If you are looking for quiet tactile mechanical switches, the best current option is getting Outemu U4 switches (current best silent tactile switches) and replacing the springs in them with 55gram TX springs. It’s about 2 hours long project for a full-size keyboard but is the best you can do now if you want silent switches that have distinct tactile feedback and are yet easy on the joints.

After years of climbing and grappling I am very wary of keyboards that trigger some kind of sensation in my joints. Heavy switches for 6-8 hour typing sessions seem like a recipe for some life—altering RSI
Like decentralised compute - putting idle CPUs and energy to use. How far that can be taken remains to be seen.
No, you rented it from the registrar.
Nobody owns domains, one rents them for the temporary control over NS records. The registrar can take it away at their prerogative.
Its funny, but I never watched broadcast TV or Cable primarily becuase "just watching whats on" meant a 99% chance of sitting through dreck that I can't stand, so I never did it. In 1995, I had a collection of over 200 VHS tapes of movies I loved (all purchased, not copied.) In 2005 I had a collection of 500 DVDs that I had purchased.

Today, I have about 700 movied ripped from DVDs (and the DVDs still in boxes somewhere), and 500 movies purchased on iTunes. I don't subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, or any other streaming service because, again, 99% of it is dreck I can't stand. So instead I have a collection of 1200 movies that I like and specifically chose and purchased. Some are better than others, but they're all ones I like.
Distracting? Is It?
I'like to point out though that "zstd" is itself an abbreviation, and "zstandard" would be quite onerous.
I agree so much!! I've tried my best to like mechanical keyboards... but no, I hate them.

The noise is distracting, they require too much strength on every key, and they are big and expansive!

I thought I might have the wrong keytypes, so I even purchased key testers: the red keys are less noisy, but that doesn't solve the other problems. So I just can't find a reason to like them.

My favorite keyboard is the Thinkpad keyboard (TrackPoint Keyboard II Bluetooth 4Y40X49493): the island version (current) is more comfortable than the previous version where the keys were touching (SK-8835 family if you want a numpad) as it leaves some room for nails.

Mechanical keyboards seem preferred by gamers, but in my opinion, they make little sense in an office setting.

However, my new favorite mouse is the Logitech G600 that's popular for MMOs: after purchasing a few different mice that had been recommended here and testing them all, it's the one that fits the best in my hand, even if it's still too large (why can't they make smaller mice??)

What I like the most is how it has side keys that can be mapped in the firmware to physical keys (persistent setting) and to elaborate actions in AutoHotKey!

Now give me the same thing 30% smaller, wireless with bluetooth, with a left hand option, and I'd happily pay $200 for it!

Everyone thinks they're a great driver.
>However, the rotated shapes probably have a different average center; which means that your second rotation (ie to rotate things back) is pivoting around a different point. And that's what causes the change of position.

Uhh, what? Why doesn't the rotated group have the same centre as the original? The article glosses right over this without explaining it. Is it floating point imprecision? Is it from rasterization?
Why would they pull it before having a replacement ready? Is this just classic US-first thinking where the rest of the world kinda fell through the cracks?
I have lived in a country which suffered rampant inflation as well (not quite to the degree where it'd be called hyperinflation, but rapid enough that it was a serious consideration in day-to-day life).

It's all well and good to talk about fixing brokenness, but it's not always politically viable. Furthermore, even when it is, people still have to go around living in the meantime. "It'll be solved eventually when everything is made perfect" is not a reasonable approach, and people are well aware of that. A very popular saying where I'm from goes, "the strictness of the law is mitigated by not having to follow it".
RubyMine was impressive (because it's a hard problem) but still hit or miss when I was writing Ruby about 5 years ago. It may very well have improved a lot since then!
So you can invalidate your keys (not the phone app) via your phone by mistake?
How does the Wooting sound? Is it loud or silent X

Is it lighter or heavier than MX Brown?
Because people lose keys, and they lose phones, but the chances of losing both at the same time are quite low.

An app is a great backup to have.
In terms of screen-on-time (for comparable tasks like web browsing) they are pretty close to modern phones..
It seems we think very much the same. Given the historical background, I just think it would be better to use words such as knowledge, understanding, thinking, rationale, instead of belief.
The keycard is just a back-up that you can keep in your wallet. Unlocking with the app (phone) happens automatically with bluetooth when you are near the car, no internet required.
The main reason to use the app is if you want to unlock remotely for someone else using your car.
>The disappointment is real when you tell the ransomware guy, "We're not paying. We just restored from backup."

