This is one of the funniest fails in HN history. Making me feel slightly better about myself. Absolutely priceless material. This will go down in the annals alongside such epics as “just use rysnc”.

After the time jump was fantastic. Is it directly related to the first half? Maybe not, but it's a well thought out picture of what happens as that timeline continues on. Plus it's just fun. I love the entire book (Seveneves).

macOS has multiple ways to switch. Configurable keyboard shortcuts or you can keep an input picker in the status bar.

How often is that? And, what cost exactly? Just type in QWERTY. It’s just not a big deal.

I’m still confused. The letters being in the wrong location doesn’t affect me in the slightest. My laptop is printed with QWERTY keys, and I type on it with DVORAK. What’s the issue? And if I need to use someone else’s computer I just type

I’m not here to convince anyone as I could care less what layout you type in, but are you really saying a few days or weeks of typing slightly slower isn’t worth a lifetime of increased ergonomics and comfort?

Do you.. look at your keyboard while typing? I don’t even have letters on my keyboard.

by Carrok 2y ago
If you are looking at only speed as a benefit, it’s debatable. For ergonomics, absolutely. Look at the hands of someone typing QWERTY, they’re almost bent in half longways for certain key combinations. DVORAK on the other hand allows your h

This is quite the straw man you've constructed. You seem to be suggesting that either housing must be exploitatively expensive, or people must live in squalor.
225.
by Carrok 2y ago
You appear to be making an incorrect assumption that price controls must be so onerous that they will result in zero new housing being built.

by Carrok 2y ago
If price controls on housing exist in SF but not elsewhere, and this causes developers to not build there, then the issue is not that price controls exist in SF. The issue is that price controls do not exist elsewhere. Set the same price co

Back when iPhone jailbreaks were common, I installed a morse code keyboard, the whole keyboard had just two buttons. Dit on the left, dah on the right. My motivation for doing so was being able to type out a message with my phone in my pock

I haven’t had a raise in two years. In fact some of my benefits have been reduced, so I’m making less than when I got hired. Next week I start a role with a 20% pay bump. Staying is only justified if your company actually reacts to the real

Imagining for a moment this isn’t satire, what a fantastic way to gather blackmail worthy intel. Convince people to confess their sins to the “pastor”, threaten to email their partners/parents with what they’ve said.

Please elaborate on these tangible realizable benefits. I honestly can see none. As far as risks, literally being falsely imprisoned or executed is an actual, real world risk, that people have actually experienced. https://daily.
