Legit question, what's a good alternative for tkinter? I agree it's terribly inconsistent and unpythonic and generally a displeasure to work with.

Qt has license issues; GPL wrappers are a no-go and I still can't completely understand LGPL so I'd rather not risk it.

It surprises me that given Python's size there isn't a one go-to permissive licensed GUI library.

Fair enough, thanks for sharing. I have a good friend who has ADD and is of a similar opinion as you. He has strong libertarian leanings and I asked him how does he reconcile his political philosophy with his use of ADD medication. He told me he considers it as getting him to the same starting line as everyone else.

My own experiences with therapy relate more with meditation and concentration exercises rather than CBT (I kinda doubt CBT works for ADD and ADHD, though I'm not basing that opinion on science). I don't know to what extent meditation and concentration exercises helps with ADD though there are books written about it, and I have talked with at least one person who has ADD and has been practicing it for a while (but I didn't get a chance to ask him how well it works).

I know that for myself, someone who does not have ADD or ADHD, the only way to increase control over attention and awareness is mindfulness and concentration. I am also speaking about "concentration exercises" in the classical sense, such as the term "jhana" from India. That is to say, when I am talking about concentration, I am talking about relaxed (rather than forced), one-pointed focus on one concentration object sustained over long periods of time, rather than the conflated sense of "concentration" when speaking casually about it or in the context of academics or work productively. The mindfulness is related to regaining impulse control by being aware of impulses that flow through the mind.

The other thing to consider is: Autists tend to be given ADD or ADHD meds, but no one really knows if they actually work for the root cause, because we don't really know the root cause for ASD. The closest neuroscience has to offer as a theory is something called Intense World Theory on Autism. All the other theories on Autism are based on behavioral markers rather than neuroscience. An Autist might _present_ as ADD or ADHD, but they are not quite like that.

So here, sample size of 1 opinion: my wife has ADD and my daughter is on the Autism spectrum. They both get distracted. My sense of how and what distracts them when observing them and talking with them tells me it might look the same, but it isn't. It's something our family counselor has noted too, having worked with other people on the autism spectrum or with ADD

As such, ADD and ADHD meds affects someone on the Autism spectrum differently, and depending on physical development.

As a semi-philosophical aside: in what capacity are dollars not real, but the things you can buy with them are?

Since everything seems to be a means to an end, from glamour (gets you money), to money (gets you food) to food (provides energy to your cells) to species (reproduction, evolution) to more efficient use of resources, all accelerating the universal march toward the heat death of the universe.

At which point do things in this optimization chain become "real"? What makes a specific segment "not real"?

Click the provided link, though. It's bad.

The biggest warning sign is that it pitches a serotonin-deficiency model as standard and claims mainstream doctors are "breaking ranks" to oppose it. That's absurd. Knowledgeable doctors don't claim serotonin deficiency causes depression, only that SSRIs can help address depression. The serotonin-deficit hypothesis was advanced because SSRIs treated depression, and discarded when depressed patients proved not to have lowered serotonin levels. Brogan is pretending serotonin deficiency is a crumbling conspiracy, when it's actually a tested-and-discarded hypothesis.

I don't especially object to the pull quote about alcoholism. It's a standard clinical observation that antidepressants don't treat simple serotonin shortages, and work equally well on 'clinical' depression and 'normal' depression like the loss of a loved one. I just object to implying that this isn't commonly recognized.
Not sure but the last comment on the bug report says: "RCE risk should be lowered due to CFG (on platforms where CFG is in effect)."

Since that article was published, things have changed a little bit. At least for the filtering use case they talked about in the blog, XDP (https://www.iovisor.org/technology/xdp) has come about, which is an in-kernel mechanism by which to filter at wire speed.

I don't disagree that there are many examples, but it's hard to solve them unless people give specifics.
That's already supported via Expo :)
Dude, you really need to think carefully about whether you are approaching this topic honestly, or if you are hunting for reasons to reinforce your belief that this card is a scam.

The precise things you claimed about this card are _not true_. Those are facts. If you want to debate, use _facts_.

Nobody is denying that WalMart _could_, if they wanted to, offer a savings card which is a scam. But also consider their motives going into this, compared to the average bank:

- Wal-Mart's goal is to get people to spend money at Wal Mart. This card makes it easy to spend money at Wal-Mart.

- Banks exist entirely from interest on saved money, and on fees.

Since these customers have very little saved money (the whole point of this article), the money made is entirely from fees, unless you have another reason to get people to use the card. Wal-Mart does -- it is totally reasonable for them to run this program at-cost to attract customers. You cannot say the same for any bank.

If you want to disagree with the merits of people spending money at Wal-Mart, that's a different topic. But the evidence points to this card being a good deal for an underserved part of the population.

> We scrape the data from the public GitHub source code to generate a model that stores prop type names and the type in which they have been set. Once we have a huge set of sample data we then feed this into AWS Machine Learning as a multi-class classification model.

I would literally pay for a tutorial on how that is done (not the scraping github part... that part seems straight forward)... the ML part.

Anyone know of a tutorial on how to build classification models like that?
Nope, because everyone is now talking about it.

