If we are being absolutely honest, no, making your MVP comply with all of the accessibility guidelines before going live is not worth the effort. Given that most sites/projects/startups end up shutting down early-on, the odds that your project will end up being used by anyone with significant impairments is very low from the start. I believe medium to large size businesses should absolutely accommodate for accessibility, but the burden is really high and the benefit is really low for smaller services.

All this being said, the cottage industry of lawyers going around suing people for ADA violations is significant and something to be aware of. What I would suggest is that you do the bare minimum of accessibility accommodation, based on your jurisdiction, and only look into adding more accommodations as you grow and scale.

Edit: It makes sense to give alt text for images, use good contrast, and to follow best practices for UI/UX. See what the major complaint(s) are against your friend and try to avoid that for the time being. In essence, don't feel compelled to pay a consultant thousands of dollars for an amount of accessibility that is overkill at this stage.

Lastly, what I wrote sounded harsh, and I really do wish you the best. I would hate to have you spend thousands on premature accessibility and potentially lose the ability to fund something else that might help your project. Best of luck.

Gilead COVID drug takes top spot for U.S. hospital spending – report
What I think you may be missing is the unspoken underlying reality that with smaller government invariably comes more "efficient" government because you have removed the inefficiencies that are inherent to any unbounded system.

It is a challenge of human nature to restrain excessive and extremely inefficient behaviors when there are excesses of resources available to be squandered.

I have extensive experience in and with the US government at very high levels, as well as European governments. And although it really does not require my perspective, it has become exceedingly apparent to me over the years that the biggest problem of the size of government is that it breaches the bounds of human cognition. What I mean by that is that, to simplify it, people are put in charge of not only spending money that is not theirs and there is no accountability for it, and they are even compelled to get rid of it as fast a possible, but they also have essentially zero ability to, e.g., differentiate between thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, billions of dollars, or trillions of dollars because they are just numbers on paper/screen.

Think of it this way, do you think of run-on implications of naming a var 1000 vs 10000000000? No, you don't, it's just adding abstracted and inconsequential numbers in most cases. The impact is extremely minimal. I realize that is a simplification, but when you have seen it happen and have been part of it as often and consistently as I have it becomes a whole different thing to understand. And that does not even touch on the massive incentives to not only not care about frittering away and squandering money, but being incentivized to do so because you are making yourself or friends and a network that will benefit you rich ... again, with other people's money, i.e., theft.

It really is little more than if a gang were to break into your house and were able to steal most of your life savings, with impunity and kept doing it. Do you think they would be prudent and thrifty with that money, or blow it on partying, excess, and paying off others?

THAT is why people are against "large government", because only small government even has the potential to be "efficient".
> There are people still on HackerNews right now, who were back then talking about overreactions, and it just being a flu,

What? It just being a flu is an argument that I only seen from anti-vax... never been a thing here but would be happy to be proven wrong.

> and that masks promote xenophobia and do nothing.

Never seen this also, could you show me? The best I have seen in the past was that a mask in the wrong hands do no good, which is true when you need 100x more mask than you got, which was the case at the time.

> you want to mandate a treatment for non-at-risk people, which can give them permanent damage or even cause death.

I'm curious how you define non-at-risk people too? Covid was not a risk for them but vaccine was? That's weird how the virus works ;). Whatever you fear from the vaccine, you can fear the same from the virus... except that from the virus, the numbers are incredibly much worse. Why would we use the vaccine if that wasn't the case? We would be stuck with the exact same issues.
Just wow. This is so cool!

I watched your presentation some years ago when you first demoed Phoenix LiveView. I think I and all my work buddies put our personal projects on hold waiting for a beta to come out so we could play with it! It's been fun to see this project mature so well.

Are the things happening with this little project here or with LiveBook what you had in mind when you made LiveView? Or have projects more manifested themselves as you've been able to prove out the capabilities of LiveView?

Anyway, thanks for making web development fun again!
I don't know if it was just me or the theater I was in but I felt like some of the effects in Dune were second rate. Was a bit disappointed, especially during desert scenes. I wish I could think of a counterexample of good CGI from modern cinema. Actually, I remember certain parts of Interstellar, for example the black hole and the 5-dimensional book shelf, were really well done. I think I was able to suspend my disbelief and just have my mind blown by them.
Not all, but a lot of them, but they also couch this specifically as a reference to... mostly Return of the Jedi, many shots contain puppets or stop motion animation that is actually shot at a lower framerate to play up the unreality.
I use this service as a shredder for most of the correspondence/bills from the City of Toronto (utility bills etc). From their website:

You will continue to receive your interim, final and/or supplementary/omitted property tax and utility bills through epost™ until which time the service is discontinued. Property Tax Account Statements, Transfer to Tax, Final Notice, and correspondence will continue to be mailed through traditional mail delivery service.

