I don't think there are really any downsides. I can type in both Dvorak and QWERTY at over 120wpm and don't have any trouble switching between the two. I also use QWERTY on my phone, so maybe that helps a bit.

Dvorak is definitely superior to QWERTY comfort-wise (I used to get bad RSI with QWERTY, but that doesn't happen for Dvorak), and maybe speed-wise, though my speed in both is about the same. I can keep up a high rate of speed on Dvorak longer than QWERTY, though.

An an aside, I don't think you're ever too old to try something new. I learned Dvorak as an adult and it only took me a couple weeks before I was up to my QWERTY speed. Interestingly enough, after I learned Dvorak my speed with QWERTY actually increased, for whatever reason.

You’re saying you dislike or hate his principles. I get it. I hate Dick Cheney and Hilary Clinton’s principles but I don’t claim they don’t have them. If someone says “war” they don’t need to hear more, they support it. Noam
Chomsky is deeply principled. If someone opposes the US he’ll support them, whether they’re the Khmer Rouge or the Serbs in the Yugoslav Civil War. Lenin was principled. He believed in Communism and he wasn’t going to let any opposition, real or imagined, get in its way. He was a true believer, just like Milo is a true believer that he should be rich and famous.

Consider another great economist, Joan Robinson. She supported Mao and the Cultural Revolution to her dying day[1]. That’s principle. When you look on morality and abandon it because your politics are more important you’re showing your principles. That’s consistency.

Regarding the “shock doctrine”, a phrase that appears nowhere in Friedman’s voluminous writings others have covered this ground at length.

> The Klein Doctrine
The Rise of Disaster Polemics

> Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine purports to be an exposé of the ruthless nature of free-market capitalism and its chief recent exponent, Milton Friedman. Klein argues that capitalism goes hand in hand with dictatorship and brutality and that dictators and other unscrupulous political fig- ures take advantage of “shocks”—catastrophes real or manufactured—to consolidate their power and implement unpopular market reforms. Klein cites Chile under General Augusto Pinochet, Britain under Margaret Thatcher, China during the Tiananmen Square crisis, and the ongoing war in Iraq as examples of this process.
Klein’s analysis is hopelessly flawed at virtually every level. Friedman’s own words reveal him to be an advocate of peace, democracy, and individual rights. He argued that gradual economic reforms were often preferable to swift ones and that the public should be fully informed about
them, the better to prepare themselves in advance. Further, Friedman condemned the Pinochet regime and opposed the war in Iraq. Klein’s historical examples also fall apart under scrutiny. For example, Klein alleges that the Tiananmen Square crackdown was intended to crush opposition to pro-market reforms, when in fact it caused liberalization to stall for years. She also argues that Thatcher used the Falklands War as cover for her unpopular economic policies, when actually those economic policies and their results enjoyed strong public support. Klein’s broader empirical claims fare no better. Surveys of political and economic freedom reveal that the less politically free regimes tend to resist market liberalization, while those states with greater political freedom tend to pursue economic freedom as well.

I type somewhere between 90-103 WPM on a QWERTY layout, and I'm not even using proper home row position. My uncle let me play with a computer starting from the age of 5, and so by the time they taught us "keyboarding" in high school, my self-taught method was pretty set in stone. I only use maybe 6 of my 10 fingers when typing.

Which is to say, your children will be fine. Just let them practice, and they'll get more than fast enough.

Looks like there's already plenty here you can use to make an informed decision, but one more thing to think about:

Typing speed, beyond a basic level of competence, has pretty much nothing to do with programming skill. In fact, if your bottleneck is typing speed, you're likely better off stopping and spending some time thinking about how you might be doing things differently. (Not that we haven't all been there, but it should be a vanishingly small proportion of your overall time, hopefully.)
Right. Bolts are usually weak in shear but strong in tension.Their job is to create high friction between two pieces; that friction joins the two pieces as one.
no it is not that hard, for example one of my acquaintances who is from lucknow, uttar-pradesh, india, swears by ‘ram asrey’ (http://www.ramasrey.com/) which has been around since 1805 :) !

needless to say, the stuff from there is just amazing...

Freedom Zero Considered Sometimes Harmful
For users, Free Software has the undeniable advantage of avoiding dependence on its suppliers. You can arrange and share your own improvements. For many, the fact that it also costs nothing is less important. While fully-free works for some projects like the diverse and foundational GNU and Linux, the gratis consequence of Free Software licences has forced many Free Software creators to impose worse restrictions on user freedoms: Big Software limits powerful features or responsive support to the "enterprise" 1%, or uses a licence that limits competition. Small packages push ads, act like charities, or are created as either a poorly-supported recreation or a résumé item for a job making something closed. There ain't no such thing as a free beer.

