It is not possible to "just map": Enter key has completely different shape and size and pushes backslash/pipe key to different row.
I'm used to ANSI with single row Enter and I don't seem to be able to switch to ISO (in the past I was forced to order and replace keyboard in my laptop because of that)
If "you" are so different species, I'm looking with horror to the day when you need to replace your car.
Come on, button shape and placement (which is not that different, there is no round Caps Lock on Backspace) completely breaking the ability to work on the computer is the most retarded First World Problem.
>I'm looking with horror to the day when you need to replace your car
Which car of yours did ever swap the positions and shapes of the 3 pedals or the steering wheel?
Every (manual) car I ever drove had left pedal always clutch, middle one brake, and right one was the loud pedal and steering wheel was always in front of me and somewhat round shaped.
So what's there to adapt to when changing cars? At least use some good analogies if you want to play this game.
>completely breaking the ability to work on the computer is the most retarded First World Problem
Where did I say it's completely breaking the ability to work on the computer?
It's not, but it's annoying enough to affect my productivity, kind of like a rock in my shoe, and enough for me to prefer to stick to my ISO layout wherever I can.
> Which car of yours did ever swap the positions and shapes of the 3 pedals or the steering wheel?
Every time I go from the UK or Ireland to continental Europe. The entire set of controls are on the other side of the vehicle, and some are mirrored (e.g. gear shift on the left or the right) and some aren't (e.g. the layout of the pedals). So I adapt.
Every time I switch from a manual to an automatic or back.
Works for keyboards, too.
When I type on PCs, the leftmost or rightmost key is Ctrl, the one next to the spacebar is Windows/Super, and the one in between them as Alt.
When I type on a Mac keyboard, I use the one next to the spacebar as Alt, the leftmost/rightmost as Cmd, and the one in between as Ctrl.
I borrowed a car that did not have a stick supporting the gear selector. Instead the gear was selected by a slide switch in the plane of the top of the center console. In my muscle memory, that is not where that function is.
What do I win in exchange for getting accustomed to this?

Ask the shitheads placing PrtScr in the place of ContextMenu?
But this is irrelevant, TS states:

The size and form of the steering wheel, pedals and stick varies, yet they are located in the same place on a half-liter ultracompact and on a 5t lorry.
Since 90s I had used all the types of keyboards, with wildly different Enter-key shapes, with different "/" key placement, even with Escape being not the leftmost key. I used keyboards without any marks (and that wasn't Das Keyboard) and I used all the kinds of shitty keyboards (not including notebook ones). Aaaand I used all the notebook keyboards what some fuck decided to fuck with layout with absolutely no fucking reason. Oh, and let's not forget the greatest invention in 21st century: replacing the Function keys with whatever shitty function by default, because you reaaaaallly need to change the volume, monitor brightness, enable\disable wireless network and change the output to the external screen every couple of seconds, yes? Even the notebook in the topic has the power button where it should not be at all and which would actually break my muscle memory, because most sane notebook layouts have the Delete key there.
But I never ever had the trouble finding the Enter key on those keyboards. And I never had the trouble to actually adapt even to the shittiest keyboards. Well, except this PrtScr shit on the ThinkPads but even them.
Claiming a human being can't adapt to a slightly different form of the Enter key is like claiming what you can't drive the car because the steering wheel is slightly smaller than in your previous car.
I think it's a little more complicated than that. Human After All was widely panned on release (and in my opinion remains very hard to listen to), but then was "rehabilitated" by the Alive 2007 live album. And Random Access Memories always felt like it lacked the energy of their earlier work, sort of like lounge music. Just one opinion, but not necessarily snobbery.
Just wanted to touch on media keys. I've recently discovered playerctl and that media players expose standard dbus interface for playerctl to use.
In (bare) i3 I bind XF86AudioPlay to "exec playerctl play-pause" (etc.) and it seems to "just work", with spotify client, youtube, youtube music (both in firefox)
Depends on your needs really.
Some metrics we do (for now) keep indefinitely. We're using Thanos to ship data to bucket in object storage
Some metrics we do keep for two weeks only.
Biggest single promethueus server I have access to currently uses almost 64GiB of RAM and ingests about 80000 samples per second. Most of scrape intervals is 60s.
It is about 5 000 000 time series.