Worked at a trucking company as a software dev and this exact thing happened. Got hit with ransomware attack but our IT team had daily backups of EVERYTHING. This was when ransomware was first "taking off" and they weren't even 100% sure if the attack was real.

I wish I got to see the ransomware's operator's reaction, but I honestly feel like they probably had enough people falling for it so I doubt they really got that upset.

Yes, I have no objection to this usage of 'trust'. My objection is in 'trust the law'.
I have two comments. One is, why do you feel the need to be remembered and be great in the first place? Most people won't. Maybe the problem is your desire, which is something you may be able to change. Acceptance in combination with my second comment may be a good way forward for you. I'm personally not that productive despite broad and deep knowledge and I accept that I won't be great because I enjoy what I do.

Second, you say you're self-taught and you probably have a lot of experience. Why don't you start learning computer science online at this point? Not just another skill to stack on but something to contextualize everything and broaden your horizons while deepening what you already know about (not something unrelated: keep specializing.) I've done this with some things and it can be really mind-blowing to fill in some gaps, more than you might expect.

Make sure you take care of the relationships in your life too. You may just be looking for what you need in the wrong place here.
Thanks for your thoughts!

A note on the one about entitlement:

Everyone is _entitled_ to have their experience of reality acknowledged (this opens up a can of worms, but bear with me).

Someone who is neurodivergent (like OP) experiences reality differently than someone who is neurotypical. It's subjective, and hand-wavy, I know. But to some greater extent, we have to respect _and accept_ what people tell us about themselves.

I liken it to being a parent, when you see your child worrying about something, or saying something you disagree with. Instead of trying to force your viewpoint on them by telling them how they _should_ feel (have you ever caught yourself doing that? I know I have), why not ask them _why_ they feel like that? You gain understanding, and through understanding discovery, which leads to acceptance and a deepening of empathy for individual experience.

I've personally discovered that what comes across as well intentioned "advice" can often feel a lot like shame. And shame, is the death of joy. It only leads one direction -- downwards. So my "advice" is generally to listen more, to _accept_ more.

Anyways, that's what I was getting at. Hopefully this helps add clarity.
Specifically, it's for ELF binaries built in such a way that adding a new function or new data does not break however they cache existing functions/data.

I wonder if this concept could be extended to other binary types that git has problems with, were you able to know/control more about the underlying binary format.
Wow, I had no idea the Model M was so pricey. I always assumed it was a big standard accessory that became a cult classic
Depends on the business. Our Apps primarily support employees so our release window has always been Thursday evenings or weekends for infrastructure.

They're ok with employees losing productivity on Friday but more than a day is unacceptable.

Agree
Not public, but gyms/athletic clubs fit this description in some cities. If you have a private, permanent locker at a gym/club close to your office, you can stash clothes, equipment etc. to avoid hauling everything back and forth on transit.

Doesn't really solve for sports like softball and golf that GP mentioned since those are in lower-traffic areas basically by necessity.
The phone works just fine without internet connection. That’s how I unlocked my car before I posted the comment above.

What did I make up? Are you connected to the original situation? If so, please explain your connection. If you are an interested party in this, it would be honest for you to explain that now.
I somewhat agree. I also think that sometimes going backwards is exactly what people like. For instance, mechanical keyboards are pretty old and largely replaced, but so many people like them so much that they are willing to spend a lot of money on them.
Toyota Land Cruiser (the older ones.) Look for one that has airbags and ABS and nothing else computer-controlled.
DIY conversions are quite possible. Go find an old car, rip out the old engine, put in the electric engine. It clearly is more complex than that, as there is wiring involved and you need to match it up to the transmission, but if you really want an old car with an electric motor, it is an achievable goal.
If there is a lockdown again, there had better not be high government officials ignoring it (especially ones who advocated for it). Otherwise, there will almost certainly be violence. We are done with hypocritical bigshots telling us what we have to do "for the greater good", and then deciding that they're too important for the rules to apply to them.

Assange even though isn't protected by the UK isn't getting extraordinarily renditioned. Yes, the UK has treated him badly and we know Hillary wished him dead via drone, but so far, that has not happened (either extraordinarily renditioned nor droned) though it may come to pass that he gets extradited someday.
I think the point is the articles are often extremely derisive and therefore hypocritical when finance or <insert any other high-paying industry> companies don't receive the same attention if at all
And the Model M is actually the result of a series of cost-reduction measures from prior IBM keyboards, and received numerous cost-cutting changes during its production cycle.

