There has to be evidence of their process for me to accept it as evidence of understanding/ability. I have made it clear to them that this is necessary. Their job is to convince me that they know what they’re doing. (But… I’m teaching HS Mathematics). So … I’d mark it wrong/incomplete. I’m also working on student understanding of consequences of their actions, so wouldn’t give them another opportunity on that exam. They would need to improve things on the next exam.
I have been using home row mods for about 6 months now, and followed this page to tweak timings. I adjusted pretty quickly, and while will still sometimes end up with incorrect inputs, my typing has become crisper (to avoid unwanted mods). I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I really like using my middle fingers for shift.

Hi, if you identify as on the spectrum, neurodiverse, ASD, ADHD - I would be curious if your family is multicultural, and if you or a relative has moved to a foreign country or lives in a foreign country. For example, I have grandparents on both parents side who moved abroad. I moved abroad myself as an adult, and have a sibling...
Yeah, this resonates. It would make for interesting research, to get away from our self-selecting anecdotal evidence. I have my own suspicion that major family issues also encourage people to move abroad, and that this can become intergenerational…
This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you’re living in.
While looking for my first ergo mech keyboard, I wanted something small with choc switches (and spacing), splay and wireless support. The Hillside 46 looked really nice but I wanted to make some changes to it including support for the nice!view, a large battery and the cirque trackpad. That prompted creating a fork of the...
Thank you so much for sharing all that! I’ve been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I’m really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.
Can you share the files for your case? I’m wanting to make the same (Hillside 40, no?), but can only find files for a 46, and am hoping to avoid the learning curve needed for 3d modeling. Thanks.
So, after some playing around trying to figure out a preferred physical layout, I decided a Hillside 46 splayed keyboard would be about right. Thanks to Leo at Beekeeb for answering all my questions before ordering and during the build! Surface mount soldering was tricky, but everything works on the first try! I finally can use...
Haha. I had a stock set of keycaps, which didn’t have great options for my layout. I’ve mostly got the thumb clusters mirrored, with space(the right arrows), enter(enter/heart) and tabs on both sides (and backspace and delete mirrored). Left cluster has ESC, with right cluster having a Function layer switch on hold(the F key). I’ve got layer switch on hold for several of those thumb keys as well. The vertical thumbkey is not the easiest, which is why I put the tab keys there as I don’t use them that often. When I clean my keymaps up I’ll share an image. I feel the thumb clusters are larger than ideal for me. The board is setup to allow for Rotary encoders in those vertical thumb positions, and if I can find a suitable low profile knob I may end up swapping for a couple.
Ha! I rarely use them. I also forgot a layer for them until I was reviewing what I had. I also used a minus keycode without the underscore on shift…and editing my keymaps became a bit rough. Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to need the duplication, and my right and left thumbs have different resting positions, so I’ll probably change things up as I’m finding I only use my right thumb for space and enter.
Haha. I might have to move my command/alt/shift/ctrl keys down to the thumb clusters. I mostly like the miryoku layout with them on the home row, but sloppy rolls with A-T or S-T combinations (CMD-T) keep opening new tabs, and I’m getting grumpy. No violence yet. Maybe I can fix that by increasing the time before the hold activates.
And thanks to Suraj Kurapati’s own issues and config modifications (sunaku.github.io/home-row-mods.html) along with a lighter touch in my typing, typing is much cleaner now for me, with only very rare mods being inadvertently triggered. Very happy with how things are going. Now for a wireless version.

A good friend of mine did a pre-university trip to NZ back in …1989?..(from Canada) and brought that back on vinyl. Love the song. Was that put out on Tuatara records?
Hi, can you help me with a math problem kbin? It's algebra, and it's been a long time since I've had to do it. Can you explain to me how simplifying the terms comes out to 9/2 in the pictured equation please?
Whoever solved that problem liked using improper fractions. Whatever works for you is fine. I prefer thinking in decimals for halves, which works out easily for this problem.
A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils. But my understanding, based on blind people I’ve met, is that the problem is usually in the lens or the retina, and that they have pupils the same as everyone else. Are there actually blind people out there whose eyes...

Huh. I thought I had linked to a generic recipe. Here’s what I used. The herbs are important for its distinct flavour. Also, I tend not to specifically measure my veg or herbs:
Eggplants (roasted, with the flesh scooped out. This I find unique as it’s the only place I’ve ever cooked a veg before pickling.) cauliflower carrots tarragon dill parsley mint savory garlic chili peppers Nigella seeds turmeric 2% salt and ferment about a week or so.
