It does make the transition a bit harder, but it also reinforces good habits at the same time -- you shouldn't be looking at the keyboard while you type. I also think the value added by an alternative keyboard layout to smaller screens is marginal at best, if not counterproductive, since having your fingers farther apart (e.g. not on the home row) makes typing easier.

If you really have the answer, then you'll know what to do with it. :)

I built this in Unity with WebGL after collecting data from Google Arts & Culture, over the course of three months. I'd love to know your thoughts!

nu is still in its infancy, and currently lacks critical features of other shells, which is why I haven’t switched completely.

As for the future, perhaps a bit brazen, but I’m confident that other shells will introduce the core feature of nu in the near future to stay competitive. I can see fish having a “||” operator and rewrites of a few gnu functions to achieve what nu does natively.

I resonate deeply with this.

I think this is strongly associated with effective altruism; It would be helpful to start with the very basic things you could do to improve the lives of others: volunteering at local food banks, teaching in places without suboptimal education, donating to reliable organizations, e.g., but since you have a highly valuable skill (you presumably have a high paying job), comparative advantage would suggest to apply your technical skills towards social good.

It would be a good idea to start by identifying problems in the world, at a macroscopic scale. The UN Sustainable Development goals would be a strong place to start. Dive into a problem, learn it’s intricacies, and figure why it cannot be resolved. We’re usually not limited by resources, but rather our allocation of these (I read somewhere that 30% of food grown is not eaten). If the limitation is something that can be lessened with technology (e.g not politics, insufficient resources, or other non-intervenable factors), then it simply comes down to creating a solution or to join an organization with an idea, but needs help.

If you find something, please do reach out. This is also something I’m searching for.
