Dude, the semicolon key is intact, clearly a Python dev

But that same key also has the regular colon, a python essential!

u/Spiritual-Interview8 avatar

I have an irregular colon.

I have a full-colon myself.

Also vim >>>> emacs.

Until you learn Lisp that is

I agree, vim is great when you just need a text editor that does what you need a text editor to do and that is all

Semicolons are used a lot in python, like creating debug statements that belong at the end of every function (to know if you run through all the lines):

print(";)")

And if you want to create a lists of integers, this is the pythonic way to do it:

my_list = [int(x) for x in "0;1;2;3;4".split(";")]

WTF

This shit blows me array

No, it’s not funny, but it’s provocative.

Lol I didn't want one but thanks anyway. I just thought you know the guy who made a funny comment should get an award rather then the one who just wrote "this".

I think those WASD are completely untouched, those are just different colour keycups, some keyboards are manufactured like that.

(look at how those are the only ones with black letters and the paint on those is intact)

League would be QWERDF, fps is more likely

Even in most FPSs Q and E are heavily used for either leaning (which gets abused by sweats like in R6) or for gadget/item use.

Just would like to point out that you can’t abuse leaning in siege and you haven’t been able to for like almost 4 years now. It used to be a problem, but definitely isn’t anymore.

Ctrl+Ins = Copy

Shift+Ins = Paste

Found the veteran programmer. Did you learn on QBasic too? 😉

u/Blues2112 avatar

It was just plain ol' BASIC on the PDP-8 at school that I started on, filling out punch-cards (actually no punches--used a pencil to black out the characters we wanted). Then moved up to direct coding via the small CRT, saved onto 8" floppy disks, with continuous greenbar paper for printouts.

Actually glad to find someone else who recognizes those windows keystoke commands--I've mentioned them previously in other posts and it seemed like there was a mob chasing me away with pitchforks and torches!!!

Studied it in college during the golden age of 3GL languages. Learned FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/I, a couple flavors of Assembly, and dabbled in Turbo Pascal, Lisp, Forth, and GPSS-V.

Trick question.

You obviously are a backend developer using some esoteric WASD-only programminglangugae

Asus Tuf and other series laptops have those transparent keys.

This seems to be an ROG Strix G. And it's still worn out.

It’s an Asus TUF. It’s the same laptop I have at home, the keyboard is identical

it's almost any asus gaming laptop. I have ROG G513 and it has the same keyboard.

now the real question is why is it white

u/ongiwaph avatar

and why did the white letters "wear" into black

The wasd keys aren’t the point of the post. Those are clear key caps.

The cv and modifying keys are what they are getting at

u/ongiwaph avatar

No, I'm pretty sure that's C for crouch, Z for prone, Shift for run.

Mine is an MSI Leopard GL65 and i'm fairly sure it has the same exact keyboard made in the same shitty factory where they didn't finish the keys correctly so they wore out easily. Also guessing you play a lot of WoW or some other 3rd person WASD control RPG.

Probably none, since the worn out keys are what you'd be hitting often when playing an FPS like CS:GO.

Typeface shows clearly this is a gamer notebook.

C,Z,M and N? Not csgo

u/ThePretzul avatar

My guess is World of Warcraft and he either had a mouse with buttons on it (ala Razer Naga) or he is a despicable clicker. If my guess is correct I’d say he’s a serial altoholic moreso than a competitive end game PvE/PvP player based on the keys most frequently used.

C is the character pane. M is the map. L is the quest log. Professions are K and N is the talents menu. Z is an interesting one, it’s usually used for sheathing/unsheathing weapons so not frequently used outside of role playing but also it’s the undo button so maybe he makes a lot of mistakes when not gaming. Ctrl, shift, and alt are frequent key bind modifiers so not too surprising there and the space bar has a nice floppy jump spam wear mark.

Just one possibility, but I am probably still dead wrong. I would expect more usage of nearby keys like q, e, r, or f honestly even if most abilities were bound to buttons on a mouse or clicked.

u/Solarbro avatar

I came here to say this as well. The M N and L keys made me think an MMO with the number buttons on a mouse. As well as full use of the Shift, CTRL, ALT keys. I don’t really use that many keys when doing any FPS or anything, but those are pretty natural MMO keys.

I literally have the Razer Naga next to me right now too lol

Trick question, you obviously don’t have a job.

You're a CODer!

You are a hacker that specializes in hacking up keyboards. Seriously did you smash it against your desk? Did you play whack-a-mole with it? I know lots of IT people and I have never seen such keyboard abuse.

I’m going to be really boring here and say the whole ‘programming is just copy and paste’ is a archaic myth. Sure you might do that now and then, but it’s more anomaly than method.

Maybe you're just the guy everyone else is copying from
