asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-12#1712434 << this is hilariously, riotously wrong, btw. doyahave anyfuckingidea what is involved in making a DECENT ( i.e. injection-molded parts ) kbd ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-12 02:43 kanzure: i would also like to register a complaint about lack of n-key rollover and also another complaint about keyboard keypress registration latency, thanks
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-12#1712377 << if keypress latency is a problem, odds are your os is shit. i generally throw out boxes that do it ☝︎
mircea_popescu: all the foregoing text was knocked in morse!
a111: Logged on 2017-09-12 01:04 asciilifeform: why not carry the 'think more, type less' thing to logical conclusion.
asciilifeform: not a single one permitted RESTING the foot
asciilifeform: WITHOUT EXCEPTION all currently made input periphs are shite. especially, egregiously, the pedals -- i've thrown away 3 or 4 nao
asciilifeform: rather than naked 'how many buttons can i press per second'
kanzure: really the only purpose of high wpm that i have figured out is winning irc flame wars
asciilifeform: if you actually NEED 100s-of-wpm for something, as opposed to pissing contests in arena, dwelling on anything other than a bespoke (for YOUR hands) chorder, is lunacy. ☟︎
kanzure: for the 'lulz' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDusA21cEA
asciilifeform: ( minus the hover, wtf , why wouldja )
kanzure: his techique is sort of bizarre and probably caused by brain damage, where he types same words using different fingering each time, and also lots of hovering
kanzure: fastest gun in the west
kanzure: lateral movement isn't so bad, sean wrona does that all the time
asciilifeform: well a hypothetical 10-finger variant thereof, could
kanzure: the twiddler thing?
kanzure: asciilifeform: give me a system that can do better high-fidelity human data output than a 300 wpm keyboard please.
asciilifeform: ever see a post-1990s kbd that was in use for coupla yrs, the lettering wore off. this dun happen on proper keys.
asciilifeform: ( the item where the lettering NEVER wears out, because it is simply the inner layer of the key is black and protrudes just-so )
asciilifeform: even this is trickier than first appears
trinque: anyhow I'd accept the bespokenness of key labels as a start ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( not much reason to expect that it would cost substantially less than, e.g., bespoke bicycle costs. ) ☟︎
trinque: I'd pay a grand, why not. paid more than that for shittier items.
asciilifeform: trinque et al : i often wonder how many people would be prepared to pay what 'bespoke kbd' costs.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-12 17:47 asciilifeform: phf: the hard part is to actually get a hold of a 'model f'.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-12#1540430 << earlier thread re subj ☝︎
asciilifeform: i muchly prefer the 'f' -- no membrane dome anywhere inside of it, unlike 'm'
asciilifeform: ( don't be confused by the external resemblance to 'terminal model-m'. mechanics entirely different. no rivets, for one thing. )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661475 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: nothing beats modelf + the custom controller imho
trinque has keyboard remapped to hell, but would be nice to design the thing around the designated key functions.
asciilifeform: but -- noshit -- this dun scale.
asciilifeform: i solved this by doing the model-f thing.
kanzure: i would also like to register a complaint about lack of n-key rollover and also another complaint about keyboard keypress registration latency, thanks ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-09-12 00:53 asciilifeform: shinohai: the comp is a machine that MUST ADAPT TO THE MAN, rather than the man to the comp. which is why it is infuriating idiocy , when an op that is done 9000 time daily ( say parens ) lives behind a metakey, while microshitian idiocies like 'printscreen' get own key
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-12#1712365 << reflects poorly on the world in which we live that there isn't a bespoke keyboard-maker. ☝︎
asciilifeform: believe or not , i have one of even those , too
PeterL: or, to take that to extremes, modern man is just a consumer of social media, does not need to type anything, just poke touchscreen and moo
asciilifeform: why not carry the 'think more, type less' thing to logical conclusion. ☟︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: ready to have yer keyboard confiscated and replaced with telegraph key ?
PeterL: the other option is to think more, type less, and then it does not matter so much where any particular key is
asciilifeform: i do not tolerate this in my house, and cannot picture why anybody else does.
asciilifeform: shinohai: the comp is a machine that MUST ADAPT TO THE MAN, rather than the man to the comp. which is why it is infuriating idiocy , when an op that is done 9000 time daily ( say parens ) lives behind a metakey, while microshitian idiocies like 'printscreen' get own key ☟︎
asciilifeform: now that one i dun have.
PeterL: now I am wondering, what else does my keyboard have that I never use because I don't even notice it?
shinohai: I mean, it's just a few inches to the right - not a trip to Saturn.
PeterL: plus, it is waaaay over there, isn't it easier to just hit shift-8 ?
PeterL: somehow I didn't even think of that, I never use the numpad *!
a111: Logged on 2017-09-10 20:12 asciilifeform: we're talking about simple ops, i should not have to touch fucking shift key
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711925 << how do you type * without hitting the shift key? ☝︎

BingoBoingo: And they'll bring it to their relatives in northern states who will also use that shit indoors
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: what's the connection between acephate and black people?
BingoBoingo: Google's answer to "Is Acephate Toxic" >> "It is considered non-phytotoxic on many crop plants. Acephate and its primary metabolite, methamidophos, are toxic to Heliothis spp. that are considered resistant to other organophosphate insecticides. Acephate emits toxic fumes of various oxides of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur when heated to decomposition."