Though I'd guess it was a standard accessory - you gonna order an IBM AT PC without a keyboard? Probably not. And that AT would have been around 5000 $ or so, so 250 $ for the keyboard isn't that outrageous. Computers were expensive.
If would depend on the details whether or not they were competitive with a car’s trunk.

Can they fit a golf bag? Can I know that I’ll get one when I show up? Is it roughly on the way? If I’m wanting to go home to office to golf to dinner/drinks to home in a day, how different is it to go home to transit to transit/locker to work to locker/transit to transit to golf to locker to dinner to locker to home?

Before kids, I’d play sports 4-5 nights a week. These fields often take up a lot of space (it’s obviously hard to fit a golf course in a high density area) meaning public transit would never be robust to get to them.
You just ignore those disclaimers and they go away. Blame the sue happy society we live in for that… it is pure CYA.
Love your enthusiasm :).

Okay from a different angle.
Im sure you have thought about this:

My point was referring to the challenge of moving people away from their existing communication platforms.

So I wrote down some quick ideas how to move your philosophy which many of us clearly appreciated to our current workflow.

Convincing individuals to your product is something you are clearly succeeding in, but for many of us to convince our social circles to move your product won't be so easy to do.

At least I, and maybe more of us would love this feature in Gmail or whatever e-mail client they are using.
This makes sense, thank you.
I think it’s because the centre is computed using the X and Y axis, and the rotated shapes have a different bounding box on those axes.
ConstitutionDAO exists as a smart contract on Ethereum, not a legal entity. Funds pooled in that contract are spent at the discretion of users in the DAO, by contributing to the DAO you agree to the multisig stipulation (this could vary depending on the DAO).

Because the constitution and ownership of the constitution is managed in the current legal and financial world (centralized), the DAO has to bridge out of the decentralized network to purchase it. Since no decentralized system exists in the current legal infrastructure they had to incorporate in Wyoming to make the purchase. (I don't think they would have been required to do this if Sothebys had an Ethereum Wallet)

If the DAO had won the bid and kept the constitution and managed it, nobody from the centralized world would be able to purchase the Constitution without the permission of the DAO and it's 17 thousand users (aka a buyer coming into decentralized territory). This is the purpose of the purchase, it is purely symbolic. The metaphorical possession of the DAO sets the precedent that blockchains can set a new standard for building Governance systems. What better way to demonstrate the growth of innovative governance bodies than buying the foundational document of modern day governance itself?

Moreover, it may be wrapped up in humorous memes and shitposts, but the sentiment is the same. That being the blockchain is a contender for overthrowing all current financial systems, and by proxy Governance as well. This is the whole idea behind the metaverse. Emergent and collaborative digital cities that are representative of real world communities working together to solve real problems like climate change, world hunger, poverty, education and every other problem you could think of. It breaks the shackles of the masters inside corporations and the masters inside the government.

Also, after losing the bid, do you think it is a coincidence that one of the men who stands to lose the most from the success of cryptocurrency was the person who won the auction?

Thunks – a place to think through ideas still forming
While there would be some current inducted into the bulb, I think it doesn't quite tell the whole story.

If you had another bulb and wire, that was strung parallel, but not connected on the (switch side) far end, flipping the switch ON would, by laws of relativity, for entire 0.5s necessarily have exactly the same effect on both bulbs, regardless whether or which one forms a circuit. All power transfer would be inductive/capacitative and one needs to lookup those formulas if one wants to know what will happen during the first 0.5s and some time after that.

Logically then, if the lines were perpendicular rather than parallel, only turning back into a loop far away, the switch's effect on the bulb would be exactly¹ zero until the fields themselves are folded by the wire far away.

¹ counting imperfections, reflections etc - not too close to 0
Oh wow, do people really bring mechanical keyboards to the office? I thought that was generally considered a no-no.

> the PCB is allegedly "special" (doubt)

I've taken apart Topre style boards before. I can absolutely confirm that the internals work differently from a classic rubber dome board.

I'm not about to argue that the different mechanism makes Topres somehow special or worth the price of admission, but there's nothing "alleged" about it. I do love the sound they make, though.
I'm curious what evidence or reasoning you could offer to substantiate each of these claims.
I did not say I am a great driver, but an attentive one. That means that when I drive, I focus on driving. I am sure there are people who can notice the same things I do while paying less attention on the road: that would make them "better" drivers.
Two things:
The first step to happiness is not comparing yourself to others. You will ALWAYS be able to find something in the people around you to envy and you will NEVER be happy.

