So, this is on the stack overflow blog. And Joel Spolsky famously thinks that to rewrite a codebase from scratch is the "single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make" [1].

I wonder if this is how you end up being a Perl user in 2022.

The new 360 has layering. I use the Kinesis Advantage 2 and I'm not quite sure, I don't think so. Both have a good manual on the website if you want to read about all the features.

There is a way to hack in an open source firmware on the Kinesis Adv2. It's called the stapelberg mod. It has layers and even RGB led to indicate layer.
For some people it can be, just list writing, that is the point Bukowski is trying to make.
Even if the tree takes “only” 15 years to replace, that’s still a long time. That’s someone’s entire childhood. It’s definitely worth giving proper consideration to its removal.

Say you have ten business ideas you really like, that you think could be successful. You realize there is some luck involved, and that you aren’t going to be as good enough at each idea as you’d like to be, or that you simply won’t figure out how to interest enough people even if you’re really good at making the product. So you keep trying your ideas until one works out.

I'm talking about currently living people not some historical figure who tried to blow up government buildings. Political rivals. Irish flags burning, hell even EU flags and Palestinian flags. They're professional hate trolls. It's fairly sad to see but let's call a spade a spade here.

The majority of the nice people of the UK don't follow or even understand them.

I haven't even mentioned their parades.

Ireland has similar groups but they're tiny and mostly ignored.
I mean, you have entire governments, the United Nations, Wikipedia, Mozilla, Burning Man, some universities, many schools and museums and libraries... capitalism is just one way to motivate workers.

I don't know where you got this weird idea of begging for money every two years. Nonprofits can and do make money from products and services, and they can pay it out in salaries or executive compensation. What they can't do is pay shareholders or VCs. Their revenue can be reinvested in themselves or in some fund, just not paid as "profit" to investors.

A significant amount of tech compensation is in equity. It means Patreon would have to offer a lot more in cash to match the same total compensation as other firms.

It’s advertised to have only 36 hours of battery life (probably less in real conditions) much less than a Garmin version, focus on a tiny touchscreen instead of physical buttons, locked into the walled garden, too expensive. It’s a pass.
On "getting that compensation", are there other ways to financially bootstrap a company and give "future payoff" to investors and early employees without requiring IPO/acquisition? What do the balance sheets and end of year accounts look like for a non-profit? What happens if they generate surplus profit? Can the CEO and director simply pocket it too avoid "making profit"? Or must they reinvest in the company? Or pay dividends to original investors? Or give it to charity? Burn it in a pile?
The above push in the article also made most other commercial ketchups go extinct, and few people bottle homemade sauces today for their own use.

But also, the taste. Heinz ketchup is a universe away from, say, a Vietnamese fish sauce. (Worcestershire is another sauce in the same vein.) Americans are much more liberal with sweet, thick ketchup than with anything fermented and sour.

I'm not a lawyer, but I imagine:

It really does probably start with the kindness of the initial benefactor - or as an in-house job until such time as the "profits" exceeded the founder's "wages" and then they could hire more people and have a reserve of X years of current employees' wages to handle the ups and downs.

It would likely need to start from someone that either has a primary job, or is independently wealthy, though, and then that person would need to remain at the company because AFAIK (I'm not a lawyer), you cannot pay a "board" at a non-profit.

Dactyl manuform is an good alternative to ergodox and Kinesis advantage.

Disclosure I run a small store that sells dactyl keyboards[1]. I've had several people who told me they had discomfort with Ergodox, Moonlander and Kinesis but found the Dactyl quite comfortable.

It depends on whether you often need to reach across the keyboard middle. If you need to press keys on the left half with your right hand or the other way around, it will be uncomfortable.

Specifically for shooters I've found it pretty great though. I usually only need the left half of the keyboard anyway, since the right hand almost exclusively uses the mouse. Having a split keyboard means I can push the right half back and have more space for the mouse.

I am, however, also the kind of person that rebinds 80% of hotkeys in games to what I like, so I will always go to the trouble of binding every single important action to a key on the left half of the keyboard in shooters. So take that with a grain of salt.

This probably just refers to the current reality of using Python in many cases. If you want it's readability, you'll (most likely) need to deal with it's relatively slow runtime.

That said, the readability itself shouldn't have much to do with the performance, as many reimplementations of the Python runtime already show.
The Ergodox EZ is great for these! You can customize your keybinds and program macros and layers. Just use one half, for more space for the mouse.

Only for your (edit: FANG-style) companies, really. A lot of startups give options, which are pretend until the company goes public; and, in many cases cannot be considered real money, ever.

I may be "a fool", but when I wasn't working for a startup or a FANG, my stock earnings were pretty piddling, really, and my salary was (a bit less) than FANG's pre-stock earnings.

Cosmic bit flip? it happens.
Out of interest I've been running a bunch of the huggingface version of StableDiffusion using the M1 accelerated branch on my M1 Max[1]. I'm getting 1.54 it/s compared to 2.0 it/s for a Nvidia T4 Tesla on Google Collab.

