I use a tiling window manager, emacs+evil-mode, and firefox+vimperator with a keyboard.io atreus (44 keys ergonomic) and it's basically fine if you go "all in"? sometimes I have to struggle to find the layer with the F-keys spread out like a numpad on my right hand, but I don't really use them and have their features bound to shortcuts that are easier to find, and that's probably most of the reason.

I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard to do stuff like navigate text simply, pause/mute music (instead my pinky goes to the bottom of the keyboard and all the keys on the other hand change function), my software can all be driven from the "common" keybindings and modifiers like ctrl/alt/win are on my thumbs instead of being offset below my pinkies.

Importantly, i can throw it in my bag with my laptop and use it when i am traveling so there is very little context-switching that has to occur.

None of this really carries over when I boot in to windows, though, and I keep a ten-keyless keyboard around for playing video games.
Thanks for taking a look, I believe I sent you an email about the first one actually since it had been months without any updates. They did get on it and released a fix soon after, but last I heard it was rolled back and then (maybe?) re-applied. Unfortunately it is still happening, but the second issue is much more urgent for us right now.

Ok, if you disagree with the number 30 as the number of years needed to acquire that wealth, just use yearly income figures.

Assuming 60K is the average.
So, top 10% at 173K means 113K more than the median houshold. 113/10 = 11.3K extra. So, redistributing top 10% would mean 11.3K extra for 60K average. It's something but not life changing. Considering that more than 70% of million dollar lotto winner loses almost everything within a few years, I'd say an additional 11K wouldn't help people a huge amount.

And, you have to remember, this is an excerise for learning how much wealth is distributed per capita in the top. if you actually instituted anything close to these policies, total, average wages would decrease dramatically as the reduced incentive to earn more prevents people from earning more.

I entered the job market during the 2008 recession. I definitely experienced the "hired... and..now you're laid off" ~ as the saying goes "when times get tough, last to hire = first to fire". As for laying off senior folks -- I've seen this too; I've seen people who are senior by virtue of just having been there the longest (20+ years) and have had the most pay raises... but don't necessarily contribute as much value as someone who's been there 10 years and costs less. If you're senior and your boss knows* that you're contributing more value add than is reflected by your paycheck -- you won't be let go.

* This is one reason why you should be sure to convey your wins to your boss; when you have 1-on-1 conversations, be sure to highlight obstacles that you've overcome. You don't have to brag, but it's okay to be realistic - humble, but proud.
Cities cannot be supported by the farms nearby and must be located near an easy place to ship goods. That was water for most of human history, until the train happened.

Small towns happen all over because of farming reasons, but even then access to trade was a consideration, but only secondary to close to farms. (which is to say if there was good farm land far from any way to trade there will still be a town someplace - you see this more with mines as mineral often are in places that are difficult to get to by trade, while farm countries implies enough water which implies rivers)

I used Gitter for a small open-source community for several years, but we moved to Discord just because it substantially reduced friction for non-technical user support. Not necessarily the biggest issue for many software projects, but for user-facing projects it was impossible to get people to sign up for Github accounts and connect to Gitter just to ask us a question. Discord has super-low-friction onboarding that really makes it easier for people to give feedback and troubleshoot issues.

Can I hijack this thread to note that it takes nearly a year to get a response on a WooCommerce bug report?

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/28589

I ended up working with a team to build a headless API e-commerce engine to replace WooCommerce. We launched about a month after they responded. Adding our second client now.

I'd like to say this was a problem but it actually helped ensure we built a scalable reliable solution so thanks I guess.
The risk-free rate of return is generally greater than 0%, so with a large enough issuance I imagine it could be done safely. But "don't get greedy" is a commonly ignored principle.
As someone who wanted:

1) Bluetooth

2) Multi-device support/switching (3 minimum)

3) Wired-use operation as a backup

4) Mechanical switches

BUT ALSO:

5) Not to have to give a shit about my keyboard, or spend much time on it, and ideally not spend much money, either

I settled on a Keychron and it's been really good for my purposes. It's a solid keyboard for someone who wants an entirely OK mechanical keyboard for non-bank-breaking prices.

I have had exactly two problems with it, one resolved:

1) It liked to "go to sleep" way too fast, then took 3-5 seconds to wake up and reconnect. A quick look at the manual showed me how to turn that off with some magic key combos. It lasts days on a charge regardless, so it was purely an annoyance. Anyway, that's resolved.

2) The stupid l33t g4m3r d00d light patterns it can do. This was one of the most subdued mechanical keyboards I could find (WHY do so many have this crap?!), and it still has this damn "feature". You can set it to steady, low, always-on light, which is the only thing I ever want, but there's a button at the top right corner that's easy to brush by accident which causes it to cycle to the next light pattern. You then have to hit it like 20 times to get back to "stop trying to look like fucking Las Vegas" mode. I'd have paid an extra $10 to not have this "feature". Just remove the whole damn thing, set it permanently to steady-light, and keep the dim/bright keys for it only (which can also be used to turn it to zero, so, off). I manage to screw this up about once every couple weeks. It's annoying, but not enough to get me to buy a different, probably more expensive, keyboard.

They have your delivery address and phone number; it’s trivial for them to identify you uniquely. What they gain when you install an app is the ability to tie that identity to information about your responses to ads, your social media activity, your browser history, etc. Pizza Hut may not have much direct use for most of that information, but they can sell it.

