| cmaloney | I swear ES6 fixes most of the things that irritate me about JavaScript | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Evening | 01:34 |
| jrwren | yup, es6 is nice | 01:42 |
| cmaloney | morning | 11:45 |
| brousch__ | yessir | 11:53 |
| cmaloney | how goes? | 12:03 |
| brousch__ | Plodding along | 12:30 |
| cmaloney | whee | 12:32 |
| jrwren | hahahaha, look at hte placement of the 6, and then wonder WTF... http://www.peterbristol.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Microsoft-Sculpt-Keyboard-Peter-Bristol-1.jpg | 13:08 |
| cmaloney | Totes designed for touch typing | 13:09 |
| cmaloney | if you're a pianist | 13:09 |
| jrwren | lol | 13:10 |
| jrwren | it astounds me that visual design trumps usability to that degree. | 13:11 |
| jrwren | or... I overestimate teh value people put into touch typing. | 13:11 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: come on, most typing is done on a flat glass screen with autocorrect anyway | 13:11 |
| rick_h_ | an you can't touch type numbers, everyone knows that. If you cared about that you'd have a usb keypad | 13:12 |
| jrwren | oh rick_h_ I thought you were serious for a good 1.5s there and was SHOCKED at what I was reading. Consider using a sarcams smiley :) | 13:13 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: :P I was saving it | 13:13 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: there was some honesty at the start, my wife uses her phone for nearly all computing other than her medical charts these days | 13:14 |
| jrwren | good one! it did help your cause. | 13:14 |
| rick_h_ | it's amazing to me | 13:14 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: that is why I was SHOCKED at first, because there IS truth to what you are saying. | 13:14 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: and the comment is also rooted in my wish that they made thigs like the Palm Pre still because I'd love to have a keyboard again even though the world has spoken | 13:15 |
| jrwren | didn't blackberry recently make an android with a physical kb? | 13:15 |
| jrwren | err... not recently in phone world, but about 2yrs ago? | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | but then you'd be stuck with that as your phone | 13:16 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: I'm surprised you aren't into those swiping based keyboards. | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: meh, I was for a while | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | but I found that after a lot of use they actually get worse at word guessing | 13:16 |
| jrwren | ugh. | 13:16 |
| jrwren | machine learning FTW! :p | 13:16 |
| rick_h_ | yea, something like that... | 13:17 |
| rick_h_ | so I was working on trying to wipe the profile after a while and such | 13:17 |
| rick_h_ | I ended up gonig back to just typing | 13:17 |
| cmaloney | I swipe more than type | 13:17 |
| cmaloney | but I did pick up a bluetooth keyboard for the tablet | 13:17 |
| cmaloney | It's a cheap Logitech keyboard: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/multi-device-keyboard-k380 | 13:18 |
| cmaloney | in grey | 13:18 |
| cmaloney | Sorry, "black" | 13:18 |
| cmaloney | It's surprisingly good | 13:19 |
| rick_h_ | cool, yea I <3 bt keyboards on tablets when I used mine a lot | 13:19 |
| cmaloney | Much better than the one with the trough in it that feels like a toy | 13:19 |
| jrwren | someone did character sketches of each presenter and used them as the stills for each video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbKtpLHjG1I&feature=youtu.be&list=PLQ8PmP_dnN7L5OVT95uXJAE78qcGCcDVm&ab_channel=hupstream | 13:19 |
| rick_h_ | hah that's awesome | 13:19 |
| cmaloney | Very cool | 13:20 |
| jrwren | you can scroll them here: https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2016/all-the-videos/ | 13:21 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, I just subscribed to this channel | 13:22 |
| cmaloney | (which means I'll see a nice number next to it in a list for the rest of time) | 13:23 |
| brousch__ | Best tablet keyboard I've used https://store.google.com/product/pixel_c | 14:56 |
| shakes808 | brousch__: how do you like the tablet itself? | 15:03 |
| brousch__ | It's nice. I prefer 8", but it's still nice. The magnet connectors for keyboard are nifty | 15:07 |
| shakes808 | is it like the surface? | 15:32 |
| greg-g | re that horrible keyboard from this morning: and it has a physical switch for the Fn/special keys? that's real annoying | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | I hate that trend | 16:15 |
| cmaloney | The whole "use FN to et function keys" trend | 16:17 |
| jrwren | i'm actually fine with it. | 16:19 |
| cmaloney | Get. Out | 16:19 |
| jrwren | My razer has the equiv. you hold down the FN key and it toggles the lock. | 16:19 |
| jrwren | hey... at least you can toggle it easily, unlike anything APPLE where its not F1-12 by default and to toggle it you have to launch settings app | 16:19 |
| jrwren | what would you rather? media keys? | 16:20 |
| cmaloney | This keyboard Ihave doesn't toggle | 16:20 |
| jrwren | ok? | 16:20 |
| cmaloney | The media keys are mostly useless for me | 16:20 |
| cmaloney | But I can see why people want them | 16:21 |
| greg-g | jrwren: wait, really? I haven't had a recent apple, you need to launch an app to get usuable Fn keys? On Carrie's oooold white macbook it had a "Fn" key next to ctrl | 16:22 |
| jrwren | i use play and volume control. Love those. | 16:22 |
| jrwren | but I love them as alt Fn keys | 16:22 |
| jrwren | not as dedicated media keys | 16:22 |
| greg-g | actually, that's the nice part of my thinkpad x230: the separate mute/up/down volume controls above the Fn keys. So useful in low-light situations | 18:45 |
