My 2c (not a Dr.):

* ADHD diagnosis could be useful for self-knowledge and for maybe acquiring medication;

* not sure what the neurological tests give you above and beyond a psychiatrist's expert judgement. Seems like they've got incentives to run expensive tests/use expensive machinery that don't necessarily align with the patient's.

I benefited from Concerta at a job but the self-knowledge gained from looking hard at my own abilities and disabilities was much more valuable. You might find the same.

One minor point:

>[...] difficult to draw useful conclusions about the correlation between the short-term rental industry and crime. Academic researchers say [...] limitations have frustrated their efforts to study the link. Only about a half-dozen scholarly studies have been carried out on the subject, and their findings are contradictory.

Contradictory findings are a positive and useful result: They're evidence that there isn't in fact a link, that the two are uncorrelated. This is some tragic ignorance of statistics on the part of the journalist...
I was supporting your point in a roundabout way.
There is thriving business by various rescue groups that are importing dogs. They can charge as much under the guise of travel costs and vetting. There is no reason to import STRAY dogs from other countries while there are millions of dogs in local shelters unadopted/rescues and are being euthanized daily.
That’s why I qualified with a comment on an LTS version of Windows.

Keep something around for the next decade (or two) that keeps old hardware running. Allow virtualisation for everyone else.

It does seem that Apple’s approach of aggressively throwing out support for features while designing their own silicon with none of the legacy support that Intel keep around for x86 has paid off. Rosetta 2 ‘just works’.

For enterprise, some version of Windows will probably always be needed. WSL has shown that MS can respond to the developer community and shows that they can do it well. For home users and gamers a fast and lean OS will help shift hardware. The former who will be tempted by Macs and the latter who don’t want bloat will want as little OS overhead as possible.

Minor correction: AdSense would be the product affected by this. AdWords (now Google Ads) is the ads shown on Google's search result pages, and are contextual (depending on the search). AdSense, AdMob and Google Ad Manager makes up Google's ad network, which accounts for a much smaller part of revenue (about 12%, where AdWords accounts for ~57% and YouTube ads ~10%).

I tried dabbling with Cue, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem that I care about, which is that I have a whole bunch of configs that vary only slightly and I want to DRY them up.

For example, for any given application we have several fixed environments--dev, staging, prod--as well as "on demand" environments for things like pull requests or individual developer environments. The configs for these environments are almost the same, but they vary based on a handful of parameters. I want to be able to write a "generic environment" module for each application and then parameterize it accordingly for each environment.

Cue doesn't seem to care much about this problem, but rather it's just trying to make sure your data is type checked. It seems more like an advanced JSONSchema rather than a typed Starlark. I think the latter would be more powerful (albeit Cue's type system is more powerful than an ordinary generic type system with things like range types).

Cue almost has an answer to the DRY problem, but you can't quite emulate functions as far as I can tell (due, I think, to shadowing problems). I wonder what people who are convinced that Cue is the future would say to this? Am I just thinking about the problem wrong?

I see the same at my workplace. Hell, I think I'm slowly becoming one of those underpaid and underperforming people myself. The reason for this is that if there is no chance of a meaningful improvement in your salary or other benefits, why would you even try? Good old "they pretend to pay me and I pretend to work".

If there is no proper incentive system in place to encourage good performance, those who value money or career development just leave after a while and those who just want an easy life stay and underperform.

It's not just about news and journalism.

When I was in my late teens and eagerly devouring the Whole Earth Catalog and its successor Coevolution Quarterly for their reviews and pointers to new tools and ideas, it was easy to trust what I saw written there. Until one issue when they had a long survey of backpacking equipment, which even at 17 was something I knew quite a lot about. It was ridiculous, so bad (*)

Most people who write for a living don't know as much about the things they write about as people who do those things as the central part of their lives.

But it's worse than that: even when the author is a bona fide expert in the subject, there's still plenty of room for disagreement within the field.

The dream of reading "authoritative" accounts of more or less anything is a dream. Instead of being mad that journalists and other writers don't live up to your dream, accept this situation as it is, and understand that deepening your understanding of anything will require significant effort on your part. That doesn't mean that there are not better and worse sources of information, and understanding how to identify this is important. But there's nobody who is going to write "the true story" because there is no true story, just a complicated mess that you can put more or less effort into understanding.

(*) granted, some of what made it so bad was the clash between my UK-based understanding of gear and conditions, and their western US equivalent.

My wife was diagnosed with ADD (ADHD-I) at 20 (no points for H at all, literally none).

When all stimuli hit you at the same level it's really tiring. Someone clicking their pen, bird chirping outside, someone coughing in the hallway or the classroom next to you, someone picking his nose in the corner of your eyes etc. She isn't able to filter them at all.

