> and pros don't do a lot of braking anyway.

That's just not true, there's plenty of braking in the mountain stages. I sincerely doubt that going 90-100Km/h into a hairpin is easier with rim brakes.

Ineos had two accidents this season on descents, first with Moscon in the Giro and then with Thomas in Criterium du Dauphine and even if they might have been just flukes, I'm sure the team is asking themselves questions.
I've heard good things about proton. I also have some games outside of steam on gog and epic, does it work with those too? How about streaming the games to an Nvidia shield on a nearby TV?
> Unbeknownst to investors, DraftKings’ merger with SBTech also brings exposure to extensive dealings in black-market gaming, money laundering and organized crime.

> Based on conversations with multiple former employees, a review of SEC & international filings, and inspection of back-end infrastructure at illicit international gaming websites, we show that SBTech has a long and ongoing record of operating in black markets.

> Contrary to representations made to Oregon’s state lottery, a former employee told us SBTech had extensive operations in Iran, violating local laws in a market subject to heavy U.S. sanctions. We were told SBTech knowingly operated there for 4-5 years with the founder directly overseeing the operation.
With Intel's acquisition of SiFive... for Windows to support RISC V they'd need to do that anyway. They did it for ARM64 (partially) and are struggling. They have to do bunch of stuff via emulation instead.
That list is looking suspiciously void of brakes that would have trouble fitting a 28 mm tire. Yes, disc brakes can be very good, but the gap is much smaller than must people would expect.
Very interesting to see that this concerns app stores as well as web browsers. Web browsers had not been mentioned in most declarations regarding anti-competitive investigations about Apple so far.

This is very important because Apple is preventing competition in web browsers engines, forcing competitor browsers (like Chrome and Firefox) to use the engine under Safari (WebKit), which they fully control. By doing so they deprive other browsers of most of their value, and prevent the development of web applications capable of competing with native applications, because they do not implement crucial features in WebKit, like push notification.
I only very recently learnt that some of the main ideas that are attributed to Thomas Kuhn have their origins in the works of Michael Polanyi[1].

"... Although they used different terminologies, both Kuhn and Michael Polanyi believed that scientists' subjective experiences made science a relativized discipline. Polanyi lectured on this topic for decades before Kuhn published The Structure of Scientific Revolutions." [2]

If you haven't checked out Polanyi yet, look up The Tacit Dimension — a very short book that talks about "tacit knowledge" (also discussed in uky.edu page, with attribution).

I feel your pain - it was extra annoying on a gaming HTPC that is configured to boot directly into Steam Big Picture mode. Since the only peripheral plugged into it was the gaming controller, I had to go look for a spare mouse and dig out the HTPC from under the TV just to dismiss that thing.
If the state can only regulate the economy, which is part of its core task and cannot be done by any other entity, or pump money into it, I'd absolutely prefer the former.
OS stability is not the thing that people are concerned about when criticising Windows 10. What has made me turn away from windows is the complete lack of trust I have that the OS will respect my privacy.

seeking diagnosis but seems very likely from professionals ive been assessed by.

just a note, i’m not looking for feedback or criticism of these things im experiencing.

accepting i might have adhd helped me in a few ways:

1. i could stop being quite so hard on myself for fucking up (usually organisational stuff)

2. i’ve started separating the parts of my identity i took on as an explanation for my needs (e.g low frustration threshold means i need minimalism and convenience). which is useful because now im starting to see what i “need” to function well and what i actually value.

3. ive started to build my life in ways that enable me to overcome stuff. e.g i thought i was very introverted and need alone time (and it turns out i am and do) but i need things to help me engage with boring tasks and other people are so engaging. so now i try to book in time to pair on boring tasks.

5. i absolutely cannot live without a todo list and a calendar. of i do not write it down, it is gone. i can finally accept this and stop trying to get better at remembering things.

there are numerous other things too that i will likely think of / discover as time passes.

Windows architecture is a mess, I wish more software companies would support Linux as cross platform compatibility gets easier each day but that doesn’t seem to be case.

