Like think of all that you do with a computer, all that magic. Dude Stanford CS department in CS106A Mehran Sahami says it's the closest thing to magic. And witchcraft also...eh. Like typing on Dvorak is magic, like the raw speed, the comfort, the freedom of thought stedda the sad fad qwerty.

- daniel-cussen 4y agoThose accusations contradict each other.
- mcguire 4y agoIt's an exclusive 'or'.
- pegasus 4y agoExactly the kind of faulty logic GPT3 is prone towards.
- daniel-cussen 4y agoNo like if you're accusing me of either being the tallest man in basketball and the shortest loser on the street, both your accusations disprove the other.

- notsapiensatall 4y agoWho said "and"? Nobody tell it about "not".
- daniel-cussen 4y agoOh. I said, you're accusing me of x, and of y. That is because he said "you are either an x" that's the first accusation, "or a y." the second accusation. So there can be no confusion then, I can present the fact he considered accusing me of being an x, to disprove I'm a y, and the fact he accused me of being a y, as evidence I'm not an x. Two accusations in this case.
- dylan604 4y agoit is odd to me that QWERTY was designed specifically to slow speedy typers down because of the mechanical devices could not keep up. even after the physical limitations were no longer an issue, we decided to keep something intentinonally designed to slow people down. that's having full 1Gbps fiber connectivity, but instead choosing a 56kbps dial-up modem instead.
- ycombinete 4y agoIIRC that story is apocryphal and has been debunked.
- dylan604 4y agoI have never heard anything in the direction you propose. I'll leave it to you to provide evidence

- daniel-cussen 4y agoIt has not. Go no further than the fastest typist, the fastest typist achieved a higher typing rate on dvorak than qwerty, by a huge amount. Barbara Blackburn. That's the maximum, that's statistically significant. And I am statistically significant in my own right, I type about 10,000 words worth of essays a day, like nothing, need to delete 90% of it because it's too radioactive. Too much hot shit. You see, if you go to http://fgemm.com http://fgemm.com, the tip of the iceberg. Dvorak vs qwerty has been named by eg Peter Thiel in Zero to One as an example of when superior technology (don't argue with me there) cannot displace an incumbent. But that was before! I have used the incompatibility to my favor, I switch the plastic keycaps on my computers and people look at it and don't touch. It's awesome! So we end up saying, I tell you what to do on your computer, you do it. Because now it's pure software (almost, not when restarting the computer), so the limitation (by all means present on physical typewriters) is gone. I love dvorak, I can type endlessly without RSI, emacs and most apps work better now, because the best letters have the best position, so the keys are easier. May I inquire who you are? ycombinete is not a real popular baby name according to the US Census. Like Yvonne? Are you trying to claim authority by using a fake name? You know that is a felony in Chile and America.
