Intel has absolutely been lazy and literally just gave 5% performance increase per year for quite some time. When AMD was making shitty processors, Intel was just trying to squeeze as much money as possible from marginal upgrades.

You can run Windows on a Intel cpu that is 10 years old and notice hardly any difference in performance.

And on the other hand, they changed everything. Their cpus are actually innovative and really fast, and brought the entire multi core thing into consumer hands in a real way.
This feels like over fitting if it's not allowed to make basic changes like a capslock being control when held and escape when used on its own.

There's a bunch of things like that which would have a bigger impact if they could be measured but are ignored by this methodology.

I use standard Dvorak, but thumb keys are the real game changer (the Kinesis introduced me to them) so CMD keys that act as backspace and enter when used alone are good, as is using space as a shift key to get numbers and symbols.

Two keys (j+k) at once for esc and : and home row mods are other quantum leaps.

Oh and the data is from non-ortholinear keyboards, so will be skewed for non staggered keyboards.
I find tenkeyless a bit weird when 75% exists. It saves like 2-3 inches without losing any keys.
Sounds great. What did you do? How did you structure client communications to reduce this 'being on call' feeling, if I may ask.

That is something I struggle with currently. Working a full-time job and freelancing on the side as well.
No, I mean that's not relevant to compare what the hardware can do. It's like how the PS3 was super hard to program but in the end it was producing more impressive results than the Xbox360. This was not a surprising result, it was to be expected from the hardware. It's not that different from what is happening here, benchmarks running on x86 emulation on engines running compatibility layers for Metal are not representative of the hardware.

People seem to refer to this era of keyboard as the chiclet keyboard. MBPs at the time used a very similar design before the disastrous butterfly switch where user experience was a blood sacrifice at the Johnny Ive's Altar of Thinness.

I too like these keyboards, particularly the wired ones (which have a numpad), so much so that I started to hoard them when Apple stopped making them. I think I have 5 of them. 1 stopped working and it gets salvaged for keycaps now.
Have the creator thought that a Russian or a Belorussian person who use this software might are against the government or their country?

Blaming citizens who are mostly uninformed and mislead due to information control, and have little real power to change what's happening, doesn't help at all to the current situation.
> Intel really wanted to release (in my opinion) very interesting processors, but had serious problems over years with getting their 10 nm process "stable" (i.e. sufficiently high and reproducible yield rates).

Intel was just doing what they have been doing for the last 40 years - building faster x86 CPU's.

They weren't even considering something as grand for desktop/laptops as Apple was with the M1 (i.e. a fully integrated SOC).

I don't think they were twiddling their thumbs to be fair - they were probably pushing hard in the same direction they have been pushing in for the last 40 years, but failed to see the industry change under their feet.

I'm sorry about the shit that went down. It makes me mad and I'm just a user, I can't image what it feels like for someone who put years of hard work into it.

Do you or any or your former colleagues still have the energy or will to work on a real user-centric, stable, privacy-first browser for the masses? Do you think there's hope of developers potentially wanting to work on an organised fork or something along those lines?

Or have you mostly had enough and mostly want to move onto something else?
As I know there are some standards like https://www.goldstandard.org/ and https://verra.org/ . They audit the projects that claim to remove CO2 from the atmosphere worldwide and issue CO2 credits. These credits then can be sold to companies that want to offset their emissions. Usually OTC deals, sometimes involving brokers as well. There's also https://www.cblmarkets.net/ , which is one of the big marketplaces where such deals are happening.

I've heard deals with prices in the range of $0.5 to $5 per tonne CO2 equivalent. There's also a decentralized protocol that aims to move these credits onchain (https://toucan.earth/), their BCT (Base Carbon Tonne) token price is currently around $3.1.

As stated in the post, last year ~$1B worth of credits are sold. One McKinsey report expects it to be around $50B at 2030.

There are much more details of course, but these are the basics as I know.

I think you bring up really great points, and it's probably the main reason there isn't more heterogeneity. There is a nice middle ground though, in customizable keyboards with macro buttons. I have the ErgoDox which is a split keyboard with these columns of three keys on each side of the split, and a cluster of thumb buttons. Really is nifty (once you get used to it) for programming. Even simple things like having one of the thumb buttons be a macro to enter "=>" which I use heavily in JavaScript is really nice.
Some people have what they would describe a home (e.g. a tent in an encampment that they've made their own and lived in sometimes for years), but not a house (a structure with four walls and a roof built to code).

