Stop narcing on them on the internet, friend.

the best case scenario for means testing is always perverse incentives like this. Just give it away, man. K-16, ezpz. If you want to find efficiencies go after the sub provost to the assistant registrar for the vice dean; bureaucracies have ballooned inside of colleges compared to instructor salaries.

I strongly recommend. The audiobook is good too!

too many of us work for companies willing to support this. We workers could put pressure on our employers not to. In fact, maybe we have to.

I'm on a 56 key split right now but I used to use a 48, which had only F2 (of all the F keys) on any layer because it's used for jumping in Sublime Text or Atom or something. Layers vs dedicated keys becomes a matter of preference over chording vs hand movement; some people prefer one to the other.

QMK has been the most joyful open source thing I've ever used. Typing on my second split keyboard with weird chording right now. I've seen a spike in rotary encoder support lately (on the Planck and an upcoming new version of Keebio's Iris-the old version of which I'm using now) so keep an eye out for that if you're into fun extra input methods on your keyboard. I'm looking forward to having etch-a-sketch style arrows, personally.

> And some studies include the elderly which lowers measured progress because the elderly are an increasing share of the population and they are less likely to be working full-time if at all

Should probably just burn them for fuel, right?

> And many of the most pessimistic studies about the fate of the American middle class ignore the fall in marriage and the increase in divorce since the 1970s and the effects that demographic change has had on the way we measure changes in household income

The right wing culture warrior says that if people got and stayed married they'd be better off. The left wing materialist says that if people were better off they'd be getting married more and staying together longer. Which is more likely: every young person got brain worms at the same time that made them want to not do monogamy/family things, or the stratum of society that has always tried to capture as much of its productivity as possible has made gains in its project?

As to the rest of it: I don't particularly care if the same exact individuals have effected a greater capture of the economic output of this country, I do care that as a whole the top Xtile captures a larger slice. That does, in fact, matter materially to me even though I'm imminently comfortable. I'll leave it to the real stats nerds to punch holes in the math.

The nerve of humans deigning to follow their only drives: survive and replace themselves. Disgusting. A 1.2 billion year unbroken line of sexual reproduction should be enough for anyone.

This remains my favorite software ever written. It's so simple but you can do so much with it. You can end up "rediscovering" bezier curves, ellipses, and parabolas as loci of various forms. It's really something else. Well worth a couple bucks a year for my license.
