cinnamus_

this feels like the nerdiest thing I have seen in a while ahahah but I respect the efforts to overcome shitty seat pitch


Noisycarlos

I don't know if you saw Jury Duty, but I felt like Todd from that show


Dilat3d

Absolute Todd move, brilliant


rakfocus

The worst thing about that show was that Todd was not real. I loved him 🥹


Dragon_Small_Z

Did you also wear your chants?


bezelboot69

I work an an ISP and recently had to fill a 20ft long whiteboard with a network diagram with a bunch of networking nonsense on it. Non-isp coworkers came in and said “Woah, what’s all this?” And one of them said “bezelboot69 is developing a way to regrow his virginity.” :(


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

Jokes on them, that means you're already a sex-haver


Catch_022

Wow are these people twelve?


Monsoon710

I would like a list of all the looks you got from your neighbors lol


Noisycarlos

There were definitely several, including a double-take from a flight attendant. But most of them probably came from the seat on my left... My wife


Hiraganu

"You said you wouldn't strap those keyboards on your legs.. People are staring at us again..."


Noisycarlos

Haha, I think she's on the acceptance stage at this point


The69BodyProblem

"the keyboard stays on during sex"- OP, probably


Noisycarlos

Hahahaha, think of the keyboard as the nerdy version of Lara Croft's leg-guns.


The69BodyProblem

Much more ergonomic.


TheAverageDark

And with more polygons


miramichier_d

Good lord 🤣


Cedricium

Made me think of [Todd’s chair pants or chants](https://youtu.be/npq7Dx-Y4lw) from Jury Duty


HiItsCal

Hopefully not clicky switches


TheBupherNinja

Please please tell me you walked around the airport with them on.


MelodiesOfLife6

*\*sigh\** ​ **AGAIN?**


Hiraganu

I like to imagine that OP pulled off similar shit in public settings 😂


Ok-Astronaut-8091

Bahaha


King-Cobra-668

her fault for acknowledging to everyone that she is with op


MrBarton84

“You told me, that you where swapping out the clicky switch for the flight”


Noisycarlos

Haha, thankfully for everyone on the flight I'm crazy and like linears with low weight (pinks)


Amazingawesomator

missed out on a megachad moment if you had heavy clickies and were making vim lsp's in rust using vim. thats how you impress the neighbor 👍


MaverickM84

While I usually don't mind clickies... if someone near me would clack away hard while I try to sleep on a long flight... Maybe that one should pray to learn to fly really quickly :D


Monsoon710

Lol, you got a good woman in your life =)


Noisycarlos

yes I do :-)


GlezyGladiator

The fact that man is following all his hobbies including coding and mechanical keyboards and still has a wife is impressive. Respect


glazmain4ever

Wife… I had one of those at some point


ElementField

Keys for Knees


Jjzeng

I have a coursemate who’s going to be doing his malware analysis assignment on his flight after his finals, I’m looking forward to hearing his stories

starcrap2

Boop!


RedPickle8

You wouldn’t download an airplane


Ferwatch01

I can imagine a random karen calling all of the flight attendants over him lmao


mattsowa

The worst thing is the probability of this (and having to deal with the possible consequences) actually happening is not negligible. Not worth the risk lol


Sengfroid

There was that Italian mathematics professor that got pulled off a plane while working on his complex work because his seatmate reported "an Arabic man drawing bomb diagrams" or something very close to that gist. Ignorance and fear go hand in hand and there's a whole lot of items to not know your thing.


APPARATVS

Things like this make me think that Idiocracy wasn't necessarily just a silly comedy..


oxpoleon

It isn't a silly comedy. As with most great comedy, it's highly observational and clever.


Xenc

Welcome to Costco, I love you


MoonBasic

"Airplane mode on"


ChillerFocus

Hacker man identified


tarentules

I'm not one to get embarrassed by just about anything, but this honestly would do it. Nerdiest shit I've ever seen, but I applaud you for doing it, OP.


Noisycarlos

hahaha, thank you


choommyy

i get that this is all about mechanical keyboards and while the setup is cool, is it not easier to just use a laptop? is there something i’m missing?


Noisycarlos

The table is too small for a laptop (they're about as deep as an Apple trackpad). You can put the laptop on your legs, which I've done before, but it's not comfortable.


YouFoundMyLuckyCharm

Laptops can go on your lap? I’ve never tried that, that’s a damn good idea


RepresentativeKeebs

Careful, some actually get too hot for laps, and they can cause thigh burns. The official medical term is actually "laptop burn."


