You can have your cake and eat it too by initially generating a series of small commits and then going back later to reorder them and squash them into a much shorter series of logically coherent commits.

This makes it way easier for someone (possibly you) looking later to understand what was done and why.

(I once almost took a job where the repo was just a series of huge commits taken at more or less regular intervals, but with no logical coherence and no attempt to document what was happening. Noped right out of there.)
Can someone either explain the use case for this to me, or explain what I'm missing? Too small to be of any use to me, no street names... maybe it's just a "cool" thing you put on a mug or get printed on a T-shirt?

I'm probably just not in touch with my inner artist and am too quick to look for the functional / business purpose of this.

By the way, really solid work and very kind of the author to share this. I can still appreciate it even if I don't see how I'd ever need to use it.
Using these templates does help understand good layout because the examples have already shown 85% or more of how a common consumer or saas app needs to display web UI. By implementing them, mixing and matching, you get a feel for how it aught to be because there are plenty of examples.

Simply by using these you can become more mindful of design. Asking a dev to start from zero and learn design is not realistic and for a potential solo technical startup founder a waste of time.

If designers don't understand bootstrap layouts that's fine. But if a developer doesn't they are not trying. And these templates don't fall apart from small changes, they are built responsive from the get go and have tons of helper classes so developers can still alter them without hacking them up.

Our Drinking Water is about to get more contaminated
So I'm not a researcher, just a sufferer, but my understanding is that yes, emotional regulation issues are common with ADHD. Attention-deficit is kind of a misnomer; a lot of doctors now think "executive functioning disorder" would be a better name. Executive functioning is sort of the layer that sits on top of our underlying systems - whether they be behavioral or emotional - and allows us some level of conscious agency over that stuff.

Poor executive functioning is why I could never make myself start writing a paper prior to the day or two before it was due, despite the rising sense of panic I would get for weeks. (This is key -- it's not laziness, because good lord did I wish I were able to do the work. To me, lazy ~= apathy, and what I felt was just about the polar opposite of apathy.)

Poor executive functioning is also why, unmedicated, it was sometimes difficult to not let my initial emotional reactions just come flying out. It was like there was an express lane between my limbic system and my action system, totally bypassing my ability to control it. I would find myself snapping out something and as it was coming out of my mouth, I would be kicking myself and thinking "Why in god's name am I saying this right now?"

Medication has helped with all of the above and more.

What I will say is that stimulants also can have a tendency to put some people on edge and increase sympathetic nervous system activity, so shorter temper could be a side effect for sure. If it's affecting you that strongly, maybe speak with your doctor about a slightly lower dose?

Or is there a possibility that you only became aware of your tendency to have a short temper once you became medicated? An interesting chicken/egg question; I'm just asking rhetorically, mind, because I have a lot of similar questions.
Whenever I hear about or see the .vimrc and .emacs files people create, maintain and constantly modify to me this just looks like the perfect example of a sunk cost fallacy.

IDEs are usually dismissed by many such people since you can (allegedly) do the same in vim/emacs but to me this seemed crazy as I'd see people spend hours configuring plugins, writing Lisp and whatever to save them on some task they'd get for free with a right click in IntelliJ.

I really do think people completely underestimate how much time they have and will invest in such endeavours. I mean if this makes you happy or you like this tinkering, by all means be my guest, but I'll take a hard pass.

The gohttp library seems to do a lot less than what gunicorn/werkzeug/flask does. I would guess this is what makes the drastic performance difference, not the fact that the HTTP handler is written in go. I'm surprised that it was so close to go-net/http performance, though.

Yes, indeed. All the tools, all the time, always available. Something like writing a macro in Lisp. All the language is there at your disposal and it's nothing compared with C macros where you have huge limitations, it being actually a different language than C. I feel your pain with the VSC example.

"Consistency" is a good word. The result, for me at least, is that I can actually think about what I want to do with the tool and not how to use it. It gets out of the way, it does not try to fight me.

I think maybe that's one interpretation of the saying "Emacs is an operating system".

Very cool. I've been doing "the mind illuminated" technique for the past 4 months and it's slow going - I'm assuming because of my ADD. I am, however, far more patient with my children and content with my life in general when I meditate. I haven't seen much improvement in my ADD however, but I'm going to give it a few more months of 1hr / day practice before I try medication.

I don't think this is comparable. World emulation exists outside of technology, and has specific meaning (pretending to be something else).

