Injured skiing? Absolutely, and if you race it's a question of when, not if. But I was responding to a claim about deaths.

For the last decade, every ski trip I've done has required either 4+ hours of driving or a cross-country plane trip. Add in the fact that much of that driving is on icy, narrow mountain roads in storm conditions, and the stats that other people shared make it clear that driving is the bigger risk to me.
Not everyone has a "one click build" process.

The images run on the machines might be binaries licensed from vendors which are ARM. Have fun calling every vendor and saying "Yeah, I know you completed your contract with us 4 years ago, but would you mind recompiling the whole project as x64?".
And yet, I still have trouble running normal software that was built for Linux, on Linux.

Every set of updates might cause a problem that I've never seen on Windows or a Mac. I had an Ubuntu machine that only lasted 2 weeks before it wouldn't boot one day after an update. Never figured that one out - it was an experiment to see how much easier Manjaro was to setup and add software to than Ubuntu. (The answer: it's much, much easier.)

I had a professor in university who was blind.

To this day, I'm amazed at how I could read code to him, and he's spot where the mistake was.

He coded with a screen reader. AFAIK, accessibility on Linux is pretty poor in general (I'm a fan of Linux, but I get the impression that's the truth), so you might want to consider well what you main OS will be.

Frontend might be tough -- but then, you're a perfect candidate to give feedback on website accessibility. There might be a career there if well-planned.
Indeed. I'd further say that remote work can benefit those occupations that cannot work remotely!

If we imagine that a large percentage of the population doing work that can be done from home is doing so, there will be less traffic on the roads, more time for people to go down to their local coffee shop or restaurant to grab a bite, more real estate for non-WFH companies to rent (possibly with lower costs), or even office buildings that could be converted into habitation (and thus allowing the people whose work has physical components to live closer and lessen their commutes).

Not to mention pollution, quality of life, and a healthier society. Sure, it's not a monumental impact at a global level, but I'd count it as a positive change for the most part.

We did Carnival few years ago. It was a first for me. My wife and her family went on multiple vacations like that. Do not get me wrong. Our time was pleasant. That said, I talked with some of the workers there and it is no wonder the cruises are as cheap as they are. Cheap labor will do that. I am genuinely curious if the more expensive variations rely less on tax avoidance/evasion ( whichever was the legal one ) and cheap labor.

Stop testing individuals and start testing populations. That's the only way to know what is happening. That is the only way to start controlling the epidemic instead of just guessing.
I think your use of the term "braille reader" might be causing some confusion. I know you use brltty. But do you use its text-to-speech output, or do you use a refreshable braille device that moves little pins up and down to form braille cells? If the former, I'd suggest referring to brltty as a screen reader.

Also, do you run brltty on a Linux text console, or in a terminal window in your Sway session?
I was scared of this kind of thing.. but when i have done it its actually way less harmful than expected.

i am just honest with people and say i have not read their email or whatever, they tend not to mind that much.. as long as the things i say i will do get done.

IMHO most need for constant communication is just tight coupling manifest in business logic i.e. bad design that needs addressing.

When you can also follow up accusations of slacking with wasted clock cycle discussions its also handy (e.g. i tend to use toggl excessively if i think there is any chance of questioning my motives.. then i can switch to the always connected version of me they are asking for and show just how much time it wastes)
The Coronavirus Closes Borders
My point was not about the validity of psychedelic experiences.

It was about the fact that we have outright banned all avenues of research into these alterations in consciousness so we can't even find out if there are reproducible effects across individuals. If you did care about scientific inquiry and reproducibility then you would also be against these absurd restrictions.

Because of this self-imposed ignorance we're just now beginning to see that psychedelics and other psychoactives can be used to treat a variety of psychological afflictions. I don't think you grasp how important it is to have access to compounds that can produce fundamental alterations to our conscious perception that take effect immediately, have few to no side effects and are completely reversible. Only TDCS and TMS have come anywhere close to that and their effects are nowhere near as powerful or significant.

