I hate this trend of endless franchises. I understand the risk factor of new, untested stories for something as expensive as a movie or video game, but christ it’s as dull as it is disheartening to see everything spun out to complete saturation.

Not to mention that, when you keep something going forever, it will eventually turn to shit. I dislike long running TV shows for the same reason: give me two or three seasons of your best, not six seasons where I’m questioning why I’m still watching between the premiere and finale of each.
The biggest problem is you deny yourself the process of attaining true humility if you put up a “act as if” facade of being humble. It’s a falsehood, what you mean to say is you are being non-confrontational.

There is a process in attaining humility, you cannot just adorn yourself in it from the start.
I hate the aesthetic of your webpage. Don't change my cursor. It's incredibly distracting. The text is way too large and makes scrolling a pain. It's an extremely irritating page.
Also your Contact page directs to nowhere on your About page.

Maybe it's a deliberate decision to filter only for people who are really interested in a keyboard like this, but I wouldn't buy a product from someone who has made the website design choices that you have.
Can you cite this quote in its original language? I'd be interested to read it.
Google translate gives me:
"نتيجة الكثير من التواضع هي أن ينتهي بك الأمر بالاستماع إلى مشورة شخص متوسط المستوى."
And "%" to search in your open tabs.
I also use @wikipedia or @amazon quite often.
Not quite what this article said:

The patients were given a dose of dostarlimab every three weeks for six months. After that, per the original plan, they would be given standard chemoradiotherapy and surgery if their tumors still could be detected. But remarkably, the treatment alone seemed to wholly eradicate their cancer
In theory that's true, but in practice the people at the top deciding what's profitable aren't working for maximising public good, so it doesn't work anymore
Actually governments used to do this. Universities being free and all. Yes companies can sell and distribute the products, but the government/universities retain the IP/patents.
I agree with you that the Legendarium is worthy of respect and that it's even sacred to a degree. I also found the Hobbit movies disappointing. That said:

> Amazon's upcoming show does away with the Elvish languages

This is not accurate.

> In the first of five planned seasons for The Rings of Power, the show makes heavy use of Elvish, Dwarvish, and Orcish, in addition to English flavored with British and Irish palettes.

The show has a dialect coach:

> the established appearance of the universe.

Is this about the brown-skinned male Elf and the brown-skinned and beardless female Dwarf? This horse has been beaten to death and back on YouTube and Reddit, and the consensus is that it's fine and faithful to the texts.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow
Every business has external threats that you have no control over. Is it really sensible to give up "$8600/month * how long Airtable take to implement the feature" due to that concern, or should you move fast and execute to maximize the time you're making that money?
I don't recall hearing of (non-opensource) proprietary code being shown in an interview. Is that common in some circles?

In a startup, I think I'd have to get an NDA from everyone, even if the code was mindless bulk glue code -- if only to avoid having to later mention that practice to investors who are checking our IP diligence.

Would the following alternative work for you?

In a great engineering environment, people will give sincere answers to questions, or tell you when they can't tell you (because they don't know, or because of business-related conflicts). What about just asking them what their code is like, and see whether their answer sounds like they know what they're talking about, such that that they could give you an accurate answer.

Variation: if they know what they're talking about, but they misrepresented it intentionally, that's a really bad sign from an engineer. And hiring engineers under false pretenses would be a bad idea, as would setting precedent for engineers in that organization intentionally misrepresenting technical information to each other. (That doesn't mean that a dumb organization wouldn't establish an internal culture of dishonesty anyway, but you'll have to filter out the self-destructive and the scammers some other way.)
Personally I am using GoodLinks: I am most of the time on mobile and it has good support for iPhone and iPad. You can add custom tag, mark link as ‘read’ when bookmarking. Simple but does what I need.

Not related to the developer, just a happy user.
“Just asking questions” != curiosity
Wait what? Only FreeBSD gives you ZFS on your boot/OS drive? What about OpenBSD / NetBSD / DragonflyBSD etc.?

EDIT: I love it that I get downvoted for asking a question. Seriously people, get a grip.
Now make it split.

It has two BT connections, so each half can use one connection.

Then it will be my dream keyboard.
Unpopular opinion: trying to synthesize a language designed to run on a CPU into logic gates tends to produce terrible results, and we would be far better served by building better HDLs instead (e.g. Chisel).

(The commercial ASIC design world is very conservative, with some good reasons and some bad, and tends not to use either advance, preferring the VHDL/Verilog of our ancestors)
If you want fame, status or power -> certainly don't be humble.

If you want truth, understanding or science discoveries -> be very humble (intellectually).
Yes, the flat icons for Google products are indistinguishable from each other now.

