Oh, hides as in 'secretly places them' rather than 'removes'.

And there generally is, most libraries have a catalogue or at least a directory explaining the numbering system at a topic level. Thing is, this sign doesn't just help people come to the library wanting help with these things. It helps people in the library who are experiencing this and didn't know they could find a book to help them.

Hell some people don't even know they need help with these things until someone offers.

Honestly if you can already touchtype an ortho isn't going to be that big a learning curve. At least for me (going to an ortho with strong stagger), it finally meant that the keys felt like they were in the right place. I don't think the benefits of other layouts are quite as big if the keyboard actually fits your bone structure.

If you are going to a cut size layout, it's better to add in features incrementally onto something you already know rather than having to learn colemak and layers and thumb clusters.

If you have the time of course to re-learn how to type sure, do it all at once, but any time you spend on another layout (like, say, in the office) is going to make the transition harder. And as I said, layouts designed to make typing on a normal keyboard better make less sense on an ergo.

Should Vale release a general Steam OS and folk move away from Windows en masse it's probably going to be worth it. Proton does a great job but a tested and supported Linux build will be better. Some solos do it, but I think it is more based in ideology rather than necessity.

Your time and effort as a solo is going to be limited though, testing and supporting a Linux build is going to be work, and if you want to keep things closed source you are not going to be able to leverage the community in the way open software does.

There might be steps you can take to be more compatible with Proton and/or Steam Deck, which probably would be a good idea, and give you much more effect for your time spend.

Time pressure doesn't mean a scam, but remember the job application process is a chance for you to assess them as well. Some people think everything is a time critical emergency and they really aren't worth working for.

If you are talking to them directly and they divert you to some application portal. I don't know, doesn't seem like it's that much of a problem. If they need you now, but can't cut through the red tape of a company you own?

I know this is the common advice but I started with Consider Phlebas and it is far from unapproachable. There are some benefits of the PoV character being outside The Culture I think. As much as I liked The Player of Games, I much preferred the second half of the book.

Or the beginning I suppose. Could be someone gaining their power.

They are just program names. Some of them make clear sense, some less so.

yay is Yet Another Yogurt. Which is a pun on yaourt, the program it was based on.

Even then it's not for certain. If their politics is grounded in hatred rather than self-interest they have no reason to stop as long as the outgroups can be punished as well.

You can move self-interest to mutualism more easily than you can move hate to compassion.

This is what guys do instead of friendship. You can bet if cook isn't there one week BF is going to go do a wellness check.