The typical work environment isn't a great place for parents either. Adding kids might be an opportunity to improve that.
It's a little more nuanced than that. Old cars are essentially a flat base with a structure stuck on top. This forgoes crumple zones, yes, but it also results in a situation where one car body climbs over the other, as observed, causing the structure to shear in two. Anti-climb bars are a key technology in stopping this and were introduced after a number of large accidents where two passenger cars essentially became a pair of scissors and slid into one another. It also means that the cars stay roughly in line, ensuring that the reinfroced parts of the structure stay bearing on one another and transfer the load into the body rather than into the weak cabin area. If you think about it, the structure is very strong when pressed end-on, but as soon as one climbs it's essentially crushing from above/below and the structure is far weaker that way.

Outdated regulation plays a part, particularly around the assumptions of where loads come from. As you mentioned, the buff crushing load assumes a longitudinal action only. Moreover, there has historically been minimal roll-over strength in cabins to protect pasengers. Change is disappointingly slow, however, and with asset lives of 50+ years due to the tough financial challenges facing particularly passenger rail, it takes a long time for new regulation to come into practice.
OTOH, the situation is reversed by the userspace API documentation... even more so if we are talking about POSIX vs Win32.......

You should be more diligent if you're going to be so snarky... 85 wasn't the highest life expectancy. WaPo noted three adjacent counties with very high life expectancy and captioned the graphic, "Summit, Pitkin, and Eagle Counties, each at more than 85 years."

Their actual values were 86.83 years, 86.52 and 85.94 years. Oglala Lakota County had a life expectancy of 66.81. Lo and behold, 86.83 - 66.81 is more than 20 years.

From the source article:

> Counties were combined as needed to create stable units of analysis over the period 1980 to 2014, reducing the number of areas analyzed from 3142 to 3110. In 2014, life expectancy at birth for both sexes combined was 79.1 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 79.0-79.1) years overall, but differed by 20.1 (95% UI, 19.1-21.3) years between the counties with the lowest and highest life expectancy.

There is risk to the bank for bad-credit people having an account.

1) CSR interactions cost them way more than they'll ever make from the account, if the person stays poor forever

2) A lot of banking actions are not proper "transactions" or atomic in the CS sense -- you can end up overdrawing an account pretty easily. A genuinely poor person is eventually going to get charged off on this.

A lot of poor people fail chexsystems (bank account credit check, basically) from bounced checks, and thus can't open accounts. Which then limits their access to the banking system, including receiving funds, forcing them to use more expensive alternatives.

> The founders of Grammarly had eschewed venture capital since setting up the company in 2009. Grammarly said its business is profitable.

It's hard for us to say without knowing the actual details and business metrics, but it's quite silly for you to dismiss their 8 year old profitable business without knowing anything.
No, it's precisely the opposite! Maintainers (using whale oil for energy) would have driven every whale to extinction and left the world without an energy source a century ago. Maintainers (using horses for travel) would have drowned Manhattan in horse shit a century ago.

Innovation is if anything under-rated and under-funded and under-supported. The homes of hundreds of millions of people and energy itself is threatened by depleting fossil fuels and global warming...and some of the major efforts to stop this have depended on effectively "insane" entrepreneurs like Elon Musk...not a smart system! All the while hundreds of billions of dollars in health care costs for just say unnecessary tests flows to negative value addition maintainers.

Maintainers mostly either conservatively follow & accept or exploit the current system. It's innovators who've driven down the cost of lighting your home to a few hours of income or the ubiquity & cheapness of books & information (perhaps to the detriment of wisdom but that's another story) to stopping war through protest to ending non-man-made famine.
Yeah - that kind of makes sense - maybe using mock objects for filesystem access and seeing what it was doing - but that feels to me a bit like trying to solve the halting problem - putting yourself into the process really seems like it will prevent you from trying to figure out what it actually does.

Maybe I'm just wrong about that and this is a standard technique for evaluating security.
It's the other side of the quasi-doublespeak that looks at raises and new divisions and side projects as "investments". They're going to spend $100M this year that they can't easily get back, so it's a fair way to put it.

Everything the business does is finding investments to spend their money on.
Ask HN: What is the fundamentally wrong with food delivery tech business model?
Food delivery tech is really a challenging and real problem to be solved. It really have a potential revenue model and solution. why multiple startups fail after spending lots of money on it? If we can't build a sustaining business model why this is being built? From US to India most food techs crumbled.
6 is a decent rethink of the core rules and mechanics, that still doesn't stray too far from 5. I would recommend taking a look at it on youtube at the very least, it's definitely the better recent title.

Civ is one of the very rare strategy multiplayer games where AI mode is a lot of fun; different than PvP, but still a challenge and a mostly fresh experience. My main issue with it is the exceedingly annoying political behaviour of the ever-complaining AIs. (You're expanding too much! You're not expanding enough! Your army is too large! Your army is weak! One of your units stared at me wrong!)

how do you make money?
I used to work with wireless driver guys. Some of them had no degrees (including one who worked at Lucent on Apple's Airport). Just started out doing small stuff and worked their way up. Others had EE backgrounds. One of the things about wireless is that the salient concepts are more EE than CS, even if you're on the software side. A specialized EE course on wireless communications will teach you a lot of the underlying concepts you need to understand.

