Someone would have done it soon anyway... https://github.com/dickiedyce/mrso The naming is from Mrs Overall, and her inability to keep from slopping tea out of of a cup.

Daily driver is a Svalboard. Before that, there was a Rolio, Corne-ish Zen, Moonlander, Ergodox EZ. All were great. I tried to make the MoErgo Glove 80 and a Characorder Master Forge work, but without sufficient success. For 'thinking

I thought the difference of two squares example was odd. Maybe I just didn’t get how to factorise into brackets rather than out of them.

Although, didn’t it appear in a popular culture reference? I seem to remember an episode of “elementary“ that mentioned it.

Small? Yes, but perfectly formed! (Only minor tweak one could suggest would be multiple table selection for dragging... but to quote Frasier: "Think about it, Niles. What's the one thing better than an exquisite meal? An exquisite

My dearest childhood friend is half Italian, allegedly. However, his woeful time-keeping is so poor that we began to suspect that he was indeed simply from another planet... with a longer day.

Hmmm... Agreed that they're mostly 2D sensors, but apart from near-field the post-processing brain can use depth-cues to for us 'see' in 3D. Also, you don't see in 3D unless your head/eyes/target is moving, rig

Some explanation of the design principles would be welcomed. The workman ( https://workmanlayout.org/#introduction ) website is really interesting in this regard, even if you disagree with the end product. [As an aside, the

I daren’t ask “What have Millennials ever done for us?” because I have a suspicion that it would be a surprisingly unfunny answer.

I'm glad it's not just me. One would hope that `BEFORE` and `AFTER` would imply `WORSE` and `BETTER`, but from their examples they somehow they managed to shoehorn `MEH` in there. And if they need to explain it... ;-) Tufte it isn

1 company? 2 buildings? Over < 5 years? Any evidence for "dampening short-run pay raises but boosting them in the long run" must be pretty sketchy.

Warmer = US centric? I always think that the proliferation of J.A.R.V.I.S.-type projects in the wild is down to the writing in Iron Man, and Paul Bettany's dry delivery. We want dryer, not warmer. More sarcasm, less smarm.

As a Scot who travels on Scottish, English, and Welsh railways, and on Swiss and German railways... Scotrail (now in Public ownership) is pretty good. And I say that as someone in the Highlands, which has had the worst of it in the last 30
