Self taught is the key skill. If you can learn on your own you have a good chance of facing a developers life.

Bootcamps are the opposite. Quick compressed learning certified by a brand. Good for experienced developers learning a new language but lacking for the type who haven't used a computer before.

> must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief

Well, hard-working but not clever people will do useless work and create extra work overloading everyone else. BUT, this happens when they don't have good management and leadership above them, to prioritize and handle them bite-sized pieces, and to set their frame of mind to focus on "results in the bigger picture".

Probably putting "clever and lazy" and leadership roles is the cause for bad management and leadership which makes his "stupid and diligent" underperform in ways that drag everyone down.

Sayin' this as a "clever and lazy" person myself - I know that if I don't have someone I am responsible to (doesn't matter if it's a managers, partner, peer etc.) that is truly hard working and diligent is a recipe for total disaster. I'd rather be accountable to people way less creative, and even lower both IQ and EQ, as long as they come with a solid work ethic and focus to detail and they manage to drag me in this direction to! If the world would have only of people like myself in all leadership positions, nothing would ever get done, and the "diligent / hard-working" people will probably go crazy and either kill themselves or start wars.

There's a tender place in my heart for Pascal. The first language I was taught was Turbo Pascal (I had sort of taught myself QBasic before that, as much as one can from reading the help manual and stumbling through), and the built-in libraries was as close to the liberty and scope of Python as you could get in those days. It really inspired me to continue down the path of software development.

I also have fond memories of BBS door games and software, a large portion of which was built with Pascal.

I digress: but it's nice to reminisce about those old days.
Psychologists used to be people that listened to other people's problems and helped them out. Problems started to arise when they started thinking they are doctors and even started prescribing drugs to 'patients'. If you are given the label of ADHD or any of the new fancy labels, know that you are not 'sick'. Life is in your own hands and you can do something about it. The only benefit I see from this labeling is that it helps you find a community of like minded people. But still, it's a double-edged sword and many people treat it like a disease.

Kind of agree. There's been 4 catasrpohpic reactor meltdowns and there are ~400 reactors. That's a 1% failure rate. That's really bad. That's the status quo, which does not mandate continued low safety and lack of economic advantage. That's why there is R&D. Today what you say is true - great. Tomorrow, who knows.

Hulls said one of the key things that attracted him was that the ASX presented a viable way to avoid late-stage U.S. investment firms, who can offer quite a lot of money for start-ups but also add unfavorable terms for founders. For example, their money can come with preferences that make it hard for employees to make much money in an IPO or acquisition.

“You get these really big valuations, but they have a ton of structure on them,” Hulls said. “They’re really not clean terms.”

Students treat college as a jobs training program and as an investment of their time to get into a better life.

However, both the government and the schools do not treat college this way. If the government was wisely investing, they'd decide STEM Folks can get huge loans due to the long-term need for them and their relative scarcity, but "luxury" degrees such as art, history, music, etc majors can only take out tiny ones due to the lack of economic utility, with quota's set for each so that you do not over-supply the market with more labor than it can absorb. You need both long-term and short-term feedback systems and you need to fail people in programs who are unsuitable early on.

Furthermore, because college is about "building character and life skills", there's no control on accredited institutions that do not provide economically viable candidates. Which college students in what programs repay their loans vs do not? Where's that data? Surely that information is a matter of public record but students go to college courses, get A's, and come out the other end jobless or under-employed.

The net effect is children who's parents have never gone through college or continuing education programs, especially minorities, don't know to ask the above questions or how to navigate the system successfully, and the college administrators in order to make their millions, screw those kids and their families over 9 ways from Sunday as hard as they possible can because it's a dog-eat-dog world and screw em'. Think about it; please fill out your FASFA and tell me exactly how much money you make so I know how much to charge.

It's an unsustainable system and the only thing that gives it a some amount of legitimacy is the fact the loans are given by the government and people are allowed to do what they want with them. It's a system that is begging for regulation.

Best descirption I've heard that sidesteps the "oh yeah I can't read a book either" is that ADHD is about a deficit in intention.

Things that aren't "can't focus" that are symptoms of ADHD:

- bad temper
- speaking before thinking (followed by immediate regret)
- often making spur of the moment decisions without thinking of long-term consequences

The overarching thing being that lots of people with ADHD do things _despite knowing on a rational level that it's not a good idea_, because that thought usually isn't loud enough to actually stop your actions (at least not fast enough anyways).

