I don't have a problem with anyone who doesn't want to think of ADHD or autism as a part of their identity. I don't have a problem with anyone who feels strongly about it. People who don't like that kind of categorization should be respected.

But I do have a problem with saying that other people can't view those categories as a part of their identity or talk about them, or that it's a pathology or weakness for someone to view something that has affected their brain their entire lives as being a contributing factor to who they are. Live and let live, people's understanding and internalization of disability can often be drastically different from other people's. This is something that pops up in almost every community of people with disabilities; just off the top of my head, I've seen fierce debate about this from deaf communities.

If it upsets and offends you to hear someone call ADHD/autism a part of your identity, it also upsets and offends people who have come to terms with themselves in different ways than you to be told that they have a pathology for thinking of themselves differently. Identity itself is a fuzzy word that different people approach in different ways; it isn't rigorously defined, and it is actually possible to give both sides of the identity/attribute debate space to breathe and to consider their identity in the way that's most helpful for them personally. I think it's unhelpful to punch down on people for having different experiences.
But even in Lompoc where he took off? That seems to be a pretty big town. I've even heard of it and I've never been to the US :) Also I see lots of military activity in the area (e.g. Vandenberg AFB). I can't imagine it would not be controlled.

Here uncontrolled fields are also common but you'd still call local traffic. And transponders are always mandatory. But aviation is not as commonplace as in the US.

> the right direction

I used to have a great relationship with Microsoft. I gave them money, they gave me software and went away (patches aside). Now they want to monitor me and advertise to me. It's fairly sad. And certainly not what I would call the right direction.
It's a resource issue. You should run for office on the platform of raising taxes to hire more investigators to collect FCC fines. Let me know how that goes for you.
I think we as a society just don't believe enough in the learning capacity of adults. I've recently taught my sister (24, ex-chef) all my highschool math (i was in a reinforced math class) plus analysis 101 in the span of two weekends. It was good enough that she now is in the better half or her college math class, full of 18 years old who just finished HS (and most of them with reinforced math options). My best friend learned spanish in less than three month at 27.

A corollary to this observation (adults, or a least young adults, can learn really fast, and even faster than adolescents) is that we need more formation options for adults. You should be able to leave school at 14, work a trade, then stop in your 20s to integrate college and learn something new. And college could be a more open place with ex-plumber, ex-cooks and ex-electricians in it. The best software engineer my age i worked with worked on HT lines for 3 years.
As someone who has used terrible to ok b2b apps my whole career I think people who are not programmers/designers don’t even think along those lines. “So the employee has to click seven times instead of one? Thats what I pay them for” kind of mentality. The only good news is the worst apps seem to die off over like 5 years.
How are you going to represent 0.3 using a non fixed point integer? And if you do, use fixed point, you suddenly have other just as common numbers you cant represent. You really think NaN is a better is a less intuitive result than what whatint64(1)/int64(0) gives? You really think the latter wont result in a bug as well?

gettimeofday is deprecated as of 2008. So even using it is a bug. Using it more than a few times per seconds is almost certainly a bug. The function also uses an ambiguous representation, but and as the docs dont specify, I would have to check the code to se if it relies on microseconds being less than 10^6, and even if I check this for standard glibc, I would not trust other implementations to do the same. However, as we can assume that the pseudo integer type used does not need to use have multiple codes for basic numbers, its easy to se that the range is just under 52 bits. gettimeofday is so old that they didn't even expect that emulated int64 was available.
That is, if they used a double instead, it would perfectly cover the same range, require much less code, while simultaneously been easier to get right, support all standard operations you would expect, behave more intuitively in many cases, and be faster on most platforms, though as you say, perhaps slightly slower on soft float platforms. Though I woudnt be so sure, almost every project notices float performance, almost no project notices gettimeofday performance.

The ABI would break by changing the type regardless, numeric types should never be used without explicitly specifying precision, and no, the burden is primarily on compilers. With float128 as a core language feature as it should be, noting that while it should be IEEE... compliant, it may be emulated, the burden on the distros would be small, and likely net beneficial as timestamps is one of those things that cause very rare and hard to replicate bugs absolutely everywhere.

> opposed teaching sign language to children and insisted upon oral education, to push pupils to assimilate into the hearing world

would go a long way to making it hard for deaf people to communicate with each other or form their own communities outside of hearing spaces. One of the first things you do if you want to integrate a community or break up a culture is you invalidate their language.
Too much noise frankly, and often actual output, let along profit, has little to do with any individual employees productivity. And most employees are part of a relatively small silo which would require extensive work to really figure out how to make them productive, and if they got more productive, the rest of the organization is likely to tarpit them.

