> I’d also rather do without an Fn key, as it messes up muscle memory from regular desktop keyboards.

As someone who recently switched to an Ortholinear layout, it's not nearly as bad as you think. I got messed up when switching back to a standard layout for the first maybe week or so. After that I can switch between either layout with absolutely no problem. While you may be different, you're probably underselling your own muscle memory.

> I won’t buy a keyboard without separate Delete and Backspace keys, without Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Insert keys, and without a dedicated Menu key [0], for any kind of serious work.

This probably depends on the work you do. I've found myself using those keys all more often and faster when I bind them to alpha keys with a modifier. As someone who types all day in VIM, I can bind Home/End/Pgup/PgDn/etc. to keys that have analogous functions (i/a/u/d respectively), which has been great for me.

I agree that the browser's built-in bookmarks manager is underrated. I never really got the social bookmarking phenomenon.

For your use case, however, I recommend also getting into Hypothesis. I always used browser-based bookmarks (and still do), but I've gotten a ton of utility out of Hypothesis since I began using it. It's weird, because I came at it slowly, having known about Hypothesis for a long time—my initial impression being, "yeah, okay, kind of neat or whatever", followed by not touching it for years.

The problem with browser-based bookmarks is that you're limited to the title* and URL for recall, plus your own tags. With Hypothesis, however, you can quote from the page in question, marking up specific passages, and then also add your own comments about it (plus tags). This is in fact really the only way that I use Hypothesis—when I feel like scribbling something in the margins. This, however, in a way ends up emerging as a replacement for much of my bookmarks-for-recall use, too, even though it's never really the point. Because the storage model includes the contents of the quoted passage and the text of your own annotation, this additionally grants you, in a limited way, the ability to do partial text search across the contents of the collected pages. As a result, I end up using Hypothesis far more often to relocate something than I do with the bookmarks manager nowadays.

It would be great if this functionality became standard for all browsers (and it might still; folks on the Chrome team have suggested they're serious about adding annotations to the browser in some form). With Mozilla deciding that selling premium plans to a commercial, closed-source SaaS is in their financial interest, however, it seems virtually guaranteed that Firefox's built-in bookmarks will remain deliberately limited for the lifetime of Firefox as a product, in order to funnel people towards Pocket, unless/until Chrome does something to make them feel pressured to change.

* NB: you can technically override the name, I guess, but I've never done that and always let it default to the title. Firefox used to have an additional description/comment field, but this got removed from the UI. I suspect it was rarely used. I can't say I did anything with it more than a handful of times. Hypothesis's UI for actually resolving (i.e. highlighting) the fuzzy anchors really does alter my behavior a lot towards this direction.

> nicknames cannot be used as tags since it doesn't support auto complete/filter by tag etc.

Well, Vivaldi does support autocompletion of nicknames. Just tried it with HN (save it as a bookmark and add hn as a nickname)
Sure, the heritage of Lisp Machines shows that well enough. Or a modern version: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano Not all GCs are equivalent, though.
> the modern popular vision of future is not worth living for.

The popular vision for the future is _exactly_ technocratic.

> I am a [...] futuristic optimist

Me too. But 50s era techno-fetishization is not the lever to achieve a better future.
I drop links into a markdown file by topic, along with a short description about what makes the link interesting to me. It's more work than creating a bookmark, but I don't end up with thousands of bookmarks without sufficient context.

If you export the markdown to HTML, for instance with a static site creator, it's very easy to open many links by just middle-clicking them, or search the context with the browser's search function.

Might not be what you're looking for, but it has worked out better for me down the years than having an ever growing collection of bookmarks with limited searchability and indication of relevance.
Right? Going big on user-centric bookmarks directly cuts into the big guys biz models. We need a new "underground."
I don't know, if they are including Eidos-Montreal and Crystal Dynamics, they could easily count 3 or 4 games, studios always working on multiple projects in different capacities, we know that Crystal Dynamics is working on a new Tomb Raider and there was a rumor that Eidos-Montreal is working in a new ip, and they will probably go back to Deus Ex after that.

Some of their studio could've done A/AA games in the past and now Embracer is giving them a bigger budget.
The fact you are still watching despite not knowing why is what keeps them going.
I wonder if this could replace most uses of NBD (network block devices), and/or help get iSCSI into userspace where more flexible load-balancing policy can be implemented.

It also reminds me of attempts to define BUSE[0][1][2], which would have been a block device equivalent of FUSE. IIRC attempts to get BUSE into the Linux kernel have been blocked for performance reasons -- the FUSE protocol isn't well designed and is only barely acceptable for VFS.

If io_uring (+ careful use of zero-copy) has fixed the performance issues with userspace block devices, maybe it would be applicable to FUSE (or FUSE-v2)? I've tried using io_uring with the current FUSE protocol to reduce syscall overhead and it kinda works, but a protocol designed to operate in that mode from the beginning would be even better.

There's a lot of criticism in the comments here, some of it feels very negative. I can imagine reading it as the OP is quite demoralising.

