Comment Re:Why put tabs in code anyway? (Score 1) 390

I used to indent parameters across multiple lines like that, but they're just too much of a hassle to maintain like that. I think it's just as readable and less work if you put each parameter on its own line, just give it normal indention:

if (AThing)
{
--->MyFunction(
------->parameter1,
------->parameter2);
}

or normal indention + 1 indent:

if (AThing)
{
--->MyFunction(
----------->parameter1,
----------->parameter2);
}

Comment Re:The problem solved by QWERTY makes faster typin (Score 1) 663

You make very good points about alternating between hands. The strength of the Dvorak keyboard is that a high percentage of English words are typed in an alternating pattern. In QWERTY there are a lot of words that require typing two consecutive letters with the same finger. In Dvorak, there are quite a few words which can be "rolled". In fact, my most common typing mistakes in Dvorak are hitting the keys in the wrong order because I can basically "press" the word, and it's a matter of the keystrokes landing in the right order. QWERTY typing has a much rougher rhythm to it.
