I have a Model M that's a few years older than I am. It's great, and it still works, but is not as good for long-term typing as the keyboards I've used as daily drivers.

Clicky switches are a big plus for me, since they provide the audio and tactile feedback, and are just plain fun to use. The best clicky switches (imo) are the Kailh Box types with a little spring dedicated to the sound + feel of the click, but you're never going to find those preinstalled in a keyboard because they're still considered niche.
But it wasn’t a conspiracy theory. If you look at, for example, Scott Alexander’s analysis[1] there’s 26/30 studies showing an effect.

Now, if you’re a medical doctor like he is and you spend hours poring over the studies, you can eventually conclude that they’re all flawed in various ways, and there’s not really an effect.

If you’re a layperson and you see that there’s studies published in peer-reviewed journals, but the media is telling you you’re a stupid redneck who’s just a sucker for “conspiracy theories” you’re going to figure they’re just insulting and dismissing you, as they have been consistently doing for years. When those same outlets say the claims about Ivermectin are “baseless” you’re going to wonder why those 26/30 studies don’t constitute a “base” and maybe suspect that there is something else going on.

So, at the end of the day, it is really irresponsible of any media outlet to marginalize and dismiss people, who are trying their best to make sense of a confusing and stressful situation.

I disagree. The dangerous issues are precisely the ones that need more debate. The consequences of blindly following a single push are potentially cataclysmic.

Your last statement relies on the assumption that the authorities actually know what information will save lives. I do not believe that is true.

I do believe in the reasoning and self preservation instincts of most people. The way these experts have acted shows very little respect for the sanctity of the individual.

There wasn't any real evidence for the use of Ivermectin. Some public policies were not perfect or misguided (lockdowns) some were inconsistent with both messaging and implementation (masks) some were really good and people are against them for no logical reason (vaccines, though maybe requirements are totalitarian in cases).

I think the reality is that because there are holes in the response to covid, people dismiss the whole.

Also, there's no real way for us to know what would have happened if we did nothing. Maybe another 1-2m dead - or maybe we'd be just where we are today.

i.e. the conclusion that a recession is inevitable is not the author's own, but just an argument coming from "smart people the author follows."
Yes, that is correct
I don't have the study at hand, but almost all parts of the Muslim world that do not restrict women from study have a lot of female STEM interest. I think it was Egypt that had a significant amount of women in IT, too, but I don't recall the finer details.
Yes. This.

There are some segments from a few episodes that show that Marco is demonstrably not a super great programmer. I suspect some of his server side code is horrible. But he doesn't matter because he is super strong at other stuff super focussed on solving his own problems at gets it done. You don't need to be super great at programming you just need to be tenacious.
This depends on if Apple was actually constrained by the weight of the flight or if they were constrained by the available space of the bays on the UPS plane[0]. I can’t really find a weight measurement of the iPhone X box, though (and I assume the boxes are shipped to the US packed together, and some inventory center in the US places them in the final protected packaging).

Nah, ST is going well. Jon is the mastermind behind it all, and Ben has been doing excellent work, and Tim is rounds out the ST team. On the Merge side, Dylan and David are hard at work. I think Sublime HQ is hiring in the Sydney area also.

That said, I am still contributing the community, albeit a little slower. Hoping to have a first-rate Swift syntax done in the next month or two, plus continuing to plug away on some Package Control work.

Congrats on the new role and continuing to push yourself!
Interesting.

As a long-time Next.js user, I'm deeply disappointed by the way Vercel (the company, fka Zeit) has so tightly coupled vercel (the platform / hosting service, fka 'Now') with Next.js (the framework). I absolutely loved Zeit (the company, before it was rebranded Vercel), with its amazing DX-first ecosystem. But now, to the detriment of it all, only those specific patterns of Next.js usage that align perfectly with the vercel hosting platform's opinionated approach are treated as first-class citizens. Vercel the company makes its money from vercel the hosting platform, and it employs all the Next.js maintainers. As a result, simple economic incentives have shaped the framework, making it much more rigid and limited than it'd otherwise be.

