In my case:

- a run of the mill enterprise CRUD developer? Boring run of the mill of jobs

- a run of the mill enterprise CRUD developer who can talk to customers, write documents, present to investors, train developers on best practices etc? - slightly more interesting jobs at companies where companies were looking to move to a different level of maturity.

- all of the above and experience with “cloud”? - a remote job at a FAANG specializing in “cloud application modernization” that I got without having to do the leetCode/DS&A monkey dance.
The pioneers get all the arrows.

If your goal is to maximize profit and marketshare, you don't want to be the first to do a thing. You want to be the second or third. That's where the money is.

Being a pioneer, though, is far more enjoyable.
So perhaps without these regulations, we wouldn't have tripped down the hill of factory farming so hard. I'd say that would have been a great alternative direction than the one we're now stuck in.
No shame in using Access! It's actually part of how I got my start in tech. Started with an Access database, started writing macros for it in VBA, then started writing VB.NET, then convinced a higher up to give me access to a SQL Server database.

I was in an industry with an absurd number of boilerplate forms that needed to be printed and the ability to create Access forms that automated all the manual filling out coworkers were doing felt like magic. Postgres doesn't really have an equivalent of that.
> the realization that adults have no idea what they're doing

I think that's the worst one. You grow up having to obey the "grown-ups" and not being allowed to question anything they do, then progressively realise most of them are just idiots who are running your world into a wall.
Oh thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'll have to buy a 4G feature phone then.
Seems like it'd be easier to raise taxes?
Having Home/End/PgUp/PgDn bound to the Fn key is much more convenient for me, though.

After all, you already do all other cursor manipulation with a combination of the arrow keys and Ctrl/Alt/Shift. From a muscle memory perspective, having the 'beginning/end of line' and 'previous/next page' actions as just another modifier is much more natural than having to use an entirely separate set of keys for this.
Is that why there's no "trout sushi"? Because it is fresh water? (At least that's what the SEO results on Google all say.)
Design is beautiful. At same time it has some retro styling, and it is also futuristic. It reminds me of ZX spectrum. I like the ret switch. Good luck with production! I hope that I'll see it in person one day.

Hell, I’d be willing to go back in office for an “interesting” job. The problem with the government is what they pay for probably having to live in DC. As well as the horrible sounding bureaucratic requirements and leveling.

It puts an extra key in that area, giving me one more candidate to use as Compose. (Of four laptop designs, I think I’ve used RMenu as Compose on two of them, and RAlt on the other two, which I think have RMenu as Fn+RAlt or Fn+RCtrl, one each. It depends on the positioning of Space to a considerable extent.)

While on the topic of what keys are on the keyboard and while thinking of Fn keys, I really, really, really wish that keyboards would give a key code for Fn+___ for each and every non-modifier key. It’s absurd that such a simple opportunity for good macro-capability is discarded, and you can only use Fn with the few keys (on laptops, commonly around 16–20) the manufacturer deigned to hook up (e.g. Fn+F1 as XF86AudioMute, Fn+F7 as XF86BrightnessUp, Fn+Space as PrintScreen, Fn+Left as Home, that kind of thing) and the rest are just swallowed in the keyboard firmware. How is it that as far as I can tell no one has done such an obvious and obviously useful thing?
> drop the rotary encoder, it messes up the height for packing the keyboard away

If that's really a concern the correct approach would be to make the knob low-profile.

This does not claim to be an "ergonomic" keyboard.

There is no universal definition of "interesting". You have to figure out what that word means to you, and find companies which offer such opportunities. Or just go do those interesting things on your own.
Religion as an Ego-Modulator
>sparing countless people from infections and deaths

Lumping those two categories together is a disservice to truth, and possibly health. If everyone died to whom you're referring when you talk about how "apparently we're not," then perhaps we're not good at dealing with the consequences. However, if most recovered, I'd say we are. Furthermore, the consequences of what? I'd say factory farming as opposed to drinking milk in the way it was drunk for thousands of years prior. If you're going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's best to make sure you know that the baby is indeed the problem.
It’s totally out of hand and it’s in your face, everywhere you go.
Counterpoint: I like the knob snd it‘s design, and I would definitely have multiple use cases for it.

I agree that it makes the keyboard less portable though.
Thank you!

Regarding the JSON column type - we're waiting for it to become more battle tested before introducing it in prod. So far we've been scaling by adding more compute since CH scales pretty well horizontally. One nice thing about multi-tenancy is the queries per user are generally spiky and rare. So all GraphJSON users get to share one beefy cluster instead of every user buying their own.
I recommend the extension "Group Speed Dial" to manage this neatly. https://fastaddons.com/
They smell very distinct to me as well. Just as they taste much different, they smell different in similar ways to me.

