My experience with an Atreus was quite different. The hand positions were comfortable with the tilted, split sides of the keyboard. Using my thumbs for both Space and Enter was also nice. I especially liked the straight, vertical columns of the keyboard. They made touch typing much easier and faster than on a regular keyboard with offset rows. Overall, the Atreus was beneficial to my typing speed and also to my wrists, elbows, and back, since it helped align my body in a more natural typing position. What aspect of the Atreus keyboard do you feel renders it a white elephant?

I currently use Sublime Text 3, but I used to use Vim and NeoVim. One complaint I have with Sublime Text 3 is that many of the keybindings are "chords," and I seem to be developing pains in my wrists and elbows from frequently typing the more awkward ones. I've heard Emacs uses similar, chorded keybindings, only to the extreme. I think the problem with ST3 is that many of the chords are awkward to type. How is Emacs? Are the chords more natural, or would I be facing similar issues with chording?

For me, I have a hard time starting mundane tasks that I think are going to run for days or weeks. It's hard enough for me to muster up enough motivation to start today. The prospect of having to do that day after day or month after month is depressing. I've found this is much less an issue it teams that do Kanban or Scrum well.

Why are you arguing against PEP8? As you mentioned in your final sentence, the Python community DOES have an established standard. It is called PEP8. The parent has made a valid point. Why would you criticize or trash his "karma" for stating it?

Part of the reason they tear down old houses is that termites infest the wood and foundations, making it cheaper to raze the home that try to fix it. Black mold is also a big problem in many of the older homes. Newer homes are built with better materials and circulate air better, which helps with the mold issue, so we may see more remodeling done in the future.

Another issue is zoning. Some houses were built when zoning laws were more lax. It isn't uncommon to see a land-locked house that is only accessible by walking in between other houses. Newer zoning laws don't allow new construction under these circumstances, so land owners will typically raze the entire block and rebuild from scratch.

I know a few dentists who switched over to do plastic surgery (mostly boob and nose jobs).

I'd be interested in that too. I switched to development from carpentry. I'd like to know where to go when I get burned out on development. I'm not really interested in the standard management or project management routes.

I think they tried, but the radiation was too hot and melted through the steel and concrete below. This was an old facility, so it was probably built with that idea in mind. It just failed.

On a related note, I live in Chiba, which is a fair distance south of Fukushima. The rain and wind drove the radiation into my area after the accident. I still have interesting radiation readings in my rain gutters and spouts.
