- I am not made out of silly putty.
- I am not female.
- I cannot code.
- I am 120% less flexible than her.
- I lack a port hole through which to see the screen.
- I don't want to.
Apart from 3., I'm in full agreement.
With the delay from transatlantic connections, I could ignore 5
- My back
I am not female.
You're assuming their gender. Maybe they're staring at dick all day 😉
I wasn’t going to use it, but I feel like I have to now. 🤓
Back-end developper ?
my neck. my back. my…
... full development stack?
I'd say visibility is kinda poor
Slap an Apple Vision Pro on ya face
field of vision
Well, you can stare at a pussy all day. If you don't have a pussy, then never mind.
Why never mind? You could stare at a dick instead.
If I was to ever get myself into that position it's going to take 3 doctors and a voodoo priest to get me out of it.
Too close to my own dick, gonna try to suck it and get distracted.
An annoying lack of x-ray vision.
That wrist angle looks uncomfortable as all hell.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
About 200 pounds.
Being generally as flexible as a dry straw, not owning the cool open-toe tights, missing the ability to see through my own abdomen, and I don't use Apple products.
What would enable me to work like that, is my question.
Insanity
You become that flexible and all you have to pay is insanity? Well I wanna say my 40+ ass would take that deal, but fuck it, not even my early 20s would have a chance.
I think it's the fact that I can't see the errors on my vagina.
Sounds like a skill issue to me
Someone chose the wrong bottom surgery smh
I prefer to type on an ergonomic keyboard thank you very much.
A lifetime of sitting still mostly
So this is the new Lenovo Yoga line... Nice.
mfer goin for the self-suc
Permanently Deleted
I know how to touch type in Colemak but not Qwerty. Is this a sign of autism?
Line of vision
Learn braille
My back.
that would probably be a more healthy position to sit in then what i'm used to lol
It's just the natural evolution of slouching
How to post to c/unixsocks
My hamstrings
- I can easily bend in half and reach past my toes, but this is another ask entirely.
- Even if I could do this, I don't have eyes in my back or a computer screen in my knees.
probably not having enough money to replace the laptop.
My inflexibility
I have bones
My neck.
Lack of a yoga mat or you wouldn't be able to stop me 😉
I don't own a yoga mat
Even as a big fat homo, and presuming I could get into that position, I don't want to stare at my own dick all day.
Aldready poor coding skills.
c/fullshrimp
I could probably get into a similar position, but I'm not that good at touch typing so 🤷♂️
I like to see the screen whole coding
I can talk out my ass, but can't see through my ass. Common misconception.
2 mirrors
My piriformis
What makes you think this isn’t how I code? Offices love me, this is way cheaper than a bunch of ergonomic equipment.
I'm over 40. My body doesn't do that any more.
My eyes not being on the side of my face
Pain
Note: (c) Hilaria Baldwin.
You may remember Hilaria from such controversies as "how do you say in English, cu--cucumber?". Born Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas in Boston, she somehow developed a Spanish accent once her parents retired to Spain in 2011.
Is this a thing? In MMA, a pro fighter from America called Mackenzie Dern married a Brazilian and adopted both the accent and the need for an English translator. There is also an English football manager called Steve McClaren that managed in the Netherlands, and infamously did an interview in broken English because "he thought locals would understand better".
Mostly it's not a real thing. Most people who speak multiple languages don't get worse at one of them. Europe is full of multilingual people who speak like native speakers in their first language, and then near native in a bunch of other ones. There are times when you can't tell what someone's first language is.
On the other hand, it can happen a bit if you never use your native language, especially in the first few minutes of trying to switch. One famous example of that is Arnold Schwarzenegger who has spent so long in the US speaking English exclusively that his German has a slight American accent (though mostly it's a heavy Styrian Austrian accent). Also, it is true that you can temporarily forget words, even in your native language. It's not so much that you're forgetting the word, just that your brain insists the object is a "pepino" (the Spanish word for cucumber) and for a moment you can't say "ok, yeah, I know it's pepino in Spanish, but what is it in English?"
But, "code switching" is a real thing. If an American moves to Australia, it's really helpful to adopt some Australian pronunciations just to get by. If you ask for a "wah-der" in Australia, they'll have to think for a second, if you ask for a "whoa-tah" they get what you want right away. Someone who speaks English fluently but is always among Brazilians who only speak a bit of English might use a subset of English to talk to them, use local phrasing that isn't proper English but is Portuguese idioms or expressions moved into English word for word, and use Brazilian pronunciations so they're understood more easily, even if those are mispronunciations under most English accents. But, it would be surprising if they couldn't revert to normal English in an English-only setting.
I don't have legs
Gimme a wedge pillow to keep my ass above my head and I'm in
Common sense?
Opaque thorax
I can't code. :(
Downgrading to a Floor-Top device? Sounds like you can't go any lower, no thanks.
I dont see shit like that
"like that" is probably the best position to see shit
The laws of physics.
That looks like a quality oven appliance. I hate stools, though. 6/10 kitchen
Honestly?
Crappy laptop trackpad picks up stray clicks from my wrists being close enough to trigger touch without touching. Blind operation is not an option, unless I bust the whole experience down to a text-only terminal.
But otherwise, throw in a decent VR headset and I'm on my way to yoga-based development.
Anyone here seen Jackass 3D?
I think I've read some comments by Rust devs who probably prefer to sit like this
