> All a "learning disability" is is a requirement for a different approach from the instructor than the one-size-fits-all nonsense that we push down poor kids' throats as "education".

Tell that to my Dyslexia, I had many mentors growing up, and was taught by many people using many different approaches. I still can’t spell for shit, and my phonic processing is still garbage.

No about of different teaching methods is going to change the fundamentals fact that my brain struggles to turn sounds into words, resulting in me hearing noise rather than speech, and turning ideas into written words.

I’m perfectly articulate, indeed I’ve been accused of being “too articulate”, whatever that means, by my written prose is poor because I struggle translating phonic sounds into letters and words. Even simple words like “because”, “through”, “thought” etc which I’ve written and read correctly millions of times, I still struggle with, and need help from a spellchecker to get correct.

If that isn’t a learning disability, then I have no idea what it is. But it sure as shit isn’t a teaching failure.
True, and the result is that a lot of people (even those with high grades) come out of high school not being able to read classics or just primary sources from before the 20th century.
> im really missing concept of any cloud/online password manager ... im just curious of benefits and hope to get enlighted by people who use it.

Since you are curious, here are two reasons:

1) I regularly use multiple devices, and it is convenient. For example, lately local business require online orders/reservations. If you set up an account up using your laptop, then you can immediately login to the account on your phone.

2) I trust the math behind online password managers. For example, see this white paper describing 1password
https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p...
In particular, see pages 10-11 (two-secret key derivation 2skd) and page 18 (How Vault Items Are Secured). As long as the 2skd protocol is implemented correctly, then it should not matter if the password manager is hacked. Presumably the few dollars a month you pay for the service is used to pay someone to carefully check this code.

Edit: In theory 2) reduces the "attack surface" to just the code implementing the 2skd protocol

For engine failures turning in to fatalities, the biggest cause are stalls/spins where the pilot fails to maintain airspeed, unload the wings and stay coordinated.

Flying the aircraft just above stall speed into the side of a barn is far more survivable than entering a stall or spin at 200ft.

Pilots panic and yank back the yoke in denial that they're going down. Or they try to “stretch the glide” in hopes of making it back to an airport. Or if the engine failure is on take-off, they don’t shove the nose down fast enough (you literally have seconds to do so before airspeed gets dangerously low)
Clang supports similar annotations for C++. That's being developed by Google too:

Just FYI - that is a _deeply_ unconvincing argument where you are effectively saying "sure it's a scam (the one you know), but I have since updated _my_ definition of scam; and let me tell you - it sure did make me some money and avoid a lot of cognitive dissonance!"

Like calling a pyramid scheme a reverse funnel system.

The ability to treat named arguments as unnamed is not necessarily a feature - it's too easy for the caller to mistakenly pass the wrong thing without a label, and it also makes it that much harder for the API owner to version it in the future. Python adopted a special syntax for named-only arguments for these reasons.
The confusion stems from how you initially worded it as

If you instead replaced "exception" with a warranty disclaimer then your intent would've been more clear in your original post.

Agreed, small sample size; but in defense of the researchers, I don't think the general public appreciates how difficult it is to find research participants - nevermind a lot of them. And, ones that remain adherent to study protocol throughout it's entirety, so their data points can be included.

It's also extremely expensive, and unless you're a god at writing grant proposals, most uni research labs are cash poor.

There's a reason most studies don't have lots of participants, and in most cases it's not laziness on the part of the researchers.

At one point I was in ER close to death from large clot. Doctors had been treating my clotting disorder with Prozac. Since clearly I was just making up symptoms due to my “depression”

Plus side doctors finally believed me that I wasn’t making up stroke symptoms.

> There is such a thing as dyslexia, and that cannot be fixed by teaching better.

Can you support this assertion? My understanding of the topic, having a person close to me with a dyslexia dx, is that the appropriate educational intervention is training the brain to use alternate pathways for different parts of the reading process. This isn’t “teaching better” but is “teaching.”

1. Your distaste is of course your prerogative! But I'd encourage you to read the piece and recognize that I go to great lengths to encourage people to seek out views beyond mine -- I even say that plenty of Autistic people disagree with me, and that their perspectives are valid. So your distaste is up to you, but I feel like you're misunderstanding my point

2. When you put "disabilities" in quotation marks you publicly assert that I'm faking my disabilties, or that something about being open about having disabilities makes those disabilities somehow less than real. Please don't do that, I work really hard.

