for those who use the kinesis advantage pro keyboard, what finger dco you press '1' with? by alignment, it should be pinky ... but use pinky = have to move palm / wrist use ring = wrong finger, but palm doesn't move

cjhowe01:07:53

are you using the newest version? with the older version it's a LOT easier to just use your ring finger. i think you should do whatever is most comfortable

qqq02:07:43

afaik, all versions of the advantage pro have the same layout

qqq02:07:15

'do whatever is most comfortable" <-- resulted in bad key/finger bindings on regular querty

qqq02:07:25

on kinesis, everything else feels right, except the '1' and '0' keys

cjhowe02:07:42

yeah, that's the one i had, the newer one has new key switches for the number keys so idk how that changes things

qqq02:07:53

normally, when I type, I can rest my palms on the keyboard

qqq02:07:03

this works for all keys, this works for hitting 1 with ring finger

qqq02:07:15

but if i hit 1 with pinky, I have to notifacbly shift my palms

cjhowe02:07:23

ohhhh, i know what you're talking about now

cjhowe02:07:35

i thought you meant f1... yeah, just use your pinky

qqq02:07:44

no, I meant regular '1' key

qqq02:07:57

question: when you type, do you rest your palms on the keyboard, or do you 'hover' your palms?

qqq02:07:03

because if I was hovering, 1 pinky would be normal

qqq02:07:10

but with rest palm, 1 pinky is notifable shift of palm

cjhowe02:07:27

i rest my palms, but i also use those wrist pads it comes with to slightly elevate my wrists

qqq02:07:40

damn, I threw those away

cjhowe02:07:31

since it's an ortholinear keyboard you really should use your pinky for the 1 key

cjhowe02:07:50

maybe just adapt some different wrist rests for the same purpose?

cjhowe02:07:07

i hear the 3M double sided tape is really good

qqq02:07:13

they're $18 on amazon

qqq02:07:23

might be worthwhile for a $300 keyboard if it fixes my typing posture

cjhowe02:07:15

i should mention i have larger hands... idk if it will fix the issue entirely but it may help

qqq02:07:19

part of the problem I guess is my thums are resting on delete/enter rather than backspace/space

qqq02:07:30

perhaps if I changed thumb rest, the 1/0 keys become natural too

cjhowe02:07:39

yeah, that could definitely be a problem

I don't get the wordplay on 'prose'

noisesmith03:07:08

literate / prose cons / cons "pros and cons"

Scenario: Local REPL on IDE, Remote REPL on server. Why not, in local repl: (def my-var (remote-var :address "127.0.0.1" :port 5555 :var 'foo.bar/quux)) (note that foo.bar/quux shoud be java.io.Serializable) Once it possible, we will be abre to do (def db (remote-var :address "127.0.0.1" :port 5555 :script '(def db (d/db @conn)) :var 'db)) (yes, datomic db is serializable)

souenzzo18:07:44

Not sure if I want this solution... the ideal shoud be zero server deps. Just deps on client

noisesmith18:07:46

that model of IPC gets ugly fast - there are so many failure modes that don’t exist on a single machine that you need to deal with over a network

noisesmith18:07:53

and you end up with code that is either full of add hoc error checking around the io (every access of a remote value is an io opp that is liable to fail or lag), or code that is very brittle because it doesn’t account for those failures

noisesmith18:07:08

(in my experience)

noisesmith18:07:13

once even one small thing goes wrong, a simple question like “what failed, and why” that would take maybe a few minutes on a single box can take hours - if you even ever find an answer

cjhowe19:07:05

that's why you never take the keycaps off

cjhowe19:07:11

I’m sure herzog would jump at the opportunity.

he'll have to get in line, judging from the retweets.
