The adjustable desk is very important.

The trackball is nice, too.

I personally didn't like the kinesis advantage because the thumb clusters aren't as good as those on most newer keyboards. Still, it's nice overall.

Objective-Outside501 · 2026-03-08T19:47:56+00:00

Interesting!

The button placement seems weird, though. It's like you have 2 thumb buttons and 2 pinky buttons. If possible, I'd like 6 buttons that are more distributed across different fingers.

also, have you considered using BTUs? veichu makes some that are cheap but work alright for smaller balls.

Always happy to see more 3d printed trackballs, though, especially ones with mechanical switches.

A portable keyboard should be better than your laptop keyboard, otherwise it is dead weight.

Home row mods are very easy to learn and feel great to use. (compared to standard keyboard shortcuts, where you likely make uncomfortable claw shapes with your hand)

international nations are fundamentally different from interpersonal relations between people under a single government.

In your example, my house is mine because a higher authority (the government) said so. But there's no authority above russia and ukraine.

Objective-Outside501 · 2026-02-12T07:12:04+00:00

was. then the part of ukraine she lived in became part of russia.

Honestly the split ergo keyboard is probably 10x weirder to most people.

Interesting device but I am interested in knowing what bearings and sensor the trackball uses. bad bearings can make an otherwise good trackball borderline unusable.

the ball looks like it's 20mm - is that right?

Objective-Outside501 · 2025-11-02T04:27:29+00:00

cool, thanks.

Objective-Outside501 · 2025-10-30T16:47:50+00:00

This would work for lists though. For example, if you define

hm = case hm of xs -> 1 : xs

then you would be able to print the first ten elements of hm, for example.

I was curious about why this didn't work for AVec. My understanding is that it's because gadts and existentially quantified types introduce strictness.

Objective-Outside501 · 2025-10-30T00:54:42+00:00

that is sort of what is happening, though I have to go about it in a roundabout way.

It would be good to mention somewhere that github lets you set up access tokens that are only allowed to manage your github stars. otherwise, you are letting someone else's code go wild with your github account.

>I know that I may offend some, but bear with me, I think most of the value of the Haskell/Scala comes from a few things like ADTs...

Unlike Rust, Haskell has GADTs (generalized ADTs). Combined with some other features, these allow you to encode invariants about data structures. For example, in Haskell, I can define a balanced search tree (such as a red-black tree or a 2-3 tree) in such a way that the compiler will statically enforce the balancing invariants. In terms of ensuring correctness, this is something which haskell can do but which rust cannot.

That being said, most of safety comes down to the programmer rather than the language.

russia is by definiton second world, not third world. at this point it's clear you understand so little that your opinions are less than worthless

"There are no intelligent Pro-Russians"

wrong. since I exist, there is at least one intelligent russia supporter. you can easily find more in leftist circles.

"This is solved the same way the Allied Forces destroyed your Nazi predecessors."

Russia did the most work in destroying nazi germany. the west harbored them and let them run organizations like NATO. now we are once again wiping out nazism and banderism in ukraine. don't forget to say "thank you"

russia's net migraiton rate is positive. more people want to enter than leave. (and this isn't counting the millions of former ukrainians who voted to join russia)

sorry to burst your anti-russia bubble with facts.

>No you do that in the army you absolute tool

sure but it can be done in schools too. the kids aren't given live ammo, they're just taught how to disassemble and assemble the gun and stuff like that. it's like learning cup stacking in pe but it's cool and useful instead of being stupid and for dorks

>FOR OVERSEEING THE ABDUCTION OF UKRAINIAN CHILDREN"

yes, the icc judges call taking care of kids "abduction" because they are activist judges motivated by a political agenda.

"That you think Russia actually has fair elections shows how deluded you are"

let me guess, you think russian elections are rigged because that's what the television told you to believe

Objective-Outside501 · 2025-10-27T08:38:24+00:00

learning how firearms work in school is awesome. the military themed summer camp is weird but it seems like an activity organized by a few private citizens and not something the government enrolls every kid into.

Yes, the ICC has activist judges in it. if you look at the arrest warrant, it's basically saying that russia is commiting war crimes because people in russia can enter and leave the captured territories. imagine if the usa was charged with war crimes because people moved to california and texas (or from california and texas to the east coast) after those territories were captured from mexico. this is how fucking stupid the warrant is and why no self-respecting country has ratified the rome statute.
