You're so right about the single point of failure.

I bought a 30" monitor back in 2008 when that constituted a large monitor. It had a 12 month warranty and died after 13 months. :-(

I switched to 2 24-inch monitors which cost less, had more total pixels, and most importantly I no longer had that single point of failure.

It's good to know I'm not the only one! I think I started using asdf on Descent then loved it for Quake too. I still use it too.

TX here too. My 16-yo just got his learner's permit and that can't be done online. Many locations don't have available appointments for months. Some, such as in SE Texas, have same day appointments. We ended up driving over an hour away to get a same-week appointment.

Months-long wait times are just obscene.

test+test@example.com is a perfectly cromulent email address.

I bought mine around 2017.

I had a classic 101-key Unicomp Model M that I purchased while they were apparently having quality problems due to worn out tooling. The keys felt different than my real Model Ms and the spacebar frequently stuck. They've since refurbished the tooling and I hear the quality is back to the high level you would expect.

For me though I just chose to retire the Unicomp and refurbish my real Model Ms. I bought three about 20 years ago from https://www.clickykeyboards.com/ and sent them back last year. They're as good as new and they feel so good to type on. Plus I don't have those damned extra keys the "New" Model M has.

I tend to agree with you that prescriptive notions like this are a little misguided, but I like the spirit of what he's after here.

There are a lot of good practices there and I commend the author for sharing. I disagree with code freezes + manual QA verification -- why just dip your toes into CICD? -- and the advice about writing tests. "We don't have time to test now" results in a vicious circle.

They're pretty unbiased according to Media Bias Fact Check. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/arizona-capitol-times/
