I went to https://www.keyboardco.com/ and searched for left-handed and the keyboard in the photo popped up, as well as a bunch of weirder and wonderfuler ones.
Thank you for the comment. I would not have understood "can be navigated using mouse" to mean "dragging".
Also I hate that I can't select text on this. Probably because "dragging".
Re:Debugging a Golang Bug with Non-Blocking Reads
on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @05:11PM (#39685001)
I seem to remember non-blocking io with named pipes was unreliable, in the sense that the test suite of whatever-it-was (memory is reeealy sketchy, this was tens of years ago) would fail randomly often enough that we had to throw the easy solution away and do actual networking.
A bit like the .signature named pipe from fortune thing, where sometimes you got two signatures and sometimes none? Anybody remember that?

Step 1, create a named pipe, and open it in non-blocking mode.
...
Unless things have changed a lot in this domain in the last few years, that won't work reliably _anywhere_.

From the looks of it that's been generated by `circo`, which is part of GraphViz and describes itself as a “filter for circular layout of graphs” and
circo draws graphs using a circular layout (see Six and Tollis, GD '99
and ALENEX '99, and Kaufmann and Wiese, GD '02.) The tool identifies
biconnected components and draws the nodes of the component on a cir‐
cle. The block‐cutpoint tree is then laid out using a recursive radial
algorithm. Edge crossings within a circle are minimized by placing as
many edges on the circle's perimeter as possible. In particular, if
the component is outerplanar, the component will have a planar layout.
If a node belongs to multiple non‐trivial biconnected components, the
layout puts the node in one of them. By default, this is the first non‐
trivial component found in the search from the root component.

Re:Why are tech companies making custom typefaces?
on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @01:14PM (#18544941)
I assume it's to underline the "smaller" argument. Working at Canonical, none of the other companies on that list is "small". I think AirBnB is the smallest that isn't us, and it's got over a thousand.
I don't know how big it was when it made the font though.

I'd argue that startup time is very low on the list of things you want from your development system. Sure, quicker startup time is better, so improve it if you can, but you being productive in it once it's up is a lot more important, for example.

It's not because COBOL was good that things written in it lasted; it's because it was there. The things written in it made COBOL last, not vice-versa.
