I built a crkbd using a PCB I bought from littlekeyboards.

I was a happy HHKB 2 Pro Type S user for many years, but since switching to the crkbd I have no intention of ever using the HHKB again.

It required minimal soldering (the ProMicro and OLED hotswap sockets). I went through a few sets of switches before I found what I liked, took a few months to find a combination of layers/layouts that worked for me, and had to learn how to use an ortho keyboard in the process, but it was all worth it. (I’m a Dvorak+QWERTY user, and think the switch to ortho was was easier than learning Dvorak, and has a similar feels good motivation to continue learning it.)

I never had RSI problems, but what I did notice was with the split keyboard and tented cases, my posture opened up dramatically. My shoulders no longer have an anterior tilt when I type.

For those that don’t hear a voice in your head, do you get songs stuck in your head?

If the WiFi has a login portal, you might not get redirected to it when accessing an https site. If you go to this site, you’re more likely to get properly redirected.

It’s a book that really needs to be read twice, if only to fully appreciate those first 250 pages. They go from not making sense at all to being quite good.

These steps didn't work for me; I failed at creating the self-signed certificate:

  yubico-piv-tool -a verify-pin -a selfsign-certificate -s 9a -S "/CN=SSH key/" --valid-days=3650 -i yubikey.pub.pkcs8 -o cert.pem -v
  trying to connect to reader 'Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP+U2F+CCID'.
  Action 'verify-pin' does not need authentication.
  Action 'selfsign-certificate' does not need authentication.
  Now processing for action 'verify-pin'.
  Enter PIN:
  Successfully verified PIN.
  Now processing for action 'selfsign-certificate'.
  Failed sign command with code 6a80.
  Failed signing certificate.

If I understand you correctly, Safari does this on both iOS and macOS.

If you click a link that opens a new tab and swipe back from that new tab, Safari closes the new tab and shows you the previous tab.

I’m not exactly sure of the behavior when you open a new tab, then go to another tab, then back to the tab that was opened and then swipe back, though.

Like with anything, it should be evaluated based on what your needs are.

For a simple deploy you probably don't need Kubernetes or even containers.

If you are running containers, you'll need a mechanism for running them. And maybe at some point you want something to recreate them when they die or become unhealthy. Maybe you want to run multiple containers, and you want to do rolling deploys of them. Maybe you want to run them on multiple hosts and network them together. Maybe you want to be able to attach a persistent disk to some of them, or interface with some secrets management software. And maybe you want a single, well-supported API for doing all of the above.

There's a lot more that can be said about Kubernetes; it offers a lot out of the box as well as an API for extending it when you need behavior it doesn't provide.

Think of it another way: the locals overwhelmingly agreed to change the rules because they probably understood that while they could adapt to the rule, outsiders probably would not be as well-informed.

Someone making a right turn after hours paints themselves as a potential outsider who doesn’t know the rules and, given the location’s history, is probably there to solicit sex.

I like that the community was empowered to make this change.

“He was, in my humble opinion, a technology genius, a computer math genius,” says Martha Walters Barnett, a former TLO chief privacy officer. “He was among the first to acknowledge … that insignificant, unrelated pieces of data, when put together in the right way, could become a powerful tool.”

Hmm.

David Burnham published The Rise of the Computer State (ISBN-10: 0394514378) in 1983. In the "Data Bases" chapter, he writes about how transactional data (when you swipe a credit card, when you pay a bill) that used to exist on paper only was then starting to be stored in databases by different companies which, with the rise of cheap and fast networking, could then be quickly and easily combined in previously unfeasible ways. He specifically calls out credit reporting agencies TRW and Equifax, and warns that "the astounding power of these records is not appreciated by the public, the courts or Congress."

It's a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it.

These things are pretty but terrible to use as a customer. It's not obvious where the sensor for Apple Pay is and it's impossible to use with an Apple Watch. Philz Coffee and Blue Bottle have them in San Francisco and I much prefer the old card reader/Pay point.

