Thanks for bringing this up, I'm often lost in a setting with competing voices. I don't strictly need hearing aids but the few times I've had my earbuds in with ambient voice enhancements it's really improved my QoL. Gonna have to look into this more!

Re:To get more growth we need more kids
on Saturday November 25, 2023 @05:11PM (#38417211)
Companies seem to have lots of great policies from the inside but getting back in is the challenge for me, having been a stay at home dad for roughly 3 years now (also 2 kids in). Family responsibilities expand to use all available time so the time I have for grinding leetcode, working on my portfolio, or other similar activities comes late at night after the brain fog sets in.
I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's active discrimination, but the hoops aren't doing anyone any favors.
Meta in particular is one company I backed away from after the recruiter helpfully suggested I study for 4-8 weeks before scheduling interviews.

Re:Play Deprivation Is a Major Cause of the Teen Mental Health Crisis
on Friday July 28, 2023 @03:57PM (#36912444)
I've tried preaching philosophy to my toddler but he just doesn't seem to get it for some reason :) Some toys do get "broken" (but easily fixed so they reappear in a week or more), but out of sight means out of mind! He won't even remember it exists as soon as he gets thirsty and wants his drink instead, so effectively there are already zero consequences outside of a minute of anguish. I, on the other hand, do like the option of having toys to distract him while fixing dinner and some are way more effective than most.

Indeed, it's not just that I'm anxious the toy will break. It's that I'm anxious the behavior will continue and the replacement will be broken in short order and so on.
