My current favorite keyboard is a Unicomp Mini M, and my collection includes a couple of IBM Model Ms, which I grew up typing on.

It's basically a slightly nicer mechanical tenkeyless than the original IBM SSK: lighter, slimmer, native USB, and more simultaneous keypresses, but still hefty and solid, with the same buckling spring action and wonderful curved backplate.

Unicomp's brand new Model M keyboards are also quite affordable by custom keyboard standards: $125 for a New Model M, $150 for a buckling spring Mac keyboard, and $150 for the excellent Mini M.

I have some of the more common, modular custom keyboards with the Cherry-compatible switches and all that. By and large, they're more expensive and more work to get into an agreeable actuation force range if you're used to dealing with real buckling spring switches. At the same time, the actuation force curve is never quite right because the 'tactile bump' of such a switch always involves a brief spike in actuation force instead of the regular increase and then collapsing action you get with a buckling spring.

If you've never used a buckling spring keyboard, you may find that you prefer some of the newer switches, especially the ones that don't imitate the 'clickiness' or heaviness of IBM/Unicomp buckling spring switches. But IMHO a brand new buckling spring keyboard is not just cheaper but plain better to type on them any of the more expensive, more 'modern' options.
Strava has the same kind of problems - many of the casual userbase just want to maintain accountability and get kudos from their friends: "Hooray, you kept your heart rate in the fat burn zone for 45 minutes!" Casual Strava users don't care about the top 1% hunting KOMs at the limits of human capacity. Therefore the Strava dev team don't care about that 1% .And the 5% who inadvertently leave their device recording when they drive away from the park, not to mention the 0.1% who ride a bike just above the running KOM to cheat back their record, completely ruin it.

It's very difficult to build a platform capable of fighting intentional fraud, especially when you have limited control of what your users are doing. It's completely hopeless if that fraud has limited impact on your business. Users with limited moderation/review tools trying to fight fraud are fighting a losing battle.
I know we can point at benchmarks and things like that, all I'm saying is that my personal experience is that I spent a decade trying to find something as good as my top-spec 2012 macbook air, which is pretty depressing. Note obviously I also went via the horribly broken keyboard era of macbook pros. Eventually I settled on a X1 carbon, and then a couple of years later the ARM macbooks came out, but I can't justify buying a new laptop out of cycle if my current one works.
The first few times I submitted suggested patches to the Linux kernel (before semi-automated submissions through the LKML were possible), I had a dialog with the maintainer (Ted Tso in this case). Once he was satisfied with the correctness of my work, he incorporated the patch and all was good. I never asked for, nor received any credit. I was solely interested in improving the kernel and not interested in getting my name in there. (My name ended up in the contributors list anyway for something else a few years later, but I never cared one way or the other.)
I have had my bugfixes rejected for superficial reasons and then immediately re-enacted by the project owner so many times I no longer even bother contributing to public github repositories.

Now I just fix my own copy and wish others luck doing likewise.

Makes me wonder if maybe funding github is part of Microsoft's long vision for the death of open source.
Actually, you will just need to train it with known physics books and run a long-long-long inference with the chain of thoughts on the topics. There will be lot of trail and errors and there will be lot of experimentation required as well, so you'd better be ready to build an interface for AGI to monitor the experiments. It takes time you know ...

That's a funny thing to tell to your kid that he's now an outcast in his school because everyone plays that Battlefield game — but his dad "does not favor" EA.
That isn't the point. When the union is involved, they keep demanding hire wages and benefits and it gets to the point where companies are better-off offshoring.

Just look at the automotive industry. They have not only been offshoring, but the unions have strangled them to the point where it nearly destroyed the industry.

I will only buy non-US cars as a result of this (mostly because of poor qualit).
I suspect you are not familiar with farmer cooperatives. They are not employee cooperatives. They are corporatives of private farmers.
The one thing missing here imho is skepticism about the sources and their biases. They can be both factually wrong and also biased.

I could be wrong about this, but I think the Suda is somewhat questionable, isn't it?

