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.

Transcendental, even.

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.

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.

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.

Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.

I see. Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out.

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.

And thanks to Suraj Kurapati’s own issues and config modifications (https://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.

Now that I’m used to my hillside, I’m starting to think about a wireless option, and this one is at the top of my list. It looks good!

That’s another tab key for now.

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.

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 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.

Wow! It has been a long time since I listened to this. Also, don’t forget the classic “Coelacanth”.

I should reread that. I once had and read the first 2 volumes, but never finished the series. It is time.

I went from Keep to Joplin and eventually to Obsidian.

Hmmm…must have been Flying Nun.

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?