I think turkey, duck, and chicken are distinct while cooking as well. I’d have a hard time distinguishing gamey meats, though. I couldn’t tell you if it’s venison or moose, for example.

Yeah my last few job searches went a bit like that too. Sending CVs to try interesting new things gets not replies, meanwhile I get dozens of recruiters offering me well paid jobs as long as I stay in the same general areas.

It's really hard getting out of the boxes we're typecast in.

I still like programming a lot when I do it on interesting things (which are side projects really), but I haven't had interesting programming at my job in years.
> There's some things that I'm really, really good at, and lots of things that I'm mediocre, to really bad, at. I don't hide any of it.

That is a very good sign you are intelectually humble. I see the discussion here veering in many directions but in the end being humble is just being honest to yourself and others about what you know and what you don’t know. Perhaps with the capacity to empathise with people who know less and not making them feel bad for not knowing certain things.

I have mainly been using the rotary encoder for volume, yes. I have to say it does _feel_ very nice though, much more satisfying than changing volume with vol up/down media keys.

I tested out using the encoder for other things like zoom in/out but I haven't found anything where it felt more useful than volume.

In regards to the case, the aluminium case gives the device a reassuring heft. My preference would be to make it out of some % of recycled aluminium but this is proving hard to source in low volumes.

I've probably visited Beirut 20+ times over the last 7 years. Last visit was summer of 2019, so haven't been since COVID. My company has an office there.

It's one of my favorite cities in the world. It's also one of the most heartbreaking situations in economic and humanitarian terms. The country has experienced one of the worst currency crises in history, did not wether COVID well, and then had one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history go off right in the city center. Two years later, nobody has been prosecuted.

The country is in complete deadlock politically - all of the warlords from the civil war just became politicians and then systematically looted the country. There isn't much optimism that the situation will turn around, and almost everyone I know who lived there has left, accelerating an already problematic brain drain.

Beirut and Lebanon has to be one of the largest missed opportunities or what-could-have-been situations of the last 100 years.
My team and I developed a simulation platform to test out new machine learning models and logistics optimization approaches. In the process, we learned a ton about our marketplace, integrating batch and production systems, and how to accelerate innovation in the tech workplace. Hope you enjoy reading our new article with details of both why and how we did it and let us know your feedback and experiences in simulation.
The site applies (for me) a custom cursor. Presumably it failed to load the graphic for you and thus you get no cursor at all.
I suspect it's because keyboards are so personal for people who type a lot; it's very easy to see a keyboard and think, "That looks great, except that...". For me, when I see a 60% keyboard, I think, "Okay, but I want my damn separate function keys, arrow keys, and at least dedicated page up/down buttons"; when I see a 70% keyboard, I think, "Yeah, like that."

Personally, I'm typing on a Matias Mini Tactile Pro right now, and I suspect my dream keyboard would just be one of these with a design that didn't feel stuck twenty years in the past. I alternate between this and a Vortex Race 3, I think it is, with Cherry MX clears.

My biggest complaint with the Altar I isn't the layout, it's that it has no switch options, and I don't want a linear switch; that alone makes it Not For Me. (I also don't particularly like the choice to make GIANT NUMBERS; the marketing copy talks about being "typographically balanced" and I think, "But is it?") But it looks like a nice keyboard, and kudos to the designer for pulling it off.
Replying to myself, someone else said look at https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/img/layouts.jpg in a browser window and deleted their comment (?)

Anyhow, just realized: no page down, page up, home or end keys? What? No.
This strikes me as tremendously sad--how a city can go from lively, productive, and engaging to something else entirely in such a short time span. The writer speaks positively about the Beirut of today. I won't pretend to know anything about Beirut, but is it really "lovelier" (author's word) today than it was back then?

It's a cliche at this point to wonder whether the same thing can (or will?) happen in the United States, but I still found myself thinking about it nonetheless while reading the essay.

> School, friendships, relationships, reputation, responsibilities, power, expectations.... It's normal to be worried/anxious!

You say that like today's teens live in some dull high school drama. There's a loneliness epidemic, the environment is getting destroyed, money gets more concentrated each year, and house prices will be out of reach of most of today's teens for at least several decades, or possibly their whole lives. If you think all that is "the normal stress of being a teen", you're burying your head in the sand.

