This an interesting approach to this that I wouldn't have thought of. You can clearly see who the people who are used to existing in a text space vs not. In my team for example, one of my coworkers just hates written communication. He

I'm not a big fan either. At least the pages are just like: - useless ai generated intro text - ten products that actually are the best reviewed per category by users - brief ai blurb on product - 3 actual user reviews of the product S

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of it. I'll never forget the look in our UX person's eyes when she realized that our team doesn't exist to make customer's experience better (there's a ton of other teams for that) but t

We're using these at where I work (large retail site) to help make filler text on generated articles. Think the summary blurb no one reads at the top. As for why we're writing these articles (we have a paid team that writes them t

Meanwhile I've been using the same color since I hit the 250 bar, and my color (32CD32) isn't on the list at all. Though there are a few similar ones

There is magsafe now, so you don't have to loose one for charging. Honestly it's easiest to just dump it into a USB C dock because they don't support more then one external monitor anyway.

Mine's actually bob@bobsmi.th, which isn't too bad (one of my roommates uses my domain on resumes for some reason with a carl@bobsmi.th style). If you want to be really obnoxcious just have your full on name. bobsmith@bobs.mi, or

I had both of these problems. My number used to be something like 555-348-8889. My email uses a domain hack of my last name so like Bob@smi.th. The former eventually changed to something equally ridiculous but easier to say, the latter I&#x

Luckily that's increased. MBK keycaps came out and which were some of the first to not have flat tops. Then they put out a colored variant, and there's been a few other companies readying new ones (MCC, WRK(work louder), and chica

ErgoDox isn't actually ortholinear, it's columnar. Ortholinear is just a straight grid of buttons. Columnar is what most split ergo boards are. Having used one I don't find ortholinear very good feeling without a split, as it

They're a bit on the obscure side, even among low profile keeb people. Very few boards support them (I think there's like a corne variant and maybe one or two other one offs), and they only come in 3 types.

Been using one for over two years now. They're great, but I'd say go for one that isn't row staggered (the keys don't line up vertically in columns).

Which trend? I'm not sure I'd consider low profile a trend, and logitech has been making mechanical keyboards for years. They've even made other low profile mechanical keyboards.

Could also be choc v2s, which I say is more likely, because otherwise they'd plaster cherry logos somewhere on the page. There's a bunch of compatibility problems with those. Cherry, GMK, and PBT MT3 all don't work according

Switches are probably either cherry's low profile switch, or Kailh's version 2 of it's choc low profile switch. I honestly have no idea why this was posted on HN, there's a ton of other keyboards that have the same specs

I want a tool that lets me annotate a codebase but with the notes stored locally and not in the code. This would mostly be for corporate code bases so I can take notes/ leave more explicit warnings for others. Less "Turns markdown

Doing things like throwing up a white page full screen on a monitor you're not using can help too. After all a nearly white page is much brighter then a black one.

What helps me is a bit odd. Stealing a quote from Douglas Adams “The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” Basically I just

Does anyone recruit grunt devs like that? That honestly sounds like what I'd prefer. I just want to come in, keep the lights on, and have enough mental energy for other stuff after work.

I'd love to see the weird trends they find on some of the bigger more complex algorithms. Like people who drive red cars born July 2000 with a pet bird are 8 times more likely to get in an accident if they primarily drive near Chicago

I tend to only use multiple desktops when I'm on a single screen or working on the laptop directly. In that case it's sorta a task thing, one desktop is chat clients (Slack and/or Discord), one is my editor, another is the br

During quarantine I switched to mostly movies. They require more singular focus (it's harder to watch a movie while doing other things), don't really have the binging problem (2 hour and done instead of just continually extensions

Yeah that's the one. I don't think it'd even work on my current card, as there's no raised lettering.

Cellphones with keyboards. Firewire and esata. WEP Encryption. Didn't see the beginning but saw the end of analog tv. Not really dead for everyone but like... Tivos and dvrs sorta came and went for me. In my adult life I've never

I think it was mostly mobile games. Why make games for small amounts of money when you can make actual money on the app store. The decline was happening even before Flash was removed from chrome.

It's a combination of: I really like my manager and have had much worse, I'm using the company to move me to one of the other locations, and not really minding the going in. I'll probably start looking after the move. My mana

The company I'm working for is struggling with this. They firmly believe in no remote. They won't entertain it for juniors, and generally to get approval you need to be pretty vital. But at the same time they've also opened u

We have "Phone booths" that essentially are sound isolated single person meeting rooms for calls both video and phone. Of course, they are incredibly hard to find empty. From where I'm sitting I can see 3 of them, and this is

It seems like a lot of these speed runner cheaters are in this sort of boat. A lot of them can do the record they're breaking but want to skip some of the grind that comes with speed running or are just frustrated by being so close so