There's always a bit of "yeah everyone has that" when you talk about laziness and lack of focus, making it feel a bit like an unfalsifiable diagnosis. But there's a lot of people who most definitely don't have bad temper issues or go binge drinking all the time (Though this isn't everyone with ADHD either of course).
Having ADHD one challenge for me is the todo list. My latest attempt to prioritize my activities is using email. I created two linux users "todo" and "done" then when I need to remember to do something I mail todo, when the task is done I forward the mail to done. Helpful article, hopefully more people will share their experiences that are often associated with shame and failure
Its not about other peoples expectations though, its also about our own.

Maybe you are okay with never finishing any project you start. I am not. It feels awful to me to start 10 Projects a month and never finishing any. It feels awful to me to be very sensitive to rejection, even though I realize the other person did not mean it like that.

> Saying ADHD is a disease is just as offensive to me as saying homosexuality is a disease to be cured.

You can not compare these like this. One is a sexual orientation, and the other is a inability to regulate yourself the way you want.

That line runs between "let's think about this as an interesting thought experiment" and "let's do this!" - People can and are manipulated even when they know they are being advertised. That has been shown time and time again. Advertising is psychological manipulation with another name.

I first saw a GP for my cyclical depression issues. She suggested I might have ADHD. I then got referred to a neurologist.

An Adult ADHD diagnosis can be hard as many Dr's work on the basis that ADHD is something that 'goes away' in adult hood. Which isnt really the case, and wasnt the case for me.

I was able to demonstrate childhood patterns that matched the disorder diagnosis; despite having a high IQ (for want of a better way to describe it), I have zero qualifications, failed at school, never went to uni and bounce from job to job. Always starting well, but then going off the rails. Where as my siblings are all exceptional performers in their careers. I was also the eldest, and suffered a high degree of stress in the womb and early childhood (for reasons I wont go into), which are contributing factors.

My impression is that nuclear works right now and that the risk is overblown, relative to all the other risks we incur.

Renewables are not working right now (see Germany) and they aren't necessarily cleaner, considering that all this infrastructure needs to be produced with ordinary industrial processes.

Of course it's not an either-or, renewables can make more sense in some places and not so much in others.
A very simple implementation of cell shading is to run the result of traditional lighting through a lookup table in the form of a 1D texture. Having runs and steps of solid color posterizes the smooth lighting input so that it resembles painted cell artwork.

A very simple implementation of outlining is to draw the object a second time solid black, with the vertex positions extruded out in the direction of the vertex normals, and with backface culling flipped so that you see only internal faces. Those black, internal faces peeking out around the edge of the regular mesh form the outlines.

That's a good starting point. Many iterations and improvements from there gets you to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhGjCzxJV3E

>Thorium [...] can't be used to produce weapons-grade Plutonium

Sure it can. Thorium breeder reactors do not burn Thorium as Thorium is not fissile. Thorium is fertile and a blanket of Thorium is used to generate fissile Uranium. It's pretty straightforward to introduce U-238 into the U-233 from the Thorium. Then at that point it's no different than breeding Plutonium in a traditional reactor.

The difference is that Plutonium is an unavoidable waste product for traditional reactors but you don't need to produce it operating a Thorium molten salt reactor.
My friends who also learned programing at young age, and later got a engineer degree, say they didn't become better at programming, but it sure helped to get a job.
> But of course, programming is hard. Most people don’t have the analytical/mathematical mindset necessary to be even competent programmers. All of these coding boot camps and public programs just capitalize on this misconception and wishful thinking.

It works both ways too; When bootcamps first popped up, I was dismissive of them until I realized that there was (to be fair, relatively new) high demand for people who could even do the bare minimum of stringing together CRUD apps, forming a labor market that had nothing to do with me, despite nominally being an "engineer". I think a lot of the pathologies of eng hiring stem from the broadness of the role "engineer", which just ends up causing credentialism and the metaphorical ghetto-ization wrt talent of parts of the stack, like frontend.
Interoperability is achieved if the same query with the same inputs yields the same result. "In the same amount of time" (which is the part that indexes are aimed at) is manifestly not part of that picture, and that's by design.

And "hints" in the language are not exactly going to improve "interoperability" if their meaning is still allowed to be implementation-defined, are they ?

Some network protocols use timestamps for security. For example, OAuth 1.0 HMAC used timestamps as part of its mechanism for preventing replay attacks.