Also in this case (unlike word "hacker") the word isn't used incorrectly. It's just more broad than most people think. It's only WINE that claims itself to not be emulator, despite in early FAQ calling itself Windows Emulator.

Can second this, I started on Adderall but it has severe side effects for me. I read up on it and due to the Left handed amphetamines in the formula it causes more parasympathetic nervousness system stimulation as opposed to central nervousness system stimulation which is what the dextro-amphetamine target. You may want to try Dexedrin which is only dextro-amphetamine or Desoxyn which is methamphetamine. In my case after reading I asked the Doc if I could try Desoxyn and given Adderall was night and day for me, Desoxyn was like a superpower. Methamphetamine more easily crosses the blood brain barrier so there is less left in the body for the PNS. So you can take lower doses, get less physical effect, while getting more pronounced mental effect. Desoxyn should be the front line medicine for ADD/ADHD but it's old, cheap and not under patent.

The genetic predisposition stuff has been underwhelming. I'm going to just make up an example, so keep in mind that I openly told you this is made up. Basically they put things in alarming terms. For example, after clicking through some confirmations that you are OK with learning the information, you might encounter things like: "You have an elevated predisposition to Snooferitis, with a 50% higher risk than average." And 50% sounds really scary, the way they put it. Then when you drill into it you see that the general population has a 0.2% risk of developing Snooferitis, and your risk is 0.3%, so that is, wow, elevated.

ymmv. There are definitely cases where things are more cut and dry (and possibly very not good) and sometimes the click-through confirmations about wanting to learn the information are seriously justified. But a lot of the elevated risk information just feels like fluff.
> Yes, but those weren't the countries that had successful info campaigns against that sub-population, to my knowledge.

Yes, the Poles were not trying to kill all the Jews in Poland. But "othering" Jews in Poland was _very_ par for the course, as was violence directed at them, discrimination against them, etc.
Would you rather drive a nice car that needs some loving care and maintenance once in a while or an old banger that just gets the job done? It's the same sort of prospect.

Some people like to work in a nice environment where they are able to remove all the little frustrations that less customizable tools often force upon you. When emacs annoys you at least you can fix it if it is annoying enough for you to want to do so.

In any case neither choice is wrong or right. Do whatever floats your boat.

I get what you’re saying but it’s not just the fact that the whole country is covered in CCTV (private or otherwise, and btw I find private cameras to be more dystopian frankly because you can’t audit them.) There has always been a sentiment in UK government similar to America that justifies an all-seeing entity (GCHQ) who’s motives are implicitly good and thus they are beyond having to answer to the public. The secrets act itself is something that makes the UK even worse than America in this way.
> ...and wanting to show people

I still don't quite get this need to show strangers. I've had it explained to me, but I'm pretty sure it is part of a cultural shift, i.e. I'm old.

Like, if stranger's approval is needed, doesn't that mean you're LESS likely to do something since it isn't guaranteed? Or maybe it is easier to start something BECAUSE there are so m any strangers willing to offer support. Either way it seems like putting success/fail in the hands of external forces.

> Not wishful thinking, you'll still have to work hard to get to where you wish you were.

Yeah, exactly. The accomplishments in my life with the most meaning are the hardest ones. But I don't know if that's universal. I read the book "Flow" in 1991 and it changed my life, and your quote is kinda the central thesis.

So you claim you know the answer but you don't share with us. That is wtf. You had really good points up there but its not clear at all what is the conclusion for the original question.

They'd probably be claiming ownership of the new company based on the fact that they own their employee's work product.

In reality they will get far enough into the case to determine whether or not they (likely) own any of the business and then settle for a tidy sum or some stock or something like that. They're probably also interested in locking up an IP the company owns (which is probably more important than the money).

Sending a message is a nice perk.
Two common examples (among many more):

- Google Maps in saving a great deal of time when travelling from one physical location to another.

- Google News, in Google serving me up information I legitimately want to know, only because it tracks so much of the activity I'm doing online. This actually helps my productivity, it relates back to my line of work.

The list goes on. Full and meaningful participation in society in 2020 requires being tracked.

This is an example of a "fact" that I'm talking about. It's not a fact, it's an opinion being presented as fact. I guess if you present yourself this way online you have no problem with Google controlling what "facts" are found when you use their search engine.

I guess I'll just have to wait until they start peddling a perspective you disagree with.

Just remember that this is the comment we're discussing... how does one determine if a statement is slander?

Or did someone at Google form an opinion, then decide their opinion is the one that should be presented as "fact" on the most popular search engine in the world?

