Kinesis makes regular layout split keyboards.

One of the best sound tracks ever is Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike, heavily featuring jungle.

Is there a way to get funding through libraries? Kind of like how it's possible to read subscription journals and newspapers for "free" in the library. The library must be paying for the subscription right? I think there is a strong values alignment with public libraries and exercism.

Why is it a toy just because it has an order of magnitude less performance? Computers became powerful enough for most people decades ago. I get much more utility out of a computer that grows capability in other aspects like mobility and power consumption.

Not only are there tons of devices that don't support non TOTP, a lot of them are not optional due to monopoly or oligopoly. Government, for one. Banking is another (SMS "auth")

So many services now, including government, are requiring phones for "two step" authentication. There are technically alternatives like receiving a phone call or a secret word lookup table, but those are so impractical to use that I need my phone to be a TOTP device. I was close to putting in a preorder but I will need to see TOTP supported before I can drop my regular smart phone.

Would you consider adding armhf as a build target? This would make it useful for a wide range of older devices including Raspberry Pi 1 or 0, which are more likely to be used via console interface.

It's amazing that you've been able to ride on the coattails of another manufacturer's tooling investment in the panels.

Can you share the data sheet for this new panel? The previous matte panel has a very bright minimum brightness of 21 nits. What is the minimum brightness of this new panel?

I'd love to see Framework get into this space. It is such a HUGE waste to retire my NAS chassis and backplane when the compute portion gets too old. There could be some good synergies with the Laptop 13 mainboard, having a laptop-level TDP and with ARM possibly coming around the corner. Where I feel the risk is the market for NAS appliances doesn't feel very big ("prosumer" and mom and pop businesses?) and the differentiator really is in the software, not the hardware. i.e. People buy Synology for DSM, not the hardware.

I think I read somewhere that Framework doesn't have any plans to get into vertical integration, which saddens me. I'd love to have a Framework backed OS and have things working perfectly out of the box like sleep and touchpad feel.

Is there a closed form solution for this or is it an example of the three body problem?

I have one of these with a MacBook Pro 6,2 that I did the same upgrades to. However I finally decided to retire it when 2nd replacement battery swelled and Chrome stopped supporting OSX 13.

It didn't look like a good candidate for OpenCore Legacy because of the dual video cards, but it feels so gross recycling a perfectly working computer.

Interesting decision to leave out movies that were fake, then became real. Like Machete was fake until it became a real movie!

Watchy is something that you could customize to meet your needs. Looks like it has an accelerometer to do step counting.

The framework laptop has the potential to be a good platform for this.

It already is illegal, and people keep doing it. Trying to make addictive behaviour stop by making it illegal doesn't work for drugs and it doesn't work for using phones while driving.

> Young was relieved. He had come to a gradual realization that he hadn’t given enough weight to the fact that Alati was there by choice. “So if you’re in solitary confinement in prison, that’s a scary situation. You don’t know if you’re going to get out ever,” he said. “Here, if he lasts, he gets 100k, but these guys in solitary confinement get nothing – they have to do that.”

> Kupers says that distinction – “remembering why he is there, that it is not permanent” – is crucial. “Prisoners in solitary confinement tell me they are afraid they will never be released and they will die in solitary.”

> Alati was ready to leave the bathroom. He put on eclipse sunglasses, which blocked out any light, to protect his eyes.

I think this question reveals something more interesting about misunderstanding wealth inequality. You are thinking of wealth as a finite resource that needs to be managed.

That's not the world that Elon lives in. Elon in effect has infinite wealth. He could buy an island and still have infinite wealth. He could buy Twitter and burn it down and still have infinite wealth. He could make 100 other people billionaires and still have infinite wealth. There's no "instead" when it comes to talking about infinite wealth.

I think a more interesting question is why as a society do we allow people to have infinite wealth?

Changing the definition of anonymous to include pseudonymous is not a compelling argument that anonymity is the same as pseudonomity.

It's not that American English uses singular for groups of people. It's that American English sees Apple as a singular corporate entity.

British English peers past the corporate veil to see the singular corporation as it's underlying people.

There's a similar project called PICO-8.

It's a virtual console, with each game released so that the source is available and editable by design. The IDE has an integrated code editor, sprite editor, and music editor. The console side has cloud access to download new games and demos.

I love using modern cast iron. It's so much easier to clean and handle than teflon non-stick (I freely use metal scrubbers and utensils). Sure, I don't have to worry about ingesting forever chemicals in my body, but who cares if I have to buy another one for $3 in 20 years? (That's how long mine has lasted so far.) For 90% of cooking it works amazingly well. No worries about seasoning, if someone accidentally uses soap on it or whatever. Life is too short to spend babying a teflon pan with wooden and plastic utensils. I use my cast iron for everything.
