In my relatively brief experience maintaining a Python web service backed by Pandas:

It's basically a DSL constructed out of the dismembered syntactic bones of Python, which breaks every piece of semantics in the host language that it possibly can. I'm sure this is convenient (and maybe even tractable to use) in an interactive notebook, where you can try out and verify behavior in real-time by looking at the output. But in any kind of non-immediate-feedback scenario where you're trying to engineer a production system, it's a hellscape of jumping back and forth to the documentation because even your most fundamental assumptions about the host language's semantics have been thrown out the window. On top of that (and largely because of it), it also resists static typing like crazy.

It also has a bunch of APIs where it's really hard to know what will and won't mutate, and others that are just made generally hard to wrap your brain around for the sake of saving a few characters.

Finally: some portion of the hate it gets is probably from engineers without a statistics background who aren't familiar with the huge dictionary of jargon and abbreviations its APIs use. This complaint is maybe less valid, since it is a data science library, but it certainly colors emotions and makes it even harder to deal with in a production context for lots of us. There were several times where, once I did some research and dug past the jargon and learned all the background for what it meant, the concept itself wasn't complicated. But Pandas did use the jargon, so I couldn't just understand, I had to go learn stats first and traverse all this needless indirection. It's an API that isn't designed for engineers but engineers often have to deal with it anyway.
If the authors life is not being impacted by his ADHD then he does not have ADHD. The clinical diagnosis for a mental illness is that it impacts your life in a negative way. His attention deficit does not impact his life in a negative way, therefore it’s not a disorder.

The author frankly does not know what he’s talking about. And, clinically, he does not have ADHD.

I have a mood disorder (NPSLE). I am on permanent disability and I have been hospitalized several times.

Even though I know my disorder comes with a gift, and rather unappreciated gift because I do consider myself neurodivergent, I also know at times I want to die at my own hands. And I also know it makes me unable to work.

I think the threshold for where we think some Neurotype is affecting our life has been lowered dramatically.
> Is Go really suitable…? I love Go, but so far I haven’t seen any desktop applications written in it. I guess that’s for a reason?

I have deviated away from both Go and Rust. Some people in this thread have recommended the Zig programming language and it looks very promising. Right now I'm experimenting with that.

> BTW, if you want some inspiration, have a look at the browser bundled with SerenityOS. It’s written in C++.

This is so awesome, thanks for sharing it. I'm going to love checking out the video and the source code!

One similar thing I know about is a Rust port of the Netsurf browser [1] to Redox OS [2] an OS written in Rust. But this is even better!

Do you think that it might be harmful to discourage the use of a medication for everyone simply because the medication affected you in a way that you didn’t find helpful?

I have severe ADHD and Adderall has played a huge role in allowing me to do things (like building a successful career as a software engineer) that never would have been possible without it.
I disagree! 'bob' is a fine identifier for an object in the domain of discourse and an excellent key to bind together disparate facts representing diverse information about the object. For example:

person_name(bob, "Bob").
person_town(bob, "Bobberton").
person_occupation(bob, "Bobbie").
person_hobby(bob, "Bobbing").

And so on. And if there's multiple Bobs, 'bob1', 'bob2', 'bob3' etc, are also fine identifiers.

You certainly don't want to have "King Solomon's Mine" as the first term in a fact. That's fine for user-level representation, but not so much as a system-level representation. 'place_name("King Solomon's Mine") would look downright awful during debugging, especially if it were expanded into a character list.

(I use text debugging exclusively, so YMMV).

Anyway that's how I write all my Prolog programs so it certainly arises in practice.

Because it's impossible. Take a loan, acquire the money and not the debt, repeat. It's a mental bomb planted by corporate drones to melt your mind. Because if Chewbacca is not a wookie why is he living in Endor? It makes no sense.
Not a pastiche at all. And the BBC kept at it for decades.

That's not a straw man. He's just stating the same thing you are when you say:

> disorders require that the deviation amount to a disorder

That is medicalizing diversity. Creating "disorders" where no one is bothered by them.

This is not uncommon in psychology. In the 1970s, homosexuality was also a "disorder."
It’s not wise to make assumptions about how the law works when there’s money on the table.
Daily 20 hour water (& salt) fasting reduced my desire to jump between tasks

You mean you only consumed water and salt for 20 hours of the day, or avoided these? Just trying to get clarity.

Also, did you find that type of carb food had much impact, or just overall amount?
I don't love the current approach to the Fediverse but there's so little substance to this article. It starts out by insulting software engineers who build free OSS: "ActivityPub looks like it was written by an idiot who just won second prize in idiots' contest."

It's easy to insult people, but I don't see many clear technical arguments here (other than "well STMP already did this so why bother reinventing it" or that the docs suck).
> Is it really a good idea to take all the brains out of Russia? What would be left? Criminals and nuclear weapons? Is this a good outcome?

For the past decades, it already felt that the main exports from Russia were a) fossil fuels, b) organized crime. What else does Russia provide the world?
Almost, except without the signature, the paper, the contract, or the regularity. But almost.
The first thing I think of there is browsing the web.

Different image formats have different use cases and substantial advantages over each other. And it's often impossible to convert without losing quality.

But everything gets to be HTML. Or the compatible variant of XHTML. Nothing else has any real support, and when it did, like flash web pages, that was not good.

For text unicode wins out easily, with UTF-8 and UTF-16 far above the other encodings, and the differences are minor enough that we should just use the better one.

