Ideally, we would have funding for chemical recycling of plastics which would make a circular plastic economy. I don't know if this is actually a viable solution at scale but it's the dream.

I don't have any expertise that can help here, but I want to chime in and say I feel you. My partner has a rare genetic disorder as well that has put them in the hospital many times in the past few years. We have been VERY lucky because a new drug that treats their condition fairly well was approved by the FDA just MONTHS before my partner started experiencing symptoms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Givosiran if you're interested). It's an extremely expensive medicine. Fortunately our insurance covers it! Best of luck to you and your family.

PS: I'm actually going to try apply to work for AllStripes soon.. Wish me luck!

if the layer button is easily accessible, it isn't so bad imo. I have a function layer available just by moving my thumbs one button "inward" from resting position and I love it. It seems I like layers more than a lot of people though so *shrug.

There's a function layer. So you can still hit the function keys, just have to hit another button first.

I think they want to keep it somewhat approachable..

you could also build your own at much lower cost but much higher labor: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform https://www.etsy.com/market/dactyl_manuform

looks like there is a function layer. Layers are nice because they make it so you don't have to move your hands far from home row.

I put mine further out

Yeah that isn't completely false. However, frontend work is SO much better than it used to be. Having to support old versions of IE made everything suck for a while. We won't have to worry at all about IE at all soon: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/int.... That said, the testing story for frontend isn't as good as it could be. Cypress has gotten us really close to a place where frontend testing can have really good coverage. But it's not quite there yet IMO. All things considered, with a modern web stack, I think fullstack work is overall less stressful because web frameworks make it so you don't have to make big architecture decisions that you may deeply regret down the line. I do miss making those decisions because they are fun to think about, but having to make those decisions is a huge liability and source of stress IMO.

I'd recommend not entirely dismissing web work as an option. If you do web work, there will be so many more jobs available to you. The work may not be as exciting in some cases. However, it is still good, well paying, work. The work may be less stimulating overall, but I think it's also less stressful. Which gives me more energy for other things in my life that I value more. There's more to life than work.

In my experience, you hypothesis is wrong.

Sears mostly collapsed because they decided to make their internal departments independent competing companies. The departments acted more in their own interests rather than in the interests of the whole company...

I wonder if the growth problems that SU came across was more due to external pressures than inherent systemic limitations of a planned economy

Mechanical != loud.

But.. they are objectively superior. Not everyone needs them. But they are better in many ways.

You don't seem to understand that you don't need to bottom out your switches to actuate them. I have Kailh Copper switches which barely require me to push them down very far in order to actuate. Also they're pretty quiet. You can have your preferences, but blanketly saying that all mech keyboards "require too much strength" and are "loud" is wrong. The "expensive" part isn't even true in all cases.

I haven't had that experience but I came into the hobby after going to an in-person keyboard meetup that helped me to learn the basics.

Trump was a fucking disaster and the idea that he had much of anything to do with the economy doing well during that time is pretty childish

Zucc has, time and time again, chosen profit over people. Facebook over country. They knew what they were doing (spreading misinformation, creating political division, harming childrens' mental health) and actively chose to not do anything about it. If no private entity can be trusted to do better than that, maybe facebook shouldn't be a private entity IMO.

I don't think we'll really see housing prices drop until the ocean rises up far enough to ruin our cities.

Hell yeah me too! Some of my coworkers like it, but there are a few out there who basically don't want to learn something new.. I have been using Ramda professionally for about two years now and I love the heck out of it. My org is using more and more TypeScript which makes using Ramda a little harder but it still works pretty well in this context too. I have been working on a test data inventory project with Ramda recently and it has made the implementation so much nicer than it would have been otherwise. I started using pipeP (by defining it with pipeWith) and omg it's so great for dealing with a mix of async and non async calls.

Could it also estimate CO2 output from delivery? I always try to buy local even if it's online when possible. Luckily this is usually possible in the bay area/California :)

I guess the trickiest thing still is some layout stuff that isn't covered by ^ and usually when I'm dealing with that kind of stuff I use https://learnlayout.com/ as a reference

Yo, with Flexbox and CSS grid frontend styling is liek nbd anymore. I've been doing frontend for a while now tho so I might be biased..

I applied to this job last month and the application status is "Not Selected" in the dashboard. I think I'd be a good fit for the position! I'm willing to negotiate on salary or whatever else may have been an issue.

Implying people can't intellectually affect people other than their own children.

Wow, holy hell. I hope I never have to work with you.

*laughs in modern web development

When you're working on a larger scale (be that app complexity or number of users) these things make more sense.
