>> Use both, and use both halves of the keyboard If you're doing a combination like Ctrl F, use the right control key. If you're doing Ctrl-l, use the left control key.

You can also remap both caps lock and enter to control when they are used in combination with other keys. If you press them alone then they can be caps lock(or escape) and enter as normal. Pretty easy to do in karabiner. No RSI issues and you never have to worry about hunting for the ctrl keys with your pinkies on the bottom of the keyboard.
Honestly you should take a stab at arch. There is a cli wizard installer now.
> It's really not that hard to imagine, look at China or Russia or many other countries (e.g. Middle-East). Very aggresive white/blacklists of internet services.

Part of the problem is people thinking that such countries are creating the fragmentation whereas it were the US companies who literally partitioned internet through algorithms, walled gardens, filters and blacklists. A national firewall can be circumvented by VPN and many do. Its much harder to circumvent whatever limitations such corporations that control large parts of the internet create.

Yes, such keyboards exist.

As well as enter/backspace/delete, it's also useful to have esc/tab near spacebar.

Well. Then you'd need to move your hands, or stretch your fingers a bit. It's better to have a smaller spacebar key, to allow for extra keys.
Nope. They were implemented to encourage people to have kids. When it was seen that it worked on immigrants too, it was an added bonus.
> 1000 (preferably 5000!) consumers paying me $100/ea/year than have 10 businesses paying me $100k/ea/year.

I like to have more diversity than just 10 customers, but on the other hand, having $1M of income seems very preferable to $100K ;-).
That ... could be compelling.

Aside from desktop (Firefox), much of my browsing now is on an e-ink tablet. I've found that an e-ink optimised browser, specifically EinkBro, is strongly preferable there.

That browser has some features addressing Web annoyances (adblock, somewhat lackluster cookie and JS toggles), but does nothing against cookie pop-ups.

A DDG browser with e-ink tuning might be interesting.

EinkBro: <https://github.com/plateaukao/browser>

Useful features:

- Paginated navigation. This is based on touch regions rather than gestures.

- Black-on-white mode. Forces a white background and enhances blacks in text.

- A really nifty "save as e-pub" feature. More here: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/107958709435468728>

- A ... not especially good reader-mode feature. (Better CSS styling w/ some margins would help a lot.)

- Integrated adblock.

- Good bookmarking for a mobile browser.

<https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/38e0c53096600139106600...>

As to why e-ink needs tuning:

- Persistence is free.

- Pixels are cheap. (Lots of them, very high DPI, 200--300+.)

- Paints are expensive and slow --- draw power and even at high-performance, at best a few Hz. High-quality is more like 1 to 0.25 Hz.

- Animated anything sucks.

- Pagination hugely beats scroll.

Good call. Indeed Amazon does have the super annoying upsell after adding an item to the shopping cart. It must convert well for them it to still be enabled ...
But for the actual checkout - once you have finished adding all items to shopping cart, I haven't seen a Modal on Amazon.

Doordash ... do they pop-up up-sells during the checkout process or prior to you clicking/tapping checkout?

With all respect to people who use/love https://www.sayweee.com ... I don't consider them to be a major player in e-commerce. More of a niche/specialty seller. There are plenty of examples of niche/tiny e-commerce sites using Modals to frustrate their users. Want to focus on bigger players with the resources to be more data-driven in their design/UX decisions.
You’re thinking of Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
What I meant is: If people are working at 1/10th of their potential they would tend to get frustrated.

With microservices, you make 10x as much work in such a way that the work seems meaningful and is perhaps even fullfilling. It takes some effort to see that the complexity you are solving day to day is accidental complexity, not essential complexity.
I agree with you here. A parallel example being the IRS and tax reform that's prevented by private companies in the tax preparation domain.
Every 7th grader in my middle school computer class learned to use Hypercard and I wouldn't say any of them were tech savvy at that age in 1990.

Yes, I am an idiot. I always confuse those two.
There is a lot to unpack in this statement. First, this sentiment is already covered by the article under:

> Git should be your only source of truth. Discard any local files or changes, what's not pushed into the repository, does not exist.

