One of the most influential folks in modern music. Instrumental in creating MIDI and polyphonic synths. The prophet line of synthesizers is still going strong today.
I briefly had use of a Sequential Circuits "Max", not only polyphonic
but polytimbral (it could kinda be 4 monosynths). Really ahead of its
time. RIP Dave, a great pioneer.
I have used several split keyboards. The matias ergo pro, the ergodox ez and finally the Kinesis gaming k975. Honestly the kinesis so far is hands down the best. Matias was great at the start but the pads are expensive to replace and repairs were difficult. Not only that but the non standard switches meant that as soon as one went I had to buy expensive switches from matias and look at opening up the keyboard myself.
Couldn't get used to the layout of the ergodox even though it was very nice.
The kinesis hits all the marks an is incredibly programmable.

Different tastes I suppose. Coming from having previously been using a TypeMatrix 2030 USB for many years, the ortholinear key placement of the ErgoDox EZ, which on top of that is also similar in having two big buttons in the middle that I could use as backspace and enter like I had on the TypeMatrix 2030 USB, is the exact reason that I chose the ErgoDox EZ when in 2017 I decided to switch to a mechanical keyboard.
The programmability of the ErgoDox EZ meant that I was even able to create a layout that closely resembled the Dvorak layout of the aforementioned keyboard that I had previously been using. Over time I have made additional tweaks, moving a few keys around to be more comfortable and removing keys that I weren’t using.
One thing I am still looking to improve is how I do with numeric input. Also my brace keys still have potential for a better solution.
Even if I don’t figure out an improvement for those two things it’s pretty damn good though.
Last time I commented about this someone talked about chording, and I think they might be correct that going that way would be a good way to further improve things. Just haven’t taken myself the time to work out how I want chording to be like and when to set of time for looking into that.
I've always wondered why Braille is in the sequence it is. I would expect an almost binary counting style sequence looking at it, but it always seems so randomized. Why does A have one dot, B a dot below A but C has the orientation of the dots changed? I'm sure there is a practical reason to not have C be three dots in a line but I'm not sure what it is.
the first ten characters are, as far as I know, arbitrary, but the following ten are the first ten plus one dot. Then the rest of the alphabet is the first ten plus two dots
Ah, see I assumed there was 'some' pattern. Its interesting that it doesn't seem more deliberate. Why groups of 10 for 26 letters? Maybe the random pattern at the beginning is for better differentiation of symbols?
It seems to me that it was designed with children in mind. Get them to memorize the first 10 letters of the alphabet (one for each finger) with drills. After that, it's easy to repeat the pattern for the next 10, and the last 6 are a breeze. I expect it would work equally well for alphabets with different numbers of characters.
Depends on what part of Mulesoft your talking about.
Traditionally it offered an Enterprise Service Bus solution but has been moving to an interesting collaborative API Management/Development solution over the past couple years. They really sell the idea of using an API network to hook up your integrations and then use Mulesoft's product to manage it.
Yeah SalesForce NEEDS Tableau. It is like a missing puzzle piece in their suite. Einstein is essentially enhanced reporting for SalesForce even though they sell it as an analytics tool.
It works surprisingly well but not great for FPS. I can't recommend the shield enough though. The thing is 2 years old still gets constant updates. I have it streaming 4k HDR content off server and it works great.
