I love the satisfaction of using a mechanical keyboard. The clicking sensation felt as each key has it's own distinct sound while LOC run down my screen. Though I know for a fact that my co-workers do not feel the same way as I do.
Many years ago a classic Model M [1] landed on my desk and was great for a few weeks until I found it broken and used as a doorstop. Hmm.. No-one saw anything.
Spent the next few years on whatever run-of-the-mill logitech/microsoft keyboard came by way. Then I discovered Das Keyboard [2] which was great! It was fully worn in after many heavy metal code sessions (headphones on, mid-day in a room full of colleagues). Maybe I'm a bit overly aggressive with my typing, as soon after I had reluctantly switched to using Das Keyboard "Silent" Model. Another great keyboard, but still not soo silent.
To tell the same story twice - it just didn't work out. My daily typer at the office is now the Matias Quiet Pro [3]. It gets the job done at a reasonable decibel level - or so I think. Moral of the story (if there were any) - respect those who work around you. Any keyboard will do the trick. I should also be more gentle with this thing.
> in the last week, more than 60% of WordPress’ traffic and more than 80% of Humble Bundle’s traffic on reCAPTCHA encountered the No CAPTCHA experience—users got to these sites faster.
Does this mean WordPress saw an 60% decrease in traffic from bots?
This was an issue for me this morning when my recently installed copy of UltraMon had expired.
Instead of purchasing a license (which I would be happy to do, but cannot on this workstation as it belongs to the company and was denied), I was introduced to an open-source alternative here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dualmonitortb/
Not as feature-complete as UltraMon - though provides me with a working taskbar on my second monitor.
Anyone on HN know of more software to extend the taskbar? Open-source, free or commercial.
I have yet to experiment with this feature - seen it used on a few different websites. I am curious on how to handle prerender requests vs an actual visit. Is there a way to distinguish between the two?
