Did Dvorak die “a bitter man”?
- underseacables 5y agoAnyone else click on this thinking it was John C? Heart almost stopped there for a moment.
- rasz 5y agoC Dvorak is known for being a living embodiment of a bitter man.
- meepmorp 5y agoI was thinking of the composer.
- Wistar 5y agoMe, too. Specifically his Cypresses Echo of Songs pieces—declaring his unrequited love for a 16-year-old piano student of his—came to mind. He kept them a secret and they weren't published until well after his death.
- snshn 5y agoWeird how Colemak is still less popular than Dvorak in our industry.
- Alex3917 5y agoIf you work in the industry, the only thing you should care about is minimizing your risk of RSI. I've never used Colemak, but given that it doesn't have the same emphasis on alternating between hands, it would seem like it would be less good for this, no?
- cjohansson 5y agoDvorak is apparently better but lack of time and lack of keyboard customizability has stopped me from trying it out. I think that effort is the reason why it hasn't succeeded and never will
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoI switched to Dvorak in early 2007. Happy with it, so far. Took me about 2-3 weeks to surpass my Qwerty typing speed. I also retained my Qwerty typing skills. Was it worth it? Hell yes! Caveats: - hotkeys are a mess, especially on Windows (though last time I had windows on my personal computer was also in 2007), things might have changed. - they are an even bigger mess if you use second language layout. On windows in Dvorak layout hotkeys were at new key positions (not very comfortable but expectable), but in Russian Cyrillic (ЙЦУКЕН) layout they are where the keys were in qwerty!!! - Dvorak has no sense on smartphones - People who occasionally have to do something on your computer hate you.
