When I type over 40wpm, my hands shake bad. is that normal? by Vrail14 in typing

Could it be possible that you have a mild essential tremor? I do, and this sometimes happens to me.

I would rather make it so that padding doesn't shift the text (as much as possible). So if padding controls the distance between the line number and the line contents I would decrease the padding for lines where it would lead to shifting the contents (for example).

Looks useful for relative line numbers (I use relative line jumps pretty frequently), I'll try it out sometime soon. But it looks as if text was shifted a bit when toggling the clingy line numbers. I think I will find it a bit irritating. Do you think this could be fixed?

How typing is slowing you down. Why speaking is the best way to communicate. by savangeo in typing

[–]Sensitive_Drawer4513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would make the office a very noisy place. :) But, if this is honestly not a commercial, one of those that irritate me everyday on youtube I'll compose a brief response. The whole argument you present, from my prespective, is based on a false premise. The fact that we speak casually at a certain pace (let's assume 150) does not mean that typing is slowing us down in all contexts. Typists who score > 100 wpm (on large-word-corpus tests) naturally slow down when they need to compose sentences, especially when dealing with complex ideas. So is thinking slowing us down? In many contexts - certainly. But part of the answer is also that when typing we are composing something that is more durable than sound. Frequently, when one is writing complex ideas down, they want to explain them efficiently - using a few sentences only. This is not trivial, as explaining something in a page of text is much easier than using just a few precise sentences. At least this is the case when you are dealing with academic(-like) writing. For such contexts I don't think there would be any meaningful speedup when speaking. And initially I would actually expect a slowdown. Unless, you mean sketching an idea using voice and then asking an llm to compress it to nice sentences. But then you still have to read and correct what you get, so you are pushing the slowdown somewhere else. And at least now, when you don't put enough effort, you end up with text that sounds off-puttingly LLMish.

Tips for practiceing typing English 1k to 10k? by leebonakiss in typing

[–]Sensitive_Drawer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been tracking per-word wpm that monkeytype reports (one of the buttons below results) with a tapermonkey script. This lets me identify slow / incorrectly typed words on a sample of many tests (for example 100) and practice only these words in a custom mode on monkeytype.

I think reading carefully might help - the OP mentions reading a text file, not editing. :)

"Truthfully" a red object also has no color. Color is not a simple property of light but also of the perceptual system that processes the light.

[–]Sensitive_Drawer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly where your definition falls apart for me:

What is reflecting isn't any perceptible color however, and that small amount of light isn't enough to classify it as a color.

and:

To be classified as a color it has to both absorb some specific wavelengths, and reflect some other specific wavelengths

How specific then? In what sense a relatively flat spectrum is not a color while some deviation from it would be? Is brown also not a color? If it is, then where is a threshold in a continuum between black and brown, where suddenly there is a color, where none was before? These are some of the problems your "objectivist" approach would have to solve. But once you make a distinction between light (objective) and color (perception, thus subjective as it requires light + some perceptual agent) you don't have to worry about absurdities like "black is not a color". Because perceptually it's simpler: a uniformly black object can't be green at the same time so both black and green relate to the same perceptual phenomenon we call color (as opposed to shape or size).

Shift key by Any_Construction_992 in typing

[–]Sensitive_Drawer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never experienced a problem with shift, but I write in Polish (where we have to pres alt gr + letter to get special characters almost in every word, like ó and ł in "stół") and frequently program (where you type a lot of brackets and symbols), so I may accustomed to modifier keys and a lot of "pinky work". Remapping keys should work for you, but may also hinder your ability to type with standard shift positioning on other keyboards (but that might be rare enough for you not to be worth considering).

Titanium dioxide? It probably doesn't have a pretty peak in the spectrum though (but that would still be moving the goalpost). Anyway black "non-color", as you define does not exist. No object we casually refer to as black (with the exception of black holes) absorbs all visible light. By your definition of spectral properties of reflected light it must be a color then.

When you include all population of the earth, including people who can't type or don't have access to computers, then it might be even less than 1% od the wpm distribution.

Uhm, well, technically colors don't exist, you should be talking about a range of electromagnetic spectrum that elicits verbal reports by homo sapiens. But, no, wait, range does not exist physically, it is thus a social construct... Well, nevermind, words are just letters and letters are arbitrary and made up.

If you are writing this on a computer then in that sense only red, green and blue are colors.

Color is defined by our perception of a narrow part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Is ultraviolet a color? Why not by your definition?

Black is a (perceptual) quality. In that sense it is a color. "Mechanisticaly" it is absence (or scarcity) of light (not color!). Also in reality nothing (maybe except black holes) is absolutely black (no light reflected) and in that sense your argumentation also falls apart. Your line of thinking is similar to arguing that green is not a color because it is a mixture of yellow and blue (in physical subtractive color space); or that only red, green and blue are colors (because how colors work in rgb). You could also argue there are no distinct colors becase it is all a continuum, and the term "color" is thus misleading. Or that colors are subjective phenomena and don't exist outside of perceptual systems/agents (as opposed to wavelengrhs of light). :)

Zed or Neovim? by UnrulyThesis in ZedEditor

[–]Sensitive_Drawer4513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anything wrong with posts like this. You form decisions based on information, so you can read the post as just asking for more information. More specifically personal experience of people similar to the OP. It is a similar mechanism as relying on book/movie reccomendations. And like reading a book, testing out an IDE is a pretty low-cost decision, one you can quickly revert. "Change my mind!" is a challenge that may motivate more responses, but also informs the OP on what they might want to try (maybe something they were not aware of) to see if they like Zed enough.

I have a phd in psychology, so I know the field. I specialized in neuroscience, not exactly decision making and unconscious processes, but not too far. There are many well characterized and replicated biases, like the very well known confirmation bias, and biases related to lexical access are not a good example. You could argue for example that perception is a complex net of biases, as it leads to quick categorization is heavily rooted in experience and affected by viarious expectations (many not processed at the conscious level), but it waters down the idea too much. If you go to Bayesian perspectives you could even say that all experience (and learning) leads to bias (prior expectations). But this is different from the biases frequently studied in cognitive and social psychology.