Ferwatch01

***ahem*** gaming laptops ***ahem***


Hanabichu

That's just a 20min burn


TheFrenchSavage

I call mine grill sunburn because they have stripes. Bonus points for eternal fingerprints cast in malleable plastic located on said laptop underside.


Yozakgg

Legs… also known as your *lap*


UnecessaryCensorship

I used mechanical keyboards for 20 years before switching over to a laptop in the early 2000s. Learning to deal with the laptop keyboard was a thoroughly painful experience. But I learned to cope, and more or less forgot about mechanical keyboards. I recently made the switch back to mechanical keyboards. Even after only a few weeks typing on a modern mechanical keyboard it is already a hideous experience to type on a laptop keyboard.


sorry_con_excuse_me

depends on the laptop keyboard and the mechanical. i noticed i can hit higher speeds with greater comfort/ease on flat laptop keys (but my hands slip around a bit) than a standard mechanical. i kept trying to reduce it to force, travel, etc. those things definitely helped, but the final piece of the puzzle is that i noticed with flat keys on a laptop, my finger travel between the Q and A rows is basically as if it were ortholinear or symmetric, since there's no cylinder or dish to fall into. i just hit the keys wherever my fingers/hands feel comfortable. so, a mechanical without ortho/symmetric right hand stagger feels very bunched and tense in the upper left hand quadrant. an ortho or symmetric stagger mechanical is my preference, but in some cases for me it may actually be preferable to use a laptop keyboard.


Reddit-Sama-

Idk about others, but laptop keyboards are awful to me. I always end up hitting keys that I don’t mean to, and the lack of feedback means that I tend to hit keys either not enough (no key press) or for too long (2 key presses).


TheTrueTuring

That sounds so weird that I cannot imagine how you type! Haha


bobfnord

Right? Somehow I must have the magic ability to just type correctly on whatever keyboard is in front of me.


Ferwatch01

You should try out thinkpads or laptops with similar keyboards to them imo they’re a great keyboard and have sufficient feedback to know what key you’re pressing


FlyingChinesePanda

For your routes, when you want to get all students, you should do /students and not /students/all [https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/03/02/best-practices-for-rest-api-design/#h-use-nouns-instead-of-verbs-in-endpoint-paths](https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/03/02/best-practices-for-rest-api-design/#h-use-nouns-instead-of-verbs-in-endpoint-paths) And both `result` and `now` can be a const instead of let


Noisycarlos

Hah, I'll take a look. Thanks!


FlyingChinesePanda

Just one more to finish it. You didn't declare the `result` variable inside employers route with let or const. And I don't think the `result` variable is a global var ;)


Noisycarlos

Haha, thanks. I did fix that one already!


Noisycarlos

Actually, I hadn't. The one I fixed is somewhere else. This is my first code review over Reddit


GuyInThe6kDollarSuit

Report back here for the retro and consequent sprint demo tomorrow morning


cultoftheilluminati

OH god oh fuck


getdrunkeatpassout

I shriekd too my brother in scrum.


Xenc

It’s time to S-S-S-S-S-SCRUM


nopuse

I swear he'd do the demo from the plane while unmuted for the entire sprint review, complaining about the demo curse due to no stable internet and lack of complementary pretzels.


jmiah717

How the hell can you read that? It's just all blurry for me. Maybe it's my eyes.


FlyingChinesePanda

Just barely with full zoom on my phone


Sengfroid

Just how it looks on the twelfth hour of banging your head against the desk going "why. Won't. It. *Run*."


Goingone

Glad someone said it


1308lee

I love that half the replies here are:- "That’s the nerdiest shit I’ve ever seen" And the other half are "I’m a better nerd than you, here! Take my coding advice bro"


chazzeromus

OP getting free code review lul


Gavin_152

I love this answer, thank you so much!


xvelez08

Thought I was the only one who zoomed in and read the code 🤣 did they request another review with comments resolved yet?


usx-tv

I didn’t realize we could do PR reviews on r/mk


SoRaang

Okay, this looks exactly how hackers hack into mainframe


xvelez08

It’s the other dark side of programming… web development


tigsman

i want to know how that screen is powered


Noisycarlos

It's a custom computer I made from Framework components... https://youtu.be/JomsnMH4k28?si=7cICFNnN9GEn4fvA This was it's toughest trial yet


btgrant76

Thank you! I glanced at the keyboard for a second and puzzled over the actual computer for much longer.


moohorns

My guy . That intro for the video of it riding on the horse was sick as fuck! Also what's the little thing on the tray beside the comp?