Defining someone by saying they live without a home is pejorative.

CarpalX [1] is also a keyboard modeling approach that includes typing effort and corpus loading. I would love to hear about the difference in typing effort modeling and approach for CarpalX.

CarpalX is a linear parametrized model with configurable parameters and weights for different types of strokes, so you can weigh the effort. You on the otherhand have made measurements of your hand movement. Very impressive and valuable! In the explainer [2] you mention the datasets briefly skipping over specifics:

- Are the hand-movement metrics a measurement of the center of the hand from an video-based object detector?

- Do you have individual finger detection too (doubt it is very precise due to occlusion)? My guess is relative hand movement is a good approximation of overall finger movement though.

- Any typing effort model based on this data will not be applicable to ortholinear or alternative layout boards such as a split hand (Ergodox, Corne, Moonlander or Plank).

- You briefly mention removing any manually determined effort-based objectives (like those in CarpalX) from the genetic algorithm optimization. You say they are highly similar to the purely trigram data-driven approach, but I am still very curious to see the results with these objectives included.

I am not trying to put you down though: It is still very commendable to research a better layout for the most common staggered 60% lay-out.
I have been keylogging myself for three years now and will definitely try out your approach though, looks very promising!

Does it make any difference in practice?
Yes, fortunately we've learned from that mistake and I don't think are repeating that this time around. People really are qualified to buy these days, and there just isn't enough supply of housing to go around.
That's a great suggestion actually! We'll definitely work on it and thanks for your help.
Photography is accepted as forensic evidence. Painting is not. This makes photography quite objective.

By photography I mean the act of merely taking a picture, not setting up the scene, setting the lights, directing the model or postprocessing.

As a photographer I don't even regard photography as art since you can't photograph whatever you want as opposed to painting or literature where you can depict whatever you want in any way you want.
> Replace "public domain" with "CC0" and it's a fair point. OSI hasn't approved CC0

From https://opensource.org/faq#cc-zero

> CC0 was not explicitly rejected, but the License Review Committee was unable to reach consensus that it should be approved, and Creative Commons eventually withdrew the application. The most serious of the concerns raised had to do with the effects of clause 4(a), which reads: "No ... patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document.". While many open source licenses simply do not mention patents, it is exceedingly rare for open source licenses to explicitly disclaim any conveyance of patent rights, and the Committee felt that approving such a license would set a dangerous precedent, and possibly even weaken patent infringement defenses available to users of software released under CC0.

So it's more that there are concerns and nobody has cared enough to fully resolve them to arrive at a clear answer. It's also not like the CC licenses are commonly used for software so this is not surprising.
I disagree.

Some of those old models were very successful and were very widely available, meaning that they still are today. When I wrote the Register article -- in which I said that I bought both an NC100 and a Z88 to research them, both for about £10 -- I didn't know about the (American) Alphasmart machines. Once I learned, I bought both, and while the 3000 was twice the price, that still means about £25. Easily found, widely available today.

My Dana Wireless cost more: circa £50 with shipping from the USA. Still not a lot.

This falsifies your statement that "nobody ever wanted" such things.

Your disingenuous statement that a tilted screen does not match your criteria is also false: the point here is that there's no hinge. It's one piece, robust and solid and cheap.

All 4 of the devices I have possess "typewriter-quality keyboards".

You are trying to wriggle out by splitting hairs. It's a very poor try at that.

These things are real, they were commercially successful, sold in large numbers, were very popular -- and are widely missed.

While there isn't a cheap decent-spec modern one, that's largely because commodity pricing has made laptops so very cheap now. I have done an ad-hoc feasibility study with a friend and we glumly concluded that we couldn't make one in small numbers for less than the price of a perfectly good ChromeBook.

But I submit that the DevTerm shows there is interest.
I tried that, and it is a time consuming and tedious process which I eventually failed.
That's exactly what e.g. JWST does: https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/about/orbit.html
This is really a question of the value of having a routine. Routines are a habit-forming exercise and are useful.

