ppedra··on The "Disability Dongle": Why Silicon Valley Hates Me and You
Wow, that`s very true... > My disability is not a tragedy of biology. It is a failure of infrastructure.

Everybody is different. Tall, short, strong, week, two legs, one leg, short sighted or blind. So it makes a lot of sense to point (as a mistake) that our infrastructure favors one type over the others.

> the "Checkout" button is labeled "Button_Graphic_v2_Final"

This is a very good point.

I think Joblib Memory does the trick even better. https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/auto_examples/memory...
ppedra··on Ask HN: Any good (free?) TTS article readers?
I also use this one. If you have a free tier AWS account, you can use the "amazon polly" voices. The neurals voices are very good. If you only use it to read articles to yourself (i.e. a few articles a day and, on some days,none at all), I don't think you'll reach the limit (which is reset monthly). And if you do, switch to normal voice (not neural) and wait for the month to end

ppedra··on Ask HN: What you do in pomodoro breaks?
i like the pomodoro method but i'm not that keen on follow the timer exactly. So, on my breaks, it varies. Some time i go grab some coffee, fill my water bottle, go to the bathroom. Maybe, at work, talk to someone. This may take more the 5 min, but i dont mind. Also, and most commonly, answer messeges on the phone or read one of the tabs i opened during the pomodoro but it wasnt directly related to the work.

Jordan Peterson talks about it sometimes. I bet the podcast the author was hearing at the time was one interviewing Peterson... But is a nice idea
ppedra··on What's the best motivational quote that you have seen?
one i like is... "to begin, begin" it is not inspirational, haha, but helps me to start something, so is a kind of motivation, right?
