Evoluent sells a left-handed variant of their popular vertical mouse. Doesn't have smooth scrolling though.

I totally agree, but it's not all black and white. You can still have nice things N% of the time, and just fallback to the regular stuff when away from your desk. Also the keyboard community isn't always rational or focused on ROI

Here's my solution to these issues: 1. I am "that guy", but who cares? It's like a carpenter bringing his own tools. I bought a second one after 1 year of lugging it around, because it's worth it to me. 2. Use/

Give it two weeks. I agree the debugging F-keys are a bit strange, but a great thing is that you can do everything without touching the mouse once you know the keys. And for any shortcut you don't know, just use the Actions search.

I used borg for a while but the bugs you mentioned and some of the discussions in the Github issues gave me pause. For my taste, there is still too much development going on for me to rely on it as my main backup solution.

Doesn't rsync also slow to a crawl if there are too many files, due to memory requirements? Is there a way around that? EDIT: Ah I see rsync 3.0.0 (released in 2008) fixed this issue. Maybe I was on an old version.

I'm certainly satisfied with my education from ETHZ, but the question is very broad. Feel free to email me if you have more specific questions.

The ones I saw worked just fine over a lake, and it was windy. I saw a few drift off and self-correct very quickly so it looks like they have this figured out. I assume they hold their position relative to one or more ground units.

If only important/tricky commits have long messages it's fine. Most IDEs will show you the full text if you hover over the line, so when working on something it's easy enough to check them. I'm huge fan of the timemachin

Imposing one's wrong pronunciation on purpose is arrogant, lazy and even disrespectful. Furthermore it's not helping anyone long term. The only exceptions I see are anglicized alternative names ("Munich" instead of &quot

iOS call blockers using the built-in API don't have this issue, it's like the content blocking for Safari but for calls. You enable them under Settings->Phone->Call blocking. See https://news.ycombinator.com/

For personal budgeting, I believe it's crucial to have a mobile app for entry on the go and basic reports. Going through statements monthly/weekly and assigning the correct categories retroactively is just too hard.

Any thoughts on GoodBudget? It's what I've been using for the last couple of years and it does not link bank accounts (and I wouldn't want it to). Long term I'm looking for something self-hosted too, but I think we'
