Thank You. I had not seen that one before.

I think it is a little silly that companies pay someone more just because they like living in a city. I admit that I have a strong preference for rural areas, but I don't expect an employer to pay me more (or less) because of that. I am constantly surprised that more companies don't setup in lower COL areas, but I guess that much of the in-person talent desires that enough to make it work.

Most people agree that it is good to treat people equally regardless of their background, and this policy seems to promote that.

Do you have an idea of a plan and timeline for adding more activity options?

The example activities are all listed as price/5-people. Do the costs scale linearly for larger groups?

My step mother told me that she "can't possibly be in the 1% because she doesn't even have a gardener."

I went to a good engineering school for college, but they also require everyone to take 3 years of history, 3 years of english, 2 semesters of a foreign language, a psychology course, ...

If it was left up to me I would not have taken most of those classes, and I suffered through many of them, but I think they were an important part of my education, and I am glad I came out of school knowing more than the engineering that I would have picked for myself.

Reading Google Fit data will require an external audit of the server involved and a fee of "between $15,000 and $75,000 (or more)" to a third party firm. This seems like a big barrier to reach a small market.

Is anyone else here currently using the Google Fit API? Will you continue to do so, and what size user-base do you have?

Is this going to kill everyone's mag strips?

I hadn't noticed that the esc key is moved which is kind of interesting. I actually decided that RGB would attract too much attention for me: One of my office mates is a 5-year-old right now, and I didn't want to distract from online kindergarten class too much.

Apple keyboards seem to have a different layout where the command key is lined up with the gap between X|C. Being a half key off took me a little getting used to.

Some mechanical keyboards are loud, but not all of them. My newest keyboard is a Kinesis Freestyle Pro with "Silent Red" switches. It is "mechanical" but quieter than my MBP. I am sharing a home office with my wife right now, and I was worried when I ordered the keyboard because she complains that my chair creaks and makes too much noise, but she was fine with the keyboard.

I have a CODE keyboard with brown switches at work, and putting dampers on all of the keys helped that quite a bit. My coworkers expressed some interest in that one, but no one complained.

The biggest benefit to me wasn't the split, it was the programmability which both the UHK and the Freestyle Pro offer. I use the right half of the spacebar to change layers and have mapped the arrow keys to IJKL on the function layer. This plus remapping Caps to backspace has let me keep my hands on the home row MUCH more than typical and has made me more comfortable and a little more efficient.

My only complaint about programming the Kinesis Pro keyboard was the the order of key presses matters when using my remapped arrows in combination with command or option to move by a word, or to the beginning of the line: I must press the Fn shift key (the right half of my spacebar) before any of the modifier keys. This was very annoying at first, but my muscle memory caught up with it fairly quickly. I really like the fact that the UHK has fully customizable firmware and that would add some value to me, but maybe wouldn't matter too much to most people.

What if I live on the East Coast and fly to California and back and what to see how my body reacted to the trip? Well some times will happen twice (and get overwritten), some will never happen, and who knows when the change happened in the middle (probably when you happened to sync your Fitbit, sometime after your phone changed timezones).

(1) To complain about

It is possible that this is what is happening, but I don't think it is likely.

It is a little surprising that they show both Respiration and HRV which are not available over the Fitbit API. I wonder how much other data they collect that isn't made publicly available.

I sent a rude email to Gumstix in 2012 that I regret. If you are on here I am sorry.

I have Caps Lock remapped to Backspace, even when I don't have a programmable keyboard plugged in. I know Caps to Esc is also very common for Vim users, but I find I make typos a lot more often than I use Vim.

Using launchd you can even do this before login so that it works in the login window.

I was using Control-A and Control-K a lot on the command line to jump to the beginning of the line, and then erase the rest of the line and tried it once somewhere else and it worked! The other way to do this same sequence (Cmd-right Cmd-Shift-Left)doesn't work in the terminal, and would require me to take my hands off the home row to use the arrow keys (until recently [1] )

Option+arrow to jump by a word is also handy, but I almost never land exactly where I want relative to punctuation the first time.

[1] I am currently using a Kinesis Freestyle Pro with arrows mapped to right-spacebar + [IJKL]. They are still working out some issues for me where it fails if I press Command before Fn (mapped to right space bar). If anyone has a split keyboard recommendation where this would currently work without the order dependency issues with the modifier keys please let me know!
