My desktop is a 2690v4 with 128GB RAM. As a computational physicist I have access to a number of supercomputers to do larger simulations on, but queue time on them can be a hassle for 'smaller' jobs that a regular desktop can&#x27

Yes, most certainly. I prefer it over dvorak too - much more comfortable and balanced (see my other answer in this thread). Add an ortholinear keyboard like a typematrix into the mix and it's the best typing experience I've manage

I am competent in both dvorak and workman alternative layouts. Both took approximately two weeks of use to not be completely awkward, annoying and slow. Then probably about another month to be up to scratch with my qwerty speed. Switching b

Difficult to say this problem is solved yet - the jury is still out, but I've done a good deal of work on identifying what the mechanism of a defect in superconducting phase qubits may be. TL;DR: Two level system defects are a 20 year
