It's really useful for those who have challenges typing (arthritis, disabilities etc..), perhaps not best for general audience as typing with auto complete is faster.

Ask HN: How did you start higher education after 40?
I want some advice from people over 40 who started their higher education after they reached that age. I'm mostly looking at people who decided to do PhD or Masters post 40. How was your whole journey? What advice do you have to share?

GitHub pages is a good way. Here is how to do it https://pages.github.com/
Note I'm in no way associated with GitHub apart from that I use their git hosting solution.

I used the same technique of having the keyboard layout away from the keys and moving to a different key layout. I'm currently using monkey type to train myself.

This seems like a too smart for your own good situation.
Just because you can write a programming / scripting language doesn't mean you should.
There are tons being developed already, why not just adopt one of those.
I support NeoVims decision of going the lua route.

Set an expectation that you plan to launch by some date and collect email id. If they are willing to share their email then that shows they are really interested.

Re:DoorDash will require all employees to deliver goods
on Friday December 24, 2021 @11:01PM (#29680273)
My company in South East Asia has been doing this for years now, we are in ride hailing and food delivery business among others.
Why is it important?
It drives empathy. Testing in non-production environment can tell that the feature is working as expected but it can't tell what the delivery person goes through or what the customer experience is like.
Our policy is not one trip but one day of doing this.
Overall it drivers a deeper appreciation towards deliver agents.

There are a few services like patron or GitHub sponsors but those don't create value for the developers.

Ask HN: Have you felt that Clojure is a bad version of Common Lisp?
I am not sure why I feel this way. Clojure on the outset looks like a perfectly fine coding language. However when I started using it I didn't feel that same elegance I would with Common Lisp.I am unable to articulate why I feel this way. It's most likely because the Clojure code base I dealt with wasn't up to the mark.Any views around the same? Have you felt this way?

The question - What's the experience and how / if they dealt with it.
I am not looking for any advice on how to deal with this situation, I am influential and at a senior role as well.
But I wanted to hear experience that other's have had.
