> CalyX has is constantly harassing and bullying other privacy-focused projects, causing incredible harm to the privacy and security community. It also has been missing updates for 4 months recently, making it a terrible choice for anyone.

You actively harass and bully by not providing any sources for your claims. That's bad for an open, fact-based discussion and is opposed to how I percept the community. What are your claims based on? Can you provide any sources?
As far as I know, CalyxOS tries to maintain a quite neutral temper:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/pmguwi/grapheneos_...

You can read the details of CalyxOS' implementation of microG here:
https://calyxos.org/docs/tech/microg-details/

> Made the permission signature|privileged so only system apps signed with the right key, or privileged system apps with an explicit allowlist for this permission can use it.

> Hardcoded the signature to be spoofed instead of letting the application specify it.

> Only allowed the microG packages, GmsCore and Store to spoof signature. Both of these are included as system apps on CalyxOS so simply checking against the package name is enough.

That doesn't sound like that much of a risk to me. Esentially, it's a tradeoff between privacy and usability that microG tries to solve/soften. For example, it came in handy, when standalone Open-Source implementations of Google's contact tracing approach weren't available yet. microG quickly implemented it so official apps worked.
I'm waiting for the day when we submit to a cranial measurement scan that deduces intelligence based on blackbox ai. This is a joke, but yeah interviews are ridiculous at this point. In time, I might just do something more fun like being a pilot, running a eucalyptus farm etc.

Property or land taxes are better than all other taxes, for a number of reasons.

* It is hard, nearly impossible to avoid.

* In case of nonpayment the property serves as collateral.

* Land value depends mostly on public infrastructure paid with public funds - roads, subways, schools etc are all public goods that the property owner profits from via price appreciation but the general taxpayer pays for. So a linkage needs to be established. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

In the words of a famous conservative:

"Roads are made, streets are made, services are improved, electric light turns night into day, water is brought from reservoirs a hundred miles off in the mountains – and all the while the landlord sits still. Every one of those improvements is effected by the labor and cost of other people and the taxpayers. To not one of those improvements does the land monopolist, as a land monopolist, contribute, and yet by every one of them the value of his land is enhanced. He renders no service to the community, he contributes nothing to the general welfare, he contributes nothing to the process from which his own enrichment is derived ... the unearned increment on the land is reaped by the land monopolist in exact proportion, not to the service, but to the disservice done."
I would really have liked to hear some answers to this.

I work with RISC-V these days.many AI chips are using RISC-V.

A non-technical perspective about RISC-V: China is leading to some extent in RISC-V land(Sifive works with Hifive in China, Alibaba released its RISC-V,etc). China could not license x86, could not acquire MIPS, tried to get part of ARM now(the China ARM company is fighting with ARM), but the big land needs to "own" a CPU core at will desperately, RISC-V fits perfectly well.
This was announced over a year ago. Plenty of time for people to get ready or migrate voluntarily.
Lockwise has been absorbed into Firefox now. So if you don't mind installing Firefox on iOS, you can install Firefox to get the password manager, which integrates with iOS's password autofill, even to a better extent than the old Lockwise app. The old Lockwise app tended to not respond from iOS' autofill "trigger". Firefox doesn't have this problem.

Yard Stick, PBC | Remote (software) and Onsite in SF (Electrical Engineer) | Full-Time | https://www.useyardstick.com/

Hi, one of the co-founders of Yard Stick here. We help farmers get paid to fight climate change. We do so with a category-creating tool for measuring the amount of carbon that is sequestered in soil. We believe that accurate, affordable, and fast carbon measurements will fundamentally change both the economics and the legitimacy of agriculture-backed carbon credits. Done right, this will put an entire industry to work in the service of the environment. We're backed by leading climate tech investors, such as BEV and Lowercarbon, and we're looking to grow.

We have two open roles: a senior software engineer and a senior electrical engineer. I hope to hear from you!

HTML needs to really catch up already. Who tf uses checkboxes in 2021? Why isn't there an <input type="slide_toggle"> already that uses the native UI?

