Recently went back to ios after a few years in the android sphere. Didn't realise how spoilt I had been until I tried to get some video and .mp3 files onto the device! After looking around for a while I found a very simple method using VLC and their local wifi network sharing feature. Big love forevrr vlc, always there in my time of need.
In case it's helpful for anyone else who, broadly speaking, has trouble with attention or learning though isn't convinced its ADHD: get your eyes checked.

"Due to similar symptoms, an undetected visual dysfunction can be misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD, dyslexia or a reading disability. A comprehensive eye exam, which rules out a binocular vision dysfunction, is critical to determining if vision is a contributing factor."

See: http://walesby3d.com/vision-learning/ and http://walesby3d.com/what-is-vision-therapy/

For years I had trouble concentrating and sticking with a task. It felt like my eyes were exhausted even after a few hours of simple computer work, so I was constantly getting up and looking away and taking breaks. This led to not even wanting to pay attention or focus on anything at all, especially on screen, because I knew I wouldn't be able to stick with it. It felt like my brain was mush.

Fast forward almost five years of twitching from one task to the next, it started to feel like my vision was getting worse. I wasn't having any luck getting my prescription right with the eye doctor I had been seeing, so I went to another doctor, then another, then another, until one doctor refused to write me a new prescription because she picked up on a slight muscle imbalance in one of my eyes, which was preventing my eyes from tracking and converging together.

She sent me to a pediatric vision specialist (they'll see adults) who primarily deal with muscular dysfunction in the eye—these folks quite literally changed my life.

Turns out I have all sorts of muscular issues with one of my eyes, which causes both eyes to work overtime trying to coordinate and focus together. This led to tired eyes, and a tired, sleepy brain. Long story short, it took a few months to get the prescription just right, along with some initial vision therapy, but once I got used to the new glasses, my ability to focus returned almost overnight. Everything felt so much calmer—reading, writing, thinking, driving, speaking.

These days, after a handful of changes to my prescription over the years, I've reached a dead-end with lens corrections, so surgery is the only option left if things get worse. But so far, the glasses with appropriate corrections have been absolutely incredible.

Anyway, I just wanted to post this in case it's helpful to someone who is lurking with tired eyes and a fractured attention span. You want an optometrist with F.C.O.V.D after their name, someone who specializes in binocular vision and muscular dysfunction.
Yes, and this is a very important point.

Many newly diagnosed ADHD patients make the mistake of thinking that they don't need therapy or self-help techniques now that they have stimulant medication. That's wrong. The stimulant medication should be used as an adjunct to therapy, self-habit, and developing good self-control techniques. The initial motivational boost of a new stimulant prescription won't last forever (concentration-enhancing effects do persist, though). However, good self-control habits will last a lifetime.

A (rather iffy) analogy is like a man trying to lift weights with very low testosterone. Going to the gym still helps, but it's an uphill battle to put on muscle until the underlying issues are corrected. However, fixing testosterone alone won't get you into great physical shape. You still need to put in the work to make the most of the corrected physiological condition.
The effects of stimulants is an upside down parabola. Too much and you actually get worse. However they always make it easier to sit with stuff like homework, so it makes parenting easier even when their kid don't need it and the medication actually hurts the kid. Therefore I think it is wrong to medicate a kid before they are mature enough to make their own decisions about medication.

I do know that medication helped me a lot, I got diagnosed as an adult though. I don't think I would have liked it if I was diagnosed as a kid and got pills with ever increasing dosage forced on me just so I would stay quiet in class.
Awesome! So I can get a 7% return and all I have to do is trust random strangers with ALL of my money.
I think VLC is probably the piece of software I've used continuously the longest, mostly because I've always taken it with me when ever I switched between Windows, Linux and Mac over the past probably 18 or 19 years I've been using it.
Thank you. In the link in your reply to a sibling thread, you asked for donations, and I'm happy to oblige. I know you're based in France, but is there a U.S. non-profit entity I could donate to (e.g. SPI)? The reason being that $WORK will match my donation, but sadly VideoLAN is not on the approved list.
I didn't know VLC was a French project. It's quite interesting.
I made my own poshmark closet assistant
Poshmark-Auto-Share (gate kept software)

For any poshmark vendors, sharing the closet consistently is a big part of keeping good traffic to the shop. This can get tedious as the number of listings get large and needing to share them multiple times a day.