Unfortunately it is really hard for game development companies to develop on Linux as most of the software used by artists require Windows to function. Hopefully one day my company will be able ditch Windows completely but it might take another decade.
Seems like "strong economic growth" is only for those who are well off.
Saddly the opposite is much more complicated.
The only thing that was outright good about 10 were the improvements in how the taskbar and window management works. Port that to 7 and call it a day, I say.
The difference is the modulation, especially with hydro discs.

Rim brakes are like drum brakes on cars, they are more binary with not enough braking power that then snap transitions to locking up.

hydro disc brakes let you brake hard and avoid lockups.
The future is decentralized marketplaces
I built this site to see whether a decentralized marketplace is viable in the creator economy. No marketplace, no passwords, no sign up required, upload a product, add a PayPal email, get a link to pay with. What do you guys think, could this work?

>It's time to weaken the legal privacy protections ...

I'm sure you do believe that, and that if you lift enough rocks for a long enough time, you will find a couple of weirdos who agree with you.

What you're basically saying is you want to relinquish legal protection in favor of technical protection.

First, you clearly have never been the target of the full force of the government (technical layers will be absolutely no protection), and second, thankfully, you're not a majority.
> the inability to just SCP a PDF or EPUB to the device and have it work (their sync software works but isn't great).

Are you aware of the web interface? It's only available over USB, and requires flipping a switch in the settings. That interface is so simple that I imagine that an scp replacement is just an novice-level curl invocation away.
Definitely try some of the alternate first-line medicines. For me, methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta in US) works wonders. Many people seem very happy with Strattera or Adderall.

My first few weeks were a rollercoaster, but the negative effects reduced significantly over time as I got used to the medicine and stabilised my dosage. And the positive effects are life-changing.

Well, the first problem with the Start menu is there are two of them.

But for example, a user wants to look up or change something to do with the configuration. How do they go about choosing which of these to try on the right-click Start menu: System, Device Manager, Computer Management, Settings.
So my take maybe isn't the healthiest on this, not sure.

If you believe you have ADHD, and your therapist believes you have ADHD, BUT your life isn't negatively impacted by it, why start treatment now?

Ask yourself if you have any negative impacts from ADHD. Ask your spouse. Personal relationships, professional work, all aspects. If the answer is no, then why bother?

Please don't use the word "pick". It sounds exactly like the Dutch word for penis.

Also don't use the word "could" because in Dutch that sounds like a nasty word for vagina.

Thanks for being considerate. There is nothing wrong with your English language, but sometimes it sounds offensive in mine.

Nah. I'm joking obviously. I do understand that in an international project with the dominance of English it makes it easier to take these things into account. I don't blame them for looking for a new name.

But the idea that the whole world changes their values and language constructs to not offend American sexual oppressive culture is still stupid. I do blame Americans for that.
Let’s say there are a dozen kids in the class. The library provided the monitors. How does the volunteer teacher get a dozen towers to and from the library? What do they do with a dozen towers in between classes? Would this be easier or harder with a dozen Pi 400s?
All the stuff they have recently released as open-source speaks otherwise. The problem why they will most likely never be able to open-source Windows is rather that they bought a lot of third-party components for the system that they simply aren't allowed to open-source. They'd probably have to rebuild half of the system to be able to open-source it, and that's the unlikely part.

Patrick Collison replying to an Economist Article that is pessimistic about European Tech Future:

yup...the article started with an outcome and a belief and found sought evidence to justify it. That this is the best evidence they can find? really?

It's not about agree or disagree...its just that if this is the best argumentation you can do for your point and hold that opinion in good faith, you should probably re-evaluate your point before you try and convince others of it.
Chromakey (2018)
I read PDFs (and highlight and annotate) on my RM2 daily. It's a _fantastic_ PDF reader, IMO. It's the ability to annotate that's killer for me. I mark things up extensively, writing notes in the margins, starring items, underlining, and writing on the RM2 screen is a paper-like writing experience.

It's e-reader software is a bit meh, so I still read books (fiction, mostly) on my Kindle Paperwhite.
I fully agree with the theoretical threat vector.

