I use the UHK keyboard which has butter smooth home row keys mouse movement so I never need a mouse anyway. https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/

This is like saying tractors won't steal agricultural hand-ploughing jobs, the people building the tractors will. Technically true. But... stupid.

To make this event type completely reproducible and measurable to the millisecond there could be a new cube product which uses LEDs to show the colors of a randomly scrambled cube and start the clock at the same moment too, while the solver is holding it. Clock stops the moment the cube is solved.

Do you really think that the couple hours it saves by having these maps to hand instead of a terrorist going to the station and making their own map of the public space is going to mean the difference between an attack and no attack? Get real. Let’s just get rid of all maps then hmm? Security risk.

When I was a kid my parents had a big physical encyclopaedia set. I used to lose myself in those things just as much as I scroll through stuff now. Just because in both instances, it’s “interesting”.

But my brain doesn’t necessarily discern between “good” interesting and “bad” interesting without me trying to work it out and guiding it.

Which I normally fail at.

Of course there's a lot of HN bitterness here. But I like Fig. I've been running my own heavily customised .zshrc for about a decade with loads of bells and whistles in terms of autocomplete and customised prompts and what not and it has been great and I've kept it current with cool new toys.

But I've dumped most of it in the last month for Fig. I like seeing command specific options, relevant to the current context, and in a long list which I can scan and scroll quickly.

I go to documentation MUCH less now and I'm faster with it. And that's most of what I care about.

Commence retaliations...

If the business model for this was: 1) fully open source 2) ~$2.99 per user per month 3) more for team features 4) paid plugins and themes 5) opt-in and inspectable telemetry

They’d probably get their million paying users in the first year.

For this crucial part of this target market’s (engineers) toolkit, it HAS to A) be open source and B) have the option for zero telemetry.

Inb4: “if it was open source why would people pay for it?!?” Because at the right price people are happy to pay and support something they love and get low-effort trustworthy updates built in.

I’m keen to try coding in VR.

Isn't this going to break their own "send mail as" feature in Gmail to send as another Gmail address you own? Which I basically use constantly.

UHK. Warning though, once you start you can’t go back. It presents to the machine as a mouse on holding the mouse key. I take my hands off the keyboard to use the mouse 80% less now. No it’s not the same as janky Mac OS mouse keys.

How are you feeling? What are you thinking?

Do you feel this is overhyped or not hyped enough?

What are people in your circles saying?

Do you feel you can speak freely or is do you feel intimidation against that?

Do you feel the media is completely full of propaganda? Or telling it like it is?

Russians, are you concerned about potential sanctions on your jobs and income?

Hasura is brilliant and is written in Haskell mostly. Give them a try: https://hasura.io/careers/?jobId=vso4JFIiAd8G

Was just looking for a more human readable representation of my Postgres UUID v4 primary keys today - Douglas Crockford alphabet is perfect for that. Thanks!

At what point does quantum tunnelling become a problem?

As a South African I guarantee you that getting something ludicrous verified by a bureaucrat is not remarkable.

Can it run Crysis?

Seems Jeff has launched a malicious attack on proof-of-stake, been unsuccessful, and has lost his stake. In this case his reputation.

You can't hand-wave over "complexity" and then call it "opaque" and self referential using a bunch of vague and imprecise analogies. The "step 2 complexity" is where the system justifies itself. It's where it's proven sound. Just because you're too lazy to get into the weeds and technicals of it does not make the system flawed. A casual read of the overview of Ethereum 2's proof-of-stake mechanism[1] would have helped Jeff save his reputation staked on his blog post.

So great. Would love to see the track details and maybe some sort of equally low-fi social aspect. Just number of listeners or hearts / something

You want me to google Create React App for you or you good to do it yourself?

Typescript / Javascript have significant reason to exist in their own right.

I feel like the mass adoption tipping point of Deno will be when Create React App moves over to it or has a Deno specific branch.

A gentleman’s bet with $500 is just a bet.

Which route on an independent MIT licensed project would you suggest?

I'm looking forward live audio translation in the speaker's voice.

This is so important.

It's much less to do about ads and more about quality information and content created by people who have invested in it being able to circulate in our society rather than information and content which is free but created by hacks and incentivised by some other motive or has an alternative agenda. We're seeing the ramifications of that every day.

This needs to be brought into the web standards asap IMO.

The former inhabitants of Pripyat and the Fukushima exclusion zone are thrilled to hear that.

"Very rarely" is not enough to justify thousands of years of uninhabitable square kilometres.

But if you change the measure of safety to: square kilometres rendered uninhabitable, or potential to be rendered uninhabitable, for tens of thousands of years then nuclear fission is dead last and always will be.

Is QM really trying very hard to tell us that spacetime is emergent?

Space is emergent because: spooky action at a distance. Time is emergent because: delayed choice quantum eraser experiments.