One thing that's often ignored in such discussions is how your habits affect other people. Chances are you're not holed up in a closet coding in a silo. You're dealing with other people. There will be varying needs fo synchronous communication. Your predictability will help other people do what they need to do.
On Android I use Firefox nightly + uBlock + Spnsorblock plugins. It works well and you get login too.
Correct. It is surely a non-linear function, but the statement "lowering interest rates makes capital cheaper" is generally true, and used as an economic lever in monetary policy.

> Yes, but if there are close to 0 games that don't require Rosetta, what's the point?

Because it's not being marketed as a gaming computer, and other use-cases aren't run under Rosetta (e.g. 3D rendering, video editing etc).

e.g. Apple's marketing doesn't claim gaming performance, it claims this:

> You can run complex particle simulations or work with massive 3D environments that were previously impossible to render. And with twice the media engine resources, M1 Ultra can support up to 18 streams of 8K ProRes 422 video playback — something no other personal computer can do.

Their marketing page doesn't even mention games...
Worth noting these have been in the wild for years. It's often used to phish for Steam accounts.

BTW, if you're using TOPT 2FA, that typically gets phished too.
I went a similar route from WordPress to jekyll. Then to Kirby v2. I dabbled with grav CMS and now am back to Kirby v3.

I can chsmge stuff in the terminal with vim or via VSCode remotely over ssh. But I can just as easily login to the admin panel and do stuff there.

What I like about Kirby for client work is that I can adapt the admin panel so easily that I can adapt it to my clients' needs and workflows.

And there is no DB in the background I need to maintain.

So I feel it always depends on use case and personal preferences in the end.

Devs happily threw users of their apps under the bus with various thirdparty spyware/malware included into websites or mobile apps they wrote.

There's no sandbox to protect the devs, though... :) So when NPM and friends will get trully weaponized in a smart way, it is going to be a real shit show.

This looks like a good time to ramp up my defenses. Some kind of package review staging area would be nice. No more pulling npm packages directly from the net, but only from a local repository which only allows to pull updates into it after a manual review of changes from upstream npm packages. Or something like that.
Right. So you admitted they have downed MH17 as well. I think so too, although there is too little evidence to make statements for sure.
I used a normal (Logitech/Microsoft) split keyboard since university, since I was scared when a student a couple of years older than me got RSI and couldn't type for weeks.

These wore out about 2 years ago, and I couldn't find a similar replacement. I bought an ErgoDash [1] instead. It has a few additional keys compared to the Iris. I have one at work and another at home, and to make them more similar to the broken keyboards I 3D printed angled bases. I use them for 99% of my typing.

I should probably have tried a Kinesis Advantage 2 first, but it seemed like too much of a jump.

I'm partway through 3D printing/assembling a Lagrange keyboard [2], which is similar to the Dactyl. I will add the F1-F12 keys to my print, as they're the only thing I miss on my ErgoDash -- if a shortcut in my IDE is Ctrl+Shift+F10, it's nice for it to be that, not Ctrl+Shift+Fn+0.

I made [3] to help others see what's available.

If you care about battery life I would say the video decode unit is much more important then the GPU. The M1 doesn't really struggle with rendering a basic DE.
He spends maybe 1% of the time talking about his apps, that really isn’t the reason.

And time is definitely money, or rather, money is time. If you already have an income stream that is more than enough for your chosen lifestyle, spending lots of time on something that might give you a tiny bit extra seems like a bad choice. Why not spend time with his family, travel, take up a hobby, or at least write an app that is just for fun. Or one that has some sort of chance of making it really really big. Obviously up to him, but still, hard to understand.
The only time I use the numpad is when I'm playing Dwarf Fortress, and that too will change after the forthcoming GUI update. I've been developing software using vi and the CLI for well over 40 years; I want my desk space back so I can move my notepad and coffee cup closer.

The problem tends to be in finding commercially-made backlit clicky keyboards without a numpad.
> it just doesn't make sense to me that anyone else would _want_ to be doing TDD or other similar methodologies. It's _so_ much more effort to do tests before code.

This statement only makes sense if you can provide figures comparing the costs of defects with the overhead of (A)TDD/BDD.