Hi, author here.

Since I wrote this article, I got professionally diagnosed and treated. Turns out, yeah, I'm doing a lot better now. On most days I don't have these symptoms, I can in fact study for classes and work, while also doing the things I love. I'm getting back into doodling, I've schedules all the appointments I need to, I have a great friend group, etc. etc. It's not perfect, I relapse sometimes, but I'm doing a lot better.

I'm not claiming everyone that procrastinates has ADHD. I'm claiming that it's a potential cause of chronic procrastination.

Also, I really can't afford to live in the woods for a few months. I still need to pay for rent and food and healthcare and such. I'm glad that's an option for you but I can't do that.
Is that while the medication is at its peak, or more toward the tail end of the cycle? The extended amphetamine release Vyvanse, for example, can leave you feeling tired after it wears off. Especially on "vacations", like weekends or other extended periods, until you readjust. Such exhaustion would likely shorten anyone's temper, but especially someone with ADHD.

Oh, that's brilliant! I'd seen this described before, but not distilled down to that specific order. Thank you!
> this is just a curiosity with no use

Small sample size, but I was adopted and didn't know my genetic background or have any family medical history. When I've been ill I hadn't been able to provide that medical information when the doctors requested it.

Thanks to 23andMe I not only know a lot more about myself, but I also found my biological parents who are married to each other and wonderful, and who have two twin sons. So suddenly I have a second set of parents, two full brothers, and three more nieces and nephews and they're all incredibly welcoming, great people who I visit often.

So I'm very happy that 23andMe exists.
What if I don't give a shit about being "20% scottish" and only care about relatives-I-didn't-know-I-had and genetically-heritable-illnesses and my parents' reports were clean?
I ask myself what's the smallest, dumbest, least-coupled program I could possibly write to get the job done. Turns out that the answer is often "very", and short, simple programs are a lot easier to produce bug-free and work with over time.
I use Emacs every day. But only for org-mode which is fantastic.

Besides that I really really tried hard to love Emacs as my go-to editor. However I found no alternative for

decent CSV file support (like https://github.com/chrisbra/csv.vim simply great!)

Inspecting large XML files with syntax highlighting and folding. VIM is also not the fastest here but at least 10 times faster (emacs SGML mode is a joke for xml files and forcing xhtml mode of web-mode is also not that great)

Maybe all my emacs doing was just wrong.

Why? Here's an analogy. People that are in charge of defending kings are pro castles (it helps them defend their kings). People that are in charge of killing kings are anti castles (it is easier to kill a king if they aren't in a castle).

This doesn't really match up to what I see, which is the people who find fascism attractive also idolizing and politically supporting the wealthy. Usually the people admittedly wanting to "rock the boat" are talking about social politics, which leaves little room for sympathy when the tool used is fascism. It speaks of hatred and nihilism, not desperation and inequality.

I had not used python for like 5 year, since when I migrated all my work to go. Recently I went back to python and was shocked to see how hard (relatively) it is to setup a (moderately) high performing web server in python.
I mean in my case I had a “data science” type application and sometimes a request would block and take a second to finish, and this meant a handful of users would bring the server to it’s knees (due to extremely high mem usage I could not have a lot of indepentend worker processes running at the same time),

I wish I could call python code from within a go web server with some ease and safety.
> Wojcicki has theories

Think the obvious one is that the results are shared and whether someone is a criminal or not (or will be one in the future), people are not particularly comfortable with sharing to parties they didn't initially trust it to for the purposes they trusted it for.

Anecdotally, I bought a 23andme kit (just the genealogy one) but never submitted it because the labeling was to send it to the lab in the next town that manages the company I work for's drug screenings. Well, I don't think I have any pre-existing conditions and certainly don't do drugs, but I don't know about any unknowns on the health side that could impact my insurance if they were to share it to the company. Forget that.
QE and low rates has been bad for the banks, in a perspective of having kept them all alive.

Think about the Euro crisis as another example. Zero rates and ECB buying all the sov and fin debt bailed out banks that would have gone under.

If 30% of the banking system collapsed, then surviving institutions would probably have profitability consistent with historical rates.

But keep everyone alive, and bring rates to zero, and you squeeze margins both with excess competition, and compressing the diff between the rates they lend and the rates they borrow.

Realizing this made a hugely drastic improvement to my emotions, my ability to control them and my ability to focus on things and pay attention. Learning to quiet that voice or just ignore it when I need to is a skill I think everyone should learn and would benefit from.
