The keyboard issue was probably caused by the battery, which can be replaced, and the keyboard would have likely returned to normal after the battery replacement.

In fact, depending on the model, the battery replacement may well have also entailed replacing the whole top cover (including the keyboard).

Why'd the battery be related to the keyboard issue?

Agreed. We've almost eradicated our usage of JS Date - fixing plenty of bugs along the way, and then I extracted thousands of lines of conversions and formatting from our production app (scheduling focused) into a temporal-fun package to make it Temporal more ergonomic for lots of common cases.

That looks neat although your package is missing a link to the source repository.

If you don't have the original executable on hand:

localStorage.setItem('vcsky.haveOriginalGame', "true")

I haven't checked further than the third mission

What are you referring to? Denying the Holocaust? Making nazi salutes?

Calling someone an asshole, or calling them a racist if they seem to discriminate you based on your race, saying a restaurant isn't good etc. can very easily get you sued in Germany.

I'll get some downvotes for this but PhD vs master's degree difference is mostly work experience, an element of workload hazing and snobbery.

Somebody with a masters degree and 5 years of work experience will likely know more than a freshly graduated PhD

698969 · 9 months ago

I think the breadth vs depth thing applies here as well, the PhD will know more about the topic they're researching of course.

Do we get gut bacteria from the people around us? Where does a newborn get their gut bacteria from?

Heh, if so, I wonder if there is a correlation between social anxiety and babies who relied on formula instead of breastfeeding.

Local grocery prices. Let me upload a shopping list and allow me to optimize for cost (visit this store for these items, this store for these items) and a trail to follow through the store for optimal pathing.

Same thing for home improvement - Lowe’s in stock indicator is wildly wrong to the point that I sometimes call and ask an employee to go physically look at the item.

For groceries at least, the time cost + fuel cost of buying from different stores would probably cancel out any minor variations in prices

Bold of OP to pretend he "found" a site for quirky t-shirts when his profile posted about launching a t-shirt store on HN on his latest comment

698969 · 10 months ago

Why the scare quotes?

I wrote about exactly that in the blog, I tried out some qwertee shirts first and then I made my own designs for fun. And I set up a shop if other people want them.

What are some examples? I'd love to check out your store but I'm worried by the time you launch this post and any communication with you will have vanished to the ether.

698969 · 10 months ago

Usually some commentary or puns on a random relatable life topic, I started with jokes about allergies.

I'll setup a redirect on https://shop.gtmnayan.com when it's ready, still have to figure out logistics.
