One feature I decided was a requirement is holding me up. I really want pogo pins on the sides of the keyboards, so that they magnetically attach and the left will charge the right.
How do you charge the left and the right since they require separate cables?
The problem there would be your breaker. I am not an electrition but I can tell you that when I tried adding a heated MAU to my house, I had to switch to a 120v washer/dryer because my electric panel did not have space for another 208v line.
(Note, my building is actually 3 phase 208 volt not 240volt so I don't have 240 volt plugs but 208volt plugs)
This is why being in low interest debt is so amazing. Take two people with the exact same job tracks, same appartments, family, interests, etc...
But give one of them $2,000,000 in mortgage debt at 3.0% interest on 3 properties that are rented out, and don't have the other have anything.
In 15 years, those properties will be worth 2-3x as much, and the debt will still be 2,000,000. This is what happened to boomers even though they don't realize it. Its not that houses are some amazing investment, its that no one will give you 7figure loans at 3% interest to buy stocks with money you don't have, but they will do it for a property.
I have come to absolutely detest online shopping. I have to return so much stuff, live with so many things that I don't actually love, generate sooooo much trash, and spend hours on hours researching everything because I can't hold it in my hand.
Then I walk into REI and ask them if I can try on a size 9 wide of a running shoe. They tell me they don't have it, so I ask them if they have any wide... they don't have a single wide shoe. Then I ask what they have and they say "Ohh we have 200 of the exact same shoe in the exact same size in stock"
And then I go order 5 different 9-wide shoes on amazon and return 4....
I have worked for a few defense contractors in my time. There is significantly more diversity outside of defense than inside defense.
I had a team of 14 with 2 women and 1 non-white male.
I had a team of 10 with 0 women and 0 non-white male.
I had a team of 20 with 1 women and 0 non-white male.
Looking at it another way, thats 40 successful white male hires, and 4 successful non-white male hires.
if only having access to 91% of jobs instead of 100% is the reason you can't get hired....
edit: To clarify, as a software developer of 10+ years both in defense and faang, I have never once had a team where there was less than 50% white men.
I found the plugin did not prompt the model often enough. I would finish writing aline, and go to a new line and sit there waiting to see what the AI thought would be next, only to realize continue wasn't prompting...
Which is not always a bad idea, having a local supply and innovation of something can be rather important, local money is less "Gone" than foreign money, think of how healthy small towns are when all of the shops are local vs when they are not.
The problem comes when there is no realistic local competition. If you don't make something locally at all, an import tariff is just a stupid tax.
The problem here is that apple only provides Metal as the graphics driver. This solution instead creates a native Vulkan driver which has solutions to hardware<->vulkan incompatibilities built in at the driver level.
Have you never been at work being forced to do something because you need money but you just are not feeling it that day? Obvious mistakes will ALWAYS happen, regardless of rules, regulations, human involvement, process, etc. It's thoughts like this
"How can we make sure this doesn't happen again"
"Its unacceptable than an obvious mistake happened"
that make corporations so full of random rules, because they think it's possible to prevent things like this. What matters is the frequency with which they happen, and how gracefully you handle yourself after it happened.
If it makes you feel better, there is a miniscule that the people responsible for it, the people who permitted it, and the executives who oversaw it could possibly go to prison for not doing it. fiduciary duty baby!
I think something that companies often miss is that improving the experience in an area where you have a monopoly can still increase profits by encouraging increased usage of that area.
The example I always go to is U-Haul in the US. They have a functional monopoly on quickly getting a pickup truck or small box car. I used to tell people there was no need to own a pickup truck because I could go grab one for $30 once or twice a month when I needed it.
After a year of shitty apps, constantly being sold things I didn't need because they try to secretly upsell you 50 times during checkout. Having to go into the store to get the keys and wait in line for 1 hour behind people screaming about how they were cheated... I bought a truck.
U-Hual still has their monopoly, but they lost my business, not because I went to a competitor, but because I altered my life to no longer need their business.
Maybe instead of buying eink tablets, I would have kept printing things had printers been better products.
I don't know about you, but I also find concerts very strange and off putting. Like, is "Denver" really a special crowd? I'm pretty sure you are doing a very staged reppeded performance but making us think its specially for us.
I like things without crowd interaction, like musicals/plays, because there is no dystopian parasocial aspect to it. I am only there because the live is different than the recording.
I honestly find the lack of compiler/interpreter complexity disheartening.
It often feels like as a community we don't have an interest in making better tools than those we started with.
Communicating with the compiler, and generating code with code, and getting information back from the compiler should all be standard things. In general they shouldn't be used, but if we also had better general access to profiling across our services, we could then have specialists within our teams break out the special tools and improve critical sections.
I understand that many of us work on projects with already absurd build times, but I feel that is a side effect of refusal to improve ci/cd/build tools in a similar way.
If you have ever worked on a modern TypeScript framework app, you'll understand what I mean. You can create decorators and macros talking to the TypeScript compiler and asking it to generate some extra JS or modify what it generates. And the whole framework sits there running partial re-builds and refreshing your browser for you.
It makes things like golang feel like they were made in the 80s.
Freaking golang... I get it, macros and decorators and generics are over-used. But I am making a library to standardize something across all 2,100 developers within my company... I need some meta-programming tools please.
