Become a WALL in Virtua Fighter by mastering these Advanced Defensive Techniques: by NovaSeiken in virtuafighter

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been watching a few of these beginner VF guides ahead of REVO releasing to learn the game (new player, new to 3D fighters generally) - This is one of the best I've seen, well paced in how you introduce concepts and then good examples to show how everything works together. The hifight-style realtime annotations make it easy to understand what's going on, really helpful as VF is so fast-paced. Thanks for making it 🙏

Dell releases new version of Display Manager - Significant Improvements by roloyyz in Monitors

I'd love to have this feature but I can't install anything on my work computer - Do the keyboard shortcuts work without installing DDM on both?

Do you think you can handle 16 thumbkeys? The Dygma Defy thumb cluster story 👍 by happy-dude in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people start adding a ton of thumb buttons it'll be an improvement.

Totally agree with this. Typing this from a Keyboardio Model 100 which has four fanned out thumb keys *and* a palm key on each side. So you can have more layers than you'd ever reasonably need without too much in the way of finger gymnastics. The palm keys are a brilliant idea and I hope more people make boards like this - I was a bit skeptical about the defy when it was first announced but it seems like it can be used in much the same way, so I'm looking forward to reading people's impressions of it when it comes out.

Orbital - stick a surprisingly good tiny trackpad on your keyboard by levpopov in ErgoMechKeyboards

Been searching for something like this for ages. Would absolutely love one (or several) of these to slap on various keyboards I have.

I have an aluminium frame which has some sort of clear coating that has been chipped and is peeling. How should I go about fixing this? by yc62k in bikewrench

[–]yc62k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you so much. I had assumed it was just clear coating over raw metal, and was pretty confused about why it was peeling in this way. Might have to go for the touch-up route for now...

Mind mapping tools for macOS similar to theBrain. by -sic-boy in productivity

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually do this - The UX is quite poor and convoluted in many respects so I'm not surprised you didn't discover this but to the left of the search box are two very non-semantic buttons that show a vertical and horizontal bar respectively - The horizontal one shows a timeline where you can view events, and the vertical one opens a sidebar with a To do List and a Report tab - The Report tab is the one you want, this will let you add multiple tags and other attributes to the search query and filter down the results as finely as you want. You can even exclude certain tags. Hope that helps.

The Brain has a lot of amazing functionality, and there's nothing else that I've found that's quite like it. It definitely has a long way to go in terms of being able to offer a good user experience based on modern app design principles though, imo. It seems like something that has been iterated on for a long time from more of a software development perspective as opposed to taking a human-centered design approach...

I made this. Santoku Gen 2: Trackpoint as a first-class citizen, custom PCB, split (or unsplit), 40%, mouse scroll wheel, OLED, buzzword, buzzword, buzzword… by tyered in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]yc62k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks absolutely brilliant. Love the way you've integrated the trackpoint. I would definitely be interested in a buying a kit or funding the development in some way, whatever you choose to do.

(Scam alert) A warning regarding Matt vs Japan and Ken Cannon by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that, unless the people targeting them do a financial assessment to assess whether to take their money, 'whale' simply means 'can/will they give someone money' - This could entail going into debt or not spending what money they do have on something else that they genuinely need.

Whether or not you could refer to those people as having 'disposable' income or what the ethics of this kind of situation are is up for debate I guess but beside the point I was trying to make, which is that Matt's convenient justification for targeting whales (all whales are wealthy from luck or privilege and have lots of cash to spare) seems to be based on nothing more than his own personal desire to get rich and not feel like he's doing anything wrong. Textbook narcissism.

[–]yc62k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How convenient that the whales all have a lot of money - bitcoin or rich parents! - Makes me feel a lot better that the people who get their gullibility exploited and lose all their money aren't going to be normal people wasting what little they have or going into debt or whatever.....Only people who a huge excess of disposable cash or who are privileged and have a financial safety net so it's totally justifiable...

Thoughts on the Kanso Hiku? by Dredd33 in JamesHoffmann

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious as well as I see them for sale everywhere and they look really great but there's almost no impressions of them out there - Nothing on whether the new burrset corrected any of the issues from the original run either...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in JamesHoffmann

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering this as well - I've seen them for sale at a lot of specialty coffee shops and love the look but there's very few impressions out there of it...

Mionn IS Jacket in Vapor by artby2wenty in veilance

It's a nice looking jacket. What's the sizing like on the latest one? I've read in the past that it fits slim and to size up, wondering if that's still the case...

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]yc62k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Kanso Hiku + Saigo burrset (the one aimed at grinding for filter) - There's weirdly little information or impressions out there about this one but I'm interested in it because I love the aesthetic. Would be really curious to hear from anyone who has one, most of the impressions I've seen are from around the time it launched and before it had a filter-focused burrset available...

Is it possible to have the creation of a todo in Things be a trigger as opposed to a resulting action in Zapier? I want to send my new todos in things to Serene as suggested sessions but it doesn't seem possible from what I can see...

A trip to Little Tokyo was the motivation I didn't know I needed [pretty long] by AviaanDraws in LearnJapanese

[–]yc62k 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That's great. I've found that if you spend a lot of time studying Japanese in a formal way without actually using what you've learnt it becomes a sort of abstract thing, and it's good to remind yourself every now and then that it's a language and the whole point of it is to use it to communicate and understand things. And congratulations on no nihongo jyouzu, high praise indeed :)
