If you have been using an ergonomic mechanical keyboard for more than year, let us know which keyboard it is, and whether you plan to keep to keep using it for at least another year or if there's another keyboard you are considering trying instead.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

To open a file relative to the current one in Helix, you can to the do the following with 24.3:

:o <C-r>%<C-w>

Here, the Control-R allows you to select a register and the special register "%" contains the current file path and inserts into the command line, while the final Control-w chops off the last part of the file name leaving with you current directory.

This is like :o %:h from Vim/Neovim

I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.

In well-functioning teams, devs aren’t publicly shamed. We learn and move on.

The peer reviewer, who is often more senior, missed the issue too.

And if there was no peer review, then that’s a process issue, not a personal issue.

“14,250 residents…300,000 condoms”.

So, 20 per resident.

Trivia: defenestration originally referred to throwing people out of windows, not things.

And then I moved colon and semicolon to layers and re-assigned that outer pinky key to my rarely used AltGr key.

It’s a useful feature, but I couldn’t have guessed your explanation from the name.

It seems to me that the default extract option should work that way and this option should just be removed from the menu.

I have never once wanted extracting an archive file to litter the current directory with files.

The only exception would be an archive which contains a single inner file.

Originally, ChromeOS was the Chrome browser with just enough code to boot to and take care of other essential OS functions. Like, the system settings and browser settings were practically merged.

The author is alluding to more recent efforts to untangle and separate ChromeOS from the Chrome browser. I believe the goal is for the Chrome browser on ChromeOS to be essentially the same as other Linux browser builds.

So these days ChromeOS is structured more like other Linux distros, with a huge difference being how locked down it is.

I’ve been at this for 25 years and a restriction on variable name length hasn’t been a problem since then.

A good senior dev shouldn’t just be older, they should have continued to learn and evolve.

I do remember texting abbreviations because we texted on a number pad with no autocomplete.

Everyone I know was happy to switch to better keyboards and autocomplete as soon as they were available.

Na, it’s just that a memorial post is a time to pause the editor wars, if only for a moment, and pay respect.
