It’s like chess boxers: they’re not the best chess players or the best boxers. Being hot and being a guitarist is a cross-discipline. :-D
The difference there is you can just look at the numbers and see that climate change is a slow-motion catastrophe. No amount of spin or storytelling can change the facts that temps are rising, icecaps are melting, Canadian forests are incinerating at record levels, etc. etc.
The learning process is pretty normal, other than that you have a vague idea of where keys are if you're already touch typer, which is to say it's incredibly frustrating... until it's not.

How long it takes probably depends on the person but I'd say if you actually force yourself to use it you'd probably feel comfortable on it in less than a month. To me it wasn't really much of a choice. It was one of many changes I had to make to help deal with RSI.

A lot of people use standard keyboards their entire life without issue. If you're not experiencing issues with a standard keyboard, why make things harder on yourself than necessary?
I do not understand why this term is offensive.

Is it the “illegal” part? Well, it is illegal, so…

Is it the “alien” part? Why? Do people think we are comparing people to lanky green invaders? I can’t see this — we have plenty of words with two meanings that don’t get conflated.

I dislike these language games. They are simply a forced litmus test for political leanings.
> I can definitely taste the difference between charcoal and briquettes

Yes I agree. I either use lump charcoal, or hardwood that I let burn down to embers. Briquettes impart an unpleasant flavor.
I'd say the monks and the society they represented were the winners in the middle to long term, after all the vikings that had gotten to the Loire and those whereabouts ended up speaking French and "becoming" French themselves, and not the other way round.
A dupe software already exists. Stories would be marked as dupe and dead, if you have showdead on.
>How do you verify that? The only way is to redo the all work from scratch, refound all the historical references and cross-validate each of them. It's a huge work.

Sorry, but if the paper doesn't make its case, it isn't an academic work. If it needs to be 1,000 papers in order to explain why its assertions are reliable, great, that's 1,000 good papers to write. :)*
This is one of the many publications of Ken Iverson available on the J wiki. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Books/MathForTheLayman J was the language that Ken created with Roger Hui and others after developing APL.
I had learned touch-typing (for a non-qwerty layout), so using a keyboard where the keys are in columns isn't so difficult.

I suspect it's difficult for the "quick hunt-and-peck", where your fingers can quickly hunt down the keys on the staggered rows, but aren't trained to follow finger-per-column that the classic touch-typing discipline encourages.

> ... including all the punctuation characters

It's actually not so bad. The symbols associated with 0-9 stay in the same positions as you put 0-9. This leaves `, -=, [], /\. You can put [] near (), or in some other way that makes sense; you can put /\ together. ` I tend to have on a pinky finger. -- Rather, I'd say there are ways of arranging the symbols so that it retains what you're familiar with, or has an improved association to it.

> ... the more I was struggling with more classic ones ...

When I was learning a non-qwerty layout, I struggled using either qwerty or dvorak. Eventually, my motor memory was able to sort it out. -- Although, I think using different layouts on the same keyboard is very confusing.
WinNT isn't Win95.

Lots of MS groups were using C++ before Win95, including the Exchange group.

Windows for Workgroups 3.1+ included C++ code.

I recall that in the initial Win95 group meeting, C++ wasn't allowed. I moved to another team, so I don't know if that restriction was relaxed or not and/or when they allowed C++.

The email client included with Win95 wasn't allowed to use C++, including the RichEdit windows control, which had to use C for OLE code - not many other codebases could boast about that - no one signs up for that sort of masochism by choice.
That might actually be making things worse for longer articles. It probably would be better would be to index them separately and aggregate back to article level post query
Not the same time period. Art Nouveau started in the 1890s and was exhausted by the time of the start of the First World War (1914). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau

Art Déco first appeared in 1910, and became much more popular in the 1920s, after the end of WWI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Deco

You're right, he was around in the 1800s. What is the bookmaker model?

But this solves my curiosity then, darwinian views of race developed to accomodate for the moral cognitive dissonance people faced after centuries of slavery and colonialism. But colonialism in africa wad not popular until after darwin.

Keep in mind, while I don't accept his views of evolution, I am specifically talking about people taking that and considering africans and other non-whites as less evolved species that need to be unsavaged.

I did not absolve people of faith either, but missionairies for example Used the cause of conversion, but the faith does not allow for non-human conversion and it would be heresy to claim any human was not a descendant of both adam and noah.

It was partly or mainly for this reason why the underground railroad and other "racial" equality and anti-slavery movements up until the 1960s were all faith based movements. While the white supremacists considered anyone with 1/8th black in them inferior and less evolved (and they also do try to shim that darwinian view into protestanism)
If you read carefully the GP is just paraphrasing the quoted paragraph in a different tone.

The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax is the ultimate spy novel.
95% of opponents I have met playing bridge are very nice, but the remaining 5% are a very distastefully "boomer" form of nasty. This is particularly memorable for younger people.

Also, a lot of players expect you to "put in your time" so to speak. If you don't alert properly or if you are using weird systems but asking basic questions, that really pisses off a lot of them. Frankly, the alerts are a big issue - not alerting a "weird" bid can be a huge advantage - but the rules around it are nuts.

