ironically i posted the exact same quote before seeing your post. I've found that whatever work that can be counted as meaningful often also signifies a certain amount of agency that does not exist in a larger bureaucratic system.

That's interesting! I have been using MX for years now (on my third one in 10 years I believe) and there's nothing else that I like. Could you explain what was the issue with the ergonomics? To me it's much better with its gesture features and such. Did you mean it as in wrist pain or?

I recommend protoarc split keyboards is you like split and FLAT. They’re so easy to travel with and charges via usbc. The best one I’ve had and I’ve had a number of split keyboards!

I recommend protoarc’s keyboards. They are the flattest and lightest and yet still ergonomic I’ve ever had and chargeable by USBC. It’s so easy to bring it with me even with a laptop in the backpack.

All I an say in this section is I was most intrigued when I was travelling across Europe on a long and complicated business journey. Turkish airlines (if I recall right, maroon uniforms) had a sign language video for both Turkish sign language and international sign language. I felt so elated and welcome at that moment. I felt at home. Somebody cared for people like me. I have not come across anybody else who has done the same job.

So what I have to say, yes, the measure of the effort what pretty much sums to entertainment and pseudo-psychology, speaks to the consumer masses who are worried when they jump on a plane filled with other 150~ish strangers.

I find that there’s always an option in accessibility settings to reduce the overall fanciness or anything that I find jarring on iOS. Here I believe settings > accessibility > reduce motion will apply.

Nevertheless it’s nowhere near the powerful experience that was palm OS when it was selling palm pre and the like

Been looking to connect with other signing engineers deaf or not! Seems you are one and you know others as well! Would love to connect. Dm me at contact at signsnap.me

I use sign language myself everyday.

Sign language is way more than just gesturing. I did not see read that link from the above post, regardless, gestures are fundamentally a semiotic expression of meaning with the body rather than speech.

Like sounds, one can create a basic Piercian sign, and build onto that sign.

I believe that sign language has the unfortunate implication of being composed exclusively of gesturing. The word “sign” is confusing as well, especially when “sign” signifies (pun intended) a set of commonly understood meanings in linguistics. Body language, gestures, manual expressions all are just parts that come together and become more than the total of sum parts.

I see spoken and sign languages as two different tools that can do similar job with different features and weaknesses. Like python vs go vs JavaScript.

I would think the sense of seamless integration contributes to the experience. Almost all third party software systems have integrations and plugins that make crossing over between Google suite and these near painless.

Obviously this would be solved if we had a way to centralize our identity and file storage and such across platforms and systems. Yet at the moment the silo is what makes it seems painless and increases its value beyond the fact there’s a substitute to each platform and product.

I've been trying to find this as well.. i remember it was tan-beige-gray canvas with connections between these, you could add formulas and even code inside these and generate results and variables which you could use in subsequent cells...

That is for certain! Some of my best days are often just one large early dinner, and nothing all day except lot of fluids and sleeping on six or seven hours. There's something synergetic about not sleeping way too much and not eating that awakens the inner "animal" and keeps the mind alert.

not sure if they can do it but Mercury.com (online bank) allows for API access and wires that cost nothing. Might want to check out their APIs and see if you can do something like what you want to do abovee.

I suggest you mention the Sinclair Method to him. It has worked wonders for thousands who were addicted to alcohol. It is a cheap prescription that you take before drinking and over time people actually drink normally again since the brain is rearranged (the medicine takes away pleasure from the drinking). It might save his life or reduce his cravings.

I am not for any restrictions on any drug. That's puritanical, surely. However I am very much for BANNING all advertising from alcohol industry. Why do they need to market a drug that basically already sells itself via culture?
