My dream is a tenkeyless membrane, i.e. all keys in the usual size and layout but simply w/o numpad. Somehow our bloated over-consuming society won't make one.

Kerouac's "On the Road" and "Big Sur" nicely book-end the ebullience of youth and the disillusion/dissolution of middle-age.

Imagine if BLAS had to be frozen and run from a container.

The homework is, in part, a personality test to see how much the company will be able to take advantage of an applicant. This may or may not not be the intent, but it is a result.

My solution (on a desktop) was to temporarily switch from a right handed mouse to using an ambidextrous trackball with my left hand, and a wrist rest for both my keyboard and trackball. I am _not_ ambidextrous. I also wore a custom made wrist rest-splint while working and sleeping. After a year or so, I returned to a right handed mouse and continue to use a gel filled wrist rest for both the keyboard and mouse. If using a full sized keyboard, get one without a numpad.

Get a rest-splint for your wrist. Your injuries will not heal without rest.

EDIT: remembered my wrist-splint was bespoke

Sorry

Sod roofs

That would be _malpractice_.

Seeing as we are unable or unwilling to deal with the present micro and nano-particles resulting from decades of plastic use and disposal, I worry about the environmental effects of graphene.

  Does it account for relativity?
  No, the physics in Universe Sandbox ² is currently only
  Newtonian.

  Why?
  The short answer is that you need a supercomputer to
  accurately simulate general relativity.
  Jenn, astrophysicist and Universe Sandbox ² developer,
  explains more in a blog post: "General relativity 
  requires simulating the spacetime itself. That is,
  taking your simulation space, discretizing it to a 
  hi-res 3-D grid and checking the effect that each and
  every point in that grid has on all neighboring points
  at every timestep. Instead of simulating N number of
  bodies, you are simulating a huge number of points.
  You start with some initial data of the shape of your
  spacetime and then see how it evolves according to the
  Einstein equations, which are 10 highly non-linear
  partial differential equations."

  We are, however, interested in adding in a few features
  which would address some effects of relativity. One 
  example is setting gravity to travel at the speed of
  light, instead of instantaneously taking effect as it
  currently does. You can read more about these in 
  Jenn's blog post: Gravitational Waves & Universe
  Sandbox ².

Thanks
