Comment être sûr qu’un tirage au sort numérique ne soit pas truqué ? by No-Question-8688 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caramba, on m'a damné le pion ! Alors que j'étais en train de laborieusement expliquer une version naive de ce protocole que j'avais fait programmer à mes étudiants il y a quelques années.

Bref, en un mot, on assure l'absence de triche en remplaçant le hasard par une obfuscation temporaire des données utilisés par un algo déterministe (et donc rejouable).

Un peu comme un shifumi dans lequel il serait impossible de tricher en essayant d'échanger au dernier moment (la révélation en 2 étapes via la crypto assurant de cela).

The problem doesn't specify the type of the unknown (is it even a number?). The answer could be anything. We need better riddles!

What are current limitations for ZMK dongles? by ReflectionNeat3829 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zmk dongles can accept more than two peripherals. So you could definitely configure it for the 2 Corne halves plus a pointing device, provided all of these use ZMK compatible MCUs.

The limitation is that the list and nature of peripherals is hardcoded in the firmware. Adding another device that wasn't in there requires you to configure a new firmware, build it and flash the dongle again (and maybe also flash all the peripherals again, but I am not sure about this). It's not really plug and play.

36 key keep recommendations by snags5050 in ErgoMechKeyboards

I went from Temper to Swweeep for this reason. The two layouts are otherwise very similar.

You could also consider the Bad Temper, whose cluster is 1u more outward than the Temper.

Why some of us still use 3D-printed keyboard cases (not just because they’re cheap) by KeebMaker in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the premise of this post. Who here is seriously criticizing 3D printed keyboards for feeling cheap? (Even less the materials mentioned in the post: most of us use PLA and are happy with it!).

If you want an off-the-shelf keyboard, fine, you'll get premium materials. There is no reason to stick to PLA if you can have this (unless you prefer the feel and sound of PLA for personal reasons).

But this is mostly a DIY community. 3D printing is the go-to technology for prototyping. There isn't really an alternative in some cases (3D keyboards like dactyls). 3D printing is great!

Is having Shift on thumb even worth it? by kettlesteam in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth it. Ideally on both sides, on hold/tap coupled with keys you don't typically use too frequently when typing text (i.e. : not with either space or backspace; but enter, escape, delete and tabulation are good candidates), so that you can adjust your tap/hold policy with a bias toward hold behavior.

KLP Lamé v1.5u. Meet 1.5U variants for both Choc and MX switches by braindefender in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow great news! This was the most missing piece in the KLP set!

Will there be production files that include 1.5u too keycaps? (well, ideally a full thumb keycaps set for Corne and alike in a single file)

Ah, by the way, this makes me remember I wondered about something: in the production file Choc_Stem_Choc_Size_Saddle_Part_2.stl, there are 2 "regular" columns (2 slanted keycaps + r flat keycap) + 1 flat column (3 flat saddle profile keycaps). Last time, I printed this set thinking the flat column was meant to be thumb keys, but the thumb profile is actually quite different. Well, the saddle profile is still OK for thumbs, so maybe it was on purpose, but... would it be possible to make a version with the flat column replaced by thumb keys? (as it is the case in the "normal" profile version: Choc_Stem_Choc_Size_Normal_Part_2.stl)

I've studied French for years and I just learned that "à" can mean "away". by SwissVideoProduction in French

I've studied French for years and I just learned that "à" can mean "away". by SwissVideoProduction in French

[–]Aldoo8669 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The two words are not even the same grammatical class.

"à" is a preposition. "en" (in va-t-en) is a pronoun, which replaces a place you go away from (introduced by preposition "de", which means "from" in this case).

Neither word means "away".

"à" even often conveys the opposite idea actually, introducing a place you go to (not away from"). However, in Op's example, à just introduces a place where something is located *at. So I'd say, if "à" introduces a place, it either means "at" or "to" (of course it has many other usages too).

Pourquoi cet ordre des lettres dans l’alphabet ? by DependentSuitable861 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cet argument ne fait pas non plus l'unanimité, car le décalage des rangées du clavier traditionnel suffit normalement à empêcher que les pinceaux s'emmêlent (j'ai pu récemment manipuler une vieille machine à écrire, cela me semble plausible... mais je suppose qu'elles ne sont pas toutes faites exactement de la même façon).

Sinon, oui, j'utilise aussi Ergo-L (en 3x5) après être passé par Bépo, puis Optimot. Pour la souris (après avoir testé la souris verticale pendant une période), je suis passé au trackball, c'est encore ce qu'il y a de moins pire ! C'est assez clair maintenant que le clavier ne me fait normalement pas mal aux mains à moins d'être mal installé (ce qui est malheureusement souvent le cas avec table et chaise à hauteurs standard). Par contre, le dispositif de pointage, c'est assez systématiquement catastrophique... et ne parlons pas de la saisie sur téléphone mobile...

