Yep, that's wood. Some shipped from US even. Can't make this up.
Syntax only distinguished by a relative order doesn't sound robust to me. In contemporary languages keyword arguments are a thing exactly because of that.

Marginally related example: many wiki syntaxes had a link syntax similar to `[[foo|bar]]`, where `foo` and `bar` can be either a label or a target and the order wildly varied across softwares---later lightweight markup languages had their lessons and used a different syntax for a label and a target (e.g. Markdown `[label](target)`).
My bet is on sailing ships in the 16th-18th centuries.

They could reach up to around half a million miles per galleon.

Your take is brilliant, and it's still regrettable people like this actually exist in real life.
I assumed it was in honour of Bletchley Park.
I don’t (in Italy). Since I’m a bit forward looking and exactly one years ago (August 2021) I switched my electrical and gas contracts to fixed prices (for 4 years, another 3). So I’m paying the same as one year ago. Obviously I’m always thinking about saving for others, but I don’t necessarily need it!

Funny thing is that one year ago always was saying me “a fixed price will cost you more, font do it”. Now I’m laughing, there were all the signals of the rising of energy prices.
I agree with a lot of this, in terms of the polarization and tribalism, which is often the result. Unfortunately, there is little that can be usually done, except use other programming languages (which are more agreeable) or fork/make your own.
I'm actually fine with this, it easily lets me avoid irritating snobs that I was never going to be friends with anyway. :-)

Although I admit that I've excluded people from group chats because they don't use Signal messenger, although not because of any snobbiness, but because of the lack of feature support, and because I HATE the way iPhones do "<name> reacted to <ENTIRE TEXT MESSAGE QUOTED>" type crap.

Almost like we'd all be better off with a nice open standard (and not the crappy RCS either)...

I was previously using split staggered ergo keyboards before I switched to the Kinesis Advantage 2. I feel like ortholinear (well columnar staggered or whatever technically) is an improvement. Not as much as thumb clusters/full programmability though. One place where it is super nice is using uiojklm,. as a number pad. With staggered that just feels SUPER weird. I did also stuff a Japanese in my Thinkpad to get extra thumb keys and as close to the layout I'm using on the Kinesis as possible (thanks to software like keyd/kmonad making layering an option) so I do have some comparison there.
Unfortunately those free standing units create a pressure differential and you will see all your hot air pushed outside. The split units use a fluid line to the outside to exchange temperature, so you would need one of those.
True. I've been reading about CMS/headless CMS on reddit especially /r/webdev for the last 2 years. Not authentic at all. Even if it is, reddit population seems to be very outsider (can't find word to replace "newbie"), though it also depends on particular sub. /r/asianbeauty is quite authentic but lots of products aren't there, they seem to have discovery problem. Thus, reddit is good for market research where you wanted to read/hear newbie opinion (the mass).
Also to Churchill. Are you saying it is fine to talk about good things, but not bad things, in a person's make up & history? Do you feel that is particularly just/balanced/other? Balance comes from truth and acknowledging nuance, not cherry-picking either way.
No, many can't. Yes, you can live and survive at colder temperatures, but concentration requires no distractions, and the constant slight pain caused by being cold is enough distraction to completely derail any train of thought.
Fail too see why the fact it's a line would prevent redundancy.
Do buildings have only one elevator ?

No idea how it will end up, and outside of the problem of the location, at least it's an urban area envisioned around high density, public transport and walking.

Not a suburban hellhole where you can't move without a car and where infrastructure push municipality into bankruptcy.

> No, each member state votes about their own portion of seats. So Germany and France decides for everyone.

Seats in the European Parliament are apportioned based on population (with some rounding to allow a maximum of 751 MEPs), so it is about as close to democratic as possible. Also, France and Germany have ~24% of the total seats, how exactly are they deciding for everyone?
My adoptive father was an LEO who spent most of his 40+ year long career between the Bay Area and Alabama. He had plenty of stories to tell about the Moonies. He spent 10 years as basically the right hand man and enforcer for the police chief in a very well know southern city. He would literally run folks out of town on the request of the chief and/or the mayor. Sometimes he'd use violence and other times he'd use intel.

