Dvorak user for 6+ years. Whereas I was very proficient touch-typing qwerty, that ability was lost when I learned Dvorak. It was too difficult, with too little benefit, to train myself to touch type in both formats. I ended up going all-in on Dvorak.

My keyboard [0] has software that translates from Dvorak to qwerty. So plugging the keyboard into different machines means no change for me, since most do qwerty by default.

When I use laptop keyboard, I do switch to dvorak layout.

Also, I'll mention the most interesting bit for me personally with changing has been in-person software interviews. The interviewer (future boss) gave me quite a look when he saw me start hunt-and-pecking! I should have given him some warning but wasn't thinking about it until I sat down at the keyboard. Fortunately it led to a good conversation, and after taking the few seconds to switch keyboard formats on the test machine I was back to full speed (unnecessarily extra full speed to impress).

> it would be a real problem for other people if the keycaps didn't match...

If you're concerned about other people, use qwerty keycaps and just ignore for yourself. It's also possible to have blank keycaps. I have blanks because they were the only sculpted option at the time for the keyboard I wanted. Along with the ortholinear layout I get some weird looks sometimes, the keyboard is just a blank regular grid of buttons, doesn't really look quite normal.

Yeah, but they weren't exactly friends with the Phoenicians either, were they?
Sounds like a great way to setup an echo chamber.
Can’t both be true? If I or GP do indeed care a lot about this example of our government’s behavior, wouldn’t it frustrate us even more that the messenger’s ill intentions or sketchy decisions during the disclosure make it easier to cast doubt on the substance of what he’s showing?

Uh this class is even worse, SDF is not a thread safe date formatter, so it never should be `final static`. `releaseDate` and `new Date()` will be ignorant of summer/winter time changes. For such scheduling one should use Quartz https://www.quartz-scheduler.org/
I’ve been wanting to get into graphics card programming for a while and have found the documentation to be extremely difficult to understand. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good tutorials that can help me out here.
typed_params is an alternative to Rails strong parameters for controller params, offering an intuitive DSL for defining structured and strongly-typed controller parameter schemas for Rails APIs.

We’ve been using it (and iterations of it) since 2016 [0] and just recently extracted it into its own open source gem.

Could you elaborate?

My experience was that vim keybindings are tied to characters, not key codes (position).

Insert is 'i', not the key at position of 'i' in QUERTY.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but Vim, for me, is all about the interface and muscle memory. Having keys move position due to the different keyboard layout was a deal-breaker.
It doesn't need to have killer app - Apple watch doesn't have killer but still sells well. Playststion or any other console also doesn't have killer app - they are just for entertainment. Oculus mostly focuses on entertainment right now.

For people who are blind the whole device is a killer app, can help reading book or newspaper, help with navigation on the street and warn about danger. Easier for them to find just this goggle computer than phone or computer, eye tracking as mouse probsbly easier to use than mouse.

Even Steven Hawking wouldnt mind using such a device.

That's a very sleazy thing that I'm glad I don't see nearly as much anymore. I still avoid shopping at places that I've seen do this in the past.
The quote was almost certainly in a slack log that was obtained via search warrant by the sec.
"AlphaDev uncovered new sorting algorithms that led to improvements in the LLVM libc++ sorting library that were up to 70% faster for shorter sequences and about 1.7% faster for sequences exceeding 250,000 elements."

No, this idea was stupid when Zuckerberg promoted it, and it's still stupid with Cook promoting it. VR goggles are a dead end. Invisible VR or AR has lots of applications, but the technology is years away.
If an extraterrestrial intelligence has reached the level of ability needed to transport large masses over vast interstellar distances, they are not lazily buzzing F/A-18s off the coast of California.

They're not coyly darting to and fro in a game with, almost exclusively American, pilots.

They're not hiding themselves from humanity, for whatever reason.

Their immense power would be like the Sun shining next to humanity's candle. They would not care, or even know to care, about how we would react to their presence.

Their interaction with Earth would be like Earth's with Mars. Sure we take steps to sterilize Mars rovers to prevent contamination but only because when we drill the hell out of that rock in broad daylight for all the Martians to see we want to make sure we only get Mars stuff.

I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand.