Unlike the OP dough, the pizzas at artichokes in NYC has always been mediocre. Going west on 14th st to the Joe's will get a better crisp slice in a hotter oven. I can't imagine that they are better in SF if that's what we're talking about, but I guess it's possible.
The female prime minister of Pakistan was Benazir Bhutto, a scion of the wealthy and powerful Bhutto family. Her father was a former prime minister, Zulfikar Bhutto. Gender gaps do not apply to women from wealthy and powerful backgrounds.
I used to track "time in production" along with "lines written". It was really interesting to weigh "time in production" for lines of code to see how rushing to get more lines in ended in us rewriting more and more of a developer's code.
yes, the Linux userspace<->kernel API is far better documented. Windows has literally hundreds if not thousands of completely undocumented (publicly) system calls, whereas each Linux system call has a man page available on basically every Linux system, no web browser required. even the "internal" system calls like mmap2 have man pages. find me "documentation" for NtSuspendProcess.

and even the kernel API documentation, which, while it has its issues, I would argue is still far better than MSDN, which IME is mostly pages and pages of function prototypes with a one-line restatement of the name of the function.
Kerbal Space Program without a doubt.
I'm not exactly a hardcore fan of Win32 userspace documentation but POSIX's drives me far more insane. Can you name a few examples that aren't from shell32/shlwapi?
Keep in mind, adderall and vyvanse work different for someone on ASD than someone with ADD.

My daughter, who is on the spectrum, has trouble completing goals and having a hard time doing any sort of long-term planning on vyvanse ... even for the things she is highly-motivated to work on. She is currently on 15mg of Adderall.

I am only now just teaching her how to organize and plan. It required building a lot of more fundamental skills first: unwinding the entitlement attitude (that seems common in this current generation), getting her used to checking a list of tasks, day by day, teaching her how to use her visualization skills for both planning and for shaping and solidifying intent. (She is very good at visualization. She doesn't use her skill wisely). We're now just getting her working with a planner and weaning her off of direct supervision.

Today was the first day she woke up on her own with the alarm clock. This was months in building her to this point since she first started living with my wife and I during the custody transitional phase. My daughter had somehow trained her brain to ignore the alarm clock with her previous guardian, and the entrenched entitlement attitude did not help. We have had to do a lot to get to this point. The final bit was, in each of the past three nights, I had her visualize (using both sight and auditory modalities) the clock turning to 7:15, hearing the exact sound, and then seeing herself get up. Last night, I introduced to her "intent" and how to shape and form an intention to get up. (And man, I wished I had someone teach me how to shape and focus intent when I was a kid... not that I would have been in the right mindset to take that in back then). Will there be a regression? Likely. Stuff like this takes time and persistence.

This milestone is still one step in many. My intention is to teach her how to use her mind and how to use it well. If we wean her off of Adderall, it would come after a lot of intense, ongoing coaching on how to shape and solidify intent, how to use visualization to accomplish what she chooses rather than to sabotage herself, how to organize, how to reason, and a solid basis for morality, ethics, and values. The hardest part will be learning how come into focus and gather will without the use of a consciousness-modifying substance.
> Does that make sense to you?

Yes, but not to Baumol's theory. Your description sounds like an excellent summary of the labor theory of value. How does this connect to musicians making more money? Once all of those former farmers rush into manufacturing because the price equilibrium is reached for food, why doesn't that depress factory wages and thereby reduce the musician's leverage to demand a higher salary for staying a musician? I keep rereading Vox's summary and one on The Economist, but I'm not seeing the evidence that musicians' wages were incommensurate over the century analyzed, or confirmation that other measures of music productivity like audience members reached per year remained fixed. If the musician's general relative economic class is unchanged, why invoke opportunity cost of other labor sectors as a factor? Or, if the general public has higher wages and the demand for music is inelastic, they can be stretched more for it, why not suppose the artists know their talent pool is limited and leverage that to increase their cut? I thank you very much for taking the time to try to explain this to me, in case I've inadvertently gotten you frustrated, and I blame myself for this apparent mental blind spot I can't shake.

I'm not versed in HIPAA or PII but I wonder if grammarly is stashing text typed into emails? How many business strategies, private conversations, and other such things, are they holding (and likely plan to parse with machine learning somewhere in their pitch deck... if they aren't doing it already)?

EDIT: apparently it's used with Gmail, so the answer is yes they are parsing business strategies, private conversations, and other personal things in their data pipeline with, quoted from a comment further down, "presumably a future play in adtech or AI".
I'm trying to be charitable, because I don't quite understand the Windows security model, but how is the reasoning to this not just:

"We don't trust this code from the internet, let's run it as SYSTEM!"

Because that seems insane. It's escalating the runtime permissions of code you don't trust -- moving it from user permission to SYSTEM permission just because it hits internet cache.

I keep thinking there must be some part of this I'm missing, because if that's really how it works... "Double You Tee Eff" indeed.
