From what I've read this one is amazing. Not sure I want to drop that much cash on a keyboard yet though. Plus I've seen some reviews about it being a fixed layout as a downside (and some reviews where that is an upside).
It's a tool you'll use 8 hours a day for years and it will reduce the strain and potential for injury you risk by doing so. The cost is irrelevant in the long run. It's a high quality keyboard with mechanical switches that will last until you're tired of using it for some reason.
I've got a version 1 I've been using for many years that now lives at the office and a version 2 at home.
The moonlander looks awesome. The ergodox-ez looks nice as well. I wish there were some cheaper options out there for people who don't know how to solder.
Most of the good ergonomic keyboards are around the same price. Look at this one which it is good, but I personally didn't like: https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage2/
Basically what put me off was the way the keys are arranged in a semi circle. It was uncomfortable to code. I am not sure if it is because I have big hands or just the design didn't work for me.
Yeah I didn't particularly like that about Signal. If a malignant person were trying to keep tabs on a person (victim) using Signal, they would be able to see that the victim has switched to encrypted messaging (letting the malignant person know the victim is at least partially onto them). Thinking about the use case of a person trying to avoid a hacker/stalker here for example.
What will you blog about? Make sure the audience is big enough that you can make money from it. Too big though and you might get lost in a sea of voices. Quality content and marketing is key. It’s been awhile since I blogged though so someone else might have better advice regarding marketing / social media platforms / SEO rankings.
I think in the end the author's only complaint was that it was difficult to figure out what bitrate the Chromecast was streaming at, is a pretty minor problem. It reads like a complaint post, but that seems to just be the author's writing style.
You're technially right but conceptually he did show that the bitrate isn't in the normal 4k ballpark.
There's likely little or no benefit on using a 4k resolution at this bitrate.
In his experiment the Chroomecast on wifi gets a ~6 Mbps stream for 4k, which is about 20% of an average quality Handbrake encoded 4k stream. The surprise was that in his experiment Apple TV got so much higher bitrate. Market segmentation?
Just like anything else, diversify to reduce variance. But global catastrophes are hard to 1) see in advance and 2) do anything about because you're still buy trying to live your normal life without day to day concerns about solvency.
I was hoping to sell the local government on it being a green building somehow, or something else that might motivate them to help with the building codes. Perhaps reaching out to universities within the region.
I think I’d like to try the tabletop model idea. I plan on having it be a second home / AirBnB spot.
You’ll want to still take his shed building advice. Building a tabletop model will not give you the carpentry experience needed to build a cabin. At all.
You can also volunteer for your local variant of Habitats for Humanity but it’s inefficient and it’s more herding cats than carpentry. Still you might make some connections and someone may allow you to ride under their wing.
Is it really that difficult? I’m imagine there are things I am missing, but isn’t it pretty much: build foundation, build floor, build frame, build out roof, build walls, etc.?
As long as I research, do proper leveling, cutting, etc. and follow along with other builds’ process, I am thinking I will be fine. Would be great to hear where I might be wrong though so I don’t sink money into a failed build.
Yes, unless you have prior experiences, it is that hard. I agree with the others here who recommend you build an on-site tool/storage shed as practice. And no, it's not just about building foundations, floors, walls etc. You will need to consider how to rough-in for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc. as part of the build. Your wall-framing techniques have to take into consideration things like openings for doors, windows, and even how you will hang sheetrock.
Your biggest hurdle is probably going to be the permitting/inspection processes, assuming you want a legally habitual dwelling.
Agreed there, I know not to mess with plumbing, electric, and/or heating myself. Was debating going with spray on insulation done professionally, although I understand costs will rise the more I hire contractors.
