On a certain level this is like arguing that you will never see this problem in an Arduino. I mean, sure. On many levels and planes you are correct, but not where any of the intersections matter.

AMD has the same problem (Inception). Predictive instruction pipelining makes timing and context separation harder. Even if you are on s390x or M1 it's not like you are safe either. This is a whole field of study. In my mind the

You install App X from Vendor Y on to vSystem Z. Vector is found to get untrusted code C to run in the user area on Z via exploit in X that Y has not acknowledged, so researchers publish a CVE with an example. C starts trying to read memory

I kid. The entire Zen class of AMD processors are vuln to Inception so you're not safe anywhere. There is the "just use OS/2" strategy of the 1990s (referring to the period from 1995-2002 where you could sit happy in y

The NES incorporated a chipset that buried an entire 6502 inside. You can get a Rockchip ARM chip for the price of a pizza that incorporates mixed cores on the die. Maybe the chipmakers don't NEED to solve every edge case until the

Performance sorta hinges on it. It could be that the cheaper way the chipmakers deal with it is to phase out the 4core set and push the cores on a die higher, and to do that--incorporate an older core design into dedicated cores for untrus

You didn't have to think about this when you ran your code on your own chips; so it's your fault for backdooring the front end into the datacenter. But now we have the 21st-century mainframe we like to call the cloud, where everyt

the inner columns are not great and you do need to get Z out of the same column as A to free up that SFB. Interestingly, Spanish might be easier to optimize as a solitary language if the punctuation keys are moved away from the vowel clus

I've been QWERTY-free since 2012. I do the layout in firmware so I don't need to change the mapping in the OS. And I use QMK and ZMK and I have a travel board that's bluetooth. This concern might have been real back on O

Let's go into why P is on the wrong side of the board in Workman (and in QWERTY, too). It is true that P is a vowel-hugging consonant. A distance analyzer that the creator of Workman used to look at travel distance would of course c

The QMK and ZMK projects let you do this in firmware. Programmable boards are going to stick around long after we're gone. At least until Elon sells his brain-to-USB HID.

You have an ISO keyboard. For those with ANSI boards (2 less keys) it's harder to do this. That's why in Canaria (audience is ES speakers in USA/MEX in particular) the grave/tilde key violates the principle of using

Some stats. Canary and Canaria are very high-roll layouts. This allows for lots of combos where 2-5 letters can be hit in a fast sweeping motion across the board (a "roll"). canaria (ASHTNEOI) (0 likes) w l y p k z j o u ;

It's noted in the README.md Workman has a bad vowel cluster and one of the more annoying bigrams is LY. The letter P in Workman is on the wrong side of the board. If you are making a vowel cluster (or close to one if you leave out

Microsoft's split board keyboard mostly only-addresses the wrists. It does not deal with redirects, SFBs and doesn't eliminate stretching (keyboards that reduce the number of keys help with that). QWERTY is an alternating layout.

Instead of counting distance like Workman does (and totally ignoring weird+painful finger stretches), good `ol community-debate among layout experts, who have collectively switched layouts thousands of times, was done to make Canary. Intro
