I want to have both options because traditional folders and a tag based file system solve different problems. Let's say I go on vacation with my dog and make pictures. After I am home again I want to sort the pictures but then I have a

I am looking for a DIY kit for a split ergonomic keyboard _with_ an attached num block. Does anyone know if such a kit exists? There are a few kits for split ergonomic layouts but none of them seem to include the num block.

90% of my dislike for C comes from a) that it is too tedious to work with strings and b) the non-existing standardized module/build system. The C language itself is _beautiful_ but I am missing a beautiful standard library! Things whic
