Using a Kindle isn't the same experience for small children as being able to pick up a book and either flip through it or have a parent read it to them.

I used to check the front page about twice a day and the newest section anywhere from one to ten times a day depending on how busy I am. Now I've set up phihole to automatically block HN during my workday, so I don't spend too muc

The only thing that would have made this submission better is if the user submitting it had JCL as their username.

For me the difference between now and Syria is when Syria started, I'd see one or two stories a day in the AP when I checked the news. I didn't frequent HN so can't speak to if it was constantly on the news. I realize a lot o

We've had nuclear weapons for less than 100 years which is nothing in history. Based on that the Roman Empire never should have fallen. If it made it 100 years, why not 150000 instead of 400ish?

I read The world in brief by the Economist. If I try to keep up with details in real time it causes me to start doomscrolling.

IN my experience pull requests were not a thing in Subversion. We would attach patch files to Jira for code reviews. Git allowed for much easier workflow with merging branches instead of directly applying patches to trunk. This probably has

"around three days in the office is what they want from employees." This article is pretty employer focused. What to the employees want? According to the article Salesforce has employees working in the office one to three days a w

This looks interesting and I'm glad to see that people are not viewing SCM as a solved issue. While I don't think I'd use this on professional projects yet I'm interested at looking at this for personal projects since I

What would a basic home Wi-Fi network with two access points, a router, and a switch look like? I attempted to figure this out since I wanted to set up a network with multiple VLANs to separate work machines, IOT devices, and trusted device

As someone who's totally blind don't switch to Emacspeak. It may have been worth fighting with in the late 90's or early 2000s' before Web 2.0 and when accessibility for major software programs was generally poorer but n

As someone who's totally blind now that WSL2 exists I'm done fighting with Linux accessibility. WSL2 with the VSCode integration gives me a good GUI IDE and I can use the command-line for anything else I need.

Speaking as someone who was born blind Braille may not be worth using if you went blind later in life. I was forced to use it heavily until about 10 or 11 in spite of the fact that I wanted to use text to speech since it's quicker. It

I was born blind, so this is just my experience interacting with others who lost their vision later in life. It's likely your friend will want to focus more on counseling and therapy to adjust to the fact that they will be totally blin

With two small kids I'd much rather have 5/8 instead of 4/10 so I can spend more time with them every day. I don't know how I feel about 4/9.

Have children, when they get old enough, they will yell "No phones in school" while there playing with you. THis probably means I shouldn't spend as much time on my phone either.

The only news I pay for is The Economist. I like the fact that there's a short daily summary of news and a weekly addition. While I realize articles are released daily, I like the fact that I can read the weekly addition over the weeke

I would have made it a point to work out on a regular basis. I participated in sports in high school. Although I was not good enough to compete in college I could have continued to lift weights. It took me a good five years after graduation

As a Voiceover user this is disappointing. If the law changes to allow third party app stores or side loading this is the app that would convince me to go down that road.

Maybe there's going to be new AI specific hardware on new Mainframe processors or AI accelerators in the future that will require z/OS 2.5 to run but they are not ready to announce the hardware? I think buzzwords is more likely th

Unless you have a very specific medical reason I've never heard of it's an option, you are just chosing not to take it.

If your solution is to assume everyone else will get the vaccine accept for blind people because the websites are inaccessible when are you going to pass laws mandating the vaccine? With out these laws we may never reach true heard immunity

I'm a totally blind software developer. I used two sites to sign up for a vaccine. The first site was a covid vaccine specific website. I was unable to use it with my screen reader. I can't remember the exact issue but it was some

That seems reasonable to me if you require heavy integration test coverage. I work on several applications. The ones that are message driven and don't require a database have test suites that run in a couple minutes. The one that has a

I think the initial language doesn't matter all that much as long as you can get interest in programming and have some structure to break you of any bad habits after you first start. I taught my self to program with GW Basic and goto s

As a totally blind back-end developer I'm sure I'd be one of those people. If I'm doing accessibility testing for development tools my thoughts are probably worth while. If I'm doing accessibility testing for a bank my t

Can we just stop using Twitter to post hot takes with no context? There's a big difference between a two-person team made up of white men and a 100-person engineering team made up of 98 men 95 of whom are white.
