I tried helping with the Linux kernel once, in 2001. I haven't since. I don't need abrasive people in my life.

Denotational Semantics is the basic tool of software design. Meaning, model the whole thing in math, then you know whether the implementation matches the design.

CalDigit TS4 is the best dock I've used. I tried several. I get 2.5 GB Ethernet, two external 4k monitors, and much throughput.

I remember seeing finder running on NeXT at a Halloween party at he Omni group in 1999. That was a cool experience.

I was talking to Damien when he was first writing Anki. He'd moved to Japan and wanted to learn Japanese. He married a native of Japan and last I heard still lives there. I'd call that a success story.

If it helps any, I wrote "programmer's editor" because I was trying to disambiguate between things like emacs and ms word. I'd consider both editors, but I find it much easier to write text documents meant for human cons

I was pressing control and alt and shift with my pinky fingers, and that's how I blew out my arm. I switched to a Kinesis Advantage keyboard and now I have control, alt, hyper, super, backspace, and shift under my left thumb. My right

The ZSA firmware fork of QMK does this! I don't have it enabled on my moonlander, but many of my friends do.

I do focus mate with my friends and it's amazingly productive for me.

I agree. I blew out my left arm for a year from too much typing, so I switched to kinesis style keyboards so I could put modifier keys under my thumbs. I dunno if your suggestion was meant to be serious, but it's still great.

We're also limited and shaped by keyboards. Why only one letter per finger? The datahand does five! Why are key switches only press? What about analog partial key press? There are Hall effect keyboard switches that do that, I want to t

What letter is a good start if you do a reset at every word boundary? Maybe whatever letter is most common?

Repeatedly pressing the home row keys almost always turned into word end sequences like erere, I assume from words like there/were/here. I'm not sure how to go further with single character frequencies.

I worked at SimSpace, we had a million lines of Haskell written in house. It was wonderful! It was broken up into 150-175 packages with a surprisingly shallow dependency tree, making compile times decent. It helped that our large applicatio

Author here, the original paper has a full keylogger that also catches mouse clicks. I don't know if this is a good measure or not, but it's fun to build and use. I'll try it for a few months and maybe post my thoughts.

Or an affordable busy.bar cause the hardware I used in this post is $35 ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/4800 ) I'd love to have a busy bar, but they seem expensive for what they do.

True! The original 2015 article I found on Linux Weekly News had comments that worried about that https://lwn.net/Articles/651384/ I think Linux is safe because everyone uses it.

I didn't write it in 2015 when my coworkers asked me not to. I do want to see if open source software I use has spread the knowledge to increase survival. I refused the jerk move!

I wish I had access to papers for free, I'd read more and do more things. For example, the earliest magnetic gears papers were $25 each and I needed about ten that cited each other. That's why I didn't try to create a magnet
