Did you medicate for reflux?

Umm as per the article, it's not from Thailand at all? It's from Java/Indonesia?

Really cool.. and now i want a coding/terminal font with Pica-style numerals. Legibility of uppercase+numeral words looks clearly better in the couple of examples at the start.

Damn it's nice reading a simple static site like this. Links open instantly to the next fully laid out page of content. If only the rest of the web could be like this..

Be careful.. any measure becomes a target, and in doing so voids its usefulness. Getting a kernel patch in is probably already somewhat afflicted by this, but imagine the lkml if every Bay Area wannabe company started soft-requiring this as a screen!

Yep, it definitely is well above 'basememt full of model trains' on my (sadly far-off) list of retirement activities.

> What if your in-house engineers are morons but you need to have one particular project done correctly.

Then you sure as fuck don't want Deloitte within miles of it.

I know Iceberg has this same issue, but you state deletion in this way (recording tombstones) is sufficient for GDPR compliance - but is it really? The 'deleted' data is still trivially readable.

For me the ARM64 Linux Mac Mini equivalent is... a Mac Mini. Got my homelab server running as a vm in the cupboard, hooked to a couple of NVMes in a tiny Thunderbolt enclosure, works great.

> Type annotations don’t double productivity.

Obviously this post is still firmly in made up statistics land, but i agree with OP, in some cases they absolutely do.

New code written by yourself? No, probably not. But refactoring a hairy old enterprise codebase? Absolutely a 2×, 3× multiplier to productivity / time-to-correctness there.

> Also, are they aware that Australia is quite hot?

That's about as specific as saying the U.S. is quite hot.. you'd be interested to compare the cultures of Darwin and Melbourne or Hobart.

Quissh?

Similar experience (no rsi, 35, shit tier typing technique, bassist + pianist), same theory. Go get them fingers jacked!

It's not like it's bad, it's more like cutting down on the amount of systems you need to operate.

What i really want is a `mkdir --cd` - annoying to code without shadowing real mkdir though.

From memory, i think other recent research is along this approach, but not yet good enough. Cant remember where I read this but was likely HN. I think the posted paper got 95% accuracy when picking from a known set of target sentences/words, but far less (60%?) when used for freeform input.

I'm sure that's not the last word though!

I have but only once, would work again with him in a heartbeat. Absolute gold when you find a good one.

However your experience is not wrong: they're as rare as hens' teeth.

> While Apple argued it imposed those restrictions for security concerns and risks, Justice Beach ruled it remained anti-competitive.

> "The fact that Apple has imposed those centralised app distribution system for the purpose of protecting security, does not entail that there is not also a substantial anti-competitive purpose involved."

Hoping against all else that this forces Apple to build us a gate in the garden walls and allow other app stores. Platform control is market manipulation.

There are cases where iteration is clearer, and there are cases where recursion is clearer.

It's well worth being familiar with both - if you learn how to shoehorn both approaches where they aren't ideal, your judgement on avoiding such practices will improve. :)

> for some reason the expectation for LLMs is hands-off work

The expectation is the same as the expectation for self driving: users expect it to be fully hands off, even when they are explicitly told they need to keep their hands on the wheel.

This is because it's tricky, tedious, and unejoyable to thouroughly vet the actions of a machine in realtime.

> Mandarin Chinese does not have phonics instruction to my knowledge, and they can read just fine. So, perhaps English is just a difficult language to read and pronounce correctly -- even for native speakers?

I think your conclusion is right but that example is a bad one (though interesting). Chinese is not a phonetic language. Each symbol is a 'word', roughly. This means you can quite possibly read without knowing how it sounds. This is how the many Chinese languages co-exist - the written forms are roughly the same, it's just spoken with different sounds.

It's an interesting tangent on this topic because Chinese are starting to see a comparable literacy problem - inability to recall the written characters when hand-writing. This is because most writing these days is done by IMEs on computers and phones, where you actually DO input a phonetic latin 'word', and the IME turns it into the Chinese character you want.

I still read that as somewhat supporting your opinion - that purely phonetic languages are easier to learn, and that languages that are less phonetic (English) or completely unphonetic (Chinese) are harder. Whether that supports phonics or not? I'm not sure, personally i think it does, but your experience that it's still a difficult system is not wrong.

No, I'm pretty scrawny (for a westerner), stronger forearms from the childhood of piano though.

I have the same crank theory. I have shithouse typing technique - hands fly everywhere, whichever finger is closest, wrists move a fair bit, what's a home row? I stuck rubber o-rings under all my keys so bottoming out wasn't painful. My keyboard has the heaviest sprung switches i could find, and I'm still on the lookout for a heavier mechanism (e.g. literally a typewriter or piano type mechanism).

I also started learning piano at 4 and played daily until 25 or so. I still play other instruments but with different movements.

I am 35 and still have no hint of RSI or carpal tunnel (touch wood). I had a scare for a bit but turned out my mouse was just in a dumb position.

YMMV but the above informs my crank belief of 'move heaps, varied as much as possible, get strong fingers and forearms' being a viable approach.

N.B. A note on the bottoming out stuff: this was again inspired by my piano teacher who taught a technique of imagining pressing the piano keys 'through' the base, further than they move in reality. This was combined with the weight coming from your entire arm, fore, bicep, and shoulder, not from your fingers.

N.B.B. If anyone knows input methods that take this to extremes I'd love to know. I.E. something that involves moving your entire arm around. I've occasionally looked at jumbo-sized keyboard for those with learning and dexterity difficulties for example.

Entered with scepticism but left convinced. Looks very thoughtfully designed, nice!

I admit i do feel a bit uneasy about the rational numbers used in the definition, but i guess it doesn't matter for the purposes of this? And you do seem to have considered it. I still wonder if a less neat but integer-second or -millisecond definition might be useful, as round tripping could then be well defined i think? (If, as another poster hinted, you consider the interaction with leap seconds too)

> A job this week is no guarantee, legally or practically, of a job next week.

It is in Europe - one or three months are the standard notice periods I believe?

I just tested it and it's def vector here - Firefox Android. Looks great!

It does provide client side build, see the bottom shell snippets.

I assume a fish that didn’t understand what was going on would just run into walls? Or at most just move towards lights?

JavaScript doesn’t even have file system support.. each runtime has its own tacked on implementation in the relevant “standard” library. Now which is notoriously problematic?

I wonder if it is included in Unicode? Could the people here claim their native alphabet, taught to them in standard institutions from a western country, is not represented in Unicode?