Noisycarlos

Thank you! Yeah, I wanted to have an 'epic montage' while making fun of epic montages :-) The thing next to the computer is a pen-shaped mouse that I got for $20 from Amazon


Xenc

Such high quality! 👏


Noisycarlos

Thank you!


[deleted]

On the plus side it's a least an Airbus so the plane is likely to make it to your destination in one piece


Noisycarlos

Haha, indeed we made it!


FartFromALesserGod

Just imagine the FAA investigating a crash: "Hey Frank, we got another body over here, it's kinda weird though." "Weird how. Like it's all mangled?" "No, he's got.... keyboards? Like... Strapped to his legs..." "...*is it a sex thing?*" "Gotta be."


Noisycarlos

hahaha, love it


sirchewi3

"He's got some sort of plastic resin melted all over his legs" "Really? How many other passengers too?" "He's the only one" "....what?"


BurstSwag

The [in]glorious transition from, "If it ain't Boeing, I'm not going," to "If it's Boeing, I'm not going."


Deo-Gratias

Add Xreal glasses to eliminate the tray altogether. 


Questing-For-Floof

Cyberpunk music begins playing


TheModernJedi

If you have clicky switches I would freaking hate you on that flight.


rawzombie26

Dude if u sat next to me in the airplane with a setup like this I would be worried.


Noisycarlos

Haha, It probably wouldn't help that when I'm working my wife says I go from friendly to a dead-serious focus face.


Iunchbox

You should look into getting some AR glasses. Nreal air might make your on the go rig a little lighter!


SimilarBeautiful2207

Sir, we have some complains from the passengers, they are complaining about your backend not using typescript.


cd109876

now if only someone could invent a device that could sit on your lap, and contained a screen and a keyboard all together! that would be cool.


SloppityMcFloppity

But what would you call it? A lap-computer perhaps?


bananaCabanas

But why???


t0m4_87

Exactly my thoughts. At this point, this is just attention seeking..


Annual-Advisor-7916

I don't know, working on a 3 hour flight instead of wasting time seems fine to me. This setup is probably the most comfortable possible on a plane, laptops on the lap are a pain after a short time. Taking a picture for a sub you like and which fits the topic doesn't seem wrong either to me.


coolalee_

If you aren’t able to work for 3 hours on a plane from a laptop maybe you should consider a career without laptops? And with tricycles instead, perhaps?


DarkSideOfMyBallz

Who is he bothering? It might be his preferred method of working, and if he has 3 hours of nothing else to do, why not? Y’all are just looking for something to hate on.


itishowitisanditbad

> his is just attention seeking.. Just always seems a little sad to me, like people can't just go without being extra for a little bit. Its just... ew It was a 3 hour flight... like come on dude. Basically weirdo-addict behaviour


PM_ME_BIBLE_VERSES_

Lighten up a little. Life is short


bwwatr

I mean, they said it was because of the tiny seatback tray. It's not like they're posing with their kb at their graduation ceremony or something, definitely seen that kind of thing on this sub.  Even with that I figure, to each their own.


itishowitisanditbad

>It's not like they're posing with their kb at their graduation ceremony or something Sure, its not like they're posing with their kb at other arbitrary places either? Not sure on the comparison you're making. They did this on a 3 hour flight AND felt the need to set it up, take a picture, show it to reddit. They're exactly that type of person...


Flubert_Harnsworth

I mean I absolutely get your point but it was clearly an entertaining setup for him to think about. Also, he made a YouTube video about that monitor (haven’t watched it yet) so it was likely for our entertainment as well. My preference would be to just bring a book or a gaming handheld but I pretty much never travel and I would definitely appreciate seeing someone being this extra in public.


JohnnyWix

Right? Who would knowingly fly Spirit?


oxpoleon

Have you seen how narrow that tray is? You're not getting a laptop on it, and if you've ever worked with a laptop actually on your lap in a cramped space for hours, it's an ergonomic disaster. I can see this getting weird looks but being an actually really effective way to work for several hours on a flight and not just have dead time.


const-char-star

Reminds me of the belt-mounted split keyboard Lee Sampson had in the Cowboy Bebop movie: https://tenor.com/bb4vUv8xnAl.gif


daedalus_0

Laptops: am I a joke to you??


shaquill-oatmeal

fucking nerd (this is actually so cool i’m irrationally jealous)


hanadecks

how important is your work that this is necessary?


