Thanks, that was good!

I want e-ink so I can work outside!

Why does hft even exist? Does it have any value?

Do you know how copper wire was invented? Two Belgians found a penny on the ground.

Changes to a declarative operating system, such as NixOS, are atomic. This allows for easy experimentation and rolling back to older configurations.

For example say you install gimp for editing photos. Normally you’d just install it using command line or a clickidity gui program. But say you don’t like it. Maybe it causes an issue. Then you have to uninstall it again. You are applying yet another action to the same system. That system is mutable, or modifiable, and that introduces some extra complexity.

With NixOS you can simply roll back to the previous state you had before installing it. It also doesn’t have to support stuff like uninstalling. The downside is that it likely uses a bit more resources when changing configurations.

This also applies to stuff like user management, services, e.g. a webserver.

Any experts correct me if I am wrong, I haven’t tried any of these systems yet.

Another brick in the wall

I am speaking from a German perspective, I’m not informed on how it works within your context.

But I imagine you must have something along those lines too. Obviously there are disabled people, and if those receive benefits, then what is halfway between that and not being disabled? Or is it black and white?

And it isn’t just about finances. It is also about housing and work. For example there is special housing built for people who need to live in an accessible place, say on the ground floor in the city. And larger companies are motivated to hire disabled people. I’m not sure how, perhaps through tax breaks or perhaps they are even legally obligated to have n posts for disabled people.

If your system does not provide for your needs, you might consider moving. Didn’t you say you are a coder or something? That’s an easy green card.

Do you put effort into your commit messages before the rewrite, or just write something quick for yourself and then put in the effort later?

That’s all good but why does it sound like you’re punishing yourself by taking a pay cut and working 16 hour days? Can’t you get on disability? You can for example be 20% disabled or 40%. This will allow you to work normal hours, have a normal income and extra rights and benefits. You might want to call your municipality and ask what’s possible and get informed.

Projects that allow for clear requirements before really starting on them are clearly more likely to succeed than ones that have a higher complexity due to unknowns.

Wtf isn’t that against freedom of expression big time? Didn’t expect the US as you guys are typically really strict on that.

What country is that?

That’s crazy… I once changed to a business plan to get more reliable support and it was actually cheaper.

I’d love to try this some time for game design. Like you could perhaps even visualize the decision tree somehow.

I’m relatively new to git and rebase looks like a mess to me? Like it appears to be making duplicate commits and destroys the proper history?

If you use rebase to get a more readable history, isn’t the issue the tool you use to view the history?

I guess I have to try it out a few times to get it.

Have you tried slapping your manager?

I read books at work when I need to, and in some cases that can take several days. As long as it is relevant to what I am being paid to do. Make sure to clearly communicate. Learning is part of this job.
