What owners report

  • “I can imagine it very easily, depending on the keyboard. [...] That fun stuff includes 3 different modes: One is just a keyboard, and the other two modes let the keyboard behave exactly like a game controller. [...] I haven't knowingly used this keyboard in game controller mode, but perhaps it is something can be selected by software (in addition to the multi-key combo listed in the book).”

  • “[...] This is how you can use it (as an example): (defun count-lines-and-words-ascii (sap size ws-init-state) (declare (type fixnum size) (type (unsigned-byte 8) ws-init-state) (type sb-sys:system-area-pointer sap) (optimize (speed 3) (safety 0))) (loop with loop-end of-type fixnum = (logandc2 size 127) for i of-type fixnum from 0 below loop-end by 128 with 0x0 of-type u8.32 = (u8.32 x00) with 0x20 of-type u8.32 = (u8.32 x20) with 0x0A of-type u8.32 = (u8.32 x0A) with wa of-type u64.4 = (u64.4 0) with la of-type u64.4 = (u64.4 0) with ws-prev of-type u8.32 = (u8.32 ws-init-state) for c1 = (u8.32-sap-ref sap (+ i 0)) for c2 = (u8.32-sap-ref sap (+ i 32)) for c3 = (u8.32-sap-ref sap (+ i 64)) for c4 = (u8.32-sap-ref sap (+ i 96)) do (flet ((process-chunk (curr prev) (let ((ctrl (u8.32-sat- (u8.32- curr 9) 4)) (ws (u8.32-or (u8.32= ctrl 0x0) (u8.32= curr 0x20))) (ws-shift (u8.32-alignr ws (u8.32-permute128 prev ws x21) 15)) (wmask (u8.32-andc1 ws ws-shift)) (lmask (u8.32= curr 0x0A))) (values wmask lmask ws)))) (multiple-value-bind (wm lm prev) (process-chunk c1 ws-prev) (psetf wa (u64.4+ wa (u8.32-sad wm 0x0)) la (u64.4+ la (u8.32-sad lm 0x0)) ws-prev prev)) (multiple-value-bind (wm lm prev) (process-chunk c2 ws-prev) (psetf wa (u64.4+ wa (u8.32-sad wm 0x0)) la (u64.4+ la (u8.32-sad lm 0x0)) ws-prev prev)) (multiple-value-bind (wm lm prev) (process-chunk c3 ws”

  • “I'm very confused on why C3 or Odin rarely get any attention at all, despite being in the same C-replacement crowd Your observation is valid, and many would say because something smells very fishy with what HN is doing. Zig is pushed at extremely nonsensical levels on HN, despite there being very worthy and interesting language contenders in the category: C3[1], Odin[2], Vlang[3], Dlang[4], Zen C[5], etc... [...]”

  • “I agree, having learned something with flashcards is like you have a repertoire to choose from. Instead of having to sort everything A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, C3 you get to sort A, B, C. It has built in chunking. And what I noticed is that with memorizing comes understanding. Your flashcard says A on the front and A1, A2, A3 on the back. After reading it a few times you will understand what A means. But it will also help you put together the overall topic of A, B, C. It is wonderful compression.”