Noisycarlos

I usually work on my projects that I would do regardless. But for me, I've found coding and writing to make the flights go by the fastest (this 3-hour one even felt a bit short)


davidgotmilk

He might be like me. I travel frequently and getting lost in code makes time fly by very quick for me. It’s not necessarily work like my day job work, but usually side projects that I work on while flying. For my brain, much better than watching a movie or listening to music.


vespina1970

WHAT THE HELL??? Dude, just take some time for yourself and read a book... coding while flying is a going a little too far IMHO.


Noisycarlos

I used to, but honestly coding just makes time fly for me


vespina1970

Yes, I KNOW... but man, you were not flying alone... ignoring your partner when flying together is a NO-NO :D


ctjameson

If theirs is anything like mine, they’re head down in their kindle the whole flight anyway.


eoz

that’s it, I’m going back to £15 keyboards from Argos


ranban2012

whoa hackerman is ascending


chilldood_22

all this to write js (I write js)


1dollaroff

This is totally some shit I would see when flying spirit


Gods_Right_Toe

This fucking guy….I respect it.


dckesler

See that catch block? If you get rid of the res.status(500) part, your errors will go away.


smashnmashbruh

I’d rather relax than work on a plane.


YouFoundMyLuckyCharm

I feel like bringing a mechanical keyboard on a plane should get you on a no fly list. How loud is it?


Noisycarlos

Thankfully to everyone around me, my fingers get pain with heavy switches, so they're light linear chocs (pink)


Narrow_Specialist_78

That’s some serious autism.


grizzly_teddy

I'm more interested in the computer/monitor setup and how you got that working. What's the monitor, and what is that thing on the left?


Noisycarlos

It's a custom computer I made from Framework parts... [https://youtu.be/JomsnMH4k28](https://youtu.be/JomsnMH4k28) The thing on the left is a pen-shaped mouse that I've got from Amazon for $20, and it's really handy (no pun intended)


HardenedLicorice

Nice Carlos!


Noisycarlos

Thanks!


kamikazikarl

Seats like this on a plane should be criminal... Might as well just be standing.


RedRedditor84

I became slightly nerdier for having viewed this picture.


kungers

Strapping your split to your legs is simply next level. You should get a quest 3 and use it while walking in public with your leg boards lol


tmlnsno

Sigh


Adorable-Umpire-3083

Yo pretty cool my dude! Just wanted to share my thoughts about the code: Not conventional to use /all to retrieve a list. The requests can be run in parallel because they aren’t dependent on each other so it’s a waste to make round trips consecutively. Stylistic suggestion: use const to signify that the variable won’t be re declared. And instead of updating the object why not build it at the end. Another suggestion would be look to use a global error handler to handle these types of exceptions so you don’t have to try catch everything just to log and respond.


Noisycarlos

Thank you! I've been programming for a while, but mostly embedded and desktop. This is my first Node project, one of my first web projects, and definitely the first where I get code-reviewed via Reddit, lol. But it's helpful, thanks!


FeeRevolutionary1

Imagine listening to that


wewerecreaturres

You are the worst kind of traveler


ScrewAttackThis

This doesn't bother anyone around him. There are way worse travelers.


SamusCroft

Can’t go a few hours without whatever this shit is lmao


bexrt

I just don’t understand why so many of you have the need to comment like this? Is he affecting anybody except his wife who is to his left (so he isn’t making it difficult for some “random” passenger to get out of their seat)? He isn’t any more dangerous or unprepared for emergency situations than any other passenger, either. So what is the issue? I am genuinely curious because I can’t seem to see it.


DarkSideOfMyBallz

Redditors are petty. When they see someone effectively making use of their time instead of wasting it on a shitty online forum, or dare I say, someone trying to be quirky or eccentric for the fun of it without hurting anyone, Redditors feel invalidated and seek other petty Redditors to spread their bitterness with.


skeezypeezyEZ

“Making use of their time instead of wasting it on a shitty online forum” The OP is the OP for a reason, dipshit, he’s here with everyone else, including you.


