Yes - totally! You either limit yourself more or double/triple your work making different system API calls depending what platform you're compiling for. Not too different from tripling your workload to support "offline"

The first frame is usually not considered a frame as no animation comes from it - but starts from it. So the second frame is actually the first frame of animation . So if you want 100 frames of animation - you need 101 frames. Therefore

After 15 years I would say stick with Dvorak. I didn't stick with it longer than a few months, as I was experimenting with alternative layouts. I found Colemak worked better for me; more comfortable and I prefer rolling fingers over al

That is especially true of Dvorak, seeing as much of the 'original research' by Dvorak himself was conveniently lost. I agree most gains are 'marginal' but some are still larger gains than others. Personally, Dvorak did

That only works if the message is coming from somewhere that can be linked with Keybase. Say for example I sign a message on Voat rather than Reddit. Then what? There exists thousands of sites that can't be paired with Keybase. Pasting

Can convert inputs to all lower-case or all upper-case before hashing. The result being people who mess up their capitalization or have CAPSLOCK on can still login without issue. This is a surprisingly common practice. Not one I agree with,

The issue here is that almost nobody actually checks the signature. Some people edit their messages to invalidate them just to see if they'll get called out on it - they almost never are. So in theory, yes. But in practice - people are
