*they - it’s right there in their twitter description

It’s already quite a stretch to expect every commenter to have read TFA, and it’s a much bigger stretch to assume that every random HN submitter will have any clue that this person once said they would like people to stop linking their posts on HN.

What's not a stretch is using 'they' to refer to someone whose gender you don't already know.

That one is based on real data (I worked there for a bit), but I generally agree this pattern is exploitative

Is it more or less exploitative than eBay watchers? Why so?

Check out Foundry VTT[0] -- I've been using it since release and so far it has been a much better experience than Roll20. Plus it has a pay-once-and-own-the-product-forever model, and you can easily self-host your own server.

That looks great, thanks! Our GM wanted us to use a VTT that was in development a few months ago (saw it on a reddit announcement), not sure if it's this one. I think his was 3D, but this looks great, thanks again.

Just based on what I've seen and the women I've talked to - a lot of women in tech are encouraged to move into management because (for a variety of societal reasons) they've just upskilled more in EQ than many of their male peers.

There is also overwhelming pressure on minorities to not only succeed and be perfect but to gain positions of power to make it easier for those that follow. It's incredibly difficult to do that as an IC (for either gender).

Care to point to these studies?

"I don't care about this feature" !== "nobody cares about this feature." I feel like this is a fallacy a lot of programmers (myself included) tend to fall into, but it's a dangerous trap.

wondering if that's just an assumption by the author -- can you not just rotate it 180°?

It has a physical design with an up and down, so you would have it upside down, with the buttons on top.

[On the original, you could not] rotate the device 180 and use it normally, but you could click a toggle in the settings which would reflect the UI laterally, for left-handed people.

Has to be that way. Same as Kindle Oasis.

Same, I had debilitating RSI for years, to the point where I was using voice recognition and a foot mouse, but all symptoms went away once I started wearing hoodies to work. As soon as I use a computer with bare arms though it all comes right back.

Same for me.

Only a few minutes with bare arms and I get this snapping sensation in my forearms as I type. And if I push through, pain.

Doctor's wanted to do surgery. But I didn't have the problem prior to an injury that required me to use crutches, so I was hesitant to resort to surgery.

Keeping my arms covered has been a lower risk solution that's been working fine now for 6 years.
