The classic "How does your site perform if your cat is standing on the F11 key" test
- joshrotenberg 12y agoWith the standard, classic result: "poorly".
- tempestn 12y agoLately my 3 year old's favourite passtime is to come sit on my lap while I'm trying to work (or surfing HN or whatever) and ask, "Can I press this key?" (Shift? "Uh, ya, sure.") "Can I press this key?" (Ctrl? "Sure.") Some of them make you think though. (F2? What will that do in this context?) It's not among my most productive times, but it's fun. :)
- joshschreuder 12y agoYour cat is talking at 3 years old? Very advanced!
- jakobegger 12y agoI told my 2 and a half year old that the "S" key is the snake key, so now he always asks "can i press snake?". He's also found a second snake (the 5 key).
- bobbykjack 12y agoWhen he finds the '@', he's gonna be delighted!
- semi-extrinsic 12y agoI let my 3 year old play with my laptop at times, by giving her a full screen xterm running bash in a separate tab on my tiling window manager. She mostly likes to type the letters she knows (her initial, my initial, uncle's initial etc) but it's surprising how often she manages to Ctrl-R or Windows-Shift-3 or some other combo that makes things go haywire.
- bobbykjack 12y agoI hope she's not called Rebecca Mary-Rachel Ford ...
- chiph 12y agoAnd has a cousin named Star.
- semi-extrinsic 12y agoHaha! Fortunately, her initials are not all in ASCII, so it's not gone wrong yet. But true, I should set her up with a user account that doesn't have write access on anything.
- asjo 12y agoInstall sl(1) and teach your 3 year old to type s l ENTER :-)
- coldpie 12y agoBoy, am I going to regret installing this in about an hour.
