To close that circle, apparently parasite infection is quite high in Minas Gerais:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4964320/ > Eleven sites were selected for sampling. Cysts of Entamoeba coli were the most frequently found in this study (50%), followed by Hymenolepis diminuta eggs (27.6%), Iodamoeba butschllii cysts (5.6%), Ascaris lumbricoides eggs (5.6%), Taenia species eggs (5.6%) and hookworm eggs (5.6%). The highest positivity rates were found in the samples drawn from the cafeteria's eating table.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30050346/ > Results: A total of 216 slides were analyzed [sampled from public bus seats], of which 86 (39.8%) were positive for at least one intestinal parasite.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29972467/ > The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni in indigenous Maxakali villages, evaluating the TF-Test® performance for diagnosis compared to the Kato-Katz technique. Stool samples from 545 individuals were processed by the TF-Test® (1 sample) and Kato-Katz (1 slide). The positivity rate for S. mansoni by Kato-Katz was 45.7%. The rate by the TF-Test® was 33.2%, and 51.9% by the combined parasitological techniques. The amplitude of parasite load was 24 to 4,056 eggs per gram of feces (epg), with a geometric mean of 139 epg.

Hey, cool idea.

I didn't find it intuitive when first landing on the site. I think I need to sign up first before I get a character that can walk around?

I think it would be cool if when landing on the site I'm given a character and can walk around like a signed in user, maybe forcing me to sign up if I want to leave newbie village.
I used the QGMLWY layout by Carpalx[0] for a year or so. The site is really interesting, worth a read. Afaik they made a list of the most common trigrams (three letter combinations) then used a genetic algorithm to optimize the layout for most of the same factors listed in OP's GitHub Readme (minimizing same finger sequences, certain kinds of movement).

In the end I switched back to qwerty for 3 reasons:

1. keyboard shortcuts ending up in weird places and behaving inconsistently between programs (at least on Windows, some of them seemed to respond to the physical key rather than the letter).

1b. so for games i'd be used to WASD but WASD ended up in different places so I'd either have to remap the keys in every game, or switch to QWERTY while
using them. Same with browsers, the Ctrl+N and Ctrl+T ended up in weird places I somehow never got used to.

2. different preferences in terms of how my hands work and how comfortable each key is to access. (e.g. i'd rather move up a row than reach to the middle of the keyboard. Minor but it adds up with use.)

3. frequently switching devices. I think there was no QGMLWY support for MacOS (but I also recall rearranging my keyboard keys -- perhaps I had switched to Colemak at that point because it was built in.)

Also somewhat related, regarding programming comfort specifically, something I thought was cool is swapping the numbers and symbols in Vim, so you can access symbols without Shift. I don't use Vim but I kind of wish there was a system-wide toggle for that kind of thing. (Maybe with AutoHotKey, and then porting it to HammerSpoon or whatever the cross-platform one was called :)
Fair point although many of those who died were fully aware of the risk and took extreme risks regardless.
Thank you for highlighting this. As I fan, I hold my nose watching the sport while knowing how deep the corruption runs.
Same here, always recommend openwrt when asked for home / office routers/firewalls.
They report anonymised data that can be turned off. They also connect to servers for auto updates and safe browsing checks, everything you would expect of a modern secure browser.

> are far more representative of the general opinion of the medical and epidemiological community

But that isn't the answer to the question asked in the parent comment. The parent was wondering which media would choose guests that have a differing view from theirs. The mainstream media happened to align with the people representing the general opinion of the medical and epidemiological community, and were rarely inviting Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, or Jay Bhattacharia, who had different views.
> Finally, from experience I know the first to three months are the most difficult ones

Compared to the OP, your situation doesn’t tell you this at all. It tells you that you know for you, the first to three months are the most difficult ones.

You have no way to know what years 4-6 are like or years 8-10 or years 14-15.