But is it an actual, practical, meaningful threat vector or an issue for the type of website I describe (empathically, NOT top 20 site, like Wikipedia is:)?

Everything in IT and IT Security is or should be an evaluation, a compromise of specific graphs of price and effort and impact and risk. My question is not "Should Wikipedia have HTTPS", but "Does every single one of remaining 15% of websites need to be encrypted", and that's not a persuasive argument.
I mean, you aren't wrong, but when your solution is "solve for the absolute victory of feminism" rather than "change a name" I have to wonder if you're being realistic.
I got it, got the medication (and it helped a ton). Then the next doctor said the last doctor was completely wrong. Now I have something completely different (and very different medication, which also helps but not quite in the same way). If you do get one I would urge you to carefully consider whether or not you want further investigation after that, especially if you're outside the norm mentally. Every new doctor you get will question every doctor you've ever had and want to redo everything, which takes a ton of time. Expect every doctor to add 12 months delay to whatever treatment you might to get.

That said, getting help at all if you have no other choice (i.e. you are objectively incapable of functioning) is a good idea. The real challenge lies in knowing when to call it a day :)

It is a renowned institute but I am not sure if 1283 people are enough for being representative. But most importantly you have to read the question carefully. It includes people not stating a controversial opinion to avoid an argument. Therefore the poll is vulnerable for misterpretation.

> When someone just gets cash grants without loosing sweet and blood how the fuck are they supposed to compete with people around the world who have that experience?

Somehow, "market forces" (in a certain not-literal sense) where supposed to take care of this. In an honest marketplace there exists a level of competition which keeps the participants honest.

Back when knowledge still needed a physical merchandise-like form to be transferred (even as printed books) this market-given-honesty pattern still somewhat worked. But the modern digital age has completely broken this.

There's just something fundamentally different about "cognitive commodities" (i.e. digital data) and "merchandise" (i.e. goods with physical exclusiveness) which completely changes things
Same for mattermost. Both are unmanageable in my opinion once you've used Zulip, Slack or more recently RocketChat.

An adhd diagnosis helped me a lot in my late 20s.

I took Ritalin for a brief period and it opened my eyes to different ways of seeing things. I actually believe in Ritalin more than adhd diagnoses. But it stopped being effective for me after a while, and same for most people i know. Also, side effects. But getting perspective helped me change certain behaviors which were causing problems for me.

But honestly, and this is very forward to say, I would stop seeing this therapist. I have had similar experiences to you, where I try to go to a therapist for one thing, and they send me down some other road entirely. This has never been helpful. Generally it has been destructive. Therapists are like everyone else, in that many of them aren’t that good. And just like how a bad mechanic can cost you money and ruin your car, so can a bad or even mediocre therapist screw up your life. Seriously. Don’t be pushed into some random diagnosis by some therapist who has some idea in their head.
There was a short window of time (anthropological scale) in the western world where this was seemingly true. The American conservative propaganda latched onto it and tricked people into thinking it was true. The fact is whenever quick upward mobility has been possible anywhere for a large number of people, it has been built upon slavery, colonialism and/or cheap imported labour. It was someone else's hard work that was the real source of abundance and hence upward mobility. "Hard work can't guarantee better life" is more the norm than the exception.
+1. If you're doing well & aren't curious to try prescription drugs, don't get diagnosed. Live your life, no need to bother being classified somewhere in the non-NT taxonomy where if you're not acting weird in the same way as everyone else you need to be labelled with your brain put in the appropriate cupboard of mason jars
Hard work doesn't imply productivity or progress.

ASCII art and permadeath: The history of roguelike games (2020)
This problem will never get fixed. The author forgot to mention in depth the main reason why EU isn't even in the game: culture.

In order to be innovative and compete, we need very flexible working laws, people with a big growth mindset, a less relaxing lifestyle and AMBITIOUS people.

A lot of third world countries are years ahead of the whole EU continent in that aspect. I say this because I live in Europe for the quality of life, come from a third world country, and I see how kids and adults are spoiled here. Much of what they have was just given to them. At least for the strong countries in west EU, lifestyle is very relaxed and any ambitious is frowned upon, it is extremely demotivating, not to mention bureaucracy. Corporations and regulations will just drive your small company out of the market no matter what.

