See the specialising part is interesting to me, because I've found a lot of companies expect you to be very specialised these days, and it really gets in the way of trying new things.

I was originally in the game industry and left it because I was stuck in a hyper specialised niche (web-based game development). I went back to more general full stack, but even here a lot of companies will specifically look for people based on them having multiple years of commercial experience with their specific stack, rather than just holistic experience in the broader area.

Yea, it seems like this footprint could accommodate a 75% design. The big one is the Del key, it's quite inconvenient to have to use a key combo for such a common action. But if the design allows swapping the rotary knob for a Del key then it would be acceptable.
From [1], in 2019:

> Resident foreigners totaled 2.22 million -- an all-time high and 1.76% of the population

That doesn't compare to the UK at all, or France. There's also no point in pointing at the inflow without the outflow, as the article points out:

> The number of immigrants to Japan minus the number of people leaving the country came to 165,000, government data released Friday shows.

So, if those OECD figures you supplied are correct, the inflow was dwarfed by the outflow which again is nothing like the UK or France - as a proportion of population or as a total. I'm not surprised. As that great reference, Wikipedia writes[2] (also using OECD figures[3], and in a much better format for comparison):

> Japan receives a low number of immigrants compared to other G7 countries.[9] This is consistent with Gallup data, which shows that Japan is an exceptionally unpopular migrant destination to potential migrants, with the number of potential migrants wishing to migrate to Japan 12 times less than those who wished to migrate to the US and 3 times less than those who wished to migrate to Canada,[10] which roughly corresponds to the actual relative differences in migrant inflows between the three countries.[9] Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that Japanese immigration laws, at least toward high-skilled migrants, are relatively lenient compared to other developed countries, and that the main factor behind its low migrant inflows is because it is a highly unattractive migrant destination compared to other developed countries.[11] This is also apparent when looking at Japan's work visa programme for "specified skilled worker", which had less than 3,000 applicants, despite an annual goal of attracting 40,000 overseas workers.

“exceptionally unpopular migrant destination” eh? Again, colour me shocked.

From [4], just the title should be enough:

> Japan’s Labor Productivity Lowest in G7

but it would still be misleading because that sounds *better than the reality:

> Japan ranks twenty-first for labor productivity among the 36 nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

Japanese work culture fits the cliché very well and trying to deny it is a stretch of gigantic proportions. What some bloke you met managing to build a career in Japan has to do with Japanese work culture not being deadeningly slow and moribund, only you will know.

Oh aye, I remember the supermarket meat quality while living in Germany being variable.

Where I live now (still EU) the origin and various other traceability information has to be available, and for some reason meat quality is far higher.
I presume he's talking about Congress, and by 'deciding' he's talking about them making regulations that effectively have the US government underwrite long tail risks while leaving profits privatized for larger financial institutions.
Sadly, yes. If his goal was actually improving real-world security...well, with less than the effort level he seems to be putting into this, he could write a "config-audit" script, which would read through a FreeBSD system's config files, and make well-explained recommendations for improvements. From a quick look at the FreeBSD Ports, I doesn't see anything like that.
True, but you don’t have to watch the remakes or adaptations. One doesn’t have to run to the cinema the first day instead wait from reviews.

E.g I never watched the new Ghost In Th Shell movie because the 1995 anime is one of the most influential films I have seen as a kid and I don’t want to meddle with those memories. Similarly I skipped most movie adaptations of book I liked. There are enough great movies to choose from.
Yeah, land, like college seats, and gym memberships come in limited quantities. There is no infinite supply of land, college seats, or gym memberships. So whoever acquires a hold on a resource of this nature stands to benefit a better return on investment. Also note the limited nature of time in these things, you are basically in a race condition.

Note these extend to things like 401k, or a retirement savings scheme in the same way.

You feel like you are salty that you couldn't get a hold on such a resource in time.
In the British Army every subunit is entitled to train someone in sewing and using sewing machines so that they can repair the subunit’s clothes and webbing equipment, including in the field. It’s a very creative course and people come back able to build you all kinds of rigs and pouches and things like this from webbing and Cordura that are extremely robust. The soldiers are all super keen to get on the course and to learn to sew.
What's the point of the rotary control? How am I supossed to put it in my backpack with my laptops and books? It will end up breaking.
At least in Germany, the dispute process for bank account debits is literally clicking a single button in online banking.