3. I am intentional about my twitter bio, and there's a reason those terms are there. I'm working to dismantle oppressive neuronormative cultural norms that tell people like me we should be ashamed of ourselves and hide the things about us that make us different. Your distaste here isn't some sort of moral high ground, it's literally just an uncritical embrace of dominant cultural norms. Again, though, your distaste is your prerogative.

4. I "define myself" through a number of things on my twitter bio. Why are you focusing on two of them and then insisting that I'm defining myself via those two things? Further, why do you assume that what I choose to put in a twitter bio is what defines me as a person? That's a weird choice.

5. Finally, my project is literally about changing what's socially acceptable. I expect this kind of writing to make people who are committed to oppressive status quo uncomfortable. I literally don't care if me being who I am is "socially acceptable" where you live, or if it's "socially acceptable" where I live. That's the point. Fuck social acceptability, I'm a human being.

I hope that clears some of that up for you!

As the bug thread mentions, Bill is paid to work on Cray Fortran. It looks like the issue is that cray is using gfortran (and others) as a regression test suite, and found a bug. Possibly one that surfaced after cray fixed their own similar bug?

But more to the point, the Feds don't hand out cash without a procurement order. In theory USDS can help unblock that, but I doubt they get engaged in clearance required projects.

My initial motivation for using daemon mode was start up speed as my config had ballooned. I got it under control later, but emacs also got faster later so it was mostly moot in the end. Speed is no longer a motivator for me.

There are a few uses, for me, of daemon mode that have kept me using it.

First, like tmux and mosh, emacs daemon is persistent. Should I accidentally close it but not really intend to close it, everything is still there. Useful if you use emacs for more than just editing (like an IRC client). In that instance, all my buffers are still present and anything that needs ongoing execution will continue to happen.

Second, I never got used to using emacs as my shell. So I drop back to the shell for most of my filesystem navigation and running various CLI tools. With the daemon running in the background, this means I can close the client, navigate or run programs, and reload the client with everything in place or while opening a new file.

Third, I often use multiple daemons, one for each project/language. I use the shell to go to the project root and launch a new (named) daemon. Then when navigating around the project in the shell, I can open a file for editing using the appropriate client incantation. This lets me keep a full emacs daemon running but with only the appropriate buffers and subprograms (useful when dealing with interactive languages like Lisp or Erlang, where I may also have a project-specific REPL running).

Fourth, I use magit and tmux. So I usually split my window into two panes with editing/navigation/CLI activities on the left and magit on the right. The magit instance gets to share the same kill ring and buffers as the editing instances on the left. I know I could do the same by splitting the frame left and right the same way, but this has become my preferred interaction. Plus, since I don't use emacs' shell mode I often further subdivide the panes anyways, like editor in the top left, magit on the right, and shell in the lower left with fswatch running tests continuously.

I suppose that if I just did everything in emacs (including the shell and file system navigation) then it would be less useful. But I don't, so it's very useful.
So a company that sells PostgreSQL services thinks PostgreSQL is dominating. Brilliant.

The reality is that nothing is dominating. In 2021 there were more databases than ever each addressing a different use case. Companies don't have just one EDW they will have dozens even hundreds of siloed data stores. Startups will start with one for everything, then split out auth, user analytics, telemetry etc

There is no evidence of any consolidation in the market. And definitely not some mass trend towards PostgreSQL.
I don't buy learning D is more difficult. Everything needed is available, for free. Once a certain threshold is met, more doesn't add much of anything.

It's easier to transition from D to C++, or D to Python, than to transition from C++ to Python or vice versa.

You're right, it's not the job of a language to teach everything. But since D supports multi-paradigm, it's easier to use D to teach it.
optimistic? did we watch the same film? imo it couldn't have been more sardonic.

absolutely second the recommendation of watching it!
Ah, yes, this ([c-]tab-always-indent) seems to work. On both my machines. I'm slightly leery of declaring victory, but this might do the trick for me. I think the major reason I care about this so much (I don't have any unique-snowflake indentation approach) is being able to indent prose inside comments. This approach would buy me that. Let me run with it and see how it goes. Thanks again.
Off topic: what is the deal with people writing “learnt”? I might use that instead of learned if I was trying to be funny but I’m seeing people use it all over the place unironically.

> I wonder if Dan meant it that way?

I did not intend the comment to bully, it was an honest attempt to see if there's a disagreement beyond some specific wording.

I did mean it to specify that it's obvious to me that the author is not trying to speak for all autistic people, and that words like "ambassador" and language like "we"/"us" are being read in a very narrow way that doesn't line up with the the overall piece.

