Also, the Spanish word "anillo" (ring) is derived from a diminutive form of Latin "ānus".

Fun fact: Latin had long vowels as well as long consonants. So be careful with them or else you might be calling an old woman an anus. ānus = ring / anus annus = year anus = old woman

According to the person I was responding to, that apparently would be an “arcology of dystopian cyberpunk”. So it’s not cyberpunk when people work for dying big box stores, but it is when OP works in a WeWork located in the same mall?

What if I pay $30-50/month for a suitable memory optimized EC2 instance and just use VNC?

Malls are already coworking spaces. People already work in them, full time, for different companies.

I can type Qwerty, Dvorak, and Colemak all over 100wpm ( https://youtube.com/watch?v=mQ6iSYMMHv0 ). You definitely have to practice all three together if you don’t want to lose them. Also happened with language learning. I sp

There is no guarantee that supporting monetization is going to stop the ad cancer. I pay for a yearly membership to a typing game website which claims that if I pay them they will stop showing ads. However, they don't stop tracking m

I studied Cantonese for a couple of years, and even used the language in my Hacker News username. What I find disturbing is how quickly a language as large as Cantonese can be eroded away in just a couple of generations. I suppose this isn&

For the curious, here's a graph of my Colemak in the same time period: https://i.imgur.com/kN9g3n6.png The hump at the beginning was from when I decided to stop learning Colemak, and learn _yet another_ layout, and th

Not OP but it was definitely a struggle. I had a few job interviews where they didn't understand my request to change the keyboard layout... or the computer was too locked down, or whatever. That, and typing on literally anyone else&

That's a good point. I know I definitely do that for the -= keys... but then again, my proper form breaks down for the top row of the keyboard. That's my biggest weakness by far. For ,./;'[]\ I would argue that you sh

Here’s Jashe Poon getting 158 wpm on a test where his keyboard layout suddenly switches twice so that he ends up typing 20 seconds each of Qwerty, Colemak, and Dvorak: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GK8UQGO-qFA

This article is toxic. So what if he overpromised and underdelivered? I would rather people support his cause and actually build something that delivers on the hype rather than sit on their high throne and shit on ambitious projects.

It often feel like a statically typed lisp with much less in the way of macros.
