This feels like a betrayal of their ousting of Eich in the first place. I can't imagine a world I would do this and be able to look at myself in the mirror.

Thanks for the details! The insertion of backspaces is interesting. One of the drawbacks of--say--Ardux is that some layers are accessed by holding down one key and then pressing o…

Yeah, I was introduced to the Twiddler in the context of robot interfaces and while I can't find the study now, there were a couple showing that eventually the slowdown is down to …

Looking at the software, it looks at least as powerful as the Twitter: in-device keybindings, holds, macros, etc. This is super interesting.

Wow. Unless I'm thinking of a different device, those were much more expensive the last time I took a look. That's super tempting. Just giving a preliminary skim of the website, it…

I won't lie, straight-up prose is much slower. I can just about break 120 wpm with a full QWERTY whereas I can only do roughly 40-45 single-handed. Typing passwords sucks. The big …

One-handed daily drivers are out there. We're nuts, but at least it's not Dvorak (kidding). TBH, the the Twiddler layout is probably superior (though not by much). I went with eigh…

Super cool project. The siren song of binary input is strong: https://youtu.be/hansx2Bzxa0

I second this as a great way to get started. If you look on Amazon there are a bunch of cheap eight key macros (Lichifit makes one) that are built via layers of acrylic: a base lay…

You're absolutely right about this exception. I would even say it "proves the rule" as the technical act of playing an instrument is so transparently unchanging.

Again, not the same kind of wrong, and also not the 70's, but it is also looking like OOP is losing some luster.

Personally I agree with you that women's studies or psychology aren't sciences or even coherent subjects, but in the majority they themselves present as such and thus here I take t…

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I'm saying it's definitely moved. It's just moved in such a way that almost all of the new knowledge replaces rather than extends or builds on the old knowl…