T4 Tesla gets 21,691 queries/second for for ResNet, compared to 81,292 q/s for the new H100, 41,893 q/s for the A100 and 6164 q/s for the new Jetson.

So you can expect maybe 15,000 q/s on a M1 Max. But some tests seem to indicate a lot less[2] - not sure what is happening there.

React is good enough. And using a framework that devs are already familiar with is grossly underrated.

Sure good devs can learn any language/framework, but there is a learning curve and most write shitty code while unfamiliar with a framework.

There is not a lot of high performance digital logic that does not originate in the US.

ARM Ltd is possibly one exception. Though after many many years of attempting high performance designs and coming out with mediocre designs they promptly had their doors absolutely blown off by Apple i.e., the US PA Semi design team, in its first outing (or second, if you count PA6T, which I guess you should, but the PA6T itself was superior in performance to ARM cores when it was released too, they just didn't play quite so obviously in the same markets). Japan does some boutique supercomputer CPUs I suppose although I don't think they're actually competitive so much as a protected and subsidized venture.

I don't know why. China, Russia, Japan, Europe have been attempting this for a long time with comparatively little success, then you get a startup in the US come out with something great.

It's interesting, it almost seems there are dynasties of some secret sauce, the recipe of which was discovered in 1960s and they only pass it down by word of mouth. There are so many of these design teams in startups and established companies you hear about with roots in DEC or Intel or IBM.

Maybe that's changing. Maybe it's less true with GPUs than CPUs. Not sure though, USA is certainly the center of the universe for all that stuff at the moment.
Does everyone else picture a watch or clock hand ticking in their head, counting 1 by 1? I got 5.45ish pretty consistently. Reading other scores here, it's pretty amazing we're as good at this as humans.

> Passkeys work in Apple’s Safari web browser as well as on its devices.

I sure wish apple would be a little bit better of a citizen when it comes to interoperability. Safari only features (which is what I'm assuming this will be based on apples history and the quote) are upsetting. uBlock is the single most important piece of software on my computer and my devotion to it exceeds any and all possible other features.

I would very much like to stop moving from password manager to password manager after they take VC money to corrupt their trust model so they can make money.

From the article:

> Because Apple developed its passkeys based on the FIDO Alliance standards, the passkeys can work across devices and on the web. If you try to log in to one of your accounts on a Windows machine, you’ll have to use a slightly different method since your passkeys won’t be stored on that machine. (If they are saved in an external password manager, you would need to log in to that first).

> Instead, when you log in to a website in Google Chrome, for example, you will have to use a QR code and your iPhone to help you sign in. The QR code contains a URL that includes single-use encryption keys. Once scanned, your phone and the computer are able to communicate using an end-to-end encrypted network via Bluetooth and share information.

I suppose that's not the worst workaround, and the local exchange is pretty clever, but it sure would be nice if this would work with Firefox out of the box.

If that was their motivation then why not simply offer an opt-in to heavily moderated servers? And a toggle to make it where that's all you see (if you want). This would not only make their job much easier, since presumably relatively few people want this sort of moderation, but would also increase the overall satisfaction of their entire userbase. People who want moderation for whatever reasons, can have it. Those that don't - don't have to.

A tangential, but related, issue I've observed is that there seem to be an increasing number of measures being carried out in society that, in effect, drive widespread self censorship. Any interesting conversation, regardless of how otherwise sanitary, may be likely to motivate somebody to want to "report" others. See any thread on, for instance, dark matter. An esoteric scientific concept, yet one where emotions run wild.

The only choice, in scenarios where reporting is likely to lead to penalties that are intolerable, is to simply not say anything at all that might cause even a single ripple in the water. And that is, in effect, not especially different than life in all of these unfree societies we were supposed to have learned from. The fact that we now seem to be becoming one of those societies, even if by a more novel path, is becoming increasingly apparent.

Be that as it may, as opposed to the brand of shoes they (or their parents) bought, there is something that can be done to prevent this bullying at least.
I once made friends with an old former freemason. He was one of the kindest guys I ever met and claimed to once have been a rather high rank (he told me his rank, but I forgot). He quit when he realized that freemasonry does not live up to their ideals anymore. According to him, freemasons keep the same religious animosities among each other that we have in public society and freemasonry is used by many (most?) freemasons mainly as a networking vehicle.

Also, my grand uncle was a freemason, but he was rather arrogant and did not care much about the rest of the family, so I never learned anything about freemasonry from him.

Those are the only touch points that I had with freemasonry.

It would hurt historians feelings to know that they are essentially just, what we call today, “hot takes” on history. It’s often well written and credentialed (appeal to authority), but ultimately it’s just one dude’s hot take on events.

For example, many people in America have a hot-take about what life is like in China. How? We heard it from somewhere, never lived a day there.

Can’t be that simple right? You say you heard it from a scholar?

Welp, hate to break it to ya, but unless you were there yourself, it’s just not 100% the truth.

