Battery life on mine with a pretty minimal Arch install and TTY is around 10 hours when doing light web browsing and programming. Only problems I’ve had are hardware related. The trackpad isn’t 100% reliable (sometimes clicks don’t work and I have to press hard to get it to work again) and the hinge is far too loose. Love the laptop overall.

I’m currently using SvelteKit linked to a go backend. You don’t have to use any of the backend capabilities of SvelteKit if you don’t want to. It’s great to work with.

Since they deemed it a “commute,” I don’t think any of those ideas apply. Just like how they can’t stop faulty stop lights on a real commute.

Browser automation is nice for some projects, but when I used it I felt limited by the speed and inability to integrate captcha solving.

Have you used selenium IDE browser extension? If you do a lot of browser automation it’s a life saver.

Love the site. I’ve used 10fastfingers, typeracer, and monkeytype for fun and to improve my typing speed. My only comment is that it wasn’t immediately clear to me what the table was showing. CA pair or AC pair? Milliseconds? Also not sure what the buttons near the prompt do, maybe just because I’m on mobile.

Milk bags sound great. Never seen them in the US. It’s always difficult to store and then recycle the big plastic jugs.

Skimmed over some of the wiki and it looks like the answer is yes.

Pretty useless statement. No interesting information.

Tom Scott made a great video on this: https://youtu.be/n-Ej2EtE744

I looked at some other split keyboards online and determined the UHK would be best for me because of their customization software (UHK agent), adjustable feet for tenting, and module system. My UHK has their brown switches because I didn’t enjoy the blues I was using before. They seem just like cherry mx browns to me.

Site is perfectly fine. It’s nearly the same content as libgen but with a nicer search engine and a recommendation system.

I’ve used one for over a year and love it. Their software is easy to use for rebinding keys and setting up layers, the build quality is great, and the tented configuration has helped me with occasional wrist pain.

I haven’t used the new UHK, any of their addons, or the palm rest, so I can’t speak to those.

Making fun of them. A parody is when you impersonate something for humor.

Check out https://frame.work. That’ll certainly be my next laptop.

Not a fan of the name either. Yes, you can use all of the normal extensions. It's the same thing without telemetry.

Could just use Code - OSS that removes telemetry.

System76 developers like Rust. Many of their tools (daemons, CLIs, etc) use Rust. It would also help in this case because if it’s safety.

I commented above a few of the issues I see. For example, would Lebron James (or any celebrity or person that has genetics that are profitable) be afraid of giving blood for fear of someone making Lebron 2.0 without his permission?

Seems completely unethical to me. This would be more of an advancement for eugenics than anything else. Would people be scared of giving blood at blood drives? Could celebrities who don’t want to have children have cells taken from them and put through this process?

“We do not take the development of this technology lightly. Our hope is that it will one day be used to bring healthy kids into the world, so we must hold ourselves to very high safety and ethical standards. Our plan will be to work closely with scientific, regulatory and ethical experts to ensure this technology develops safely and responsibly.”

That’s up to the person posting it and there shouldn’t be a rule deciding either way for them.

I think there are some basic measures of readability that could be quantified. Off the top of my head, the ratio of keywords to symbols and the density of those keywords/symbols would make a difference. Seems like it can be specified and not just left at “is it written like I would write it,” but I can’t think of any other metrics right now.
