I remember going to Fry's for the first time in the late 90s. Having grown up on the East Coast, I had only heard about this magical place where you could buy pretty much anything computer-related. It was truly an experience, especiall

I recently started allergy shots, and am also on Dupixent. I asked my allergist about this when I started shots. He said that it might help with the Eczema, but nothing is guaranteed. There is at least anecdotal evidence indicating that all

This sort of reminds me of Airpair. Does anyone know what happened to them? Any learnings there?

Intel has whiffed their 10nm process node to the point where it may never launch in any scale. Their 7nm node is significantly behind schedule. Their only solution in the near-term is to keep increasing the TDP of their chips, which won&#x2

This reminds me strongly of the wait but why article on Overton windows. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this sort of stuff. https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/09/american-brain.html

I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro. This update bricked it. I have a tendency to install most Apple releases when they are first available, even though there are often problems that are usually fixed with a few updates. I'm sometimes able

I think part of the problem is that this "feature" masks the need to properly understand scroll behavior (at least if you only use platforms that auto-hide scrollbars). Recently, we were doing a bug safari for a new product featur

I agree with you. Having lived in a number of great cities over the years, San Francisco is my favorite. It's not perfect, but there are a lot of things to love, and being able to work remotely wouldn't cause me to move. Actually

Have been thinking strongly about the ROG Zephyrus 14 (cheaper and better than the 13" MBP in almost every way). But don't think I can stomach not having the webcam built-in (do way too many Zoom calls).

I have been a PM for a few years (and an engineer for many years before that), and my experience is that you don't want your customers to decide your product roadmap, but you definitely allow them to influence it. Your job is to balanc

One time quite a while ago, I randomly hung out with the Kiip team one day when there were like 6 of them. Mitchell struck me as a super nice guy, and at some point he randomly dropped the fact at some point that he wrote Vagrant. I'm

I have been learning Mandarin casually for a few years. A while back I went all the way through Duolingo. I picked up some new vocabulary, but it was probably the least effective study method I used. With that said, it was reasonably fun, a

I had low-grade back pain for years. Then after an incident where I could barely walk for a few days, I decided to go to physical therapy. Within a month or so, the pain was pretty much gone (although I went to PT until they told me I was g

We used K/KDB at my first job out of college. One one hand, it was fast and terse. The downside was that the code was nearly impossible to read by anyone but the original author, and for some reason they encouraged one-letter variables

Unicomp makes a version that has a built in trackpoint and mouse buttons. Haven't used it, though.

I have a Unicomp, and my roommate spilled water on it once, which caused a bunch of the keys to not register and required a rebuild (which cost almost as much as a new keyboard).

I use an MX Anywhere 2 at work and an MX Anywhere at home. I love both of them (so much that I soldered in new microswitches when the original buttons on the MX Anywhere wore out). I have never tried an MX Master. I have been curious, but I

There is also Geekhack (geekhack.org) and Keebtalk (www.keebtalk.com). I have built a number of keyboards, and have found all the information I have needed on Geekhack.

Yeah. The Whitefox or Drop's Alt Keyboard or the Tada68 or the Magicforce 68. You can find most of them on Amazon.

Interesting! Was wondering about this recently when shopping for a USB-C hub, and couldn't find many that supported 4K@60hz. Ended up getting one that does 30hz because my Display at home is only 1440p. I have used Displaylink adapters

I have used a 60% for the past 4 years or so, and have found it to be just fine for daily coding. I use VIM keybindings in my text editor, so my navigation keys are on home row and I don't need them (for non-VIM contexts, I just use FN

There are products that solve different parts of this problem, but most companies buy 2-4 products for their marketing stack (CDP, Marketing Automation, attribution, and analytics). For things like LTV prediction, you would either need to b

For a while, I had to get blood tests every month or so for a drug I was taking. Usually I went to a discount provider (labcorp), and paid like $30 for the bloodwork (maybe it was actually less). One time I went to UCSF hospital, and they e
