Of course it’s an empty threat. Nothing we are doing is illegal or even immoral. You people are literally entitled children. The responses to my comment have encouraged me to expand the system to include minutely screenshots, so I can replay their work as a video at 20x speed. Now when I combine this with standard productivity measures I have an extremely good idea of how they work or don’t work. Also the response to a 20 min inactivity auto disconnect has been hilarious, some of them seem to have set timers to wiggle the mouse periodically to keep the remote sessions open. It’s sad. Of course the best is the real developers, they focus in bursts, it’s typical 60-90
min bursts of activity, lots of keyboard and mouse events, and it corresponds well to their productivity, they are the people
who really produce quality code, good commits, solves bugs, it’s impressive. Of course they take hours long breaks regularly and that’s great, who cares, they kill it when they work. The secret window I have into their behavior is a goldmine, we know who is valuable much more clearly now. And the excuses for the slackers, I can just pretend I believe them, but now I know. Who is stuck and who is a schmuck. Nothing wrong with being stuck, banging head against wall, I can help them now, let’s me focus on who needs my help.

Love to see you try and prosecute me. Slacker!

I was diagnosed almost a year ago at age 30.

I think 'How would this help me?' is a great question to explore. I'm quite different to you as I struggle to maintain a full time job or a consistent relationship. Adults with ADHD have often developed coping methods and systems that work well for them.

Even if you are diagnosed you don't have to take any particular course of action. Medication is not mandatory.

After I was diagnosed I tried concerta. I didn't really feel it helped me a lot. I am currently in part time work but struggling to progress in my career. 8 years in and I'm still a junior and I think my condition is a big contributor.
> I didn’t need comments if I wrote self-documenting code.

More than any other approach to coding (x-based-development etc), this has come up most frequently for me personally, and it astounds me how many people have this mentality.

Comments are a way to break out of whatever terse syntax your given language requires and speak directly to the developer. A single comment can house so much more context and insight the best-formatted code could ever hope for. When the only downside is some holier-than-thou idea of "I shouldn't be doing this" (despite the fact you clearly need to), I'm surprised so many people fall for this terrible mentality.
Thanks for the background, it makes more sense now.
> Non-slave adults ...

Such a poor choice of words.

I loosely agree with your point, which I interpret to mean that generalized computing is endangered.

But it's endangered because the alternative experience is superior for most humans exercising their free choice.

It has nothing to do with slavery, or ignorance. This makes the problem much harder to solve.
Thanks for the insight, that was very well written and you've actually changed my opinion on this. Previously I would have been all in favour of long-lasting public criminal records, but it's quite clear how they fail to adequately capture the larger story, or account for redemption of any kind.
Well it's been burnt to the ground, they wiped services and started anew on a different IRCd. And I noticed that user's hostnames are hidden by default now. Things like "@freenode-tbu.1hs.4lttne.IP" & "freenode-0ji.04k.68srct.IP."

Making everyone more anonymous seems very chan-like.

> Marxism has nothing to do with Critical Race Theory

This is just incorrect. Critical Theory is a product of the Frankfurt School. They were explicitly applying Marxist thought to twentieth century politics, and wanted to understand why Marxism wasn't successful in the west.

This is a basic matter of record, not some wing-nut attempt to slander. Critical Theory is reworked Marxism to try to apply it to the modern West.
Because writing a(a,b) is not ok even if comments are great, so why not make the method name a clear enough verb that comments are often unnecessary.

The problem is that not everyone code under the same circumstance, even inside the same codebase: you have the new joiner that has to reverse engineer most of what he uses, the senior who did or touched enough that he doesnt even see the color code for comments, the rushing helper who need to fix a bug now or else and cant maintain comments or he'll miss the deadline, etc.

Comments are sacrified first, tests seconds, code clarity third, correctness in edge cases next, etc. Embracing the reality that we're going to have to deal with crap once in a while would solve a lot of frustration.
Yes. Unless your explanation is thousands of words (which it probably shouldn't be), just inline it. I only speak for me, but if I had to look up (potentially multiple) Jira tickets just to understand what was happening in a source file, I wouldn't be at that job very long.
> It provides impetus to the government to make it as frictionless as possible.

