They need a canary. A clear statement that says Apple did not mandate these changes. If it is missing we all know why...

I love Heroku. But I hardly use it anymore. For personal use it was excellent way to spin up an app and see if it is useful etc. That part I had to stop doing because they changed the free-tier pricing model. So I had to sunset most apps, k

There are many knockoffs but few gain traction because once they go beyond just basic hosting element as a PAAS to all the millions of things Heroku do behind the scenes they realise they either need to increase prices beyond Heroku or stay

All I'd want from Firefox would be a browser based VPN. As in per tab or container. That I would appreciate. Mostly for GeoIP restrictions for some sites. A VPN for the whole system I can use other providers who's main business is

This is often a very good reason why many sucessfull startups sell. Also many of the founders have an "entrepreneurial spirit", which really means to me they prefer to start things, make it a success (or not) and then move on, ove

I have seen quagmire in several languages at various small and very large companies. So many withered and bloated Java apps that is hard to maintain. And I agree it is not the language, it is the stewardship. Who they hire, how they manage

Once they got rid of Chris Evans, the show recovered somewhat. With Mat LeBlanc, Flintoff etc. Though not back to the Clarkson stratospheric viewing figures, but I really liked the LeBlanc seasons.

Oh god I hate the yellow lights. When I moved to the UK in the 90s it took a while to realise what was "wrong" at night, then I realised it was the street lights. Every colour and definition disappeared, hard to spot the right car

My council are also started turning off their lights during the night. I understand it but I hate it. I feel sorry for the dude across the street that now comes home from work in the dark. Personally I feel a lot less secure now staring out

That is why football/soccer introduced 3 points for a win to combat the 1980s trend of playing for a draw. Made enough of a difference.

I appreciate Toyota still sticking with fuel cells when none/few others are. We need alternatives, and there will be markets where hydrogen makes more sense than electric etc. But as a company/shareholder it seems nuts. They are s

Who knows how offices will be used post-Covid. I guess some normality will ensure but at least for tech workers I would guess some hybrid remote work for quite a while.

Ah yes, for that layout with 4 extra keys you would have to compromise. E.g. move the ',' or '.'to be shared with the right shift key so that you can have the arrows keys in normal layout. Or just have the left and right

No, you can have a normal ⊥ arrows layout on the right half [1]. I do as I use those keys a lot. Or I can use a navigation layer as others have mentioned. The magic is the double use of modifiers if tapped or held. Whilst I personally cou

I had to abandon using a totally different layout on my mech keyboard, as I do have to use other keyboards for short stints. I spent a few weeks trying out Workman and Norman layouts, which was interesting but to annoying to switch forwards

by flurdy 6y ago
With layers as mentioned you can have one row as F keys, then another row below it (or another layer) as F keys with shift pressed automatically.

I think that would narrow the sales to whom both like that keyboard and the chosen trackball. Some would love it, a lot would like the keyboard but prefer a different trackball or location for it. Or would after a while.

I overkill. Mostly I have a trackball in the middle as well as an ergonomic Penguin mouse on the side. I rotate and swap between what is on the left, right and middle. A trackball doesn't need a lot of space.

I have smaller hands as well and I do tent it slightly but then I only use the first "piano" key regularly [1]. The others on the thumb cluster are for layer keys. My only gripe is that you can't negative tilt it, which I pre

That would just be worked around with VPNs etc, so then they have to spend a huge amount of their dev time not on features but instead on working out how to detect where the users are geolocated. IP, language, credit card address etc. Just

Remote pairing with VS Code Live Share + Slack/Zoom call has been a blessing. Great for focussing on work as always, but now also general conversation about random things that you can no longer physically do when in a lockdown.

Well my dress up is limited to putting on a different t-shirt. (What's further down is irrelevant for zoom meetings) But it does help. I have a set of slightly more respectable work t-shirts and a very different set of home shirts. And

I am surprised by that, but I guess most pilots are not exposed as much as I thinĸ to open cockpits or windows that can blow your cornea flap open...
