I'm so tired of looking at benchmarks. I always look fwd to the pelicans.
I own a Withings Scanwatch 2 (and owned a nokia steel hr before that) and can confidently say it is just enough smart watch for me.
beware, their sync will go down for weeks and you may lose all your data. https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1hgfmoh/vivaldi_s... https://www.reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/comments/1htf6l7/all...
Now its a real joy checking my channel feeds on the weekend and queueing things up to watch later. I have excellent stuff to chew through when I feel like it - in the gym, cooking, cleaning etc. I really look forward to doing these things now.
Switching profiles takes a few clicks but the upside has been totally worth it. It's a shame they don't make this workflow more obvious (You have to go to Account -> Switch accounts -> View all channels -> Create a channel) to set this up.
I wish more social media allowed you to bucket your feed into "interests". Maximizing clicks/views doesn't have to come at the cost of scattered attention.
Is it a niche though? Logitech, cheap BT keyboards etc mostly stick to this layout. And it's not just the left side that is the issue - they move fn to the right in place of the alt key. Can't cmd-alt-i with 1 hand anymore!
The only other keyboards I've seen with this mac-like layout are -
- https://nuphy.com/collections/keyboards/products/nutype-f1?v... which looks slick but I much prefer the 75% layout
- https://electronicmaterialsoffice.com/ which I can't justify paying for right now
> an external version of the MacBook keyboard with hotswap switches, RGB, and caps
Wow, this is almost exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for the rec! It's a shame they don't ship to where I am right now. I'll try to pick one up next time I travel.
It makes no sense that you can get a 12.9" iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular but not a 13" MBA Wi-Fi + Cellular. Sure, battery life might take a bit of a hit but I like that compromise more than needing to fret about my phone's battery levels because of the extra drain from tethering.
If you take 74px off the height for the notch/menubar area, you get 3024 x 1890 and 3456 x 2160 which are both 16:10.
Thought it might be useful to share here
Here's an excerpt:
Sadly, the above scenario is more truth than fiction – for computer enthusiasts. There is a particularly cruel discrepancy between what a creative child imagines the trade of a programmer to be like and what it actually is. When you are a teenager, alone with a (programmable) computer, the universe is alive with infinite possibilities. You are a god. Master of all you survey. Then you go to school, major in “Computer Science,” graduate – and off to the salt mines with you, where you will stitch silk purses out of sow’s ears in some braindead language, building on the braindead systems created by your predecessors, for the rest of your working life. There will be little room for serious, deep creativity. You will be constrained by the will of your master (whether the proverbial “pointy-haired boss,” or lemming-hordes of fickle startup customers) and by the limitations of the many poorly-designed systems you will use once you no longer have an unconstrained choice of task and medium. To my knowledge, no child grows up “playing doctor” and still believes as a teenager (or even as a college student) that an actual medical practice resembles that activity. Likewise, no one has a fully functional toy legal system to play with as a child, and as a result goes into law. On the other hand, “adult” programming, seen from afar, is enough like child-programming to set the computer-enthusiast child up for just this kind of exceptionally cruel bait-and-switch.
I just wish you had more information about your company online (Angellist/Crunchbase etc). I think few people would be willing to put in 3-4 hours on a coding challenge unless they had a good idea about your funding, size etc.
I might have got a coding challenge from you a few weeks back but skipped it because I didn't have enough information. Ah well.. might do it this weekend.
Hope this helps!
I guess I'll just try next time.. and I hope Norvig stays for a few more batches.
I doubt they're still available to buy online though. You should be able to find them on youtube or torrent them.
If you're looking for a good book, check out Guthrie Govan's Creative Guitar series[1]. They're wonderful!

Also, you're going to sound like shit if you're forced to play a cheap, badly setup guitar. (oh-this-guitar-sucks-so-i-cant-play is a terrible excuse, trust me.)
Another reason why I think this is a bad idea - you have no idea what kind of guitar you want when you're starting out. You dont know what wood you want, if you want humbuckers or single coils, floating or fixed bridge. You don't want to buy a 5000$ custom shop Les Paul and realize you're not comfortable playing it.