I guess they'll start sending my bills via the physical mail system? It's a regression.
There's so many angles to politics. It sounds reasonable that a Senator with prior expertise and personal enthusiasm will push forward a bill more than one without the background. OTOH, it's all backroom deals and negotiations anyway, isn't it?

My fear is that this targeted advance on right-to-repair will mean fading support as specific groups get what they want/need.

Here is how things work in the US. Sarcastic tone in my reply…

Round one: this is great

Hardware equipment for farmers (funded by John Deere and Caterpillar) lobbyists hard at work.

Round two: here is a water down version

Lobbyists “discover” that there is a risk of sudden death if a farmer accidentally connects two very potential wires…
Lobbyists "do more highly paid” work with unions, OSHA, worker’s compensation insurance companies.

Round three: warranty denied, worker’s compensation denied if worker (the word farmer has been deleted) fix anything that presents a risk of electrocution, or could physically harm the worker or co-workers

Hardware??? Apple & Co. lobbyists jump into the action

Bill is killed. Not enough support at the Senate. The people have spoken.
Barely audible, you have to have your ear <1ft from it to hear the hum.

> He's saying that CGI, despite decades of progress, seem _fake_ in a way that subtly destroys our sense of immersion

True, though many older movies without CGI also had terrible special effects the killed "suspension of disbelief". Comparing to just the best isn't really fair, unless the assumption is that all CGI is done poorly.
Rather than declaring it yourself every time, there is an @types/node you can install with all of the Node-specific types including process.env:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/node

(ETA: It's mentioned in the StackOverflow and they still add an extra definition on top of it, but the env in the types today is a Record and you don't have to do it, you just won't get auto-completion on the names.)
Yes.

I’m not claiming that NPIs are useless. I’m saying that half an NPI may be vastly less than half as effective. I think the OP can speak for itself.
> Singapore is a one-party police state with zero press freedom and a poor track record of respecting human rights (being gay is still illegal).

"Being gay" is largely a western obsession. Different cultures have their attitude towards it (as they should). Polygamy is banned in the US and many western nations and accepted in many parts of the world, nobody argues it is a human rights issue.

Let the Singaporeans be.
Hopefully that will encourage Japanese expats living in the EEA and UK to push for equally good data protection laws back in Japan.

I like to believe that it's because matter protocol is on its way, so hardware isn't being developed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_(standard)

But, I think it's actually because wifi is easier for the average person to get working. With Zigbee, you need a Zigbee hub, but sometimes you need a brand specific Zigbee hub, sometimes you don't (even though it's advertised that you do), and sometimes the Zigbee compliance is so bad that adding a device from another vendor break your whole Zigbee network (looking at you Aquara). Zwave throws more incompatible hubs to the mix. And, even within these, it's rare to have devices work with each other in a way that makes sense.

Hopefully matter saves us, so I don't have to install 5 integrations in Home Assistant to remind me that my car isn't plugged in at night or my back window is open, while the heater is on, and then another to make any of it accessible to HomeKit.

Have you considered a dedicated writing machine? The AlphaSmart Neo2 is well regarded as a distractionless writing machine. They don't seem too hard to find.

Otherwise, if you really want vim and emacs, you might consider trying to put something together that can be always on. S3 sleep is low latency, and can be lowish power. Or get an early x86 chromebook and boot to freedos; chromebook because the firmware is small and doesn't do much; x86 because software compatability; early because the earlier ones are easier to run 3rd party firmware on for better use of non chrome OS; freedos because it's small and fast to start (assuming it supports the chromebook keyboard anyway).

It's easy to accuse North Korea. They can't practically respond to the accusations because they have no outlet anyone reads, and if anyone did then nobody would care anyway.
Lots of good advice. However, I feel that in recent years a certain kind of professionalism is in decline that I begin to miss. It is the culture of professionalism in which personal care is not being conflated with professional care. This article is partly engaging in this conflation.

Caring about co-worker's weekends and "rudeness, bullying, demeaning comments, and insults" are not values on the same dimension. Neither are "compassionate" and "critical" code reviews. I do not want people to see me on a slope leading to misconduct just because I don't care about their weekends or show compassion in my code reviews. I really wished that these things were kept apart.
Your account has unfortunately been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's not allowed here, regardless of your politics or ideology. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for, so we ban accounts that do it. We've already had to warn you about this multiple times before.

Can you elaborate and give some history? What code did you contribute, and how did it end up being used by Microsoft and then DeepMind?
When I used to be in middle school decades ago, I discovered what wonderful tool an English dictionary is. My first dictionary was an Oxford English Dictionary that I inherited from my father, originally published in the 1960s. It had the words, some funny looking alphabet which I later understood was the Phonetic Alphabet, various meanings, synonyms, antonyms and examples of use in sentences.

