Guys, I know this is an extremely stereotypical Hacker News response, but I really want a Dvorak layout :(

It's mentioned in the footnotes of the article and discussed below https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7111183

Basically the way Dvorak is optimized is sub-optimal for the Minuum disambiguation engine and so it reduces the accuracy. It turns out you're much better off with QWERTY or better yet something specifically optimized for Minuum.
