People like you are one of the biggest reasons autism is too broad of a term.

Maybe these words seem loaded to self-diagnosed, asperger glorifying, "neurodivergent," ever-woke social justice armchair linguists like yourself.

I'd love for all of you to be squarely outside of the same diagnosis my little brother has.

I can't stress how much your "fully functioning" "open to question" "non-illness difference" version of autism deeply offends those who have been touched by real autism. Not, got me a job at Google savante autism. Not, I'm a nerd who remembers every episode of Naruto and no one likes me because I never shower so my excuse is my neurodivergence autism.

I long for the day when my brother's socially crippling mood swings and severe learning disability is no longer trapped under the same umbrella as a group of people who want to remove disability, retardation, or illness from a definition that has literally destroyed the lives of many individuals and families across the world.

I am disgusted by this optimistic view on autism. Championed by the most privileged of those with the disorder. You all fight a "stigma" for a mental disorder that you find has some "perks" as if the child thrashing his head against a wall and screaming at the top of his lungs because his brain registers every other sensation as pain and pain as pleasure doesn't even exist.

I have no sympathy for your entire assessment yet we agree on one thing, me maybe more so than you. The sooner we redefine autism into a multitude of different mental disorders, the better.

Lots of super interesting anecdotes in the manual as well, such as the author stating "this node is mostly useful in scripts" or "this node outputs the values of the accelerometer of the device" or "this can be used in the detection of certain frequencies".

You think a person who steeped himself in philosophy his entire life is unfamiliar with eternal recurrence (not "reoccurrence") and determinism?

No. Such people are bound to die restless and unfulfilled. There's a class of people who need to know the answers to all questions. It strikes me as a sort of ADD (I mean it in the non-technical "I am not a shrink" way). I agree with the article that the answers to many questions are unattainable or unknowable.

The trick as an atheist is to find peace with that. Some even satisfy their natural drive toward spiritualism with it.

The things that are on schedule are one part but there are other things not on the schedule when you have scheduled a few days to do programming.

I find it hard to balance between being unavailable to my colleagues/users and being interrupted all the time. Often the most efficient way to solve a software problem is to just come to the developer and resolve it together in a few minutes. These interruptions happen at random though and are hard to plan. Some days there are none and other days there are people almost lining up.

I also suspect that the mind is able to go into a deeper state when it does not expect to be interrupted all the time. So not only the interruptions but also the expectation thereof is taking energy away. Some days when there is nothing going on I even miss the interruptions and even get the feeling of needing to actively stray away with my concentration.

I wish my company would have a hidden room where I could go with a laptop, disconnect everything and emerge only after the work of the day is done.

Maybe it's because I'm younger (read: under 30, but pushing it), but I simply don't have patience for the attitude expressed in this article.

The author's single main point (as I read it) is that he just wants his content to "keep working" without having to put in any ongoing effort or maintenance, and without keeping up with relevant news.

That's never going to be a reality in an ecosystem like the web, and I'd argue it's probably not a reality in any consumer ecosystem available today (mobile/desktop/server/etc). They all update, and require applications to keep up with at least minor tweaking.

The part I lose patience with is this: he's advocating for a complete loss of user security and privacy in favor of ease of use for HIM, the developer. Because he won't or can't do his damn job, or because he values their (and by extension: mine) privacy and security so little he's not willing to put in the time or effort.

I was going to say something similar. I have JS disabled and auto reader mode enabled, and get a blank page.

On average, I’ve found news sites render a bit better with JavaScript off (on iOS 11.x), due to misguided attempts to improve on default browser behavior, and this site is clearly in the minority on that front. I also wonder what serving an empty page with a pile of JavaScript does for SEO, but I have no practical experience with that.

Anyone looking to make good sourdough (or any other kind of) bread should read Ken Forkish's "Flour. Water. Salt. Yeast." Including the OP - there a few things that could use improvement in both their method and recipe:

1. Ideally, for home baked bread, you always want to use a heavy dutch oven. A heavy dutch oven retains a lot of energy, which provides a consistent environment for the bread to bake in (opening an oven door, no matter how hot, rapidly lowers the temperature), but more importantly retains the steam that the bread emits. This both causes proper crust to form (look for the micro bubbles on the skin of the bread) and makes the entire loaf rise significantly more.

2. The hydration at 70% seems low. While low hydration makes handling dough easier, it also changes the taste - in my opinion, for the worse when it comes to bread. With a bit of practice, proper fermentation, shaping, proofing, and enough gluten formation, even a 78% hydration dough is not that hard to handle. I've baked a 1.8 kilo boulé without any shaping support on a simple pizza stone without having the dough "leak" (in general, if it is "leaking" post proofing, the dough has probably been overproofed and the gluten has weakened).

3. Fermentation time seems really low. Most sourdough types I am familiar with take overnight to ferment, and then 4 or so hours in the proofing basket to be fully ready. I've never baked after such a short fermentation period as described in the article, but I would imagine the resulting bread does not have the full airation, flavor, and texture that it otherwise would.

4. Technique - in my experience and as far as I have read, you do not have to knead at all. Most dough need only 3-4 rounds of "folding" during fermentation, where each edge of the dough is stretched and pulled over itself. That forms plenty of gluten. Shaping post-fermentation is similar, where after the edges are pulled over, the loaf is inverted on the seam and gently dragged around to create surface tension. _Definitely do not knead during shaping_.

For what it's worth, making your own bread is great. My first results were barely edible shame-disks with the texture of hardened gypsum, but after I got a handle on the correct techniques (and more importantly - patience) I have not purchased bread in a store for the better part of a year.
I’d say this is an over-broad generalization. Weapons work is where aikido differs most from lineage to lineage in my experience.