This second one may not be helpful in your current state of mind, but has always helped me focus on the first point. That is: in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter. 50,000 years from now it's likely that NOBODY from our current times will be remembered. The guy who wrote rollercoaster tycoon definitely will not be. Someone as infamous as Hitler is a solid shmaybe and that's only if the human race continues to advance technologically and start settling the universe. If we don't go extinct and we don't make it off this planet, the odds are good we'll have driven ourselves back to the stone ages, at which point nobody will remember or care about any of us. So from that perspective, who cares? Just be kind to others, do things you enjoy, and try to be a productive member of society (whatever that means to you).
Take a look at ergonomic keyboards.

Having a split keyboard is the most important step IMO to healthy hands, right after getting the right desk height to keep the wrist at the normal angle.

I recommend keeb.io keyboards (I own 3), Sinc (fuller size) or Quefrency. Don’t let the aesthetic confuse you - they are much better quality than anything factory made.

If you are looking for a more traditional keyboard - look at Kinesis offerings (they have several split mech boards, I own Freestyle, but retired it in favor of Keeb.io stuff)

I hear people like Digma Raise as well, but i never used it.

YMDK has a 65% split board on Drop i think.

Seriously, go for the split one.
I can't imagine anyone using the app to unlock their car on a normal basis. Normally, you just walk up to it with your phone with bluetooth enabled, and it unlocks for you(you don't need to proactively take an action on the app like clicking an unlock button)

So, you carry the keycard in your wallet in case your phone dies or it is stolen or whatever, you can still get in and start your car. But 99.999% of times you just walk up to your car and start driving without unlocking, or turning a key, or anything like that.
Maybe delivery could be optionally executed through the mail! i.e. the writing experience happens through the app but then the recipient gets a paper letter. No idea if people would go for that or if it'd be worth the extra complexity.
For newer versions, the SK-8835 currently goes over $200 used - actually there's one at $199 on ebay with missing keys :)

It was my favorite until I got a new thinkpad, with island keys: even if both are membrane, they are just so much better than the mechanical alternatives!
I think everyone has these feelings. There is always someone you admire knowledgewise and there are just so many things to learn.

Don't forget, the internet you are connected to contains hundreds of millions of people and we all follow the same 10 k top performers? And I think 10 k would even be generous, perhaps it's 5 per niche ( eg. dotnet, python, gamedev, unity, ... ). The dificult thing is to not completely compare to them.

Eg. Scot Hansselman ( https://www.hanselman.com/ ) is a great evangelist of dotnet but also works for Microsoft. He has more easy access to many resources and he shares those.

John Savill also teaches at Pluralsight and has a great youtube channel for Azure weekly updates ( Eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUcbSNK6LGg ). But he also works at Microsoft as a Principal Cloud Solution Architect, so it's also easier to accomplish what they are doing ( i'm not saying it's easy though)
> what you mean by welcoming them, or feeling them through. But if I interpret that as “accepting it” ...

I think acceptance is the right idea, yes.

There can be some urge to deny one's own emotions, perhaps push them aside as some sort of inconvenience or character flaw. Some might inwardly shout at themselves "stop whining! you're selfish to wallow like this!" (or any number of variations, both quiet and loud). That tends to just create more misery down the line, IMO. So, "welcoming" was meant as the opposite of that.

And processing emotions takes time, so by "feeling them through" I just meant allowing that process to run its course, rather than trying to inhibit or deny it. I don't think there's any stopping it, you just have to ride the wave.

YMMV of course, I'm no psychologist (:
Many have tried (they dont need to be NFT's, they just need a record mapping of name->NS IPs). Namecoin tried this. Handshake is trying this. ENS is trying this.

IMHO they will fail. You wont see decentralized name registration in the global DNS namespace. Too much abuse potential, too little

But you can't amend a commit without destroying the old version of it.

Stacked diffs run in two dimensions. In one dimension is the stack of diffs -- logical incremental changes to the code, which make sense to code historians from the future. But each diff in the stack also has a history as it progressed through code review.
If you are into DIY (it's easier with a truck than a car, as you can get under without lifting it) look into the treatments people use for Land Rovers and other 4x4s that they regularly drive off road. It's not just a one-off thing though, you should reapply it every few years - this is why cars still rust that have the undercoating the dealer upsells you.
Been using ultimate hacking keyboard for about 2 years now. Can't switch to anything else - it is that good.
I actually saw this recently (within the last week) on /r/hfy. (Not the book, just a short story.

They thought they were being big nasty conquerors, imposing harsh terms...)
