Learning things does not help people with ADHD like it can help people without ADHD. ADHD is a performance issue; they don't end up doing things to the extent that they know how to. It is not a knowledge issue. If she has ADHD, learning about how her life patterns are dysfunctional and why is not going to fix how she executes her life in a dysfunctional way.

It certainly won't hurt though, outside of opportunity cost. ADHD has a genetic component, and growing up with ADHD parents is often a big contributory factor to the life problems that ADHD folks face. But it's not getting screened for ADHD, which if you suspect you have ADHD really should be the first step.
IMO, never.

Rule #1: Perfection is attainable

Rule #2: The universe is not constant: Screen sizes change, browsers, screen types, technology, new competitors come up changing people's expectations, people's tastes change, you expand into new demographics/demos/sales channels which react differently than existing demographics/sales channels, etc.

Ideally this work is done with a marketing/programming/operations team all in one, so all aspects are considered, with their trade offs, to forward on a collective understanding of solving user pain points.

I am pleased that you sound like you feel that would be a bad thing. Communism is being sold as a cool thing by Bernie Sander, Ocasio-Cortez, Antifa, and others. If that view becomes mainstream, it won't end well for any of us.
A soft-robot gripper is perhaps more akin to an octopus tentacle than a human finger. Maybe the difference is that a skeleton is mainly needed to lift heavy weights against gravity, and all the soft-robot applications we've seen so far have involved light loads that an octopus could handle.

Hmm, I wonder how well soft robotics could adapt to heavier loads. Even with skeletal components, grip/lift strength is limited by how much pneumatic pressure the silicon can take before bursting.

> do what you evolved to do

I agree you can't fight your nature and win. However, the counter argument would be:

1. Evolution is not concerned with your happiness, it's concerned with successful survival and reproduction - and keeping you just happy enough to do so.

2. Building a stable relationship and career in one place is quite counter to the thousands of years of itinerant hunter-gatherer, questionably-monogamous lives of our evolution lineage.

Lots of the forms in the mortgage process are standard HUD forms. There's little benefit in reading them closely other than making sure it's a recent form, and there aren't any edits or amendments you are initialing. However, many of those forms have blanks or check-boxes that are filled in by various people in the process. Each of those should be checked very carefully, as well as any document that's non-standard, or locally created.
But so is "I am already used to it," and so how do you find an objective, non-biased, measure of what is usable?
I think what was meant here is the Relative Age Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_age_effect

Many here probably recall if from Super Freakonomics.
This would be a real game changer for me, from an internal marketing perspective and for personal use.
"As a result, the actual price is a consensus between people who have very different outlooks on the company"

A better word would be "compromise", since there is no consensus by definition.

But another point is that I always think of the price of a stock as deceptively precise. If you measure anything in a scientific sense, there is an associated +/- uncertainty. The value of a company always has an uncertainty and it might be quite large as a percentage of the total size. So when you look at the price going up and down, maybe it's only fluctuating within the zone of uncertainty.

Linux has been pain-free for me this year. Ubuntu Budgie and Pop!_OS distros feel polished to me now on my desktop. With Budgie I don't do any config at all. I did do about 15 mins of config with Pop and got it looking and set up exactly how I like it. Settled on Pop as my daily driver.

For a laptop, been using a $300 chromebook. With Crostini I get all my linux apps that I use hassle free. I also use Google Docs and Sheets and Bitbucket for my personal stuff - I switch between my laptop and desktop seamlessly. I use my work Citrix if have to work from home (eg. MS Office).

Nothing on my Mac that I miss.
In the answer to "Wait, what's a rest?", I'm intrigued by the definition of "...any time step where you don’t play any new notes." (emphasis mine)

Why not have each time step contain all pitches that should sound during that time step (so starting a new quarter note and continuing a half note would both appear in the same time step)?
Then at the end of generating the music, perform some post-processing to get the note lengths.
Would the approach in the interview having any significant advantages to this approach? (I suppose you do lose the ability to rearticulate a pitch with my idea)
Considering something "optimized" is always going to be a struggle of almost perfectionism (even for myself and my own website haha).