This isn't about taking a break from reality, doing some yoga, and instagramming your latest shower thought. It's being able to pry open the black box of your own consciousness and poking around inside to see what happens without the necessity of brain surgery and risk of permanent physical or mental disability.

By the way "subjective consciousness computers" sounds about as accurate as "4 dimensional tetrahedron rotating through time". Both are little better than word salad with only tenuous connection to the things they're attempting to describe.

You have three meetings a week that can sometimes last two and a half hours in the middle of the night and no one on your team sees that as an issue?!

The key to making big timezone differences work is to make communication as asynchronous as possible and where that can't be done make it as humane as possible. Clearly these meetings can be scheduled in times where both sides should naturally be awake. I work from Iceland with people on the East and West Coast so about the same time difference and I'm mostly in meetings in the early evening although nothing so epicly long. Your colleagues could be doing the same. We also alternate so some are early morning for them and afternoon for me.

For people getting blocked it really depends on what it is but for the most part I do as you do and park what I'm working on and get on with something else. If it's something simple that can be fixed with a bit of back and forth I'd try pre-empting these issues (e.g. are you just being used as a really expensive form of live documentation).
Definitely checkout emacspeak.
If someone is offering 50m/year then surely the most qualified candidates would compete for that job and treat the 10m/year offer as a backup plan. Meaning you wouldn’t get the best people. As for governments and non-profits: they don’t get the best people, either, unless those people are personally motivated by the mission in a way that is unlikely in a commercial setting.

Newly Remote Workers Need Peer Coaching
I didn't check all of the states that are under $1, but here in NY all of the locations listed that are under $1 are Indian Reservations. Reservations here sell gas, and cigarettes (and a bunch of other stuff) without the state/federal taxes, so it's way WAY cheaper. I assume this is the same in all states?

In my area it's still around $2/gallon. I'm not close enough to a reservation to bother making the drive, but many people (especially smokers) make regular drives to get gas and smokes.

It's difficult for me to give a true assessment of what remote work would be like in normal times. Since I live alone and social events are cancelled I feel like I'm craving social contact and definitely missing that aspect of work. I also don't have any space in my apartment to work from so I'm set up on the kitchen table.

I do wonder if the exceptional circumstances of the current sudden shift to remote (lack of other human contact, unplanned setups at home) will cause a backlash against remote work.

I've seen a few threads about local gas prices in some of the less degreed, bluer collar and more rural filter bubbles I'm a part of. Everyone reporting super low prices is either a stone's throw from the refining infrastructure or buying on a reservation. Most people seem to be paying $2+/- $0.50 as of a few days ago.

Edit: changed my wording because apparently some of you would rather have me tiptoe around the differences between HN and the general population.
I recently found out that my mini-ITX PC case (the EVGA Hadron) can actually support a larger motherboard with minimal modifications. That means more PCI-e slots, more RAM slots, more storage connectivity, and better I/O. It's making me excited about eventually building in the same case!
I'm perfectly ok with some games not running as well as Windows, or not even running at all, in particular if I could also play them on console. I was more worried that Proton would not work reliably with streaming at all because it has to go through all these hoops to get an image on the screen in the first place. But it seems this is possible, which is great.

Games with anti-cheat not working doesn't bother me either as I don't play any games online anyway. So the intersection between 'games I play' and 'games that need anti-cheat' is very small ;-)
You are right. I suppose I am too loose with my understanding of action as a byproduct of external influence versus direct sponsorship. As an example, the former would be a vague cultural sublimation of influence from a position of power, and the latter would be an immediate demand from a position of power.

One recent (well, not recent, it's been like 6 months) issue is that after about 1h30min-1h50min the sound from the PC (XFCE Manjaro) corrupts (starts to crackle and gets worse until unbearable). The only fix I have been able to come up with so far, is to cut the connection to steam link, reset pulseaudio and reconnect to the steam link.
Very annoying issue that's being discussed on Github, but not necessarily addressed, as it's probably very hard to triage.