No proof or even reason for this is required in the first 8 or so weeks since the charge (or more than a year if the debiting merchant does not have a "direct debit mandate", which essentially means some sort of evidence of the account holder agreeing to be debited).
Don't fancy the LOTR equivalent of "She Hulk: Attorney at Law"?

We had that in the office around 2015-16 with one certain combo of chair model + screen model, but I don't remember the specifics.

You actually had to let yourself fall into the chair though, it did not trigger when sitting down or standing up.
Why would this be any more likely than other animals?
I’ve used the HHKB for a while in the late 90’s, but in the end it wasn’t for me. Chords tend to trigger my RSI, and a reduced need for chords just means better ergonomics to me.
I very much enjoyed the [Vortex Race 3] which is 75% with all the F-keys and the home/delete/pg key cluster in a line down the right. It works really well and lets you switch between Mac/Windows button order for the CMD/Windows/ctrl buttons in the bottom left through a keyboard shortcut if I remember correctly. It comes with both colourful _and_ grey keys for the clusters! A really handsome and well thought-out keyboard if you want something nice without getting sucked into the keyboard modding rabbit-hole.

Unfortunately a friend spilled coffee on mine, and it's hard to justify buying another one at >£100. And it's often out of stock whenever I do manage to justify it to myself!

> Perhaps 1% of my day might involve the numpad but I'm not going to ditch the convenience for vanity.

I think the point is that the numpad isn't free if you use the mouse with the right hand. It takes space on your desk, between the actual keyboard and the mouse. This stresses the joints a bit more. You either have to grab the mouse way out to the right, or type with your hands to the left.

So if you only use the numpad "1% of your day", I'd say there are reasonable reasons, outside of vanity, for preferring a keyboard without the numpad.

Sure, if you mainly use the mouse and the keyboard single-handedly (say, like a gamer would), the numpad probably doesn't bother you.

I'm not particularly into "vanity shots" of my desk, but I absolutely curse the full-size keyboard whenever I have to use one.
I once heard the GS can bring the electrical grid down and in that, case it could take a lot (like months) of time to restore it.

Is that possible or is that uninformed apocalyptic propaganda ?
> It reminds me of how lawyers are happy to accept signatures by fax

The purpose of a lot of these sorts of requirements is not authentication. It's ensuring that if you do do it, you trigger the statutory requirement for some particular criminal offense. For example, a jurisdiction might have a crime of forgery which is substantially easier to prosecute than fraud (perhaps fraud would need the prosecution to prove intent to make financial gain, wheras forgery might be satisfied as soon as you can prove signature was forged -- hypothetical example, it will vary by jurisdiction and IANAL).

These sort of statues might have been written before computers or even faxes, and there might be caselaw to the effect that forging someone's signature and sending it by fax does satisfy its requirements of the offence, but none yet for just writing your name at the bottom of an email; things like that.
Tree hugger babble? Aren’t you just confirming the fintech stereotype

CVE-2022-38392 Details
It has saved me many times when the mouse failed. Especially in RDP sessions where the cursor sometimes develops an offset, ie click location is suddenly a fixed number of pixels away from the cursor tip, making it incredibly difficult to click on things.

I also use it every now and then to change things up when I feel the RSI sneaking.
Reminds me of the self-destructing record for the "perfect" record player from Gödel, Escher, Bach.
What do you think about separating author's rights from copyright? That is, separate the right to distribute copies from the right to make derivatives?
Garuda's default theme is heavy though, but unlike MATE it supports scaling options between 100% and 200% which is critical for 4k screens. I wonder if it's easy to verify if Nvidia Optimus is working for my laptop's NVIDIA GeForce MX130.
Kind of like The Last Ringbearer?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ringbearer

Not quite Sauron's POV, but close(r). I read it in translation. Pretty good premise, but once you'd absorbed that there was little left and the rest became a bit of a slog IMO.
So they included all the hardware requested by Martijn. What remains the rub here?
Google seems to be doing well with TPU without being funded by video game crowd.
The cameras are far from "the simple stuff", it's one of the more complicated systems in mobile devices with multiple high speed components from different vendors that have to work together and not very much documentation for the hardware existing.
I've been using the HHKB bluetooth keyboard as my main driver for over a year now. My feedback:

* I don't miss the arrow keys at all actually; if you haven't tried it, you could experiment with getting rid of them and seeing how you feel. That makes all "cursor move" operations consistently chorded (with the fn key, naturally).

