lburtonon Ask HN: Options for One-Handed Typing

This will depend a bit on the person but for me when I injured my right arm I found that my touch typing muscle memory worked surprisingly well with a toggle key to flip the left side of my keyboard to become a mirrored version of the right side. Each finger was still hitting the same key like it would if I was using my right hand to hit the key but on my left hand. This was fairly easy to accomplish on a QMK firmware keyboard (I was also already typing on a split keyboard so that might be part of the reason it was fairly easy to adjust). See https://docs.qmk.fm/features/swap_hands#swap-hands-action

lburtonon Rio: Web apps in pure Python

I agree frameworks like this are great to see. I wonder how it compares with https://nicegui.io which is something I've used to build several small web applications in pure python (and wrap one up with their included pyinstaller based packer into an executable).. Either way, also glad to see competition in the space.

lburtonon Common tech jobs described as cabals of Mesoamerican wizards

Yes, generally not much in the way of CSI tech... just some magic ;) at least as far as I recall.. the first few books had some pretty amusing 90sish IT stuff but that mostly falls away as the universe gets built / the mc does very little IT.

lburtonon Create mixed reality models in PowerShell

I got a lot more than a 25% improvement.. you seem to have a much quicker machine or perhaps you were running one of the earlier scripts? For the wine glass script it went from >2 minutes to 1.5 seconds when output buffered. https://github.com/cosmosdarwin/obj-in-powershell/pull/1

Also for those that haven't come across it https://github.com/dlwyatt/PowershellProfiler is pretty useful.. despite add-content being the obvious offender here..