I think you should always be critical of what would be better use of your time: optimizing vs getting more (targeted) traffic ;)

I think if you think small tweaks are all you have left that you need to consider how can you make your website specific to each persona you have on or even dig through which type of people could benefit from your product even outside of what your currently targeting.

I never fully trusted it. Relatively recent posts show that the GraalVM crashes. While it would be nice to use something like this, I have to go to war with the army I have. That means using the Go troops. Perhaps the Java regiment will be useful in the future, but right now it's still learning to navigate the new terrain of native execution.

If you noticed I included a section explaining when a split test makes sense and you can tell that Booking.com fit it that criteria as they were already starting to grow a lot.

Rather than setting industry direction, they are inclined to changing underlying platform every few years, which brings a lot of challenges. May be it creates work for platform teams. But, its not useful to do this often.

A lot of these big fights also happen because of the "FU, got mine attitude" that affects owners and renters alike. The fact of the matter is that cities like San Francisco are mostly composed of renters, and could easily outnumber NIMBY homeowners to build much more dense housing. However, thanks to policies like rent control, among other issues, renters don't organize and vote to advance their own interests the same way homeowners do.

C++ is definitely something to behold in terms of syntax. It's hard to justify much of the type-system syntax (meta-templates, `sizeof...(Args)`, and `std::forward<Args>(args)...` come to mind). I'm picking on argument-packs here and ignoring the beauty of initializer-lists, operator-overloading and user-defined literals (which allow great syntax in user-code but their own syntax is haunting in library-code). I doubt that C++ would look the same if the syntax were created from scratch with the current set of features.

So it's fair to say Go's syntax is unfortunately limited in expressiveness (and I too find myself mystified by how to express ideas neatly with go), but I have a hard time imagining C++ is something worth emulating without adding a whole bunch of subjective caveats to what "should" be avoided.
You're missing Ruby on Jets.

It's pretty comprehensive. And it was able to cache the execution context (and keep the cache warm) to approach native execution times. All of this obviously before native Ruby support was announced.
What you're reading is an increasingly common outcome for young women without guidance and goals coming from a patriarchal society.

All that which entices young women these days - moving, traveling abroad, working in 'passionate' or artistic fields instead of real ones - correlates with moving further away from stable long term relationships, family, and financial security.

And a 3+ year relationship ending dramatically - this is the expected outcome if you don't move to invest in family and create a shared future. God forbid her partner wanted children, a stable life in one location, the security of his partner not going out and acting like a 20-something year old, etc.

But nobody ever dares speak any of this, and while previous generations enforced control, they never explained why, except cryptically through religion. So it's no wonder in secular western societies people just do what they feel, and end up like this.

Now at best this no-longer-young woman will try to reform, change her patterns and behavior, just enough to attract a partner for the latter half of her life. And I'm sure she'll find one, as there are many poor male souls as well who know that a large part of their life and opportunities have passed. But what a sad state of affairs that we glorify and waste our youths, and scramble to pick up the pieces like this.
I haven't even been using a shim to run my Rust binaries. Just statically link them, and use:

I moved to Manhattan 10 years ago and it's been really sad to watch the decline, both in commercial and residential, more and more full city blocks of store fronts sit empty, and friends who have bought homes are experiencing a depreciation in their investments. Wealthy folks from outside the US have or had a "cottage" in Manhattan, but people are trying to sell their 2nd or 3rd houses, and people are not buying a 2rd or 3rd house. My biggest concern, however, is if the changes in weather and environment are going to impact this Island.
But people of the same age also have very different experiences for the same event. A 15 year old in NYC would remember 9/11 way differently than one from Colorado.
The saddest part of this story to me is how easily some people can discard friends on a whim.