Examples include:

- proper support for "12-Factor App"-style immutable build artifacts, deployable to multiple envs (eg DEV, QA, STAGE, PERF, UAT, PROD). The way .env files are handled makes this incredibly cumbersome. Vercel only supports (local development) + (preview deploys) + (production), so for anything outside that tri-fold paradigm you're on your own.

- removal of support for custom servers

- reliance on unofficial 3rd-party serverless framework to support deployment to Lambda@Edge, and problematic or missing documentation for any non-Vercel serverless deploy target

I still think Next.js per se is pretty great*, but in my direct experience working with consulting clients to leverage it in their non-Vercel, multi-environment infrastructure, the pain points are significant and caused largely by the coupling I described.

If you embrace vercel as the hosting platform, with its specific conventions and limitations, and can accept severe vendor lock-in, then sure, it's going to be a pretty smooth ride.

*For my part, when it comes to picking a React-based framework that provides SSR / BFF, Remix.run is looking better and better all the time.
> Also, freezing the power unit formula until 2025 has evened the playing field on that front. All of the PUs have as close of parity as they have in the turbo hybrid era.

What are you talking about? There is no shortage of geniuses who advance sciences today. If anything, the scientist class is wider than ever. Also, you're proposing segregation based on vague attributes which would be horrible for children and harm society.
I believe they are stating the opposite.

If it is not your company, if you don't own a large share of it, then work your hours and switch off. Any bullshit about putting in extra work because you are in a "leadership" position is just that, bullshit to extract more value from you and transfer it to the company.

Do what you are paid for, no more, no less.
It's more TSMC achieving it than apple achieving it, and that technology will get to competitors. https://www.technopixel.org/nvidia-hopper-architecture-comes...

It's just due to apple being the biggest customer they have access 1 year earlier.
The declaration says:

"...Fusion – the same reaction that powers the sun – has the potential to be a game-changing technology to help us achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, increase energy security, and enhance U.S. technology leadership...'"

ITER [1] one of the leading scientific experiments, not a prototype, not a first commercial reactor, but just a scientific experiment, is currently already delayed. The original plan was to start in 2035.

They will have a first test phase of the soundness of the Tokamak then stop for 3 to 5 years and the experiment starts in 2035. After maybe 10 years there would be procurement and contruction ( 20 years ?) of the next step. So would be maybe 2070 or 2080, when we can see the first commercial prototype. DEMO [2]

The comes the question if they are economically viable.

Sounds like the Whitehouse needs to get another team advising them on Fusion....

Because anti-vaxxers pitched it as an alternative to vaccination, and many people listened.
Individual neurons are important. Except for Utah arrays, neuralink, and other interfaces that read individual neurons, brain scans are really fuzzy proxies that glob together the signal from millions of neurons. It's like overlaying all the text of hundreds of pages onto a single page - you might learn some valid things about pages, ink, margins, and get a good understanding about the structure of a book, but you'll never be able to read the text and know what the story is.
Outed in what way?
It's worth noting that the Nature paper abstract https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03900-w.pdf claims they're spending as little as 0.4kWh/ℓ, which is less than the 0.68kWh/ℓ of the enthalpy of vaporization, though more than the 0.34kWh/ℓ of the enthalpy of vaporization divided by the CoP of a commonplace vapor-compression heat pump. (They point out that "solar-driven cooler–condenser devices suffer from a steep loss in electric energy conversion", by which I think they mean photovoltaic panels are only about 21% efficient, so you lose 79% of your sunlight before it can start driving your compressor.) They're using a sorbent-based cycle rather than a vapor-compression cycle. I should have read this before commenting.

They cite a paper by Kim et al. that calculates the thermodynamic limits on the specific yield of atmospheric water harvesting as 5–50 ℓ/kWh (0.02–0.2 kWh/ℓ), which I suppose depends on the air temperature and humidity.
I read over the article's links now and what I said service wasn't quite right. This looks like it's based on the stub attribution technique but expands it beyond what those links describe. You can see the server side of the implementation at the links below

> The move to USB-C chargers did not "necessitate an additional purchase".

iPhones still ship with the cable. The cable is Lighting to USB-C. The previous generation of iPhone shipped with Lightning to USB-A (and including a USB-A power brick).