To instead let Independent Open Software Vendors (IOSVs) thrive, most users should pay to use their software. This violates the spirit of Free Software Freedom Zero, "the freedom to run", even though it emphasises not restricting the software's purpose. A new licence, The DevWheels Licence, allows software to be both fully-forkable and require some users to pay to use it. It does this by percolating user payments back through software derivation graphs so that each package creator gets paid according to the value their package has added over the packages from which it has drawn.
It's not really about speed, it's about comfort. I can type with both layouts very quickly, but can maintain my speed for longer on Dvorak. Moreover, Qwerty makes my hands hurt very very quickly, while I can keep typing with Dvorak all day long.

I disagree. The OP's app is hard to read and has way too many visual elements that are distracting. Initially it has a "wow" factor but after repeated use, those aesthetics are going to be ignored and all your left with is hard to read text and distracting images.

Google's app tends towards the bland, but I don't think OP's designs are a huge improvement.

Also OP's app is targeting the gym nut. Google's is targeting the average person who is looking to just do any type of physical activity.
This happened to me too. A company reached out to me on Angel with their coding "challenge" - create a facebook timeline clone with an API, enzyme + selenium tests, documentation, and deploy everything to AWS. fortunately i have enough experience to say no to this kind of thing, but I do feel that some more junior folks are being exploited into thinking this sort of project is normal for an interview
The larger size on Linux is because the binary itself contains the debug symbols. On Mac, they're in a separate .dSYM file from what I understand. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46034.

According to that thread, the size jump of the unstripped binary is probably from libstd being compiled with -C debuginfo=1 now.
Depending on the system, you can create layouts where ctrl/alt give you temporary qwerty layout and revert as soon as you let go. That would solve most shortcut issues.
This reminds me of another math lesson failure of my own, we were asked to count "the dots in the boxes", our book used (as I learnt later) offset print, CMY (no K), and there were clusters of 4 dots.. One magenta, one yellow, and one cyan and one black.. I found this task difficult, because it was many dots and it was boring to count so many.. I did them all, 4 dots, 8 dots, 16 dots, 40 dots.. I failed them all. I was supposed to only count the black dots, how was I supposed to know that I was supposed to ignore the colored ones?
“The guy told them to p* off and then they gave him the £90 public order fine for swearing,” Ms Carlo added. “He was really angry.”

I agree that a lot of luxury is irresponsible, but at the same time I tend to view it differently depending on the situation:

An executive making a luxury purchase is different if their company is successful versus laying off lots of employees.

Buying a yacht can be part of an understandable (although expensive) hobby/lifestyle as opposed to something simply wasteful like buying solid gold toilet seats.

Building beautiful architecture, commissioning art, or adventuring/exploring (e.g. being the first person to climb X or to cross Y) can contribute to the vibrancy of society even if it isn't super practical.
Learning to touch type was probably life changing for me. I write quite a lot of reports, business plans, proposals, grant applications etc. and I can type nearly as fast as I can verbalise what I am thinking, and it has made me super productive compared to when I couldn’t type.
My kids are not quite old enough to require keyboard input (doing it, not receiving it, ya dummy) but I have pondered this very question.

I have been using Dvorak almost exclusively for about 15 years now. It's not faster, that's a myth -- but it is much more easy on the fingers: depending on the nature of your prose, you'll save perhaps 30% finger movement. With Colemak, that number is less, but you gain a more comparable (to qwerty) shortcut-key layout.

Obviously, there are all sorts of adversities facing Dvorak typists: native hardware keyboard layouts, limits to the users ability to configure software keyboard layouts (for instance, you may be able to change it on your desktop -- but not on the lock screen!), and of course having to fall back to qwerty on other's devices.

Curiously, on a non-touch-typing device such as the touch screen of a tablet or mobile phone, I'm useless on Dvorak (perhaps exactly because Dvorak was designed for hand-alteration?), so there I'm by far more proficient with one hand on qwerty.

In the end, I think I will settle for showing them both layouts in use at their home, and let them decide which to use. However, @kqr makes a number of very good points, not least the RSI one.

There's also quite a lot of knowledge tucked away in this post:

Very cute if unoriginal, someone says that anytime I bring up this argument, and the answer is very simple, of course I didnt!

A 'decision' is a physical process, as in 'physics' physical, if something is not physical, then it is magic, and I dont believe (believe being used in the abstract sense of course) in magic.

> I was told it was extremely close and that I should reapply in 12 months,

It seems really weird to me to put this burden on the applicant. If someone is above the hiring bar but just got edged out, shouldn't they go into the bucket of people to contact as soon as there's an opening? And for designers at a place the size of Google, wouldn't that be much sooner than 12 months?
Under linux I do the same, but under windows I have to constantly switch the layout to german, type ä, ö, ü or ß and switch back to english.

That's not the problem though; the annoying thing is when a PC is configured to only have the German layout available, so I constantly mix up Z and Y
well that is sort of the point of my example - I am done with my math homework if the math works = I am done with my programming assignment if the program does what was asked.

But people complain that I am not done with the programming assignment if I have not made it DRY enough, or put in tests, or done a readme outlining more advanced than run npm install then do npm run start.