Calling declining mental health "normal" and attributing it to "growing up" is a patronising perspective that implies teens are too dumb to be impacted by actual political and environmental problems, or alternatively, that these problems don't exist. I think we could do with less of that and more young influence in politics.
I agree - for me I like the keyboard as a whole, but the bits that bug me are:

- the rotary encoder. I don't see what the aim of this is - what's the intended usecase?

- the font on the numbers. I feel like it should match the font used on the other keys instead, which I think I like but it's hard to tell because there's no good actual picture of the keyboard as a whole

- drop the model name on the right. I get that you've made a keyboard that is a design statement, but it would bug me as an owner. Move it to the bottom.

edit: for context, I already have a not dissimilar in terms of concept Keychron K3. That puts page up/down/home/end in that blank space on the right where you've put the model name. It does make the keyboard feel more cluttered, but I do find myself using those keys frequently.

oh, and is it backlit? I am assuming not from the specs, which is unfortunate. an understated, not too bright, white only backlight would be really nice to have on a keyboard like this.
There's the racial component as well.

For instance Spaniards (ethnic Visigoths) have near-total immunity to bad pork, whereas Jews (Jewish Diaspora, ethnic Jews) are very vulnerable.

Think of it this way: if there was a public service announcement by the early Jews, where would they write it down?

Arguably a website operator can do something about it; Vision Express can't, and nor can Apple.

The battle between copyright maximalists and the "information wants to be free" crowd won't end until there's a copyright regime that most people think is fair. I think that means that (a) all copyright expires on the authors death, or after 70 years, whivhever comes first; (b) copyright infringement is a purely civil affair; (c) copyright holders get to sue for lost royalties, which they have to demonstrate, thus suppressing actions against people whove never made a penny from infringement.

That's how it was when I was a kid, and it seemed pretty fair. All the subsequent changes have been to favour the RIAA and the MPAA, enacted by the US government, and then rammed down the throat of the rest of the world through trade agreements and so on.

> is it already possible to have your own individual 401k on top?

It is possible to open an individual traditional IRA, which is also tax-deferred, but the contribution and income limits are worse than the 401k. A person can have both a 401k and a IRA at the same time, too, so if you don't have an employer that offers a 401k plan then you just miss out and there's no way to replace it.

> Does the US have an equivalent of the TFSA?

I think that would be a Roth IRA, which holds after-tax contributions and allows tax-free withdrawals. It's nice, but it also has low contribution limit and income limits. However, there are games you can play with to get money into a Roth like backdoor conversions, or rollovers from a 401k on years with low income.

> in dividends each year, you gotta pay 25% tax

Yeah that's harsh. In the US you normally pay long term capital gains tax on dividends, which is based on income and maxes out at 20%. If your total income is less than 80k, the rate is 0%.
The number is for FP64 double precision terraflops. For vector operations, not matrix operations as well.

Double precision is important for a lot of simulation codes because of numerical issues. For Deep learning applications it's basically unused, single precision or half precision formats dominate training. The same numerical issues don't show up, so this is a lot more efficient.

Additionally a lot of the 'AI' flops are achieved through matrix cores, fitting Deep learning the workload well. This brings an A100 from only 17 to ~200 tflops.

> But can a 10-node-iphone-cluster really match an A100 for pure flops?!

The iphone number is probably fp32 if not lower precision. However the combined SoCs of 10 iphones have tripple the transistor count and a larger chip area among them. So the comparison is not totally off.
"The Mom Test"[^0] is an excellent and short book about how to conduct those talks that I can highly recommend. It teaches you how to truly listen, and not bias the person you're interviewing.

Two points that stuck with me:

- Humans are bad at estimating, so make your questions very concrete. Don't ask "How often do you look up recipes on your iPad", but rather "How often did you use your iPad for recipes last week?".

- Nobody likes telling somebody else that their baby is ugly. Show the prototypes at the end of the interview, once you learned everything about the problem they had to tell you. If you show them your solution too early, you'll bias them.

Lebanon became independent in 1945. Civil war began in 1975, largely as a result of radical Islamist Palestinians who had left Palestine and wanted an Islamic state in Lebanon.
Lebanon beforehand, it is important to note, was not Muslim majority at all. It was Christian and Druze, and that was the very foundation of the country itself. It was never the country of Muslims in the first place.

Iran was also never colonised by European countries. Its decline began with both theocratic rule as well as sanctions, but even despite this it’s still remarkably functional and developed in comparison to a ton of countries that weren’t put in such a position.
