   There is some more serious research, the Colemak FAQ, refers to Carpalx ( http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx/?colemak ), there you can actually take a look at the several Dvorak layouts and QWERTY. I actually saw more discuss

   Makes sense to me, I felt the exact same way. I think that it's better to let the muscle memory of Colemak to develop and you will eventually get used to vim. When I use vim I'm constantly thinking about words, like 'ci'

   I wasn't very clear about it because it does really vary a lot. I've read of people reaching 40-50 in a week, for me it took me about 15 days. After that I went 'cold turkey' and dropped QWERTY, while doing that I think

   Same here in Colemak, I saw a lot of people taking the wrong approach and designing complicated .vimrcs. I think that's not great, specially if you have to do some pair programming with QWERTY users.

   I would dare to say no, if you already know Dvorak then switching to Colemak doesn't offer a lot of advantage. There are some reports that say that Colemak is marginally better but IMHO they where not conclusive. Bottom line, both are

   Great question, Dvorak is awesome, but the 'great' thing about Colemak is that the symbols and numbers are unchanged (in contrast of Dvorak). So basically the learning curve from QWERTY, should be shorter, and simpler. Another per

   I was thinking about covering that topic. It's not that painful, I didn't have any problems on using Vim with colemak with only one alteration: inoremap lh <Esc> Before I used k-j, but the position of those in Colemak is &#x

   Hey there! I'm basically using Amphetype... it's OSS written in Python. You can feed it with text (like your favorite public domain novels in .txt, Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorites) and then it extracts lessons based on diff

    Yeah, because C++ is well thought and designed, specially simple when trying to solve hard problems with it.

    Got to agree with you here, the keyboard is quite overpriced (IMHO). I'm with an 87 keys with brown switches at the office and at home I use a Das Keyboard with blue switches. For me it's either brown or blue, clear switches are t

    Been using Colemak for about 5 months now, already reaching my old typing speed of 90 WPM with QWERTY, we'll see how it goes in the next 5 months. It takes a lot of effort and discipline to switch, if you do it I would advice you to ma

    I'm guessing that you will receive some sort of notice on your data. You should reconsider foreign hosting the next time, this sucks.

    I agree. And I would also prefer my data to fall in the hands of a random government with less resources than the US government.

    I will take a look to VPSs in the Netherlands... not a bad idea. Would have to look for great latency though. This is prometheus (Italy) http://www.prometeus.net/sito/

    It does concern me actually, RamNode is operating elsewhere if I recall correctly. And there is a great smaller VPS provider operating in italy called prometheus (I think). I would host here in Chile, but we don't have VPS providers he

    I would love to know if there are some resources for typography on mobile (iOS). At WWDC 2013, it became very clear that iOS 7 will make a huge push in the use of typography as one of the main ways to give an app more personality. In the pa

    I hope this doesn't result in another Final Cut Pro X, in that case, everyone back to Pro Tools or whatever alternatives are available.
