for me, keyboard time is strictly rationed like a mana bar because the symptoms progressively ramp up, 1-2 being numbness or tingling, 3-4 aching and dull pain, 5-9 sharper pain, needle like electric sensation, grasping becomes difficult, the claw, some loss of sensation or sensitivity in the tips |

going from 1-5 can take as little as twenty mins of typing, 6-8 inside an hour, and the soonest i could reasonably expect symptoms to abate from that level back to 1-2 after giving up the kb might take as long as six weeks |

14:07 |
snsabot |
(trilema) 2017-11-22 asciilifeform: ( and , jaw-droppingly, just about every book 'on crypto' omits the otp proof. that very same, that constitutes the alpha and the omega of what's actually proven in the subject at all ) |

14:07 |
snsabot |
(trilema) 2018-10-23 asciilifeform: Mocky: it's an old idea of asciilifeform's -- otptron gets 2 sd slots. fill switch triggers fill-up of both with identical otp. then you fly to bananistan with ~one~ and trade with the other fella for his. then you both have identical xor of pad-a and pad-b, in the respective slots. |
14:07 |

(trilema) 2015-08-21 asciilifeform: otp has precisely three weaknesses even in principle: generation of key (solved by civilized rng); reuse of key (solved by erasing each bit immediately after it is used in a xor); capture of key by enemy (in common with any other cipher! and solved with grenade pin) |

my physio said to just 'listen to my body' and not do any weird shit like wearing wrist splints or avoiding typing/activity when i was pain free |

22:15 |
whaack |
i had a similar injury from surfing, colloquially referred to as surfer's ribs, where there was inflammation of the ribcage cartilage |
22:15 |
gregorynyssa |
is that caused by the pressure of the body against the surfboard? |
22:15 |
whaack |
surfing and any activity that involved putting pressure on the left side of my rib cage borought pain that came and went |
22:16 |
gregorynyssa |
ah, sorry to hear. |
22:16 |
whaack |
gregorynyssa: yes i think it's repeated trauma against the ribbcage |
22:16 |
whaack |
anyways i went 2 months of giving up surfing etc. to let the problem heal |
22:16 |
whaack |
and eventually i went to a doctor who said that it would heal on its own and that as long as i could endure the pain there was no problem with continuing surfing |
22:17 |

so i went back to surfing and endured a lot of pain in order to stay in the water |
