I got a UHKv1 from an early adopter friend (who had multiple UHKs) and have loved it. It was hard getting used to it at first, but it was the only keyboard that didn't make my forearms ache, when my tendonitis flared up.

Transactional DDL changes is a huge one. Postgres allows me to modify the table schema in a transaction, and rollback changes as if it was a mere data transaction, if something fails mid-migration. Makes maintaining production databases thr

Agreed, cool, but more so for the study/analysis/comparison of the composition before and after cropping, revealed by Lunden's copy. Repairing missing/damaged canvases is a understood problem, tackled by reversible inpai

MRI machines aren't like a copier. They're million-plus dollar room-sized installs that require massive facilities support, custom spaces, and in many places in the US, a certificate of need to allow you to purchase and install it

Interesting if somewhat overblown conceptualization. One note though... particularly calling out the author's paragraphs about how scarce or hard-to-find information is at our fingertips, and how this supposedly extends our information

The challenge there was combining code systems. 4K as a standard had been used for a relatively long time in digital cinema and editing, and I believe the long-dimension standard was chosen based on telecine processes for scanning film for

Sadly true, at least in some dimensions. Though as I sit here in my bedroom staring into a massive multipanel array of sharp pixels, attached to a global fiberoptic firehose of information... it feels like a different sort of imagined futur

Haha nope, a small specialist business that's not yet at container-scale in their supply chain orders. Warehousing for a high number of unique SKUs relative to scale is frustrating enough, but this year's supply chain ripples have

This situation is a mess for anyone waiting on something that's sitting in a container in Shanghai, or on a ship in the queue in Long Beach. A friend's business has a critical LCL shipment that was supposed to arrive to their supp

No. There was only about 2/3 of the round log remaining, and they cut (a mix of quartersawn and riftsawn) ten planks out of it. All were full-length, but some were decidedly narrower or rougher than others. They chose four main planks

I read longform articles and journalism voraciously. When I'm not pulling overtime at work, I usually read 20-50 in-depth articles a day. But the challenge is how widely I read. Sure, there's a bunch at NYT (which I subscribe to),

Yes. The whole office broke what they were doing and watched that launch and landing together, on one of our big displays. A cheer went up when they landed, side by side--a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life. Goosebumps then,