The San Francisco League of Pissed Off Voters has things to say about London Breed (http://www.theleaguesf.org/#london) and Jeff Sheehy (same page, scroll down).

If you liked this article, I recommend his book, Chaos Monkeys, about his time at Facebook as an Ads product manager.

Wireless charging.

I have a 2015 MacBook and also use a HHKB Pro 2 Type S; both wildly different keyboards.

I think the MacBook keyboard is wonderful, though I prefer my HHKB. It requires a different method of hitting the keys, but I have no problem going between the two, or to any of the other keyboards I use.

I recall when Apple first came out with the thin aluminum keyboards that it took me some time to adjust from what I was using at the time, a Microsoft Ergo something or other with huge key travel and vague key actuation feel.

If you get pain while using any keyboard you should look into how you're using it, and why you're getting that pain.

Huh. Taking that a step further, instead of Face ID being a (probably) static shot of your face, what if it were a sequence? For example, if you could set your "code" to be smiling and then frowning? Or, given it can detect eye location ("awareness"), looking at different corners of the phone in a particular sequence?

Has anyone seen anything about how to get it not to unlock automatically with your face when you look at it?

I have bus times on my lock screen, one swipe to the left away. That seems to become obsolete if the phone automatically unlocks when I look at it.

Additionally, swiping up from the bottom is the single least effective swipe for me. Pulling up Control Center fails for me more often than not, with the little "looking for me?" rectangular handle popping up on the bottom, and still it doesn't work well.

I wonder also what this means for screenshots; with no Home Button to push along with the power button, what do you do? And what do those screenshots even look like, given the ears at the top of the display?

On re-reading books:

The first time I read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace I found myself unable to determine what was Important for much of the first few hundred pages. None of it made sense and I couldn't figure out what The Point of the book was. I kind of read the pages but didn't really take any of it in.

The second time I read it was a completely different experience: those first pages immediately made sense, and I derived a sense of pleasure in reading them that I didn't have the first time around.

Chris McDougall's book, "Born to Run", is another source that's been out for a while. It focuses on endurance running, but also heavily on barefoot or nearly-barefoot running.

Rippetoe has done some "how to" videos for The Art of Manliness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhVC_AnZYYM&list=PLLIasrSrFG...

Alan Thrall runs a Sacramento gym and has a number of videos on technique: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLibo-Z1-9Z6jPVfvHhy0v...

I like Rippetoe's book (mentioned in the article), but I also think anyone just getting into it should get a personal trainer that knows what they're doing to teach them how to squat.

Squatting correctly is hard. It's a complex movement that involves the entire body and requires you to do things you probably are not used to doing, and mobility you probably do not have.

Is there a business opportunity here?

If Amazon wants complete control over the interview experience, maybe there's room for a service that rents out small office spaces, like ZipCar or AirBnB, but for a desk/small office with just a Chromebook, for this express purpose.

Amazon or any other company could say they need a desk close to some place on some date, and the service could make one available that meets the requirements (laptop, multiple camera feeds, etc).

Or maybe this already exists?

People don't realize how negative an impact social media and its related notifications can have at work. I recently wrote a blog post about notifications at work while pairing: http://krishicks.com/post/notifications/

I love how simple and helpful this page is. It tells you what this distro is, describes its default behavior and how to change it (e.g. systemd/sysvinit, single-user/multi-user), gives you the default credentials and links to ISOs describing which you should use ("for older PC") all on one page.

Compare that to ubuntu.com which takes 5 clicks just to get to the download and has none of the above information easily available.

When doing this, be wary of what a friend of mine calls "misfactoring", an example of which being where you take three very similar, very readable bits of code and convert them into a single, parameterized mess that isn't understandable at all.

You can add a custom resource type (http://concourse.ci/resource-types.html) to add these integrations.

There's a Pivotal Tracker resource that does what you describe: https://github.com/concourse/tracker-resource
