As a huge LCD Soundsystems fan how could I miss this? I'm mindblown, what a masterpiece.


Is the creation of volumes as easy and straight-forward as with docker/docker-compose?


(Garden engineer here) You can take a look at the container module type guide to get a feel for how we reason with volumes. We have a persistentVolumeClaim module type which can used by container modules and that essentially creates a k8s pvc.

i had space when pressed remapped with ahk but couldn't get it to work reliably typing above 80wpm, how is it with touch cursor?


I can type 100+ wpm reliably with touch cursor. AHK is not recommended for space bar dual role functionality for the reasons you mentioned.


Ok good to know, I just installed it together with AHK and somehow they must interfere which each other even if I suspended or paused AHK's script.

TouchCursor sometimes is deactive and then after a few seconds again it works again...


or just put both esc and ctrl to caps lock, which got common in the kb community for a few years


not true, had this for decade, never grew on me bc it's just unintuitive. US International keymap on demand on Windows is far superior


nice, just tried to find some places where can find more models, like smaller layouts etc, but couldn't anything, neither on ali, amazon and ebay. Where do people buy Japanese keyboards except in Japan?



Ok this was easy. Don't know why I haven't checked Amazon JP...

Just checked and you can even order from Amazon JP and let ship to Europe. Nice, problem seems to be solved. Did you ever order something from them?


I have a Thinkpad Japanese keyboard from them.


The TrackPoint Keyboard II?

Do you know what scan codes (or in general what characters) those Japanese keys next to the spacebar send when the keyboard layout is set to US?


No the Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint(I don't mind the differences so much.) Using SharpKeys this is really easy. I do have a traditional Thinkpad keyboard non Japanse though.

All you do is press the key in the "Type Key" blank in SharpKeys.

I have actually gotten a Japanese Thinkpad keyboard for my laptop although its for the T420 model. I would have to check my Desktop to see how this works again(on a laptop right now) if you want the actual scan codes. I will say I haven't gotten this to work on Linux just Mac and Windows unfortunately.


Hey, I got the scan codes, they're 7B and 79, check here https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-8.html

(1) Where did you get the (internal) JP keyboard for your Thinkpad, Ebay or Lenovo parts sales?

(2) Imagine those 5 keys on your JP keyboard...

     _  _  _____  _  _
    |1||2||Space||4||5|
...how convenient is it for your left thumb to hit 1 and 2 and for your right thumb to hit 3 (Space), 4 and 5, each on a scale from 0 to 10? Bonus question: do you have small, medium or big hands?

And how did you get the idea to use a JP keyboard?

ps I use AHK, have to check out Sharpkeys!


1) that was slightly tricky I had to use buyee.jp

2) I have 2 of the 3 Japanese keys mapped to control/modifier and and the third mapped to space. Your picture seems to be off there aren't four modifier keys but three. The switch is quit seamless between a Mac and Windows. Medium Hands. I was analyzing keyboard layouts.


Hey me again, just checking out buyey.jp in order to order some stuff as well, so this is not just a freight-forwarder but an agent, means they do the actual buy of the product on the respective merchant sites such as Yahoo Auction etc.

How was your experience, would you use them again? And I assume you did a full managed buy?!

If this thread is getting restricted you can also PM me on reddit with the same username.


I had mixed reviews with Japanese auction site - one item arrived with good shipping, the other item did not and had freight shipping I believe. It was not a big deal to me but I would give them a low pass because there are no other options. This may be because of corvid.


Tried to use DDG for about 3-4 months on all browsers, desktop and mobile. Didn't work out. IDK why bc everything was good enough but there're small subtilties which felt better with Google, one thing I remember was Google's ability to understand that I just did a local search and showed me maps, Google Reviews and so on. I can't remember all issues buy I often appended the site to get the right results or those results I was expecting. Maybe I am just used to Google or Google is really somehow better (except with one thing, Pinterest). Just want to say that it's going to be hard to get people to move away from Google. Compared, leaving FB was a piece of cake.


@Brendan, well done! There's some way to go but I like the direction you took, in particular the concept of "goggles". When will you release the first beta?


So, after diving a bit deeper into this field I still do not understand why the underlying tech is important for bidirectional linking?

I understand that a graph database like neo4j can be amazing once you need more than just binary relationships (any kind of relationship in any level can be expressed) and once you start to query the database. Latter is so powerful and crucial from a data scientist perspective.

But why are these graph db features important for notes? And what are the drawbacks if you just do this with normal text or md files with links and a normal file system? Assuming that the actual link setting UI is convenient and takes care of most there shouldn't ne any disadvantage when writing and querying them. If things get slow you could still use an index but yeah.

One advantage with normal files is that you will still be able to read them in 50 years without any special app created 50 years ago.


You can have both, actually. Having a datalog engine allows things like this, which is pretty cool: https://www.loom.com/share/d007932e94db4b4981cca606bebdb54a


Thanks for the video. Still I am not sure why you need a graph database here, everything can be done with hyper-linked md-files, optionally enriched with metadata (front matter). I am aware that a graph database is more elegant but again, does it justify its costs?


I must somehow have missed the trend around networked tools such as Roams (and Notion?). Would someone be so kind and educate me why this got a trend and that it's not a fad.

I wonder if this link-setting which is still a manual task would not get tedious over time. Then, I could imagine that finding content is still faster with a full-text search or question-answering DL models than clicking through all your links.


While i was researching on the possibility of using wiki software for ontology management back then on 2018, i just realized that "wiki is probably good for personal note taking". From there, at first, i forked pmwiki and modify its UI and UX, focusing it more for personal notetaking than a community wiki. Later, i completely rewrite everything from scratch, aiming for performance reasons (https://github.com/altilunium/rtnF). Now, i use it everyday for my personal use. In fact, this comment is drafted on rtnF first. HackerNews' textarea is too small for me to compose a long text.

Then, out there, coincidentally "networked note" application is booming. Roam Research, Obsidian, and even more : https://www.notion.so/Artificial-Brain-Networked-with-linear... . I dont know who is the actual first inventor. I think Roam popularized it first on the public.

Later, people start asking frequently "which notetaking app do you use?". The realization that people do need a notetaking app. Text editor and word processing software are not enough for notetaking. Because the former is intended just for editing a file and the latter is intended for producing printed document. Notetaking is different usecase. Well, even though the frequent answer like "i use pen and paper" "i use my own brain" is rampant on this kind of thread.

Whether on this is a fad or not, i think some people actually need this kind of app. But i doubt whether everyone need it or not. For me who usually research things, collect data from experiments, write down important texts from papers and articles, write down important information while attending online meetings. All of those can be stored and managed on this kind of app. Using text editor and word processing software for this kind of usecase will make your folder cluttered with files, it's hard to manage it.

>I wonder if this link-setting which is still a manual task would not get tedious over time. Then, I could imagine that finding content is still faster with a full-text search or question-answering DL models than clicking through all your links.

Link forces you to organize your notes, i think. Even though i agree that it get tedious over time.