Note that we do have more time series - above server is just a horizontal shard, ingesting just one part of total metrics volume there.
I've recently made a switch to Kitty from iterm2. I couldn't suffer general slowness and visible lag when using vim or nvim anymore. Various solutions and workarounds provided only minimal relief.
With kitty the performance improvement was dramatic. Configuration is more involved (config file), but I've managed to set everything up as I'm used to in short time.
I'm happy so far, but ymmv
Similar situation here. At some point opening/closing tabs got really slow for me in iterm2 and I couldn't find a way around it. With kitty it's pretty much instant and for me worth the lack of other features.
Also, a whole lot of it is written in Python and I actually contributed smaller changes in pull requests. It feels good to be able to just change things.
I did this too and used kitty for maybe more than a year. I recently switched to gvim and using :terminal though; the font rendering is better and actually I think it's even faster. Give it a try.
P.S. weirdly on Linux it's entirely opposite; vim in an xterm is much faster than gvim.
Huh, I switched to Kitty a year or so ago and then back to iTerm when they introduced GPU acceleration. Turning off ligatures made nvm much more responsive for me.
I drive 2017 Renault Talisman, which is basically the same as 2019 model (there was no facelift in the meantime).
I really don't understand where some of the complaints from the article come from.
The "another stick" to control audio is pretty nice. I find especially volume control pretty natural. Contrary to article it does allow switching tracks/radio stations.
I don't mind the steering wheel controls. I don't use cruise control that much, so left side is mostly unused, but I often use right side). I drove 2004 Mazda 6 before this car, where I had volume control on the steering wheel and I do not find Renault's layout interior.
The R-Link infotainment system is far from perfect. Menus are quite confusing to me. I don't find it slow though, but I guess the main point is that I do not use it much. I sometimes change something in the settings (usually when stopped), but more often I just start Android Auto and use that.
I don't remember if the setup visible in photo in the article is the default, but there is a hidden option in Android Auto which allows it to take much more of the screen space than shown by author. It's kinda like square display then?
I find using touchscreen then tolerable (but I do not advise to do it while driving). My son selects own music without problems though.
One thing missing from the article is that the main infotainment system and Android Auto can be controlled via the knob/wheel controller visible in the photos. It supports rotating, 4 wheel directional action and press. The operations I perform the most while driving (that is controlling music via Spotify) are really quite comfortable when using this controller.
Note that, unlike some other cars, there are two physical dials for setting climate control temperature. These I do use and can't imagine having to use touch screen for that (that eliminated for example Peugeot 308 when we were shopping for car)
But how I (180cm height) or my wife (163cm height) accidentally press the cruise control/speed limit button? I have no idea.
I have automatic gearbox, but quite often (when stopped and, obviously, when changing gears) I drive with one hand on the stick and elbow resting on the the elbow-rest and I can't imagine how that switch could be pressed. Maybe if someone is really short and the seat is in very forward position? Certainly not in position as shown in photo. Also never heard such complaint from other Talisman owners.
> Contrary to article it does allow switching tracks/radio stations.
I think I've pressed every single button on the wheel and all the sticks. Still haven't found a way. If you need to read the user's manual to figure out such a simple task, it's a failure of design.
For example, I would think that the right thumb stick would do that. Because it literally does nothing. But no.
> ne thing missing from the article is that the main infotainment system and Android Auto can be controlled via the knob/wheel controller visible in the photos.
Yeah, no. It's much worse than glancing at the screen and reaching to touch it. Because you have to constantly look at the screen while manipulating the knob. Because at any point in time you don't know where the current selection is and what actions will be triggered by activating the knob.
Unless, of course, you set it once (on the "change track" button) and never move it.
> But how I (180cm height) or my wife (163cm height) accidentally press the cruise control/speed limit button? I have no idea.
Having it done three times already, I also have no idea, but I did (I'm 178cm). Possible reasons:
- While parked I had to reach to the passenger seat from the driver's door (the button is extremely easy to deactivate)
- Fumbling with my water bottle when trying to put it into the compartment under the hand rest
- Leaning over to the right and putting my elbow down for something (probably reaching for something or scratching my leg)
However, "I can't imagine how" cannot be a justification for this design decision. The reasoning is simple: when you are already driving, how do you turn cruise control on?
