I had one of these at a previous job, great keyboard. I still miss the reliability of the thing. Ended up building an ergodox the year after I left, and I've kept with that for the last 6 years.

I'd argue that this.myValue = myValue is a lot clearer than the 'conventional' MyValue = myValue, unless you live in a world where your linter can mandate pascalcase for private fields always (and never otherwise). It's

Bad data viz alert: Why use area to encode mobile data cost when you're also using the vertical axis for the same purpose?

^This. I've said it for years, but LinkedIn is my favorite social network right now. It gives me the dream of keeping up with all the people I've known (X moved to Y, started a new job, etc) but don't care to actually speak t

Since I got my Pixel 4, I've found myself using more and more speech to text as... it's just that quick and easy. Every so often, I try to use speech to text on my iPad Pro and I have an experience pretty similar to Poor Michael G

Related to backgrounding apps, I don't understand why if I split screen an app during a video chat, my video turns off. It's a little awkward if I'm trying to read an email during a Zoom call.

I met him a few times when I was a grad student at Stony Brook (Physics). I can't speak for his particular math skills, but he's in possession of an incredibly sharp mind. The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics has an art gall

Yes, I would pay (and have done so in the past). Much as I'm willing to pay for good apps on my phone, even though there are plenty of free alternatives.

The thing that happens online, and especially in the linux space, is that the people who participate in the conversation are not the people who the feature-set is restricted for.

Realistically, this is the kind of restriction that's in place to impede the high-frequency & low-capability regime in the space of non-nation-state (or, historically e.g. the 70s, non-peer nation) threats.

I'm guessing the damage numbers are higher because of a number of high-impact city-focused attacks. I live in Baltimore, where all of the city's systems were shut down for a few months over a ransomware attack asking for <100k.

There's a similar game concept (not based on pieces but rather on decisions to reconnoiter) called reconnaissance blind chess[1]. My understanding is that this game is largely used to explore and experiment with AI decision processes i

You're not wrong, but there's also the filter of "is this a real emergency or could this be an email he'll see tomorrow morning?" that goes through the coworker's head when his options are call vs. email. And,

Not the original poster, but any kind of overtime is rare for salaried work? At least in the US. I'd take 60% per hour for overtime in a heartbeat as long as it was optional, since I've always ended up doing that kind of work for

Block diagram based "codeless" software might not be a one-solution fits all, but it's certainly effective in a number of domains. I'm currently making the transition from writing physical simulation code in Fortran, Pyt

It's a shame they're dropping the 11", though I concede that if they want this to be feasible with the magnesium alloy body they did need to condense the product line.

Money aside, there is a sort of more systematic reason we see physics MS/PhDs bailing to industry. Though theory groups in general tend to use computational simulations as a tool to complete calculations, groups that develop novel comp

I wouldn't be surprised if White Collar drew from this, especially for the art thievery, considering how liberally it drew from the life & career of Frank Abagnale as an FBI consultant.

I get the impression that most people arguing in favor of the 3 laws have not actually read I, Robot. There are many places in pop culture that the laws appear, so it's not impossible that someone might quote them devoid of context. To
