I'll throw myself out there to say that after being forced to read punning in JS for the past 2+ years, I've never come around to it. Sure it's quicker (and I'll admit even nicer) to write, but even after seeing it daily for so long, I still find myself doing double-takes on what I'm looking at, and I need as little as possible of that while reading code.

I'm a little disappointed that Ruby introduced it but no one is forcing me to use it so to each their own (and I'm not writing Ruby or much JS professionally anymore so it doesn't affect me too much).
> I would say this is because the experience of someone with “high-functioning,” or whatever euphemism we prefer now, autism is utterly different than that of someone with nonverbal autism (which is often comorbid with profound mental retardation). So different that they may as well be different conditions.

I've definitely seen this as a challenge in describing two of my boys, who both have autism that additionally presents with being nearly non-verbal.

You say to someone that they have autism, and in their mind they're thinking 'oh, like Sheldon'. But it's as you say, it's not nearly the same. Sheldon is closer to NT than he is to my boys.

The MIT license puts essentially no restrictions on them that they would need to relicense out from under. They can't un-MIT it. So I'm still not clear on how you propose for them to make money by doing this. Do you have an answer to my question?
>The EU has a real challenge ahead in leaving a place for regional and national self-determination, and ironically an EU constitution might be the best path to limiting its power, just like the US constitution somewhat acts to protect the states from the federal government.

This would be really neat to see. As an American I very much want a strong EU to act as a check on the US and help push back against China's influence. A fractured europe will not be able to withstand the pull between the US and China
This works out to just shy of 8000 EUR per month, enough to fund two people on an acceptable salary for that time. Folks with a sufficiently high profile could earn more on the open market, but you can live of that in most regions of germany.
I've been to many hotels across the United States and Europe over a number of years in cities of all sizes and can honestly say have never even felt the remote possibility of being denied a room. Also Indian/Pakistani.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not trying to deny your own experience or making any accusations here. I'm just presenting the other side and clarifying that I don't feel it's a universal experience.
Scotland is a sovereign nation which is currently in a long term "marriage" with England through the Treaty of Union. It's not trying secede from the United Kingdom in as much as it's trying to get a divorce - not unlike Brexit. As a result while many people draw parallels with the situation in Catalonia it's not the same. The Spanish government has little to fear from the breakup of the United Kingdom and likely has much to gain. As member of the European Union Scotland has a lot of natural resources from fish to energy which would benefit other EU members.
I'll consider it an unusual bug report.

Don't wait till 2022 or even tomorrow. You need to train your mind to see good habits like exercising as something fundamental as breathing instead of a chore. Start today. It can be little as single push up or a 10 sec plank. Start tiny and work your way up. Churning out a quick 25 pushups will soon be easy and effortless in a couple of months time if you can only do 1 today.

I'm not a fan of self help books in general but Atomic Habits really changed my mindset for good.
> The only difference is that the United States is the only place where ADHD is a thing,

This is just simply untrue. It is true that how seriously it is taken and what is usually prescribed as treatment varies significantly, but it is understood to be a real thing across Europe, at least. I have multiple friends in multiple countries who have received a diagnosis.
Not the same person as the parent comment.

An LSD tripped helped with my social anxiety as a second order effect of helping me become more empathetic.

Through a dozen different thought loops + the psychedelic driven introspection of my first trip, I became much more sensitive and appreciative of my fellow humans. I was able to more properly emulate what someone might be thinking/feeling, and that has continued to bear fruit for me personally and professionally. Additionally, I became more tolerant of others and their differences in all dimensions. The idea of homosexuality in the past had left me queasy and suspicious. In the days after my first LSD experience, that difference no longer gave me any negative feelings.

Any more specific than that and we would be getting into neuro-chemistry. I am not well versed and you would have to do your own research. I do recall that LSD boosts some neurotransmitter/modulator sensitivity, and dis-inhibits the Default Mode Network - allowing for a wider range of introspective experiences which may explain my above experience. I like this articles [0] comparison to defragging a hard-drive. I often phrase psychedelics as a chemical way to observe your mind being stuck in some high dimensional local optima of state/opinion. Then you can choose to pull yourself out of those optima and reform your deeply held beliefs.

Another related term of interest might be ego-death/ego-loss.

"Don't reuse email addresses" should become as common advice as "don't reuse passwords."

Buy a domain and set up a catch-all email address, use a unique one for each service. Alternative options exist as well (Apple's "Hide My Email" for ex.)

Don't do the "add a plus sign at the end of your username to create unique addresses" thing. You still have a single point of failure and it causes weird bugs in poorly designed email addresses validation.

