Very apt quote, sadly.

Offtopic:

Regarding your Ask HN thread - some years ago I used (well, tried to) a small smartphone stylus which 'docked' in the headphone socket so it would be always with the phone. It wasn't good for me, because it wasn't sensitive enough for sketching, but overall it was fine for navigating the UI.

If your phone has no 3.5 jack but you use a case it can be attached to the case.

Maybe you can try to use a notebook style case, so your palms would sweat the case, not the phone and therefore you would have a bit less trouble with false touches.

Tolkien was a shockingly wise man for his time. I've been enjoying reading his letters lately. Adds so much context to his fictional work as well.

Hah, well thank you! Luckily the hyperhidrosis has since passed, since it was just a temporary side effect from medication. But I'm definitelly gonna get one of these anyway, because it will definitely be an issue again sometime in the future.
