So you're saying the pay is poor, and your coworkers deliberately fuck you over for their own gains. That pretty much sounds like a job you should stay away from by any cost. Do something else, something productive that doesnt lead t

No matter what I try, I always get: heap-lisp: heap-lisp.c:99: cons: Assertion `istext(textptr)' failed. I wonder if the ptr comparison in istext is actually UB?

Because it is waaaay easier to bully minorities, esp. in democracies? If you take something away from the majority, you run a huge risk of loosing in the next election...

I always wonder about the heroin comparison. I just doesn't check out for me. Feels inappropriate. Heroin has pretty pronounced withdrawal symptoms, which are (AIUI) mostly physical withdrawal. At least from personal experience, ni

I am not so sure about that. The modern web has become complicated/unusable enough that I can see a lot of people prefering a chat interface over having to click through this unholy mess. I might be biased, as I have to deal with acc

You just discovered the (capitalist) idea of growth... Any management of a big corp not going for the seemingly endless growth idea is going to be fired by their shareholders pretty quick.

I am assuming you have no good alternatives regarding your gym? Because if you feel uncomfortable with the behaviour of the owners, you should really vote with your wallet.

Good to know you reside on the other side of the planet. I wouldnt want to meet you in public under any circumstances. So much entitlement and disregard for other people is sickening.

My theory is that those "you just have to accept it" people are unwilling or unable to confront their own wrongdoing. Out of principle, and also triggered by the recent "AI uses all data available" situation I've t

No need to jump on the latest buzzwords, doing science. I remember this kind of study has already been done with married/unmarried peope, with basically a similar result. The explanation they gave back then was pretty logical: If you

The age of adoption seems crucial to rule out early childhood trauma induced by the parents. I actually know mine, although it took me 35 years to get my mother to admit what happened. My point, I am very skeptical when it comes to parent

(How) did they control for parental influence vs. genetic heritability? I grew up with a pathologically anxious mother. I still remember having to counteract her behaviour to avoid it leaking into my world, before I managed to move out.

Well, Sun Accessibility Office already did great work from roughly 2003 to 2008. Then came 2008. And Sun AND IBM terminated their Accessibility work. From then on, Orca was basically kept alive by a single developer for roughly a decad

The rhetoric in this thread is generally laden with patronisation. I know that phenomenon as a person with a disability. Left leaning people are quick to speak for me and try to patronize on my situation. It is, frankly, plain virtue sig

Open Source Accessibility isn't sustainable right now. How on earth do you imagine open medical hardware to ever reach a level where it is generally useful to people with disabilities? In general, I find the negativity in this whole t
