What really forced me to learn is when I got a keyboard with blank keycaps. But short of that, I found it pretty effective to do some typing practice where the text is computer code. See e.g. Type-Fu and in the "Lesson" drop down select "Code.". Source: almost 2 years ago
So it's helpful to do some targeted touch typing exercises for symbols. I've found it useful, though boring, to exercise on text that is purely a random sequence of symbols. This at least forced me to remember which symbols are at which key positions. Alternatively you could practice on a sample of code. In Type Fu, you can practice on code samples by selecting "Code" in the "Lesson" drop down. Source: almost 2 years ago
I used Type-fu when I finally decided to learn how to touch type properly. It worked just fine, it only took a few hours to learn how to place my hands correctly and finding the correct keys with my fingers. Source: over 2 years ago
Mavis Beacon is how I learned to touch type 25 years ago! For a great modern app with a lot of features check out https://type-fu.com/ The MacOS app is nice and it also works on the web and other platforms. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
Or alternatively: Boinc[1], which has a bunch of different projects. [1] https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Made me think of Gridcoin and BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
The BOINC Census is back for another year! BOINC is an open source software and network for volunteer computing. People can use it do donate their CPU/GPU power to various scientific research areas like cancer, drug discovery, mapping the galaxy, and more. Source: 7 months ago
A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