Mostly harmless stuff like running out the Dixie Mafia when they setup up porn shops or illegal gambling dens. He spent 3 years under cover in the KKK and helped ruin their credibility in the Central Alabama area.

And then some questionable stuff like breaking into a Nation of Islam church and spending multiple days camped out in their attic until he was able to take photos of the leader of that church engaging in extra marital affairs with the wives of church members. He used those photos to cause quite a bit of mayhem and violence amongst the church members until the church was no more.

But his most interesting story is when he claims to have discovered (I have never been able to verify this like I have the other stories) that the Moonies from Europe had their passports withheld and then those passports were sent to Korea in order to get their operatives into the country.

I have no idea if that was true, but every single time we saw someone selling a flower somewhere he would share that story.
fwiw s/gorilla/guerrilla/
So it was a hoax 2 years ago. Now we have studies for that. But media still wont talk about it. Instead our government plans to distribute 4th dose in spring because they already bough 17 milion doses for 10 milion people. From Pfizer with unknown prices and hidden contracts. In time of inflation caused by lockdowns and energy crisis. I'm not surprised that people are on streets, despise the government and do not trust any traditional media.
My office is in fact the smallest room, just enough for a table, a chair and my homelab (a bunch of rPIs, some network equipment, a few servers).

All the electronics keep the room relatively warm, so most of the heating is actually turned off in that room :)

UX gaps? Are you talking about android? The UX is highly inconsistent in vanilla android let alone across apps…
CST trackballs use a billiard ball sized trackball which seems silly until you try it for a while. Super smooth and smaller movement to get a lot more travel.

Honestly though I consider mice and trackballs a crutch and really only for design work or gaming.

I ditched a mouse at my last office entirely favoring mouse emulation mode on the ergodox, a tiling window manager like i3, and the keyboard driven qutebrowser.

Allow as many Face-ID registration as there is users ?

TBH I’m not sure what you see as an issue, and why it couldn’t be the same secure enclave management as on the MBP with touch-ID.
I love how Apple basically eliminated competition from competitors selling $20 headphones (oh no…you have to deal with a couple of wires…something Apple itself used as the signature motif in its ad campaigns for the iPods for a decade), so they could sell you the same thing for about 10 times the price (sure it has a slight convenience benefit but not everyone cares for it that much) and Apple’s fans will tie themselves into knots to explain how this is a good thing, as opposed to having both, so those who want to spend 10x for the convenience of no wires can do so and those who are happy buying cheap $10 earbuds from their local convenience store’s checkout counter display can also do so.
I'd learned Dvorak years before trying these keyboards. (Eventually gave up, probably by not making the effort to switch the layout back from US).

One minor benefit: the nice thing about external keyboards is the OS layout can be US layout, and you don't have to worry about switching the OS settings.

IMO, being familiar with Dvorak means ortho is an easy transition, since your fingers will already follow a column-discipline. (Whereas, my QWERTY remain hunt & peck; I use ortho with Dvorak, qwerty with row-stagger).

I'd say ortho almost universally goes with with "multiple thumb keys" (2-3 each). This helps a lot with "reduce pinky finger usage, increase thumb usage", since you can move the backspace, enter, escape, tab keys to within reach of the thumb, alongside space. -- Thumb keys also allow for layering, to reduce hand movement from home row.

I think the advantages of asymmetric row-stagger are availability/cost, and its history as the typical keyboard layout. -- If you don't need to share your keyboard with anyone, and can afford a keyboard with straight columns, ortho is nice.
What am I mistaken about? Do you know how it increased 5 fold in the last 10-years? Because it's easy to have lots of growth when your numbers are small. Also, the tech has improved.

And again, you're talking 10-years. To solve this issue you need multiple decades.

You seem to be talking about the past 10-years, while I'm saying for that the problem we've got of being dependent on fossil fuels which has been developed over the past 100+ years. 30-years or so ago. Solar for example wasn't that good. Hydro was a concern and expensive. So while, we have been making good strides in the past 10-years, there is 100+ years of stuff you need to combat. The past 10-years proves the future, but, it doesn't automatically undo the past nor does it remove the fact that renewable energy when it first came out was inefficent.
This is a good idea. Also you can do things like use a radiative electric heat dish and point it at a high backed chair to create a little heat bubble in a room and not heat the whole room.
The PDFs are a couple of GB every year - I could limit that further by putting more aggressive filtering in place. There is also a rule that copies the contents of image and PDF URLs verbatim without converting them.

