I'm going to preface the following with the fact that I'm not an accessibility expert and accessibility is not a field I'm interested in. With out more info on the software it's impossible to give specific suggestions. For a tool that produces structured diagrams such as flow charts a way to move from node to node with arrow keys and have announcements on what connects to what would be a good way for me to read flow charts with out being able to look at them with my eyes. If your creating a color matching game for two year olds I can't think of any reasonable way to make it accessible. Other people may argue the game should announce colors and have a mode to pick them based on words only but at that point your starting to write a completely separate game.
I highly doubt I'll ever get a job at Google but that's good to know. I use VS code as my main IDE and Microsoft has done a lot of work to make it accessible.
What's the audio latency? I've found remote desktop to be a bad experience as a blind developer. At a prior job we used thin clients which had decent audio performance from my desk in the office. Once Covid hit and we had to connect from home audio latency was awful and it took me an act of god to get a corporate provided laptop.
I'm a totally blind software developer who was born in the mid 80's. From my experience and limited discussion with other blind individuals I was born at the beginning of when life became a lot easier as a blind programmer as well as a blind person in general. When I started to learn programming in the early 2000's electronic versions of a decent number of programming books were available. I don't know how I would have learned C from a print copy of the K&R book in the late 80's. By the time I entered college I had GPS to help me get around campus. PRetty much everything but math was also available in fully accessible electronic format. Ten years earlier it would have been a lot more dificult.
How do you figure we are close to bringing a meaningful amount of life to other planets? Just because we have the ability to put a few people on Mars like we did the Moon if we focus on it doesn't mean those three to six people will be able to create a civilization. They'll get back on there ship and head home. I realize becoming a true space fairing civilization may follow an exponential curve but were so far down on the curve with no guarantee of exponential progress that I wouldn't bet any amount of money that mattered on someone four generations from me being able to life in space or on another planet with no support from earth.
Become a senior software engineer so that you have enough skills to use the AI to generate mostly functioning code and manually fix what it doesn't get correct?
I've been looking at electric cars recently and am disappointed that I can't find any plugin hybrids with an electric range of 60 miles or more. 60 miles would handle all my family's commuting needs accept for the two or three times a year we go on vacation to a place with out good charging infrastructure. I don't want to have to waste time driving out of the way and sitting at a charger when there are small children in the car.
I'm not on Twitter. I still find his post useful as a data point on the health of the service since I'm interested in what's happening with Twitter even if I'm not on it.
This is my experience as well pre Covid. I switched jobs in 2021 and have not been back down town so who knows how much of this still applys. I worked in down town Detroit for ten years but lived in the suburbs. Once Rocket Mortgage and associated Dan Gilbert businesses moved down town there was a lot more activity and stuff going on in a couple square mile area. There's still a lot of run down area's surrounding the fairly nice down town area. If I had started working five years later I would have probably lived down town instead of the suburbs.
I find it quicker then a google search for things like generating code to initialize a list in a single line in Java when I forgot about Arrays.asList or creating a skeleton rest service in Springboot so I don't have to remember the exact annotations. I won't use it on my work computer though. It's not worth $42 for personal use but if I thought I could get my company to get me the professional plan I would.
I use it for basic things like automatically creating Spring Boot rest services in personal applications when I can't remember the annotations. I find it quicker then googling. If it were work code I would just look at an existing code base. I've tried it for more complex tasks and the code it generated was nothing close to the required algorithm.
You can continue to run internal software that has been under active development for over 50 years. IN 1970 Unix and C did not exist but COBOL did. Do you really want to rewrite all your credit card processing code from scratch when it has 50 years of business rules and bug fixes?
Keep in mind having a generator could make them an obvious target depending on how bad things get do to the fact that it will be obvious they are running one from the noise. I also assume fuel to run it could be a problem.
The fact that Kotlin was created by JetBrains and appears to require their IDE to be productive is the reason I have no interest in it. I'm totally blind and while JetBrains IDE's are technically accessible with my screen reading software they are difficult to use unlike VSCode which makes an effort to be plesent to use with screen reader software not just technically possible to use.
> Elon somehow is able to cut through all that BS and ship a new feature in just a week to all his users. How? What does he know that the rest of the industry don't? I think he understands something that might sound obvious on the surface: Twitter is just a fucking website. Literally no one will die if they fuck up.
Is that true? What if DM's or other private information gets leaked do to a code change? This could provide enough information to target individuals for murder depending on what the new info is.
Loyer's and Bankers know that's part of the job depending on where they work. When going over job expectations at all of my jobs traveling with one days' notice was never expected.
I'll keep doing full range of motion squats instead of trying to rig up a jack to lift the bar back up to the hooks. The sample size on this stufy was quite small and only a single exercise was performed. THis isn't enough to get me to change my lifting routine.
I'm happy enough with my Unifi Dream Machine, a couple access points and a single switch. I can't tell if Unifi is attempting to focus on business to the exclusion of technically inclined home users? I wish there was a wifi system with open-source firmware and fully wireless access points for the places I can't easily run ethernet but I don't know of any.
As a Voiceover user on IOS the app worked well enough. I haven't used it for a while though, ever since I discovered profootballtalk.com had an rss feed I had no need to use twitter to keep up on NFL news.
I switched to Ethernet when I started working remotely for my work machine, I found it makes remote meetings have less lag then over wireless. It's possible I could have tuned my wireless network to behave better but it was easier to have an electrician run ethernet when they were already out for some other work.
