate estimate. I would compute your monthly cost for a certain number of requests rather than trying to multiple a per request number because none of the slopes intercept at 0. At 1 million requests per month, you'll likely be paying $5 on either plan since that's below the baked-in thresholds.

I wouldn't really compare the pricing because they're different use cases.

* Bundled workers can't do 100ms of compute per request. They're limited to a max of 50ms.

* Unbound scripts can use as much or as little compute as you want per request up to a maximum wall time of 30s.

* Cron triggers can use up to 15 minutes of wall time per invocation (but can't handle requests).

If you can do all I/O & CPU within 50ms, then unbundled might theoretically be cheaper still but that's just on my coarse napkin math. It's hard to correctly model how many Workers you'll end up needing during the month which provides large error bars (e.g if you get 100 requests per second across the globe, the cost will be very different than if you got 100 rps from just 1 machine for the month).

The option to pick is the one that satisfies the shape of the problem you are using. Predicting the price you'll end up paying is a bit hard to estimate correctly vs just seeing what your bill ends up being.

Got a 2016 Kia Rio QB hatchback with a 1.6L G4FC engine this spring as my first car. It had a bit more than 30k km on it, very slightly dinged (I already had bonked it twice though).

Reliable as a brick. Drives like one too. But boy is it stupidly simple — no bluetooth even, chucked in a USB receiver and called it a day. No touchscreens, no fancy driver assist, no cameras, no nothing. Just an AC and motorized windows.

Paid around $10k for it. Worth every rouble.

Korean cars are very popular here in Moscow. Basically every taxi is either Kia or Hyundai, Toyotas are less common. Outside of major cities Renault (Dacia) and Ladas are prevalent because they're even cheaper.

Want a dumb car? Come to Russia. We have some.
There should also be strategies for the choice of center to be invariant even after re-selecting the rotated set of shapes. You should be able to do this by finding the two points farthest from each other, and choosing the midpoint between the two, for instance. But that point might not be unique, so maybe finding the center of the smallest circle enclosing all objects would be a better example?
That's super impressive, I will definitely give it a go. Thanks for sharing!

As someone with a Topre Realforce and a reproduction Model F capacitive buckling spring, I say that layout matters much more and I use a fully custom ergonomic keyboard (Mitosis layout but not split) with Kailh Box Navy switches, which are good enough.

I'm still faster on buckling spring or Topre though, despite daily driving the ergo. Their lighter force and deeper stroke (4mm versus 3.5 for the Kailhs) just are better for extremely fast typing.
“You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.”
It's not so much imposter syndrome. It's that research-based graduate experience matters, not in what one learns, but that it forces a person to go through 4 to 7 years of deeply focused introspection, often on fundamental reality.

I suspect similar experience can be gained in a monastery or deep spiritual processes. It's not that PhD is a requirement, people gain this ability in different ways, just it's the most standard way to set aside 5-7 years to focus nowadays.

It's not the kind of experience that one can gain from undergrad, or in a regular 9-5. Also when we are older, it's difficult to find the kind of time to do deeply focused introspection on a single topic.

Without this process, it's easy to get trapped into superficial learning, and confuse regurgitating factoids with knowledge and insight.

The key to do this once again is that instead of trying to learn everything, focus on a singular topic very deeply for a non-trivial amount of time.
This was strangely motivational. Given how you write and your degree of introspection you can get to where you want to be.

One thing I realized lately, is the hard work you put in today may not bear fruit for a while. There's also a power of compounding. Ultimately it all starts with what you are passionate about.

Not to be rude, it's good you feel shallow and dumb, because it shows you perceive the absence. So now it's a question of what you do with that feeling.

What gets you excited today? How can you start making baby steps towards that? Start small, and remember if you make 1% towards something every day, that will really quickly start to add up.

The worst thing you can do is nothing! And then you'd grow old, look back at your life, and feel the regret of what you could have done, when now you are old, graying, wrinkly and dying.

Isn't life too short to have that regret? And you are only 30!
