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.

A whole paragraph on how freakishly ugly he was. I google images and he looked perfectly normal and fine in the portraits which I assume at least some were accurate.
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'm sorry if this has been answered many times in the past. I didn't find the answer anywhere else.
If everyone gets 1000$ extra, why wouldn't rent increase by close to 1000$. If you're not willing to pay it, someone will. I don't understand how giving all of us X amount of dollars would help. The number of goods are the same, they would become more expensive through inflation.
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.
squeegee_scream commented on Ask HN: Do you print software documentation? If so how do you do it? · Posted by u/squeegee_scream
If the docs are fluid, 3 ring binder makes sense so you can adjust the contents accordingly. If the docs are more static, your local print shop or an online vendor can print and spiral bound the doc at a nominal cost for shipment to you. In the case of both, it's helpful to be able to take your own written notes to add into the binder, or write directly or on post it/sticky notes in a spiral bound medium.

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
squeegee_scream commented on Ask HN: Do you print software documentation? If so how do you do it? · Posted by u/squeegee_scream
In the past I've occasionally had PDF docs printed at copy shops (spiral bound usually) - but that can work out surprisingly expensive.
You should try out a Remarkable and see if that works for you (it didn't for me but it was close). They don't have a lot of distractions and they're pretty good at displaying PDFs.
Currently I buy books and put up with them being a little behind the bleeding edge. Good ones are hard to find though.
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:

Why make the questions and AI interviewing free? This sounds too good to be true
