I have ADHD and mostly agree with GP's proposal.

ADHD medications don't really restore anyone to 'normal'. They're a compensatory measure ('performance enhancer') which is reserved only for some people mainly for bad reasons (the war on drugs, lack of public and accessible infrastructure for addiction treatment). They can be used to help people with certain deficits meet certain demands (typically productivity in work or school), but it's not like they counteract ADHD. They help with some aspects of the disorder (difficulty sustaining attention) and make other aspects of the disorder (difficulty being deliberate and judicious about when to switch tasks) worse.

Gating them heavily behind many appointments and preventing pharmacies from providing any refills makes stimulant medications harder to access for people who have ADHD, especially during bad times when it's relatively poorly managed, which forms a vicious cycle. (ADHDers sometimes refer to the total fees associated with missed and late appointments and other such mishaps as 'the ADHD tax', and it's not unusual for that sum to exceed what an ADHD patient actually pays in copays, especially when they're first trying to get things under control.)

Expanding public access both to stimulant medication and to addiction treatment could, imo, help more people live better lives (including both ADHD patients and people who don't have ADHD) and allow treatment of ADHD to focus more on people who actually have ADHD , and on all of the management aspects of living with ADHD (which are much harder and collectively at least as important as medication).

(At the same time, under the policies the GP described, I would continue to consult with a psychiatrist, because adjusting psychoactive medications without professional assistance is a stupid thing to do.)
No I didnt say this was fake

Just that it isnt new.
Thank you for being transparent about this and dealing with it appropriately, even on Christmas. I think that goes a long way.
According to my friend with Celiac, it's a bit of both. She definitely has to do more research on any new restaurant because there are a number of places out there that do not take Gluten free seriously anymore and in particular will not be careful about cross contamination even if the issue is emphasized. But on the other hand there are also many restaurants now that do have a variety of legitimate Gluten free options. So it's probably a double edged sword.

Other replies mention Scotland and the SNP, and lest we forget, Scotland is more pro-EU than England, and the last Scottish independence referendum was won on a promise of "stay in the UK and stay in the EU" - yes, really, the threat that an independent Scotland would not be an EU member on day one. (1)

But it's not just about Scotland. Do not forget the question of Northern Ireland, which is now increasingly aligned with the Republic of Ireland. When UK and ROI were both in the EU it was less of a hard choice, but that has changed.

Brexit, while also honouring the integrity of the UK and also the Good Friday agreement is basically about squaring the circle - something has to give. Right now NI is aligned with the Republic of Ireland, not with England, and the Brexiters are not happy about it because NI gets a better Brexit deal by having less Brexit, which doesn't make them look good. But they need to face up to the fact that due to brexit, there has to be a border somewhere between Dublin and London and every position has serious drawbacks. (2)

if NI gets to like the current dispensation well then they might feel like re-joining the republic.

Two fault-lines, not one. It means that the UK needs not one but two wins on throws of the dice in order to remain intact. And a break at one fault-line would trigger restlessness at the other. So the odds of the UK remaining intact go down.

> That simply is not what AlphaFold (or any homology modeling) is doing

I don't know if we're getting hung up in semantic differences, but how would you describe homology modelling, or what AlphaFold is doing? Because for me, it takes as input an AA sequence and gives as output a 3D structure prediction.
Yeah, bundled is a more correct word, that's what I meant.
AFAIK, Teams doesn't need an account, but I have used it only in a business context, so I'm not sure.
Really appreciate the prompt and transparent response, Jeff. Especially at a time when I assume you were not expecting to jump in on duty.

I hope that despite all the harsh words, you can have sympathy with that behind them are legitimate concerns and suspicion stemming from past bad behavior from various part of your organization. Due to this, and Microsoft's position of power, you have a much, much lower budget for these kinds of mistakes compared to the most other orgs.

Even if there was nothing intentionally malicious at play here, it would not be far-fetched for an outsider to interpret as "implicit maliciousness through neglect".

Here's hoping that 2022 will be a year of bridging the divide and sincere alignment.
Screen Connect/ConnectWise Control also has a free tier that lets you have a few nodes joined.
You might find benefit to writing down your thoughts about each one of the previous occupations and see if there are any recognizable patterns that you can identify and address.
This is why its important for us to consider a broad variety of perspectives on a problem and to change our own perspectives. It's a complicated problem and its easy to get stuck on something that seems "almost kinda right enough that it sorta works"
Not sure why the downvotes. This so much.
I assumed it was a thinly-veiled reference to Global Warming.
Laying the tracks while the train travels down them. Absolutely agree with this. Some of us are better at connecting the dots than others. More literal/concrete people get stuck in the published or established wisdom and have a tough time thinking “outside the box”
This year I had vacation for Christmas and New Years... but then I got covid on a plane to SF. I stayed 10 days in quarantine in a hotelroom (with only two days of mild symptoms). Today I finished quarantine and tomorrow ill be flying back to europe... thank you everyone who worked through Christmas and thank you for your service sandworm101
hey man, I'm in my 30s as well and definitely feel like I'm restarting life after a LTR ended in the spring.