I do understand the author being defensive after multiple people have called them paternalistic and claimed that they are actually trying to be prescriptive or to group autistic communities together into a single voice. I also understand people being upset about seeing that viewpoint in the article, because it would be an upsetting viewpoint if the author actually held it. But... as far as I can tell, they don't.

I think it would be profitable to clarify what the actual issue is. Is the issue that the author is advocating for a harmful idea? Is the issue a specific kind of wording that rubs people the wrong way or that is ambiguous? Is the claim that the author is lying and that they do mean to paint everyone with same brush? Is that they're too rude and that they're unfamiliar with HN guidelines when they respond to people who say that they're trying to be paternalistic? What are people actually arguing about here?

There is a lot of fighting going on and there are a lot of rising tensions about an idea that the author doesn't hold. I don't know what people will hear or internalize if I use the phrase "call out", but I am doing whatever the respectful equivalent is of calling out that the author very clearly to me is not trying to force everyone into the same box or claim to speak for everyone. Past that, conversations about phrasing are fine, but at the point where you have the author themself on this page telling people that they don't speak for everyone who is autistic, why are we still arguing about whether they think they do? Can we move past that to whatever the grievance actually is?

Just isolating on a separate network isn’t enough — if an attacker compromises a single machine, then they get access to that network.
The original response was essentially blaming affected users, saying it was credential stuffing. Now they changed their story. If there is any credibility to the credential stuffing story, they should ask all users that received the email change password, not just say change it out of an abundance of caution.

Obviously something changed as the emails just started going out recently. Maybe it was a recent code change introducing a bug on their end, that's fine software has bugs, but they could explain it. Maybe attackers are doing something different, which is triggering an old bug causing incorrect emails. Or maybe LastPass still doesn't really know and is just giving a potential reason, like they did earlier saying it was credential stuffing.

I'd already stopped using LastPass years ago and deleted my account when this current mess started, so they weren't really going to win me back anyway. But the (current) response to this incident leaves plenty of unanswered questions.
I'd be curious to know if any other executive/mental function changed, something that may not have been measured before or after the treatment; not feeling depressed, self-reported, is not necessarily the same as having the same functionality as someone who's not depressed.
Good point. I agree. Most Ruby code uses `if <conditional> <expression> end`. Tried to rephrase it now so it gives the impression that `<expression> if <conditional>` is merely syntax that Ruby allows.
This is a common phenomenon in countries that have already peaked. There is a time of education/learning, which leads to prosperity, which leads to over confidence, which leads to complacency, and eventually a downfall. Repeat.

>> How is not banning / removing / restricting a book "enforc[ing] one group’s values on the children"?

The sentence you quoted literally presumes that that is the case. I say if you think it’s ok for one group to impose its values on kids as a whole you should think what these parents are doing (trying to impose their values) is ok.

But I suggest we should instead try to look for non-zero-sum solutions where neither group does that.
Skepticism was a poor choice of words on my part. I think skepticism is absolutely the right response for both sneakers and NFTs.

What I should have said is that it seems a lot of people dismiss NFTs with a certainty that doesn't seem justified considering there are other collectibles like baseball cards without any inherently valuable physical properties that have retained their value long-term.

I honestly don't know anything about the sneaker world besides that it exists, so that shouldn't have been my example.
As with a lot of English spelling variations, it's just a regional difference.

It’s not just environmental factors that cause chronic depression. Sometimes the environmental factors are the “trigger” that start depression in a person predisposed to it.
Tips for Developing in a Vacuum
The trial used fMRI data to find a cortical area that has functional connectivity with the DLPFC. That area is then targeted with a neuronavigation system (similar to AR), that helps the clinician place the TMS coil at the right spot and the right angle. This in addition to the magnitude of the pulses being based on the patient's threshold (e.g. minimum amount of stimulation that causes motor movement when used over the motor cortex) is what is meant by "personalized".

It's also of note that the treatment takes place over multiple days and there's multiple sessions in a day. During that time, patients are continuously evaluated. This trial was also only used on patients with treatment-resistant depression (i.e. have tried many different medications and forms of therapy, some included ECT) and were screened as such. From my understanding, the treatment was explored as a "last resort" for those that could find no other medical relief, but this obviously has further implications.
Custom domain support for the MS365 Home service requires GoDaddy. The business SKUs don’t have that limitation.

Actually being depressed can worsen environmental factors. Depression can make it hard (or impossible) to maintain work, relationships, hygiene, sleep, diet, and exercise. Losing the things can make the depression worse.