I have made it an important part of my life and my decision making process to treat my friends like family. That means if I consider a move or any other big change, they are at the forefront of the "is it worth it" question. At 38 it's increasingly hard to make friends (note: not acquaintances), and at this point it's why I have zero interest in leaving Colorado, regardless of the opportunity.
I'm more or less an atheist by most standards, and I'm okay with that description.

I fundamentally agree with you.

We need things (that we imagine to be) outside of ourselves that are good in order to structure what we do. That otherness can be in the form of God or in the form of ethics, or in the form of whatever we unconsciously pickup as meaningful.

Culturally (in the US at least), I don't think that there are a lot of serious options just laying around for people to pick up if they aren't into religion, and so we unconsciously pick up other people, transient material successes, short term goal fulfillment, or novelty seeking as a substitute for these long term orientations.

When we unconsciously adopt those things (human relationships, solving our short term projects, being smart, or whatever) I think that we're bound to be disappointed because all of those things are pretty finite in what you can do with them: there is always a limit to how close a relationship can be, how healthy your body can be, how much professional success you can attain, and so on.

I have a 17 year old who lives with me, and when he goes off to college, I will be happy. I am glad that I have a lot more in my life than just my children, because in the end it's important that they leave, eventually.

Even your closest human relations need to have limits.

So the choice seems to be between living with short term successes, picking up religion, or doing a lot of intellectual work to try and find meaningful stuff that doesn't have the same frustrating limits as the short-term goals.

At this point, I have been finding that last option much more useful... finally, after two decades of being a dead weight of alienating drag, my degree in philosophy is starting to work out some things.

So, yeah, I think that you're right: an ethic where you place meaning in your life in the wellbeing of humanity in general is a strong idea.
"Yet this era was heralded years earlier, in 2007, when Britney Spears shaved her head and the onlooking public could only digest it as hysterical—the most misogynistic of characterizations. It now feels avant-garde: she assassinated her own character. Indeed, she reclaimed her self as something more than just a brand or commodity. By attacking her appearance (her hair, the root of so much aesthetic femininity) she drew attention to the ways in which our society attaches identity to women."

I never knew Britney Spears was so profound.
Most of the kernel code is in the drivers, the general purpose subsystems (VFS, I/O scheduler, task schedulers, memory management etc.) are a small fraction of those 25 million LOC and largely independent of each other so it is not that hard to build some understanding of them.

Some ways you can start:

- Here is start_kernel(), the kernel entry point after booting up and handling the lowest level stuff in asm:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.19/init/main.c#L53...

- grep for SYSCALL_DEFINE to find definitions of syscalls, e.g. this is open():
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.19/fs/open.c#L1076

(understanding how the I/O and networking system calls work is quite helpful for application developers, even if you work in node.js, python or another high level language)

- this is the struct that represents each process in the system, you can pick some interesting field and search for where it is used and where updated:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.19/include/linux/s...

Finally, the linux-insides book is pretty helpful:

Hi, I highly doubt booking.com's success came from CTA button colors - or any testing on the consumer side of the platform, for that matter. Their success is rooted in how they are able to take advantage of hotels and their distribution power.
I find car driving annoying, where the only thing I can stimulate my mind with is low value podcasts. I have to divert my attention to anxiety producing driving in a town where people don't give a fuck about turn indicators or other safe driving practices.

In a train or an uber I can put on my noise cancelling headphones, sit, read and not have to focus on a road. If the train is full, I can still read standing up. It's like the standing desk :)

Agreed! I'm much more concerned with VPC performance - I don't have a single lambda outside of a VPC. Firecracker is extremely cool, and I'm very glad to see the improved perf at the VM level, but that's not my bottleneck.

Thankfully, in my case, I have a very steady flow of data so I don't expect too many cold starts.
This is true for men as well.

Me and my wife have an 8 year old son, however I'm 36 years old and right now I don't feel like I'm capable of having another child.