Think of it as an army - infantry may be visible on the ground, but no matter how awesome an individual infantry person is, their transport folks, logistics folks, planning folks, etc. have a far more important role in winning the war. And everyone has to be effective, or that war won’t be won.

Well simply put they want people to use those pronouns when referring to them

What is it in particular that creeps you out bio wise? Are you creeped out by bios that indicate other things too? Preferred tech stacks, "Father, dog owner, CEO"?

You clicked on the profile presumably looking for more information about the person and you found the information most (publicly) important to them. Instead of being satisfied having found the information you're giving it the ol' Roger Ebert for some reason

For lack of a better phrasing.. why do you care so much what other people put in their bio? Can you not just close the tab or hit back or something?
> Let's say we have formulas for deriving two metrics, L and Q. L correlates very well with longevity; Q correlates very well with quality of life. For most questions about health policy, you will get similar answers with either metric, but there are cases where the two diverge sharply. Both L and Q are good measures of health, but their usefulness depends on the question you need answered.

We've all just lived through this. Governments and many people have such a tunnel vision for L that they completely neglect Q.

There are certainly some things about Python that make it easier to write hard-to-read code in it compared to Rust.

One example is that booleans in Python are considered integers (0 and 1) for all purposes, including arithmetic: True+True produces 2 with no warning whatsoever. Even in C++, where this is also legal, you usually also get a warning.

And conversely, Python is much more flexible when it comes to interpreting other things as booleans: on top of implicitly treating null pointers and integers as false like C does, Python does the same to empty strings and even collections. Then there's the part where "and" and "or" don't just return true/false, but rather the value of one of the operands, which needs not be a boolean.

Sequence comprehensions are also a mighty tool for producing unreadable code if desired, especially if you nest them and/or use the conditional operator. This is more so in Python due to the unusually ordered syntax for both.

Here's a fizzbuzz code golf example that combines these techniques:

[f"{(not x % 3) * 'Fizz'}{(not x % 5) * 'Buzz'}" or x for x in range(1, 20)]
Opposite for me. I retain much more by listening. When I read I tend to get hung up on unimportant details, and get distracted.
Good question. Pressure from the Greens comes to mind.

“The accident in Fukushima and the reaction by Germany's federal government coincided with the hot phase of campaigning for the important election in the rich and influential state of Baden-Württemberg on 27 March 2011, where after 58 years in power the conservative CDU was under threat by the Green Party (the Green Party won and provided the state premier for the first time in Germany).”

Two things come to mind immediately after. From the Wikipedia:

“Eight of the seventeen operating reactors in Germany were permanently shut down following Fukushima. Chancellor Angela Merkel said the nuclear power phase-out, previously scheduled to be completed as late as 2036, would give Germany a competitive advantage in the renewable energy era, stating, "As the first big industrialized nation, we can achieve such a transformation toward efficient and renewable energies, with all the opportunities that brings for exports, developing new technologies and jobs".”

It’s 2022 and none of this happened. Electricity prices soaring right at the time when these reactors would be helpful. Only now kicking off H2 programs. Jobs are at risk as reported now daily by Handelsblatt across multiple sectors.

“The nuclear electricity production was primarily replaced with coal electricity production and electricity importing. One study found that the nuclear phase-out caused $12 billion in social costs per year, primarily due to increases in mortality due to exposure to pollution from fossil fuels.[12]”.

Have you heard of Hambacher Forst? That disaster is a direct result of a phase out - a real disaster caused by a knee jerk reaction to “what if”.
I wonder what results you'd get if you tried a treatment which was literal torture...?

Eg. "We'll poke this red hot poker into you 10 times to cure your depression"... Many painful screams later... "So, is the depression any better now, or should we do more treatment?".. "Yes, yes, I'm pretty much cured!".

How can we be sure that this 'torture effect' isn't whats being measured here? Especially when the treatment appears to have unpleasent side effects, and the success of the treatment is measured with patient feedback...

I've had similar problems with spelling but have never been diagnosed with anything. Sometimes I've memorized a words spelling but when I write it down it looks wrong to me. So I look it up or use a spell checker.

The biggest problem for me has been noticing spelling mistakes in variable names. I can't find the bug yet it's just two letters swapped.

Oh and the frustration some people have when they spot an error.

Well for one thing, I didn’t see you use the phrase ‘call out’. That was the author.

I thought your comment was quite reasonable, but as soon as they jumped in to characterize it as a ‘call out’, it became something else. If they want to be defensive in a response to me, I can respond to that. If a group of people get together to ‘call something out’, that’s very different. We can move past it, but we can’t ignore the behavior, which is not typical for HN.

