> I think this wasn’t really much of an issue before Covid. Why is it now?

It was. The ADA was the result of an enormous amount of struggle and activism, and that movement continues to the present. Reach out to a local disability rights organization (I guarantee there's one near you) and ask if they had any concerns about office work before Covid. I'd also recommend the documentary Crip Camp if you're not familiar with this part of American history.

Edit: Here's an article from the start of the pandemic with lots of quotes relevant to your question. Sorry for the archive link, the site seems to be down right now.

> Watching these accommodations become available in a wide-spread way so quickly has been really painful. It hurts not only because I could have benefited from accommodations like this throughout my education, but because there are so many others who could have benefited, or were forced to drop out of school, or quit their jobs because their school or employer told them they were impossible to accommodate. These accommodations have always been possible but acknowledging that requires acknowledging the ableism behind their denial.

It's a quick read and it's very good, I recommend reading it. Most of the issues discussed could be most easily addressed by allowing full remote work. Also, many of the people quoted have "invisible disabilities" - you may have coworkers like them without realizing it. This isn't just about ramps and elevators and other common accommodations.

You seem to consider it a negative to spend time on comments. Why?
Pegging success solely to income is disingenuous. It's not the only measure of success, let alone the only "real and hard measure".

There are awards, patents, accomplishments, etc.

There are positive correlations between IQ and positive outcomes in general. Basically, take a metric of success and group people into it and you'll find people with higher IQs in the groups with better outcomes.

Even if you then slice those groups by other factors.

People don't just use C because it is the most fun to program in but because it offers a unique set of trade offs that no other language (even most C-replacements) hits.

It is based on a stable standard.

It is extremely portable and not in a target major platforms way - that is much better done in other languages - but in a being able to run on nearly every OS and hardware in existence. You can feasible port your C software to you weird hobby operating system.

It is simple enough that you could write your own compiler or at least something to bootstrap a proper one.

It is the Latin of programming languages. It is the common, cultural core we have. Nearly all bigger languages have some way to interact with C. If you want to write a library that can be easily used from any language, C is the way to go.

It is (relatively) fast too compile and creates binaries of minimal size that run at maximal performance. (Yes, you do make trade-offs in some of these aspects when using Rust or C++. Those trade-offs are worth it in many cases but let's don't pretend they don't exist. C serves as a performance gold standard for a reason.)

Yes, it is also a horrible language is many ways and should not be used for most projecs but the advantages can make all the difference for certain use cases. For projects like SQLite or Lua it was for sure the right choice to use C.

Recent burnout recoveree here, opinion: your company is unable to fix the problem for you.

The only way to fix it is for you to learn to actually Not Give A Fuck. If you are forced to, for example due to immigration or family reasons, then I don't have any useful advice, sorry :(. Otherwise keep your savings account at 6, 12, ideally 18 months worth of living expenses and don't worry about performance reports, unanswered emails, "failing" your coworkers, etc. Do about 50% of what you can actually deliver and ride along. I actually think this is also better for the company, because workloads expand and contract sort of naturally, so by keeping this margin of 50% you'll be able to handle tougher moments.

Once you get to a dark place: counseling (psychologist/psychiatrist), medication, taking 3+ months off - great stuff, can definitely recommend. Start with a visit to general practitioner.
I'm not so sure about that.. it certainly can, and in a lot of contexts it would all or almost all of the time; in other contexts it doesn't.

> There are tons of companies out there; it's going to be far easier to find one with a better match to you than trying to bend your existing company to your will.

No, it isn't. Businesses tend to play "follow the leader", so the ability to find a company offering substantially different work conditions is limited.