Second, don't fool yourself into thinking, just because you wrote a script or configured some provisioning service, that means you've pulled yourself out of the valley of nondeterministic unreproducible production environments. Pets can and do live in git. A majority of the systems I've worked on in both FAANG and non-FAANG in my career couldn't be reproduced from the source repo in the case of a catastrophic disaster (I.e. us-east-1 disappears) or a year of being stable enough to not deploy even though their "source of truth" lives in git. The world moves out from under your repo and many of the steps you take for granted when writing your automation aren't understood by the next engineer running the automation. Then one day you have to go upgrade this one repo and realize it's IaC is no longer compatible with the infra in the real world and you burn a day trying to figure out what's wrong with a 1000LoC YAML file.
People will not write books and blogs if they can't pay the bills. If AI xant replace those, you will have no books and blogs. Thats how market works.

> The problem is that (1) those programs seem to "produce" (as awful as it sounds) undesirable people who dont work nor contribute to society

The problem is that (1) that is patently false.

Take the case of Germany. So many Turkish immigrants. So many used those programs and had many children. So many complained. Yet, Germany's most famous footballer, the makers of Crysis, the inventor of the Biontech vaccine (the one that you know as Pfizer) are all such kids born to such families.

Since your initial propositon is flat out false, I dont see the need to address the others.
And we need to stop pretending we do.
Walk up to a nearest piano, hold down the pedal, and start playing on the black keys. You will find it completely impossible to play something that sounds bad. Much of what you play will even sound good. Someone ignorant of the piano might think you're a skilled pianist. But make no mistake: it is the tuning that is doing all the work.

I have nothing against this post, so long as people recognize this is an interpretation of the fractal designed to make it sound good. Any random input would also sound harmonious if mapped to the same scale.
my bet is on chatbots replacing Google Search and other search engines.

people will stop tolerating their shenanigans. i have, myself, seen what is possible. and i am not setting that bar low ever again.

the other time, ChatGPT taught me, right in the chat, about a CSS animation feature i didn't know about. with full example code. i proceeded to ask a trick question. i knew where to go for more in-depth information but asked anyway. ChatGPT gave me the correct answer. the top of the list was MDN. it also included w3schools, which i wasn't pleased about, but okay.

what i am trying to say is that i got my answer, code example, and where to go next in mere seconds. i did not waste time combing through SEO-ridden results. has any of you searched for anything web related on Google Search lately?

today ChatGPT recommended few electronic products. explained the selection criteria i needed to consider in the future! has any of you tried to look for products at all with Google Search?

my only use case for Google Search is my work machine. ChatGPT uses my personal account. they need to figure out enterprise environment soon.

i am having a hard time seeing other use cases search engines right now.
The most comfortable for typing is "home row modifiers".

With tap-hold functionality, the key behaves the same when tapped, but as the modifier key when held.

So, you can put Shift/Ctrl/Gui/Alt as tap-hold underneath asdf and jkl; on the home row.

This can be achieved on a fancy keyboard, or with cross-platform software like kmonad.
It's well known that Casio and similar watches will usually lose water resistance after the battery is changed.

The advertised water resistance is only for the original battery, case unopened.
This one study doesn't show parochiality, but plenty of those preceding it did, including those for young children. So I wouldn't rush to conclusions here.

but so does the cost to service that growing population.
Suicide influenced by social media is an urgent problem and I'm happy that platforms are taking steps to address it. That said, there needs to be significantly more fault laid at the feet of parents who let their kids scroll apps all day. That is child neglect and it causes suicides. Facebook didn't make those parents neglectful they did it all on their own.
> IPO then retire and do something else.

Yeah, do what, exactly... Dawdle around dabbling in random stuff, only to eventually get bored and return to tech for making an impact on something and changing the world...
Charging in a garage or outside when it's 15F or below?
This feels like a misdirection, though. Revenue may be high, but the same forces that drive this being a trivial statement also mean that expenses are at an all time high.
> Who in the flying fuck are you to assume that I need help of any sort?

