They appear to be bringing it back based on a recent video from their Creator Insider channel

Look into a Squatty Potty. An extension that is basically a stool to help you raise your feet and knees into a more squatted position to help defecate into the toilet. Or just bring a wide stool to the toilet with you that raises the same.


That new logo looks like fingertips.

Does this mean they've also done away with all caps on JIRA? Or was that changed a while ago?


Yes, all product names are now consistently cased as part of this rebrand. Jira, Statuspage, Fisheye, Hipchat and Sourcetree (the latter 3 all being CamelCased before)


Noticed a local coworking space added a coffee bar and small brewery as well as a open mic platform area. From that it appears as though it's heading the reverse of where cafes ended up being co-working spaces from those sipping a latte for six hours.

Coworking spaces don't feel comfortable enough to even work at in the first place. It's as noisy as a coffee shop, but at least you have a desk you might not get the next day.


Speaking of, The Changelog #206 https://changelog.com/206/ just put out one with a blind programmer as well, "This week on the show we talk with Parham Doustdar, a blind programmer. We talked about the advantages of being a blind programmer, the tools he uses, quitting school, carving your own path, and more."


The polish, the forums at least, are probably due to using what looks like Discourse to power the discussions.

No.

I can't stand the flashy javascripty nature of the site, as it struggles to poorly reimplement the web forums of 5+ years ago.


Maybe they're fine using a sticker, a sticky note (or Post-its), or even just with unplugging it if they're using an external webcam.


Using a sticker sounds like a great idea - it would be vastly thinner than any 3d-printed clip, and cheaper too. You might even be able to muffle the mic with one (but I haven't tested that).

You could probably even market stickers like that specifically for the purpose of covering cameras. Designed to not leave adhesive behind when removed (like the adhesive on post-its), and perhaps even given a shiny black finish that matches common laptop screen frames.

Personally, I've never seen a need for covering my webcam through some combination of just not caring if some remote entity is watching me type, and assuming that the risk of my webcam being activated without the little light going on is pretty low.

But, if I was offered a cheap well-designed sticker made for the purpose of covering my webcam I'd probably buy a pack.


This is actually something I might consider.

Better: labeling to state that the device is explicitly equipped against unwarranted surveillance. The message of avoiding surveillance might be more useful than the act of frustrating it.


Oh, nice! I was thinking of something that would blend into the frame of the laptop, making itself unnoticable (unlike a post-it note - which would look rather ugly). But having that message would probably appeal even more because at that point it becomes a form of protest rather than just a quiet security measure.
