We've printed your switches at my university, they feel really great. Now we need to build a full keyboard in order to try out the typing experience, when used inside a keyboard.

Do you think the PCB and typing assembly could be made curved, like the assembly of a Model F or M keyboard?

Nonsense.

Programming languages should have less primitives like this and instead we should have better foundation libraries for the languages, i.e., containing iterator/-interfaces like Rust and Python (or Smalltalk).

This is an incorrect take.

The phase out of nuclear had already started. Merkel reversed that, than in the wake of Fukushima reversed that once again, paying the nuclear companies hundreds of millions of damages in the process.

Technically we don't know the mean deaths per TWh, only the mean death per produced TWh so far, giving that the waste is such a long term problem.

Correct, it's a SG Crimson (there's also an Indigo somewhere). But the other computers are Macintosh Quadra 700 – and 8 Connection Machines (CM5, so no XMP Cray as in the book) in the background providing the blinkenlights.

We're replacing coal, nuclear and fossil gas with solar, wind, and storage (in form of compressed air, batteries, and power2gas).

Once this has been completed, we're free from buying coal, uranium (Russia? Niger?), or gas and stop emitting large amounts of C02 due to the burning of fossil fuels.
