YSK about Hiring.cafe - a free job scraping site that lets you filter out Workday and other nuisance ATS - Leminal Space

https://hiring.cafe/ [https://hiring.cafe/] Key Points: - A bot regularly scrapes 4.1 million jobs directly from company websites and uses ChatGPT to summarize and categorize each job. - Doesn’t allow companies to post directly - Bans recruiting agencies and 3rd party consulting shops (especially the offshore ones) - There is a filter for “Easy or Lengthy apply” that lets you filter out applications links to sites like Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, and all the other shitty ones. Why I like it so far: - Your saved jobs are all on a single infinitely scrolling page (as opposed to LinkedIn that only shows you a few of your jobs per page - Boolean filters- easily customizable boolean filters - Saved searches and a daily digest of your saved searches to your inbox - No promoted jobs like LinkedIn, no recruiter is posting jobs here, no shitty companies like Agoda spamming the board with Bangkok jobs listed in the wrong city. Overall my job hunting process is much more streamlined. I created a few saved searches based on boolean filters and filtering out lengthy applications like Workday, then saved a bunch of jobs and hid the ones I don’t like. The time savings is substantial and really fast and easy because of how streamlined the site is and also because of the lack of recruiter posted spam jobs and irrelevant ‘promoted’ jobs. I was able to search for and apply for around 25 jobs in the time it takes me to find and apply for 10 on LinkedIn.

USB-C Swivel Cord - Fragile and breaks easily

USB-C Swivel Cord - Fragile and breaks easily - Leminal Space

This is a newer product on the market, its a great idea, where the USB-C plug can swivel. I assume their goal was to make it easier to charge your device while also using it, and to make the cable last longer. The swivel part is great when it works but it’s super fragile and broke for me in two weeks.

Time, Place, and Values: Adaptation as Process and Culture

Time, Place, and Values: Adaptation as Process and Culture - Leminal Space

Climate change is commonly treated as a single, global problem that needs to be “solved.” This mindset may have been appropriate in the past, but at 1.5°C above the preindustrial average, it’s clear that we are not going to solve climate change. Everyone is going to live in a changed and changing climate for centuries to come. In this powerful keynote session, Spencer Glendon, founder of Probable Futures, will show how essential it is to make adaptation a priority and how doing so can lead to stronger institutions, healthier communities, better food, and even more effective decarbonization. Whether you are interested in housing, transportation, water, insurance, community organizing, fruit, or any other aspect of society, this session will give you frameworks, tools, and examples to help you see the world around you more clearly and make better decisions.

My mechanical keyboard with split spacebar (System76 Launch)

My mechanical keyboard with split spacebar (System76 Launch) - Leminal Space

TLDR: - Keyboard: System 76 Launch - Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad - Keycaps: XDA profile - Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB - Wristpad: Keychron Wooden Palm Rest (Wooden / K3 / K3 Pro / K7 / K7 Pro / S1 PR4) [https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/8c98284b-316d-4402-ab91-21120c6d710e.jpeg] [https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/d68cdc69-2b7a-4f4c-9cbd-f81bd6ffca6e.jpeg] [https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/1ad3e3d2-41e2-428c-8691-4bedf6918961.png] www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/ [http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/] for the last picture with the key layout Details and Flavor: This is my first hot swappable mechanical keyboard after having a few Durgod keyboards (switches are soldered to the board). After the INCIDENT- I spilled a whole jack and coke on my Durgod - the entire thing was unsalvageable because only thing I could do was remove the keycaps, I couldn’t remove the soldered switches or take it apart further. So the whole thing was a sticky mess even after drying it out, and the spacebar and CTRL were never the same. I probably could have dunked the whole thing in rubbing alcohol or something, but I just recycled it. So that led me down the path towards customizable mechanical keyboards with hot swappable switches. Keyboard: System 76 Launch 84 Key variant of the 75% layout, with a split spacebar and extra key for super/function bottom left Super fucking useful why aren’t all keyboards made like this I’m never going back to a keyboard with a full spacebar. Keypad: Keychron Q0 Plus QMK Custom Number Pad Has survived one accidental drink spillage, luckily it was just water (a whole pint) and I got it unplugged immediately and taken apart to dry. No shorts and all switches and the board were fine after air drying. There was some green paper taped to the bottom of the PCB that did not survive though. I bent a few pins when I manhandled the swtiches back in place, but nothing some tweezers and reinstallation couldn’t fix. Keycaps XDA profile: I like the profile but these seem to be rarer and its difficult to find any see-through variants with the numbers/letters clear (to let the RBG shine through so I can PWN more in FPSs) Also having keys with a standardized profile, same shape keys regardless of the row, was important because of the oddball layout and key sizes for the system76 keyboards. XDA Tricolor Keycaps [https://www.amazon.com/JSJT-keycaps-Tricolor-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B09X1CVG3S/] Handmade Abalone Mother of Pearl Keycaps. These are abalone round beads (meant for a necklace or bracelet) glued to 3D printed keycap mounts. Purchased for around $3 each from my local keyboard shop. They have some cool custom keycaps here: https://shop.yushakobo.jp/collections/artisan-keycaps?page=1 [https://shop.yushakobo.jp/collections/artisan-keycaps?page=1] And even more in the store that never get put online. If you are ever in Akihabara Tokyo they are definitely worth a visit. Big disclaimer though: “Every product from this store is hella overpriced.” https://maps.app.goo.gl/s4pksssA9sGrz75Z6 [https://maps.app.goo.gl/s4pksssA9sGrz75Z6] So look at the pretty things, but maybe check online or somewhere else first before buying anything lol DIY if you wanna recreate the abalone keycaps: There’s a bunch of free models you can find online for the “keycap mounts” that might work. I haven’t gotten around to making my own, still need to figure out a program in linux I can edit 3D models and figure out how to use it. Super easy to get them 3D printed once you get/make the models. The beads you can find on sites like esty, “mother of pearl round beads” Switches: Cherry MX SPEED SILVER Switches RGB I found the Kalih Box switch options from system76 to be too scratchy and I didn’t like the Gatreon G Pro switches from Keychron either. I was used to the Cherry MX Speed Silver from my old Durgod keyboard. I prefer linear, super smooth feeling switches especially for gaming, so I went back to the MX speed silver. Layout: I used to prefer 96% or 100% (a lot of excel formulas) but the wide keyboard kept getting in the way of FPS gaming and I’d be constantly hitting my mouse against the keyboard, even with maxed out mouse DPI and minimal wrist movement, the keyboard was too wide. So for about 8 years or so I’ve been using a separate numpad. Festivus Airing of the Grievances: I had trouble customizing the keymapping on the Keychron keypad. I wish the keychron keyboard was more straightfoward to customize in linux, or at least compatible with system76’s keyboard configurator https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator [https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator] so I didn’t have to dig through 10 year old arch forums and reddit threads.

I’m most excited for the split spacebar and the customizable layout