I tried moving my services to them, during sign up they asked for a scan of my ID and before I could even send it, I got banned "irreversibly" and without a explicitly said reason.

I would not judge people for not having children. And plenty people should not have children - those who have tendency to be abusive and so on.

But I also think that many people expect/require too much of parents and parenting. It does not have to be and should not be insummortable all encompassing responsibility for average person. It does not have to be as isolating as it is and should not be.

These are doing of the way our society is structured, not something inherent to parenting.

Should Microsoft include janitors and good service workers who have long been outsourced, if they were ever employees at all? Security guards? Delivery people? The barista at the Starbucks nearby?

This sounds like a law that would the courts would have a hard time enforcing, because companies and their employees depend on a wide variety of resources these days.
I can't comment on the test itself, but there is a wider point here: don't test individuals, test populations.

Most countries are only testing people who arrive at hospital with serious conditions (and billionaires and nba players!?). That's pointless because the treatment is the same whether they have COVID-19 or some other respiratory infection.

If we tested populations and did so regularly, you would know whether lockdown was working, whether you could afford to partly lift it and how and when to reinstate it.

Right now, we are all sitting at home with no idea if this is working or not. In a few weeks, we will start roping thing with no idea whether that is a good idea or not. We'll just guess.

Scientists Explore Underwater Quantum Links for Submarines
Forget crime, sickness, and the like. Let's look at stagnating wages [0] in the face of spiraling education, healthcare, and housing costs; anthropogenic climate change (which even the oil companies have known about since 1977) [1]; and the continuing trend of corporations being allowed to socialize losses while privatizing profits. Having children is also one of the worst things an individual can do in terms of carbon footprint. [2]

Children are expensive, even in the best case. I don't have a source for this one offhand, but, I seem to recall that the median cost of day care in the Bay Area today is around $2k/month, which is a significant sum even for someone on a software engineer's salary. [3] As the article mentioned, having a special needs child can absolutely annihilate a family's finances.

My GF and I have been together long enough to have this discussion, and we decided against children. We'd be jeopardizing both our retirements, bringing a new life into a world that's looking worse and worse by the day, and adding to the problem, all at once.

To be honest, that is my main problem.

I know that i can develop much longer then i'm actually doing.

The biggest issue for me with procrastination is not pushing every single thing until i really have to do it but that my idea of myself feels that i can do more than i'm doing.

I spend plenty of hours coding from 16-6 when i was 16 and learning php. I have plenty of experiences where i did not just stop.

The most visible to me is it with something new like a new job or task: First few weeks in a new job is great. I do a lot, i'm quite productive.

And the other thing is: If i really only can do 2-4h real development and then i need a break, i definitly don't need a break of 20h. So how to get back to it without that 20h break?

That is definitely a great way to kick start automation initiatives. Making janitors really expensive to hire means that you either have highly paid (less likely) or janitor robots (more likely). There are lots of opportunities for this in food service as well. This would have a huge side effect of accelerating the robotics industry.

I really don't know what to expect for remote work in the future. The current trap is to think that we are currently doing remove work. We are not, we're doing remote work in a very unusual setup. Kids and partners are at home with us, we can't really leave our house, etc. This is not real WFH.

Additionally, a lot of companies were pushed into that almost over night without preparing for it. No experience with it, no tooling in place, no processes, etc. Maybe a lot of them experienced some loss in productivity due to that and will just conclude that remove work really isn't for them, it sucks.

The 2 things I really hope for:
* people experiencing a personal boost in productivity and better quality of life (mostly due to not having to commute) will be vocal about not going back to the "old ways"
* companies claiming that "proper work/collaboration can only happen in the office" will finally change their tune and end the hypocrisy. When forced to do it, they somehow found a way. Maybe it's time to final end this charade. Especially in tech, the work that can only happen in an office is so marginal.
