That is classified as an edge use-case. Realistically speaking I don't think the point of this hastily whipped up demo was to be a replacement for google sheets.

I too, am heavily invested in my keyboard shortcuts. Goku + Karabiner gives me the luxury of toggling between apps and doing repetitive actions without moving my hands away from home row. I really want to switch but this missing feature is a dealbreaker for me.
Re:Parable of the Sofa on Sunday June 02, 2024 @12:06PM (#40555182)
Most of today's world furniture comes from -----. Most of the problems in the furniture market today deal with a trend that middle class try to imitate the rich interior design look and feel. The uneducated consumer is surrounded by a market ----- created demand for which is furniture knockoffs of fashion furniture brands that you see in Interior Design Magazines.

The furniture is built with poor materials, and dangerous chemicals treating finishes and frame construction. Almost all faux finishes (veneer, marble, concrete, leather, stone etc...) is made with really bad ingredients to give it the overall look and feel to the real texture they are trying to imitate.

The fashion brand furniture keeps evolving as a fashion brand should even when it comes to furniture. Therefore, furniture is a trend market, where people can afford it. Where people can not afford it, they fill their space with the knockoff furniture, realize it is not good quality, accumulate enough money to repeat the cycle with another poorly manufactured replacement. This is what is driving most of the demand today to keep churning out low price-point furniture for the newly emerging middle working class of today's world that do not understand what really goes on behind the scenes of how their furniture gets made, or maybe they don't care.

The other furniture market is for people who, as others commented, leave furniture pieces to their children. Those groups do not care about fashion, as with people that just need clothes to walk around not caring about the brand that they are advertising.

There is still good affordable furniture out there. Hand-built with care and precision as a Rolls-Royce car would be in the factory, mostly small companies in Italy and other parts of the world still to this day make great long-lasting pieces. The locality of the furniture manufacturer matters on the price significantly. Shipping logistics for furniture is a nightmare.

How do you keep track of phony answers to security questions if they are different for each site? If it is the same phony answer for every site, it is not any safer to use real answers to the security questions.

Re:Tether Fined $41M for Lying About Reserves on Friday October 15, 2021 @11:14PM (#28885252)
For the past 3-4 years, this has happened time and time again whenever tether is in the news in bad light. It's beginning to sound like a broken record at this point "this event is finally going to do tether in!" Nothing will happen like it did before, cryptocurrency doesn't operate the same way international law expects it to abide by. It's all rigged.

Re:Kinto: Mac-style shortcut keys for Linux and Windows on Friday March 12, 2021 @09:46PM (#26443441)
I can type 100+ wpm reliably with touch cursor. AHK is not recommended for space bar dual role functionality for the reasons you mentioned.
Re:Kinto: Mac-style shortcut keys for Linux and Windows on Friday March 12, 2021 @02:06AM (#26432953)
Capslock is dual-role for me, tap for Enter, hold for acting like a custom modifier. Shift is tap for escape, hold for normal shift, tilde is backspace, my pinky gets busy. The best Ctrl replacement is spacebar, the only windows program that does it flawlessy is touchcursor

Re:JavaScript for Impatient Programmers on Wednesday July 01, 2020 @12:37PM (#23703407)
Having read many programming books, I find at a professional level, you just want to get straight to the juicy stuff with real life examples. For that, Goal kicker is hands down my go to for that. While you're at it, also download the NodeJS ebook from there too. They're free.

Amazon is is doing with sponsored listings the same thing that Google did with its organic search results. "Oh your site is not the top 3 in search results for this keyword? You have a chance to stand out if you buy these ads." The shady difference here between the two is that Google did not try to show results from their own company, Amazon is.

hard to get around not using the mouse eventually when looking up docs or copy pasting from browser
I already do that without the need of a touch pad, just use your numpad keys as a mouse if you're on windows look into mouse.ahk. Tobii will snap mouse to where you're looking at and senses mouse is moving. Works great when you want to stay on home row, selecting text with it though, not as good.

Honestly it is the same form of reporting similar to how all the "trading experts" go on MSNBC and tell everyone the market is going to be fine to prevent panic selling. In this case they do advise it to prevent people from hoarding all the masks so there will be some left for the medical professionals who need them more.

I have been working with svelte for quite some time now, and honestly I can not think of a time where it did not make sense to use it. At its most basic form, its compiles down to vanilla javascript with a small footprint and offers a tidy workspace when working with html/css/es6.
