For those who didn’t grow up in MS-DOS, “debug” was the absurdly limited assembler that shipped with the operating system, and was the only development tool available on a fresh install (apart from BASIC).
It's not even rural. It's less than 3 hours from 3 major cities (and within an hour of a minor one), in a popular weekend vacation spot, and yeah, it's pretty mountainous but it's also got plenty of infrastructure already.

It is amazing how our traditional telcos have failed us. Buildout of broadband was fully-funded by the government in the 90s, and it flopped; They took the money and never built anything. These communities still do not have access to reliable broadband as it was defined then.
I don't have medical credentials.

I do have an ADHD diagnosis confirmed by multiple people who do, and a PhD in math as a baseline for avoiding making false claims.

You should trust my blog because about 50% of it is quotes/art from ADHD advocates (with and without credentials), and the rest is details of how it applies to me.

I'm speaking there as a member of a community.

My blog has three kinds of information:

* My personal experience. This is obviously 100% true, as I'm the primary source on that.

* Relatable illustrations/comics, made by ADHD advocates, and relatable memes, taken from ADHD communities, which indicate that my experience is shared by many other people, and help you understand it better.

You shouldn't trust my blog. It's meant as a PSA. It's there for one reason only:

For you, to see if you relate to many of these entries.

If you do, then this is a starting point for you to understand yourself better, and get help.

This blog is also intended as an aid for ADHD people to explain the condition to others. Many people have thanked me as it helped them to that end.

Guess I'll add a testimonials section one day.

Finally, of course you should trust the opinions of medical professionals. You'll find that I'm either linking those, or if you look them up, they corroborate my experience.

However, again, this blog is not meant as a diagnostic tool or an authoritative source. It's for other undiagnosed people with ADHD to learn about what it is that they have.

I was one of such people. I learned about ADHD from memes. I'm passing it on.

The comment you are replying to didn't even touch on "what are the appropriate ages to learn multiplication".

That level of discussion is really astonishingly low. You respond to something the parent comment didn't even touch on, and half of your comment is offenses to the parent commenter.
Fair point, but doesn't that assume that calorie burn is static? Presumably if these people are up for four hours extra they are burning more calories than they'd be if they spent equivalent time asleep.
I am aware of that, but my definition of a good manager is someone who was forward looking and focused on clearing roadblocks to allow the team to function properly, and can get the team aligned with the business needs.

If I am being asked to go above and beyond in a role, but the same is not being asked of my coworkers, or I see HR policy against staff being enforced selectively, this is the classic 'bad management' that immediately gets me offside and I am no longer as interested in work.
I'm not sure they would help as I don't actually have traumatic memories from back then. I went through stressful times when young, where I was in a society I didn't fit into and dealt with a lot of stress. I don't know why this should make me permanently unhappy, but since then I've felt this way. But no memories of that time are particularly bad, in fact I have plenty of fond memories of that time. Maybe too much stress just has some certain effect on developing brains, is my personal theory

I find those ideas intriguing in their own ways, but I'm not sure if they'd help in my situation.
I would guess there is less interference between a ground station and a satellite than between two ground stations. Two main reasons:

1) The storm would have to be right on top of the ground station to be in the line of sight when talking to a satellite. For the 3g case, the storm could be anywhere along the 15km between the two ground stations.

2) Storms typically cover a larger area horizontally than they do vertically, so for most angles, communicating with a satellite should go through less of the cloud than horizontal 3g communication. I'm sure there could be storms where this is not true (eg a tall thunderstorm directly above the ground station), but my guess is that such storms are more rare.
> If contractors' time is tracked using Upwork tool then this problem will not exist.

But that's for countering the opposite problem -- when the contractor tries to scam the client. Here, the client is the scammer.

And didn't TFA say that Upwork tried this tack at first -- but stopped that line of argument after he provided testimonials from the client that he had indeed performed the work?
>Such a claim has been refuted by other virologists.

You make it sound like there’s a consensus here, but I don’t think that’s actually the case—at least not anymore, if it was true before.
This is more than a chain of reputability. Someone you hold in esteem confers some of your feelings for them onto their preferences.

A parent likes a certain band. A lover likes a certain restaurant. A deceased person you respected held high opinions of someone you weren't necessarily fond of, but that you're now willing to overlook or reconsider.

There's a tinge of emotion.
Let me paraphrase OP: Star Trek is mainly a TV show but also made some movies. A Star Wars fan will tell you there are 4 good Star Wars movies. A Star Trek fan will tell you there are 6 good Star Trek movies. For Star Wars to not even be the better movie franchise (and definitely not the TV franchise) means these responses are just... inexplicable.

