I’ve had a few of these over the years, possibly the best value for price ever. Every place I live, I just get another one and leave it there like some kind of Johnny Bidetseed.

With an open field, who would you vote for president?

Now given the field has two candidates, who do you think will do a better job between the two? I’m actually curious to hear your answers and why.

Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job. Why do you see that as an important attribute? Does the President of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room? Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?

Golden chandelier sure is proud about his efforts to oppress his fellow Americansenemies. He really hates Americans having freedom I guess

Run runner!

Looks like, nasty weather…

Can you link the wallpaper too?

I love this game, it’s got so much flavor and drama. Yeah some of the missions are practically impossible, but there’s something about cruising along on a hilly road, watching the city lights

I mean I hate that the steam controller is missing an entire thumb stick and a dpad, but I like the touchpad too. This just seems like an PS4 controller.

Wow that’s good news, I’ll have to give it a shot

Am I going to have a bad time trying to switch to Wayland? I just use discord, Spotify, steam, some basic steam games, Krita, and emacs

That sucks, you’re doing the right thing. Did you consider getting the tapes of who did it from the store cameras? Although it’s probably too late now. They should be punished for their toxic behavior.

There definitely are people who’s empathy hasn’t improved. Maybe two-thirds of the population’s empathy has improved, but the remainder became even more sociopathic. They get mad when people wear masks, when billionaires get taxed, or when medical services are given to homeless people. There is a group that just lives on fear and rage. They somehow think that keying someone’s car who wears a mask is justified because…? Maybe just that they saw people wearing masks during the pandemic and concluded masks cause pandemics.

I suppose this is a hot take, but I’d never intentionally select a closed source paid database or programming language. Your data is the most valuable thing you have. The idea that you’d lock yourself into a contract with a third party is extremely risky.

For example, I’ve never seen a product on Oracle that didn’t want to migrate off, but every one has tightly coupled everything Oracle so it’s nearly impossible. Why start with Oracle in the first place? Just stay away from paid databases, they are always the wrong decision. It’s a tax on people who think they need something special, when at most they just need to hire experts in an open source database. It’ll be much much cheaper to just hire talent.

Meanwhile I’ve done two major database shifts in my career, and you are correct, keeping to ANSI standard SQL is extremely important. If you’re on a project that isn’t disciplined about that, chances are they are undisciplined about so many other things the whole project is a mess that’ll be gone in ten years anyway. I know so few projects that have survived more than fifteen years without calls for a “rewrite”. Those few projects have been extremely disciplined about 50% of all effort is tech debt repayment, open source everything, and continuous modernization.

I don’t think it’s going away until ECMA supports native types. Until then it’s the best game in town.

If a team decides to move away from it, it’s only few hours work to entirely remove. So even if it’s going away, it’s risk free until then.

But I cannot imagine why any team would elect to remove Typescript without moving to something else similar. Unless it’s just a personal preference by the developers who aren’t willing to learn it. It removes so many issues and bugs. It makes refactoring possible again. I think teams that want to remove all types are nostalgic, like a woodworker who wants to use hand tools instead of power tools. It’s perfectly fine, and for some jobs it’s better. But it’s not the most efficient use of a team to build a house.

Hey you started out by suggesting something that at one point would have been pretty helpful for me. Maybe you got a bit riled up by some of the responses. Some people are always going to be mean on the Internet.

The original meme made me laugh, I love the idea that such a new take would rile everyone up (even if it didn’t really). I imagine you suggest some duplicate keys and mothers are covering kid’s ears, old church ladies are fainting, and the young men are wanting to fight. A religious leader gravely denounces the new heresy.

Then the edit to the meme format?! I love it.

That being said, it almost seems like you’re blowing it all out of proportion. Rejection sensitivity is common, and easy to feel with online communities.

You’re welcome to be here, I like your creativity and out of the box thinking. Maybe cool off, have a laugh, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other creative keyboard ideas you come up with.

If you didn’t want to make one custom, you could get a programmable keyboard like a ZSA Moonlander and then use a layer to have the three extra keys on the inside be the extra keys you want.

This is excellent, well done

You definitely described it perfectly: total chaos.

Titles are just “how valuable you are to that team”.

Every team has different needs, so a senior engineer in one team might be a junior on another team that has a totally different set of needs. There is also no standardized titles, so it mostly is just “whatever they want to call it”.

Yeah but are you using it or are you using the closed source options?

This is absolutely cursed and brilliant. Bravo!

Now I just need to find a place to use it.
