> surely it must be damaging to the kidneys.

Alcohol is processed in the liver, not the kidneys, and excessive chronic drinking does have long term effects.

It just hit all time highs ($0.087), so relatively speaking yes.

This one looks really promising, thank you for sharing it!

That's the same one I use, it really is the most comfortable one I have found after trying a good number of them.

I remember not being able to use the scroll modifier as a back button as well (something else I struggle to live without) but looking more into it - it looks like that's either an incorrect memory or no longer true!

I had that one for a bit, it felt really low quality and not very comfortable (at least for my hand shape).

This project and concept is really awesome.

However for me - I’ve never found one that has everything I want, and I haven’t taken the time to try to make it yet. However I really want the Logitech marble mouse with a scroll wheel. If I could have that combination I’d be pretty elated.

Ever since type hinting came about I wanted a library like typer (I had a few attempts to write one, but often lost motivation with other things). This was the first time I’ve seen it and am excited to read more into it!

It doesn’t seem like it, all the pieces of the story I’m interested in are _yada yada_, basically the bits between immigrating in the 80s and being able to buy up various real estate, that seems to be a missing piece of this individual’s grind I want to know more about.

What’s crazy to me is that despite much of this and my general dislike of ruby, I still often reach for rails to get an idea up and out. For my uses I’d rather just test something out and either let it burn down quickly or pay the price eventually to fix it (an old colleague called this a “champagne problem”). I’ve only had to pay the price a few times, which probably made each sequential one easier to avoid some parts.

Rails is still a phenomenal framework to use, again something I somewhat begrudgingly admit.

I’m going to have to take a look at this, this sounds awesome thank you!

While this is true, the spirit of the GP is correct. To login you will need both a username/password and the second factor. So losing the key is still relevant. In practice that means people really need to buy (at least) two yubikeys to register with services that allow it. Have one on something that’s always with you (such as keys) and the extra(s) as a backup somewhere secure. Unfortunately this works with most accounts except the big one I want it to... AWS.

Some sites allow you to also register a standard MFA device as a fallback, and further still Google (as an example) allows you to use another device that’s already authenticated to get a one time use code (depending on your account security setup).

It would be interesting and probably a big deal to test this out, I don’t think I have the chops for it but hope to read about it if you (or anyone else) gives it a shot!

There can be options, the OpenDime[0] is one that’s intriguing. The owner seeds the entropy before it can be used and the only way to get the private key is to physically (and visibly) alter it.

I’ve had a lot of hope for wsl2, so much so that I’ve been using it as my daily os. However recently some directories under wsl2 are just empty and seem to be unrecoverable. I’ve filed a bug, however I can’t find a way to reproduce it so I don’t expect much motion. So far it’s just random directories are empty and I can’t delete them due to the resource being busy, and unfortunately the Linux utilities to check the locks on the directories error out.

I hope I’m just the exception here, but I’ve had to start re-evaluating what I’m going to do longer term, the short term is easier (push all).

I lived in SLC for a bit and loved it there, I can only imagine how great it is further out from the city. Utah seemed undiscovered at the time, and since leaving our house value has skyrocketed near Liberty Park, and tech has exploded. It seems the local term is "the silicon slopes", which is creative.

Fair enough, the ensure_future() vs create_task() has confused me more than once. It would have been nice if there was a different namespace for the lower level API. Even so, the docs aren’t even clear on when which of the two is appropriate: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio..... https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-future.html#asynci....

To save others the search regarding a nursery: https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#okay-let...

I don’t see much more useful here than understanding the asyncio primitives and available synchronization abstractions, just a different API mostly overlapping the same need

To be clear, trio also has more than one way to wait for a task - any await is the same (e.g. `await trio.sleep(N)` (e.g. `await asyncio.sleep(N)`). I think maybe you’re getting at waiting for a group of tasks?

Having a culture that discusses in public channels definitely helps, though many remote organizations aren’t this way unfortunately and silo chatter to known relevant parties vs any interested group.

Having been on Linux the last 6 or so years (with Mac laptops sprinkled in), I’ve been very pleased playing with windows again. So much so that I’m trying to daily drive it just to know what it’s like anymore. Other than a few minor annoyances with WSL2 (such as systemd) it’s been going surprisingly well.

This is really cool, thanks!

There’s been some discussion on this topic here, though a slightly different angle, just for reference - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23103386

My T530 survived flying off the roof of a car (in my unpadded backpack, to be clear) at 80mph when the straps for the roof bag ripped off cruising through Iowa. There was a small bit of plastic missing in one corner, otherwise nothing! To date that’s been my favorite laptop (aside from the bad screens thinkpads used to have).

Fortunately, rails has solid support for API only rails apps. Jbuilder is pretty great. In my experience, there’s still nothing in the node ecosystem that rivals ActiveRecord’s maturity.

You're probably right with all the one-off and fairly small dependencies in the npm ecosystem. Seeing those numbers would be pretty neat to compare side-by-side.

> Also NPM is quite a bit bigger than both the Ruby and Python library spaces.

I don’t know, so I have to ask, what’s the metric here?

I have a T490 and also run Arch, I believe for me there was a fix for the intel throttling in a firmware (BIOS) update. I don’t know if it was the same issue as the 480 but believe I saw it in the release notes for supported laptops.

As far as I know, most new features are opt in - I’d be curious what issues you’ve seen? I recall one recent one that bit me in dependencies on private repos is the new mirror/sum where we need to `export GOPRIVATE=github.com/<us>`. In a way I’m thankful it was so simple, but while I figured out what happened I wasn’t very happy.

I don’t think that’s true, though it may depend on the make and model - the related service manual should be consulted. Limp mode is intentional and is mostly meant to limit function while sensors may be disabled, compromised or uncertain. There’s a sensitivity to drivetrain timing that narrows as RPMs increase (e.g. approach redline), limp mode seems to mostly use sane defaults for everything to avoid catastrophic failure in that type of scenario.

True, though some cars fall into “limp mode” making it challenging to drive very far. That typically limits the max RPM if a potential catastrophic drivetrain issue is detected while not also stranding you.

The difference to me of the Model 3 not being able to start and an ICE car, is there’s a nonzero chance one (either alone or with help) can get back on the road in the latter.