I'll just say that I regard the chances of the IG and congress being wrong about something as rather higher than that of an extraterrestrial civilization leaving artifacts on earth recovered only by the US Government. I mean, come on. I love alien stuff too but you need to put the bar for proof in a reasonable place, and this isn't it.

My point wasn't that there's a reasonable factual argument here (there clearly isn't) it's that the "reasonable" people jumping in to re-interpret it were also engaging in unfounded conspiracy paranoia (albeit one with a much more plausible hypothesis).
Honest question, who would you believe, that has access to these records?

Really? I was under the impression that Poland wanted the US to establish permanent bases on its territory and that they would make most of the American presence in Germany superfluous. (The Russians do not like this at all and the outcome of the current conflict may affect the PL-US cooperation. But that's not really the point here.) Maybe someone can correct me but I understood that the base in Ramstein is the only American base in Germany that is hard to replace because of a favourable position to communicate with satellites and provide nearly instantaneous communication between multiple theatres. Hard for me to say if 1'000 km east in Poland is less favourable.

I dunno, did anyone talk about a hypothetical Uber or Shazam the day after the iPhone launch?

That said, I think that if I can wear this for 8-10 hours, it would be an amazing monitor. That's the killer app. I sit by myself at home so the weird social interaction stuff isn't a part of the mix there. (I don't want to pay $3500 for it, but I'm not exactly an early adopter in general.)
The valuation of the companies is not necessarily great evidence that it's a fertile market; it's pretty saturated. The problem is most people don't need a new GitHub or Visual Studio because theirs works just fine and everyone else also uses it, so it's easier to just do that.

And sure, a billion dollars is an unfathomable amount of money to the average person, and a handsome exit for entrepreneurs depending on how it's structured. But when it comes to entire industries, it's pocket change.
Microsoft Office has always been sub-par on Mac, and I haven't worked at a company that uses it for collaboration for over a decade. (Sure, there's the occasional person that actually needs VB macros under Excel, or prefers powerpoint, but there's no reason for me to run it.)

I know you can use them for media production. Looking around, it sounds like they still own the low-end with iMovie, but it gets questionable as hardware requirements increase. I guess it's a viable platform for that.

I know a lot of CAD software is missing MacOS ports, so they seem to have lost that market.

Anyway, I'll continue to think of my laptop as a dumb terminal with a good hypervisor bolted on the side.
Following a series of teasers, Volvo has unveiled the EX30, its new all-electric premium SUV that aims to be more affordable. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, this vehicle is designed to have the lowest carbon footprint among all of Volvo's offerings.

I don't think there's any doubt at all that what he disclosed is true, correct? Snowden isn't part of this story because what he did/didn't do doesn't change the fact that what he reported is the truth. Discussing him at all distracts from that.

I wonder how Apple found a way around the allegedly insurmountable problem of supporting and maintaining this feature. Google, I have been told, just doesn't have the resources to do the same.
As part of the push to involve the designers more in production, I made a scripting engine and language to drive the quests in Diablo 2 roughly as you describe. By the time we go close to the end, none of the designers bothered to use it (we officially only had one at our studio but many people dabbled) so for my convenience I just took it out and replaced it with a function table that was there originally, I really regret that because I imagine the unofficial mod scene would be even more amazing if I left it in. The objects and monsters worked roughly as you describe, adding new ones (without new features) meant just adding and customizing a new line in the appropriate spreadsheets.
I believe the article is about ritual sacrifice, to a deity, and not what you describe that to me just sounds like the misery of no practical means of contraception or abortion.
Glenn Greenwald was always aligned with the libertarian right, the progressive gloss was one imposed by people reporting on his actions.

He has definitely moved into Right wing circles after the Democratic backlash to Snowden/wikileaks/etc. in the aftermath of the Podesra, etc. leaks.

The reality winner stuff is disingenuous, most of this was messed up by the people who pushed Greenwald out, you can read more about this elsewhere.