Ahahahaha. Have you tried dealing with American bureaucracy? None of it is frictionless, it’s all horribly inefficient and fragmented, and one party is steadfastly committed to keeping it that way, and the other party only vaguely recognizes how big of a problem it is. Voting needs to be made easier, but making it compulsory would not automatically do that.

edit: besides which, voting already takes me only about 5 minutes. The problem is that that experience, which I have as a wealthy white person in a liberal suburb of a blue state, is not universal.

Chicken or egg?

I'm inclined to think that the way the stereotypes were started and then perpetuated to begin with was they reported the persons color in news stories for decades for everyone who basically wasn't white. Couldn't artificially focusing on any particular group or groups eventually lead to a stereotype if you aren't reporting on the others equally?
I wonder what's the root cause for this truly prevalent behaviour. I find it off putting when a person is feeling uneasy and tried to evade the topic. These are serious matters

> in LA the higher the price, the more desirable people think your product is

Many luxury items are 'Veblen goods' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good) - the high price is a feature, it keeps the riffraff from having the same things you have, which makes your things better status symbols.
I think that might be the point of GP, that when people hear "conspiracy theory" they think "false", but it really means a theory about a conspiracy. This theory about a conspiracy has a lot of evidence supporting is.
I see this comment often and it strikes me as conspiracy nonsense.

For example, AMD was founded within a year of Intel - years before either manufactured a CPU. You're blurring lines with antitrust lawsuits in the 90s.

Now if you want to talk about the Federal government single handedly propping up the market for semiconductors until the end of the Apollo program, that's a different story and includes more players than DARPA.

Do other regular black people appreciate when newspapers do this? Anyone with half a brain knows what it means when the newspaper declines to describe a suspect. It seems like it will both not have the intended effect of "not perpetuating stereotypes" and signal to everyone else that black people need special treatment. It seems entirely worse in every respect.

It doesn't help that CRT proponents do not provide a complete, rigid definition of CRT, and might provide a very nice sounding initial explanation like it "explores the history of systemic racism in the US and how it still has tangible effects today." If that's one's understanding of CRT, then it feels very reasonable to be against the people trying to suppress teaching it. Who wouldn't want to dive into the history of racist policies and how it still creates problems today? But in order to explore these problems, CRT relies on assumptions, groups our modern-day conceptions of races as homogeneous groups of people with their own class struggles, and in general is not a historically honest or objective way of looking at the world.

I'm 99.9999% confident...

That's a lot of nines.

It means if you were doing 5 of these tasks a day, for 250 working days a year, you'd expect only a 50% chance of finding a task too curly to do easily in the first 550 years of your working life.

I feel like there's very few people, in any field, who've earned that level of confidence.
Actions like this and the Tuskegee experiments by governments are so horrifying. While I wouldn't consider myself a conspiracy theorist, it behooves all of us to have a healthy skepticism of government actions. I've gotten both of my covid shots but it's stories like this that make me more empathetic to vaccine doubters.
> when it comes to doing anything that actually matters an overwhelming majority of them (on both sides) will vote against it

Do you have any evidence that both sides are equally guilty? This is the sort of thing that "everyone knows is true", but they "know" it because it allows them to express resignation and cynicism and get general agreement without offending anyone. It's like talking about the weather. But unlike talking about the weather it has the pernicious effect of dampening democratic action and rewarding the guilty. If a referee refuses to apply the rules of the game, throwing up his hands instead and saying "they all just foul each other all the time", how long do you think the game will have any rules? In a democracy the voters are the ultimate referees.

In this particular case, in the US, one side very much wants to fix the flaws in their democracy. Why? Well, in part because it's the right thing to do and in part because they are the ones disadvantaged by the flaws in the current system. If given the chance to vote the Democrats will pass a bill of sweeping electoral reforms with the net effect of equalizing voting power and thus giving themselves a better chance of winning elections. But Republicans will filibuster this legislation, so it won't happen. If by some miracle the filibuster is abandoned, not one will vote for it. On this issue the two sides are diametrically opposed, not equally guilty, whatever you think of the merits of their positions.
For me Obsidian is better but Joplin tramples it because it is open source

Pros:
- Open source
- Rich markdown with math notation, code highlighting and more
- Sincronizable
- Actively maintained

Cons:
- Not so polished, especially in mobile
- Less support for linking short notes than, say, Obsidian
- Difficult to contribute to codebase
I sympathize, but if your students stop focusing on that, how do you propose they pay rent after graduation? Working retail? Bartending? Commuting ten hours a week to adjunct at three local community colleges? None of those options exactly leave a lot of time or energy for fundamental research

Discoverability matters. Not everyone googling your name is looking for arrest records. Most would just be looking for a little info on who you are. A news story popping on the first page is a much more immediate barrier than a deliberate background search.