> but you’re also missing that the US has more stringent safety standards that significantly drive up weight.

Source for that? From this 2015 study[1], it doesn't seems to be the case at all in practice. (And maybe it the safety regulation has tightened up in the US since 2015, but the car size difference had already existed for at least the past 2 decades at this point). In any case, given the car fatality rate in the US compared to the EU[2], these regulation seem pretty ineffective (no amount of car safety can compensate for the very low driving skill in the US, caused by very lenient driving license requirements compared to European ones).

Also, I don't know how US safety rules apply but that would be pretty stupid if cars capped to 50km/h were subject to the same requirements as highway-ready cars.

The impact of unionization on the customers/consumers should be considered, too.

My experiences dealing with unionized workforces in Canada as a customer/consumer have generally not been good at all.

Such workers often exhibit tremendous inefficiency, a lack of care, and disinterest. This results in low-quality service/work, and a bad experience for the customers/consumers involved.

This is particularly noticeable when dealing with government employees who are unionized, such as public school teachers, some public hospital staff, the police, public transit system staff, and bureaucrats.

Unionization in such cases creates an environment where there's no incentive to perform well, as there's pretty much no downside to the unionized worker for providing terrible service.

While private sector unionization can result in a similarly-bad customer/consumer experience, at least there's often some degree of competition involved, which can give customers/consumers an alternative when service is remarkably awful. The bad service isn't as unavoidable as it is in the case of the public sector.

The content out of Hollywood matches this pattern, too. I've found it to be among the least-entertaining, least-interesting, and lowest-quality content around. I've had much better results with content from small, non-unionized, independent creators.
> Optimizing the service order and their dependencies does wonders for boot time.

Why isn't this automatic? I'm pretty sure most of us have neither expertise not enthusiasm for that job.
Who knows how long this would have been unaddressed without Ariel Miculas initial input.

Part of the job of a maintainer is to curate and foster input so the project has a robust community in the future.

The maintainer in this case did a miserable job of that.

> Read my other comment about the "unnamed source". You just eat up the propaganda from the legacy media.

You failed to present any basis for your personal assertion, and instead you only doubled-down on accusatory conspiracy theories. That's not the ideal reaction to someone pointing out your conspiracy theory is unsubstantiated and unsourced.

A little rational, objective thinking goes a long way.
Maybe the connection to this topic won't be obvious, but I used to read Animal Farm and think that the Donkey was supeior to the Horse. Nowadays I don't think that anymore. The Horse was never alone for a day in his life. The Donkey survived the Horse but was left alone. So I now think "I will work harder" is the right approach most of the time.

We don't have race and gender blind life so what would this even look like? When you are asking me not to see something that I can perceive very clearly, I cannot call that wisdom.
Enjoyed that discussion. It raised certain issues that are not often mentioned:

- Keeping pets in unnatural confined domestic habitats is oppressive to the animal and wasteful in food and health costs.

- Free range farm animals may have the best lives (social and natural environment), pampered by the farmer (until humane slaughter), and be the only way to exploit some habitats (hill farms with sheep on scarce grass over thin soils cannot be replaced by wheat or corn).

- A life of freedom with a cheap humane death is a worthy goal for us all.
I want a keyboard with a touchpad beneath the space bar, like the laptops.

It is very nice to have everything in front of you and have space on your right / left for a paper notebook.

Or if Microsoft hadn't used anti-competitive practices to ensure a system like BeOS would have trouble getting traction. Bundling agreements with OEMs and whatnot.

>Lord, what I would give to see Haiku gain real traction

I think the only thing we can give right now is our time and money. Porting applications, porting to different hardware platforms, spreading the word, etc.
I don't think extrapolating "one person who acts badly not being much of a loss" to "all maintainers should leave" is a good interpretation of what was said.
In a way, I don't even consider floating point errors to be "flaws" with an algorithm like this. If the code defines a logical, mathematically correct solution, then its "right". Solving floating point errors is a step above this, and only done in certain circumstances where it actually matters.

