Once people know you don't type QWERTY they won't shut up about it. Every time there is an HN post about colemak or dvorak you'll get the same stream of jokes and references to 20 year old reason articles. Some people seem to

The same can be said for the real estate used by banks. I guess they are used for meeting to sign paperwork and as support centers for people not comfortable banking online. In the future I don't see that need requiring a large buildin

If you want to view a site over an amateur radio link it can't include advertisements, and the link will be slow compared to any of the 802.11 modes. Plus lots of hams learned web design in the 90's. edit: not an hour later I land

https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/wiki/index is a pretty good place to start. The ARRL has manuals that walk through the theory behind the exams for the US licences. The extra class book explains the theo

At least they reference the original article, including the DOI. That being noteworthy is another indication of how bad most science reporting is.

You don't have to switch editors. For the past few years I've moved between rubymine, pycharm, and atom for coding while still having emacs open for my org-mode notes.

If any one else wants to know more about these google "in ear monitor". That's the trade name for the headphones musicians use to hear the mixed product while also protecting themselves from the amplified sound.

The "few hundred million for quality control" number still stands. In addition they were able to draw on everyone from the people designing the transistors through to the programers to debug problems. Not something many modern pro

In addition to everything else mentioned here they spent a TON of money[1]. For example they spent what would be 3.6 billion 2016 dollars on Guidance and Navigation. If your current project could drop a few hundred million on QC I bet quali
