# GDC Vault videos can't be watched on mobile devices and this is a very sad thing indeed! | |
# (Note: this has changed for GDC2013, which lets you watch raw MP4 streams. Kudos!) | |
# This script is designed to circumvent this by downloading the lecture and slideshow | |
# videos which can then be re-encoded into whatever format you wish. Obviously, you | |
# won't be able to do this without access to the Vault. This is strictly for the | |
# convenience of legitimate Vault users! | |
# Note: this code is rather flimsy and was written as fast as possible for my own personal use. | |
# The code only works for the most recent GDC Vault videos, since they all use the same player | |
# format. If the XML format used to run the player is changed (as it has in the past), the code |
# Save branch history and revert easily | |
git merge --no-ff | |
git revert -m 1 <hash> | |
# Show n lines of context around diff lines instead of the usual +/- 3 | |
git diff -U<n> | |
# Check which branches are merged | |
git branch --merged |
(NOTE: Current and future versions of this and any other Advantage 2-related things I post will be at https://github.com/nicholasknight/adv2keyboard)
I received my Advantage 2 today. There's no full manual yet, even though keyboards are apparently arriving (hint, hint, Kinesis). The quick start guide leaves out the "power user mode", and there are some other quirks.
Update: A manual has been posted at http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage2-resources/
It includes a dictionary for the key maps, but I know it leaves at least one possible key undocumented: it does not list f14
, but I have successfully mapped my scrollock to f14
regardless.
It also mentions a firmware version (1.0.18) that doesn't seem to be available yet, with a new feature (status report playback speed).
FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