You can check all of the papers of Joris van der Hoeven (https://www.texmacs.org/joris/main/publs.html) and of Massimiliano Gubinelli (https://www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/people/faculty/publications/?tx_...), and as well these lecture notes the link to which was recently posted on the TeXmacs forums https://www.jonmsterling.com/papers/sterling:2022:wg6.pdf (link to the forum post http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/sharing-some-lecture-notes-created...).
The papers of vdH you find in his website are converted from the TeXmacs format into pdf (one can find the TeXmacs sources too by each paper) and the papers of Gubinelli as far as I know are written using TeXmacs but since he puts the links to the journals there you get a version converted from the TeXmacs format into LaTeX.
Discord's developer TOS says that API users must "comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations" and adhere to a privacy policy. It doesn't otherwise put any specific restrictions on what that policy can look like. It certainly doesn't say you can only use user content if the user "individually and permanently grants a license".

If you think that Linen would be violating the user's rights, as opposed to Discord's, then that's a separate issue, and one that would probably come to a question of fair use and/or implied license.

Out of curiosity, do you also think public mailing list archives are (or should be) forbidden, by the same reasoning?

There's a weird disconnect with computers.

The software we use is 1000 times more complex than it was 20 years ago, leading to performance that really have not improved a lot, and a lot of functional stagnation. Many applications are slower to start today than they were 10 years ago, because back then they were binaries and today they are Electron apps. Your average web based word processor with cloud storage performs about the same as Microsoft Word did on Windows 3.1 on a 486 saving onto a floppy. Screens are bigger, resolutions are bigger, but the content is largely the same because the limit is human perception not technology.

If you actually keep things simple, you can build absolutely ridiculous things off modern hardware. I'm running an Internet search engine out of my living room. You could not that 20 years ago. What makes it possible is modern SSDs and the absolutely mind-boggling computing power of modern CPU.
Indeed. So many things that would have killed off our ancestors are now surviable and managable today, it seems likely to me that we are probably "de-evolving" i.e. more and more undesireable traits are surviving and being passed along to our offspring.

Comparing with REST(ful/ish) APIs...

From the consumer side I really enjoy using it. Queries can avoid lots of network chatter and mutations embrace procedural thinking (REST has answers CRUD, but not everything a server needs to do is resource based).

However, as a server dev I really don't like it. It puts much more power into the consumer's hands without providing good visibility into the database queries it's making behind the scenes and how heavy those might be.

As I see it, it trades client side complexity for some loss of control over database queries. I often see it sold as the former without mentioning the latter.
How about Fourier transform (or cosine, whichever works best), and keep data as frequency components coefficients? That’s the rough idea behind digital watermarking. It survives image transforms quite well.

When someone wants to sell a field the real estate agent will ask for copies of the forms you submitted for government insurance, and other forms of proof of that it yielded. you don't have to give this, but it is a red flag to most farmers (not all farms collect this data, they are not worth as much). Giving incorrect information is fraud.

Of course there is always information asymmetry, but farm buyers are aware of it. In most cases the buyer already lives in the area, so they know just be driving by over the years what really happens.

thanks again for your help!

the goal is conducting some first-principles analysis of cancer, nothing fancy and very likely a waste of time.

Hungary Declares State of Emergency
If all you're doing is copy/pasting and accepting tons of magic, sure they're not much different (although you left out an important (and very common) stumbling block for Java: the filename for your example must be HelloWorld.java, and there are other conventions like that that you have to know).

But what's step 2? You start learning what each line does. With C it's "this #include basically copies in some other file, and printf is a function, and functions do this ...." To understand those lines in Java you have to learn lots of OOP terms (class, object, public, private, static, etc) that are layered on top of programming. Just learning what a "function" is is kind of hard at first. By having to learn methods instead is more friction. Now that most schools teach python or javascript first the debate about "early objects" is a lot less intense because most languages don't force OOP onto you with as heavy a hand as Java.

I also very much disagree that the language doesn't make it easier. I would agree that the concepts are the same, but the bridge between abstract and concrete is the programming language you learn, and some will be more natural (aka easy) for some people.
In the interest of technical correctness, RAW files are frequently compressed and even lossily compressed. For example, Sony's RAW compression was only lossy until very recent cameras.

Given that there are the options for uncompressed, lossy compressed and lossless compressed, I'd say RAW files differ in the stage of the data processing where capture is being done and doesn't imply anything about the type of compression.

What is relevant is that the formats vary widely between manufacturers, camera lines and individual cameras, so unlike JPEG, it's really hard to create a storage service that compresses RAW files further after uploading in a meaningful way. So anything they do needs to losslessly compress the file.
Most of today's technology keeps us busy but does not make us more productive.

Productivity via the hand of technology requires a true commitment to develop technology that augments human activity rather than replace it. Since that is most certainly not what we do with modern technology, we end up with systems that poorly replace humans and provide terrible interfaces between humans and those systems. Thus, it keeps us busy but not productive.

With regard to consumer technology, it is explicitly designed to keep consumers more busy than productive. A productive consumer gets in the pool and gets out. A busy consumer gets in the pool and stays there until the skin wrinkles and still lingers.

> The spec sheet promises a battery life of 10 months (no backlight) - the Keychron K6 is fine - except that the battery life sucks, and it takes 3-4 seconds to wake up from sleep every time.

Turn off sleep. There's a key combo to do it (at least, there was on my model). It has such a small effect on battery life that I have no idea why they default to making it go to sleep like every two minutes of inactivity.

I do sometimes look at my mouse that's also bluetooth and runs on a single AA battery for months, and wonder WTF Keychron's doing wrong with power management. Oh well, at least it can work plugged-in, too. And it was cheap.
