It was worth it for the ergonomics.

Although my Moonlander is now my office keyboard and the Voyager is my home + travel keyboard. Airport security wants to confiscate the ML's Allan key (it's seen as a tool) and the Platform + ML is as heavy and bulky as a laptop making it impractical for travel.

this design covers the corners on the older frame, probably won't work on newer frames
www.thingiverse.com/thing:3930111

if you search for "Baby Proof Corners and Edges for Furniture", you'll find a lot of pre-made products.
This HAPPY CHLEA one might actually work the Brimnes frame.

Covering the edges would work if things would actually stick to it and stay stuck.
I've considered using a grinder to grind corners+edges down, but it's not solid wood.
3D-printing edge+corner covers is probably the next attempt.

This person got a fracture from what I assume is the same frame.

Quite surprised to see a vibration API in the Browser Navigation specification ... but I guess, where else would you put it.

navigator.vibrate([
100, 30, 100, 30, 100, 30, 200, 30, 200, 30, 200, 30, 100, 30, 100, 30, 100,
]); // Vibrate 'SOS' in Morse.

how about TupleN being defined as Tuple(N - 1)
so much excitement over Nothing

a new Linkin Park album was released end of last year, From Zero, with Emily Armstrong as the new lead singer.
Amazing voice!!

Kotlin-ing and catching up with new music ...

On the right, the colour difference is clear. On the left, the difference is subtle, top and bottom one just has some lighter pigment which would only be visible if both were taken under the exact same lighting conditions. Middle one has slightly more red pigment.

I did an image diff to confirm.

Chrome-based browsers seems to be laggy as of lately, even scrolling feels like I'm on a 486.

This setting seems to make a difference

should people who write programming languages care about preventing SQL injection so that I can write drivers that prevent SQL injection?

A new type of solid-state fan that moves air by ioniziing it (and then converting the generated ozone back to clean air through a catalyst)

searching for the next best thing in tech VS being at peace and building with what you have available.

Pick a Rust meme that also apply to Kotlin

So many String types in Rust

It will return a 200 OK for good posture

Sometimes fresh air is all you need to figure out how to fix some obscure bug.

Same for autoshift, I removed it once I realized how much slower it made me type.

I shifted the whole layout up a row, sacrificing the number row, and now if I want numbers or brackets or special characters, I use the layer 3/4 thumb keys

I think I was at 30wpm prior to getting the moonlander, I'm now around 60-100 with the occasional burst into 130+

Stopped doing TypeRacer when I started hitting high 70s and eventually an 80wpm race. Took 10min a day of practicing daily, maybe I spent a bit more time in Epistory some days.
November 21, 2024 at 10:11 AM
Epistory will force you to type both accurately and fast.