The problem OP has is very different from the one a job-hopper has. You’re experiencing months 1-3 with a plan of leaving in 1 year. OP is likely thinking of months 1-3 with years 5-10 in mind.
Eh, it's kinda a cess pit. It's good for following news though.

Certainly don't follow the race weekend live threads, when sorted by new which is the default for those, it's Toxic as hell, in a lot of other threads most people repeat the same nonsense as if they don't know anything about the sport.

As you mention it's grown a huge amount since the hugely fake and misleading drive to survive which means sadly it's a lot of those clueless people that have come and it's suffered from it, constantly repeating the same nonsense narratives, i perfer just to see it as a way to aggravate news and then switch off and just enjoy the races.
The media manufactures opinion so that isn't surprising, the same can be said for the Hunter Biden laptop story, or WMD in Iraq.
> many keys you might want to use frequently are in awkward spots, like the numbers

Laptops used to handle this by having a toggleable numpad on top of the letters. That is, if you pressed a button (analogous to numlock) then the keys u/i/o would input 7/8/9, and j/k/l would input 4/5/6, etc.

I found it very convenient, but they stopped including that for some reason.
ahh yes i see.

yes that sort of information is quite vacant from these stats.
Urea production requires ammonia, and the production of ammonia produces co2 in large quantities. It's not without reason the two are almost always loacted closely
We did not eliminate pandemics. Instead, as a Society we barely made it through this one. Despite the massive human and economic cost of this latest pandemic, governments are making the same mistakes again:

- Lack of preparation.

- Not enough resources allocated to research.

- Too much reliance on Pharma and particularly
Vaccine producing companies.

The best research is still done mostly via foundations or private funding. Some of the most interesting work is still ongoing.

> The problem was FLAC wasn't patent free but claims to be not covered by any patent. That is quite a bit of difference from a legal perspective.

What is that difference? It's not like you can proove that anything is not covered by any patent without being sued by every patent holder and winning.
Ok, I changed the comment to refer to 20 hp instead of "It" (the vehicle). I just wanted to point out that something is off.
It seems likely that most, if not basically all, carbon offsets one can purchase, are fictional. Meaningful transparency, accounting, and technical validation of the efficacy seem pretty much non-existent. The physical plausibility of big enterprises becoming “carbon neutral” by being massive carbon producers but purchasing offsets to become neutral seems ludicrous. The planet’s ability to absorb gets less every day and yet somehow more and more offsetting is occurring as offsets get sold?

The thumb is strong, and the pinky finger is weak.

It would be better to use the thumb more, and not rely on the pinky finger as much.

Compared to a standard keyboard, these small keyboards typically have more keys for the thumb to access. (e.g. the planck has 2-3 per thumb). And once esc/tab/enter/backspace are used by the thumb, you don't need to use the pinky for these.

One way to use the pinky finger even less: you'd probably move away from using the pinky for Ctrl/Win/Alt modifiers, and use home-row modifiers instead.

I do think "layering vs more keys" is a trade-off and not everyone will have the same preference. But I think the advantages to using fewer keys outweigh the downsides.
The whole Ivermectin debacle was ridiculous.

I never had Covid. Or if I did, it was so mild I never noticed. So, I really have no dog in this fight. But the way the media handled this coverage was really, really off-putting.

First, if it doesn't work, just say that. "It doesn't work". "Ivermectin is not an effective treatment for Covid". That's all that was really necessary, right?

But no, there was this whole ridiculous crusade of "It's a horsey drug for horses! If you take it, that means you're a horse!". Which, after two seconds of consideration, was patently absurd. It's an extremely commonly prescribed drug for people. And there's plenty of drugs that are used for both people and animals. Ketamine. Antibiotics. We give antibiotics to horses too. So does that mean if you take antibiotics you're some whackjob taking horse drugs?

