I do. When my fingers are resting on a laptop keyboard (actually any not-split keyboard), left pinky is on `q` and left index is on `v`, right index rests on `n`, right pinky between `;`, `p` and `[`. This is much closer to a neutral wrist position, and I curl my fingers while extending the index fingers to place all eight on the home keys. Left thumb is higher than the right, to hit the space bar.

I hit the touch bar by accident most frequently when typing parentheses, since I try not to twist my wrists at all, so I'm curling my left pinky for Shift and moving my whole palm up very slightly for the 9 key, or doing a weird chord for Shift-0 all on the right hand (a habit I'm trying to train myself out of, along with a few stubborn glyph sequences where I type 'y' with my left index).

I'm on the last Intel touchbar-having MacBook I'll ever own, and vowed to never own two of the butterfly keyboards, which they fixed before I left the platform, so Apple is fixing its mistakes juuuust fast enough to not lose me. The only people I've ever heard speak up for the Touch Bar do a lot of photo editing while traveling.

Added: the biggest failure of the touch bar wasn't accidental presses, but the lack of a haptic engine to confirm that it recognizes presses. In fact I'm sure this would reduce accidental hits, because fingers are very sensitive and need that kind of feedback to know they've moved wrong. When I hit play accidentally going for a ), which is The Worst, it's several keystrokes later that my brain realizes I triggered a 'button'.

Conversely, when I am trying to interact with the damned thing, I have to give it my undivided visual attention, and I'm often trying to look at something my own finger is occluding for feedback.

Haptic engine. How did this product ever ship without a Taptic™ engine. Apple makes the best haptic feedback in existence! Make sure you've worn the Watch for at least a week if you want to debate this. I'll never understand that decision, and we'll never know if the touch bar could have worked.
This article describes modulo as a possible strategy for sharding/partitioning a DBMS.

While modulo (along with random allocation) has an instructional value as an introduction to partitioning, it's best followed by a warning when it comes rebalancing: it violates a basic requirement for most partitioning schemes (with the exception of distributed partitioned logs), that is, rebalancing better move as few items as possible.
For some reason on Android there's a Google Chat app, but Google tries to shuttle you into using Chat from within the GMail app for whatever reason.
My theory is that people have been trained and rewarded for being “not wrong”. Strategy requires you to take a stance and get specific. Sometimes the strategy will not work.

I think we need to do a better job of encouraging this sort of thinking. I don’t remember where I heard but it was something along the lines of “we tell kids they can be whatever they want and then actively discourage them when they take the necessary steps to do those things by operating outside the box”. So this type of thinking becomes normal. Then when it comes to strategize people try to follow “best practices” and “proven techniques” which is kind of the opposite of strategy.
I was making 190k CAD as an intermediate (3 YOE) dev at a FAANG while I was based in Vancouver, recently transferred to a SDE2 (intermediate still, 3 YOE) at a large unicorn in the US, now at 260k USD remote in the US.
That's not true either. We're talking about normal use. You can stand near an engine thats not running, just like you can live in a building with asbestos or lead. How about lead pipes, that's normal use and exposure at one point in time. Asbestos used to be much more common than it is today, with no idea that it was dangerous. People would commonly come into contact with it when remodeling.

In any case, under normal conditions, nobody is going to choose realilistic exposure levels of lead or asbestos over ambient diesel fumes.

I see most tendency towards fascism coming from the ultra-progressives of late. The conformance to groupthink and the shutting down of speech which 'offends' and 'othering' of people is not something to take lightly.

Not that I'm excusing the far right, they do it too but not so broadly.

The bigger problem I see really is the pointing of fingers at 'the other team' as the fascists, rather than addressing it and working against it wherever it appears.

Everyone has rights or no one has rights.
Let's just say I've talked with people who have worked with him on comma.ai and... I heard his cars would be driving into everything if it were just his code running them without all the safety features the folks around him added.

geohot isn't dumb, but he's also extremely good at making himself look like a lone genius, all the while he heavily relies on those around him. This has been a pattern his entire career. He started out pretty clueless and relying on others; these days he's pretty good but still relies on others, and at no point did he learn to humble himself a bit and credit everyone else.

I personally experienced this when we gave a presentation on Sony's PS3 ECDSA screwup, and a week later he posted the root keys obtained using our method. I had to email him to ask him to give us credit since he literally just implemented what we described in our talk, and made no mention of it. Then Sony sued us all (my name was on the lawsuit next to his, even though I had nothing to do with his idea of posting the keys outright).

The reality is "lone geniuses" don't exist. I'm pretty good at what I do (and I also have 15-hour coding marathon live streams on YouTube, FWIW), but to accomplish something great you have to work with others, whether you give them credit or not. The major projects I've worked on aren't "my" projects (even those which I lead/led); they've all been a team effort.
Of Japan's population of roughly 127 million, about 118 million of them live in urban/suburban areas.

Hosei University, where this researcher is from, is in Tokyo.