The other fad is tonnes of whitespace in UIs and no edges so you're just staring at a white light all day. This is widespread on Windows 10 + 11 (see the Settings app) and on recent macos.
Until they create their own I guess
I’m probably an outlier in tech because I’ve never enjoyed any Tolkien. My father tried to interest me in The Hobbit and the only thing I found interesting was the runes. Lord of the Rings was just tedious. I never cared for any of the characters and the story seemed pedestrian.
Honestly comments like this really depress me. Maybe consider why you immediately have knee jerk thoughts about why this is bad or hypocritical and negative and reflect on that
ISO keys, awesome. I wish ISO layouts can be more common, I grew up using ABNT (pt-BR) layouts, I got used to US-intl + altgr, but I dearly miss the big enter key.

I'm a US layout MX Keys owner right now, so the key caps minimal profile is awesome for me. Definitely miss the big enter from ISO layouts.

Don't care about the num pad like my accountant wife does, but the full size arrows and del/insert I do care.

home/end/pgup/pgdn I can live with a combo using the arrow keys.
Also New Zealand and Australia, NZ is life+50, Australia now has life+70 but it wasn't retroactive so Tolkien's works are life+50 there too.
This is probably the most extensive response to the faddish seed-oil claims:

https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-...

The conclusions is:

"In conclusion, vegetable oils appear to be a health-promoting addition to the diet, and seem to offer a range of health benefits and little to no apparent health risks to the general population. However, one should exercise caution when navigating the current food environment, as vegetable oils are included in many foods that are not particularly health-promoting. If one chooses to consume vegetable oils, it would probably be wise to integrate them into a healthy eating pattern in ways that do not promote the overconsumption of calories. Some possible healthy ways to include vegetable oils in the diet could be in the form of salad dressings or as cooking oils for sauteed vegetables."
Agree 100%, and I’ve recorded hundreds of songs myself. I’m not against singing, but it’s not something I generally walk around doing anymore (in private) unless I’m going through a heavy music phase. And I would never do it in public, even if you’re good at it that’s incredibly obnoxious and annoying.
Would be better if the usb connection was recessed so the plug body wasn’t sticking out like that and the cable could flex better. Would love an option totally without wireless.

I like the idea of a high quality compact keyboard.
He had/did the perfect combination:

- right place at the right time (almost certainly a factor here)

- actually building and releasing something

- promoting it, letting the world know about him/it

These success stories are really nice, but it's important to recognize that it usually takes all three of these key elements to be successful.

Obviously if you don't do anything, you cannot get success. But if you do something, and the timing or market is wrong, you may not get much or any success. And if you do something but never make an effort to let the world know, then you may get a little growth but not real success.

We can't control the market timing so much, mainly because we can't accurately predict the future. With some research, maybe we can improve on this, but it's still no guarantee.

So, the best policy is to just stay in forward motion. Built a thing, promote it, and repeat. Maybe with 5 things in current operation, one of them catches.
As long it doesn’t take more than 10-15 minutes to saunter over to work in your bunny flip flop, underwear, dress shirt, and tie, that’s ideal duration time.

Oh, and a coffee mug in hand too.
Scarface?
Who are the people at the top? How do they “decide” revenue minus expenses?

Are you claiming there is widespread fraud in SEC filings?

If you are referring to many industries becoming controlled by a handful of large organizations, then people working in trading and finance have nothing to do with that. That is in the political arena.
Shouting at disks is also a bad idea: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4
Surely you realize project development meta-data is far far more important and valuable than actual software development. How are managers going to fill excel sheets and make bar charts for powerpoint slide decks to show off their management prowess without it?
> and without a dedicated Menu key [0], for any kind of serious work.

I'll bite; how useful is the Menu key really? Is there something in your workflow that is benefitted by having it? Totally agree with Home/End/Insert/Delete being required on any keyboard I use.
What's a good reference for this? I see it said a lot but are there a few good case studies around to explain it out?
Stock manipulation isn't really a "well paying job" though. The person making money isn't drawing a salary.

The key insight that explains the situation is that we pay based on how easy it is to replace someone. If you are doing a critical job that everyone can do (like cooking) then it is unlikely to pay well. There has been little success by systems that pay people based on how important their job is.
Drug patents have 20 years from the time of invention, but getting FDA approval takes 10 years after invention so that really only leaves you with a 10 year monopoly.

I think people are under the impression that the government is giving like 75% of the funding for drug development. It’s more like 1%. Getting FDA approval is a very arduous and expensive process. If you want to build an insulin factory, you’re looking at 8-10 years and $100 million to prove to the government that your insulin is safe to use. [1] That’s just for making generic insulin. Developing a new drug from scratch and getting it approved is orders of magnitude harder. A 6 month monopoly wouldn’t be close enough to recoup your costs.