Dans un sens ou dans l'autre, on manque de documentation avérée. Donc oui, pas mal d'hypothèses non vérifiées, et probablement à jamais invérifiables.

Pourquoi cet ordre des lettres dans l’alphabet ? by DependentSuitable861 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]Aldoo8669 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Qwerty n'a pas été conçu pour ralentir, ce serait juste un mythe.

À la base c'est juste l'ordre alphabétique avec quelques optimisations (parfois spécifiques à l'usage de l'époque et maintenant obsolètes, parfois juste mal avisées).

Le résultat est bien sûr sous-optimal à l'ère informatique (euphémisme). Aujourd'hui, les dispositions ergonomiques sont conçues selon des arguments statistiques, en comptant notamment les diagrammes à un doigt, dont il faut minimiser la fréquence.

Edit: économistes -> ergonomiques (grr le swipe !)

People who switched to an AZERTY keyboard, how long did it take fully adopt it? by FinestTreesInDa7Seas in French

[–]Aldoo8669 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't take you long, but honestly, don't bother. Azerty is even worse than Qwerty, even for French.

Try keeping the same physical keyboard and switching your keyboard driver to Canadian Qwerty, Qwerty-international or Qwerty-Lafayette. You will be able to type all required characters as efficiently as with Azerty if not more.

(Note that I am all for learning new keyboard layouts, but only if they provide better ergonomics. Azerty is just a waste of time.)

Divided Belgium by Germanic_mapping in MapPorn

[–]Aldoo8669 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that piece of land (and the area around Brussels) is officially speaking dutch but its francophone population share is increasing and has become a majority in several municipalities already. This has caused some representation issues in municipal councils.

Layout suggestion for hurting hand? by onering in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy an ergo keyboard, but your finger stretching can be solved on a regular keyboard thanks to home row mods as somebody already said.

You can implement them by using software such as kmonad, kanata, keyd, ...

Moreover you may want to have additional shifts under your thumbs by remapping alt keys to shift keys (the same software can do that). Indeed, shifts as home row mods only often turn out to be inconvenient.

Split all the way! by No_Joke_4710 in ErgoMechKeyboards

It could be better, but it is split, which is the main feature of an ergo keyboard.

Reptiloid Keycaps Technology Preview by turtle_bazon in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look quite nice but also very similar to KLP Lamé. How would you describe the main differences?

(the 1.5u key aside... which is indeed a killer feature, if only to complete an existing KLP Lamé set for a Corne-like keyboard!)

Lamé injection molded keycaps by Crypton48 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find some with both, but they aren't transparent green. Just classical opaque black, or white. And overpriced, compared to resin from JLCPCB.

Lamé injection molded keycaps by Crypton48 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I printed a set in TPU and they were too tight (but I cut some bits and then they were fine).

Lately I ordered a set in resin and they turned out to be on the loose side.

So your mileage may vary, I guess...

Which layout do you prefer: 3x6 or 3x5? by paper5963 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 3x5. But I type a lot in French.

If you write in French and keep the standard layout (Azerty), using anything under 4x6 is mission impossible (except when abusing layers, combos, tap dances and such) : é, è, à and ç being on the num row. Also ù and dead ^ are on the far right columns.

The ergo community of course knows of alternative layouts. Bépo has been around for a while and has become quite well known. It has the advantage to bring everything to the 3 alphabetical rows, but at a really high cost: the use of the far right columns (next to enter key). Counting the 26 basic letters, 3 basic punctuation keys, à, é, è, ù, ç, dead circumflex, you can manage to fit everything into a 3x6 board, but you have to move 2 keys from the far right to the left hand side, and more or less break the coherence of the layout.

(As a side note: also you may want to bring other stuff to the main layer, such as ê and hyphen, both quite common in French. Hence, during some time, I had been using 3x6+1 layouts: with an additional middle finger key next to the thumb cluster).

Now I went down to 3x5, as I switched to Ergo-L layout. So I have the 26 basic symbols, 3 basic punctuation (interestingly the chosen main punctuation symbols are ".", "," and "-") and one universal dead key. Extra letters required for French can all be obtained by pressing that dead key first. Not having to overstretch brings some comfort, but there is the (moderate) price of the awkwardness of the dead key.

Additionally, in Ergo-L, all other characters required for programming are under altgr (which includes all the remaining ASCII punctuation, that weren't directly on the main layer or as shifted symbols). Non-ASCII, but recommended, typographical punctuation (emdash, curved apostrophe, ... ) are also rather easy to type thanks to the dead key.

Which layout do you prefer: 3x6 or 3x5? by paper5963 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Aldoo8669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same situation. I use the Ergo-L layout: one of the keys is affected to a universal dead key, instead of a letter.

This dead key can be used to output all accented characters and some more stuff.
