Caught my attention as eesel means donkey in my mother tongue. Privacy policy and terms of service links lead nowhere. Does not seem like those topics are considered seriously, just to make the footer look right. Seems like a scam.
Having been in the aviation community for some time and having seen more than a few accidents with these things, it's worth to mention that they are way more dangerous than they appear. The thing to look out for is "collapsing" the wing, which is likely fatal at the kind of low altitudes normally flown. That "wing" always needs a positive loading. Downdrafts at the perimeter of a thermal, orthographic winds, rotors, fronts, convergence lines, other causes of turbulence and vertical drafts - there is a reason why you often see paramotors in the calm of the evening, when you can cut the air like butter. If you like flying, a more safe hobby would be gliding.
As an Estonian, I can relate to this. "How are you" and similar drivel gets me every time and borderline drives me mad.
There is a brilliant comic called Finnish Nightmares that covers many situations like this. For anyone not Finnish (or Estonian) it is probably an inside joke.
Excellent tutorial for bitwise arithmetic this is. The key is the motivation you receive from the prospect of being able to do something that seems "l33t".
The plain utf8 covers the "basic multilingual plane" (x0000-xFFFF), so it will get you very far, actually.
In our app, we finally went for utf8mb4 to allow people to enter emoji. As a side "bonus" you will also soon see some clever people entering their names to stand out, such as "𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗". Note that this is not "John". It is actually a series of mathematical symbols:
U+1D679 MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE CAPITAL J
U+1D698 MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL O
U+1D691 MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL H
U+1D697 MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL N
How many of those do you recon had already been exposed before vaccine availability?
These people were putting their neck out almost a full year before the first shot was administeres. Chances are, many of them already acquired immunity via this route.
You would still be doing the job of concatenating together the error message, possibly rendering some complex objects to a string, that is then fed to the no-op. The point parent was making is that there is also a performance aspect to this, in addition to the security aspect.
One small thing that got me confused. Typing ? in my SO's Android (MS SwiftKey) automatically adds a space after it: "? ". No idea why it does that, but it stops search from working. Maybe skip leading whitespace?
To be clear, I did not mean that my fingers are caught between the keys. More like I often felt like I'm hitting keycaps sideways. I could not always discipline myself to operate the keyboard like a 1970s typist. This was very distracting and caused errors. Probably I bottomed out too much, instead of just breaking the click? I'm sure there's technique that can be mastered.
I guess I'm a slimline keyboard person and thanks for the recommendation. Perhaps I will try a mechanical slim as well, to fully close this experiment. For the moment I enjoy just getting some work done on the MX Keys, it is an absolute delight. Can't say enough good things about it.
Exactly the same sentiment. My yearlong experiment to try to love mechanical keyboards left me with a thousand euro hole in my wallet and physical problems spanning from fingers to upper body musculature. I loved the tactile feel, but hated what they did to my body.
I think mechanical keyboards are just too high, with excessive travel. You sort of have to keep your hands floating in the air, which transfers stress to your neck, shoulders and upper body. No palm support I tried offered any substantial relief, probably due to the long travel and finger contortions required.
Second issue, perhaps I'm a poor typist, but my fingertips frequently got stuck between the keys, causing mistakes by triggering adjacent keys.
One day I got tired and bought a 10 euro keyboard from the grocery shop. Noname, slimline, rubber domes. What a relief that was.
These days I swear by Logitech MX Keys. Best keyboard I have ever touched.
