How can I prove that if I borrowed it from a friend or a library?

Ok, but then you have to type an A with your left ring finger instead of using your pinky. Doesn't it slow you down? I'm asking because I never got in that habit and religiously kept using the finger "assigned" to each k

But why should I use a non-default setting when I have a key right there on the keyboard for that very purpose?

by klez 7y ago
I do. If I need to type a full word, all uppercase (e.g. the name of a constant) or simply more than one uppercase letter I'll use caps lock, because it allows me to keep touch typing without having to change the hand that keeps shift

That wasn't the point of GP's comment. Of course you only have one round of voting. Their point was, if you have 8 options and you don't really care for most of them (i.e. only the ordering of the first two or three matters t

Talking about Christmas, we used to go to my aunt's on Christmas day and I remember the time they bought an Amiga for my cousins. We were very young so between games we used to have a good laugh with the program that did text-to-speech

The prime directive of said website is to never name it on hacker news. But I'm pretty sure you can Google the prime directive itself and figure out where it comes from. As a hint, it starts with "ng".

I thought so. You may want to make it more explicit :)

Yeah, I'd love to read it, but (on mobile, at least) there's infinite scrolling kicking in every time I reach the bottom. Ironic.

To be fair lisps are multi-paradigm languages, especially Common Lisp.

Yeah, me too. It's incredible how fast it can be, when words are in the dictionary. I need to type code in my messages sometimes (like quick help for a colleague). I think it would be a nightmare with T9.

Nice to see someone developed a plug-in[0] for the Michela machine[1] (the one used in the Italian Parliament). The one used in the Parliament is actually just a midi keyboard, which means it can be reproduced with a relatively cheap 2-octa

And this makes it better how? That's one of the reason a blink quasi-monopoly is not a good thing. We risk them becoming the standard to which the web must conform. On the other hand, an independent standard organization (which, of c

Or put the bread in the unplugged toaster and plug it when you want it to start. Or, if the socket is not at comfortable reach, use a switch between the toaster plug and the socket. Not tidy, maybe, but it works.

In Italy we have a business class which also has small (4 people) private rooms so you can have meetings while traveling. Not exactly what you had in mind, but still an extra over the "point a to point b" aspect.

"Pleasant" is subjective. In the last couple years I had to do Venice-Rome relatively often. It's a 3.5 hours trip, if everything goes well. Usually it's been 4, and in a couple of occasions 6.