I think everyone is going to have different experiences. I saw a wide variety experiences
among people taking Ayahuasca, and my own experiences were each different.

LSD wasn’t uncomfortable for me, but I also knew at a deep level that it wasn’t something I needed to explore further. By contrast, there were many times that Ayahuasca had been at times uncomfortable and disturbing for me … but I also knew I needed it.
C has gotten a lot better through standardization and tooling, it really is vastly improved compared to the flawed experience that K&R describes.

I can't say the same about C++, which feels as if one has to set clear and definite limits, banning most of the language, before one can deploy it in a sane manner.

You miss two of the biggest points of formal diagnosis. Legal rights to accommodation (IEP, workplace) and getting insurance/healthcare money. If an autistic person can’t hold down a job or even live independently only really being diagnosed offically will get them the support they need. I’ve had to ask for accommodation to have noise cancelling headphones in a certain workspace where I was unable to really focus and having my demands backed by legislation and a diagnosis made it much easier to demand that.

On the point of medication though I largely agree, the current system is insanely paternalistic. Like having patients be forced to follow up with doctors about medications they’ve been on for 5 years. However society doesn’t truly want to deal with the true costs of freedom like somebody being able to easily legally acquire a lethal dose of anxiety meds.

The EU does indeed have all the issues with democratic legiticamcy that the leavers claimed, and this is the reason why the UK could easily re-enter at any point. There is no rational argument against it and the EU bureaucrats won't care about the hurt ego arguments that many people would bring up. The UK would lose all the beneficial deals they had tough.

As a EU citizen who likes the EU, I think the EU has a lot to fix and I hoped that Brexit would be a wakeup call for the elites to get started. But it doesn't look that way. The fact that von der Leyen is President of the EU commission is a clear indicator for what is currently wrong with the EU.
I don't know how anyone could see mild autism as a status symbol?

I have no idea what I am, but I know I'm not "normal" - at least as normal as most in America. I definitely think different and require a strong filter to function in normal society. Things like schedules and meetings overwhelm me mentally, or at least are the most tiresome stuff I do where to others they are trivial.

I also simply cannot push through "busy work" tasks even if I see immense payout in the end. I dropped out of high school without a plan simply because it was such a mental torture to sit through useless classes every day I could trivially test out of.

But, when I get an idea or project or goal in my head I am utterly relentless to a level I don't see in many others.

When I was younger I could kind of patch through this and find professional paths that worked alright with my quirks. Now that I'm older and have a family and "real" career with 7am alarm clocks/etc. I find life to be fairly unbearable from a mental aspect.

I'd really like to know what causes this in me. I've always been this way, to my extreme detriment, when I was younger I would cry myself to sleep just wanting to be "normal". Is it mild autism? ADHD? PTSD from childhood trauma? I dunno, but it's both relationship and career impacting and having to build your life around it sucks - knowing what your dealing with sounds amazing to me.

I just can't imagine wishing putting life on "hard mode" like this is on anyone, or anyone wanting to live it...

Yeah, there seems to be a bit of overlap between ADHD symptoms and being anywhere other than the extreme neurotypical end of the autism spectrum.

As an ADHD person, one thing that has helped me a lot is listening to ADDitude Mag podcasts[1]. Listening to people who are experts in the subject and are ADHD themselves has been quite validating. Like, yeah, we're not stupid, but the normies sure make us feel that way sometimes, huh! I recommend the ones with Ned Hallowell, especially.

So maybe you're not ADHD, or maybe you are but that's not your main problem. There are probably similar podcasts or forums or communities for people that are 'weird' or mildly disabled in other ways. I guess I'm trying to be helpful because I relate, and I know how alienating it can be, but the best I can come up with is to quote Timothy Leary and say "find the others." Easier said than done. You can talk at me if you want. :)

That’s one position. The other is one most other languages choose which is some kind of cross platform sockets support out of the box with packages filling in more niche cases for performance or usability reasons.

You could easily make the same counter argument against including <filesystem> and yet there’s very real value to having something cross platform out of the box that handles elegantly various pitfalls that people typically fall into.
Are you joking? Programming is all about intellectual property. A complete understanding of copyright laws is important for anyone in the tech industry.
Everything is a one off in this respect. I can’t see why the U.K. would not be allowed back in. It is just a matter of negociations. I also cannot see how it would re-achieve the sweet deal it used to have, however.

Overall, I would say that some form of participation in the EEA is more likely. Something that a government could sell to the Brexit voters with a reasonable amount of fudge.

