Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.
Programming is my job, so I don’t define that as a hobby 😅
I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.
And don’t be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.
Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.
It’s not. Like the commenter above said: It’s a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that’s basically it.
Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.
There’s some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.
When my then senior dev left and made his own company and asked me if I’m willing to go on a bumpy ride with him.
I’m currently Employee Number 3 (the other 2 before me beeing the owners) and am happier than in any other odd job I had.
The company we left doesn’t really look that good right now, but they are backed by a gigantic mother company.
I self host some stuff, because I dislike that I’m buying only the rights to consume certain kinds of e-media, instead of buying the e-media itself. So I make us of the consumer rights laws in europe and make a decrypted personal copy and stream it myself from my home server (an outdated laptop)
just to chime in on alternative keyboard layouts:
I’m german and can’t recommend the neo2 family of layouts enough.
I currently am using the “noted” layout and it feels absolutely amazing.
The different layer approach makes it easy to write all the symbols for programming I need, or if you are a writer, all the »correct« „quotation“ marks.
there’s even support for all the greek letters used in math equations: ℤℵ×∀ℂΣ∫∃∇ℕℝ∂ΛΦΨ
You can learn more about the layout here (site is in german):