I like to remind myself of the encouraging phrase "We overestimate what we can can accomplish in a year, and under estimate what we can accomplish in five". Compounding gains is the game and humans always seem to underestimate their power
So glad to see this posted as I am visiting Portugal for xmas and saw this crazy thing in the grocery store yesterday. It looked like it was covered in grated Taco Bell cheese. Now I am wishing I would have bought one. Got the rabanadas and sonhos though leading to happy xmas kids.
I love to write code, I love to ship products and I love to build businesses.

But what I really love, what drives me, is solving interesting problems. That's my entire career. Solve interesting problems.

"We're building a web2.0 exercise tracking..." No!
"We're putting health records on the block..." Nein!
"We're improving how people buy insuran..." Non!
"We're creating a mobile app to submit expens..." Nee!
"We're building a SaaS to improve cable modem analy..." Nie!

"We're using computer vision to identify fossilized cat shit." Oh hell yes!

I've built websites and CRUD apps and mobile apps, out of necessity, but they are universally boring endeavours with little to give them any merit beyond a tiny sliver of an interesting problem. Most of the work that is out there is just grunt work that should be farmed out and then extensively code reviewed.

At meetups people ask me, "what do you do?"

And I respond, "Whatever the !@#$ I want to, it makes money, and everyone goes home happy."

I haven't worked a day in my life. I play, every day. And any time I've come close to discovering "it's just another job" I go and find something else to do.

My response on LinkedIn or AngelList when approached by business people and recruiters with their dreadful job opening is usually along the lines of "Thanks for making me aware of this opportunity. Sounds boring. Good luck in your continuing candidate search."
I think a reasonable bar is when a person passes out of living memory. Once it’s reasonably likely the last person who knew them is also dead, there’s no material harm that can be done by revealing their correspondence and the benefit to historians would outweigh any potential hurts to living people’s memory of someone.
Wayland looks like the impaired child of X. They promise some security and they are reinventing the wheel.
I built a fairly simple browser extension that users love to use. Heck, people even paid for it (it's freemium but an open-source project). Now and then, I get an appreciation email from a user, a notification from the chrome web store that someone rated it 5-star, or a new purchase notification from Stripe.
Random doses of serotonin make my day. In a nutshell, I love working on it because people find it helpful and value it.

Learn anything? Certainly you can realize the true scale of Angkor Wat.
Thank you for the kind words, a lot resonated with me.
Look into growing them from uncle Ben’s rice. Doesn’t get easier. Spores can be legally bought online in most states and no special equipment is necessary.

Just plan on doing a triple batch as without proper lab equipment, the chance of contamination is higher.
Dumbest "feature" ever - what were they thinking.
I grew up in NYC and don’t regard cities, like Atlanta, covered in highways, to be cities. I never understood why places like this were built or how people enjoy living there, but clearly some do.

>Convenience stores are as vital as anything!

How come it is illegal to keep them open during public holidays in much of Europe then? I find hospitals a tad more important.
If I was impatient to learn JS I would gasp at the number of chapters (45)!
This is a solid, great-looking website! 10k is an impressive number. How old is this website?
A resource I commonly turn to when I’m feeling impatient is Learn X in Y Minutes: https://learnxinyminutes.com/
Microsoft is a rather special case of a company that has virtually no goodwill in the open source world. These are the dividends that result from statements and actions over decades. So when something like this occurs, the default reaction is often 'of course... it is Microsoft after all'.
If they don't know the answer to the question I actually asked, all they have to do is not answer it. I object to the notion that I'm the one playing games here.
MS and other bigcos have a history of being evil. It’s the correct assumption.
The problem, as far as I can make it, is that the thing(s) you love will probably not look like a corporate job.

It's my strong feeling that people don't actually love jobs, they love kinds of work, but only as long as they have agency. Once the work becomes a job it tends to get subordinated to profit motives, instead of your own creative drives.

