I've been looking into putting together a home office setup for remote development and stumbled upon this nice home automation project by David Zhang, where they use a Raspberry Pi with a customized num pad to control almost every day-to-day arrangement of their office, from desk hight, KVM input/output switching, lighting, all the way to tiling window management. Looks like they've also published the combination of Auto Hotkey, Home Assistant and ESPHome scripts in order to work, including links to dependencies:

Anyway, I'm looking forward to scripting a similar setup once I've gathered the general equipment, and figured other programmers might similarly appreciate the ergonomics in such an automated workflow.

P.S. Any suggestions for a developer picking items for a new remote office from scratch would also be appreciated. E.g. office equipment recommendations like desk, chair, screen mounts, AV accessories.

Just need to put a JIT compiled language logo inside the blue car and caption it as "Containerise once, ship anywhere".

Image Transcription: Meme


A photo of an opened semi-trailer unloading a cargo van, with the cargo van rear door open revealing an even smaller blue smart car inside, with each vehicle captioned as "macOS", "Linux VM" and "Docker" respectively in decreasing font size. Onlookers in the foreground of the photo gawk as a worker opens each vehicle door, revealing a scene like that of russian dolls.

Hello HN! OP, you've reached the front page of Hacker News:

[–] ruffsl@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Could you share the link to that one? Thanks. Looks like this TechCrunch article is sourcing info from emails with advertisers partnered with Reddit, not just from public statements about visitor traffic published by Reddit themselves.

I wonder what the measured metrics are internally. Funny that those earning metrics would've been more readily available had they already IPO'ed on the public market.

My captcha included an invalid chess move, so a had to regenerate a different captcha: Hunter 913 VII April Shell bdg84 about He 🌔 Venezuela

That looks neet. Although I suspect this would succumb to the same cross post discoverability issues where URLs pointing to the same video would not match string for string. A better approach might be to facilitate inline embedding of HTML video players into Lemmy using browser extensions, where user scripts could be used to preview youtube links or re-write them to nocookie, allowing the Lemmy web UI to still avoid the use of cross-origin scripts by default.

Found the full transcription for the video from OP author:

Note to self: use youtube.com instead of youtu.be
for better cross post detection and lemmy integration

For programming tutorials, yep, I also prefer reading documentation instead. Although, it looks like this tutorial these folks put out doesn't have much of anything you could copy from, like terminal commands, given its a recorded walkthrough in using the graphical web UI. YouTube also now allows for searching the auto or manual transcription text, which is handy when creators always forget to include timestamped chapters.

Out in the wild? Perhaps quite a few. For example, for teleoperated robotic thoracic surgeries, I imagine medical grade HID should mandate safety certified hardware that doesn't rely on electrically noisy mechanical potentiometers, subject to Dead zone drift, or non-deterministic dead man behavior under failure modes. Although I'm certain there's various reasons not to use hall effect sensing devices even within the same facility as MRI machines.

Textual transcription of meme: (two panels)
First panel: laughing group of people gathered around a phone, captioned:
"The Internet laughing at the Titan submersible using a Logitech controller"

Second panel: the Awkward Look Monkey Puppet meme, captioned:
"The robotics community"

I suspect this comment was posted to spell out the meme for those unfamiliar, but I wanted to thank you for transcribing it into text for those that also may be blind or visually impaired. With the loss of r/TranscribersOfReddit , I salute your contribution! Please keep at it!