They also bought Tripwire (killing floor) and Limited Run Games (physical copies of digital games) and a few others. Joining the already many acquisitions they had.

Slowly Embracer are becoming a behemot with a monopoly on the Indie/A/AA sector of gaming and nobody knows anything about them. People are afraid of what the Microsoft/Activision sale means for gaming and FTC is probing and what not, but nobody is looking at Embracer.

I wonder how that'll go.
That's really cool!

Anyone knows if there's a way to have this feature in Joplin[0] ?

I run a subreddit on mobile ergonomics ( http://reddit.com/r/ergomobilecomputers/ ) and spent the past year using raised tablet PC as my only machine, and curating the smaller subset of portable keyboard & computer setups. My advice:

- drop the rotary encoder, it messes up the height for packing the keyboard away.

- a 75% layout (i.e. having fn keys) is okay, but makes it a bit challenging to fit in with a 13" tablet footprint with a magic Trackpad.

- What ergonomic job does this design serve? After a year of using a similar keyboard (Nuphy F1) I find myself seeking ergonomic improvement from a split keyboard or angling (like the Atreus) without becoming too odd of a layout.

- If you're doing a custom design, can you use smaller keys somehow to facilitate room for ergonomics (angled split) while retaining a minimal design? See https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/v0g89d... for some inspiration .

- I like the simple black look! Similar to you I just want a fairly simple look, but focus more on ergonomics.
It doesn’t run a service, it just modifies the user’s login scripts to start byobu/tmux on login, just like yours.
Because they're curious. Curiosity is what this whole website is about. What's your problem?
>> A new tool has been added to provide insight into the way that loading dependencies contribute to the load time of a package.

That doesn't sound like an improvement to the dependencies loading... Which for me happens every time I change a struct and must reload Julia (which happens a lot when I'm prototyping code, which is what I do 90% of the time)...
Okay, you can call it a messaging service then. I don't think spending time on nomenclature is worthwhile; and "email service on the blockchain" would be clear enough for most :)
As I said in another comment:

> You can pre-order the book on Amazon. It’s like a PETA selling furs to support their anti-fur campaign.
Ahh I was hoping for a trackpoint. Though i like the profile.
Where's the shame in taking credit for an action that he took himself? Yes, both Trump and Obama did things on this front. But Biden is the one who got it done.
The first reaction in my heart was sadness at this news, complete with many of the thoughts you shared here.

But look at it another way - we were lucky enough to experience it before all of the blooming enhancements.

Also, as annoyed as I also am, it means that even more people will gain familiarity with the general mythology, which is a good thing.

Mythology grows when it is adapted, modified, reimagined, and altered, often imbuing it with fresh vitality and cultural relevance. Consider how many variations are represented in nearly every Ancient Greek myth. I, for one, am delighted that Tolkien's work has risen to the level of myth, and not contained to only his own creative project.

Despite my deep love of Tolkien's work, I do not intend to watch a minute of the new stuff. I wish them luck!
I can buy a house here in Tokyo but it doesn’t make sense for me to. Partially because housing is a bad investment here and rents are very affordable (which is exactly the point of OP), and partially because I expect that my needs in my current situation will differ greatly from my future needs and don’t personally want to take on the burden of managing properties at this time to compensate for that.
I see the mention of "Page Heatmaps" and "Free". Aren't the heatmaps available only in their paid plan?
I first read "Embraer" and think wtf!
And even more so in Japan.

But that's just culture/language. In the US, saying that you are good at something is expected, in other countries, you pass the same message just by just saying you do the thing. In these countries, if you say that you are good at something, it is the equivalent of saying "I am a fucking god and no one can approach me" in the US, it is just rude.
China rises to first place in most cited papers
It's not uncommon in Europe, with the clause that it's a home you live in.
This terrifies me. The build to rent sector is absolutely exploding here in the UK.

I literally just watched a video on the Pine64 Pro and the reviewer basically said he couldn't recommend it.
UT: C++20 μ(micro)/Unit Testing Framework
Are you searching for high-end (not necessarily custom) mechanical keyboards? I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a keyboard more than $100 or so that didn't support an ISO layout.
(Founder here)

That's definitely the biggest risk to the business (other than competition).

Airtable seem committed to being a platform that third-party developers can build businesses on, in the same way Shopify are. So I think (hope) they'd acquire me, rather than just cloning it, to maintain their reputation as a platform. But they definitely could do this and it's pretty scary!

For now, my strategy is to try and grow to $350k+ ARR and diversify the profits into index funds etc. I also have a couple of other micro-saas ideas that aren't platform-dependent that I'll launch in the next couple of years.
The A100 is not optimised for pure ieee-754 FP throughput it seems but for more specialised forms of FP and bandwidth.

