This is really interesting to me. It could imply that an ugly theorem is less valuable. What if a theorem is ugly but useful vs a beautiful but esoteric one?
Then you should study Algorithms, where "the perfect answer is impossible, without simply trying all permutations, but this process gets you a close answer 99.9% of the time"
I designed my own for similar reasons, and it's interesting to see a somewhat similar position for the thumb keys. I optimised for hand/wrist position with minimal movement. However, I messed up the column stagger (off by one). Here's the writeup:
Interesting to see the thumb key positions are very similar to mine! Can you reach the outermost (outer regarding one half) thumb key without any issues?
Is your hand position like two columns for the middle finger instead of the pointer finger?
Yup, I can reach all three keys in each thumb cluster without a stretch. It's actually only a slight movement because my digits are quite long. My middle and ring fingers rest on the columns which are shifted up.
I stopped by the Mokuhankan shop when I was in the area last year. David Bull was carving a block on the left as I came in, so I didn't see him at first (my eyes were drawn to the prints, which are arranged into bins like records on the right).
I was wearing an old trade shirt which had a Kurzgesagt sort of look to it. When I bought a print to the till it was in his eyeshot and caught his interest, so he came over for a chat! He's such a nice guy. He asked me what I do, and the next thing I know we're talking about tech stuff, and how he builds his site and shop. A true renaissance man.
The general shape is the same as in these pictures for me, and it expands in the typical way and direction, but for me it's like shards of broken glass strobing various colours. When I first got migraines I didn't even realise I was seeing them. The first sign something was wrong was when I was watch the TV and suddenly it was hard to understand what the actors were saying. When I focussed, I realised that it was because I couldn't see their mouths!
Unfortunately, nearly two decades on, smaller weird visual artefacts are now just daily life and I seem to be very sensitive to glare (and I break into a cold sweat pretty often because that's how an aura looks when it starts). I only get a few migraines a year, but they seem to have rearranged the furniture in my brain a bit.
I'm the same here. I freak out every time I see a small dot of glare in my vision. Worse yet, I have floaters in my eyes, which often look like the start of a migraine since they obscure some of the vision — this is especially noticeable when reading text on a computer screen.
Yeah, I get that too. Fortunately the floaters are per eye, so I can eliminate them as a migraine thing using a sequence of winks. This looks in no way peculiar to people around me.
I used to be a regular in-person attendee here in Brighton pre-pandemic. My site is statically generated with some IndieWeb enhancements (webmentions in and out, micropub, posse, etc.) I mostly use it as a hidden log of my study sessions and for notes. A few times a year I'll write something longer form.
Do some rice in a rice cooker. When that’s done, slap a good helping of kimchi in a hot frying pan (no need for oil). Let it sizzle for about thirty seconds, then crack an egg in and muddle it up some. When it’s nearly done add the rice. Add a bit of sesame oil at the end if you feel fancy. Eat.
I got through a kilo of kimchi a week this way when I was a depressed 20-something living in a share-house abroad.
Doesn't need to be kimchi. The technique described can be used for pretty much any fried rice combo--best to let the rice dry out a bit but not necessary and that's not active time--which, given you have the ingredients (which could mostly be frozen) takes maybe 5 minutes.
I forget which of the cooking sites I got it from but the gist was that spreading out the rice on a baking sheet for a few hours was fine without fussing around with overnights in refrigerators. And, with a rice cooker, it's not a big deal to do the same thing a couple days later if you want to as opposed to saving your rice.
(Leftover fried rice microwaves pretty well too so it's a pretty good candidate for leftovers whether a full meal or a light lunch.)
Going since late 2015. I post long form (/blog) and short form (/notes), mostly on programming, maths, (bad) generative art experiments, notes as I learn Japanese, and of course about the blog itself since I spend more time on the custom static site generator than I do on writing actual posts.
I did a write up of how I use import maps to avoid bundling JS on my static site and cache modules more effectively. I mostly use JS for little experiments and generative art and such, so I have a number of utility modules. These get hashed and the names of each resolved in the import map. Original modules are kept for browsers without import map support (without the immutable cache header).
There are a few gotchas. The browser won't use the import map to result an entry point in a script tag for example. Content security policy is a painful one too for static sites like mine (the import map counts as a script, so you have to hash the map and put that in the CSP header).
