It makes a lot of sense for businesses, especially where different countries might have different regulations. E.g., amazon.ca and amazon.in. Both sites are in English but it makes way more sense to split them up by country.

+1 for Halls of Torment

It’s a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily

What are you going to do with the other 900mb?

That’s how you get the vibrant greens.

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.

I don’t think that’s something Gabe is interested in, but we’re talking about what will happen when he dies.

Never say never, but I don’t think it’s going to happen while Gabe is in charge

He did at one point. I think he’s said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.

It’s really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.

As a native, today was still bad.

I use a planck as my daily driver. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have some good reasons to switch.

It took about 2 weeks of use and practice before I could type at a reasonable rate with it. And then it took about 2 weeks before I could type on a normal keyboard again.

I had a few reasons why I got one

• I travel enough that having a small form factor was important
• I have small hands, and was developing some wrist pain from stretching and moving my hand on larger keyboards. It did help a lot, but I think switching to a 60% would have been just as helpful.
• I didn’t type that fast anyway and have pretty bad form, I was hoping switching layouts would be a natural way to retrain my typing and type faster. I did improve for a bit, but I stopped practicing and am a pretty terrible typer again

I do think it’s pretty cool. It’s a conversation starter when people walk by my desk. The planck is a 40%, so most people haven’t seen a keyboard that small.

VPNs are super common for business reasons. A lot of business travelers are going to use a VPN to access files and services only available on their network.

Using a big VPN might be risky; a self-hosted VPN should be less risky. I’d avoid torrenting though, even legal torrents.

Can you ask your IT department their recommendations?

You can’t have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It’s completely unhelpful.

Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.

Your solution: Don’t have long nails.

Someone didn’t read the article. She addresses exactly this.

I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

Now I finally understand the “both sides are the same” folks

Oh cool, I’ll have to switch. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I’d been using Firefox for years before that

My favorite project was C++; it was big, it was complicated, there was a massive team working on it, I got to work with high level abstractions while occasionally dealing with really low level concerns.

It was really hard, but now writing code in every other language I’ve worked in has been really easy.

Missionary for Mormon church enters the chat

The Word of Wisdom, which outlines the health guidelines of not drinking alcohol and using tobacco, as well as eating less meat, eating more grains; was originally just as the name suggests, words of wisdom.

Joseph Smith drank wine, used tobacco, and drank coffee up to his death.

It wasn’t until the early 20th century when it started to be treated as a commandment. This is around the time when they started codifying a lot of doctrine, stopped practicing polygamy, and started to function more like a mainstream religion and less like a cult.

Source: raised Mormon, went on mission, took religion classes at BYU-Provo on church history.

Technically it’s a different cult! The same insanity; this time with guns! Woo, America!

It’s even crazier than that, duckduckgo Rod of Iron Ministries and Moonies. It’s a church started by the son of a massive cult leader after his father died and there was a power struggle in the cult.