Do not transition to SWE thinking it will be more "interesting" or "fun". Although it appears to the outside that SWE is more interesting/fun, that's only true at junior levels, when no one expects anything out of you. If you want to progress in your career, you will have to transition to a senior engineer (needs to get things done with the least creativity possible) or management (spends all day in meetings). Every career path leads to this, even data science.
Software engineer here with a mechanical keyboard, a split design keyboard and a heavy user of a modal text editor (vim)

> Basically, they seem to enjoy exploring moderately-exotic productivity-improvement methods generally.

I’ve never considered these exotic or even moderately exotic tools, and the appeal has nothing to do with this attribute generally. These are good tools for performing the task at hand, and that is their only appeal.

> For one they're often one-handed, leaving the other hand free to use a pointing device or whatever else

To me, this is an anti-feature. I do all my work on the terminal, and generally speaking - I prefer tools that don’t need me to take my hands off a keyboard (thus the modal text editors). Two points: first, I can perform most tasks with my keyboard using muscle memory - I don’t need to look at where my mouse pointer is and navigate it to a menu button (and hope the UI hasn’t changed on me and moved the menu options around). Second, GUI applications consume a ton of resources and are slow. Nothing is faster than launching ripgrep from vim for searching for text in a moderately large source code repository.

> Two, they seem much more ergonomic than a standard keyboard - what could be more natural than grasping a keyer in any orientation that feels right?

I’m not familiar with this- I’ll take your word for it. But keep in mind that people writing code care a lot about semicolons, curly braces, parentheses, single quotes (‘), double quotes (“), all sorts of other characters (#%)?!&| etc)and the exact number of whitespaces (and tabs are extremely different from spaces!). These are used extremely frequently- depending upon the programming language, some of these are used more frequently than several common english alphabets. QWERTY works for this distribution (and DVORAK too).

A one handed keyboard that makes this wide range of characters readily available to type without requiring exotic combo-keys will require some innovations.

> three they are extremely portable which opens them up for use with laptops or HMDs.

Today, most programmers working on portable devices are making a trade off between screen real estate and portability (all other specs being equal). But even the smallest laptop that has a screen size large enough to please a programmer (say a 12” laptop display) can fit a sufficiently large qwerty keyboard. Probably if coding on an iPad or a phone becomes mainstream, there might be an opportunity to design an innovative and portable new programming keyboard. Today, that need doesn’t exist.

I've owned Minecraft on PC for over 10 years now, but this change really makes me just want to use the cracked version and switch over my Minecraft server to offline mode, just to avoid Microsoft's bullshit. Unfortunately, that would come with too many security risks, as far as my hobby server admin knowledge takes me...

At least when coding, having one hand free doesn't sound like an advantage. And generally, typing on a regular keyboard is fast enough for how fast I think, if that makes sense, i.e. typing speed is never the bottleneck really.

And I guess it's way easier to get started with a regular keyboard. I started when I was 8, and I don't think a chorded keyboard would have helped. You can go from looking at the keyboard and typing with one finger to using multiple fingers and not looking all the time to learning proper 10 fingers step by step.

Chorded Keyboards offer benefits only to very few people. Even going to Dvorak or that neo layout already takes too much effort for the vast majority, even if it might make their workflow even smoother once they master it. Qwerty is that "good enough" thing.
As a native English speaker, I don't see anything objectionable either.

The only thing I can guess at is OP thinking that mandatory means you have to do it, even if you have no interest in playing Minecraft again, but you could read the same into required if you wanted.

Or maybe they think this page is being read by kids, and not their parents, and that kids won't know what mandatory means? But you're supposed to be 13 to have an account, and I'm sure 13 year olds know the word mandatory.
I think similar to your counter-example are places/things (restaurants/products) that pretend to be fancy and through that pretense give you a worse product than if they had just cut the crap and served you what they could.

I guess it's the tourist trap kind of place generally. They may be 80% of the way there in many ways, but the other 20% consists of so many glaring issues that it ruins the whole experience.

You can do same/similar with React hooks, just not as clean or obvious.