My best bet is that if you want to do something you love you have to somehow end up working for yourself.
So why isn't it called web1 or web0? I do think dApps are closer to Email, a web0 protocol (and the only truly decentralized user-facing protocol left)
Yup, but the rules are very clear as to when you wear each. 95% of the time I wear the combat camo stuff, which is great because you don't need to even iron it. Since covid has stopped most gathering/parades I haven't put on the more formal uniform in over a year.
> This sort of bullshit (sponsored videos) should not be promoted on HN.

Promoted or not, this is generally a community for having level-headed discussions about things.

The original commenter says "China is X way".

Someone responds and says "China is Y way."

Everyone ought to be able to upvote/downvote, and argue + discuss to their hearts content.

I have no horse in this race, but I would have expected the person to just get downvoted into oblivion or responded to with posts like yours, containing responding counter-arguments/links, if the majority of people disagree with or hold contrary evidence to.

My reaction was less to do it about it being anything specifically related to China, and more about the principle/premise of the matter.

It could equally have been "Person 1 says eggs are bad for you, Person 2 says eggs are good for you." and I would have had the same reaction.
Time will tell. I think at some point that referendum ('illegal' or not) will be held, and then what happens with respect to the outcome is going to be an interesting lesson in power politics.

Precisely, hence my question, I know for most countries which funds are the recipients of the EIF funds.
> Strong arming of Hungary and Poland, ...

They are not being strong armed, they are being treated with way to lot consideration, given that they are ignoring the treaties they signed.

Especially Orban in Hungary is basically a robber Baron, and if the EU doesn't move against his BS strongly, they will lose support in the other countries.
I work as a manager of a Developer Relations team, but I'm also a software engineer and writer. I've identified two things I "love" to do in my life: writing software (usually automation-type things that make my life or someone else's life easier), and writing (articles, books, etc.).

I discovered that I love writing software when I was a kid (maybe 12 years old?) by writing automation bots for video games: it was so incredibly fun to write a bot that would play the game, level up your characters, and do things that would otherwise take thousands of hours of human grinding to achieve. This passion never left me, and now, more than 20 years later, I still spend a good chunk of time building little scripts/tools/utilities/apps that help me in various ways.

The writing was something that I also got started on early. I discovered my love of writing through IRC where I'd routinely answer people's programming questions and eventually write blog posts explaining answers in more depth than I could fit into a short IRC conversation.

I don't blog as much today (life gets busy), but I do spend a lot of time writing at work, working on the occasional long-form blog post, and ... journaling.
I see how that gets them a C-grade Mastodon lyric, but not how it gets them a nickel. Did I ask this question in a particularly weird way? The responses it's getting are a little confusing.
They’re doing a military job that involves “rooms without windows” and potentially emergency situations.
In terms of money, again money was predominantly on the remainer side. But then any money going to support leave would be the dumb money right?
It’s simply writing about Chinese attitudes and experiences when abroad, and therefore using phrasing from the point of view of the person in question.
Even the color spectrum depicted in the article misses magenta, due to it being a color made of two frequencies, not just one.
I'll second this advice: I can't walk alone when I'm depressed. The quieting effect of being alone just causes my mind to go crazy with all of my problems.

An audio book at that time, however, is a great solution. Audio books, for me, can't occupy my entire mind. I can't sit and listen to an audio book. At the same time, they occupy enough of my mind that I can't do other mentally intense things and pay attention to the book at the same time. I had used them for driving, yard work, and other boring tasks to quiet the noise in my head and the feeling of boredom[0] that the task occupies.

When walking with a good audio book, I can observe the world without the noise of my circumstances and it really is a peaceful exercise.

[0] For me, boredom drives depression.
Those last two paragraphs feel like the trick to me. Either work on something you're invested in, and if you can't, pick something outside of work.

I personally like D&D. Spending time with good friends wroting stories together is one of my favorite ways to spend time, and the excitement for it has gotten me through more than one hard week.
Yeah.
Strange that it's a monolithic pdf instead of a site like their main competition pinouts.ru.

Magenta, black, white and brown are all completely explainable with the light spectrum, photoreceptors and psychocultural constructs.

Nobody ever claimed that every possible colour perception needed to correspond to a single wavelength. Rather, every possible colour can be constructed from a combination of wavelengths.
Consider a + b + c.

When you read the code, you know what the types of a, b and c are. You know whether they're built-in types, and therefore whether those operator expressions are actually function calls.

Nothing is hidden, so long as the programmer doesn't make invalid assumptions based on his experience with other, different languages.
_Just_ as vital? If you had to choose between closing a hospital or a McDonald's, you would choose at random?