You asked a question. Asking a question is ostensibly a request for help of some kind, like clarification. Perhaps you were asking rhetorically or insincerely, but I provided an answer in good faith assuming you literally didn't understand why one should assume good faith. I would have replied anyway even if you weren't, just in case anyone else was even slightly convinced by your line of reasoning.

> Are any of those convergence? I don't know -and now, thanks to your post, I don't care either.

Convergence may not relevant to all objectives, but neither is assuming good faith. Since we're talking about why one should assume good faith, I pointed out that convergence to agreement is one good reason.

I don't see how anything else you mentioned is relevant.
No, it doesn’t.

But plenty of wealthy people will get wealthier if it happens.
My take is that we really need to work with our legal frameworks, instead of trying to workaround and expect to succeed in the shadow of "the man".

> I think we need decentralisation and “crypto” to succeed.

I was waiting to see if crypto could mature and fit into our society, and my impression is most succesful actors don't care about how it's used and build a business around milking "investors", and there is very little effort to talk to existing entities to make it something that could actually work in our day to day lives.

It might feel like a wild take, but focusing on decentralisation will probably be a dead end, and it's fostering the idea that crypto will succeed adversary to banks, governments and other financial institutions. I'm thinking about deposit insurance, anti-laundering laws, terrorist founding surveillance, customer fraud protection etc. There's no way crypto goes anywhere practical without those in place.

It's still fine of course for greyish activities (reward largely exceeds the risk) and anything that's small enough to fly under the radar (losses are too small to be critical), but expecting kickstarters to rely on that is adding more risks upon the mountain of risks that already exist in the business model itself.

On Kickstarter specifically, as of now Kickstarter could start processing money on its own, for instance directly exposing its bank account and have people wire in money. Or send cash in the mail. Or get physical goods sent to them that they further sell on their own. The crazy schemes would be infinite.

But the very point of Kickstarter is a secure and low friction way to pool money. Moving to crypto, the equivalent would be to have a major trusted processor take people's pledge, validate them, but keep them around until the kickstarter actually succeeds . We'd want that processor to be solid and have a long proven track record, otherwise trusting them with our crypto would be crazy. There probably won't be dozens of them, and with time they'll consolidate into perhaps 3 or 4. Or 2. And they might as well be named VCard and Masterisa.
Nice idea, though this doesn’t seem to be doing more than multiplying the song count by $0.99. With a simple UI and lookups to an actual song catalog for prices, this could be a neat tool.
I don't think people are out there producing fake theories for how to use AWS.

Academic freedom is basically a fundamental tenet of the university system. But the usual crowd thinks their agenda trumps fundamental principles of free society and only wants certain views to get any airtime, which places limits on academic enquiry. It's the modern equivalent of disallowing any research that conflicts with the bible, for example.

People like the sister commentor (now flagged/dead) that think anyone with a view different than their own is a Nazi want to insert themselves into what should be free inquiry, and have devised all sorts of mental gymnastics to explain why constraining thought is actually a good thing. University administrators who only care about preserving their power and want to take the most risk adverse path get onboard, and faculty get held hostage by an entitled minority that thinks their agenda is more important than anything else. (When the agenda is really just power anyway, not the causes they use as wedge issues)

And so the faculty has symbolically signed a statement that shouldn't need to exist, saying their business is their business and they should be left unmolested to free enquiry. And a few culture warriors call it culture war bullshit to try and give it the usual smug dismissal treatment that's the only form of rhetoric they know because they don't actually have a point
The problem I have with that is that this company is known for its disrespect of standards.

Some techies are already confused about the nature of the ISA and architecture.

Pretty soon, people will forget that iOS and macOS are running on ARM, like many many other devices.

For once they have the ability to adopt a standard and even push it forward with the incredible engineering of their hardware teams, but they seems to choose, again, the other route.
My understanding has always been that the case against Oppenheimer was primarily a hatchet job by Teller.