I've come home to the place being flooded because she ran a bath but remembered she needed to do something in the kitchen, and that prompted something else, etc. We've fought because of little things, but those little things combined with having to process every single stimuli the world throws at you is difficult. If you're focusing on work, or just sitting around do you even register the things going on outside? She does. At the same 'volume' as the thing she's trying to focus on.

In high school she missed more classes than she went to. She was deemed lazy, dumb, and uncaring. We have three levels in the Netherlands and she barely completed the lowest one. Mainly because she was home sleeping, or just wandering off with her mind, migraines - you name it.

When she had to write school reports for a specific class the teacher would be baffled by the report. It went from the actual subject to a few pages of an English report, then a chapter of economics. I always imagined it as her having to go to the bathroom, coming back and remembering 'Shit I needed to write that book report for English class'. Because, obviously, this was only started just before or even after the deadline.

You'd think the schoolsystem would raise an alarm right? Nah, she wasn't exactly 'trouble' as in being busy / shouting / name any typical bad behaviour. She was just chaotic and 'dumb'. Real easy conclusion, especially when you have kids getting in fights and smoking joints - at least she was trying to do her homework.

So she missed a lot of opportunities, felt really bad about herself to put it lightly, and the migraines are a bitch too. I don't know if that's how bad it can be when undiagnosed but yeah. When the psychiatrist did the sessions / tried medications they also took an IQ test which indicated that when the world is not throwing stimuli at her (well it still is, but with the help of the meds she can filter it) she's actually really fucking intelligent (remember the lowest level she barely passed, could've easily done the highest level and moved on to university). After years of hard work catching up she did complete a BA and I couldn't be prouder. It's not easy believing in yourself after so many years of people saying you're dumb and lazy.
What is even a perfect play? Do you think all people on Earth would agree with your notion of a perfect play? If not, which opinions are you willing to sacrifice and why?
Actually, yes.

I take a medication that's routinely advertised. When they advertised an updated formula for it, I did ask my doctor if we should consider it. Turns out, it's not covered by the insurance, so, not today. But if it were, we'd certainly be considering it. Doctors are pretty notorious for the "if it's not broke, don't fix it", and leaving things as they lay, rather than bombarding patients with "the latest options". So, it can help patients interested in the condition to talk about these sorts of things.

Also, when my doctor proposed the medication, it helped I already had some indirect familiarity with it.

I sympathize with the caricature of medical advertising, and even advertising in general. We all "hate" advertising, but we all rely on it. Everyone pauses at an ad that catches their eye in some way.
Thank you, saagarjha, for pointing this out. There is a huge difference in having your argument criticized (possibly even dissected and dismembered, if necessary!) and what has been said here.

As someone being responded to, I'm frankly rather disturbed. It'd be pure weasel-words to say "Oh, I was talking in general and didn't mean this about anyone specifically". Consider the word structure alone:

You and people like you

shrill voices, tight small box, radical conservatism ... pissed off vocal folk, can't stand / gotten better, hate, hate, angry mob, really*7 hate, no reason, no kindness, angry, limited horizon, limited vision, deep rooted desire to choke

Me and the web

gotten better & better, richer, powerful, exciting, creative, empowered, easy, rich, incredibly*2 sad, grow and thrive

My real concern is that rektide isn't sitting in a chair deliberately attacking people, but trying to make a passionate plea in favor of something they love.

I used Peapod a ways back and dropped it as soon as I got off crutches for pretty much the reasons you give. I suspect that home delivery for a lot of people is a combination of 1.) food is fuel so they don't really care about the details; 2.) Grocery shopping is a pain because of mobility issues, young children, etc. and 3.) They resent spending the time shopping because #1.
at this point it seems reasonable to conclude you are trolling this discussion.
According to the survey, 56 percent say they dine at a restaurant, get take out or have a meal delivered 2 to 3 times a week.

Fully 10 percent said they eat out 4 to 6 times a week, and 6 percent said they eat out everyday.

Yes, I acknowledge that food and nutrition insecurity exists and that it is a problem. However, my comment questions whether it plays as significant a role in child education as parental mentorship. I live next door to a very poor family that has a single mom and obesity. I interact with the boy almost daily. He is nutrition insecure, and I try to give him fruits and vegetables whenever he comes over.

