Workman user checking in. Every positive thing about dvorak is also true for workman plus you get easy control keys and easier learning from qwerty.

It's interesting that this requires sunlight. Here's a paint solution that doesn't and still uses passive cooling for below air temps (sun or shade): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzrI14lOlSqeS5pNkRCi

Distance doesn't matter for a fatigue perspective. Light intensity and time are big factors, though. Focusing on a short distance for a long period of time has been associated with myopia (though I'm not sure if they've estab

Samsung keyboard on my phone (because I'm already forced to trust that software). SimpleKeyboard on the kids' tablets because it's OSS. Neither is as good as Swiftkey but security is not binary.

As soon as Microsoft bought Swiftkey, I switched off of it. Microsoft has such a bad privacy reputation that I couldn't trust it anymore.

They also had unique innovations that few other laptops had: a finger joystick for a mouse, an overhead keyboard light (before we had glowing keys), expanding keyboards for small models, etc.

Lenovo, the company, bought the Thinkpad line from IBM. At the time the Thinkpad line had a near-religious following for quality and durability. Lenovo had done a decent job maintaining the Thinkpad reputation for enough of its models.

Coming from Slack, group threads is annoying. Teams gets extra hate because it's often forced upon engineers for cost-saving measures. Slack has a lot of nice features that help maintain a company's remote-work culture. Teams is j

Background noise cancellation is pretty bad compared to zoom. Teams seems to flake out more when sharing desktops than zoom does (though I've had issues with both).

Same for me, I loved the ability to customize things and was constantly re-building packages. But the real thing is that it is what made me comfortable with the command-line and linux as a whole. I'd used Debian quite a bit before Gent

I second this. I've been using this knot for years. It's a bit tricky to tie but still the best.

I've talked to a lot of internationals from less developed countries. "missionary" means "spy" to many of them.

I feel like most things that have a small plastic clip that gets broken...like a vacuum cleaner. Look up "plastic welding" and save lots of money on simple things like that.

Did you read the description? That $35 computer you linked has "no memory, no cpu, no hard drive".

IPFS got their fat investment check and got to work on their own crypto-currency (filecoin). I kinda feel like the project lost its way.

This. If you want to save your developers' time. Pony up for a Jetbrains product. Getting VSCode to equivalent functionality takes hours. Dev time is expensive, PyCharm is worth it. (This is not a paid endorsement, I have no connection

I have been on the other end of this. I received an email offer to attend these hiring interviews and meet with customers while not doing the actual dev work. Too sleazy for me. I'm basically selling my brand to another company. If com

Does this have a clear advantage over Pihole? I see the android app and that's nice but not enough of a killer feature (for me to want) to switch. Pihole still offers nice things that a cloud solution can't, like local network res

In design, they paid a lot of attention to making common actions available with your free thumb so you could navigate most apps with one hand. App-switching, context menus, device operations were all swipe operations. Having a hardware keyb

It's clear that their dataset contains a lot of newscasts. I wouldn't call this "natural" speech. But it certainly has an application for replacing newscasters/announcers.

This still can't use GHA to enforce any sort of integrity so it's kinda moot. I have some of my projects set up to deploy with CircleCI...which can give me the build, approve, apply (specifically the thing you approved) chain that

Sure, but that's actually worse than useless for my use-case. Image this, you have an action that publishes your plan to your PR (#1 - it's a biggish feature). It gets merged and goes to approval. Then people happen. PR #2 is addr

From my perspectives, GHA is missing 2 things over CircleCI. A way to pause an action for approval, or a way to pull artifacts from other workflows. Both of these actions are _possible_ with an external service but painful to setup. I want

Cool! (not a security professional) One of the reasons in my understanding that projects don't deviate from older languages was because they give you some control around compilation that would be necessary to thwart timing-based attack

200W isn't a lot of power. Most microwaves are 1KW. You'll need an inverter that can do that at least to run a fridge constantly and a microwave periodically.

It doesn't completely fit your use-case but smugmug is pretty cheap for photos and lots of storage. You also get smartphone sync for free.