Over time I'm going to extend all of this to a more fully-fledged "sousveillance" dataset. I would love to add health and location data, but alas Apple is such a walled garden. But I did add a note-taking system, Zettelkasten-style.
The article dances around a topic that is very relevant across technology companies- toxic metrics.

I worked for many years at a company that prides itself on being metrics driven. To the point that they celebrated having many significant figures after the decimal point when measuring length of negative events in seconds.

The good side of metrics driven culture is that having a metric gives you a concrete goal.

The downside is that really good metrics are often very hard. By really good, I mean metrics that measure the desired outcome.

It’s much easier to measure, for example, how many operation X your service performed, rather than the value the service delivered to your business or your customers. So we assume that each operation X contributes a uniform, positive quantum to those outcomes and we count X’s.

The medical industry is huge and has thousands of areas where programmers are employed. This page is good overview (though probably incomplete) from the point of view of the API's involved:

https://www.softermii.com/blog/healthcare-apis-for-medical-s...

So look at your skills and see where you fit in. This could range from medical imagery management, to billing, to electronic health records, to data exchange between facilities, to disease tracking, to personal health management, to embedded programming for medical devices, to wearable sensors, cellphone apps, addiction treatment apps, mental health apps, and many more. Be aware that many changes are afoot in medicine; for example changes in perception of the importance of privacy, changes in how medical care is billed (the USA is ripe for this), changes in laws, advances in sensors and machine learning, etc. Some of those changes could open up opportunities because huge software changes may be required, some may close off opportunities (e.g., if the USA moved to single payer then billing software may become much less important, or say most cancers became curable, then much of the software related to current care may become obsolete.) An area like electronic health records is probably going to be around for a long time. Also be aware that a lot of the current software can be archaic (ever write code in MUMPS for a VAX 11/780?) You may not have to work directly with it, but you might have to work with interfaces to it or with code ported from archaic systems.

Medicine resisted computerization for a long time, and has only recently been dragged kicking and screaming into using computers. Doctors are treated as gods and usually the software has to adapt to their needs rather than the other way around which can greatly increase complexity because the software will require a more human-like interface. Clinicians WILL try to bypass your authentication systems or have them removed because it "interferes with their work-flow" or "endangers patients" even if it is really just their own inconvenience they are concerned about, though in some cases they will be right. Software has to adapt often as well because medicine changes; you might need to quickly add new fields to a pulldown menu because research/companies have created new diagnosis or treatment options and have a new backend in place to handle those new options (for example, new kinds of imagery, machine learning analysis outputs, or data from a new kind of medical scanner).

GE Healthcare is a big player worldwide, though there are others (Philips for example). See what jobs they are advertising. Once you find a job that interests you search again in reverse to find out what companies offer that kind of job and where.

Edit: fixed formatting.
How is your insulation? If you want to live with something slightly dangerous, one candle is about 80 watts of heat, and enough of them will heat a room. Moist air heats better than dry air, so be mindful of the humidity and maybe add a humidifier. Not one of the ultrasonic ones, they are garbage -- especially if you have hard water. You want an evaporative one with a wick and fan(s).

With that being said, it's easier to heat yourself than it is to heat the living space, so bundle up!

Let's first have that surplus, and then we can discuss how to use it.

During my service in the Israeli army I had the pleasure of working with various Bedouin trackers. It was the closest experience to what working with a wizard would be. They would look at something where you see nothing, and tell whole stories.

Too bad we were all too tired to actually spend more time asking questions and learning from them.

I also heard the legend of a person who installed backward soles on their shoes so it would fool the trackers thinking they’re going the other way, but the weight distribution gave this trick away as the tracks looked odd to them.
> only complaint i have is that there's not yet another enveloping row of keys across the top and down the outer sides of each half

I second this. Although, I find this is mitigated fairly well by having extra layers. But I would really love an additional row above the number row.
you can at least attempt it, via NLP, etc. it's still DOM at the end of the day.
Note for anybody reading: don’t actually do this if possible, it’s bad for cardiovascular health [1].