Our son is a premature baby, born at 30 weeks, after what was a very troubled pregnancy. And then when he was one year old he suffered from Lyell's syndrome. Plus he's always been more sensitive to catching cold, etc. Now at 8 years old he's a healthy, good looking boy, does well in school, etc and I tell you, it's a miracle that he turned out as well as he did.

We were also fortunate to live with my mother in law. It's great to have one of your parents around. She babysits for us, she cooks for us, etc. Other people aren't as fortunate.

Being a parent is freaking hard sometimes. Being a parent is also the only thing that I'll never regret, possibly the best thing we ever did in our life.

But you need the energy of your twenties to do it. The sooner you do it, the better. Even if you're a man.

Reiterating something I wrote in another comment: the columnist's response is more than 2,300 words long. The mention of her book is 600 words in, is limited to a single sentence with no mention of what it's even about. And it is in the context of how the columnist fights feelings of inadequacy even during the ostensible high point of her career.

> Actually, the latest credit product systems from Experian and TransUnion (not sure about Equifax) allow creditors to see inquiry data as a list of dates. This array may include pre-approved offer checks and third-party pulls (such as those from Credit Karma). I believe you can even see this date list on Credit Karma as well.

This is not the same thing as checking your own credit, which is not visible on reports that creditors see.
I had his Be Here Now book in University. I didn't know he had a podcast. I'll have to add it.

I had a friend I was tripping on acid with, back in grad school, and he picked up the Be Here Now book, read the intro and said, "Wait, did he seriously change his name to 'Rammed ass?!'" .. I've always wondered about his intent after that. :-P
Love this.

We don't want happiness out of life, we want meaning. And we have the most meaning when we're impacting other people. Impacting people can start small, like your wonderful examples, or be huge like starting a successful company. There are so many ways.
That’s more a value system, or maybe an ideology, than a religion. Though I’ll agree the two do more or less occupy the same cognitive space. There is no need for anything mystical to be involved.

Today we are experimenting with new phenomena that have never been available to humanity en mass. Effective birth control, gender equality, freedom from restrictive social norms, all of these are very new, and indeed evolutionarily novel. We have not yet learned a tradition of how to operate in this space, we are the pioneers, and unfortunately a lot of missteps befall the pioneers.

Eventually through trial and error, and a kind of evolutionary process, we’ll figure it out, and then that will get passed down as the new value system. Then we’ll have kids again more or less following in the footsteps of their parents, they’ll just be footsteps we wouldn’t necessarily expect.

Actually, it was founded by George Plimpton and Peter Matthiessen among others, and initially got some funding from the CIA. I had a book of interviews that the magazine ran, which were quite interesting: Wodehouse definitely and Nabokov possibly among them.
On that note, my little brother repeated a year for academic reasons, but it also had benefits on sports. He's older than nearly anyone else in his grade (12th), and he's just about the best swimmer in the state.

I only see positive benefits from his repeating a grade.
It’s tough, the balance between the two extremes that you’re talking about. Immigrants, and the previous generations, were a lot more preoccupied with survival than with self-actualization. Watching a movie like Office Space becomes interesting to view from the perspective of survival. It’s almost indulgent. This guy has a well-paying job, his biggest woe is that his manager is not likeable, and he’s unhappy? But when you live it, you understand.

For me, the balance has been most aptly described by the phrase: you can have anything you want, but you can’t have everything you want. You can travel, follow your bliss, whatever it takes to find some self-actualization (very important in the western world), but you pay a price. This way, you’re not completely discounting the value of ‘finding yourself’, but, like any major decision, you assess the ROI.
Interesting that the word "hotels" is not mentioned anywhere in the article ;)

I think that this the reality for the majority of people. We are the first generation, as a whole, that will not do as good as their parents. That the is the economic reality.

One major issue though is education. Giving a good technical education to people is fundamental. No matter how much a person falls, they have something that they can build on. They are never starting from scratch, as many people in this generation do, over and over again.