Look, the guy is complicated, but he has made valuable contributions. He exposes corruption & public-private collusion. There is clearly a lot of smoke around the Hunter Biden stuff. I don’t agree that it is the biggest deal, but I can see why that level of governmental intervention into the private matters of presidential family might interest civil liberties reporters and that does not make it a “conspiracy” (the WaPo has a 7 year old history of calling inconvenient truths conspiracy at this point).
First documented case of Crocodilian parthenogenesis, though the viable eggs did not hatch in the end. This means crocodilians join lizards and snakes amongst the reptiles who can do this. Hopefully turtles can too but so far no evidence
Notice the US did not succeed in capturing him, but did succeed in associating him with Russia & inducing uncertainty about Snowden's revelations and motivations in the public mind.
There is zero public evidence across the entirety of science and human knowledge that suggests any of the claims are even possible. Everything we know about the universe and technology on earth says this isn’t possible. Either the government that isn’t even capable of keeping it spy secrets secret manages to keep this evidence secret along with every other nation on the planet, or someone is being dishonest or ill.
All the more reason to have a human in control. When you are on the hook to release the feature then you really don't want to start crashing in the middle of the night.
I think you can download portable version of a Chromium-based browser and install any extension you want on it.

The students just use GPT within class because they are completely shameless. I'd have to sit behind them and watch their screens like a prison guard. I haven't resigned myself to that so far.

I think the more reasonable solution is to just wait for the university to take active measures against it, and accept that this is just a new development in how students cheat, which they have always done. The fact that the administrators are dumping this all on teachers and TAs is totally unfair to the actual workers.
I don't think MixedReality will ever go mainstream, but I think it will have a long tail of niches that it is extremely successful in (Training, 3D Design, Gaming, exercise, etc).

For general productivity, I feel that the laptop and external monitor is the sweet spot for the peak of computing. All other optimizations have given diminishing returns.

For consumption, the mobile phone is the sweet spot.

I put up with a lot of jank and discomfort with my VR headset, because the feeling of Presence is so transformative in gaming, exercise, and entertainment for me. I don't think the majority of people will choose that trade-off on a regular basis, especially in social environments.
Yeah, and if you put one in some kind of "spy balloon" you could also use it to map secret underground structures that may or may not exist in certain parts of the US ;)

I can second that. I prefer password logins over magic links via email. It adds too much friction. I can understand that it might be easier for people who are not using a password manager.

For most services I prefer a combination of password and authy-based 2FA. For very specific purposes, some kind of hardware-based authentication, for example with yubikeys makes sense.
This is good for everyone except other automakers: new owners, existing owners if they choose to upgrade, and the environment. Every unit sold is likely to displace a combustion vehicle somewhere. Ship the metal!

Correct. Not sure why the OP is getting downvoted as that was a reasonable question. It would be easy to mix up which of "Ublock" and "Ublock Origin" should be used.
I don't. It's common knowledge that the government consumes huge volumes of social media data that people willfully give away. It's information that is far more invasive into their private lives than anything the government could come up with on their own via their 3 letter agencies, yet people do it anyway. That ship sailed a long time ago in the name of convenience. All outrage past that point is simply performative.
This is a pretty lazy analogy. Mobile phones were already carried by a large majority of adults when the iPhone came out. The iPhone didn't prove that everyone needed a cell phone, or even that smart phones / camera phones were a valid market (remember Blackberry? Palm Treo? Windows Mobile? Sidekick?) it just made a much better phone and mobile OS than anyone else had up to that point.

And it introduced a number of killer features that were immediately apparent:
-GPS for navigation (almost immediately made Tom Toms in cars obsolete) with Google Maps
-Pinch to zoom for the pre-responsive mobile web, with full HTML websites on device
-Glass touch haptics with gestures: pinch, double tap, swipe up/down/right/left, etc
-Unlimited data back when it was unheard of
-Unlimited text messaging back when it was rare
-Solid camera experience with both front and back facing camera
-Complete iPod replacement with built-in iTunes, a killer app at the time with no peer
-Visual voicemail
-A usable touch screen keyboard, with intuitive multi-touch controls
-HTML email
-YouTube app built-in
-Accelerometer for orientation-based controls
-Proximity and ambient light sensors
-Apps, apps, apps. Although App Store wasn't immediately ready for 1st gen iPhone, it was apparent that apps were coming and that they would be amazing, with plenty of built-in 1st and 3rd party apps at launch. Every other mobile phone that implemented apps up to that point did so with a ton of red tape and licensing fees

When the iPhone was announced by Jobs in 2007, it was 5 years ahead of any other phone on the market.

