So, the centrifugal force of head-banging is why metalheads grow long hair?
Or is that centripetal force? :)

I read the title and thought, about time, he's probably 80-something.
I really hope I could be productive at 90. Heck, I hope I'm productive at 70.
Heck, I hope I’m productive on Monday!
I think there was a HN post a few weeks or maybe a month or two ago that showed which weather forecasting service was more accurate in general by comparing predictions to actual. I think the winner was Microsoft's with about a 70% accuracy (with one or two others only a percentage point or two behind). Does anyone else remember this or have the link?
I think you are looking for ForecastAdvisor. However depending on your geo, different weather providers will be more accurate than others.

Question for Vim users: how do you get used to hitting Esc very often? I know some switch Cap with Esc but still clunky.
I type using my old Sun keyboard still. The escape key is where the tilde key is on normal US PC keyboards. So the pinky stretch is quite easy.
(Also the control key is where the caps lock is. Also another fine position.) :)

Peertube comes to mind for discoverability. For ensuring content creators revenue, the best way would probably be to host their own website and put videos behind paywall or accept donations, as they see fit.
Seems like a perfect area for patreon to expand into.
Support a user/artist on patreon, get access to their vids also hosted on patreon.

Just google the article and click the link. It is not paywalled for visitors from Google
Ironic workaround. :)
