I tend to think people's losses will be smaller (as individuals) then everyone seems to think. This is reddit we're talking about, and people using RobinHood. I'm guessing losses for those that didn't get out will be l

yeah - It just feels like every other internet craze. Or maybe I'm just salty I was too slow on the uptake ? :-P

>>What I'm missing is Electron-everything. You actually said you wanted electron everything? Also, since electron is based on chromium...I sorta thought it was close enough to make my point.

Dang - this is nice! Thanks - I hadn't seen it before!

you want 'electron everything' putting google in control of all your apps, but you don't think they're customer focused enough to do the OS ? That sounds like its not gonna work well... (You could problably use how well

I always liked Graveyard/3rd shift the best. No phones riging, no customers whining, no supervisors breathing over your shoulder. Go in, Do your job, get out in time to get to the bank/dry cleaner/etc.

This really reminds me of the pump&dumps around alt-coins and shit-coins back in the day... Question is, how long will it last before reddit gets bored and moves on?

Yeah - they're really seeming like vaporware... :-( Given how small the trackball is, I'm not sure if I'd prefer the trackball or trackpoint/electric eraser

Workman(1) might also be worth a try. Supposed to reduce pinky usage, overall finger travel, and balance left/right hand usage, compared Dvorak and Colemak edit: carpalx(2) is another. I think that was one of the ones generated by a

My Ergo Dox is 'ok'. I tricked it out with Kailh box navies and it feels nice except the thumb clusters appear to be designed for wilt chamberlain. The moon lander tries to overcome that with the adjustable tilt on the thumb clus

They finally released the trackball module? Cool... I'll have to look for some reviews - I'm concerned the actual trackball looks a bit small? Edit: are you sure they started shipping? the shop page still says under development?

check out the 'tracktyls'.. The 'beast' (1) gets all the attention, but I actually like qqurn's stuff (2)(3) better. He even has a nice git repo with dactyls with trackball, electric eraser, and button based thumb c

yeah - there will definitely be a huge equipment budget. But the construction work will be substantial as well. I have a friend that's doing pipe fitting at the Intel plant, and he's looking at being booked solid for like the ne

This actually surprised me, as I would have guessed it would have been closer to Intel, to make use of infrastructure already in place.. Also, not sure how the jobs will break down, but when I was at Intel, techs actually working in the cle

From the first article I linked above: "a new North Phoenix manufacturing facility and up to 1,900 new local jobs over a five-year period. With an estimated 20-year economic impact of $38.2 billion, TSMC represents Arizona’s largest-ev

Odd..I live in AZ and local news is reporting the Fab at $12B, and the total project at $38B over 20 years (including 2K new jobs(1)(2) also, they want to have it production ready by 2024, which seems incredibly tight timeline. My understa

The orchestration is between the 2 devices at the ends of the link. The actual link itself could be wireless, fiber, copper, etc. Since its just transporting data and not trying to interpret it at all. Though, someone higher up said the t

oh? Hmm...I was thinking mostly for stuff like dongles to plug into keyboards or mice, etc. Wonder it would be a problem for them.

Along these lines - I've always wanted a cheap, universal usb wireless adapter. Something dumb, that just reads the signals off the usb device, transmits them wirelessly to a dumb reciever that uses the info. to reconstruct the data s

Yeah - I had high hopes for the alpha as well. I think it had more to do with Dec not getting price competitive with x86 before x86_64 took off. I don't really think the Itanium factored into it - it always seemed more of an 'also

Lets stipulate perks cost the same either way, since you don't think companies will come out ahead on perks.. They still save on janitorial, security, utilities, rent, etc. So I fail to see how companies don't save money. And from

Perhaps...I agree companies will come out ahead - they always do :-P But I'm hopeful there's room for employees to come ut ahead as well.

oh yeah - WFH is not gonna do anything about say signing bonuses or stock options. I just think it has enough cost savings potential that companies will be open to it going forward. I especially like the "employees can access any compa

>>Very few companies have on-site gyms, snacks and child care. I'm not seeing your point here? it IS still a sellers market, and companies do pay for those things. So its still a savings for them. As for a 'drop in the buc

While I fit the profile you mention...After 20 years WFH, I can't say I find it depressing. YMMV, but I think its how you do it. The lockdowns have probably made WFH seem a lot more isolating (no working from hacker spaces, coffe sho

TBH, I don't think companies will fight it - its still cheaper to give an employee a budget and let them kit out a home office then to pay for cubicles, desks, etc. Office furniture is dam expensive! Oh! can't forget conference

You might want to beef up your 'summary' section with any achievements, special skills, etc. with 25 years exp, I'm assuming you're going to be more expensive then an entry level person. Use that section to highlight wh