The Vision Pro, on the other hand, pitches itself as a $3500 monitor replacement, I guess? It doesn't even have one killer app. You could feel the hype and excitement for the original iPhone on day one.

Maybe Vision Pro will evolve into something killer in the 2nd or 3rd generation offering. But as it stands, I'm not seeing the vision.
Yep. This is why I ignore sales and other promotional pricing.
"Makes me think what an Apple Car would be like."

Probably very expensive.

But wasn't there some rumor already some time ago, that apple wanted to make a car?

But cars are a different ballpark, than consumer electronics. So they are likely cautious to not burn their money there.
Here is the responce with GPT-4 and it reading the links itself:

Based on the documentation from OpenBSD's PF and spamd manual pages, and with the assumption that the network interfaces are already configured correctly on the server, here is an example of a `pf.conf` configuration that could satisfy your requirements. This configuration will:

1. Block all traffic by default.
2. Allow traffic from the local host.
3. Allow DNS resolution.
4. Allow NTP and SSH out from the DMZ.
5. Allow HTTP and HTTPS to pass through to the web server.
6. Allow SMTP traffic that has been whitelisted by spamd to pass to the mail server.

```pf.conf
# Define network interfaces
ext_if = "em0" # replace with your external interface
dmz_if = "em1" # replace with your DMZ interface
local_if = "lo0"

# Define ports
web_ports = "{ http, https }"
ssh_port = "22"
ntp_port = "123"
dns_ports = "{ 53, 853 }"
smtp_port = "25"

# Default deny policy
block all

# Allow all traffic from the local host
pass quick on $local_if all

# Allow DNS resolution
pass out on $ext_if proto { tcp, udp } to any port $dns_ports keep state

# Allow NTP and SSH out from the DMZ
pass out on $dmz_if proto tcp to any port $ssh_port keep
state
pass out on $dmz_if proto udp to any port $ntp_port keep
state

# Allow HTTP and HTTPS to the web server
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to ($ext_if) port $web_ports
flags S/SA keep state

# Allow SMTP traffic that has been whitelisted by spamd to
pass to the mail server
table <spamd-white> persist
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from <spamd-white> to any port
$smtp_port flags S/SA keep state
```

Please replace "em0" and "em1" with the correct external and DMZ interfaces respectively.

This configuration starts with a default block policy, then includes specific pass rules for local traffic, DNS, SSH, NTP, web server traffic, and whitelisted SMTP traffic. The `quick` keyword makes PF stop processing rules on the first match, which is useful for high-priority traffic like local traffic. The `keep state` keyword makes PF remember the state of each connection, allowing return traffic to pass. The `flags S/SA` checks the TCP flags in the packet, helping to prevent certain types of attacks.

I was unable to find a direct reference to spamd in the PF documentation, but based on the spamd man page and other resources, it seems that spamd can be used to manage a whitelist of approved senders, which is stored in the <spamd-white> table in PF. You would need to configure spamd separately to manage this table.

Note: This is a simplified example and might need to be adjusted based on your exact network setup, especially if you have more complex needs like multiple subnets or additional services to support.
Good point, but IMO mechanical programmable keyboard with hardware shortcuts are the way to go. That way you can remap to one-handed, or even one button, or whatever you like. You can even take it with you between machines. It's like a portable "human interface" that stays with you.

Computer designed in 2022 made to look like 1977
Gravity force is proportional to mass and the average density of submarine is close to water density so (possibly slightly less as positive bouyancy is preferable for safety reasons) so gravity force produced by submarine should be very close to the equivalent volume of water. So instead of detecting big chunk of metal (which is still relatively small for the scale of gravity), sensor would have to be sensitive enough to detect mass distribution within submarine or the minor density difference due to slight positive bouyancy.
My (unchecked) understanding is that carpal tunnel comes about because of the angle of the wrist and the repetitive pushing itself.

If there are no keys to press wouldn’t you have no reason to exert force, and no need to angle your wrist or brace your hand?
