c0ldf1ng3r··on Some Days I Can’t Do Life – When everyday life becomes a struggle (2020)
>>Reading this as a person with disability leave a bad taste in my mouth. I wonder what people like this would do if faced with a real lifelong challenge?

I "understand" your point, but you know, as a person who is dealing with depression my whole life i can tell you that depression can be a hard, real, lifelong challange too.

Disability is one of the hardest things to deal with in my opinion, but i learned that it is better to not assume anything about other people struggles. Something that looks small for you may seem unbearable and hard for others and vice versa.

c0ldf1ng3r··on Ask HN: Why did SpaceX choose to implement touchscreen controls on the Falcon 9?
I believe that the actual "moving" controllers are physical ones.

In terms of touch screens I'm not a person who has the actual knowledge why, but i can see two main advantages of such solution.

1. Less parts -> less failures. 2. It is easier to develop/update the interface, as you don't have to make physical changes to the layout with every iteration.
