There are probably tons of companies that fit this profile. I don't have any tricks for finding them, but you're going to have to do the research on companies including asking current employees. If they have a very rigorous interview process then you might want to skip that company.
I agree, looking at portraits he looks just fine. I wouldn't call him handsome but certainly not "ugly" or "grotesque". But it seems part of the impact of his appearance was due to his movements and his proportions, neither of which are going to be easy to discern from portraits. Take this image, for example. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Hans_Chr.... It could be his coat exaggerating his proportions, and maybe some amount of forced perspective, but I can begin to see that his hands are quite large, his head seems a bit small.
I don’t think _everyone_ gets an extra $1,000, just those at the bottom. I’m pretty sure there are different ways of implementing UBI, and some of them only provide a certain amount to the lower income folks. So if you are making plenty of money, whatever plenty means in your location and context, you would not receive any additional income.
I've had cognitive decline over the past 6 years. I turn 41 this year. It's strongly (maybe solely) due to stress, anxiety, depression, migraines, and insomnia. This entire clusterfuck started 6 years ago because, while I had the skills to excel in school and career, I was sorely lacking in the skills to be a father, husband, and homeowner. When I got married and we began having children, my decline began. But it was slow enough and normal enough at first (new parents often don't get enough sleep, they often have extra stress and anxiety, etc) that I did nothing to combat it. It wasn't until 2021 with all the added awfulness of 18 months of a global pandemic that it become obvious things were unsustainable. I was barely able to function at work, I was being put on a PIP, and I was almost completely absent from my family. When I was with my family I was irritable, angry, constantly complaining.
I got on antidepressants and that helped, though it came with it's own set of problems. I started seeing counselors, reading self-help books, I went through 6 months of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), working with a neurologist to get migraines under control, seeking help wherever I could. It has been a slow process but I'm doing a lot better. I'm still nowhere near where I was cognitively. In fact I don't know that has improved much at all. And it's only been in the past year that I've began to understand my decline as a result of jumping into marriage, fatherhood, and home ownership without the necessary skills to handle them. I'm hopeful things will continue to improve, I've learned an enormous amount about life, fatherhood, marriage, love, forgiveness, hope, and priorities.
If you are a young parent, or considering being a parent soon, work on yourself. Ensure you have the skills you need or your life (and the lives of those near to you) will become a bag of utter despair filled with shit.
Those are my thoughts, as well, about using a 3-ring binder. That's helpful for me to hear them come from someone else to help validate. That post you linked is exactly what started my current round of thinking about this. I have thought about it before but I'm more serious now than before
I have a large e-ink tablet, not the reMarkable itself but similar. It is a step in the right direction for me but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though!
If I print documentation I'm going to do it with my home printer and use a 3-ring binder so I think the cost should be do-able. I haven't specced it out exactly but paper is cheap and toner is... cheaper than paying someone else :shrug:

I’m not familiar with that and I’ve been a heavy Internet user since the mid 90s, first on Windows, then Linux starting in 2007, then macOS starting in 2012
I was in the same cycle, until I had someone else add a passcode to Screen Time and now I can’t unblock myself, I have to get the other person to do it for me
- Find a way to make it impossible to do the things you're trying to avoid. For Apple products setup Screen Time and give someone else the passcode. I'm sure there are solutions for other OSes out there
- Practice self denial and doing things that hurt, such as fasting and cold exposure (like a cold shower or cold bath). These are good for people in general. I'm not sure how universal this is but doing these things gives me an incredible sense of accomplishment which makes it easier to do other difficult things that I want to do but otherwise avoid
Good luck, these things are designed to be addictive and our biology has not caught up to give us sufficient built-in resistances. This stuff is very difficult, and kudos for reaching out! You can do this!
If ICE approaches you, who are presumably a citizen, and demands to see your papers what do you do? Do you carry your birth certificate on you at all times? Any other proof of citizenship No? Then you’re outta here TODAY
I think there are, the author says so, but according to author they don’t make clear if a book is a new edition, translation, etc of a previously published book. So getting a list of published works wherein “A Book Title” is a single result and “A Book Title 2nd edition”, “A Book Title 3rd edition”, etc are not listed in addition to “A Book Title”, doesn’t exist. I would think it’s possible to write a layer of logic that takes a list of published books and removes extra editions, translations, etc to get what the author wants but perhaps the problem is more difficult than I realize
The fake moves are to keep people from getting hurt. If you start using real moves it becomes a different thing entirely, one might even call it MMA or Olympic wrestling
I think you’re describing Aider.chat. There are 2 Emacs packages for it, one official and a very recent fork. Aider is a cli so it works great with vim as well.
In Emacs I’ve had good experience with gptel as well but I prefer aider for the coding workflow