Every game has its bad apples, though. I doubt you get that ratio playing chess or trading card games.
I mean, there is even no reason to emit a single instruction. However it would be helpful for the unconditional UB to turn to a trap (in fact, UB is particularly bad because some of them won't have a visible effect for a long time). Given clang and LLVM does emit ud2 for traps from UB, I think this could also have become ud2 but it somehow didn't.
8k should be the realm of almost exclusively upscaled content, and this should be the pitch. Don’t worry about 8k content, it just makes 4k better.
Which, in this world, can happen. The part that irks me the most isn't so much that, but that Mozilla is more than happy to suckle at that teat and not change the current status quo.
If they would have expanded it beyond CSAM, in that instance I would have joined the rest of the internet on the picket lines protesting against the system.

The point of the system would've been that EVERYONE'S content would've been encrypted in the cloud without them needing to do anything.
I'm curious what "native" means in write-good's description: "Naive linter for English prose for developers who can't write good and wanna learn to do other stuff good too." It appears to require a node server.

how did you get 80% and 18% numbers from that link?..

also, calories is not the only metric of nutrition load..
Seems like someone needs to make a separate revival, WiiLink revives Japanese-exclusive channels from Nintendo themselves. And didn't Joysound launch outside Japan in 2012?
Cross platform is less and less important nowadays. When was the last time your phone ran a Java application natively? As in you had a legit JVM on your phone?

Everything is cross-compiled or cross-translated to something else. I write C# for Unity and it translates it to something that'll run on iOS, which definitely doesn't have the CLR natively in it.
There are tons of dupes that don't get killed.
I was using the Kinesis Advantage 2 (KA2) for the longest while 8+ years now, and then recently upgraded to the Kinesis Advantage 360 and the KA2 was still hands down the best keyboard that I used. I still switch between the KA2 and KA360 but the KA360 is as mentioned plagued with so many issues, from the bluetooth connection issues all the way to setting the keymap using the ZMK software. I would still recommend the KA2 for most users and also the best bang for the buck if you can get one used or refurbished. The split also doesn't make as big of a difference as it seemed at least from my proportions.

> Based on what?

Based on the consensus on how much we need to cut our CO2 emissions, and on checking orders of magnitudes on "what we can do before degrowth" (which generally implies replacing fossil fuels with something else, which generally implies extrapolating numbers or hoping for non-existing technology).

> We already have optimistic signs in developed countries

It's too late to be optimistic unfortunately. We don't need to slightly reduce emissions per capita, we need to drastically cut them.

> As others have said, no idea how you impose degrowth short of dictatorship

Oh I agree with that (especially in the US). I think we are going towards global world instability, wars and famines (even in developed countries) in our lifetime. Doesn't mean I cannot wish we got reasonable for our own sake.

The only thing that can save us is controlled degrowth. Which is a very challenging problem. Yet too many are hoping for CO2 capture and miracle technology. Society will probably collapse, but that sucks.
I live that two phones lifestyle. One is being iPhones SE 1st Gen., the smallest one; another is being Google Nexus 6P ¹

While in theory that works, in practice I bear just iPhone all the time. With Android on the shelf most of its time. I even started to turn off its Wi-Fi so it keeps being alive after a week of being untouched.

1 — I’m the lucky one who hadn’t been bootlooped, so I’m not on Pixel yet. Both phones are enough for me, performance wise.
Getting the mutant home server gaming in a VM (Proxmox Home Server)
Yeah totally, but sometimes I just really want that random component right now and RadioShack was there to save the day.

They also had stuff for other hobbies like RC cars which Mouser doesn’t really cater to.

Mouser also has a sea of crap I have to wade through.
> Severance was not included in Twitter's employee contract.

It likely was once promises were made to continue to pay severance for at least one year, and employees relied upon this promise (instead of immediately seeking to work elsewhere).
I'm bullish on RISC-V, but sort of bearish on SiFive. The last several systems I've used have been StarFive systems (which is distinct from SiFive.) They (SiFive) seem to be more of a custom IP shop, where you go when you want to spin some custom silicon but not pay ARM. But now that we've broken with China re: chip production, is there anyone on this side of the pacific I can get catalog parts from?

So... their cores are great, but if I'm only going to see them if I write a very large check to SiFive, they're sort of irrelevant to my world. I would love to have SiFive IP that doesn't use Rocket/Scala/Chisel and does produce catalog parts.

That could be just me. I enjoy getting my hands dirty.

I highly recommend low profile switches for those who haven't tried them. They weren't really available in many models until recently and they're a big step up from standard switches if you're more used to laptops.
In this regard a UPI transaction is the same as a cash transaction. AFAICT it does not handle payment disputes. You can use a credit card if it provides protection against this but now you need to be sure the credit card company is not scamming you (say by charging you bogus fees). As far as I am concerned using a credit card changes nothing when it comes to fraud protection.

Very true. My family had our Wii since 2006 (according to the Wii Message Board), and we really loved it. I'm glad people are reviving these channels, it makes the Wii much more than a paperweight in 2023.
Architects don't see or touch normal residential houses. They only get called in to work on high end custom homes.

