Requires a largish 3d printer (which I happen to have, one of the advantages of co-owning a makerspace:https://revolutionmakerspace.com/) or ordering a 3d print online.
I'm on my mobile so don't have a picture but will post one later.
One surprising thing to me?
I don't use it. At least, not much in comparison to my actual laptop.
It reminds me of folding keyboards for cell phones. I've bought a couple and thought, these are great, they'll make inputting text on a cell phone so much easier... except I don't end up carrying them around in my pocket, and so end up typing on my mobile phone using the touchscreen just like everyone else.
People think that a distraction free device will allow them to achieve their goals but it is actually the discipline to do the work which will allow them to achieve their goals; the device probably won't change that.
Reading the paper, does anyone see any reason why there would be a legitimate reason why someone would move to block submitting it for publication?
I also came on once to a set of projects where there wasn't a good separation of the environments; test and prod shared the same database, b/c it was "too hard" to replicate the prod data back to test. Consequently, no real DBA work could be done b/c it couldn't be tested, only small hot-patchy kind of work.
Separation of concerns is a slightly different problem but the root cause of the issue is similar, you need to be able replicate the complexity of your system in production as much as possible in a lower environment, otherwise you won't be able to make as significant changes as you'd like to your system.
I don't think this is terrible advice, while I recognize there are limits to what is possible to run locally/in lower environments, the central notion of 1) separation of concerns and 2)matching the complexity of the lower environment to production as much as possible is I think good advice.
One time at work, I insisted on getting access to a system I manage. When they added my name, the whole system came down for a day in production. I told them never mind, they deleted my name from the list of registered users, and the system came back up.
True story.

Here is a list of books I'd recommend:
Tuned In Joel on Software Don't Make Me Think The Lean Startup The Mythical Man Month The Art of Innovation: Lessons in Creativity from IDEO The Design of Everyday Things Escape Velocity Competition Demystified The Art of Agile Development
But since it provides you the option to use static types, I think the limitation is more in whether you do so or not, not in the language. If anything, by not forcing you to use static types, the language provides more options, which seems like a good thing...
Probably the best investing advice for people is really straightforward; you need to start saving now in order to reap the benefits when you retire.
A set of simple questions, such as your age, whether or not you are contributing to a 401k, and your net worth would probably get you 90% of the way there; from that information alone, most investing advice would follow based of basic mortality statistics, historical stock market performance, and the average retirement age.
The hard part is to start putting money away; that is, to start saving a significant portion of your savings and investing them in the market.
One way to do that might be to make it a one-time decision. What if there was a site where in order to sign-up you were required to setup direct deposit to special investing account? The investing account would, in turn, take a percentage of your salary, and invest it in age-appropriate index funds. The remainder would be re-deposited into a person’s local checking account. That way, it would feel like you only had the net amount that ends up in your checking account, and the invested amount would be removed before you had a chance to contemplate spending it.
A setup like this is something that someone could easily do for themselves using a discount broker, but a site that would more or less make it a one-time decision could be really helpful, because it would remove much of anxiety and education that a person typically has to go through to get this right.
