Would you be willing to speak more about your disability, evaluations, and your day-to-day? I’d also be curious as to your evaluations, and whether or not you’ve appealed via the ADA?

Really enjoyed this. One issue: sharing my results was not great. Pasting in iMessage gave the result text and the image; pasting in discord only gave the text; pasting in telegram only gave the image. Not sure if this is even your fault, b

How do you account for confounding variables? For example, unseen or alternative methods of communication e.g. body language like bobbing, or clicking their beaks? Or even the tonality of the squawking? Whistling? It seems like you might st

I’m not familiar with the “Unix Fundamentals” class (got a link?) but when I have interns I make the “missing semester”[1] course part of their onboarding. I find it’s a nice balance of pragmatism and the classroom structure they are alread

If you tap the page options (the ‘Aa’ icon in the url bar) you can zoom the page out which will bring everything into view.

Would also be interested in this topic. I’ve been a dev for some years now but I have always wanted to lean more into the scientific/research side of things and no idea what that path looks like or how to get there. Ultimately I’d like

You may enjoy the audiobook versions of the Dirk Gently series, which are fully scripted and voice acted like a radio play. It was a really fun experience, and very well acted!

Ctrl-a and ctrl-e will go to the beginning and end of a line respectively in most places on Mac. There are many of the “standard” Linux/unix keybinds available for most apps.

If you're on Mac, there's a nifty free app for keeping your computer from sleeping called Amphetamine, which can move your mouse for you at a set interval. It's pretty ridiculous there's no setting in Teams to disable th

Which patterns and techniques are you referring to, in particular?

43" seems rather large--how far away do you sit? If it were as close as a more "normal" sized monitor (~2-3 feet), wouldn't you be craning your neck all day trying to see different parts of the screen?

Seems like something I have been looking for. I am currently using a combination of Daylio and a random counting app I found on iOS to track myself on some habits, but this looks like a better solution. Any plans for native mobile apps, or

Yeah, or a quick firefox addon like stumble used to have!

Since when do 2 people and a dog need a 5 bedroom house? And does that really only qualify as “decent”? Especially 3 years out of school... In any case OP was just trying to point out the entitlement that gets instilled, and how it can be p

Maybe you can start from a different angle. It might sound odd, but try taking a simple concept that you know, say calculating a restaurant tip or something and write it out in English + LaTeX. Build on this until you can do some more compl

This sounds useful, would you mind sharing?

That’s all well and good but despite your indignation you haven’t actually explained what it means to market to children. Maybe I accept your premise that marketeers know how to single out specific demographics, but I don’t work in marketin

I attended a tech resume workshop recently and the recruiters there said they would absolutely discard resumes with photos (and other overly personal info) on them due to bias, and were instructed to do so by their employers. Interesting, b

Shoutout as well to the various `warp` implementations[1,2,3]. Instead of guessing, you set "warp points" so for your example you can do something like: >cd ~/Projects/someproject >wd add . some From then on you ca

Can I ask why exactly? I happen to be a dev (non-web), but honestly most big blog sites are a pretty bad experience. Full of ads, giant media banners, and irrelevant "related-articles" sections. Sure, Github's repo interface

Hey, thanks for doing this! I wonder, is there a way to get the book without leanpub? I’m not too keen on making an account to check out.

This is a huge problem for me. Still havent quite cracked it, but iOS Screen Time is helping a bit.

SoundHound would fit the bill.

Gave me some stuff to think about, thank you! It almost reads like a stoic philosophy of development, which is a pretty fresh idea in contrast to the steady stream of “hey look at this new super convenient tool/framework/lang we c

Ah I see, perhaps I was too quick to the draw. I haven’t heard the term “squabble index” before, and google returned zilch, but I like it. That being said, I tend to use the comments on HN as a filter for whether or not the article itself w

Cool site. Like a lot of folks here, I always appreciate things that are minimal and quick. However, I’d like to ask: 1) what, to you, makes HN annoying? In my experience it is already a very minimal, light, and quick site. What problem did