You can imagine some perfect future programming language where floating point errors don't exist, and don't have to be accounted for. Thats the language I'm targeting with 99% of my algorithms.
> Yes, Taskwer has elements of both. As I said in my previous comment, it's different from GoFundMe in a way that campaign creators don't have to ask for donations, instead, they can offer services to people in their community.

There are two clear ways to do this: charity or work. GoFundMe is charity, TaskRabbit/etc is work. Unless you can communicate very clearly why the middle ground of not-charity-not-work is better, I don't think you'll be able to compete with service that have a much clearer proposition.

I've read your post/comment and I don't really understand the difference between this and GoFundMe/TaskRabbit. It seems some users would use it as basically a TaskRabbit replacement, and some would over-value their time because it's sort of a donation platform. If I (and others on this thread) have read a lot of detail about the platform and don't understand the core value, I don't think someone reading a ~10 word advert will on Facebook will, and that's the format you'll need to be able to win on.

I suggest coming up with a very succinct way of pitching the service that makes it obviously better than a job or charity (both of which have many existing solutions). I wish you the best of luck with that.

Not a duplicate (maybe read the articles first?). And even if it is, keep this news on the front page until the end of the trial. It's by far the most important thing going on in the tech space right now, except maybe the anti-trust suit against Amazon (which should also be front-page every day once that trial starts)

Absolutely possible. People don't want their standard of living to suffer, and when offered a loan to keep it up, many will take it. I could have accidentally graduated with substantially more debt than I did. I was offered more loan money than I truly needed. I took it all my first year. Wasted it. Realized it. Didn't accept the loans the last three years.
I’m going to say you edited or amended you comment because that second paragraph wasn’t there , if it was. I was so underwhelmed with the first I guess I didn’t bother with the second.
Breathing and blood oxygen at a minimum, for the take-home tests. If you go into a sleep lab, they also wire you up to an EEG as well to monitor your brain activity.

They're not just looking for blood oxygen to drop. They're also looking at how many times you wake up due to airway obstructions. Even if you wake yourself up before your blood oxygen drops, waking up 50+ times/night (this would be considered "mild", btw) is not good for your brain either.

But yes, you need a sleep study to be diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Sure, but it's also generally a lot easier to tell if a simple code is correct (the loop over powers of 10) than the more complex ones (using log and pow); especially when it comes to edge conditions.

Go to where your users are.

Reach out to the local service providers individually and tell them about your service. You will get users if they see value in what you're offering. It's not scalable, but you need users to better help you understand the product you need to be offering.

Now, some feedback on the product. Imagining myself as a local service provider, I don't see how the service would help me land gigs or make my life any easier. As a service provider, I would still have to do all the self-promotion. I like that cash payments are accepted.

If I were looking to provide services to the local community, I would get as engaged with the community as much as possible. There are all the free places to advertise online like Facebook, Craigslist, Nextdoor, etc. Locally, there are bulletin boards in community gathering places like churches, community centers, libraries that are intended for this sort of things. Some of these organizations even maintain lists of service providers as well.

Another option would be printing flyers up and just going around your neighborhood leaving them in the door. I hired a handyman this way - one of my neighbors. He was between jobs and he was looking to fill up his schedule until he landed another full time gig. I talked to him for a bit and he said he had gotten a few jobs from his local door-to-door promotion work.
The meme was that fusion was always 30 years away. This is obviously a lot closer, so if nothing else it doesn't deserve to be tarred with that brush.
Ah yes, the economy. The thing we all need to endlessly sacrifice our lives for out of fear something terrible will happen otherwise. A fear that those in power yield continually like a stick that is very rarely backed up by facts and sensible ideas. The same economy that is leading to massive wealth inequality regardless of how much people work to stop being beaten by the stick.

> ...opening up co-ops.

Word.

IIRC: SEIU, or equally large org, has been funding employee co-ops.

Also IIRC: Richard Wolfe coined worker directed social enterprises (WDSE) to encompass all the democracy and co-op notions.