So now you have the media constantly repeating something which anyone with two brain cells can discern is a blatant lie, and they somehow wonder why people don't trust them?
A bunch of the popular PC benchmarks have never been ported to Mac, so that limits ones options - but none of these mass-market tech publications really lean into the technical aspects of hardware performance.

I generally wait till somewhere like Anandtech publishes benchmarks (which tends to take a while longer, given the more detailed testing).
Even better aspect of Moto GP, IMO, is you often get 8 or 9 different winners during a season, even when MM93 or VR46 were winning consecutive championships. This year's 1st race podium had 3 riders on it who were not amongst the top picks to podium.

Bonus: watching the aliens hit 220 MPH on 2 wheels is pretty awesome, too.
By the tone, more of a caricature.
Same, I thought it was a PDF.

This is actually an interesting approach, make the website look like a text document but enrich it with web functionalities (videos, interactions). It looks very clean/minimal and distraction-free, excellent to read/learn content like this.
"You also earn closer to US salaries."

You say this like it is a good thing. Do folks at the bottom third have to endure the same sort of poverty, earning wages their parents earned yet paying more for everything?

Oh, I'm guessing you just mean folks that are in certain fields, and that really isn't representative of US wages. Normal folks are pretty poor.

That's it's whole purpose, to get people watching that wouldn't normally watch F1.

When F1 had the idea, Amazon offered them more money, but they went with Netflix because it was more about getting eyeballs on the show so they would then come and watch the sport.

It's entirely marketing and designed to bring people into the sport, also a lot of the top teams/drivers don't provide a huge amount of access as they get in the way / give away secrets / make crap up that makes them look bad, so they focus more heavily on smaller teams and have to invent stories there to make it seem exciting.
> Surely programmers start counting from 0 and use 0 more often than 8.

So interesting that me and you are using the same argumentation for different positions of all even digits. Maybe it is just a matter of habit, for example my layout for my mother language is heavy modified for some reasons I do not want to put on debate.
If we don't eschew praising nvidia for its glorious performance, I guess we deserve that the rumored 4090 will draw 600 watts of power. Nvidia delivers what the majority wants.

This keyboard sure looks extremely nice! The price tag, though!

On the other hand, the keyboard is my main tools of trade, and the perfect solution is certainly worth a price between 250 to 400 bucks.

I would want to try the hardware before doing the investment. That could actually be a business: renting out keyboards for evaluation.
You often have to choose between fair or relevant benchmarks.
"There's a huge maintenance burden with WP sites"
I can't subscribe to this notion. WordPress can run almost unsupervised on auto update. Perhaps when you install 40 poor quality plugins things will break between updates, but with a few base plugins such as Advanced Custom Fields Pro + Custom Post Type UI you have no such problems.
> [internal parasites] can cause, among other things, diarrhoea, fatigue and weight loss. However, they only pose a graver threat if their numbers grow out of control. Such “hyper-infection”, which is often fatal, becomes far more likely if a patient is receiving corticosteroids, which both suppress the immune system and appear to make female worms more fertile. And dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is now a standard treatment for severe covid-19, because it prevents the immune system from going into overdrive and attacking the body’s own cells. [1]

The amplification effect of steroids on parasites is backed up by research on mice [2] and an informal survey of the ivermectin/covid research shows good evidence for the same effect in humans [3]

Could you add a way for people to test the product without paying you anything or providing you with any details? A section in your website where I can paste some API declaration I have laying around, and can see the docs you'll generate for me?

I really need a quick way to test whether this holds any water, and I don't want to provide you with my details to do it. If it doesn't work for my simple example, it won't work for my larger project - and I don't want to waste that time to begin with.

The best way to beat skepticism is to let people try the tech out and see for themselves that it actually works. There's too much "hotdog/not hotdog" tech in this space already.

Edit: I see there's a tiny "try free" button hiding at the bottom of the page. After clicking that, you're asked to provide your personal details. Then you're redirected to a page where you're suddenly asked to pay 20$ and sign-up with your credit card. This is pure nonsense. Enough with these dark patterns already.