My S.O would often complain about this, and I took a look online to see if there is any software that automates this.
Not surprisingly, there were bunch of chrome extensions that allowed auto-sharing. What was surprising to me was, they were all subscription-paid services, with some trial.

Why is something so simple to develop gate-kept as paid services?

This frustrated me enough to do some research and make my own chrome extension that auto shares the closet, including an auto-load function that was missing(but highly needed) from all the other extensions.

So here is my own completely free auto share extension. Spread the love to all the Poshmark vendors! No more paying for this ridiculously simple program.

Titers are measured before, after first jab and before second, so logistically this is pretty easy. The methods are described in the paper. It’s basically a couple of blood draws and quite simple to get a cohort based on questionnaire given that there’s 20M confirmed cases in the US.

This seems like an efficient study that could increase vaccination rate since people are more likely to get one dose rather than two. For many people, traveling to a vaccination appointment is a big deal.

This also serves to help convince people who have had COVID the value in getting a vaccine.

Either a bad reading or you have forced air heat and a lot of air exchange sucking out all the moisture you just added.

I have the same model in a medium sized room, with the hygrometer on the other end of the room where it is open to the rest of the house and the second floor. About 3/4 of a tank yesterday bumped us from about 17% humidity to 22%, with a fire going in the fireplace.

> We will always be open source, and we make money by charging a per-user subscription for our commercial version which will contain fine-grained authz, bring-your-own OIDC and custom domains.

Seems to me that these are at odds. If you're open source, why does anyone have to pay for these things?

If you're open core, I think it's
mighty misleading to say things like "We will always be open source" because then not only is it untrue on its face, but also if someone contributes useful features to the open source project that compete with or supplant your paid proprietary bits, you are incentivized to refuse to merge their work - extremely not in the spirit of open source.

My perspective, which you asked for, is that open core is dishonest, and that you should be honest with yourselves about being a proprietary software vendor if that's indeed your plan, and stop with the open source posturing.

If I've misunderstood you, then I apologize.

If you elect to do this (I also did this, at one point in my life), think twice if your stove is gas. There's increasing evidence that gas stoves lower the air quality in your home, especially in apartments with poor ventilation:

Oh, I see what you mean, and yes I agree.

I would word it differently, that the set of documents in your DHF, MDR, 510(k) filing, etc. are identical regardless of the methodology you use to create them.

Some of the language around them sounds "waterfall-y" but you are perfectly welcome to iterate on these documents. The documents themselves are more about engineering practice than process, and are an output of whatever process you use, much like the software is.

True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!”

As always, the only real answer is to consult with your doctor. Taking breaks from medication isn't a terrible idea, especially if you hate it. The real problem is the people who associate taking the pill with getting work done, to the point that they forget how to accomplish anything without first reaching for the medication. The key is to break that connection before it becomes a craving for medication.

> I don't like being on stimulants though.

It's very possible that you're on too high of a dose, or that you'd do better on an alternative medication. There are at least 4 different classes of ADHD medication, 2 of which aren't traditional stimulants. Guanfacine is remarkably effective, for example, but it's nowhere near as popular because it's much less enjoyable than stimulants during the ramp-up phase.

> The only time I feel the need to abuse them

Yikes. If you ever find yourself feeling the "need to abuse" a medication, I strongly recommend you keep an eye on those tendencies. That's the kind of warning sign than can spiral into addiction if you ever find yourself burdened by some unfortunate life circumstances (the trigger).
> partly because Google didn't show enough commitment to it. Those studios that they just shut down were the best proof of their commitment.

I dunno about that. Counter example: YouTube got huge before Google made original content for it. So, I don't buy the whole "not serious cuz they don't have first party content" argument.