However, my general impression is that the primary reason he is truant, has reading level of a 3rd grader (he is in 7th grade), doesn't do homework or make an effort in school, etc. isn't so much that he consumes a lot of empty calories. The primary reason IMO is that his single mom is 100% checked out of his education. And actually, more than just his education - practically his entire life. She has no idea who his teachers are, what his grades are, or even what his attendance is. He practically raises himself because his single mom is too burned out after working her jobs and other responsibilities. So... as a result, he drinks a lot of soda, eats a lot of fast food, plays a lot of video games, watches a lot of anime, doesn't go to school, doesn't read, sleeps on a very irregular schedule, etc.

You could transform your 2.x code so that it would run on both 3.x python and also on recent 2.x python versions, using new features with appropriate `from __future__ import` statements; so in that regard the latest 2.x versions were those intermediate releases that could also run 'new style' code. I had a bunch of internal code that would run on both 2.x and 3.x python, and many libraries also did just that.

My parents valued education, their parents less so. So my parents education/training started much later in life, and even then the opportunities were not easily accessible. Both came from subsistence farming/ small holding families, with a large number of siblings, so just inheriting the land was not an outcome they could rely upon.

By becoming trained in their fields it meant they had a better opportunity to earn, but that was limited by the lateness to which they started their careers. When my siblings and I arrived we could be encouraged into education from the earliest possible opportunity.

Case on aerodynamics is weak. I realize their analysis might make sense for extreme endurance events, but they don't generalize to road cycling. They did not test at common race speeds for cyclists. It's 5 watt at 30km/h. That might mean 14 or so watts at 50km/h. It doesn't seem like much but that's significant enough in a road race. And then there are sprints that take place at 60-70km/h

> No voice,

A survey of IRC users would likely indicate that none of them care about it, and it's part of the appeal of IRC - I can only judge people by how they type and what they communicate. It's more or less impossible to tell anything about age, gender, nationality, etc on IRC unless someone cares to disclose it. It's far harder to mask anything like that in voice as opposed to text, so while you may consider it a fatal flaw, I consider it a feature. It's one of the better borderless sort of protocols out there for communication.

> no proper file transfer

What's wrong with DCC? Still works, last time I've used it. However, with a lot of the various free pastebin/image/etc hosting services out there, I don't see nearly as much of a need for that as I once did. DCC is a rare thing now, as opposed to a common way of shuffling files around as it used to be. So, again, based on "I literally make a living on IRC" sort of experience with it, it's not just a big deal anymore. Plus, an awful lot of people on IRC overlap with "I have my own hosting somewhere."

> and can't even see messages when you're offline

Bouncers exist, work well, and consume very little CPU or RAM. You can fit a freebie ZNC bouncer in the Google Compute Engine free tier (micro instance, 1GB transfer outbound), and might pay a few pennies a month extra if it's a really busy month. However, most channels are also entirely useful if you're only connected part of the time. I mostly use a bouncer to catch any PMs - I don't read scrollback unless I've been mentioned, and it works fine.

> meaning there's no reliable way of mobile notification means it's just getting too old.

Again, this only matters if you care about that. I know a lot of people, myself included, who have more or less rejected the modern "everything mobile" ecosystem with the constant stream of distracting notifications, and that IRC doesn't overlap with my phone is a feature.

However, there are plenty of ways to make mobile clients and ZNC interact such that you effectively have a modern style communication app, on a phone, with IRC as the backend - if you care to do so.

Yes, I'm aware I'm an older style greybeard at this point, but the very things you list as "ancient tech" are part of what makes it appealing. It's lasted for 30+ years so far, and I expect it will comfortably outlast most of the modern messaging clients, because it does what it does exceedingly well.
Yes, he can, because of the way contract law works.

In order for a contract to be valid, and enforceable on both sides, there has to be an offer, acceptance, and consideration. No consideration (payment), no contract, and the open source license reverts to what is known in law as a bare license. Bare licenses can be revoked at any time, at will, by the licensor, regardless of any promises made by the licensor to respect the license in perpetuity. (You can always tell a squatter to leave your property, regardless of how permissive you've been in the past.) This includes revoking the license to software downloaded under an open source license for which the licensee has given no consideration.

What is finished ?

I've made a rust implementation of handlebars rendering that passed all handlebars test cases (on the feature set I covered, namely everything that did not involved JS parsing and evaluation), put it in a lib, ran performance checks against other implementation (not stellar, but good enough) documented the design and common API use cases.

Yet, it was not finished in the sense that it relied on third party compiler plugin with dependencies on APIs removed on rust 1.0 release.

That experimental part was 100% what I wanted to play with, I didn't care much of the risk of being stuck in the end.

So, my goals where met, I moved on, and finished depends only on the way you look at it.

I suspect large part of stuff that get started goes stale for more or less the same circumstances: it is finished because the goal was toying from the start, even though the author might have been delusional on publishing a re-usable outcome.