Having done some (very modest) workplace democracy, and seen the results, I'm very bullish. I read Wolfe's book Democracy at Work when it came out. It was a (very modest) good start. But needed a lot more work developing the ideas. Especially wrt governance and operations.

Enough time has passed, I should circle back and see how things have progressed.

> Unions ironically act very conservative these days.

In multiple ways.

In the US, the transition from representing predominately white middle class blue collar workers to representing all workers has been very bumpy.

Labor in the US would be so much further along today if unions had also abandoned their commitment to the Cold War Consensus when Capital did. Anti labor measures like NAFTA should have been wake up calls.
This doesn't appear to be just a PR stunt to me given that Nucor is also directly investing $35 million in Helion as part of the agreement. If you're going to post the usual fusion naysayer comment I think you should at least address this part of the announcement as well.
"Perhaps then we should make all contributions anonymized, so that we can ensure people are contributing for what we think are the "right" reasons".
The only way I communicate with drivers when I'm a pedestrian, or biker is by eye contact, voice and hand gestures. When driverless cars can translate these, I'll be interested. Until then, the idea of robo-vehicles whirling around me completely unresponsive to my human communication methods gives me great concern.

One look at newsfeed tells you it’s ad revenue now. Quality has nothing to do with it unless you define quality as clickbait.

I think you've missed the point. Having categories is not the problem. Getting beaten by more talented riders, able to skilfully make of drafting is not a problem either.

The problem is that the categories are designed in such a way that heavier riders are allowed to put out more power than lighter riders.

At the limits of what the category allows the lighter riders just can not win. If they do put out more power then they get disqualified and bumped up a category.

Moving up a category does not help you and in most races you are not allowed to race against lower cat riders because of power limits are enforced.

In open category races you'll be racing against Cat A riders and they're going win because they have more power than you.

So if you race in Zwift and you're not Cat A, you either have to be the heaviest in your race or accept that you won't get on a podium. Ever.
Sounds like you are the problem, I don't see what is Microsoft's hand in this.
Thought leadership - get into social media, share your opinions (especially the tough ones) that led you to create this. Post 5x a day on many platforms. Take courses in social media and promotion.

> Would you rather those companies be startups whos employees are potentially more aware of the impact of what they’re building or just some big company that’s been making weapons since the MIC started?

I don't care what the mindset of the people making the weapons is, the end result is the same. If you help build the war machine, you are personally culpable for the damage it does.

There is a limited labor market, our skills are in high demand. Protesting the creation of military tech can most definitely have a very real impact.
So the maintainer now has to tutor this guy for god knows how long until he gets it right? All three issues brought up by kazinator are reasonable grounds for ignoring the patch. Do you think that the already overworked maintainers should have to spend significant amounts of their time tutoring every potential contributor? Are you going to pay them for that?
At least node has a variable to disable checks globally.
Great links. Thanks for sharing. But I don't know that they are incompatible.
Since the article states that they're using Raft and not ZAB for the consensus algorithm and leader election, it must be less prone to bugs when it comes to electing a leader. Since Raft is easier to reason about and the leader election process is more straightforward (Raft minimizes the chance that any two nodes will be candidates at the same time and thus avoids starting multiple concurrent elections).
First, great looking website!

On first blush, it seems like this is more in the line of Nextdoor, neighbors helping neighbors, but with some money changing hands. I'd go in that direction.
The comment you're responding to said the guy was copying the wrong language at times. Code that won't even compile isn't making it into the app store.
Redox is IMO trying to do too much at once. I'm not sure about Essence, but this seems to be a common failing of new OS efforts. A new kernel would be a monumental achievement. Even a new windowing system would be awesome. Reinventing everything else at the same time is madness. Hopefully it's fun, but it's certainly not conducive to success, afaict. Some things might be easier to reimplement than to port, but how many cases are like that? All in all I'd be more excited about a new OS that reuses more existing open source code, as it'd be likely to become usable sooner.
I don't think they are boiling it. It read to me like they're just evaporating the water in some efficient way, rather than boiling.
