I can't help but think this is the perfect way for an out of touch manager to justify staying out of touch. Maybe I'm not thinking of the right use case but personal interactions are something that are sorely missed in this day and age. Still a cool product!

My youngest daughter has CP and global traumatic brain injury from bacterial meningitis at birth. Its a brutal as it sounds. She is 2.5 and knows about 60 signs. This article warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Two thoughts: 1. Loneliness is real. Special needs children are often overlooked. Take the time to recognize them, let them know they are seen. 2. Someone should fund a jumbotron for this school.

This article completely brushes over the fact that not all children end up leaving the house. what about children with a lifetime of complex special needs. What should happen to those children and parents, is it even worth it?

well... now i know about C&C2 Yuri and habr... so there goes the rest of the quarter...this is dangerous in the wrong hands

When I was 9, I remember grabbing a handful of mini-M&M's from an information table at UCBerkley and we jumped in our rental van to start the family vacation out to the Grand Canyon. About 15 minutes later I couldn't see due to an aura. That was the beginning of my migraines.

In the spring of 2008, my dad go remarried to a Chocolatier - we don't talk a lot.

It wasn't until I was 26 that I found out about triptans. I had endured years of avoiding chocolate and racing to find the darkest room possible any time I felt so much as a tinge of an aura.

Today, any time we leave the house, I've got triptans and a bottle of Aleve ready to go. Thankfully I'm down to about 2 per year. This science is necessary and this article does a good job of highlighting how and why this topic has been glossed over for decades.

The picture gets even more complicated now that I have kids. both female and one with a traumatic brain injury as a result of bacterial meningitis at birth. I can barely comprehend about how she interprets the world on a daily basis. If she has migraines on top of that, I will be so thankful there are a wider set of options today than ever before.

Goadsby deserves to be celebrated!

I struggle with isolation at work. It really escalated during the pandemic. I run a small team and we're often isolated from everyone else, except the client in front of us at any moment in time. Most the work is indirect.

Coming back into the office, its a struggle to integrate back into a culture that, for me, appears to no longer exists. I'm trying to reconcile if this is my own doing, or if something else has changed. I look around and many of the faces in the back office are new. There's no love coming from the middle or front office or top brass.

To me, at this point in my life, I don't want to be monk. I want to feel like I belong, I want to feel like a valued member of a community. I've worked in financial technology and back office operations most of my career. I doubt I will find any of that in any back office these days.

Einstein spent the better part of three years wandering around the Princeton campus before he presented his theory on relativity. During that time he was mocked by his peers for not "working hard". In retrospect, Einstein noted the time he spent ambling the campus allowed him the space required to finish his postulation.

Focus on you. Don't look at the other animals in the cage to try and measure yourself.

my youngest is 2.5, a survivor of bacterial meningitis at birth, the results are tragic. she has soft tone cerebral palsy and cortical visual impairment, imagine being stuck in a kaleidoscope for life.

as part of my journey, trying find answer and heal. i stumbled across the fact that Microsoft's current CEO Satya Nadella son Zain is a legally blind quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. his book refers to the first few years of his sons life as "a dark place". Satya is fairly older than me, I admire him very much.

I have no doubt that it bring great joy and comfort to Satya that he's been able to drive Microsoft to be a leader in accessibility. Most great efforts have great stories. This is one of them.

15 year old me read this headline as - how to be a hacker - do everything they're warning you about in here

This reminds me of a reddit comment from /r/programmer humor - someone was correlating music styles to programming languages. They decided MSSQL was the equivalent of a 6th grade recorder recital. More power to them I say!

I've been on the data side for a long time and have always wanted to explore front end but the API mandate sure did make that learning curve difficult, but for good reason.

It would be ideal if someone could iterate the existing frameworks to step something like GraphQL to a full blown front to back SQL tool.

Anyone who says SQL perms are crap doesn't know what they're doing with perms. I agree something is going to have to eloquently add controls between front and back.

Very thoughtful piece.

The metaphor I've been using lately is that programming is like art. Anyone can doodle, it doesn't have to be anything more than a line on a page. But to paint a masterpiece, you're probably going to need to know the inner workings of some language. We don't spend enough time talking about the correlation between programming and the arts. The metaphor is extendable to all arts, like music - symphonies, harmonization, cadence etc. I think if we emphasize this more, we'd find another opening for people to go deeper than the doodle. I worry about lack of access to the arts, it degrades the opportunity for deeper and more meaningful computer programming for future generations.

This right here is the goods... only thing that would make this better is if it was a variable interest mortgage

This paradigm only works when looking strictly though the lens of a "software engineer". I like to think about computer science the same way I think about drugs. Excel is a great gateway drug. VBA, Python, powershell, SQL - now you're getting into the harder stuff. Pure C, scala, assembly - now you know that one guy on the east coast who makes the designer stuff, just the way Prince liked it. The question is how deep is your bottom, what you know about going down in the deep end?

When you're getting your face rearranged in one corner of the boxing ring, very often the body tries to naturally move to another corner.

Settlement cycles and market censorship are two separate things. It's on robinhood to make sure they can meet the same liquidity standards that banks have been "stress tested" for ever since 2008. Keep in mind that it wasn't 3 years ago where T+2 was just a dream.

Real time settlement is going to be driven by centrally governed organizations and their market counterparts (DTCC / SWIFT).

In America, indicating you are disabled is like painting a target on your back. This is why this article exists in the first place - it highlights the fact that Americans (and other undeveloped nations) basically follow nature. If someone is unfit to survive in their environment, then they will eventually end up being absorbed back into nature. The fallacy that I can't live with, is that some people try to pretend that there is a safety net.

I've got a 2 year old who is deaf / blind and has serious cognitive issues. Since me and my wife both do well in the game of capitalism - we are entitled to none of whatever "safety net" exists.

If you can survive without showing your disability, that's what works best in America. There are horror stories of people losing entire careers and there way of life - because they told their superior about the burdens of raising disabled children. Its better to hide these truths, everyone will have a better chance of survival.

I've had two law offices, with two separate sets of medical experts all tell me that this did not happen in the hospital. We live in a day and age where critical thought forces you to ask the next question. Well, then where did she get sick, and who was in charge. Sometimes it is that simple.

I've had the privilege of this experience twice, both girls. I'm 35

The first one, picture perfect. I could feel my body "go to battle" there was this sense of pride and drive. I felt like I was fulfilling a part of my life that was absolutely necessary.

The second one, we failed. Pre-mature by 3 weeks. Bacterial meningitis within 4 days of her being home. She's here with us now but she suffers from global sensory deficits, CP and retardation. It was the polar opposite of my first experience. Pure torture.

The biology of fatherhood is a powerful one, it can give - just as much as it can take. For anyone who's a father out there, without a connection to their child, especially a healthy one. You're missing out. For any fathers out there who have had to endure failure, you are not alone and those children need love too.

I really appreciate the time that was spent thinking about the user interface and how to be the most cost effective. Metadata is a key defining factor. I endued up getting a VCR with HDMI output and a video capture card. While it works well for the VHS, we also had one of those super8mini's - thankfully I found the camera a while back, looking forward to plugging those in soon. Thank you for sharing!