Therefore, to use the cable that Apple provides with the phone, an additional purchase is required, even if you have a legacy power brick.

The first year Apple switched from USB-A to USB-C was also the same year they stopped including a compatible power brick.
I see you have not had RSI yet.
I read that as "don't kill yourself for someone else's profit."
Having a tutor is superior to simply having access to all of the information in the world. The tutor acts as a guide to that information, they structure the presentation of that information to you based on your individual needs which means you can quickly speed through parts that you pick up easily while spending enough time and having a ready source of answers and guidance on problems that you have difficulty with allowing you to master them faster. Sure, someone could reach the same level of understanding with nothing but the internet and motivation but they will arrive there much, much later than someone who is actively tutored from a young age. Think of it as like acceleration to some maximum speed, the one that reaches that speed earlier will be able to go much further during the time allotted. You could see that allotted time as the lifespan of the person but age also affects performance and could result in a drop off in ability over time.

An intelligent person who is privately tutored can be performing at a college level or above when they are in their early teens. They can be at a doctoral level when they hit their twenties and then spend the entirety of their most productive years making use of their education. Compare that to our current educational track which has most people achieving their doctorate in their 30s. Performance for the average autodidact would likely be much worse.
Thanks for the help!

> Maybe the gatekeepers are doing that

The homepage of MS edge browser on my computer (set automatically, I never bothered to change the defaults) is a field of sunflowers with a comment which says it’s a national flower of Ukraine, and a link to a bing search (yeah, it’s MS after all) with the query “support people of Ukraine”.
> The misunderstandings around this drug also stem from the fact that its detractors were unhinged and anti-scientific. They were dismissing a large, obvious statistical effect without any argument.

No. The extreme pushback started after higher quality studies came out that showed there was no effect and those swayed by the initial Brazilian data wouldn’t let it go. For some segment of the population it became a magical COVID cure and any high quality studies were just big pharma ignoring cheap solutions so they could make more money.

I used to use this until I got fed-up with impedance mismatches between `pf` and the PfSense web GUI. Switched to an OpenBSD base installation a few years ago and haven't looked back.

pf.conf is very user-friendly, the BSD docs for it are great, and it's nice being able to put everything directly under source control. Diffing individual conf files is a lot prettier than those massive PFSense XMLs.
I’d be very interested to know how much licensing costs might be, given the co-dependence there is between Intel and AMD in that space
"Durable" means holds it value for later use or sale.

Creates a bubble if people aren't consuming. "diversified" is load bearing there. Invest in a range of companies that are creating persistent value, sure. Not consumable or rapidly depreciating luxuries.
If Tom Snow and his snow white friends [1][2][3] would allow brown people like you to help them decide where to direct their fire-hose of equality money we might see some actual progress. A more diverse group of doctors, scientists, and phds sounds great, but until white people let go of some of the money and "leadership positions" they're still going to be calling all the shots.

Agreed, the deployment was very easy, that was one of the reasons I wanted to switch to Cockroach from MySQL+Galera. It took me less than a day to get ansible roles to set up a Cockroach cluster, but around a week for the MySQL Galera cluster, to get it completely right. And that was starting with somebody else's Maria+Galera Ansible role.

My blocker was that I'm using it in part for Postfix maps, and the Postfix pgsql module can't be configured to us anything but LATIN-1 encoding, and Cockroach only supports UTF-8.
I've never understood why ivermectin is such a hot button issue that gets people worked up.

If someone else has a doctor that prescribes it to them, and a pharmacy that fills the prescription, that should not be a problem, right?

It's not like they are telling people they have to take ivermectin against their will.

What am I missing?
$365 for a computer keyboard is well into the vanity stage.
> You should be paid by Apple for this.

