DONT THREAD ON ME: Oct 1, 2002; by Nyc_Tattoo; Floss Finder

i dont care about the f-keys because they're too hard to press anyhow so i dont use them and remap them to things that are easier to press. getting rid of the f-keys honestly makes sense to me, they're a relic and anything that relies on an f key should come up with a better keybinding.

i would like a keyboard that isn't garbage and a price point that isn't garbage.

honestly if apple doesn't release a decent laptop soon i'll be strongly considering moving to linux as my daily driver.

windows runs on non-apple hardware too so you don't need to switch to a Linux.

nah that's a legit issue with '16-'17 keyboards that the keys get stuck inside when butterfly mechanism ingests anything. that's why there are silicone membranes enveloping '18 keys

ive been playing games on my linux laptop while recovering from surgery and im surprised at how about 30% of my steam library works

the 2016/2017 MBP keyboards suck, im not sure how some people havent realized that yet. they are objectively bad.

thin laptops are not nice when you start to sacrifice things like modular components and, you know, screws

it would be perfectly fine if they made a 13 and 15" version of the macbook for idiot executives but kept the older unibody design for people who want large batteries and actual functioning keyboard and cooling solutions

mac users don't need or want functionality so its ok if the keyboard doesn't work or it overheats constantly because they aren't actually going to use it.

2016 15" MBP is Extremely Good but I'm sure a 2010 is fine too. This thing will probably last me 7 years if the batteries hold out well enough

I finally figured out a workaround for an issue I've been having with my USB Blaster programmer on Arch linux.

Quartus comes with a jtagd server that communicates to the USB device and over IP to a client, usually something running in Quartus. In Arch, after many hours of loving around and googling, I figured out that it would only work when jtagd is run with an undocumented '--foreground' option. I only found this option because it was mentioned on some guy's plaintext blog that I found after running an strace on jtagd and searching on some of the USB ioctl names + altera jtagd.

Luckily Quartus launches the jtagd binary through a script, so my workaround was to change the final line of the launch script from basically

${jtagdcmd}
to
${jtagdcmd} --foreground &

Oh yeah and the other half of this is that it actually worked fine out of the box on a Fedora VM.

nice dumb rear end code that cant be used to kill grep, and will almost certainly kill the wrong thing if you use it to try to kill `sl`
