Any chance you would care to share more about this?

Good one!

At the time, no. There wasn't any checking. And while it looks like a lot, it wasn't insanely expensive to unwind. Sometimes these kind of mistakes make money. My own 'mistake profit /loss' was around +1m USD.

No, the gui input field das just 100000000000 vs 10000000000. Oops

I've been in the room when it happened. In one memorable incident, a junior trader I sat opposite bought 100 bn Japanese Yen instead of 10 bn. His excuse? "I lost track of the zeros". We'd only hired the guy because he had a PhD and "PhD's are smart" - lol. In his defense the UI was awful. He left soon after...

Halfway down the downward scroll is subverted into a left -> right scroll.

No - just, no.

If you want to see where the ultra of analogue keyboards is these days, then watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv6Rh8UNWlI

It's a completely 3d printed, fully analog, fully per key adjustable activation depth, magnetic levitation, mega RGB keyboard. Absolutly insane.

For sane people there's always the wooting HE https://wooting.io/wooting-60he which by most people's count is the best gaming keyboard money can buy right now.

Yeah that's where I'm headed also, it's more reliable to push the configs rather than have them poll/pull automatically.

There's also https://github.com/zhaofengli/colmena which may be of interest to folks.

Thank you sir!

I don't think so, by default I think the nixos process will simply stop (probably by sending SIGINT) the service and then start it again.

But if you could have the server into 'lame duck mode' (no new connections accepted, but existing ones can finish) / gracefull shutdown and that's a blocking call (or you could poll if it's still up etc), then you could script that before the 'nixos-rebuild switch' call. Maybe sending SIGINT to the service does that already?

Or, you could use NixOS and just declare your systems in some text files, git commit; git push.

You build script becomes:

   while true; do

   git pull

   nixos-rebuild switch

   sleep x

   done

That's it. You can even do it remotely and push the new desired state to remote machines (and still build on the target machine, no cross compile required).

I've completely removed Ansible as a result and no more python version mismatches, no more hunting endless task yaml syntax, no more "my god ansible is slow" deplyments.

The wooting keyboards have been able to do this for years.

I have had an uncapped symmetric 10Gbps connection for ~50 USD / month for more than 10 years.

Watch Rick and morty s6e8 and you will see a great meditation on the topic.

The SEC regulates the entire US banking industry, and yet 2008 still happened.

How is this news? Answer, it's not.

How problematic. Not least because hiring for 'culture fit' is an anti-pattern, and orgs should be hiring for 'culture add'.

I believe it's custom, because the mechanical part is actually just part of a sensor (it's just a magnet in a slider). The other part is the hall effect sensor which is soldered on the board. So, you can't drop these mechanical parts on to another board, they aren't self contained switches.

I believe it measures distance, so possibly speed as well, and force could be computed with knowledge of spring resistance. However, I don't think I saw anything in their material relating to these two terms.

If you want something you can actually buy, check out the wooting he

https://next.wooting.io/wooting-60he

You can set per key actuation points, and bind multiple different inputs to the same key but different depths, etc.

Great review here

You can even mod it into another case for the DIY crowd.

And where would they buy the roubles? And with what? However you cut it, buying gas from Russia means sending them EUR somehow. So the rouble thing is just a divertion from the real issue, which is people dying in Ukraine.

Can you use the space mouse in 3 games? That would be cool!

I don't do cad work, but I'm tempted to get a SpaceMouse for the sheer coolness factor.

Sounds like "You are holding it wrong"

Err, what software? I can set scroll wheel acceleration on ubuntu, with no additional software.

Using HDMI on my camera has a lower resolution output than USB, plus it has an overlay. Again on Ubuntu, USB just works.

What if he doesn't want to? IPhones have some pretty terrible UI issues too.

Disabling acceleration on scroll wheels of 3rd party mice - Nope. Can you stand scrolling 1 pixel, 1 pixel, 1 pixel, 1/3 the whole screen? I can't.

Want to use a 15 year old DSLR as a webcam over USB? Nope.

I sent the MBP back. No way I'm putting up with that crap!

are not just in kids, they've been in adults and kids for millenia

Please stop perpetuating such misleading tropes.

Thank goodness for firefox reader mode.

I don't like seeing white lines as an after image on my retinas.

Switzerland is indeed extremely expensive for most things, but consumer technology is actually OK here. A low sales tax of ~8% actually makes some products made in China cheaper here that in Germany.

Oh, and a lot things like infrastructure actually work out cheaper because of the massive investment sunk in up front. It is a case of spending more now, to save more in the long run.

Switzerland. ~50 USD / month. Includes TV on demand with replay etc, and hardware.

It is possible also to get 25G for the same monthly rate, but you need your own hardware.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha, ha ha ha! Ha ha! What a joke!
