Disclaimer: I'm an amateur artist that at one point almost went to art school. Some professional artists talked me out of it and 20 years later I am still thankful. Its such a well-known meme that attempting to become a professional ar

Here's a use case you may or may not be interested in. Security Research. As a security analyst, when I'm trying to figure out what a malicious script / executable does, it often involves searching for weird strings I find in

I can comfortably reach 3 keys with each hand. Its awesome. I bind stuff that isn't really used much during normal typing to the remaining 3 thumb keys. I would never go back to a keyboard without a thumb cluster after using this. The

This is exactly what I was talking about. You make a bunch of assumptions about peoples' political opinions that are incorrectly portraying them as centrists and supporters of nazis if they don't adopt your world view. "Us or

Centrists would be somewhat rare it it hadn't become a slur for both extremes to label anyone that's not an extremist. Moderates are far more common than centrists. But these day's you're either completely toxic and insa

I wonder if maybe John Carmack would have had Elon levels of money if he hadn't sold his company to a corporation that probably employs contract lawyers that have Elon levels of money. Seems hard to believe that Id wasn't worth a

Short version: Its not great but if you want your credits to transfer you go to a regionally accredited school. Its old and spent a large part of its history entrenching itself in the American education industry, therefore its automatically

There are different types of accreditation for schools. Generally speaking, if you are in the US and want minimal risk in terms of transferability, you want to attend a school that has been accredited by one of several regional authorities.

Extreme ownership is a great book with lots of sound advice. However, I don't find the approach flawless at all. These guys had the benefit of being leaders in an organization that is set up to rapidly show you the door if you under-pe

I'm not saying its bad or that you can't have a good experience with it, but we should take the "Linux as a Desktop" idea in the proper context. When people bring this idea up again and again, they are usually claiming t

I've tried out Linux as a Desktop OS pretty consistently every 2-3 years for about 20 years on various Desktop and Laptop computers. I use Linux on a daily basis as a Security analyst, so while I'm not as good as many, I am far b

Some people have claimed its pretty good. The company claims you can learn to type 80 WPM with one hand. They are super expensive because they were designed specifically for people that have only 1 hand, but there are some people interested

I have an Ergodox-EZ. The issue with the thumb keys is that its only natural or easy to hit the bottom 3 for most people. Some people can only hit the bottom 2. That being said, having 3 usable keys per thumb is a game changer IMO and its

Kailh might make something lighter than MX blues. Not sure what's out there on the light side. I'm sure cherry or someone must make something nice that still clicks. I also use linear switches around 60-70g.

I'm fairly heavy handed so maybe that's why it doesn't appeal to me. I use Box Navy switches on one of my mechanical keyboards. Those are notoriously heavy.

You have the last good one. My 2015 died and my employer gave me a 2017 that promptly died 3 months later. Apple Care and the genius bar were a pretty shitty customer service experience but I eventually got it back. The keyboard is worse th

Don't have an answer for Unity on Mac. However, in spite of it being my preferred OS for everything else I avoid it for anything related to gaming because the mouse support is a train wreck. I followed a bunch of hacks to disable mouse

Well if you want to be a useful journalist you start by not sensationalizing things or carefully framing facts in a way to push a specific narrative. Being a useful journalist is not profitable though, even when there isn't a pandemic.