* The HHKB allows you to connect to five devices simultaneously: 4 bluetooth devices and the USB-C connection. It allows you to switch between them with a single key chord (Fn-Control-<N>). I've found this really nice now that I'm forced to use a company laptop for my main work, as I can keep my personal laptop up and switch between them very quickly. A switch would be OK but would probably feel fiddly and annoying by comparison (and there's a risk of it wearing out if someone switches too often).

Other than that, looks like a cool addition to the solution space -- good luck and I hope it goes well!
The problem is that since direct debits are so easily reversible, in Germany they are not seen as a final form of payment (until the charge return time limit expires) as there is no form of dispute arbitration involved.

Merchants will usually not ship goods or provide services for a direct debit alone.
I feel like I just saw my first Apple ad in the 1980s. Damn! Looks great.

This is the only sensible answer in this thread.
You are using lots of words that do not mean a lot to me. It is indistinguishable from marketing-speak.

"decentralized, user innovation and privacy-first future"

Why would you want a decentralized desktop? Are you somehow referring to a syncing of files to a new desktop when you use a different machine? If so, see Windows Profiles, VNC, RDP or NoMachine. If you're somehow referring to something different, I cannot see the use-case for it. The desktop follows the concept of a desk surface in real life. When I go to work elsewhere, I have a new desk but I can put familiar things on it. I don't need the things I put on it to live in the ether above me. "Decentralized" is mubmojumbo - the data has to live somewhere. It can certainly have copies on different machines and perhaps that's what you mean by "decentralized".

My desktop under RedHat 6.2 was "privacy-first". It was even this way on my Windows 3.11 machine...

And I am able to use a volume control fine - I've been able to use one for 40 years without needing it to be "networked". I even manage to pipe audio from my Windows PC to Pulse on a Linux laptop so I can use Presonus Studio One remotely.

It seems you are inventing scenarios that are looking for problems to solve. This seems endemic in the modern software world, in an attempt to "stand out" from the crowd, in my opinion.

I am honestly very confused by your response.

Ask HN: Why don't more developers use event sourcing?
I have found event sourcing (https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html) to be extremely powerful when building applications, however in my experience CRUD seems to be much more prevalent.

Why do you think event sourcing isn't as common?
Any info about pricing?
I have been using the Keychron Q6 knob variant[0] - can totally vouch for having the knob. Having a hardware control to deal with volume that works across various DEs on Linux is so much convenient.

I can also speak about the Pine A64 LTS.

They claim that it supports eMMC booting natively. I bought 4 of each. And I bought a eMMC USB dongle to pre-liad the images.

And .... No booting off of eMMC. And utterly NO help from anyone. No guides, no nothing.

And that's hardware stuff that Pine attested would work. And it completely doesn't. I still have to boot using mSD at a whole class 10.

Their whole "plan" and company is a shit show. It's all gongkai crap. Using or buying will give you pain and suffering if anything goes even slightly wrong.
I'm considering a k1, what kind of reliability issues you're talking about?

I'm using an MX Keys with the Logitech dongle, it's slick without any lag (except sometimes when I have multiple Bluetooth connected things nearby + 20 visible Wi-Fi networks from my neighbors, then I can just make sure the dongle is closer).

But using the Bluetooth mode it's only as slick connecting to MacBooks, or to specific Wi-Fi/Bluetooth cards (AX201 is fine, The original Broadcom is shit).
I am sorry, but I strongly disagree.

The Marquee text is what catapulted the site from "This is nice" to "This is Art" for me.

But then again I am more viewing the page as a piece of performance art than an actual attempt to sell me a keyboard!
Do they though? Do we have any history of Embracer's policies and what happens to IP purchased by them? Are they "just" buying up IP/games in order to make more money by reselling the rights to use the IP? What's really going on over there?
Something useful that feels like it's worth being made, technically interersting to make (which to me generally means challenging to keep me interested), and with good quality tech practices where you can feel satisfied you've done good work. You need a good balance between "getting things done" and "doing things right".

So ideally I want something that satisfies as much of those things as possible.

