Um, yes? It's one of their marketed features: https://ergodox-ez.com/#dualfunctionkeys

Much of the point of the Ergodox is that it's completely reprogrammable, and ZSA's Oryx makes that very easy for the Ergodox EZ and Moonlander (which I've just gotten). For other keyboards running QMK the QMK Configurator makes it relatively easy too, except for macros (I also have a Hotdox Ergodox). I use the keys my thumbs sit on as space on the left and enter on the right, and holding space as shift and holding enter as control. I use the two little finger home keys (A and I in the Workman layout) as letters when tapped and layer switchers when held. Left gets me symbols and numbers, and right gets me movement, editing, and more symbols.

You can also make keys act like modifiers are held down, e.g. a single key that does shift-enter for Jupyter notebooks, or ctrl-C, ctrl-V, etc. You could probably set up a whole Emacs layer or two like that. I also use autoshift, so a long tap on a letter key gives you the capital letter (this makes held letters as modifiers a bit less convenient).

With these keyboards I never move my right little finger to the right, as doing that on normal keyboards is really damaging my right wrist (hence spending hundreds of dollars on programmable keyboards with lots of thumb keys). I've been trying similar things in software for a while with AutoHotKey and sxhkd, but concluded I needed to do it at a lower level. UInput is an option for that on Linux, but programmable hardware is better I think (just expensive).

Since getting these keyboards one and two weeks ago I've modified the layout at least once a day on average, refining it further and further. Currently it's this: https://configure.zsa.io/moonlander/layouts/xDQXL/latest/0

I’ve worked in kitchens, and this characterization favors my experience much more closely than does the author’s. In a kitchen, mistakes are costly; imagine that you have one chance to compile your code, and if it doesn’t compile, then you lose that code. In fact, I’d go almost as far to say that cooking (in a professional kitchen, where mise en place really matters) and software development are about as different as any two disciplines you can imagine - cats and dogs. The element of time, the cost & consequences of mistakes, the discipline of routine, and the nature of problem solving couldn’t be more dissimilar in these two practices. In fact, they seem different in almost every way, and I’m struggling to find a reasonable common methodology or strategic principle.
Thank you. Christ. In short: raise your child the way you would have liked to be raised yourself (not 'with loads of computer programming' - I mean this in a Rawlsian, veil-of-ignorance kinda way, supposing you are your own father, who liked, say, fishing, and tried to force it on you). That's the simple truth (ok, moral truth) that 80% of human beings seem to forget by the time they start replicating.
I think this speaks to the heart of the matter, the expectations that people want.

Yes it's beyond possible, it's clear that's the case, otherwise there wouldn't be a shortage of plumbers given they can make money to live or even raise a family on.

But the sense of expectation has grown way beyond that, everyone wants to be an actor so they spend their time on tiktok, which is a winners market, and then the leftover masses that didn't build skills or work ethic complain about having to start at the bottom of the more 'realworld' pathways available.

For most of human history people just did what made them money to live, and were glad if they have the chance to do just that. Go and spend six months in a third world country and you will see this is true.

I hope that if you do this, you only do it with an trained psychedelic therapist who you like, respect, and trust... and who provides lots of therapy before and lots of integration after.

Unfortunately there's not yet enough known about these substances to predict whether they'll work for a rare condition.. besides, everyone's different, and everyone reacts to these substances differently. They're pretty unpredictable. So it might work for you, it might not.

A lot also depends on how they're used, where, and with whom -- what's known as "set and setting". I'd recommend reading James Fadiman's Psychedelic Explorer's Guide[1] for lots of good advice on this subject.

>The actual ranging system had an accuracy of about ±1 meter

This ignores continuously changing atmospheric issues which screw with signal timing quite significantly, and is the main cause of why normal GPS is accurate to about ±10 meters but RTK GPS (where solely atmospheric errors are reduced via local knowledge) gets accuracy down to about ±0.1 meters.

I'm guessing signal propagation through space after the atmosphere is much more predictable.

The thing is, though, there is no requirement for it to be accurate, it merely has to be fed simulated stimuli that are consistent enough that the mind of the BIV does not deduce the reality of its situation. For example, the simulation of banging one's head against a wall could be somewhat or even quite inaccurate without the BIV being able to tell that it is, even if it chooses to bang its simulated head against a simulated wall.
This is similar to the recent Yale scandal, where an employee authorized to spend $10K without approval actually spent $40M on laptops.

I worked at a secondary school district, and believe me, no one is ordering a single laptop that isn't authorized, let alone millions of dollars worth. Maybe instead of hiring high-paid administrators that sit around doing nothing, they should hire an accounting staff for internal controls.

I think, in such case I would not be still alive, because Ukraine withstand Russian invasion with much help of self-organization.

BTW now Ukraine have very big troubles, because corrupted officials sabotaged implementation of NATO standards, and now, on 8th year of war, our army still using old soviet tanks/artillery/planes/etc and allies constantly repeat "we cannot give you modern tech, because you need much time, to learn how to use it".

> I remember doing a bit of spare time research into getting power from the Sahara desert when I was a school kid. The idea is obvious (...)

I'm afraid you failed to understand the point.

There is no question that Morocco has an impressive potential in solar power. Morocco's hydrogen production project is very exciting.

But that's besides the point, and not the issue being discussed.

What clearly is a bonkers idea and has no technical nor strategic justification, let alone in a national security perspective, is the UK wasting it's resources trying to get renewable sources way down in Africa, specially when there are already a wealth of projects already underway right next door.