There is a budget cap now, so teams have no difference in how much money they have to spend on R&D.

All cars the same would be boring and overwhelming, the sport is in large part about the teams and the engineering, the upgrades they bring and the sway between which team is the best. I watch it because I love seeing this excellence at work and i'm not even into cars, I don't drive, so i care less about that.
Been thinking about this.

For now I find linked and github to be enough.

I had some idea to make a personalized website with a blog etc.

I kind of concluded that it might generate more harm than good in this highly offended-prone environment where what ever you write might be construed as something offensive even if the intent wasnt as such and while the stuff I would write about would be focused on programming and maybe my experiences and approaches I cannot predict that in 10 years someone, somewhre might be offended that I used this wording or that when naming my variables.

I'm overblowing it of course in the above example but it still stands that there is more beenfit at being neutral and unknown ( and therefore much easily hireable) than playing the cancel roulette.

> says things like "we win as a team and lose as a team"

This is pretty common amongst teams that are on a strong winning streak. Red Bull were very much this way during Vettel's dominance years too.

Ferrari in recent years are extremely this way as well, it just presents in a different way. If a driver speaks out negatively about the team, they're shown the door pretty quickly.

Interesting to compare it to my preferred keyboard layout, BÉPO [0][1].

In Halmak, the vowels are clustered around the right hand rather than the left. Like BÉPO, the punctuation is reachable with index fingers. There is some difference with the home row consonants, but otherwise this looks like an interesting layout.

Although BÉPO is a French layout, I’ve found it works well for English – despite giving space to accented characters that are not often used in English.

F1 lived for decades (and still does, to an extent) on money provided by tobacco companies. IIRC they even raced in apartheid SouthAfrica during boycott times.
"New drivers typically also only get a dozen or so races to prove themselves..."

Unless you're a pay driver who's bringing enough money to almost wholly fund the team. Nikita Mazepin is surely one of the most talentless people to ever set foot in an F1 car, but he brought Russian Oligarch money with him so we'd have had to endure him for another season had Russia not invaded Ukraine. I'm genuinely curious to see if Haas can last the season now that they've shown him the door.

Incidentally, I believe technically we could have as many as 26 cars on the grid (13 teams), but because even being epically uncompetitive at formula 1 is ruinously expensive, and the fact that only the top 10 teams get any prize money at the end of the season, the grid has been 20 cars for a while.

While the ivermectin story is largely explained by the confounding factor of parasite presence in developing countries, it indirectly helped covid patients by curing them of other problems and thus reducing the potence of covid. Not so much in the developed countries since the parasite problem was small.

Concerning though, was the society's attitude to the Ivermectin, an safe drug prescribed by WHO in Africa en masse, established for decades, versus an experimental vaccine-like treatment with unknown side effects and never tested at scale that was to be deployed population wide.

At the time of no studies, no information and heavy panic, one of these was condemned, likened to a horse paste for conspiracy theorists, the other revered like a God's potion.

This attitude is perfectly rational for pharma companies, for which a vaccine is a better business model, with healthy 95% of the population being customers, than a drug with sick 5% being the customers. Especially for an is off-patent drug Ivermectin which is just a pain in the ass for pharma producers, with no monopoly markup on it.

The behavior is not rational for the general populace though. Once country's biggest villains, pharma companies injecting patients unknowingly with opiods, turning them into lifetime subscribers, to world's biggest saviors like a flip of a switch.

It was interesting to observe how the pandemic was progressing with a rational attitude as somebody who went through it and developed an immunity right at the beginning. It helped me understand how the minds can be overriden at scale using tactics of fear. Helps explain other dangerous ideologies that were pushed to the populations using fear.

Vaccines and Ivermectin are old news though. Who would have though that Vladimir Putin would become the world's most successful doctor and cure the world of the pandemic overnight.