I hear what you are saying. Gas stations are vital transitively from the vital jobs that require gas, such as ambulance services. But I could still rank them as less vital than the services themselves, enabling me to at least close some gas stations. Fast food would be far down the list because it is predictable and trivial to plan around.
> I'm personally opposed to the idea of visiting certain countries, such as China and North Korea, to 'see for yourself', especially when you don't know the language, when you're not willing to risk your life to understand and uncover the parts the government doesn't want you to see

I'm personally opposed to the idea of visiting certain countries, such as USA since they searched phones at the border and you could be treated like a criminal based on who knows what.
It's not GC. It's nowhere near using the max memory available to the JVM.
I love Kadinsky's Composition no 8. I think his works would make great tattoos.
You can make a living as a writer but you need to crank out 4-5 novels a year, which is more than I can do!
That's still pretty big. For me, the ideal size is that of the iPhone 4S or the BlackBerry Q10.
I always considered it to be a very good decission in the design of PHP language.
> Web3: The blockchain knows the URL to your avatar. You decide what it is and nobody can (practically) stop you.

A blockchain knows some URL recorded in the transaction. You have to hope whatever service you want to use cares about that blockchain and the URL actually points to a usable and accessible resource. You can't store the avatar itself without it being stupid expensive so all you've got space for is a URL.

The same exact thing could be done with a regular URL. You point $random_service to your avatar URL or even a vCard and it can access your data. No rainforests need to be burnt down or polar bears need to be drowned.
Yeah, I think this is an example of addressing a mistake that other companies should take note of. I don’t trust Microsoft-sized corporations as a matter of principle, and I don’t typically give them the benefit of the doubt, but when one of their own engineers explains in human-readable terms what specifically happened—on a holiday, no less—I’m impressed enough to believe him. Some PR flack showing up with vague boilerplate about how Microsoft values the open-source community and they’ll look into it would only have encouraged more outrage.

I always appreciate communication that acknowledges I’m a person, not a data point or a customer. I wish more companies ditched the greasy PR approach and allowed folks like Jeff to do their talking for them.
Almost 6.5 billion people in the world excluding china, and I don't think a single one should care.
All the cities you mention are tier one Potemkin cities.

Try go to the country side to see the real China.

For the racism part, I wouldn't say that signs with "no foreigners" in shops are common, but I have seen them a couple of times during my 5 year stay in China.
China does this, then gets their panties in a bunch when the US bans goods made with slave labor.
From my understanding, Newton eventually decided he'd figured out everything there was to figure out (which was kind of true), then he got bored, so he started to dabble in alchemy and bible things.
Who exactly is doing the satirizing here?
It is majority owned by an American company. It is foreign owned. What you're describing are domestic employees, not owners - at best, it’s Canadian operated.

Surely under this model you wouldn’t object to Postmedia being sold to Alibaba or Tencent? Would that transfer change your perceptions of the publication or what they said about Xinjiang, hypothetically, the Michaels or the PRC? If so, why would you not have the same reaction today in re: sensational articles about our government functioning effectively, our healthcare system, or about softwood lumber? How about what happened with the C-Series/A220?

Trudeau Sr was PM for almost 16 years, here’s one of the few people with direct experience, and I don't think it's a big extrapolation to say he knows a thing or two about foreign policy with respect to America.
Ah. Yeah, this would have made callbacks simpler in the case where there is only one method. I was thinking about JavaBeans EventObject/EventListener usage, which is so tedious, but enables introspection by tools.
> What is a “self-certifying protocol?” This is a general term I’m using to describe protocols that have cryptographic user identifiers and content-addressed data. “Cryptographic user identifiers” associate users with public keys.

That confuses a few cryptographic concepts: identity, trust, and key pairs. Web3 is not a security solution otherwise it would be long since widely adopted in the browser. Web3 is a potential/proposed distribution solution.

A hash is the most practical form of cryptographic identification. I prefer SHA3-512, but SHA-512 is more common and remains acceptable. The goal is to insure uniqueness which requires collision avoidance by hashing through a uniform process.

Trust is the fidelity that ensures an entity is who they claim to be, as in not spoofed. On the web certificates solve this problem. Usually trust comes from a central issuing entity like an employer or certificate authority. The key thing is that the authorizing party is centralized such that all end points agree upon it and can independently resolve to it.

Public key cryptography ensures an end point can encrypt a message using the remote end point’s public key so that only the remote end point can decrypt the message using their private key of the key pair. PKI encryption is far weaker than symmetric key encryption but it allows for distribution. Key pairs do not imply trust or integrity.