Personally I think what the OP has achieved is very impressive. The design looks beautiful, and there's a very "Apple-esque" feel to the website.
I love that sustainability has been made a requirement as part of the design.

I think some of the other comments give good feedback about the website, the most important of which is that some more photos with the entire keyboard in the context it's used (maybe sitting in front of an iMac) would be really to understand its actual size.

Well done though OP - I like this a lot.
Mainly following relevant accounts on Twitter.

This field is moving really fast right now, and so it's a little hard to keep track of all 'AI'. I'd recommend finding some researchers in the subfield of AI you're most interested in and following them on Twitter
100% agreed. I'd buy this if the price is right. The size and aesthetics are right up my alley. I currently use a 60% keyboard and really like it.
In an adjacent post, OP writes they were referencing quants and HFT. I would credit them with helping increase automation and increasing liquidity that allow for the extremely low expense ratios of index ETFs and target date funds. Investing used to be much more expensive and investments were less liquid.
A couple of first year animation students could make prettier graphics.
Agreed, although that is actually my own phrasing, so I'm probably to blame here :)
I don't have a cursor on the website. Is it just me? As soon as I click the link it simply goes invisible. I see some hover effects when I move around, though. Is this intended design as in "use your keyboard"? I mean I'd get the joke but it's a terrible idea ...
No, and it is such a foot-gun that building codes tend to prohibit it.

How much of a foot-gun?

The kind that kills people with carbon monoxide when they improvise a heating systems in cold weather. Not everyone all the time of course. But rather produces corpses at a statistically non-trivial rate.

Good luck.

I have a K2 as well. I set it in Windows/Android mode to use with my Linux box (Mac just changes the modifier keys afaict). The F-keys default to the FN row, not the F1-12. You can change that with a command I completely forgot and just copied once to a startup script.
Raindrop is good, but I had problems exporting my bookmarks. I clicked 'export' and the email with the download link didn't arrive. Contacted support and heard nothing back from them. Got the impression someone's asleep at the wheel after that, so I deleted my account.
This is bordering on parody. A government so beholden to the alcohol lobby that it is using your own tax dollars to feed you propaganda and make you spend your money to destroy your health. And all of it so that a handful of people can get wealthier.
That reminds me quite strongly of VirtIO (block) devices... and yet the actual command format is, of course, different. Why can't we stop re-inveting things over and over?

Collectors of classic cars is a footnote. Most of them are not daily drivers either. If our only use of fossil fuel was collectors global warming would be a problem. (without fossil fuel the early is slightly carbon negative, so you could even argue collectors are good as they keep us out of an ice age - though I'm not sure how carbon negative the earth is so I'm not sure that is actually true over 10,000 years or so)
You are correct! There was not enough space below the keys due to the device's low profile. So the right hand area houses the MCU, USB C port, battery, as well as the 2 slide switches and button that poke out the side of the case.

That’s more ethics than disgust. If you synthesised a dog/horse steak. I’d, try it. If you synthesised a bug, I still wouldn’t want it.
It's true though. You see something similar with the address bar: Chrome's is pretty horrible for accessing history or bookmarks, it instead tries to push you to do a search. Firefox has much richer information here.

Similar classes of machines have been build and used for simulations in industries for decades now.

In fact if you look through the historic top500 lists a lot of the space outside the top10 is occupied by industry clusters. Classically oil and gas has been one of the big consumers. In recent years there are more and more cloud clusters in there as well.

So this Tesla cluster isn't really anything unusual.
Really nice especially the moulded keys, but two eyesores, the logo and the whatever knob in the top right. You’re never going to be able to slip that into a bag with the knob sticking out. And nobody uses those. Well nobody that can pay $120 for a keyboard.

As for the logo, that’s a vanity thing. I know you’re very proud of making the product but if you put a stupid logo on front it kills the minimalist vibe and reduces the practical low key expensive style to just another “RBG in the next model haxxors”. It’s a keyboard, let it be a keyboard, with a simple model number, and add your brand logo to the back of the device. Let the product sell itself.

Uh-ho just looked again and saw it was made in the uk. never buying it
That was my first thought as well ... also I wouldn't call 15mm (excluding the rotary) a "low profile" USP for a keyboard in 2022 anyway. The generic wireless Logitech MX I am writing this on is thinner than that.
Probably not as bad as the mediocre advice you’ll get from yourself as an arrogant narcissist anyway.
I usually get asked, but I more and more desire just projects that are from scratch for 3-6 months alone or with 2-3 mates of mine. Those I find harder to find; the sites that say they offer projects like that really don’t; they mostly end up being huge tech debt pools built by different bad teams from the same site and too far in to offer a rewrite (well offer is ok, but they will say something like ‘maybe later, please finish this list first with the current code’).