When facing a cartel, the solution is not "find an alternative". The idea of a cartel is to limit alternatives!
It is also not _basically_ the market, either.
Yes, _no model can_ is an important part. But what I was focusing on is that the cat is either alive or dead in the box and not both. Just because we can't tell doesn't mean that's not true. Particles are observers and the wave function is collapsed from the perspective of the cat, but not from our perspective where we can't measure. But people misunderstand this as the cat behaving in a quantum state, which isn't happening. People have also assumed "observer" means "human", when particles themselves are observers. Which is why the cat is actually in a classical state (either alive or dead, not both), because within that box the particles are interacting. The confusion comes because the analogy being misinterpreted (the analogy assumes a lot of things that can't actually happen because it is... an analogy and to understand it you really need to have a lot of other base knowledge to understand the assumptions being made).

I know how to write XML by hand. It's not hard. The reason I use Jekyll instead is because updating the RSS feed is something I might forget to do at all. Before I used Jekyll, it was a custom Perl 5 script, and if GitHub ever stops supporting Jekyll, that's what I'd move back to.

A well-designed SSG, like all of the ones I've used, will interlock[1] updating the feed and the HTML. You can't easily update one without updating the other, just like you have to go out of your way to open a microwave oven without also turning it off.

Agreed with the Atwood quote (not a fan of PHP myself; not a fan of Atwood, either). But I think you overestimate the approachability of PHP for non-technical users.

> Current solutions like Docker, Sandstorm, Cloudron, command line scripts etc. are "easy" for developers but not for ordinary users.

It sucks that Sandstorm didn't "win". But the implication here is that PHP is easy for "ordinary users". It's not, though. It's easy for a slice of the somewhat technical population at the low end of the technical spectrum. Ordinary people are still left out—and not to mention: susceptible/vulnerable to being lured by the false promises about the "easiness" of the PHP model. Unpatched installs of shoddily written PHP apps (or plugin-laden installs of WordPress) are an undeniable vector for potential security compromises of personal data, spam, and nodes use to coordinate the spread/execution of malware.
For the home tab to populate, you need to follow people. Mastodon doesn't push content you didn't ask for. I would recommend checking out the local and federated timelines and see what people are up to.
I just got an offer from Apple in a mixed HW/SW role (a role that I am allowed to perform remotely at my current company). They are offering me more money than my current employer, but their remote work policy is awful and their general benefits are meh (not many days off) so I am declining the offer. I know Apple would be amazing to work for especially for the team I interview for, but they are shooting themselves in the foot with these policies.

I wanted to use org mode hence started using eMacs. I tried the ‘vanilla emacs’ which didn’t click for me (spent time in the tutorial etc.)
Then I found spacemacs (and evil mode!) and that helped (as I have some vi experience!)

I have been spending a lot of time with Dawes Wilsons ‘SystemCrafters’ YT live sessions and other vlogs - that’s an awesome source for emacs (and more) knowledge, highly recommended!!!)

So now I’m finally crawling in emacs (org for note-taking and being the main driver, and magit soon to come…)
The site's theme makes code unreadable when the OS color scheme is Light: https://i.imgur.com/2Sduvye.png

this to me is a symptom of greed. It's people not wanting to pay for others efforts (possibly because they are not promoted or showcased or hidden) but they expect it for their efforts.

Not exactly. Even for PoS, there will be a threshold where it is not as profitable to be a validator, leading people to rebalance their ETH allocation.
Zelda Classic holds a special place in my heart.

My older brother downloaded it thinking it was just a Zelda 1 clone. I discovered it had a quest editor. And it was a very magical moment for me.

I spent hundreds of hours never completing any of my projects. It was the first online community I ever joined and actively participated in.

Eventually I yearned for for power and discovered Dark Basic. Now I’m a software dev.

Zelda Classic was a major spark in my life. And it’s a really cool piece of software. 100% original code, (obviously the default assets are lifted… from another project). It’s got to be a 20 year old project at this point.
Even if you did use Apache it’s FUD. It’s a very robust, well understood and documented technology.

> I'd argue that pattern recognition is basically the brain's most important job.