I find for me more likely to save some money, move to my country and create my own business and sell in Europe. People here are too lazy to compete in the fast world we live in, there in my country there is so many skilled people, so little capital, here is the reverse. Good amount of capital and foreigners working in tech. For instance, I live in Berlin and almost all the "working people" from tech companies here are foreigners. Germans are generally the executives and/or management. It is quite rare to find a german software developer on Startups.

I personally think(my opinion, not the ultimate truth)... that Europe is definitely a very interesting market for companies to come here and sell their stuff, but not to make it.

Instead I think Europe should focus on its strengths, which is healthy market regulations, creating a good playing field for companies from above, rather on its weaknesses. It should also figure out a way to keep part of the profits inside the continent to benefits its inhabitants.

More important than competing is to know where and when to compete.
I’ve worked my ass off every opportunity I have gotten to do so. It certainly hasn’t made my life any better. It has shown me that those in charge rather like those below them working hard for no benefit whatsoever however.

Yes, the government allows itself to lie. The CIA famously abused a polio vaccine campaign to spy on people, possibly killing many people indirectly.

I'd recommend everyone who thinks he or she has ADHD to keep in mind that there are clinics who literally make money by diagnosing you. So make sure you don't go to one of those. This is a problem, even in the Netherlands https://www.trouw.nl/zorg/in-de-adhd-fabriek-is-de-diagnose-... I wish I could find a translated version for you.

Anyways, Methlyphinidate (ritalin) should be your very LAST step. Before that, clean up your workspace, disable distracting apps on your phone and computer, use a site blocker... And consider that a lack of discipline is not caused by ADHD.

I speak with experience here, because I was "diagnosed" with this "mental illness" before it was cool, about two decades ago, when the teachers noted I couldn't pay attention in class. Took ritalin for about a decade. Always thought I had trouble concentrating, like I was told right? Well, a few years ago I rented an office space with a friend of mine, just the two of us in a very spacious (100m2), light and well-ventilated office. We received no phone calls, there were no people walking in, or cats and girlfriends asking for attention. I had less distractions than I had at home, and much less than in a traditional office. And it was a dedicated area for "work". A comfortable desk and chair, two monitors and a fast pc.
Having worked in such a proper environment, I will never say I have trouble concentrating again.

Anyways, what exactly do you think you have to gain by being "diagnosed" with ADHD?
You need a way to make sure whatever WASM database you bundle with your front-end app actually persists data somewhere in a transactional way. You cannot do that if you do not have a transactional data store as a WebAPI at first place. Local storage isn't.
To be fair, Linux distros change even faster than that, but it's pretty annoying that neither of them can make a single version that lasts more than a decade. I don't want to keep upgrading software my whole life, as if I need a new hammer every few years because nails keep "innovating"

A lot of people seem to equate long hours with hard work.

If you spend many hours a day on auto-pilot, are you working hard?
Today's ethos seems to be get yours hook or crook so you can basically cash out of society.
It's really not. It's like mandatory reporting for diseases like whooping cough and west Nile virus. Something only gets on the list if it has known risks.

Afraid of what data? Should we start collecting data on every time anyone gets the sniffles? To get on this list the vaccines need to have proven risks
There is a fair bit of co-evolution of the Linux BPF verifier and the BPF llvm backend. This means that the verifier is biased to do well on bytecode that is commonly emitted by clang. I can imagine that other programming languages will run into the verifier rejecting their output if it differs to much from common clang output. (There is redbpf which compiles rust to BPF AFAIK, but it still uses llvm. There is also a gcc BPF backend, but I don't have experience with that.) The good news is that Linux upstream is receptive to bug reports!
That sounds like a very unhelpful response. People with ADHD are known to suffer much higher rates of divorce, because ADHD is largely emotional dis-regulation.

ADHD is often ignored in 'high-functioning' adults who present with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues but it is often the root-cause of these problems.

If a therapist suggest at least exploring ADHD then assume they have very good reason to do so!
