    What, you expected me to actually look at the picture before posting it?

    I wouldn't have noticed, except you called out ENTER, and I wondered what happened to the \ key, because I really need that key (which is also the | key), and I don't understand why people want a giant ENTER unless it's for nostalgia, but I don't think you're that old so BDGI.

    Almost every keyboard I ever owned had a big ENTER. I'm used to it being a big target and just flailing in it's general direction. Force of habit mostly, I guess.

    \ / | is just above the right Shift. Never found it being a problem to use.

    What I don't get is people complaining about left Shift being smaller due to < / > key being there. I understand that you might want a bigger Shift, but if you get the large one you completely lose one key, as opposed to \ just moving down one row. Those people never had to deal with HTML / XML on a daily basis.

    i'm guessing BDGI

    EDIT: parse fail! that was TOTALLY a valid html title choice.

    I had @mentioned @boomzilla in the original title text and it rendered weird.

    Or you could just make the left Shift bigger, the right shift smaller, and put < / > next to the right Shift instead. I mean, that right Shift is huge.

    Edit: My rough estimates put both Shift keys at about the same size under this solution.

    If that's where you're used to it being, sure. But it's always been above ENTER for me.

    OTOH, your "big" ENTER is narrower than a typical ENTER on a US keyboard. So I'm used to it being a big target in its row and you're used to it being a big target along the side.

    None of that stuff translates to people used to US keyboards.

    That would mean @boomzilla started to refer to himself in third person. So he either got it from you, or being a mod has gotten to his head.

    Whatever, just let me have my key!

    Pretty sure I saw the same thing on US layout keyboards. Then again, I have to suffer through this QWERTZ nonsense so...

    well.... I only do it occasionally, or when referring to myself as separate from myself makes sense; like when i'm dropping the persona (or assuming a new one) for a post to make a point...

    but mostly @accalia refers to me in the third person when she thinks it would be funny to. Unfortunately my sense of what is funny and what isn't does not map cleanly to conventional standards.

    Edit: I really should have tried harder to work the pronoun I into that last paragraph. I could probably wedge it in there but i think it's tortured enough as it is.



  • I wouldn't have a problem if the extra keys crowded Right Shift as I never ever use Right Shift. I'd have a heck of a time with a small Left Shift though, judging from the wear marks it seems my pinky likes to hit it on the very rightmost edge.

    It was a play on JDGI.

    This is what I'm used to in that region of the keyboard:

    Oh, also, I've never seen "Alt Gr" on a keyboard in the US, nor heard an American refer to the right Alt as "Alt Gr" except when talking to non-Americans. IME, only pinball games use a left or right control type keys differently from their counterparts on the other side.


  • FoxDev

    they're never bound that way by default but there are a few games that i map actions to the bucky bits that differ on left vs right keys

    but that's just me doing the mapping because it works better for me that way.



  • We used to have a couple of those in the office, on our lab/testing systems. I could generally type just fine as long as I didn't look at the keyboard, if I looked down my fingers would stumple and parts of my brain would seize up. The layout didn't match the keys the OS detected. Looked like QWERTZ, but acted like QWERTY.

    Someone finally went around and threw them away.

    @boomzilla said:

    Yeah, I know those keyboards. As a matter of personal preference, I still go for the big Enter. And I actually use the US layout unless I really need to use Croatian diacritics. Programming on that layout is a major pain.

    From what I read somewhere, right Alt and Alt Gr (alternate graphics? graphemes?) are actually completely different beasts, with the latter one being a major pain, apparently.

    Didn't work, and yes, I tried it.

    Clearly it should have been sort_by_year';DROP_TABLE_YEARS;--p1.json?
    Thanks Dicsourse, for correcting a RANDOM SET OF UNDERLINES to italics.... how can it not do either ALL OR NONE... but ONE random set? WTF.

    There. Dicsourse is just so fscking terrible.

    I submit that your Enter is "tall" and mine is "fat." They seem to have similar areas.

    Yeah, my understanding is that it's commonly used like some sort of compose key or something. I'd check my uses-a-written-language-without-extra-letter-squiggles privilege, but that's not a thing I do.

    My experience is similar, except I don't use laptop's much, so I get Backspace instead of Delete


  • :belt_onion:

    Ugh...I think GIS gave me an apple thing. Didn't notice that, but, yeah, I always have Backspace there.

    The red characters in that image I posted are accessed by using Alt Gr. As you can see, brackets are loads of fun!

    Also, I encountered software that considered it as a regular Alt (I think it was Game Maker [shut up, I was learning shit!]) that had shit bound to Alt + B...

    I used to prefer the tall & fat enter key, but now either one is fine. Although I do still occasionally key a \ while trying to hit the enter key.



  • Didn't work either. I hope they're not watching the logs 😟


  • :belt_onion:

    dang.

    Though with a page naming scheme THAT poor, there's zero chance it's actually dynamically doing anything. Guaranteed that it's just a bunch of static pages with the same SQL copy-pasta in each, except with a different ORDER BY and LIMIT / TOP / START clause.

    edit - I also bet that when the amount of pages to return tops the number of hardwired static results pages they have, someone has to call them up and ask for them to add more.



  • Pretty sure that's a dumb Enter

    At the time they were the only manufacturer of no-frills wireless mechanical keyboards with Cherry Brown (read: safe for office eardrums) switches.

    Lots of others do now. I have a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid, and IIRC you can get that with all four regular Cherry types. Ducky keyboards do that too.

    I find it harder to hit than what I consider the normal place, which is what would be the top half of the enter key in that picture.


  • I survived the hour long Uno hand

    Speaking of URIs, I found this gem. This isn't anonymized in the slightest.

    	<cffunction name="findViewByPath" access="private" returnType="struct">
    		<cfargument name="requestedPath" type="string" required="true">
    		<cfscript>
    			
    			var s = arguments.requestedPath;
    			var m = false;
    			var c = 50;
    			var retStruct = {};
    
    			while (m EQ false) {
    				if(structKeyExists(variables.views, s)){
    					m = true;
    				} else {
    					s = replace(s, listLast(s, '/') & '/', '');
    				};
    				c -= 1;
    				if(c LTE 1 OR s EQ '') break;
    			};
    			
    			retStruct.hasMatch = m;
    			retStruct.view = s;
    			retStruct.metaData = '';
    			if(s NEQ '') retStruct.metaData = replace(arguments.requestedPath, s, '');
    
    			return retStruct;
    		</cfscript> 
    	</cffunction>
    

    Our js guys think this pattern is awesome. We're probably moving from CF to Node.js so they can write more awesome code like this. Isn't it awesome?!
