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.

Being upset when welfare recipients think they're better than those paying is deeply ingrained into the party.

Of course I am. A military alliance is contingent on the other party remaining an ally. Even Democrats would expect NATO to be dissolved if by some shenanigans Putin was elected PM. That the US abuses it's position as the primary milit

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 others. It's adjustable but it means there's a de

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 the extra movement, which is almost exactly x3 on most

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 looks like their alphabet doesn't include me

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 'however' here is coding. I also have a one

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 eight traditional keys because it could be hand wired.

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 layer, a layer that houses the microcontroller, and a layer for

Must be something in the air. I just started working on a DC VMU project this weekend (warning 8-bit mature): https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kittyhawkmontrose/boobca... The DC's VMU is a fascinating

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 them--speaking of good faith--at their word for the

Correct (and bonus points for mentioning Raymond, we should hang out). But, and maybe I'm misunderstanding but aren't you just emphasising my point? As you show, Rowling is in many way a good 70's feminist but according to

I wouldn't dispute that the field of women's studies has positively impacted society. So have the sciences. Assuming their impact was similarly positive, we're back to the question of where are you now if your major investmen

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 knowledge. Thus almost all effort learning th

Extending this idea beyond technical topics is why I stopped bothering to put effort into most humanities or liberal arts and advise those younger than me to do the same. Most new work in the sciences is driven by an obvious gap in current

I love Parenscript specifically, and in general I love--as the Hylang project puts it--"Lisp lipstick on [language]" projects. I understand the sentiments that Parenscript isn't really Lisp and that "you could just use

I just wanted to say thank you for your and your colleagues work. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Parenscript saved me from burn out and let me rediscover why I became a techie to begin with.

This site most definitely delivers on the "fundamentals" it promises. Regardless of if you're planning on using a higher level engine like Unity or even something super simple like LÖVE, I would highly recommend at least skim

I'll let my comment stand so as to not try to pretend I didn't say something I did, but perhaps virginity was an overly charged proxy for life fitness. My apologies. Just as weirdly favouring conservative types and less charged: l

People try to dismiss the complaints of the old guard as them being left behind, but that is clearly not the case. As you say, there have been a number of "flips" that are clearly not "progressions". Expanding civil righ

Speaking of things that I learned in a frat-like environment: there's a kind of accepted tyranny to actually doing a thing. If you plan a party, it more or less goes the way you want. If you run Twitter, same thing. We're in some

An anecdote that will probably sway no one: was in a family friendly barcade and noticed-- inexplicably--a gaggle of kids, all 8-14, gathered around the Pong. Sauntering up so I could overhear their conversation, it was all excited variants
