Lyft laid off 20% of real work force, Uber considering same. Wonder how many are software engineers. Curious to see what this does on the potential job market for software engineers. Anyone in hiring positions gotten more applications from engineers who seem to have been laid off elsewhere due to Corona? Maybe that won't come for a few more months.

Oh, you use blue switches. The lack of cleaning in your household make so much more sense now.

Is that via software or do your monitors have input jacks and they automatically switch based on what keyboard you hit a key on?

I've been meaning to look into a software "KVM" option but have just been too lazy.

Seems to be an inherent feature of the monitors. If my PC is off like it is when I am working it defaults to whatever input is active. Which is the work PC. I've never ran both at once. If I decide to dick off during the workday I just fire up the PS4 and switch input on my second monitor.

It is pretty much the best thing.

If I didn't have my work PC I'd still use it with a second computer, so I could run my side shit on a second computer instead of taking up CPU and GPU from my games.

Started using mouse without borders. Now I need to re-wire everything to remove my KVM because I'm in the habit of using it to switch back and forth which fucks up Mouse Without Borders.

It's pretty nice. Some minor weird things but so far so good. It's actually incredible how nice it just works

The weirdest thing is how much I was accidentally hitting Control-R which is the default reconnect macro so I had to disable that.

Oh, I'll definitely have to remap that if possible then, I bind CTRL+R in a lot of video games, and don't want MWB running while playing said video games.

Any rkt users here? Been using docker and more recently utilizing kubernetes. Curious if anyone has had any preference for mixin rkt with kubernetes.

Does webstorm have somethinig like Remote SSH? That extension has been great, especially since working from home over a VPN. Building a sandbox(10M+ LoC) locally takes days due to cache hits.

I use VSCode mostly these days. Most other devs I know absolutely swear by IntelliJ.