Programming assignments may not be infinitely improvable but they can often be improved, I just don't consider it worth the effort to improve the work before submitting
There is a much higher rate of sociopathy among corporate executives [0]. It’s still a small rate probably, but it also likely means that some fraction of the people seeking these positions are doing so to derive sadistic pleasure from authority and power. Yes, they also want wealth, but they may persist even after money is no longer important because the position gives them power to soothe narcissistic & sociopathic tendencies.

It's definitely good marketing, so kudos to the creator. I will say though that so many Medium articles I read now are essentially marketing pieces. They'll cover some topic very, very lightly and have a call to action at the end to view the author's product or company.
In my experience, specs are omitted in technical articles IFF somebody is trying to hide something. Like super short flight time.

The MIT battery primer [1] states a specific energy of 150Wh/kg for Li-Ion cells. 150kWh would therefore weigh 1000kg.

Even at double the specific energy, the battery would still weigh in at 500kg, almost 80% of the maximum takeoff weight.

If there is a future for electric airplanes, it is going to be in fixed-wing applications.

There has been a big push to normalize the idea that "macroeconomists have figured out x and y". However, macroeconomists aren't scientists, and their messes like the Reinhardt-Rogoff affair should make everyone skeptical that they can claim they "know" anything with any degree of certainty.

I first encountered this when economists kept attacking rent control saying it destroyed cities, while Montreal remained the best place to live in all of North America.

Then I found this interesting essay about economists finally getting to try out an experiment about sweatshops in Africa, and concluding "Everything We Knew About Sweatshops Was Wrong":

> In the 1990s, Americans learned more about the appalling conditions at the factories where our sneakers and T-shirts were made, and opposition to sweatshops surged. But some economists pushed back. For them, the wages and conditions in sweatshops might be appalling, but they are an improvement on people’s less visible rural poverty.

>As the economist Joan Robinson said, “The misery of being exploited by capitalists is nothing compared to the misery of not being exploited at all.”

>Textbook economics offers two reasons factory jobs can be “an escalator out of poverty.” First, a booming industrial sector should raise wages over time. Second, boom or not, factory jobs might be better than the alternatives: Unlike agriculture or informal market selling, these factories pay a steady wage, and if workers gained skills valued by the market, they might earn higher wages. Factories may also have incentives to pay more than agricultural or informal market work to persuade workers to stay and be productive.

Never blindly trust an "economics textbook" lol. When you disagree with them, economists say "read a textbook", and when you point out the models are bad, they pivot to "it's just a textbook, real models are much more complex than that" (they tend not to be).
But then free will requires you to mentally conceptualise future events like "I want to go to cafe" and then translate them into interaction between trillions of neurons, 10 to the power of 29 atoms in that exact non-linear fashion!

So freely chosen decision is actually a translation of human-level concepts to non-linear highly complex set of neurons/atoms/particles and it is working flawlessly?

Wow!

Why not both? If you're teaching kids, as long as you keep them interested, they'll learn anything. Knowing both, they'll be able to both use shared systems and choose the preferred layout for private situations.

That's called civilisation.

And the US doesn't have absolute free speech. It never did.

Just like other democracies, it has restrictions on speech for various reasons, some good and some bad. It's about where an individual country draws their line on the spectrum:

Some US states have obscenity laws that other developed democracies don't. Obscenity laws. Just think about how insane that is as a concept.

I've learned/used basic TXR some time ago. I had a text parsing problem that needed backtracing, and it seemed simpler to use TXR than to use implement this in python or perl.

Basic TXR matching is really quite simple. Match some patterns, generate a report at the end. The patterns are interleaved with the matching text, so it's more like a more powerful version of regexprs (but far more readable), than a normal programing language.

You can learn it quickly based on the provided examples.

It's just a few straight forward commands, although you have to wrap your mind how the backtracing parser works.

Most of the manual is about the LISP. I never used that part and I don't think it's really needed for 95+% of all text parsing/summarizing.
Hot damn, as someone who has listened to a few JRE episodes, it is... quite good. What really struck me was its ability to recreate words that were (I'm guessing) weren't said by him in the past. Impressive!

There is no such thing as "standard" async syntax unfortunately. The Rust language team is trying to find the optimal blend of ergonomics and consistency when there isn't a clear winner.

Again you are simply asserting it is so. I'll grant you it's a very popular assertion, but you'll forgive me if I don't just take your word for it.

1) I think free will is a concept that has to be approached in a practical matter: as in we get better social outcomes if we assume people have free will.

The concept has utility.

2) Processes with simple rules can still exhibit emergent behaviour.

At very large-scale companies, it doesn't always work as well as coud be hoped. A company ten times the size of this company may not have ten times as many extremely-highly-paid executives, but it probably has ten times as many people further down the pyramid.

For example, the CEO of United Airlines is compensated $18 million-ish. There are 88,000 employees of United. That's $200 dollars per employee per year. You'd have to find a lot more money than that before you started seeing benefits to average employees on the same scale as here. Even if you assume all the highly-compensated execs can account for 5x-10x that, you're still well short of $14k/yr.