It’s the main reason you’ll eventually see a book that says “we got Abraham Lincoln all wrong, let me tell you my hot take”. You’d have to read 30 of these hot takes before you can even mix the black and white into a gray truth (which the truth is, always gray).

Anyway, word on the street is the Queen is a saint. Give it a year, we’ll get the other hot take. Then another one.
Having experience with all of following three: kids, minecraft online, kids playing minecraft online, no. If someone get banned unfairly with such frequency, they are either super extraordinary unlucky or just some of those kids do mess and trolling on the side.

Ok, thank you. The internet is funny. Neutral tones can come across as aggressive. Aggression, generally, though, can totally be all in the head of the perceiver.
No. That would be like having a steel door in your house, and a cardboard one next to it.

I believe the login flow on another device (let’s say a Windows laptop) is that you scan some QR code on the laptop’s screen from your iPhone. Then the iPhone communicates with the site and validates the passkey. And if that is all OK the site on the laptop will proceed to log you in.
This entire thread is comments. ;)
I used a Kinesis Advantage as my main keyboard for close to 10 years. A few years ago I got an Ergodox EZ, but just couldn't get into it. I've been using a NiZ Atom68 as my main keyboard for over a year now and am rather happy with it. I have plans to build and try a Kyria with some ultra-light linear keys soon as well.

These days I think that there are so many good community designed keyboards that it behooves anyone who has the notion they'd like something better than a standard layout keyboard to do a bit of research and testing. For any keyboard layout it is fairly trivial to make a printout and stick it to your desk to get an impression of how it fits your hand size/shape and your preferred resting/neutral position. There's a good layout comparison tool which makes it trivial to narrow in on your preference as well [0].

Recently I've found Ben Vallack [1] to be an excellent resource on keyboard customization and his philosophy echoes my own, though he shows much more dedication to the craft and exploration of keyboarding than I could ever hope or wish to. He has an excellent series on designing and making your own keyboard [2], as well as well thought out explanations and explorations of creating and learning personalized keyboard layouts [3][4]. His more general explorations of usability in computing and beyond have been inspiring as well [5].

Well put.

And as a 'general rule', of course there are exceptions.

I can see that, it is not what I wish. I don't advocate or recommend any of that to my fellow men. Late Queen and the current British monarchy aren't worthy and I believe they need little of our time spent in empathy.

The hatred though is coming from unresolved hurt, which the modern British era is trying hard to forget and won't be easy until they take some sensible directions towards reparations and an honest apology at least from whomever even got to witness, including the late Queen. She had a chance to resolve or ease it in our memories. We'll remember her as someone who lived their life in power, saw the horrors their parents designed upon others and didn't even have courtesy to apologise.

So much for the British decency..

Edit: Sorry for the rant. My Grandpa and his kin suffered a lot and was in freedom struggle, it is that lasting impact. I've put it here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32775488
If you're a brit, please know that I am not against you or anybody for that matter. Just the monarchy's horrific past.
I believe you're referring to $ not being fired when another $ below it updates the variable the first $ subscribes to. This is an expected behavior. In Svelte the order of $ matters to prevent infinite loops.

In this example the second $ won't trigger the first $:

let a = 1;
let b = 1;

$: if (a > 0) { b += 1 }

$: if (b > 0) { a += 1 }

With React's useEffect one can easily falls into the trap of an infinite re-rendering:

let a = 1;
let b = 1;

useEffect(() => {
b += 1;
}, [a]);

useEffect(() => {
a += 1;
}, [b]);

Great framework are supposed to prevent this kind of loophole.
Ukraine isn't lost, even after the war multiple countries now are mentioning which cities they are going to help rebuild.

Additionally, in 4 years time they will have insane profits from gas, where the pipelines have already been laid. Europe will be able to stop all payments to Russia and change it to Ukraine.

In the future, they will probably do similar preparations like Finland did ( since Finland got invaded hard also in the past).

Russia is already the pariah state. And while Europe is harboring fleeing Ukranians, we are tightening ties and exponentially tieing their future WITH Europe ( eg. The English language).

Ps. The future of Ukraine tied to Russia would have been a joke, just check Chechnya and Syria. They are way better off if they are open to it. Just check GDP growth of Poland, that's what partnering with Europe means and can do.
Making a proper bug report and answering follow-up questions on the bug tracker and whatnot is a significant amount of work, tweeting a "hey this thing happened" tweet is not. Not working for free for Apple seems very reasonable to me.

The way Ireland was publicly handled after 2016 shows that "small percentage" is still firmly in power, and winning solid majorities.

I prefer to look harder at why you want such strict typing in the first place. Is this for a recipes webapp? Just use strings because chances are it’ll end up going over some JSON protocol anyway. Is it for an actual cooking calculator? Then maybe you do need to focus on things like units of measure more carefully. Is it for a safety critical airplane food cargo calculator? Same again, but you’ll probably have to use C making all your types end up as structs…

My point is, consider the problem space, domain, users when thinking about this stuff. Type systems don’t exist in isolation.