So in absolute terms the statement that "The majority of Japanese people sleep in beds" is certainly correct. In context of the article, where it is being claimed that sleeping on a futon on top of a tatami mat is preparation for sleeping on the floor (and really, it isn't, but we'll ignore that), it is also valid. The majority of the Japanese populace in Japan sleeps on beds, and this researcher likely does as well.

From anecdotal experience, most modern homes I have been in in Japan have only one, if any, tatami rooms. They are not used as bedrooms, except perhaps in the 'family having a sleepover in the tatami room' sort of fashion. Modern apartments seem to have none.

If you're cutting off someones phone service, you could at least try to call them/send a SMS before, instead of just an email. Just like if you cut off someones email service, you'd expect at least one email before that happens.
Improving Vimeo’s policy on video bandwidth
Yes, just like autism.
No. Firstly -march (or similar, e.g. -mcpu in LLVM land) should target a chip not individual instruction sets.

Secondly, AVX-512 alone has a handful of different extensions. There are a bunch of different SSE variants, and similarly instructions are still being added to the VEX prefix (normal AVX).

There is more potentially for getting it wrong with riscv but 64 bit implies a number of extensions too so it's too far off what amd64 originally meant for X86 (e.g. implies SSE2)

It's unfortunate the author approached this with so much bias, of which I'd make an educated guess based on rhetoric, stems largely from ingesting media of only one slant. Would have been an interesting read if objective.

"The question was whether diesel could plausibly be “the next asbestos/lead” and the answer is yes, absolutely."

If you mean by perception only, then sure. These three things have existed together for a long time. If you eliminate the two more dangerous ones, then the remaining less dangerous/acute one will be next in priority and get the attention.

Remember when Kubrik went into space and eschewed a traditional sci-fi soundtrack of theremins playing in locrian mode in favour of classical compositions by one Strauss or another? Science fiction movies, at least, were changed forever and in a good way. Ground was broken.

The Dune soundtrack evoked the middle east but leveraged cliches to do so. It was good music and an enjoyable listen but not ground breaking and if people associate wailing voices and heavy bass synth glissandos with desert scenes in future, it will only be because many movies have done that before Dune. Sticking to tried-and-true ups the grosses.
Nice work!

Tell HN: Dynadot has a complete domain outage since yesterday 22pm EST
I host about 20 domains with Dynadot, all went dark since last night 22pm EST. Tech support says "error is on their site and they are fixing it". Any ideas how long can "fixing DNS resolving" in 2022 can take?

In my opinion 10 hours is totally unacceptable. My revenue lost will be in tens of thousands of dollars... let alone a nightmare to deal with customer support on a few B2B sites I host I will have to carry on once we are back online...

They don't say anything on their site, whether blog or forum... but you can see people reporting since last night: https://updownradar.com/status/dynadot.com#why

You can flip the "being offended" coin around and see its individuals with no resilience. Dissent makes them uncomfortable, so they form self-affirming groups and fight the others.

This whole situation also makes sense, people dont "learn" resilience when they live a easy life, and life in the western world has been very easy and comfortable for the last 20-30 years.
Japan were on the other side in WWII and all, but nothing in TFA and nothing I've seen elsewhere constitutes a convincing argument that they were practicing "fascism". Nationalism, monarchism, traditionalism, colonialism, imperialism? Sure, all of that, both in the early part of 20c and in Mishima's attempt to revive that era. There was never the violence against the social order that has been an important aspect of all fascism, from 1920s Italy onward. Fascists are not ideologically coherent enough to do more than pretend to care about "tradition" etc. Their enemies are in the present. Confusing this issue benefits fascists and harms the rest of us.
Wow, I didn't know that.

When you said whistle blower, I initially thought of workplace whistle blower.
I don't know that law, but do whistle-blowers get a cut of the fine? Otherwise this is a rather far fetched comparison, no?
Both the article and actual law explicitly deal with that in fairly open and agreeable way.

I won't disagree with slippery slope arguments but again I feel a lot of discussion is based on title and not the law.
I wager less upset but more polarized. While filter bubble is a term coined in the social media age, these news stations make for some of the easiest ways to create them IRL. one person of "authority", with complete, uncontested control on how to frame the news, typically gathering like minds who want to listen to it.

At least comment sections challenging a news piece gives some avenue for the audience to consider other angles to the story. I may not agree with every comment here on how they interpret this bill, but it gives me a wider look on the issue than if I listened only to LATime's take on it.

I set up my wife's elderly parents in Japan with Hangouts years ago so we could video call them by actually.. you know.. hitting the 'call' button to ring their computer. This worked seamlessly for years with no effort on their part. When the computer 'rang' they knew to click answer. After hearing that hangouts was going away (what is it like 3 times that's been delayed?) I moved them to Google Chat but boy was that a mistake. You cannot 'ring' the other caller anymore and have to set up a meeting for each call. Or you have to set up a perpetual meeting which they can always go in to.
This has caused us to miss many video calls and constant frustration for my wife trying to explain to them how to use that function. Why in the world does Google remove features in new solutions when they deprecate an old one? Can't they simply make a list of things that work in the old app and check them off in the new one? I realize zoom is all trendy now but geez...