Normal residential homes are designed and built by companies that are devoid of real architects and engineers, and specialize in doing things as cheaply and quickly as inhumanly possible and at mass scales. Production building companies are totally happy to break as many laws as they can in the process, so long as they don't get caught, or the fines are sufficiently low enough that it just becomes just a part of doing business.

There's a zero— and I mean absolutely zero— percent chance the government would not respond to a large armed protest with a very heavily armed national guard, with lawyers starting on the paperwork to handle millions of dollars in collateral damage from artillery before the boots even touched the ground.
Same. I’m actually skeptical of some of the claims, particularly in regards to ortholinear/column stagger key arrangements. In particular I feel like this actually makes the layout worse in some situations. For example, consider the `in` bigram in qwerty. It’s one of the most common bigrams in English, and if you switch to most ergo boards, the distance between those keys will _increase_ which will require a bigger stretch for your index and middle finger, and consequently reduce your ergonomics (at least for that bigram).

HHKB JP is very nice in that it has a slightly reduced row stagger, is a single board, and has extra thumb keys which can be remapped to for layers or moving things such as shift or backspace into more comfortable positions.

IMO academic Historians love when their hypotheses are challenged, it shows a path for further understanding history, and writing an article with a richer narrative.

That’s what I saw during my History degree from my professors and the books i read.
For downvoters: I mean, for me of course it's a good thing that some people risk their lives in order for me to have a stable feature, but I don't really understand the motivation.
I only have two kinds of keyboards: a regular 94 key Mechanical Keyboard and the Glove80. My accuracy/speed is now equal on both for QWERTY after 3 weeks. It is confusing to switch between Colemak-DH back to QWERTY on the same keyboard. I'll fix the Glove80 to Colemak-DH and use QWERTY everywhere else.
The Kuwaiti oil fires were caused by the Iraqi military setting fire to a reported 605 to 732 oil wells along with an unspecified number of oil filled low-lying areas...The fires were started in January and February 1991, and the first oil well fires were extinguished in early April 1991, with the last well capped on November 6, 1991.

It was predicted by experts that the fires would burn for between two and five years before losing pressure and going out on their own.

Although scenarios that predicted long-lasting environmental impacts on a global atmospheric level due to the burning oil sources did not transpire, long-lasting ground level oil spill impacts were detrimental to the environment regionally.

Over the years, I have read story after story after story where the initial predictions were extremely dire and everyone was extremely upset and concerned and when things got cleared up in relatively short order, there was no celebration on par with the amount of bellyaching that occurred. But if you try to say anything like that, you get dismissed as a clueless nutter who just does not understand how bad things are.

So regardless of how bad it really is, we still are emphasizing things in a way that is inaccurate and excessively negative.
The fact that this is needed is an undesirable outcome of federated protocols, I believe matrix also has this fault.

A good way to look at it is how it is similar to email and moving between webmail providers.

But therein is the distinction between decentralized and federated. In a perfect world, my identity is owned entirely by me, independent of any central server. If I choose to have a different server host my data, all there should be needed is for both servers to authenticate my identity and confirm my transfer authorization and sync would be seamless. A read-only replica server should also be possible (selfhosted or random servers). I don't knoe the technical reasons why they don't do this.
I would not consider USA LEO illegally detaining or using excessive force comparable to the Kremlin ordering the arrest of a dissident's family members. One is an individual acting on ignorance, racism, or poor training while the other is a concerted regime effort to maintain control by scaring potential dissidents. The message being "even if you escape punishment we'll go after your family".
And pissing people off too little literally does nothing.
Not that I agree with the author's approach but I can also imagine the flipside where clubs and other organizations are slow to adapt and get upset that young people aren't joining and that the club is dying. So it seems like it's in everyone's best interest to at least cater to the growing younger population.
I still have some 5 1/4" floppies and I wanted to read them (if still possible at all). I still have an old drive, even an HD 1.2MB one.

However, it's literally impossible to find USB to 5 1/4" floppy interfaces now in Europe. I only found one outfit in the US that sells them, but they refused to ship to europe :(

If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it because I'm pretty lost now.. I have much old hardware but nothing that can drive a 5 1/4" floppy drive. It's mostly unixy stuff like HP9000's and Macs.
Are gender reveal parties some kind of human sacrificial ritual? The only time I hear about them is when someone is maimed or dead.
For me it's just absolutely unthinkable to spend money on software. Everything I've ever needed a computer for is covered with Free Software. Emacs almost does everything I've ever needed, and for IDE stuff it blows everything else out of the water. Never used JetBrains though so I can't compare the two.
It's funny how the whole thread has a repeating rythm:

"Long comment with lots of quotes and moderated tone explaining how it's all going to shit, and fast"
"Bullshit, a mosquito bit me yesterday"

Such answers really sound and read like classic denial. On the other hand, it's a very classic human reaction in the face of oblivion. otherwise, not only is humanity coming to an end, but additionally one has a bad conscience. Unacceptable.