I'm not necessarily blanketly against fintech or any other thing, but for example a lot of fintech will just be used to further the interest of people who are leeching the world's money and resources and increasing inequality. So I would feel bad about it.

Some fintech is genuinely innovative useful stuff though
I really like the aesthetic, both of the product and your website. One point of feedback, since you ask: the website makes it really hard to get a sense of the material. You describe it uses recycled machined aluminium for the body and some polymer, but it's really hard to get a sense of the actual hardware from the CGI renders. One thing that especially jumped out at me was that in the videos, such as this one:
https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/video/Turntable_mobile...
there appears to be some kind of film grain overlaid on the video. This makes it really difficult to assess the texture of the material.

Oh and I really like the idea of having a physical switch for multiple Bluetooth paired devices.
Automating management of Linux infrastructure with Ansible
Looks cool, hard to tell if worth considering there's no info on price.
Depending on the country, sign with a government-issued digital signature, or get a notarized signature and mail it, if strong authentication is desired. The company registries of most countries are available online, which would identify the CEO(s).
Said society has fairly simply automated self-cleaning restrooms.

It’s really not that hard, or expensive.
>How does one studio have 25 AAA games?

They have more than 100 internal game development studios and more than 12k employees

Sure. Just look at the big franchises. Pokémon, GTA, Call of Duty,
Final Fantasy, Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Monster Hunter, Tom Clancy's, Halo etc etc
Beautiful design language, great functionality and thoughtful SKUs.

Good luck with the launch/release. As someone who designs keyboards, I think the design space outside of the "core hobbyist" market is super interesting. This looks like a great keyboard that would look great on the desk of people who value aesthetics, ergonomics and good design.

I'm a big fan of your principles and the overall presentation of this project.
To be fair, you do state that you want people to be able to do bad things for themselves, but penalize them if that affects others.

That makes sense, ethically, but only if A) people are actually fully aware and accountable for the consequences of the 'bad thing' and B) the 'bad things' are side-effect free and/or the people who cause bad side effects for others can be deterred by harsh penalties - which actually only happens if the chance of getting caught is high enough.

I think A and B aren't actually feasible for most things, except some classes of drugs maybe. For A you would need such restrictions that the market will revolt or simply die off. Things like obtaining a license after doing an exam or something like that. As for B, the vast majority of bad things have unavoidable effects on others, and for some the potential for abuse calls for unreasonable policing.

In practice, I think humans function much more as a collective than they like to admit, and individual autonomy is a kind of window dressing of the status quo, rather than anything substantial. Like the fairly trivial choice for product A over product B, where they are nearly the same. But its really hard to choose to work for 3 days and accept less wealth, or something meaningful like that.

Thus, I can't really perceive a lot more freedom in the current neoliberal market than the hypothetical nanny state, especially as this so called free market is full of rules and the consequences of other peoples 'freedoms' are forced upon me.
I feel like those comments about layout are misplaced. It’s like saying “nice motorcycle you designed, but really I need a cargo van.”

> ...I recently got rejected at one job at the CV stage for "not having enough React experience" because my last job was in Vue so I wasn't technically using React in recent years (even though it's an extremely similar area of expertise)...

Ah, yes, the same old story that HR (or hiring manager) took the job description waaaay too literal, and missing the idea that a halfway decent technologist or developer can/should be able to reasonably pick up any other similar tech/stack...and as such, misseed out on a potentially good candidate. I swear that HR more than any other time in my life behaves more like robots looking to check boxes (or not checking boxes such as in your example). Or, maybe i'm just bitter because i got passed up for nice, interesting jobs in the past, where the candidates they ended up with were less qualified or left the org too soon (re-triggering the same job search again too soon)...plus, i would have stayed a lot longer, and given said orgs lots more of my passion, etc. But, no, i'm not bitter. Not bitter at all. ;-)
> Everything is crypto "web 3" bubble, fintech, or recruiters being very vague about "unicorn" startups that are just making useless services that clearly won't go anywhere.

Find a business that makes money from software, small product-owner companies are often really good to work for, preferably one that supplies/supports your local community. You can actually find that in agencies pretty often. When you've got a business providing a core value to the community and no investors, you can feel a stronger connection to where you work and the community it's in. Usually smaller bootstrapped companies have to be providing a tangible service to the community in order to survive, whereas VC can be lofty and full of non-things and hype.
OP said they don't like crypto.
