sethjgore··on Wages in America Are Too Low for the 30% Rule to Work for Renters Anymore
Frankly the statistics do not feel right - I remember jobs that were easily found at $15 per hour in 2012 and cost of everything was insanely low. One bedroom / 750, McDonald burger, $1, McDonald soda $1, a pack of beer $7. Now eveything is easily double or triple and the basic jobs are still at $15.

Absolutely. Rackteering party and bureaucracy always finds themselves returning in all society until killed or thrown over.

Does median represent the normal anymore?

I would think greed is a luxury and always has been, more than a simple adobe and living alone.
sethjgore··on Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
ironically i posted the exact same quote before seeing your post. I've found that whatever work that can be counted as meaningful often also signifies a certain amount of agency that does not exist in a larger bureaucratic system.
sethjgore··on Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
Makes me think of this timeless and excellent quote by Oscar Wilde:

“The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.”

sethjgore··on Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
That's interesting! I have been using MX for years now (on my third one in 10 years I believe) and there's nothing else that I like. Could you explain what was the issue with the ergonomics? To me it's much better with its gesture features and such. Did you mean it as in wrist pain or?
sethjgore··on George Orwell Predicted the Rise of "AI Slop" in Nineteen Eighty-Four
Because the horror of dahl’s adult stories are as pervasive even if knowing the ending. I reread many times and still get the same sense of impending doom barbarically twisting fates in the mind - what if it was true?

Can you give an particular example?
sethjgore··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
I recommend protoarc split keyboards is you like split and FLAT. They’re so easy to travel with and charges via usbc. The best one I’ve had and I’ve had a number of split keyboards!
sethjgore··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
I recommend protoarc’s keyboards. They are the flattest and lightest and yet still ergonomic I’ve ever had and chargeable by USBC. It’s so easy to bring it with me even with a laptop in the backpack.
sethjgore··on Our efforts, in part, define us
One up for a6000! Definitely taught me the same things you mentioned. A great entry level camera.

What do you mean “visual debugger?”
sethjgore··on The booming, high-stakes arms race of airline safety videos
All I an say in this section is I was most intrigued when I was travelling across Europe on a long and complicated business journey. Turkish airlines (if I recall right, maroon uniforms) had a sign language video for both Turkish sign language and international sign language. I felt so elated and welcome at that moment. I felt at home. Somebody cared for people like me. I have not come across anybody else who has done the same job.

So what I have to say, yes, the measure of the effort what pretty much sums to entertainment and pseudo-psychology, speaks to the consumer masses who are worried when they jump on a plane filled with other 150~ish strangers.

sethjgore··on Apple fights to keep DOJ antitrust suit from reaching trial
I find that there’s always an option in accessibility settings to reduce the overall fanciness or anything that I find jarring on iOS. Here I believe settings > accessibility > reduce motion will apply.

Nevertheless it’s nowhere near the powerful experience that was palm OS when it was selling palm pre and the like

sethjgore··on The cochlear implant question
Been looking to connect with other signing engineers deaf or not! Seems you are one and you know others as well! Would love to connect. Dm me at contact at signsnap.me
sethjgore··on The cochlear implant question
I use sign language myself everyday.

Sign language is way more than just gesturing. I did not see read that link from the above post, regardless, gestures are fundamentally a semiotic expression of meaning with the body rather than speech.

Like sounds, one can create a basic Piercian sign, and build onto that sign.

I believe that sign language has the unfortunate implication of being composed exclusively of gesturing. The word “sign” is confusing as well, especially when “sign” signifies (pun intended) a set of commonly understood meanings in linguistics. Body language, gestures, manual expressions all are just parts that come together and become more than the total of sum parts.

I see spoken and sign languages as two different tools that can do similar job with different features and weaknesses. Like python vs go vs JavaScript.

Miles and miles of lawns Men worrying about leaves Thoughts drip in early morning Robot dog or rakes The smiling man Sits and knows To not is zen
sethjgore··on A Post-Google World?
I would think the sense of seamless integration contributes to the experience. Almost all third party software systems have integrations and plugins that make crossing over between Google suite and these near painless.

Obviously this would be solved if we had a way to centralize our identity and file storage and such across platforms and systems. Yet at the moment the silo is what makes it seems painless and increases its value beyond the fact there’s a substitute to each platform and product.

sethjgore··on Ask HN: Help me find spreadsheet software I found on HN
I've been trying to find this as well.. i remember it was tan-beige-gray canvas with connections between these, you could add formulas and even code inside these and generate results and variables which you could use in subsequent cells...
sethjgore··on In the gut's 'second brain,' key agents of health emerge
That is for certain! Some of my best days are often just one large early dinner, and nothing all day except lot of fluids and sleeping on six or seven hours. There's something synergetic about not sleeping way too much and not eating that awakens the inner "animal" and keeps the mind alert.
sethjgore··on AI is making it easier to create more noise, when all I want is good search
You have to be specific. It is surprisingly good when I asked it to respond like a software engineer expert then gave a very specific problem it spits out no issue
sethjgore··on “Open source” seeds loosen Big Ag’s grip on farmers
Absolute boon for “humanity” is a such abstract notion. The reality is that farmers are robbed and food we eat are way less nutrient dense, etc etc. boon…for whom?
sethjgore··on Ask HN: What is the best way to pay users?
not sure if they can do it but Mercury.com (online bank) allows for API access and wires that cost nothing. Might want to check out their APIs and see if you can do something like what you want to do abovee.
sethjgore··on Once an Addict, Always an Addict?
Check out the Sinclair method.
sethjgore··on Once an Addict, Always an Addict?
I suggest you mention the Sinclair Method to him. It has worked wonders for thousands who were addicted to alcohol. It is a cheap prescription that you take before drinking and over time people actually drink normally again since the brain is rearranged (the medicine takes away pleasure from the drinking). It might save his life or reduce his cravings.
sethjgore··on Previews of software updates designed for people with disabilities
Exactly! I am deaf and when I’m in an environment that’s fully signed, I cease to be disabled. Truly! And those who aren’t signing-aware in such environments become disabled language-wise.

sethjgore··on Against Alcohol
I recommend the same book! It helped a lot with my struggles when i was younger.
sethjgore··on Against Alcohol
I am not for any restrictions on any drug. That's puritanical, surely. However I am very much for BANNING all advertising from alcohol industry. Why do they need to market a drug that basically already sells itself via culture?
