  • Can someone enlighten me, how to debounce without causing latency?

    In the article, he only says “Now, how to debounce without adding latency has become common knowledge”, and I have absolutely no clue how that should work

    Edit: seems they just wait for the signal edge and ignore any signal “jumping” for some time afterwards
    Probably works ok/good with keyboards, but not with every application of debouncing

  • In general, I’m with you
    But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
    Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

    Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

    But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

    Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?

  • Thank you!
    Looking forward to your posts and thanks for the links :⁠-⁠D

    Regarding the reMarkable:
    I’m a fan since the first generation and now have the new pro version.
    I really fucking love it and I can’t imagine my work without it anymore.
    Before that I always had A4 notebooks with me. One per project and I couldn’t just discard filled up ones, because I sometimes needed to check my earlier notes
    So after some time, I was packing multiple notebooks on business trips and that got really heavy.
    The reMarkable completely solved that.
    I would still like to have it perform a bit faster on some cases and I missed some features, like drawing geometric things (or just a straight line), but since the last update they brought in a really cool feature.
    You draw something like a line, square or circle, and if you want to have it straightened out (and not consist of your own wobbly lines), you just hold the pen in place after finishing the shape and it will make it geometrically nicely drawn.

    As said, I really love it :⁠-⁠)
    Although the price tag is a bit hard, I’ve given away the 2 earlier generations to friends and so they still have a happy productive life, after I upgraded.
    So I’m fine with that at least…

    Edit: looking through the links, it’s pretty much focused on the English alphabet. As a German speaker, I’ll probably need something for ö,ä,ü,ß - although I could probably extend that myself a bit, when needed
    All in all, that looks very very interesting and could really help me in my daily work :⁠-⁠D
    Seems my wife is hooked as well, as she often needs to make quick notes during her work

    Edit 2: woah, ok
    First off, this all looks amazingly tempting, but I’m completely overwhelmed with the choices

    I’d need something to quickly write technical stuff down - like “just” replacing typical letters with easier/faster written ones, and cursive sounds more fun/fluid to write.
    But I’m having a hard time to filter out the systems, that base on phonetics. Because I think, that would make it harder for me to actually read my notes, and as I’m usually not transcribing spoken words, I don’t really need that part.

    I’m still looking through your recommendations, so sorry, if I missed something, that already matches my requirements. But would you have any system in mind, that would fit my purpose to quickly note down my thoughts and concepts that way?

  • As I’m rocking a reMarkable, my priorities would be ranked:

    • speed
    • size on page

    Everything else, I’m not exactly decided on, like number of users isn’t really important to me, because I’m mostly taking notes for myself.
    Phonetics also aren’t really important, because I’m mostly focused on technical stuff.
    Study time? Well, it is what it is. And when it’s worth it, I’ll put in the time. But maybe it would be nice to have something quickly rewarding to start?

    But this probably shouldn’t be orientated about my needs.
    Anything you provide about this interesting topic, especially when you include practical usage, is absolutely appreciated!

  • Thing is, that there are multitudes of sites I want to read like an article or two. Paying a subscription for all of them just isn’t feasible.

    By now I even forgot the name of the project, but there was the idea to pay the actual creator for the article I’m reading.
    And I really liked the idea. But as far as I know, that project died - and messy, if I remember correctly.

    But the idea is still good imho.
    I’d have no problem chipping in a bit, when an article is written good and informative. But I don’t want to buy the cow, when I only want a sip of milk.