For someone who is intending to build a pronunciation checker, I would start with the words and their International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) equivalent. With today's text-to-speech technology and machine learning algorithms, going from voice to IPA and vice versa should be quick.

Once you have that for words, you could build on it to add evaluation of vocabulary, grammar, sentences etc., A lot of it is around assembling the data and collating training data sets, imo.

Cool project!

Agree very much, and that's really the triumph of a movie like Jurassic Park— judicious, minimal use of CGI supplemented by lots of practical puppet work, miniatures, etc.

Before that wired headphones were "stupid looking" and endlessly mocked. Before that, boom boxes.

In all cases, I think it was more the “look how I’m more interested in my own world than in people around me” than the actual looks of the device.

Possibly, the fact that early portable tech typically is fairly impractical (for example in battery life or in base ergonomics) added to that.
It's great video essay from Rocket Jump. Best quote - "You think CGI is bad because you only see bad CGI"

There's no indicator for how long the queue is, so a match could happen at any time. The serif font, lack of sentence capitalization, and repeating stock photos of the espresso cup also create an emotional atmosphere reminiscent of the SCP Foundation and nosleep fictional horror stories involving the exploration of the internet.

It’s a little ridiculous to have to trick myself into believing in my own work, and even more ridiculous that I can be tricked so simply, like a child enraptured at a magic act. But creative output of any kind depends upon a steady stream of tiny self-delusions — guardrails to keep yourself from veering into a pit of self-doubt and despair.

Similarly, I automatically believe your math 50% more if you typeset your document in Computer Modern. I know this is nonsense, but it's true nonetheless.
I had another experience. I had the experience that everything was there (checkbox style), but seemed to miss the gravitas. Or maybe I was just mad that they didn't include the dinner party scene...which was pivotal to the story because it gave the reader the sense that there WAS hope, that the game was just starting...and only THEN betrayal. but that's what you get for being a fan.

Loved your comment.

I also (truly) enjoyed the Iliad. It is rich with appreciable association.

Having studied english lit in college, I guess I feel betrayed by works like Ulysses. On some level I feel I was promised that immersing myself in the canon to the extent that I could enjoy such a text in the way you described would give me a richer way to perceive reality/life/humanity/whatever. I believe that such is the case with works like the Iliad, the Pentateuch, etc... but for Ulysses, it felt less like connecting myself with more of reality and more like binding myself to the narcissistic culture of literary fiction.
I tried four of these chats.

The first just rambled about how much PHP sucks and how great Postgres is, for no apparent reason.

The second touted how amazing Kubernetes is, and then asked if I could help them configure it for their small project.

The third went on a long rant about how they could build Zoom as a weekend MVP.

The fourth tried to explain how we should run the entire world on SQLite.
Isn't embedded a big piece of RISC-V? How important is portability? And that being said, why have a software implementation anyway? Doesn't that risk destroying performance in unexpected ways?
The cost of labor will continue to rise while the cost of CGI will continue to go down. We will see more and more CGI until the cost of labor decreases relative to the cost of making movies.

One thing that isn't accounted for is that as far as digital assets go, they are, for all intents and purposes, immutable, immortal, and more liquid (and counted as CapEx rather than OpEx). A prop from Alien might still be around in basically the same condition as it was made; the little fake CGI gun model and CGI Yoda will always be there; it doesn't matter what the actors or prop-makers want or don't want. It gives the studios more leverage.
Indeed. this is completely correct. In my hobby woodworking business in 2019, I made a $45k wall all out of CNC machined mahogany. It was patterned, and 2" thick. The design, Machining, install, and finishing took months. it was >$5k in raw material in wood, not counting the costs of fasteners, sub-wall, finishes, etc. Labor made up the bulk of the costs, though.

Every part of that house in seacliff was following that mantra. Exceptional attention to detail, independent craftsmen contributing special pieces, and carefully selected design language. It was cool to work on it.

Even as the lead person on creating that, I can't afford to replicate it in my own house. And my house isn't cheap. Its just not practical, and short of doing the whole house as an exercise in design and craftsmanship you just can't get the return on those things vs drywall.

minimal use of CGI? Have you looked into the netflix series "behind the scenes"?
Drivers who don't maintain a constant speed on the expressway are one of my pet peeves. Using cruise control is a simple fix to this.

The worst drivers are "booger cars" - they maintain the same speed as you in the adjacent lane with their front bumper roughly adjacent to your rear bumper. I call them "booger cars" because, if you try to get them to stop sticking to you by speeding up or slowing down, they just match your speed. About the only way to get rid of them is to "rub them off" by passing a slower vehicle that is in their lane, breaking their fixation on your car.
