   As a hybrid macOS / Windows user (with 20+ years of Windows keyboard muscle memory), I found Karabiner Elements a godsend. You can import complex key modifications from community built scripts which will automatically remap things lik

   I wonder if this reduction in videos on screen is a result of an experiment due to "The Paradox of Choice" / "Choice Overload"? https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/economics/the-par.

   The following is my personal experience being part of a collective bargaining union (OPSEU local 598), which encompassed a few hundred workers for Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, in Toronto Ontario, from 2007-2017. I worked in IT for the du

   Any ideas what the screen refresh rate is going to be at this point? All the screenshots don't have time that includes seconds, and having a watch face that can update at least every second would be a requirement for me. (I know e-ink

   I came here to recommend the same! Mine's the thermal carafe version (so it doesn't have a hot plate) - so it's even more straightforward. Some selling points you didn't mention though: - It has a 5 year warranty - It&

    I really like the Pilot G2 pens - they use a nice flowing ink and are available in larger 1.0mm and 0.7mm sizes. They are also pretty easy to find (Amazon has them, I'm sure other stores would as well), so you shouldn't have trou

    I may be mistaken here, but I think Patrick may be referring to the library of Stripe Press published books, which are available internally (and externally, if purchased)? https://press.stripe.com/

    Thanks - when you're primary on-call, how often do you receive alerts / pages that you have to action?

    by debunn 7y ago

    Thanks - that seems like a reasonable way to handle on call, and more in line with what I've seen as well. Appreciate the feedback!

    > Are the people in charge of fixing the underlying issues themselves on call? Yes - although we're on call frequently enough, and tasked with other priorities when we're not - so progress is slow. I mentioned in another comme

    Thanks for the reply - this sounds like the right way to run an on call rotation!

    Thanks for your reply - we do have some recurring types of issues, but I'd say it varies a fair bit. A lot of issues are customer support related (that require administrator access to fix), but there are a lot of system issues as well

    Thanks - of the 5-7 pages per week I was mentioning, all of these are things that are items that require me to manually action them. Lots are after hours customer support issues that require administration level access, others are systems

    Thanks - I'm glad I got at least one reply of someone who's confirming that level of paging wasn't abnormally high to them. When on primary on-call, we also are generally not expected to make progress on project work, althoug

    Thanks - we try to tune our alerts, and we have a lot that are self healing as well. The ones I've been mentioning are ones that we currently don't have automated solutions for, and require me to manually action them. Our manage

    Thanks - this is what I figured was closer to normal. I appreciate getting confirmation my experience is not as far off reality as I was being told!

    Thanks - yeah, all of the 5-7 incidents I'm seeing are considered high priority and require action. We get lots of the noisy false system alarms too, but those don't require me to action them thankfully.

    We've had a number of folks at work ask if their Android phone will be patched, so I thought it would be helpful to list the Android Open Source Project (aka: device operating system) versions that will be receiving the necessary patch