After being diagnosed 3 years ago, the improvements are that I now have a tool to help me get things done, I can set expectations more sensibly with others that respect me, and I at least have a framework for setting my expectations of myself. It hasn't helped me keep a job yet, in part because my last employer didn't accept that I couldn't be expected to respond to customers in a timely manner or that I really couldn't tolerate the open office eating sounds. It hasn't yet helped me recover from burnout which I have a tendency to succumb to, and I'm now more than a year out of work for the 2nd or 3rd time this decade. It doesn't help me respond to stress in the way that society is kind of set up to take advantage of. No amount of external pressure will influence me to do anything differently than I'd do otherwise, unless I'm able to internalize a need to do it. As soon I feel like an external pressure is arbitrary, the structure around it collapses. It hasn't helped my horrendously offset sleep cycle, memory (which might be negatively impacted also by concussions or whatever else). It does help me understand how I get into conversations with random people on the street that can last for hours, and my partner isn't all that surprised anymore.

Definitely agree there are still cases where "what" is useful. Especially in some code that I come across that I just can't grok (e.g. badly named things), I start writing what it does just as a rubber duck method, and I don't have capacity to refactor the whole thing right then, at least I will leave behind a "what" comment because if I had trouble grokking what it does then someone else likely will too.
It's not unanimous approval, it's unanimous consent.

If you do not vocalize objection, you are counted as consenting.

And you can certainly give consent to something you would not approve. It's semantics, yes, but the definitions seem to align also.

I recently found a silicon bug in a microcontroller. I had spent 18 hours trying every other possibility before, by chance, the test code made it very obvious that the chip was broken.

I've only been doing this Electronics Engineering thing for a year and I've found 3 serious silicon or documentation bugs. I'll have to recalibrate my hueristic about the prevalence of silicon bugs.

Which is annoying, because so much of experience is learning hueristics to limit the search space for bugs. Now I have one more thing to worry about.

Reminds me of a meme about the current state of real estate prices. Which is that because banks became stricter about lending, it's not a bubble this time. The reason it can still be a bubble is that 1) ZIRP and 2) while governments somewhat achieved their mandate of low unemployment, employment stability (not having to constantly job hop to survive) is through the floor. That's why this is a structural megabubble IMO and isn't tracked very well with the proxy of 'how much debt is on individual balance sheets'.

I worry that all these debates don’t take into account all the major problems facing our society.

I believe strongly in work life balance. But have also found that truly difficult problems to be solved often tip that balance.

I feel a “let me focus on other things“ attitude at a mass population level is at odds with things like retooling the economy around green energy, rebuilding infrastructure, making fundamental changes to healthcare, education, countering hungry, authoritarian regimes, etc.

We need a balance of people doing enough hard work solving hard problems so others can work 25 hour weeks. Who is going to do that?

"Is there a popular religion that is not completely centered around humans?"

I don't understand what you mean by "completely centered around humans".

Judaism is centered around worship of God, who is not human... but like every other human religion the worshipers themselves are human, so I guess in the sense that it has human worshipers it is "centered around humans".. is that what you mean?

I believe technology has a key part to play in a more fair, yet still highly efficient, marketplace.

The government should think about supporting or even mandating technical frameworks or protocols for information exchange and commerce. For example, much (although by no means all) of what Amazon does with it's product sales that provides a lot of the value is provide an information service that collects and queries a wide range of product data.

Cryptocurrencies are the starting point for this. Along with other types of decentralized systems which provide, despite the name, the best ways we have to operate large scale systems holistically (as well as democratically).

But to take a step back, rather than mandating protocols that could easily become dated and detrimental, prescribe or at least very strongly encourage systems for sharing, subscribing to and consuming those protocols. Maybe things like package registries, or perhaps package registries for smart contract programming libraries.

But overall, I do not think that we can have effective government that is not integrated into society in a high tech way. And despite the track record of governments being horrible, I doubt we can function without them.
