Ideally, you want your hands to hover while typing, not resting on your wrists.

I had surgery done in one hand a year ago. It has restored my ability to do most things (like cycling or using a gamepad), but regular keyboard and mouse use is still a problem.

For me, the biggest impact has been switching to a vertical mouse. That, along with a tented split keyboard allows me to work most days without aggravating my CTS.


It’s the source material, not the codec. Some albums sound vastly better on say Apple Music, regardless of lossless or lossy encoding. It’s almost like Spotify have older, inferior masters that they’ve never updated.

You’re right that it’s not the technology. I’ve released a few albums, and they sound virtually indistinguishable across various services since they’re from the same master files.


> Modern bikes are getting lighter and lighter.

The trend over the last few years have been disk brakes, aerodynamic features and wider tires, all of which come with a weight penalty. Some brands are now starting to converge their aero and lightweight offerings, though.


I suspect the parent is referring to elevation, not distance. 1km in distance would only take a few minutes.


Cycling is very low impact, as long as your bike fits and you’re not grinding away in a heavy gear.


I play guitar in a post-rock band called Caves of Steel. Our third album "Path to Ground" was slated for release around this time last year, but the global pandemic kind of took the wind out of those sails for a little while. I miss playing shows.

Anyway, here are some links. I'd wager it works well as coding music.

I have just listened to your album on YouTube and have to say: Excellent music, I love it!


Thank you!


This is why I’ve come around on the 80 character rule after switching to Emacs, fitting four buffers side by side on my 27” monitor just works.

120 characters/3 columns is great for more verbose languages, but I find it a bit too wide for a vertical split on a 15” laptop monitor.


It’s just files inside a magic folder. Edits are stored in sidecar files. So even if the database is corrupted, you can still recover.

You don’t need to have your photos inside the catalog either, they can be referenced externally.

If you like to maintain your own structure, you might like the Sessions feature. It’s an folder-based alternative to the monolithic catalog.


Yeah, I use sessions, which basically means there’s no catalog. I just keep the files where I like and open those folders with Capture One when editing.

I also like the EIP package format. You can package an image into a zip of the original image and all Capture One data. Then it’s just one file for your archives but everything you need is there for the future. Even if you can’t open the Capture One bits at some point, the original is still in there.


For .no, I reckon it's a combination of small population and the fact that you need to be a citizen to buy one. Until recently, they were only available to organizations. There's also restrictions on the number of registered domains you can have (100 for organizations, 5 for individuals), that limits squatting somewhat.


> the fact that you need to be a citizen to buy one

Small nitpick, but you need to be a Norwegian resident with an ID number (fødselsnummer) and a postal address in Norway, not necessarily a citizen.


You made me wonder -- what happened to ulv.no and sau.no?


Probably too politically divisive.

Nothing gets Norwegians arguing more than wolf politics.


We should control greenhouse emissions by releasing more wolves into shopping malls.


People unable to use public transit are eligible for subsidized taxi rides.