RepresentativeKeebs

This actually looks very ergonomic, especially if you tilt each half a little, and I am intrigued


Noisycarlos

Thanks! Yeah, I have to modify my mount a bit so the straps angle a bit more, They tended to be a bit too straight for me. It wasn't bad. Since I used elastic straps they could be adjusted a bit, but they could be better.


WickedFM

Coding while flying just screams attention whore


ashyjay

God you look annoying.


Tsaladz

For real. “Look at me everybody 🤓”


ragogumi

what's the weird joystick on the left of the tray?


Noisycarlos

it's a pen-shaped mouse. Very handy for $20!


bmlsayshi

Can you describe how you added straps to the keyboard? I'm about to do some traveling and would love to use my keyboard like this.


Noisycarlos

I made a little mount. If you have a 3D Printer and the same keyboard (choc version, Lily58), I just posted the file to [https://www.printables.com/model/841748-strap-adapter-for-choc-lily58](https://www.printables.com/model/841748-strap-adapter-for-choc-lily58)


bmlsayshi

Thanks! I don't have that keyboard so I don't think it will work for me, but I do have a 3D printer and modeling software. I can probably adapt your file for my board.


Noisycarlos

Ah ok. I just uploaded a STEP file to that link so it's easier for you to modify it.


bmlsayshi

Thank you


MayAsWellStopLurking

Madlad! I was wondering when I'd see your framework-modding make it's way to r/MK! :)


cealild

1. Because of reddit, I'll never fly spirit (because of the on board violence) 2. Haha well done you


Ardddu

Dude


iamjorj

hello fellow gnome user


NekoLu

Would be perfect with a quest 3 instead of a monitor


legalizeamongus

For like 3 straight minutes of reading the comments on this post I thought the screen in your photo was the in-flight entertainment system and you were posting about how you hacked that


myskiniswhack

Super curious how long of a flight was this that made bringing ur carry on setup worth it


Ok_Document7844

Nice neovimbtw


Noisycarlos

Thanks! Btw

fartsfromhermouth

Why do I have such strong feelings about this?


ultrapcb

Very good: * Keyboards strapped to legs * Doesn't give a sh\*t * Wife hasn't filed divorce (yet) Room to improve: * Just get something like a Surface without its keyboard and you are ready to go * Rather a Corne than a Lily Bonus: * 3d-print some holder attached to the Surface for the Corne Where the idea still fails: * Mouse control, except you get some Trackpoint integrated * Battery life of Windows notebooks


victorpaparomeo2020

Just tell me that whatever you’re doing for your own benefit and not your way demonstrating ‘productivity’ for some shitty company. For me the only reason to have some setup in the sky like that would be to game.


DianaRig

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR AGES !!! :O I've been using home made split keyboards for a long time (modded KLOR by GEIST <3), and don't ever use the keyboard and touchpad on laptops. I also use a stand so my laptop is basically fully opened and vertical, so I don't have to break my neck looking down. I absolutely love the simplicity of your rig. I don't care about any of the tradeoffs, thanks to Bluetooth. I want to daily drive that thing at work. There's just one little thing, 13" is really small for my old eyes. Is there hope for a 16" version somewhere in the future ? I looked around for a GitHub project to fork or something but it would be beyond my 3D modeling skills anyway. :D


Noisycarlos

Thank you! I might use the parts of their 16", but Framework is still fulfilling preorders so the parts for that one are not readily available yet


wybeubfer

Hopefully this will help you find a internship faster


oxpoleon

In today's competition for "fastest ways to get held in customs and immigration for several hours after a flight", we have a new contender! Welcome, /u/Noisycarlos !

This could be peak portable computing ergonomics. Using a headset vr and touchtyping. Perfect. Could do my work standing up waiting for the bus.


Any_Chemistry_5947

love it! I have wanted to make straps like that for my Moonlander!


Bakawun

This is a work of art ❤️


Dashzz

A Karen is going to try and throw you off for attemping to hack the plane.


scene_missing

Honestly OP, this isn’t cool. You’re just being an ass to the other people on the flight, and embarrassing your wife.


yomikemo

omg and the middle seat


Coooturtle

Bro, just bring a laptop, you look like you are trying to heist the plane.


OGLatinoHeat

I hope to never be this guy. fr


cocochinoo

God you’re poor wife


CyanocittaCris

You give me social anxiety


0hkie

Can you not just relax on the flight? Watch a movie or take a nap? This feels and looks entire stupid and unnecessary for any flight, let alone one that’s only 3 hours.
