I haven’t seen any accessibility features for x86 machines that comes close to Apple’s switch control on iOS, but I also don’t actively look for it. I’m curious if other device manufacturers will try to get into this market as folks live longer on average in countries with socialized medicine.

Makes me think about how this would change my life were I in Mark’s position. Would be interesting to see games that are very accessible, controlling your own media seems like an easy win, and so long as you can see and talk communicating on demand is a huge life improvement.

Would be interesting to hear a system designed for blind folks.

Article makes a lot of good points about the negligible EV innovation in the US due to major oil and gas producer interests. It seems like a chicken or the egg problem in the US where high power charging networks aren’t built because there’s not enough EVs on the road to demand better access while there’s not enough EVs on the road because of a lack of charger access. Seems like unless there’s a miraculous shift in US domestic EV cell production, the US is content to be left behind with overpriced ICE vehicles

100% I haven’t needed a personal laptop for years but I’m hopeful that getting a framework 12 could open an ARM based upgrade path in the future once ARM based Linux support improves

I have plenty of colleagues with their master’s degree - some went back to get a math related degree for actuarial roles, and some finished exams and just wanted more money when they switched companies (already employed as actuaries). The latter usually focus on data related degrees as the market aggressively hunts for folks who can pass new technical skills/knowledge onto their team of juniors.

If you can swing the master’s degree with your personal tolerance for debt, I think it’s a viable option. However, I’d aggressively study for exam P and FM to get at least one passed by the middle of fall semester so you’ll be ready to apply for summer internships. If you snag one, you may be able to work part time during your final 2 semesters if you prove yourself valuable enough.

Also, a huge topic in actuarial science is proving you met regulatory standards, and I presume you’re very familiar with git and/or other VCS, which can be a useful skill (include on your resume).

Actuary of 3.5 years - entry level is also tough in this field. If you have no exams passed, you’ll probably need at least 2 to be considered for an opening. Your CS degree may count at some places but not others, although I’ve seen more openings accept them these days so the trend is in your favor. If you started studying hardcore now, I’d expect you to pass 2 exams by next spring. If you’re interested in the field, I’d recommend trying to also apply to actuarial internships since nearly all are well paid, include room and board, and lead to employment opportunities.

I’d hope mint but it’s probably Ubuntu

Is your CVT vehicle a Honda? I know Nissan CVTs have had their issues but the Toyota ones have a fixed/real first gear before they switch to the CVT to give you that reliable start from 0 mph/kph.

FAQ page has your exact question answered - saved you one click from the link above. Clearly a lot of effort has been put into the site because online spaces we’ve enjoyed can’t be enjoyed any further even if we were interested in maintaining them ourselves as volunteers.

Right? It seems like there’s no reason to consider this niche solution except for crossing bodies of water as a last mile connection. Is there some shortage of fiber or just security concerns prompting all this investment?

That’s their playbook. But honestly I think anyone who plays with WSL will either get a taste and begin learning/transitioning to Linux or device to stick with their “safe” windows machine

I mean the alternative was a liver transplant, and I have no idea how an infant liver transplant would even work. The only way doctors and researchers were ethically going to be able to treat someone with CRISPR is exactly this kind of situation
