I think you have that backwards? In competitive gaming I was always of the mentality, and taught the mentality, that you shouldn't play to win. You should play to not lose . The best players I've spoken and played with also share

The article actually mentions 4chan, so you're not wrong. That's exactly where it comes from. As a troll, to screw with people who still haven't grasped "how the internet works". Lest people have forgotten about w

Your point #3 cuts both ways. How many will refuse to contribute to a politically charged environment where they can be outed for having any thoughts outside of the acceptable groupthink? I'm a T that doesn't fit into the LGBT com

I've used it in several communities to prove identity and statements in cases where I both have either authority or a need to be trusted, since I choose to remain pseudonymous. It's easier for people to grasp/verify than the

Then you wouldn't be using Keybase if that was part of your threat model - since a significant point of using it is to tie together and prove identities across some popular sites on the net. See: https://keybase.io/nady

I use the same keyboard at work and at home - a DAS Model S with unmarked keycaps. Maybe that contributes to the brain confusion - but I like the keyboard too much to try and type using two different keyboards.

I second this - as someone who learned Qwerty as most Americans do, then learned about alternative keyboard layouts and ended up learning Dvorak, then finally settled on Colemak. In each of them I was able to type 120+wpm, and 140wpm+ in Qw

I don't study Chinese, but I do study Japanese which shares the issue of combination words being multiple kanji (not a big surprise since kanji come from hanzi after all...) It's something you learn over time for the ones that are

It isn't picking out just the Hanzi - it is picking out words! If you look at the second picture used it detects the top 3500 words from a .YAML file (and expects you to add words that are not detected in the top 3500 words). For examp