It does, the `//go:` stricture is a pragma / annotation.

And though I don’t remember any being at the struct-definition level, Go 1.16 added one at the “const” (toplevel var) level so adding it for structs doesn’t seem like an issue.
Making Open Source economy more viable with dual license collectives
I really believe in this general category. Giving people healthcare that isn't a shitty experience will change the world.

I'm not confident a typical telehealth-style consultation with one of these direct-to-consumer companies is that great, but by the same token, I am confident the medical care I get in a traditional setting is mediocre. For example, the time an MD tried to convince me I couldn't be feeling pain... after I told him I was specifically there for pain.
No need to be defensive, I was merely suggesting one approach, and didn't even criticize Go anywhere in my comment.

I had the incredible experience to speak with him a few weeks ago and be a quick guest on one of his podcasts where he speaks with random fans who send him their number. I spoke with him on a whim, mostly because my wife adored Full House growing up and I thought it would be a neat surprise for her if he called while she was with me. And as luck would have it she was not home when he called.

We spoke for 7 minutes or so and he was just so damn pleasant and likable. I think we're hardwired to assume the worst about celebrity egos. But he just came across as an affable dude you could have a beer with.

A few weeks ago he was a vibrant voice on the other end of the line and now he's gone. Absolutely surreal.

I see the license is still the MIT license. Why doesn't this narcissist dev change the license to say: "Companies who do not pay me $1 million shall NOT consume this" ?

The Chaos
Actually, Knuth first wrote TeX in SAIL (1977–1978), then discovered everyone was interested and rewriting it for their own systems in divergent ways, so he rewrote a "portable" version in WEB (Pascal) (1980–1982), and he did indeed leave it at that, a few years later (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb11-4/tb30knut.pdf). It's not that he's easily distracted; it's just that he really cares about quality, and underestimated how long this detour would take. :-) (He told his publishers in March 1977 that he'd have proofs for them in July; he was expecting it to be a month or two of work; not 10+ years.)
In the early 90s, in Saudi Arabia, there were two national tv channels. Channel 1 and Channel 2.

During the month of Ramadan, right after we break our fast, we would run to the tv room and tune in to channel 2. A spotlight would frame a door and the announcer would go, "...ladies and gentlemen, Bob Saget!" He would walk in with his signature suit and greet the crowd. America's funniest home video was one of the few American shows that ran on Saudi TV. Right after, they played Full House. So many memories.

Many Muslims will stop for a moment today and make a grateful prayer for Bob Saget.

Rest in Peace.

Our baby was caught "smiling" in the high resolution ultrasound a few months before birth. We thought it was a very cute image of her face looking directly out at the ultrasound but we did think it was just a fluke, she couldn't actually be smiling.

We have a photo a few weeks after birth where she is curled up on my chest in exactly the same position and she is smiling, and it is exactly the same facial contour as we saw in the ultrasound. That's just her face.

Well, for one, I'm not a software engineer. I do system administration work and, yes, it happens a lot that there's the "bang my head against it for weeks to make it Be Correct" outcome or the "I've beaten my head against it for a week and the user or my boss or both are mad and time to do the obvious workaround."

They've told him what they want: a bank account. So...give them another one? If the author wants to keep spending hours trying to get $2,300 to go exactly where he wants and debugging Amazon's system, he is of course free to do so.

Me, I would have done one thing he did--remove Amazon Pay--and gotten my $2,300 four weeks ago. That's not a criticism, just a difference in tactics.
Indeed it is possible. I could be getting away with legal, accounting and bank fees only and paying 0% but I prefer this way.

Through the history there are loads of examples: Warren Buffer paying lower tax rate than his secretary (ever got interested how?), Eduardo Saverin denouncing US citizenship in favor of Singapore citizenship and saving hundreds of millions in taxes.

Right now I hire contractor developers in Ukraine and they pay 5% on their income + minor accounting fees.

There are loads of government incentives around the globe, especially for the IT people.

US is the worst of citizenship in terms of taxes. You pay taxes citizenship-based on your worldwide income, while most of other countries tax residents, not citizens.

In a short, move away from a high-taxation country in a low-taxation country and enjoy the benefits. Or become a perpetual traveler and be a tax resident of NO country. There are loads of countries that offer good balance between taxes and life quality.

> You seem to imagine a "vaccine" to be something that is able to entirely protect a host from the disease and entirely protect a host from spreading it.

No, I simply trusted in the advertised protection against Covid infection by the mRNA vaccines would exceed 90%, I was hopeful that if I was one of the unlucky 10% to contract it, that the case would be mild. I was trusting what we were being told. When the reality set in, so did skepticism. Optimism to realism.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different...

