​@Xah Lee 1 minute.

Xah Lee
​elisp, keyboard, stuff

Xah Lee
​hello bart

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee You said last time, you switched to Silent Red, because of Ergonomy, etc. Why are soft keys so much better for ergonomy? Less muscle usage?

Xah Lee
​yeah

Cortez Phenix
​Good afternoon!

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I want to buy Kailh Box Navy switches. They are super heavy. Do you recommend against it?

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I think if I would type on 45g, I would constantly mistype, because of accidental triggering of the keys. 😅

mole
​hello everyone - jole

PixelOutlaw
​@Xah Lee Do you think it's possible to make a small diagram drag n drop flowchart maker with emacs' svg library and mouse click operations?

PixelOutlaw
​Just say a little diagramming tool.

PixelOutlaw
​Yes, generating and viewing inside. Just like you would make a flowchart to document a process.

PixelOutlaw
​You can in emacs but it must be compiled to display svg.

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee You're alive.

BartholomewJS
​Converting SVG to PNG. That's flat earth level genius.

PixelOutlaw
​Probably some libcairo stuff.

Kapustin Alexander
​maybe you need compile emacs with svg support

PixelOutlaw
​Yes, your understanding is correct. Looks like a show stopper with the resolution. :(

Meet Patel
​hey Xah, is there any particular reason you swapped from Mac -> Windows? (havent been here in a while)

NotNot Jake
​Hi! Been watching your videos -- first time I've caught the live. from US east coast

PixelOutlaw
​It makes sense, RGB triplets are just a 3D vector. :)

Kapustin Alexander
​This is more obvious to use file discriptor for something like this ...

Giuliano Franco Palazzi
​@Xah lee have u used ur gergo recently? have u changed the layout

NotNot Jake
​would also like to hear about gergo. just ordered a kit to build

PixelOutlaw
​I've seen images embedded into Dr. Racket source code. It seems to work OK.

PixelOutlaw
​This is handy when you're writing an algorithm where you need to label points and such.

Meet Patel
​Julia's Pluto.jl notebooks are really fantastic

Kapustin Alexander
​this is a crap to store file in source code...

Akira KAKINOHANA

Kapustin Alexander

Kapustin Alexander

BartholomewJS

​are the low profile keys a problem for hand health?

Giuliano Franco Palazzi
​I sent a link to an article on your previous video showing some interesting concepts with a 34 key but I think the comment got deleted

Giuliano Franco Palazzi
​I'm also trying to figure out how to use my 40% with the Pinyin input method since I am learning Chinese

kajahtaa
​Boardsource has other chocs

BartholomewJS
​If you are such a low-g extremist, you might as well go for something like MX Speed Silver. @Xah Lee

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Thank you. See you next scream.

kajahtaa
​I guess 20gram choc springs are sold out

BartholomewJS
​This reminds me of public terminals that had metal trackballs in the middle of they metal keyboard. Good old times.

BartholomewJS
​Touchscreens most of the time suck.

Giuliano Franco Palazzi
