Got back to coding little open-source projects. My typing speed could use some improvement, and practicing C is important, so I made a typing test. But it would need a contribution that adds text generation to be actually useful. I might spend a little more time on it later, but the whole point was to make something fast. I think we need to go away from GUI and get back to CLI.

Here's a backing sheet printout I made. You can see it through the sheet you're typing on and know when you're getting close to the end of a line, the center of the page, and the diagonal line gets closer to the right as you get closer to the end of the page. 1"-ish margins.

I had previously heard of scientific evidence that handwriting is beneficial to long-term recall, but today I decided to look this up, and as it turns out, what appears to be _the_ study that is responsible for a large amount of media coverage and thus public attention on this topic has been adorned with a notice pointing to a highly critical comment on the paper. The results are far from conclusive and the methodology is, in my view, more than questionable.

The most surprising part of the comment was that the study arbitrarily forced subjects to type with one finger and one hand without seeing what they typed on a screen.

Are you really expected to run five type-checkers now?

While waiting for the new keyboard to arrive, I am going to take an online typing test each day to see how I do on the current keyboard (Apple extended). Definitely off from a few years ago. I seem to average about 72WPM and bracket at 68-78WPM. This is day one. How well do you type?

If someone knows of better typing tests, please share.