Apple pays less than $500/year to BSD developers for the millions of lines of code that they poach from them. Giving back to open source developers for doing the things they should have done in the first place isn't really "their thing" so to speak.
Yes, this is exactly how you do it, with pattern matching & guards!

I think the horse thing came from the fact that some people were actually buying the horse version of ivermectin and presumably self-medicating. There were some reports of shops restricting horse-ivermectin purchases to people who could prove they owned a horse.

The absurd response seemed to be in response to absurd behaviour, as far as I can tell.

I'm three months into colemak now, together with learning touch typing (and switching to vim as main editor).

I've managed to get up to around 50 wpm coming from 75 wpm with normal qwerty without touch typing (just 6 finger freestyle). I've still some time to go to get over my initial typing speed. A really cool thing about colemak for me is replacing caps lock with backspace, which in itself is getting rid of so much finger/hand-travel, but that can obviously also easily be hacked into qwerty as well.

To this point, I don't know if I would recommend switching to anyone for the following reasons:

- You will slowly use muscle memory of normal qwerty, which can become quite awkward whenever you forced to use another computer. It's not like you cannot type it anymore, but you will be quite slow and inaccurate when typing. However, these situation barely exists for me in everyday life.

- Learning the new layout is quite a feat that takes time and daily dedication. I decided early on to use the new layout in my job (frontend dev) which definitely speed up adoption for me but also slowed me down considerably for some days. Even then it will take quite some time to get back to your initial speed.

- Depending on your profession, typing speed may not at all be a bottle neck. This is true for me as a software developer, where you spend the most time thinking about how to solve problem before typing them in small chunks.

- Wrt touch-typing, I weirdly found out for myself that it can actually cause some wrist and hand strain rather than protect from it. To me it feels that by using a lot more muscles to type it also increases chance of wear-and-tear. This is especially true for the pinkies for me, which I never used much for typing before.

Good thing about colemak wrt keyboard shortcuts is that it only changes letters (no symbols, punctuation, etc.) and then as few letters as possible to still achieve the best finger travel. In practice that means that many shortcuts stay the same, e.g. the common ones as CTRL-Z/X/C/A/Q/W etc.

I sort of did the switch as a self-experiment after being intrigued by all the science behind optimized layouts, and also to challenge myself to learn a new skill for the new year. I wanted to learn touch typing after decades of freestyle typing which I increasingly noticed was very error-prone. I figured that learning a new keyboard layout at the same time is a very good opportunity.

Not sure if I will stick to colemak permanently but so far it's still fun to try to gradually improve on it.
There is a lot of good advice here, so I will just add: be a pleasant person to work with! It will take you far (and is generally the right thing to do anyways :) )
You've been duped. The Japanese, well at least the Japanese government did not approve it for use in COVID patients.

Too many people have let their vision become consumed by the fact that Trump was an insufferable asshole. A nuanced discussion can be had about his time in office and his actual actions, without giving undue weight to the shit that comes out of the man's mouth. Just as an example of something most democrats would applaud, he signed an executive order to keep federal unemployment assistance flowing, while congress was happy to keep bickering and holding millions of Americans hostage. I'm not trying to break down the man's presidency here, but I would say that this provided more good to the average American, in a time of great need, than anything any recent president had done.

I do feel compelled to mention the following in regard to the comparison with Bush. The man, Cheney's puppet as he was, started an illegal war that killed a few hundred thousand people. Using the intelligence apparatus to manipulate Congress and the American people, in my view, is much worse than anything Trump had done. Same with enabling the domestic spying apparatus with the Patriot Act. If that's not undermining our institutions, I don't know what is.

I guess I should preempt the obvious counter argument about Trump's allegation that the election was stolen. The Democrats did the same exact thing with Russiagate. Both in terms of the accusation and pursuing it through legal channels, all based on fictional evidence to boot.

We should not allow us to miss the bigger picture while falling for the manufacrured distraction of "my party vs their party." But rather look to understand the special interests that are amplifying our division, and benefitting from it.