I appreciated your comment. However with respect to what your Dad told you :

> "son, the bank manager is my boss, he can call in my loans any time"

that would have been true for him (being in property development). But there are people who build successful businesses or just work for themselves who never go into substantial debt and thus are free of any such 'creditor boss'.
I don't want to take tradeoff by (easily) replaceable battery. It's good that replaceable battery products exists for who want with accepting thicker and heavier product. Not for me so please don't mandate it. Perhaps it's good to make big manufacturers should have at least one replaceable product. I fully agree to right to repair for non-replaceable battery products.

Phage therapy is already used in Eastern Europe and Russia. I received phage therapy there myself against an antibiotic-resistant GI infection about 15 years ago. It has been effective. Of course, this is a sample size of 1.

I genuinely believe that ideological and political stigma still stands in the way of phage research and use in the West as it did in the cold war when phages were considered "Soviet". More thoughts on this - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/may/09/cold-war-pol....

Soviets, Russian and Georgian scientists did a lot of good work; I'm ashamed to see it shunned in Western medicine when I know it can already be effective and save lives if an industry developed around the medical use of phages. Lives lost to antibiotic resistance in the West will be the price of politicizing science.

It depends. There can be several benefits of selling to businesses (based on experience):

- You may only need to be responsive to customers during business hours. Of course this changes when you sell globally.

- User-facing upgrades (new features) are not necessarily expected. They might be perfectly content with the product as is, barring a few (hopefully low-priority) tweaks/bug fixes here and there.

- If businesses are dependent on your service for mission critical jobs and can hardly tolerate outages, charge them accordingly. They should be willing to support measures that ensure your continuity and reliability. This might enable you to hire others.

- If a business has trained its people to use your offering, or spent time integrating it, they are probably not going anywhere for many years. This is even more true with highly specialized software for which there is little or no competition. This means once you have reached your threshold of customers, you shouldn't have to invest much time in acquiring new customers if you don't want to.
It is highly relevant in Australia.

64.2% of all newspaper circulation is owned by Murdoch. And it is here where he pioneered the idea of weaponing his mastheads to further his political and economic views.

And Murdoch famously partnered with the mining industry to take down a government when they tried to introduce a mining tax.
The reason I explained in my previous comment deals with the interaction between our body and the phage. A lot of drugs fail in this phase. What works in a cell culture need not work in the body. Even if you find the right phase for your infection it still might not work. All this might be solved with genetic engineering. But there a lot of work to do.

Also as an aside, physics is easier than biology. Once you figure out a solution that works, it always works in the future. The moon is not actively changing its orbit to survive. Bacteria or cancer for that matter always end up finding a way to overcome
It's done by upscaling and downscaling by integer amounts, so it's not quite the same as true fractional scaling.
Excellent try at running the conversation off into an irrelevant maze there.

Regardless, your list of items help prove my point that there is no neutral. One can decide to platform or ban any or all of those things. Choosing to publish it all is no more neutral than banning it all.

Keep it simple. Have global state where it needs to be global.

The easiest way to avoid problems with multithreaded writes to globals is to not have multithreaded writes to globals. Ensure all writes to said global only occur in one thread. One possibility is to use e.g. locks and semaphores to ensure only one thread writes at a time, but nothing can beat the amazing synchronity that is imperative programming. Try it out some time. Tell your friends.

The real secret here is that there are very few things that actually need to be globally writable. Most things that are global should be constant, so not a problem. For those which aren't, you probably have some kind of IPC message passing thing in your programming tool of choice. Use it to pass any state changes to global state to your main thread, which changes it. Be aware that race conditions may happen. If they cause you issues, make them not happen any more. Don't worry so much about life.

There will be problems with every approach. Pick one with few problems, and deal with them as they come. Multithreaded programming is inherently complex. No need to make it worse than it is.
> In fact, insisting on using the pinky is a sign you are also insisting on using one hand to enter the key combination

no it's not. insisting on using the pinky is an attempt to keep the rest of your touch-typing fingers remaining in place on the home row, which is the main reason using opposite hand shift keys is appealing in the first place.

If you're going to take your fingers off the home row, sure, use opposing index fingers for everything.