“Based on evidence from clinical trials, in people ages 18 years and older, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was 94.1% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in people who received two doses and had no evidence of being previously infected.”

I guess I don’t understand someone who claims they knew that the vaccines would not be effective in stopping the spread of the virus, but were still optimistic and hopeful that the vaccines would end the pandemic. You generally don’t go from realism to optimism. It’s usually the other way around.
The author should first change his LICENSE before he does crap like this. Make sure the terms of the license upfront state that "billion/trillion dollar companies" are not permitted to use this library. Stop using the MIT license for your hactivist project.
I'm imagining it's also possible that there could be bugs in a postinstall script that make it behave differently during an upgrade.

This is actually somewhat an argument that postinstall scripts are maybe a bad idea. They're quite hard to test. It's better to have the package manager simply manipulate files in a declarative fashion than have it run package-provided code that may be buggy and introduce issues.

Yep, and now we are in a better position than we have been in a long time since a number of engines are building their own indexes.

> The next fascinating application is the WordStar 3.30 -- it's a pretty simple text editor, and its size is less than 100KB.

WordStar 3.3 was a popular word processor at the time -- you could write books on it, and print to character-based printers. There was also a "Mail Merge" add-on, for doing mailing labels and customized letters from a database.

I used WordStar (IIRC, 3.3) on MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.11, on a PC semi-compatible.

Regarding 100KB (for the `.COM` file? RAM?), I can't remember whether WordStar used overlay files to swap in code. But it fit on a 160KB floppy, and ran on a 128KB RAM MS-DOS machine.

I also used the less-known CalcStar spreadsheet software (which was overkill for the accounting needs of my adolescent lawn-mowing business, and then a tiny shrinkwrap software business).
And this is the exact point of the whole subreddit and movement :)

Most of us in the tech world have the benefit of huge salaries, amazing benefits, and a lot of control over our working conditions. And yet many, if not most, of us still experience a significant amount of work-related stress.

Why should anyone accept this as the status quo?
Demonstration HTR-PM connected to grid
when i signed up for verizon fios maybe.. 3-4 years ago, they blocked http port(s). i'm not sure if they still do.

also, the author makes the point that you quote,

>> You may not have a public IP, and if you do, it likely changes from time to time.

you then go and deny this claim and contradict yourself,

> generally do not change IPs frequently (unless your router/modem is restarted)

That's the point the author is making. How frequent and what may cause it doesn't matter, the point is, your IP address will change. When it does and if you ignored that in your infrastructure, you'll have problems. Regardless of how frequently it happens, you have to deal with dynamic IPs.
It also doesn't help that in the recommend setup that running bazel actually runs bazelisk which would give it the dazzle pronunciation.

It's interesting. It could be related to the fact that if you didn't have enough sleep you feel tired and this "bad" so your natural inclination is to think maybe if I ate something good I would feel better.

KiKit: Panelization and automation for KiCAD made easy
Debugging complex systems in production is much easier, if you can rely on certain things. Thus, simple logging to files using known configuration eliminates one variable to debug. With an event bus, there’s always the question of “did the event not happen or did some upfckery prevent the message from getting where I can see it?”.

While I do agree with the need to simplify code, moving to an event bus transfers the complexity to where we don’t necessarily want it - to system level. Now there’s one more moving thing to be deployed, monitored, scaled, networked. And, by the way, that moving thing is mission critical, as without it you are flying blind, including in terms of infosec. Is it worth it? Maybe in some scenarios. But definitely not to the level of a code smell, that should be something to be avoided universally.

If there are tabs between the code and the comments they won't align if you customize their length. If you use spaces there then you're just hypocritical.

Many could be solved with smart tools. Have your editor reformat the text to your preference. Have it put it back to the project's preference when you check it in.
In France, it depends on the provider. The ones I've tried:

Orange DSL would change the IPv4 fairly often, sometimes while using it during the day. Huge PITA. You could pay for a fixed IP. No IPv6 on DSL. I have no experience with their fiber offer.

SFR used to have a fixed IPv4 on FTTH, but now they're rolling out CG-NAT. Which is even worse, because not even DynDNS can save you. Not sure if there's the option of paying for your own fixed IP. You do get a fixed routable IPv6 prefix (/56 I think). Older installs based on FTTC + Docsis get a new IPv4 on reconnection; no IPv6.

Bouygues still seems to have a fixed IPv4 on FTTH. They're rolling out IPv6 with a fixed /60.

There are "pro" offers, but they usually require you to have an actual registered business, which does incur some other costs.

Edit: Added IPv6 info.