But your point that a style that trains ken exclusively is going to be more effective at ken than a style that trains a mix of ken and open handed techniques is not contested.

On the other hand, I reckon that the worst aikido dojo spends a lot more time on ken than the any BJJ dojo. Point is, it’s what you choose to spend time on.

I was somewhat recently visiting a judo dojo where an instructor recommended that I don’t bother training myself to throw ambidextrously. The rationale was that the opportunity cost of training my non-dominant side was larger than the competitive benefit I’d get from polishing more techniques on my dominant side.

I won’t deny that approach is probably more effective at winning, but it’s also not helping me improve what I want to improve.

Again, when people tell me the “problem” with aikido, I’m open and receptive, because I’ve got my own pet list. But where I start eye-rolling is when I hear people fundamentally misunderstanding why it is that many of us train and what we “should be” optimizing for as part of our own practice.
Delphi's UI designer pioneered two-way tools, meaning that any changes to the contents of a form/window are reflected immediately in code.

The general design is this: there's a code unit (.pas) and declarative UI property file (.dfm) for every form in your application. When you modify any published properties for any controls/components on the form via the object inspector, these modifications are stored in the .dfm file. Any changes to the controls/components on the form (adding a control, removing a control, renaming a control) are immediately reflected in the .pas code for the form. And, the code is not just generated code that you can't touch, it is code that you are modifying along with the IDE. You can jump back and forth between the UI designer and code editor with a simple F12 key press.

When an application is compiled, the compiler automatically bundles the .dfm files as resources in the resultant binary and streams the properties in during form instantiation.

Where this all really shines is with event handling. You can, for example, double-click a button on the form and the designer will drop you into the code editor with a fully-defined OnClick event handler all ready to go. This is because Delphi has the concept of default events for controls/components. For non-default events, you can do the same by double-clicking on the event name in the object inspector.

The other thing is that the UI designer is running real code in the background for controls/components, so the design-time environment mirrors the run-time environment, and control/component designers can interrogate the RTL to find out which state they are in, and act accordingly. You can also write custom property editors that allow for complex property editing in a nice interface.

Our product, Elevate Web Builder, works exactly like this for building single-page web applications. It's extremely productive and a very good fit for web applications because, unlike desktop applications, there's not as much risk of mixing back-end code into your UI code and starting to makes things messy.

The key is that you need a strongly-typed language to make this all happen, so I'm not sure how applicable any of this is to Python.
LaTeX does. The general rule it uses is that a period followed by a space marks the end of a sentence. To mark an intra-sentence period, a backslash is used between the period and the space.

I wish my company would have a hidden room where I could go with a laptop, disconnect everything and emerge only after the work of the day is done.

I used to work at a place with focus rooms, one person workspaces with a (glass) door that you could do focused work in. We were all told to go sit there when we needed to concentrate. One developer decided he always needed to concentrate and just took one for himself all day every day. Soon after we were told those rooms were not meant for the developers, since we already had a dedicated working space where we could make it quiet if we wanted. People kept walking into that space and asked questions whenever they wanted, interrupting everyone's work. Then we got a door put in at the entrance of the developer space. The door kept two thirds of people out. Turns out they interrupted because it was so easy, adding a little friction made sending an email just as good.

All of which is to say: this sort of thing is never binary, and the appropriate solution is different for every team.
JSX can do that?
Base society on strong foundational principles like liberty and justice. Give everyone the tools to properly evaluate ideas. Attempts to extinguish bad ideas should focus on arguing the point. Gradually the bad ideas will die out.

Every possible alternative relies on whoever is in power exercising condescending 'parent knows best' authority. And the rest of us just have to hope the whims of whoever is in power happen to align with ours. That's a bad way to run anything from the get-go, doubly so when the next generation takes over and is expected to know what the hell they're doing.

I'd put some huge blame on single page applications. Nearly everywhere stuff gets replaced by SPAs to push all layout calculations to the client. This frees up resources on the server side but at the same time everything feels sluggish and takes a long time to load (network- and Javascript-wise).

Reddit is also taking this new approach and as a result is nearly unusable on my phone and takes 3 times a long to load on my desktop.

The layout is becoming mobile first due to everything needing to be "responsive". So the desktop as the minority webbrowsing platform gets to use all the interfaces that are primarily optimized for mobile.

A non-technical audience's ability to understand depends entirely on their willingness to even try. Most people just don't care and want you to stop wasting their time, so they put no effort into internalizing an explanation. If you want to teach people security, first make them care about it beyond not getting caught: from an employee's point of view, they don't need to be faster than the tiger, they just have to be faster than their slowest colleague.

It's pretty intuitive once you've done it twice unlike cron's impenetrable syntax, tbh.

They also have other desirable behavior like being able to configure it concurrent runs are allowed or if the script should run if the initial date was missed or even restart the job if it fails up to a limit.

It's much more versatile than simply cron, due to that, it's also a lot more useful.
Back in about 2009 my brother's urban design firm in London handled a European Union funded rethink of IIRC Falmouth, which is a port in Cornwall. He explained that under EU regulations that was the last port that trans-atlantic ships were allowed to dock at to pump out bunker fuel and replace with EU-acceptable fuels for the transit further east along the channel.

All of this information (including part #1) is missing a key element: temperature. Temperature should be considered to be an "ingredient" when making sourdough bread. It's not as simple as "do X on day Y, and you'll have sourdough". You may end up with tart/acidic dough...but not proper sourdough.
