> a lot of people begrudgingly dislike the Dactyl Manuform layout because it is uncomfortable for them and awful to type on

Part of this is just the nature of ergonomic keyboards. Each one is usually solving a set of very specific ergonomic problems. If you don't have that set of problems it can be either a lateral move or even a regression in your comfort/pain level.

My wrists are fucked up from years of skateboarding and mountain biking. Going to curved key wells helped me a lot because it lets me freeze my wrists in a comfortable position and still hit keys far from the home row. And having a fully split keyboard helps me find those comfortable wrist positions easier. With those requirements, a split Dactyl was a good choice and worked out well for me.
I want tailwind as a DSL or IDE feature to write CSS. That’s mainly what I like about it. I don’t mind css but it’s repetitive to style a bunch of nodes.
Sure, if you can give me ones supporting your preferred measures.

> The children can't consent. That's essentially child slave labor.

Minors can totally consent to labor; it's pretty common too (see: child actors). The issue with children working in factories is a (1) safety and (2) exploitation issue, not a consent issue—in fact even adult parents (who can presumably consent) aren't allowed to get exemptions for their children in some high-risk situations either. There are lots of exemptions for child labor though, especially in areas where safety and exploitation risks are deemed to be lower. Worth reading: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/youthlabor/exemptionsflsa

Edit to clarify (since some people seem to be reading this different): this isn't my opinion, support, or opposition on what I believe children can or should consent to; I'm just discussing labor laws here.
Probably 3-4 times a year being screamed at. Not all threats of violence, sometimes just strings of profanity. One woman called my dog a fa**. Though she did also say she'd kill me.

Also called the cops twice on people shooting up in front of the middle school near my house in the morning while I was walking my dog. That wasn't even in the TL - that was Nob Hill.

I thought that the main mechanism that produces the 2D disk of matter in galaxies was gravity, and that dark matter is equally affected by gravity as normal matter? What is the prevailing theory as to why dark matter accretion around galaxies is different from normal matter?

(edit: to answer my own question, the rabbit hole starts here: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/485214/ -- basically, accretion happens because light matter can radiate and shed its (kinetic) energy that way. Dark matter does not radiate so it remains in a higher-energy state)

Any recommendations for a keyboard that does everything well?

I have found Microsoft Sculpt to be pretty decent. In particular, it has negative tilt which I think is the most ergonomic option. Build quality is not very good, though. And I would prefer a wired option for a lower latency. Also, I have heard they are no longer produced and they are just selling stocked items. Interestingly, I do not dislike their shallow keyswitches. I find them much less tiring in the long run, and I type much faster.
Some very famous paintings it can almost reproduce, like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. It can’t get it quite right but I think it’s close enough to be considered copying. So there might be a copyrighted instance of that, but I haven’t seen one yet.

Below replacement birth rates seem to be a feature of developed economies. It’s not difficult to understand “why” but the more pertinent question is “what to do about it”.

The West (starting with America and now, increasingly, Europe) has decided to make up for the shortfall with immigration (oddly, while also discouraging large families internally).

The East (Japan and South Korea at this point) have largely gone the opposite direction with public health campaigns encouraging having children. I don’t know how it’s playing out in SK, but so far in Japan it seems to be failing pretty miserably.

The jury is still out on if the Western strategy is viable long term since massive immigration is clearly resulting in issues with social cohesion and increasing domestic unrest.
You’re asking for a specific, concrete solution to an unsolved problem.

Tell HN: Song on Spotify unexpectedly interleaved with another unrelated song
Not sure what happened here, but this track[1] at around the 55th second, is suddenly (and unexpectedly) cut off and another, totally unrelated (different artist, different genre) starts playing. The original track is from a Greek hardcore hip-hop group.

First time encountering this in a streaming platform so I found it interesting to share.