I'm not disagreeing, I'd just be genuinely interested in the true cost of forgoing TDD/BDD versus TDD/BDD. Unfortunately this would require rigorous documentation of the product lifecycle including number of defects, time to fix, losses due to defects, etc. I'm not sure there's a lot of reliable data available, though.
Layers need more thumb keys than a standard keyboard allows, in my opinion.
I believe the author intended to say that they've been using this tool "for the better part of 2 years", meaning roughly 1-2 years, not that they were using something better than it.
Does that mean they come with the ISO enter instead of the (better) ANSI enter key?
The concern is will MDN still be good in a few years now that Mozilla fired all of the professional technical writers that made MDN good and instead is going for the Wikipedia approach.

Why do they capitalise 'Indigenous' but 'white' remains without capital?
Somehow mechanical keyboard discussions often seem to forget what I consider to be the granddaddies of them all, the ibm, now unicomp model m keyboards.*

I guess it's because unicomp does almost no marketing or at least doesn't bother to get their stuff in retail stores where there tend to be racks of so-called gaming keyboards and other mechanical keyboards?

I can always know whether I pressed the key or not using a buckling spring keyboard, the same cannot be said for linear keys in my admittedly limited experience with razer yellow switches.

*Yes there is no doubt someone somewhere who has a space cadet kb or actual physical teletype still hooked up to a modern PC somewhere, but I'm talking about something that is actually available for sale on a mass scale by consumers. The model f revival exists for collectors and is functional, but is just bespoke enough to me that it's more of a collector's item than a mass product.
>>without blocking countries from the advertising/participation pool

Fine. If your country doesn't have sufficient commercial and legal infrastructure to have solid basic KYC and legal responsibility, you don't get to participate. Perhaps might provide motivation for countries to step up to the requirements of a civilized world — or not, and they can enjoy the benefits of a 'wild west' world.

This is an almost complete non-issue in practice. It sounds like an expectation someone has that hasn't actually switched to a different keyboard layout.

That does zap my story into a framework that makes sense
Beside "being able to switch from x86", there are some other factors that make this feat look easier than it actually is:

- building on the ARM architecture, which (1) saved them a lot of design costs and (2) being a simpler architecture already has a "built-in" performance advantage over x86.

- having years of experience already with the "A-series" of chips used in iPhones and iPads since 2010. Everyone is talking about "Apple silicon" now, but these predecessors are often forgotten.

- having a privileged partnership with TSMC, where they have access to the latest and best processes and priority over all other TSMC customers.

Googles Oh, they're from the London area. I didn't know that. Man, London is huge.
But they never said that that it is faster than 3090, they said it uses 60% less power for the same performance. The shady thing they did is they trimmed the plot by watts to remove full performance of 3090, which might be intentional to give wrong idea to most. But it was clear to me it doesn't have same performance as 3090.

Interesting argument: because you are hostile to a class of people (all people) which includes a subclass of people (women) then you are biased against the subclass. But doesn't that cut both ways? The authors are clearly biased against a class of people (going as far at to use the offensive term, "Jerk"), which includes a subclass of people (Jews say, I personally know at least one Jew who is a "Jerk" in this sense), conclusion, the authors are Nazis.

An integrated GPU with 64 cores? (Compare this to the 112 "cores" of the 3090) At that point the distinction makes no damn difference. The rumor mills of the speculated that AMD is going to release high performance server APUs with 32 GB HBM years ago.

Really, if you can fit the memory on top of the GPU, then there is no meaningful distinction between a discrete and integrated GPU because the fundamental difference on the PC platform is whether the iGPU uses the system DDR RAM or whether it uses dedicated GDDR RAM. That distinction really doesn't exist on Apple's M1 platform because the memory is placed directly on top of/next to the SoC.
No need to. Trees bury about half their biomass as roots. Then leaves and branches fall on the ground and bury older leaves and branches. Of course it's long and inefficient (because of fungus, bugs...) but plants do it without our input so we need to let them do their thing. Calling this process net neutral is a falsehood.

Of course it's not enough to balance human emissions. Sequestering carbon in fields, as pointed out, is a win-win solution which may do a large part in canceling emissions.
