If I sign up for a service but don't explicitly opt in to getting their newsletter, any marketing emails I get are spam, and flagged accordingly. The whole idea that I've implicitly opted in without being asked is nonsense.


That's something to take up with your representative, because that's legal unfortunately (specifically: marketing similar products based on past purchases, and in my experience, the consumer market authority takes that definition rather broadly).

There's a second category of unwanted email where unsubscribing has as only effect that you'll get more spam because now they know that your email address is actively being read. The sender is a hacked server or a botnet, and no business is identifiable as sender. This type of illegal activity is what spam filters are designed to combat. You're not helping the designers by marking other email as spam: it muddles the data, causes legit senders trouble (like me, I don't have a newsletter but spam filters are so aggressive that personal messages sent from my server still regularly ends up in spam), and makes everyone's life harder.

Or you culd report it as spam in your email client. Because legal or not, it's still spam.


I'd love someone to do a split ortholinear keyboard on a laptop. That'd probably push it to instant buy for me almost regardless of the rest of the specs etc.


Split ortholinear is possible. We didn't show this, but it is technically possible to build an Input Module for the Framework Laptop 16 that is full width, giving a lot of horizontal real estate for a split layout.


Please do an ortho or split ortho layout. I get that it'd be low volume but I'd be willing to pay a premium if it meant being able to keep my Helidox Corne at home while I travel or go into the office, without sacrificing ergonomics.

Looking forward to purchasing the 16 regardless though. Keep up the amazing work / mission with Framework. Fantastic work to the team.


As a dev with hands that won't let me use a standard laptop keyboard for more than a few minutes without being in pain, this is so needed. It would be so good to be mobile again.


Have you had much experience with mechanical keyboards? I do much better with just unicomp m-style buckling spring or cherry mx brown (real cherry, not the fake that some use).


I'm curious what you found that helped alleviate your pain? For me it was the kinesis advantage.


+1 to the sibling comments for a split keyboard option.

(Preferably a proper version with thumb clusters.)

At least for me, that would make this laptop a must-buy.


We've had some success with recording meetings and using automated transcriptions, though we don't have any fresh out of college juniors now.


My current place does that, but we still don't really hire juniors so who knows if it works.


We use 1Password, which supports one time password generation, and you can use shared vaults to share credentials.


Ooh you are going to be so mad when you find out people use to talk about so something other than the purple vegetable...


A fair number of the hashicorp tools use ember already, including Nomad, Vault and Boundary. I think Boundary is newer, so they're likely still using it for new projects, though both Consul and Waypoint aren't using it based on the repos.


We use Nomad at $JOB and it's been great. We're a small startup with one senior site reliability engineer doing pretty much all the infra work and I (~CTO) chip in when I can be useful, though when we adopted Nomad it was just me working on infra.

I looked into Kubernetes (I haven't worked with it at all before) and there just seemed so much complexity to handle things I didn't need that it was too much to learn for the benefit. Once I found Nomad it was a lot simpler, but it has everything we need and that's stayed true as we've grown.

I'd definitely strongly recommend it if you're wanting an orchestration system and don't need the complexity Kubernetes brings.


> for engineers focus on quality, timeliness and skill.

So put that in the resume. Say how you delivered it better, faster or cheaper than the next candidate in the pile would have.


This is also garbage.

Does your company put you head to head with another developer to see who can develop the same feature the fastest?

Or maybe you secretly keep tabs on all of your teammates and their delivery speed, so that you can calculate how much faster than your teammates you are at delivering and how many fewer bugs you ship?


A bank I used until about 2018 (no idea if they've fixed this yet - I left) had an exactly 6 character password, and when you used telephone banking it just needed the 6 digits that corresponded to that word. Those 6 numbers also worked online, so at best they were turning all passwords into numbers before hashing them, ensuring there are less than 900000 different possible passwords, which was trivially easy to brute force in 2015, nevermind today.


Bruteforcing should not work as the attempts are either throttled, or lock the account. Provided that they are in place, otherwise the account is wide open.

This i what happens with the 4 digits of a CC PIN and the 3 attempts before the card switches into PUK mode.


Woah! 74 kids. That's crazy!
