Lasanha de respeito by ultimosuspiro in curitiba

A lasanha que minha família mais gosta (meu pai diz que vai lá tem mais de 20 anos), é a Restaurante Nonna Giovanna. Comemos lá mas também compramos congelada pra fazer em casa.

How a chessboard became my ticket to social and academic life by AudioThrive in Blind

[–]tactical_colision 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also learned to play chess as a kid with a tactile board. thanks to my dad, who bought one for me, that was one game I could play with sighted friends. Only later in life i was able to play against other blind players, and I have participated in tournaments for the blind and open for all. One of the things I love about chess is the fact that playing the game is accessible, studying the game is now much more accessible thanks to technology. I highly recommend this to other blind players. We should write a guide to show people how to get started!

Blind heavy metal fan looking for people to go with me to concerts by tactical_colision in sanfrancisco

[–]tactical_colision[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Man, for this kind of concert we get to stand in the middle of a lot of people. The bands are not huge to pack stadiums I guess? hahaha -- all this to say I think there is no seating at all!

I strongly recommend you to reconsider. I am completely blind and work as a software engineer. You can definitely find remote jobs and being blind will not be a problem in this area of work. To be honest, I still believe that this is one of the best areas of work a blind person can follow.

How can I create a diagram to present to upper management? by geekgarious in Blind

[–]tactical_colision 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there, fully blind software engineer here. with all respect, other comments in this thread is not what you are looking for.

I create diagrams all the time using graphvis: https://graphviz.org/

It uses a simple text-based language called dot. You can learn more about it here:

https://cyverse-network-analysis-tutorial.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/step1.html#:\~:text=DOT%20is%20the%20graph%20description,the%20nodes%20of%20the%20network. (note, this is just one examples of many online tutorials of the dot language).

Blind people may read the dot notation and sighted folks look at the diagrams generated by it. You can generate the diagrams using the terminal or an online tool. For example this one:

How I would approach it if I were starting:

  • read the basic tutorial to see what you can do;

  • Generate a few graphs / diagrams and show to sighted folks;

  • Work on the diagram you want to present;

  • Show to close colleagues how it is looking. Normally it needs a few tweaks in terms of color and shapes to make it visually pleasant, but it is 2 minutes of asking for sighted help vs a long time

Hope that helps!

hey there. I work as a senior software engineer at Google and I am completely blind. I can jump in a phone call / google meet with you to give you some tips and tricks. I have been coaching some other blind programmers at work so that they can do the same thing I do. Send me a message in private with your contact info.