If culturally-discriminating WASP admissions officers were the main barrier, one would not expect non-Jewish whites to be the most underrepresented group in the Ivy League. Circa 2019, looking at non-international students only:

Ivy League US Ratio Mean SAT score [1]
Jewish 17.2% 2.4% 7.16 n/a
Asian 19.6% 5.3% 3.71 1216
White (incl. Jewish) 50.3% 61.5% 0.82 1148
Hispanic 11.4% 17.6% 0.65 1043
Black 7.8% 12.7% 0.61 966
White (non-Jewish) 33.1% 59.1% 0.56 ~1141 (lower estimate)

Percentages don't sum to 100 because multi-ethnic students, a few minor ethnicities (American-Indian, Pacific Islander..), and students categorized as "unknown"/"other" by the universities were excluded. Data on university undergraduate demographics was taken from the universities own diversity reports. Jewish representation was gathered from http://hillel.org/college-guide/list/, https://forward.com/jewish-college-guide/, and https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/how-many-jewish-undergraduat..., taking the lowest estimate when sources conflicted. ejewishphilanthropy.com (eJP) points out flaws in Hillel's data gathering (e.g. showing Harvard as 30% Jewish, when eJP found it only 16%) Hillel seems to have since fixed these flaws, as the estimates they now give are in-line with those of eJP.

I entertained buying the advantage (maybe 2?) before ultimately buying a keyboardio model 1. The main things I didn't like about the advantage was the fixed geometry and small/awkward function keys. Had this been out, it would have been strongly considered, looks like it addressed my primary concerns.

That said, I loved the keyboardio so much that I recently received the updated model 100, and love it more than the original. The hot swappable switches are great, and the layout is really efficient for me (admittedly, took a frustrating few weeks to get proficient).

Knowing what I do now, I'd personally choose the keyboardio 100 over the kinesis 360, but I'm glad there is another flexible high quality split kb on the market.
Advocates of superdeterminism aren't always in favour of the term. Its most notable advocate, Hossenfelder, disapproves of the term, believing it to be misleading. She suggests the term 'implicate order' (crediting Bohm) be used instead.
I don't have a lot of insight in academic funding and I know the meme that PhDs don't get paid a lot, but is it really better to use presumably very highly trained PhDs to do the grunt work of systems administration rather than actual research? Honest question here, it just seems logical to hire dedicated technicians for the not-research work?
It is mind-bogglingly hilarious how many people in this thread think banks do this stuff for fun, or are even legally allowed to talk about a case. The fact that Stripe people are even in this thread, frankly, is huge.

I think the suggestion is, humans aren't biologically disposed to fly either, but that's hasn't stopped them (that being the relationship to technology); so why should it dictate our role in society, where we collectively have even more freedom to structure things as we see fit?

That's an interesting take. But nah, I like some things the way they are now vs. back then. I love having cheap/easy CI that deploys to prod for me. I love having IDEs that are actually geared towards whatever language I'm writing in this year. I love having access to cheaper coloc space because most people aren't using it. I love having skills that most people don't even bother learning anymore when digging into performance issues. ...

There is much I love about today and I look forward to the future. I was just stating my observations. And yes, `git deploy prod` is a fancy FTP, but probably even worse than FTP if the build actually happens on the production server (which is something I saw more than once) and causes a production outage (also saw more than once).
Would be nice to see the email that's delivered for that example code.
I find the "you're not paying enough" argument a little strange. By definition, not every company can pay top of market and get the most skilled engineers.

If the average engineer doesn't have a certain skill, I think it's fair to say that it's hard to hire for it, because it will be for the average company.
Your correct. Lars isn’t faking his feats. But his narrative that he “rediscovered the ancient true way of archery” is fake, and originally before his rise to fame, that was his “claim to fame” he was a snake oil salesman who ended up being successful because even though his claims about the product where false, people still genuinely liked the product just for what it was, impressive archery skills, no need to wrap it up in claims about ancient lore or some modern conspiracy to “suppress true archery”.
It's less likely that search engines would manipulate this and much much much more likely that the SEO'd commercial content would be dominated by "move to the cloud!" type stuff because that's what's easy to sell these days.

"Don't move to the cloud!" is hard to make money by selling to places not in the cloud.

"Move out of the cloud" is harder to sell to places in the cloud than "move to the cloud" is to sell to places not in the cloud, because (a) bigger orgs with big budgets to make money off of tend to be older and not in the cloud fully in the first place and (b) moving out of the cloud is less turn-key - every client is going to be different and likely lower-margin than pushing clients into the same set of existing packaged cloud services.

That said, I'm not aware of any companies from people in my network that are actively moving out of the cloud... so I also don't buy that it's a big trend.
they however need the quotes. Otherwise you drown in noise about the great cloud. Have you tried searching for performance figures without disabling amazon, azure and google in the search? You won't find any.

Still it's probably just the general noise of the fully oligopolized internet :).

While those programs are easy to abuse, it is very important that someone released from prison has a path to an honest life.