A good site offering only that would be excellent but I guess hard to do.
Did he come up with this before or after Nim? Sounds a bit similar on the surface.
> the overpowering but unarticulated sense of not really having anywhere to 'go'

I live in a place like this and it's awful. All you can reach by foot is kilometers of insanely polluted 4-lane roads and and shopping malls. If you don't know someone with a large flat, nowhere is welcoming besides your own studio. How anybody can last here for more than a couple years is beyond me.
Lots of places in the Middle East were more European like this before the colonial influences weakened and the Muslim majority populations got back more power over their own countries. Egypt and Iran are similar. The nostalgia is somewhat uncomfortable because in some respects things were better because they were better, but in others it’s the perception of things being better because they’re more relatable to Europeans.
I like tree-style tabs, and I use it when working on projects, but I find that it is a long, long way from what it could be, which is probably a direct result of the lack of competition

the settings UI is absolutely awful;

depending on which appearance you choose, it either looks ugly or blurs together;

it frequently has visual glitches;

could certainly be more customisable appearance and shortcut-wise;

doesn’t allow you to have a title or marker as the top level tab;

as far as I can tell doesn’t let you save a session of tabs;

has an unpleasant glitch where if you drop a tab in the wrong place it’ll disappear behind the current window and never be reachable;

the new tab behaviour irritates me;

and probably a few more complaints that I’d have to actually open it up to remember

Incredible website - congrats on launching
For those using Pinboard, make sure you export your bookmarks regularly so you have a local copy. I have a strange feeling the service will go bust in a number of years. It's been in maintenance mode for a while and is coasting along, but remember, services on the net are largely ephemeral and Pinboard has had a good run. That's only my gut feeling though.
> Sure, the heritage of Lisp Machines shows that well enough.

Yes it does. You can use GC for an OS but you end with slow, expensive, and very niche machines.

But even if this is true (and I definitely believe there is merit to f2f interactions), it will come down to the labor market in every respective sector. Software engineers, for example, are in short demand, so if they prefer WFH, they will go to a company that offers that to them. Obviously not every job is appropriate for WFH, [insert YMMV disclaimer here]
Liusha from Nimbus here.

>I'd love to look again once virtual MFA or hardware MFA is supported.

MFA is not far. We have already started to work on MFA across our solution. I will ping you as soon as we have it ready for you.

Actually your use case is also something we are really interested in. Engineers who work on contracts or work at IT consultant companies switch between different environments way more frequently than other use cases. I wonder how you mitigate that problem today?

> The cloud env worked well, although I noticed the latency.

About latency, can I ask what your geolocation is? (country?) and which region did you select from Nimbus?

> I'd want fast VM start times

We have provided a `active hours` feature (not available for trial user). You can have your server start/stop at a given time of the day. During that time range your server will always be active. only takes about 10-15 seconds to connect.
He refers to Vim9 script in the comment about the lack of work on it on the top of the page, so apparently it saw work fairly recently. To my surprise, I thought it was long dead.

I still can't get past the unpaired } as the ending delimiter. It's a superficial reason, but there are many languages out there, and it's easy to be picky.

I wonder if the capitalization is required. What modern programming language would require capitalization? I use it in SQL and that makes sense given that SQL is often embedded in other programming language via strings and so the capitalization helps because there are there's no syntax highlighting. But otherwise I don't see the point of it.
I like it being low-profile. That's why I didn't buy ErgoDox.

So all the best wishes to the author.

But there are some tradeoffs why I probably not buy it.

1) I'd suggest a column of home/page up/page down/end (top to bottom in this order) on the right side, like some laptop makers do. They're very convenient. That's absolutely necessary for text editing or navigating in various windows. (Sure one can use combos, but then you must stick to the keyboard all the time.) Del/backspace probably also should be different keys.

2) Missing menu key also requires you to take mouse sometimes. Laptops can get away with touchpad. But with the minimal keyboard, that requires user to hold it more and use combos, you must leave the keyboard and take a mouse to open a context menu.

A general philosophical question (not a negative comment to this particular keyboard): do we really still need key rows to be shifted 1/4 of width, because keys needed arms underneath in the late 19th century?

I love the idea and design, but I hate the placement of the Control and Function keys.

I guess it is nice for the people used to the Mac keyboard layout, but it is really not for me.

Did you consider an option for a more ”traditional“ layout?
I guess it’s intended to be “iconic”, but, well, being iconic often also means increasing the ratio of people who actively dislike it.

As a CPA looking for an entry-level job as a software developer, it has been disheartening to see hiring managers brush aside my accounting knowledge and experience as next to worthless. I think the theory behind double-entry accounting is super interesting and a base-level knowledge would be helpful for many developers. Particularly those working at a small startup that have to wear the accounting/financial hat. The sooner you use double-entry accounting, the better your life will be in the future. Double-entry is an incredibly old system that's battle-tested, so it's remarkable to see some people still opposed to it today.

It's reassuring to see so many comments here expressing positive sentiment around the topic!
C-suite folks and "idea gurus" don't use the same success metrics as engineers (and to a lesser extent, designers) do. Sheer charisma, being able to pitch some hair-brained idea over drinks, political machination, and notoriety are their metrics with rare exceptions which leads to classic study cases such as this.

They're far more like politicians in that sense if I can be cheeky.