Marketing firms are already aware of this and they use what is called "organic" marketing. This means the accounts will post all over the website generically so it seems at a glance to be an actual person. I imagine it can still be detected with some kind of heuristic, but its a classic arms race between spam and detecting spam.

Show HN: I made an IDE plugin for AWS Lambda local dev, debugging and hot-reload
MerLoc (https://github.com/thundra-io/merloc) is a live AWS Lambda function development and debugging tool. MerLoc allows you to run AWS Lambda functions on your local while they are still part of a flow in the AWS cloud remote and improves your productivity by applying your local changes to the function without need to build, package and re-deploy.

For making MerLoc experience easier and smoother, I have published an IntelliJ IDEA plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/19836-merloc--aws-lambd...). So IntelliJ IDEA users can develop, debug and hot-reload their Java based AWS Lambda functions from their local IDEs easily with MerLoc.
The threat model is that B has no way of knowing if she is actually being tracked (or if she could potentially be), or if A has just made empty threats. By coercion - or by manipulating the setting on his own on B's phone without A knowing -, A could prevent her from finding out that she could be tracked by someone.
> Solar panels in Northern Europe provide plenty of energy.

For ~9 months of the year. For winter you need some other form of production that you can turn on at demand.

For example a panel in Helsinki produces less than 1% of its nominal output in the darkest months of winter.

edit: Just go and look at https://www.fingrid.fi/en/electricity-market-information/sol... if you check December of 2021 you can see that the avg output was ~2MWh/h with solar 395MW of capacity installed at the end of 2021.
While Gas heating may be rationed, I doubt electricity as a whole will be so:

- Move to more energy efficient dwellings

- Get good insulating windows

- Get an AC/heat pump

- Substitute old appliances with more modern and efficient ones

- Get an induction stove, much more efficient than a gas stove

- Thermal clothing does wonder.

- You can easily sleep in a cold room if your bed is properly insulated, if you are still cold consider heating your bed with an electric heater.

- If you take frequent showers/baths, consider doing some of them with cold water (which has a lot of health/cognitive benefits btw), for baths you can easily install a filtering/reflow device like the one used for small pool, insulate the bathtub, for showers simply use less hot water / less water in general.

- Almost all EU states should have programs in place to ease these sort of upgrades
Alternatively, some may prefer a basic safe haven from all the chaos out there, because their temperaments make too much rapid change intolerable.

Past a certain point, this sort of neurodivergence can be severely detrimental for no good reason, but I do understand why sometimes people accept a non-optimal situation for a while just to have some stability and simplify their lives.
> But somehow the USA comes up with the the first vaccines for the coronavirus and if you want any sort of complex procedure you travel to the US to get it

This isn't true, the US didn't make the first vaccines, it was created by a German company that partnered with Pfizer for trials/production/distribution[0]. People more often travel outside the US for care, we actually have the second highest amount of people leaving their home country for medical care[1], with the top destinations being in South America [1a].

> creates good to better health outcomes on average vs the rest of the world

This would be nice if true, but we spend more and still have worse outcomes in almost every area[2]. The only things I could actually find that are better here is post-op sepsis and 30-day heart attack survival, but in just about every other area it's more dangerous to get care in the US.

There often is a renewable energy surplus at night (wind /hydro) and more recently even around noon, thanks to solar. And renewables are constantly expanding.

The whole problem with renewables is the temporal variation and lack of large scale storage.

Producing hydrogen (and potentially converting that into more traditional gasses) is a perfectly viable solution, but of course such infrastructure can only be stood up over years and decades. It's not relevant for this winter.
Japan is a strange place. Polls show very low trust in the government, but the LDP has been in power since WWII almost continuously. A low faction of Japanese people claim to "believe in God" but Japanese participate in religious rituals at a high rate.

Abe was controversial because he wanted to amend Japan's pacifist contribution which is a huge can of worms. Because Japan is so culturally homogeneous I think they'd have a very easy time picking an outgroup to blame for problems.
