Most reduced ergo keyboards are heavily reliant upon layers to provide access to function keys, media keys, numpad, etc. I have several ergo keyboards, and my favorite (and one I'm currently typing on) is the Atreus [1]. In the default

I use an Atreus [1] as my daily keyboard, and Phil has been experimenting with various forms of "cyberdeck" based on that [2,3]. Something like that, with a minimalist emacs config like [4] would be an awesome portable writing dev

There is so-called "pin risk," that could cause a larger loss than the "maximum". In this example, say the underlying closes at $102. The call you sold is ITM and is exercised, leaving you on the hook for 100 shares. How

A project idea I've toyed with is "Where does X come from?", which would show someone, to some approximation, where the things they buy and consume originated, and the path they took to get there, and where their waste goes.

Specifically I'm questioning this bit: > Pressing CTRL simply sets all bits but the last 5 to zero in the character that you typed. You can imagine it as a bitwise AND. If that were the case then CTRL-(any column) would result in th

The table is a nice way to view ASCII (maybe better transposed?), but the discussion on CTRL-[ for ESC can't be quite right, since then CTRL-; would work too, no?

Aesthetics? How about ergonomics? In the same vein as "alert fatigue," having too many panels on a dashboard (or too many lines on a graph, etc) can overload the user, and obscure the real issues. > show me everything so I can