> On the other hand, as a Christian, I'm accustomed to thinking a lot about eternal destiny and how things will end up in an ultimate sense. For me, the idea of no God existing opens up a yawning chasm of eternal emptiness I find frightening to imagine -- it would mean when I die, there's nothing more for me; and when we all die and no humans are left, that'll be it for all of us. At that point, will anything that transpired previously matter at all?
I suppose for those who consciously or subconsciously know they're guilty of sin, the idea of annihilation is far preferable to facing judgment for their sins in the past, so I can see how atheism would be an attractive option, ultimate meaninglessness notwithstanding.

But that’s the thing, you’re completely failing to understand how a non-believer (speaking for myself) feels about there not being an afterlife. What you’ve said is not in any way how I feel - I die, but the actions and efforts and (hopefully) descendants I put out there go in to hopefully contribute positively, in this magical thing we call life; and even in still there, the bits of me continuing to be recycled in the universe. As someone who has had many psychedelic experiences my non-believer side still has a spiritual axis to it; I can’t believe we all get to walk into a place where everyone who’s ever died is cutting around alive again; and Jesus and some older dude who created the universe sit at the head of the table, but that doesn’t have to be true in order for a life to have meaning, and it’s a failure of imagination (and really, and I don’t mean this to belittle your faith, but ultimately an indoctrinated fear - you use the word yourself - that is- ‘frightening yawning chasm of emptiness’) to believe that unless that is the way it pans out then everything is pointless and people are subconsciously compensating or blocking out that fear because they’re sinners.
I work at an SEC regulated place and hate my job. I'll keep this in mind!
The extra expense is not the generation of the overflow bit, but the infrastructure needed to support a flags register, or for every instruction to be able to generate an exception.

On a simple processor like a microcontroller this doesn't cost much, but it's severely hampers a superscalar or out of order processor, as it can't work out very easily which instructions can be run in parallel or out of order.

The clean solution from a micro architectural point of view would be to have an overflow bit (or whatever flags you wanted) in every integer register. But that's an expense most don't want to pay.

Elementary's problem is it has two inexperienced founders who aren't negotiating with each other very well, I'd hardly call it a meltdown, nor particularly relevant to the examples in this article.

The entrepreneur in me will never understand this problem: "programmer creates world famous software used by Microsoft and NASA and doesn't make any money and is burning out from all the work."

Here are your solutions:

1) If the users want support, charge them for it. Split the proceeds with someone who will actually do the support. If it's still too much work, raise the price.

2) If the users want features, charge them money to put those features on your roadmap. If they're asking for features you don't want to add, just raise the price or say no until they go away.

Here is what will happen when you ask for money: people you don't want to deal with will disappear. Also you'll have more money, and you will work less.

Do you need to think about business a bit somewhere in there, sure, but probably a lot less than most people think. The "business side" for the Grunt guy could probably be "register an LLC online then get an Upwork account and let them handle the other shit like your payments and tax forms for 5%." Yes, fucking Upwork.

I’ve been using Gmail for about 15 years now, with the chat widget on the left active most of that time. For years, before mobile messaging became ubiquitous, it was my main communication channel with friends.

The widget has changed over the years, getting less and less handy and intuitive, for no apparent reason.

I would say that I’m an advanced user, to say the least, and I still have no idea what is the difference between Gtalk, Hangouts, Meet, and Chat (which is apparently the newest?).

What a mess.

> I could get Fi notifications and check voicemail online.

I used to do that as well, and still have Google Fi, but aggravatingly, all its integrated features fell victim to Google's butchering of messaging services. You can no longer get or send SMS via hangouts, and can no longer get voicemail notifications online: both appear to require that you be actively connected to mobile service, like every other provider.

Considering that these were major selling points, it's particularly annoying that they just disappeared.
Thank you for these blog posts. One thing that isn't immediately clear to me is how one should start a new open source library (before there is any traction) to be prepared for this structure of maintainership.

For example, I'm already a freelance developer with (my countries equivalent of) an LLC and I send invoices to my clients for my work. I'm also in the process of writing a few libraries in the mobile/desktop/web shared-code space that I want to release as open source. Should I just mention this on the projects Github and website properties? A simple "contact me for an invoice" link and process the invoices/payments manually? Is there a platform a la Github sponsors/Patreon that is compatible with this workflow?
>some businesses don't even have websites anymore.

I think that opens a differnet discussion altogether. Yelp can be considered a "social media". It's a website where users provide content (in this case, reviews) with some various algorithms made to encourage businesses to play ball to get high visibility. but I doubt any of the proposals discussed here would affect Yelp. Kids sure as heck aren't concerned with ratings over businesses they often can't pay for.

So would it be bad if a company lacked a website and relied on Yelp, whose goal isn't the same as Instagram's?