As for the use of the phrase “Ambassador of that culture”, I do still have strong objections to it. It comes way earlier in the document than the later qualification, and I am not of the view that the equivocation renders it moot.

The entire piece is about taking care with how one communicates about autism, and who gets to represent it. It’s not surprising that the way it does so is under scrutiny.

The word ambassador isn’t the only word in that phrase. The word ‘culture’ is also there. There is certainly an implication of two cultures in play.

The later part talks about a diversity of autistic voices of which the author is only one, but that doesn’t eliminate the ‘two cultures’ idea that has already been introduced.

The two cultures idea is definitely not universally held by autistic people. I suspect that this is at the root of a lot of the reactions.

Yes. It's asinine to run a large N study before having run a small one. So small N doesn't mean bad, it means preliminary.

Internet comment sections however are not great at nuance, and the difference between a bad study and a study leaving unresolved uncertainty is often beyond them.
"a call-out" is a very distinct entity from "being called out". Nobody was calling you out; rather, Dan made a particular point that the author appreciated being raised.
They’re not making a threat. They’re saying it’s important to an org that has thermonuclear weapons. Those people are a very unhumorous lot, and they would not grok why these little libs people would not understand that.

They are obviously not the masters of the domain they think they are, but that happens sometimes in bureaucracies.
> twitter community

This is where the disconnect is coming from. Twitter 'communities' are a tiny minority of persons. They do not represent the everyday person. This is particularly so with autism, as autism frequently entails social difficulties that get people ostracized from the communities they attempt to join. Twitter, in particular, is quick to ostracize, and you should therefore consider that "Autism Twitter" contains only the subset of autistic persons who can socially pass as conversant, and who choose to be vocal on social networks.
OK so just thinking about it this way made me realize it doesn't matter if the person is autistic or not, the problem is the communication breakdown, not the underlying cause of it.

Saying 'I'm sorry but I don't think we're having the same conversation, ...' and then resetting context might be all it takes. It certainly would be less horrifically offensive haha.

I moved from vim to emacs using emacs doom. Which is a configuration of emacs that makes it feel a lot like vim. Its a good place for vimmers to start imo.

However, its a good idea to stop using emacs doom at some point and get your hands dirty with configuring emacs. This just makes the transition more gradual.
> a call-out" is a very distinct entity from "being called out".

Sometimes, sometimes not. It depends on the context. This is atypical behavior for HN.

You don’t actually know this. It’s one viewpoint on what was happening.

I interviewed for an engineer role at Flickr right after they were acquired by Yahoo. It was a full day grueling interview in one of the San Jose towers with all the originals, Cal, Allspaw, Kellan, etc.

The last interview was with Stewart. He walked in with his laptop and pulled up my resume and saw that I was from Texas. He asked if I'd ever been to Marfa. He then asked if I'd ever been to El Paso. He then asked if I'd ever heard the song El Paso by Marty Robbins. We then sat there and listened to El Paso for the entire song. Then we made some more chit-chat and that was the end of my interview.

I didn't get the gig but I did find out my flight back to DFW was first class so that was nice.

Thanks Mykola,

I used the phrase in quotes to indicate that I also think it is not a great description. I will try to elaborate below.

> non-Autistic people shouldn't be given unilateral leave to talk over and in place of Autistic people, but that's exactly what you're doing.

Can you clarify what you mean? Are you referring to my use of that phrase, or something else? This statement feels like it leaves no room for me to make any comment on Autism, but I don't think that is what you mean.

> I see you saying that you can't possibly advocate for your son's needs without using that phrase

I don't think that's what I said. Your description of "current support needs" in particular is one that I'm having trouble reconciling. Specifically, you wrote "acknowledges that sometimes we do need support, acknowledges that our support needs can be variable, and doesn’t define us or our autism in a deficit-centered way."

My son needs 24-7 support, and will for the rest of his life. His highest functioning day still makes him incapable of self care. He cannot use the bathroom himself or tell someone he has a stomach ache. And I don't say all of this because I don't believe in his potential, or as someone who hasn't been and doesn't continue to do everything possible to help him find ways of communicating. But, at his age of almost 15 years old there are realities that I have to accept and plan for. I guess I'm saying, I feel the phrase "high support need," which technically true, doesn't really accurately convey what needs to be in place for him, and tends to group him with a lot of other people who have very different needs from him.

> All I'm asking is that you take the time to listen to Autistic adults, as well.

I don't know any other way to say this without sounding patronizing, but listening is not the same as agreeing. I did read your article, there is a lot I agree with, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective, but I respectfully disagree with this point. I think minimizing my son's level of need is harmful to him.
Can we? Why did you feel the need to correct me on what was happening? Does it make the discussion more substantive?