Yes, but it's still not close to the total aggregated costs of delivery of services. Suburbs are REALLY inefficient and expensive.
Awesome project. The site is a bit hard to read with the text being so big and all over the place.

Also, I am not a big fan of the red knob.
How does one studio have 25 AAA games? Are there even 25 AAA games in existence? Maybe I have a different definition of that.
This is great. I think the $20 ask for the shorts pattern is a bit high since already made shorts can be bought for twice that. I wish the patterns were free and all revenue could come from affiliate marketing commissions from the fabric/materials suppliers.
I don't know, if you're going to start a new product company with a 'mission', it's not a bad debut to offer just a single product that embodies that mission.

This keyboard definitely has it's own style. I'm not sure I agree with it all, actually I don't, but it seems to know what it wants to be.
Entering TOTP codes, bank accounts, spreadsheeting is much more convenient on a 3x3 grid than a row of numbers. It's also nice to have a +- button in the rightmost column.
Tillis bill to restore software patents in the US
I would like a full keyboard that has the numeric keyboard on the left side.

That way, my mouse would be closer to the action.

I have no idea why this is not a common option.

I use the numeric keyboard only for a couple of games that use it to control the camera, and that's pretty much it.

Otherwise, the numeric keyboard just uses desktop space and causes my mouse to be further away from my hand, when typing.

I went through a phase of getting "Eat Grub" edible cricket snacks. Feeling somewhat regretful. Stupid trendy bugs.
Interesting downside of human psychology/market dynamics, if many want to help others e.g. as nurses or teachers, that positive trait is punished financially due to the high number of applicants
That’s fascinating. What a bizarre tightrope the producers of the Amazon show have to walk: You can use the LotR appendices but not the Silmarillion!

I respect the wishes of the Tolkien estate, but it’s a shame that even the “perfect” team wouldn’t have a chance to put their vision of any of those stories on screen.
More Website advice:

- the text is too big
- Add padding to text and images
- Add space between elements (look crowded)
- too much moving stuff: Loose the marquee text

Pictures and videos looks awesome, the product looks superb, love the concept of having different height for keys. Congratulations on your launch!
I had been looking at an electronic soldering iron they had produced. Not sure how I feel now.
I've asked to peruse source code in interviews and some companies have complied. Never hurts to ask.

I usually just throw out the idea to let my interviewer share their screen and navigate the codebase while I ask questions. This way, we don't have to fiddle with repository access and I can get a glimpse of their organizational culture.
In the case of Harry Potter (as a series) that's intentional though.
Shadow of Mordor was pretty great. But executives seem to be swayed too much by people who wish to make yet another Marvel movie with a political message pushing values that were adopted by the majority back in the '70s.

There are many, many stories that can be written both in the past of Tolkien's trilogy (i.e. adapt the Silmarillion and other myths), or in the future - how does the Shire develop? What about the kingdoms of men? You can have an entire A Song of Ice and Fire epic about the intrigues between kingdoms after the elves leave. Or a much smaller adventure about hobbits from Bagend going where they shouldn't - trespassing in Tom Bombadil's domain, searching for treasure, with most of them dying for really pissing off old Tom, delivering the message that nature should be respected, as it is not evil, nor good, but simply exists for itself.

Or check out the highest rated fanfiction, pay the author a few hundred thousand and adapt that. It will be cheaper and safer than trying to turn Middle Earth into something it is not.
I applaud the initiative, shipping software is hard enough, can’t imagine how much harder manufacturing and shipping actual atoms is.
At the very least, the numeric keyboard should be in the center, so the symmetry is not broken.
This is much more credible than saying that the laptop would "crash".

During XP era all HDDs already had some builtin error correction. Unless the "song" was affecting the electronics rather than the mechanical parts (which is not impossible but much more unlikely), the only effect the user of the laptop would see is an increase in the correctable read error rate (since it's also highly unlikely that the song would prevent the head from ever reading the correct value 100% of the time), and perhaps a delay due to a retry (which would then always read the correct value, again because of the previous reason).

There is literally nothing else at all either. It is kinda short poem and that is all.
On a mechanical keyboard you can take the key caps off for easy cleaning. Though I just dust my keyboard and it's pretty clean.
Thoughts:

- Excellent job

- The font choices are bold. They don’t appeal to me personally, but nice job.

- The sunk/raised key caps look nice but I’m not sure how they would perform in practice.

- I couldn’t tell from the website what the second switch on the site does. Maybe USB/Bluetooth?

- My strong preference is a key command for switching from Bluetooth/USB, and that the keyboard keep both active for instant switching. The only keyboard I’ve found that does this well is the micropython-based M60.

- I’m not a fan of the look of the dial. It sticks up too far and looks like something that could break.