I have no particular insight into what WhatsApp is doing, though.
I feel you. Not diagnosed with anything, but totally knowing how you feel/think through the day. Also running a company, also having the same issues, yet I think this "condition" is what differentiates you from all the rest and, if you don't give in, will bring you places "ordered" people will never see :) Scrap that diagnosis. Your brain works in a different way than others, use it to your advantage and stop comparing with them. They can't do what you can.

PS: I "medicate" myself with Weed. This helps me ordering thoughts a lot. Also it doesn't slow me down - quite the opposite.

Its both - programming is bimodal and becoming more so as we automate. A ton of programming is not really difficult, and cloud/SaaS keeps getting better to make those simple tasks trivial - eg setting up a small ecommerce store or a blog.

Meanwhile the hard stuff is out there, but increasingly being done by a few companies that sell it to the rest of the world.

So programming is becoming more bimodal and if you’re not on the hard curve it is going to become a lot less lucrative and a lot more competitive.
The author might have had more luck grepping through irc logs from the 90s. If they exist.

I was also born a bit too late but I was active on IRC during the last 3 years of the 90s and remember the term script kiddie being so much a part of the fabric of IRC that we had already started to type around it, so to speak.

For example instead of saying script kiddies I'd just call myself a kid and it would be implied. Sort of like self-defamation to humble myself before older irc cats.

The beauty of irc to me was in part its whimsical nature. Making up words was something that happened almost every day and no one batted an eye.

Also trolling was part of this whole scene and no one cared. Everyone knew how to handle trolls and if you didn't you were part of todays entertainment.

Today it's all bullying and people are going insane over trolling but back then it was just part of the game.

IRC was truly where culture existed in my opinion. After newsgroups and such, IRC was live. It happened every day, all day. And night. In that sense it would be a much better source for slang terms than zines.
The whole point about ios is that it’s a new paradigm. They don’t make it harder to lock you in, you just don’t need to do that anymore.

Neko has been around for 10+ years and is being replaced progressively by HL (HashLink, [1]), from the same creator.

It seems like MWLB should be able to provide the basis space for all other models, and looser networks like ConceptNet.

I imagine each concept a bit like a Chinese character, with radicals (basis set), composition using scaling and placement (metric space relations), along various abstract dimensions (meaning and sound in the case of the characters).

Yes, 500 bytes extra but it's not only for the developer discovering the API in a browser. If the client developer is exploring the API and then manually implementing an API client something is not right.

Well, LineageOS itself doesn't use microG, because the LineageOS developers seem as creeped out by signature spoofing as you. Stock LineageOS just goes without those Google services, so programs that need them won't work. microG make their own fork of LineageOS called LineageOS for microG that comes with signature spoofing enabled and microG installed, but it's a different product and not supported by the LineageOS developers.

I have been a few times to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. One of the few times I ever saw a perfectly clear sky (others were during a trip to Big Sur and in Iceland). Mojave is still on my TODO list. I hope I can go there next year.

And I would sleep outside too if I had property there (but in a hammock :)).
Just had to cut out a long digression in true ADD fashion. I'll save it for my future blog!

So in short list format, just sharing some methods I employ, sans digressions:

0. Awareness. Took way too long for me to reach it.

1. What is mentioned in the article: prioritisation! That needs to lead to routine. Hard work this, but most important, as I have to be able to engage auto-pilot for "non-interesting" tasks.

2. Sleep. Just do it. I have found out that lack of sleep takes me down hyper-focus lane. Great when you are alone and is tinkering along for a weekend. Not at all in basically all other scenarios. Hit bed before 11.

3. Eat and drink. Healthy and just enough. The effects are similar to #2 if I don't.

4. Physical activities. Go for a 20 min run. It is boring, but reach the point of proper sweating and keep going for another 10-20 min. The effects on me are amazing and in many ways resemble #5, only even better.

5. Breathe. Honestly, I have started practicing mindfulness and it just works for me. It takes me down into myself and allows me to spread focus.

On the bus right now, and this is what I can think of at the moment. Always a work in progress. I'll see about that blog...
I always used Neko as the default VM to run Haxe code. I used it the same way most people now use NodeJS: tooling, simple webserver, quick prototype.

These days, I start new projects in NodeJS because teams don't know about Neko. Which is a shame because Neko and the Haxe language solve most critisism of NodeJS and JS in general.