True, but I'd argue that there's little to no reason to think that this is innate, and that it can be trained. Doing these pattern recognition puzzles over and over again would make you very good at them.

There's probably enough material to write a whole article about it. I just thought it was funny how history repeats itself.
The question is, do you need motivation to move your projects ahead? Take notes of your goals, what you need to do, and break them down into smaller tasks. Remove the extra weight so you can push that thing thru the door. Don't over expect from yourself, take the writer's advice to write a few lines of code every day. If you can't do it for a week backup your project and do something else. You can always come back to your project later on. Don't get demotivated of not finding motivation.

Ok. Feel free to conduct that exercise in a context free mindset. But at a certain point litigants are just going to disagree on some fundamental aspect of reality. I can steelman young Earth creationism but that steelman now rests upon a foundation which assumes radio isotope dating doesn't work. Which I'm not going to accept. And I'm just not going to bother arguing the other aspects with that particular point thrown as a gimme.

So we can sit around looking at our lovely steelman like it's a yard sculpture but it really hasn't done us any good.

How would one determine what X and Y are?
Close. The data said that at the 125-130 range, there's nothing that you cannot do, mentally.

Basically, they tested people from all walks of life and they found that the skill with the highest threshold was about 125-130.

People with higher IQs may be able to do or learn things better or faster, but it's possible for anyone to achieve that level if they put in the work. IQ just tells you basically how much work it will take.
But it also can't be a real cat. Because if it was a real cat then the cat itself collapses the the wave function. Literally any particle interaction does. Really what is important here is that us being on the outside and in a different reference frame (we're assuming we can't do any measurements of things inside the box. Think information barrier) we can't obtain any definite prediction of the cat's state, only probabilistic. The information barrier is the important part here.

I'm looking for software that can manage the permissions of our developers in various environments, such as:

* AWS

* DBs (postgres RDS)

* k8s

Ideally it would be (within reason) easy to modify permissions and maintain, and provide a way for users with scant sysadmin/unix experience to retrieve their credentials. Our current way of manually terraforming just doesn't scale well enough for our needs.

Ask HN: How to prove my worth in job applications with weak resume
I graduated with a bachelor's of engineering in a top public school. I learned software in my first job, where for a few years I did enterprise Java, some basic SQL and basic frontend. It was definitely a large code base, just no fancy technology behind it. After that, I struggled to find a job and out of desperation accepted an application configuration developer position. Essentially, I work in the services side of the company, doing simple coding and configuration of the product for separate clients. I have always been very aware how this is a step back (even worse considering I didn't start very far ahead to begin with).

But every time I attempt to apply to jobs, I can't get them. I feel like I'm stuck. I feel most employers on the Who's Hiring thread (or anywhere else) probably look at my resume and not see me aligning anywhere close to their requirements. Which I would probably agree to. But at this point I'm also somewhere close to 10 years into my career, so I'm definitely not a junior. I feel like the only jobs I will be able to get are similar to what I've had: basic web developer, not tackling any interesting problems, little potential for growth, and if I'm lucky maybe using some modern technology.

I really just want a job that is willing to accept that I don't have their requirements, but them being okay to letting me pick it up on the job. More than anything, I want to grow my career. I want to work somewhere challenging, where I can problem solve and learn. I am not a bad software developer. If anything, I'm quick to learn and will always end up being the subject matter expert of what I'm working on. I like computer science, which is why I'm also currently enrolled in a computer science masters. I know I'm not dumb. I just don't know how to prove my worth to companies when applying.

Any advice will be very appreciated

> Body language helps with basic things like "Oh, Amy is trying to break in and is struggling to make her point", or "Hmm, Doug looks like he's concerned about something, I should ask him his opinion".

I'm autistic. My body language conveys things that are interpreted incorrectly by nearly everyone, particularly in management. This leads to me having to explain repeatedly that no, that's not what I'm experiencing at all, please stop.

When people don't get those cues from me, they understand me better, not worse.