For perspective, the Dogger bank is home for some wind farm projects which are already similar energy production capacity, such as the Dogger Bank Wind Farm.

> expect to see a lot of anhydrous ammonia long-term storage. Also, hydrogen, and liquid nitrogen.

This is wishful thinking. These are very much research projects at present.

> Also, hydrogen, and liquid nitrogen.

Hydrogen makes no sense as energy storage. The energy costs of compression (and liquefaction, if you do that), and the risks, are just silly. Liquifying and regasifiying nitrogen are energy-expensive too.

It'd be better to combine hydrogen with air-captured carbon to make medium-chain hydrocarbons. We can store those at room temperature and pressure safely for season-long periods of time, as demonstrated by hundreds of millions of motor vehicles and tens of thousands of fuel depots.

Leaks of liquid hydrocarbons are much less likely to kill people than leaks of ammonia.

Starlink powered by solar provides internet for Ukrainian Refugees on US Border
Ukrainian refugees legally crossing the US Mexico border at San Ysidro 24/7 about 500-1000 people a day needed internet to get in touch with their close ones and plan their next steps.

Video about the setup:
https://twitter.com/novaukraine/status/1517926239587037184?s...

The internet has been a number 1 question they ask once they cross the border and come to the volunteers camp as their ukrainian cellular service roaming in the U.S is either not available or too expensive. They stay at the camp for some time most of the time 50-100 people at a time, while figuring their next steps and getting help from the volunteers.

The difficulty - it is a camp so no power outlets, no landline internet access, cellular carriers T-mobile and Verizon said they don't support home internet service at this location, ATT plan is a joke - I think 10Mbps for $70. So volunteers used to be coming up with adhoc solutions like trying to share their own cell internet or getting handheld battery power hotspot device - all of which was inadequate for the load and way too expensive.

So we got a Starlink terminal, thanks to SpaceX for a quick response to this urgent need - It was shipped at 10pm and arrived the following day. Got a small just enough capacity Li-ion battery and a solar panel and got the Starlink terminal powered this way.
A more advanced router, as expected proved also to be needed, which improved the internet quality under the heavy load when there are too many devices connected and somebody would be inconsidered or unaware and would cause heavy traffic by video call or streaming etc.

Classic solar energy solution - charging the battery and powering during the day and battery powers through the night.
Starlink internet with 100-200 Mbps and about ~50W power usage most of the time with solar panel providing ~150W during the day when properly positioned.

Because there's not much to be gained from "tuning" into a 24-hour news cycle, you're much better off reading news stories after several weeks IMO. The benefit to this is that complete pictures are more likely to be formed and you waste less time "chasing" false leads.
We are two software engineers frustrated with "grooming meetings" that were one-sided and ceremonial. So, we hacked together a polling engine for asynchronous voting, satisfying the needs of our day jobs. Since then, we've seen companies adopt Groomba in different ways, and after implementing some feature requests, we realized we created something highly adaptable to many workflows.

We're offering Groomba free for your first team of users (however many people you want in a Slack channel) as we're confident Groomba can easily fit into your agile process. If not, just message us :)

I'm gonna blow your mind now:

- You can have multiple layers

- You can choose "a" to act as your control key when held down, but create a "gaming" layer that disables this feature, so you'd have your "WASD" direction keys back for the game and hold them down to move around.

- You can have a mouse layer, which mean if you hold down a key, some other keys will control your cursor. I normally use this to scroll up/down (mouse scroll buttons) wherever page up/down keys don't work.

- You can add snippets and macros to some keys to automate something you type a lot (your email for example).

- You can configure the keyboard in a way that your finger don't need to travel more than one key away from the home row.
It seems fairly straightforward to me (albeit filling in some inferred gaps): it runs configured commands when $CWD changes to a matching path/pattern.

Writing high quality docs is a challenging task, and one which many people—even if they’re quite good at it—will understandably prioritize lower than a first implementation effort as they validate idea. Which doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be impressed by the thing in it’s current state, but you certainly don’t need to call someone’s project garbage just because you’re not interested in it.

You could just… move on to something you’re more interested in. Or you could ask a question clarifying what the thing is/does. Or you could even offer constructive feedback like ‘the current README doesn’t make it clear to me what this does, a demo and a clearer explanation might help’. You even almost did that. But you undercut that message, needlessly insulting the project and potentially discouraging the human who made the effort to create it. That benefits no one.

In 2000/2001 I was offered a position at a startup who was looking to make it big in the intrusion detection and prevention space.

They handed me a contract with an IP clause that summed up to their owned any idea I came up with. This wasn't uncommon at the time, but it was more aggressive than I was used to. I made it clear to the HR person that I was actively contributing to open source tools at the time, such as snort, nessus, and also had ideas of my own that I was already working on.

The HR person made it clear that if I were to continue working on these ideas it would become property of the company -- Even if performed during my free time.

I don't remember the specifics any more, but after some discussion and escalations we came to the agreement that since my hobbies were so close to my work function that any new ideas I came up with were property of the company, so I was asked to provide a list of what I was working on and it would be amended to the contract. I provided a 4 page outline of the 4 projects I was working on and their what intellectual property they involved.

The the next day they rescinded the offer. At the time I had assumed it was because their ideas were not that novel and they wanted fresh ideas to take and profit off of. Will never know for sure, but they went out of business between 2001/2002.

Regardless how right I was, since then I was always a lot more aware of IP clauses in contracts and how they were phrased. I also try not to work for companies who sell security software.
