To maintain a fair comparison, GitHub has supported self-hosted runners for several years (maybe that doesn’t work for your specific usage, for whatever reason).

Tangentially related, when I was on the rowing team in college the coxswain commonly replaced ‘seven’ (the only two syllable number in the 1-10 range) with ‘save’, to maintain a smooth cadence for counting 10 strokes.

You can see my first build (blue) in several of these pictures following similar advice to OP's guide (looping diodes, etc), with one modification where I used copper tape for the columns instead of wires.

Then the first picture you can see how much cleaner the single-switch PCB ends up, and I can assure it was far easier to solder / strip / assemble.

There are certain kinds of fully custom keyboards, such as the one I use (Dactyl Manuform) where the keys do not sit on a single flat plane. Such a build would require a flexible PCB. This is doable for the advanced-amateur EE but the geometry is fiddly, at best, and doesn't allow for easy experimentation on key placement (spacing, offset, radius, etc, the bigger problem for me).

I've found the happy medium with single-switch PCBs ("Amoeba" is a popular one), which are fast and easy to wire up. Most notably you don't have to do the painstaking row wire stripping -- just use a plain wire from one PCB to the next in the key matrix (or an insulated wire if you have to traverse other components, which still only requires two stripped ends).

I have a few pictures floating around from my build(s) if that interests anyone.

(I'm not the parent commenter), but I believe a defining quality of a senior developer is someone who I can give any problem/project to in the business domain and they return with a solution in the technical domain.

How exactly do you escape the tech world when you want? Just visiting SV for a couple days was borderline oppressive to me! Everyone has an idea for an app, nearly every bar or restaurant patron was discussing something technical. How do you overcome the lack of professional diversity, or am I just hypersensitive to it? Chicago is admittedly not all that diverse (we have lawyers, accountants, consultants, or tech) but the jump from ~1 profession to >1 profession results in a wildly different experience for me.

Fascinating, did he work there long enough to know Edwin Hubble?

FYI, in this comment section there's a lengthy discussion regarding Start Citizen's development; lots of good answers to your question there.

I think you could say that Star Citizen is the modern spiritual successor to the Wing Commander series (and is being created by the same person, Chris Roberts).

I don't have stake in this one way or the other, but will you argue in favor of Instacart's '$10 service fee' (as mentioned by parent commenter)?

With 'Reachability' enabled (Settings -> General -> Accessibility), you can partially get around this. Activate Reachability (swipe down on home bar), then swipe down on the (now-easier-to-reach) battery/signal area to access the control center. It should be noted this trick does not work from the lock screen.

Edit: this still works even if the battery/signal icon isn't there, you just have to guess approximately where the new location for the 'top right' of the screen is, and swipe down there to get the control center.

Edit2: messed around a little more and I guess you can actually access notifications using this method, it doesn't feel very consistent for me though.

This is a great resource for astrophotographers. I always check it prior to traveling somewhere new (particularly the western US) to see if it's worth packing equipment and taking a detour for photo opportunities.

Hah, yes and no. The card said we wanted the money to go to the person we thought needed it the least. However, he knew he was not well-liked, presumably connected the dots, and thought it was funny anyways.

Did something similar to this at a previous employer. We had a problem with a particular weekly meeting starting on time, so we all agreed on a $1 late fee, per minute. At year's end, the collected fees were gifted to one of the firm's wealthy executives whom we all disliked. The meeting's on-time rate skyrocketed.

You should read Children of Time.

Not only is it wrong, but it's wildly misleading about why dependency inversion is desirable. This article is trash; it's basically a copy/paste of the Wikipedia entry on dependency inversion, rewritten awkwardly (not to mention the usage of Comic Sans).

This is completely off topic, but does it bother anybody else that we live in a world where the CEO of any technologically savvy company disseminates announcements as a picture of text?

And they are sorry they got caught, not sorry they did it. As is tradition.
