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.

One up for a6000! Definitely taught me the same things you mentioned. A great entry level camera.


What do you mean “visual debugger?”


In vscode when you step to the next statement it highlights in the left pane the variables that change. Something like that.

It's useful for a beginner e.g in a for loop to see how `i` changes at the end of the loop. And similarly with return values of functions and so on.


the intellij debugger, for example, as opposed to a command line debugger


Presumably an IDE rather then dealing the gdb CLI.


I think it depends on the debugger and the language semantics as well. Debugging in Swift/Kotlin, so so. The Smalltalk debugger was one of the best learning tools I ever used. “Our killer app is our debugger” doesn’t win your language mad props though.


I don't often need gdb, but I appreciate the emacs mode that wraps it every time.


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.