If they have a job though you can arrange an apartment and other than a new place to sleep things seem normal and so they have a chance.
1000 threads was a very specific use case I probably shouldn't have generalized from where I needed to match the number of Python threads running in a web server to a Java process running on the same host using the same number of threads. They were mostly idle.

There's no reason Python should fall over at any number of threads. You just usually end up either running out of memory or (more likely) saturate a single CPU core well before that number of threads.

Without consulting my notes I can't recall why I didn't use gevent on that project.
TIL about ix.io, that is awesome
This is true about HN, and a very healthy perspective on cloud. It is very much the minority opinion that using the cloud is like using a repair shop for a car. The vast majority of people think they are saving money by doing it for one reason or another, rather than effectively outsourcing dev competency.

Unfortunately, the competency you are outsourcing is rare and getting rarer, meaning that infrastructure products are getting very expensive (and profitable).
Would probably help to include price points, or at least links to product pages. Otherwise I don't necessarily know if I'm looking at a $200 intel thing or a Pi Zero clone.
Great list. Thank you

Don't think the title is correct though. That's a mix of arm boards, some decided not in the SBC class. e.g. H270-T70 is more of an enterprise server.
If you’ve got global consumers of services you build, and or need elastic scalability - sure.

Or if you’re a really small company - sure. You should probably rely on SaaS mainly.

I would say many companies fall outside of these categories though and could potentially both save money and gain performance staying on-prem.

I know my current employer does, and we’re seriously looking at moving back to on-prem/co-lo.

Yes, self-defense is a legitimate use of violence. Is there any other point at all in this thread?

When people say they are "anti-war" or "pacifist", they do not mean anti-self-defense. This kind of rethoric is uninteresting.

Yeah this was the issue. It’s probably a common one in rural areas like the one I am from. These areas also tend to lack public transit.
Your theory doesn’t work… otherwise why managers are not on-call? You’ll say “because they cannot fix shit if needed”, but the real reason is: on-call sucks, you cannot force managers to do it, but you can force engineers.

There's literally nothing contractual in "smart contracts". They enforce nothing. It's just code.

I think both are actually true.

Companies are not paying enough, but we also do not have as many opportunities (for SysAdmins) to learn things.

Paid Internships, Jr Admin Roles, etc are fewer and far between, companies are looking for "experienced" people in a time where alot of the experience is retiring.

Dont get me wrong there are plenty of us Gen X's out there with lots of experience but most of us are also massively over worked with limited opportunities given for us to train the next generation, so pay is only 1 part of this problem, head count is the other

Even if you find a company that has good pay, they almost always under size their IT dept by 25-50%, and rarely promote internal training or continuing education, or offer entry level admin positions with the goal to skill up people.
40% are grades?!

taking grades into account seems weird as hell
Sorry, I know that part was ambiguous. I meant shooting my bow using an instinctive aiming technique. I don't throw things in the air usually. Just regular or 3D targets ("3D" in archery terms meaning fake animals).

People that do shoot moving targets from what I've seen might just use frisbees or the like. You kinda need a barn full of straw behind it.

If you want to learn more about instinctive archery, here's something on that from Clay Hayes ("Alone" season 8 winner): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mzWQ5_1bXtM and the whole channel is full of (serious - not stunt) archery stuff.

Not if you include literacy in any language e.g. Spanish or English.
This isn’t a red v blue issue, and we don’t need to reply with tit for tat shaming of the “other side”, it’s a shame that any state has child labor or illiteracy.

Friendly reminder that guineas book of records is a company you pay a lump sum of money to, and they stage an event to give you an award for publicity.

So it begs the question. How much did Lars pay to put on this event, of all the possible arrow related records he could have made up, why make up this particular one. It seems obvious that it would have been a more honest record to look at consecutive bullseyes or arrows split or something like that, but perhaps the established records from regular competitive archers where to hard for him to beat. And naturally, why is he trying to create a social bus now? Does he have a book coming out or something like that?

The problem of being on-call is not only the potential issues that can appear at 3am in the morning.

I cannot even go for a 30 min walk without taking my laptop!

I don’t really use function keys, but if I did, I’d just map them to the second layer.

Maybe you should address the concern by removing dangerous medical info?
This is accurate. The soil in the Midwest is unbelievably fertile especially compared to the Northeast. Also, you have a longer growing cycle and transportation is significantly cheaper. I believe that Vermont agriculture was at its peak in the 1700s and shrank every decade since.