Github changed everything. All sorts of automation and open source involvement happened, with new bots and systems.
The bot's job was to get MS-originated repos onto the correct standard license for MS open source code. That forked repos got their license changed is an unintentional bug, not something anyone "decided" to do.
There is a rampant practice where companies and organizations flippantly and often fraudulently stamp copyright notices on everything they touch—including public domain materials such as the U.S. Constitution, works of William Shakespeare, prints of the Mona Lisa, copies of the 9/11 Commission Report, and compositions of J.S. Bach. [0]

It seems Microsoft has now automated this practice.

Edit: It's easy to jump the gun and start accusing Microsoft of something nefarious here. To be clear, I'm personally giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt and assuming that this was an honest mistake, and that the folks at Microsoft who had something to do with setting this up were well-meaning.

My point is that we're living in a culture that, as a standard practice, sprinkles "(c) [year] [company]" on things like salt, that such claims are frequently invalid or misleading, and that this broader issue may be partly to blame for incidents like the one we are discussing today.
Amazing article and great persistence and research. Can’t wait to hear how it ends.

My only gripe is the writing style, which I’ve started seeing on major news sources that reads more like stream of consciousness or friend to friend rather than reporter to reader:

Take out the “Whews” and the “ahs”, etc., and it’s a really well written piece IMO.

Yes, but politicians aren't always rational and the Spanish have already voiced their concerns about this.

The funny thing (well, not really funny, but given the situation there is something that borders on humor) to me is that England is absolutely adamant that Scotland can't secede from the Union when that is exactly what they just forced Scotland to be a part of with the EU. It boggles the mind how they twist themselves into the weirdest illogical pretzels arguing that when Scotland voted to stay in the Union that vote was binding even post Brexit, as if the circumstances haven't materially changed.

We'll see how that one ends.

But eventually the only thing that matters is the economy and for now that doesn't look all that good for the UK, the sooner they turn around the better for everybody. But Europe is not going to push for this, it will have to come from inside for it to work.
You "forgot" where the guys who were killed chased and attacked the guy who shot them. You also "forgot" the guy who was shot in the arm had just pulled a pistol with that arm.

As to the "political protest", they were burning buildings and attacking people. (Curiously, many of these businesses were black-owned.)

Brexit was really all about EU migration. The economic & democratic argument was really just a pretext. I believe everyone knew this perhaps with few exceptions. Britons felt that citizens from poor EU countries shouldn't have equal rights.

Look up Body Worlds. The owner has been obtaining bodies primarily from China, plasticizing them, and displaying them all over the world (primarily in the US) charging public admission for all to see.

There is significant controversy and speculation about the origin of the bodies themselves, such as being Chinese political agitators and/or originating from “camps”. Some “returned” bodies clearly died of head trauma, others of bullet wounds. Two doctors in Russia were charged with supplying 56 bodies without consent that included homeless and mentally ill.
I took the post as just being part of any other day, it just coincidentally happened that it's Christmas, and out of the blue after my partner of four years with whom I had planned to move across the ocean, buy a house and have kids with, broke up with me yesterday.

Being suddenly alone and without familiar warmth makes NYC feel so desperately lonely.

I have yet to hear one financial benefit from Brexit or any other benefits really, unless you want a united Ireland or Scotish independance.

fair few negatives. to name a few

- increase friction in trade to business (extra paper work/ costs/ taxes/ delays at border)

- loss of talent from EU

- lack of miltary access to Galileo GPS, screwing up the latest weapons

- fragmented internal UK market, NI under different rules

- lack of influence and veto to new EU rules / regulations, so UK has no influence or say to the regulations to a part of its country (ie Northern Ireland)
> For now it is going mostly as predicted by the 'remain' camp, the 'leave' camp have a bit of a problem maintaining their credibility.

Let me know some specifics. If you look at banking, the EU has failed to make any major dent in London as a financial centre. Bank headquarters have not moved. Bankers have not moved. London still rules the financial world.

Also interesting to see is the other side, what the EU has progressed to since then. The new German government is saying they want full federalisation. Exactly what the leave camp was saying. Things certainly seem to be going that way. Moves to establish EU army. Strong arming of Hungary and Poland, overstepping the legal mandates of the EU some argue. So what exactly in this case did leave get wrong?

There are plenty of stress fractures running through the UK, both on the Southern and the Northern side of it. If England and Wales (and maybe Northern Ireland) want to continue to call themselves the UK I don't think anybody would object. But make no mistake, this could easily cause significant damage well beyond the intended damage caused by Brexit alone.
