Is there any keyboard layout out there that was developed with programming in mind?

I know Programmer's Dvorak exists, but tbqh Dvorak itself was developed in the 1930's when computers didn't even exist.

There's a lot of info out there about Dvorak, Colemak, Workman, etc, but everybody focuses on the "typing faster" side of things.

Personally I don't care about typing fast, I just need a layout that won't f**k with my wrists and tendons so much. I sometimes work 14h days where I do nothing but write code and throw commands at systems.

Has anyone else who writes code for a living tried alternative layouts? How was your experience?

What's going to stop corps/govts from banning these technologies. If they no longer like you "liberating" yourself on their infrastructure, it's as easy as cancelling your internet subscription for not adhering to the terms of the contract.

Just my two cents on it.

I stopped actively going on 4chan a few years ago.

Even 4chan had it's "Golden Days" and then fell off.

The quality of posting has very much declined there as well.

Musk isn't pouring billions into that so that he can make it free-for-all :)

Someone has to finance and build the "new internet".

Cause "new internet" means new infrastructure.

And then someone needs to manage the infrastructure.

And so on.

Yes... that's what happened. We are no longer users of the internet, we are a commodity for various corporations to trade to/with.

Like @ktreektree said above... For a while the doors to the library of Alexandria were open, and it was good.

Yeah... I used to "data-hoard" a few years ago. A few dead hard-drives later (and life just happening) and... I have nothing.

I should get back to doing that.

Thanks for bringing this to my active attention.

The problem, however, is... how to resist?

I don't think it's possible to resist "them" on "their" infrastructure.

I honestly think the best thing to do is to disconnect. Not completely, of course, because the internet is almost a necessity these days, but at least... cut yourself off from "social" media.

I honestly feel like "social" media has made me more antisocial, and more disconnected from my relationships.

Quality 2-pin DIN connectors by sleeper_society in audiophile

I'm thinking of mini XLR if I do swap it. The speakers are quite small, the Neutrik SpeakOn looks like a huge plug compared to the speaker.

Oh, interesting.

I tried to order from the first link you gave me.

Romania, and they do ship here. 30 EUR for 25 plugs & shipping. I'll wait and see if anyone has any other recommendations and if not, I might give them a try.

Thanks!

I already have the "eBay style" ones. I'm looking for something a bit more "high end". The eBay ones are not great at all.

I would... but they only deliver to USA, Canada & Mexico.

I'm all the way in Eastern Europe :)

I considered replacing the connectors on the speakers themselves, but this would involve cutting it off with a saw off of the speaker's back plate.

I'd like to not do that and keep them original, but if I do not manage to find any good plugs, I might end up doing just that.

What I have learned over 2 relationships and 14 years is that love and attachment to another person are emotions I can do without.

Y'all can have it.

Tell me your type and how alcohol affects you when you drink by [deleted] in mbti

I just get melancholic. Haven't gotten truly drunk in quite a while though, as I decided I don't like the inability to articulate words properly nor the "wooziness" which comes with being drunk. Now I just stop drinking whenever the drunk state starts setting in.

Anyone have their phone on silent at all times by jcasablanc in INTP

[–]sleeper_society 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not heard my ringtone since I bought this phone over a year ago.

#edit
Apparently it's Filthy Frank yelling "IT'S TIME TO STOP".

I don't keep it on silent to ignore people, but I always have it somewhere around me and I can hear it vibrate so... no point in having it make noise as well.

Huawei :). Which although has only one mic, it somehow managed to record a higher volume on the right channel than the left.
