I would not worry too much about the maintainer - judging by his GitHub profile he does a bit of professoring as a side hustle ;)

Thank you Christian Clason for giving us nvim-treesitter! And always remember, for each idiot insulting you there are thousands of happy, silent users.

As long as there are consumers paying for hardware ownership there will be businesses willing to sell it to them. The worst scenario I could imagine is that one has to pay a premium for fully-owned hardware simply because consumer's desire for it becomes an oddity and it is thus sold in low quantities.

The current AI-induced shortages aside, the times have never been better in my opinion. There is overwhelming choice; ordinary consumers can access anything from Raspberry PIs all the way up to enterprise servers and AI accelerators. The situation was very different in the 1990s when I built my first PC.

Nice work, could be useful to beginners!

Consider handling extreme cases gracefully with a "it is not recommended to go running/cycling outside in these conditions". Otherwise I get

It will be -37°C, clear, windy so you should wear:

Hat

Long sleeves

Jacket

Gloves

Leggings

brrrrr....

Place modifiers on the thumb keys or - if you don't have any of those - use home row mods!

My ranking of measures from most effective to least effective:

1) Do everything you can to minimize workload of weak fingers (pinky & ring fingers). Just flipping control and caps lock is often not enough.

2) Split keyboard; halves roughly shoulder-width apart. Optimize for straight wrists both at rest and "in action". This usually results in zero tilting or slightly negative tilting.

3) Concave designs.

4) Tenting.

Anecdotally I agree with the message, but the research looks weak indeed.

A simple snapshot assessment and some scoring of an individual's (entire, self-reported!) social life is too simplistic. The measurements would have to be performed throughout the life of each participant with sufficiently high frequency.

Slightly off-topic: how many people are maintaining GrapheneOS? Suppose Daniel Micay suddenly disappeared from planet earth - is there someone who has the knowledge, access and keys to continue immediately?

The workarounds on this page mostly suggest to use large public resolvers. Feature request (not sure if the author is on HN): it would be interesting to know which domains are blocked by 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1, and especially the new DNS4EU service.

A TAN generator or security key stored in a drawer at home. At least it reduces the opportunities for theft since people don't carry these devices with them all the time as opposed to their phones. Opportunity makes the thief.

Depending on your network configuration I could imagine abuse of EDNS(0). This is used for example by NextDNS to identify which device (MAC) on your local network sent the request in order to apply specific filters and log the request. A not-so-friendly DNS could sell such information.