Databricks is good as a managed Spark platform.

They have thought about how they can improve the DS experience. Inconsistent storage? DeltaLake. Slow Spark queries? Databricks Delta. Model management? MLFlow (I haven't adopted this, but can't pin down why -- on face value it seems great). Development environment? Databricks Connect. Cluster management? Core.

But the same is not true for SQL analysts. Today's offering does not empathise with them. I'm unsure integrating Redash is a genuine reply to their needs.

The upside here is that (1) Databricks (or at least, Databricks' marketing) appears to be prioritising this need, and (2) A lot of people are betting a lot money that they can do this well.

Tomorrow looks sunny.
> For folks without ADHD, you should know that stimulants, like Ritalin and Adderall, do not usually cause the same response as in non-ADHD people.

I can confirm; I have ADHD and this even applies to stronger stimulants like cocaine. Cocaine doesn't do much for me, so I never understood why my friends were always bouncing off the walls while I was just chilling, like "what's the big deal with this drug". I didn't get it until I was diagnosed with ADHD and understood how our brains are wired differently.

Really not looking to forward to living in a ideocracy dependent upon proprietary software and black-box models. One is enough.
You are mistaken about some things (I am an OpenJDK developer who works at Oracle). Oracle is the company that develops OpenJDK in a similar sense to how Google develops Chromium. Sure, other companies and individuals contribute, and some contributions are big impactful features, like the wonderful Aarch64 port by Andrew and others, but the lion's share of the work is done by Oracle.

Also, OpenJDK has always been the name of the open part of Sun's, and later Oracle's JDK; it's just that Oracle has made that part 100%. It's not some separate implementation. If you go to the OpenJDK homepage and click the download link, you will get the OpenJDK builds by Oracle that are free and come without support. "Oracle JDK" is the support service. Yes, it's great that Oracle open-sourced the entire JDK, but its investment in developing it has increased not decreased.

Now, OpenJDK has no notion of LTS whatsoever. LTS is a service offered by any company for any version, although most companies offer it for the same versions Oracle chooses. In any event, you weren't referring to LTS but to OpenJDK Updates. Oracle leads the bug and security-fix updates for all versions for six months. After which, other contributors may step up to continue leading the maintenance of updates for old versions for as long as they won't, but they don't do original maintenance, but rather backport patches from the mainline.

~90% of the full-time OpenJDK contributors are employed by Oracle, and close to 100% of the changes to the specification are done by them (you don't have to take my word for it; you can look at the list of teams and projects, http://openjdk.java.net/census, and get the people's company at https://db.openjdk.java.net/people; all active projects and teams are led (and mostly done) by Oracle employees, except for some ports, Shenandoah, and backports to old releases. Don't get me wrong -- we work with contributors from other companies every day, and they do more and more and that's exciting and amazing -- but we also do more and more.

Anyone can build and distribute OpenJDK binaries, but to do so under a different license from the OpenJDK license requires obtaining the code from Oracle under a different license.
Do you really think "non-gamers" are going to be converted by this? At this point if you're a "non-gamer" it isn't for lack of availability.

You seem to be using "non-gamer" as a synonym for "too inexperienced to use basic modern technology", which I don't think is a widespread problem outside of age ranges that didn't grow up with the internet. A much bigger group is surely just people that aren't that interested in video games. (Unless you think Stadia is actually going after the geriatric market, which seems short sighted.)
A bank, brokerage account, or index fund would have FDIC or SIPC insurance coverage.
1) AFIAK there are no hard and set rules for this. I think this would have to be the manufacturer's judgement call. Good point though, with enough time you may end up just over-fitting to the test set.

2) The FDA's guidance on ML models is still in flux. Please see https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/software-medical-device-...

While I'm familiar with train simulators, from the related videos I just discovered a weird kind of one that's completely news to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcNTQhT5cx8

Rather than rendering in 3D, it's literally just a driver's eye video of a real train journey played at variable speed. Actually genius if you think about it - the linearity of a rail simulation makes it possible, and it's better than any renderer.