> we should have OOB encoding info (whether in a filesystem config or whatever). This is the only possible path to robust handling of encoding

I don't know about that. Old files, which represent almost all the non-unicode non-ascii text we have, are unlikely to ever be properly tagged. For new files, are those tags really needed? If you have a firewall where you mandate tagging behind it, you're already mandating a format for attaching tags, so why not mandate utf-8 instead?

That's possibly one of the best "fooling you while telling the truth" in print.

Just think of the travel experience of the poorest consumers versus the richest.

I interpreted your question as "How does it make sense for Sourcegraph to build this as an open source thing, and not as a paid product?" which I thought was a super reasonable question.

I think "Why is this open source?", though, is what got you down-voted because it implies it should be closed source, when folks obviously prefer open source.

Hope that helps!
The "neurodiversity" viewpoint here is that what we call "ADHD" is part of the natural variation in how human brains work, and that it's a category error to think of it as a malfunction to be repaired, but rather as a difference to be accommodated. That accommodation may or may not be via medication and therapy, but that shouldn't necessarily mean that the underlying neurological state is a diseased one.

A good analogy would be height: a person who is several standard deviations from the mean will face challenges in life that require various forms of intervention, but we don't generally think of them as having a _disorder_ unless there's an identifiable biological cause that usually has other effects.

Another good point of comparison is vision. We can accurately measure vision and create medical devices to correct unwanted variation. As someone with myopia, I find it to be only slightly medicalized -- going to get an eye exam doesn't feel much like visiting a doctor, and people don't tend to talk about it as one does a medical condition. I imagine that if we were able to make a similar kind of standardized assessment of whatever neurological basis there is for ADHD, we would consider medication for it more akin to a stepladder or a pair of glasses (or even an antihistamine) than a treatment for a mental illness.
Truth. The author seems to want to make some distinction between his ADHD and depression. Only because he can handle his ADHD, and not his depression.

Piping hydrogen would be no different than piping natural gas,

On the face of it, that would appear to be true. But far larger amounts of Hydrogen would be required to produce the same amount of energy than the equivalent amount of natural gas.

"But because hydrogen is so much lighter, or less dense, you need approximately 3 times the volume of hydrogen as compared to natural gas to get the same amount of energy." -
https://www.powereng.com/library/6-things-to-remember-about-...

Generally, to transport and store Hydrogen, it is liquefied. That introduces a whole new set of problems, as you have to use metals that continue to be strong at very low temperatures for pipes and tanks.

> do you believe supplementing exogenous ATP would reduce mitochondria energy generation and therefore oxides gen?

ATP is a highly unstable molecule, precisely due to its high energy content. It cannot be effectively supplemented exogenously.

Obviously a PhD is not a substitute for actual programming skills.

But what is so specific about your needs that the candidate absolutely must have a CS degree -- and for which it simply will not suffice, as is nearly universally standard throughout the industry, to have "equivalent experience"?
>So you think that it's still somehow meaningful to refer to the macrostate "the ball may be black or white" and the associated entropy even if the color of the ball is known.

Yes. A probability distribution can still be derived from a series of events EVEN when the outcome of those exact events are known prior to the actual occurrence.

I believe this is the frequentist view point as opposed to the bayesian viewpoint.

The argument comes down to this as entropy is really just a derivation from probability and the law of large numbers.
It’s quite possible you don’t have ADHD. They diagnosed me with ADHD and gave me Adderall. It threw me in to manic episode which landed me into the hospital.

This seems to be very interesting. I will take an in depth look at it. Thank you for recommending this!

While the projects logo/name exists longer than I'm in the project, I had my thoughts about it as well.

I came to the conclusion, there are so many car stickers/unlicensed merch or even companies with a similar logo, there shouldn't be an issue for a small open source project. Maybe a dangerous conclusion, that should be revised when Alice grows :)

Speaking of blaming the author.

This post is a fantastic example of the poverty trap. We design laws that, on paper, help the poor; and then we blame them for not taking advantage.

When in reality, they are poorly implemented, poorly advertised, and confusing.

With a $10k cap, this program is clearly intended to help people with low assets. How many people with a net worth under, say, $20k in the US? Tens of millions! How many of those would've really loved the extra $850 to offset this year's record inflation? Basically all of them! How many of them found this obscure website with awful UX and received the money? Approximately none!

I think I might have ADD, but since I'm a straight A student, socially well adjusted and not hyperactive I can not get any healthcare professional to take my problems seriously.

I cannot do things in time. Not even things that should be rewarding and fun. I cannot start tasks until it's too late, or in the rare event I start I cannot focus long enough on them to make a difference. I cannot really explain why. I know I should just do them, but there's some mental block that I cannot overcome. It has always been this way. None of the strategies I've tried ever made a difference. I always have a to-do list of a hundred small and big things I should have done two weeks ago that stresses me out. I also always lose things.

It's not unusual that I end up crying alone due to stress over all the things I should have done and feeling stupid for putting myself in the same spot again.

I manage to get good grades simply due to the expected workload being much less than my capability and being a good test-taker. At the final weeks before an exam the urgency of the situation allows me to absorb whole courses in a single week and get an A on the exam. But had I just worked 2 hours a day during the whole semester instead I could have saved myself all the stress and the depression and been a lot happier. And even though I know this, I will invariably do the same thing next semester.

I've tried getting help and a diagnosis, but the doctors will dismiss me after a single look at my grades. All they see is a student with great grades (and therefore not in need of help) looking to scam them out of some study drugs.

I get by, and manage to never get in any huge trouble despite my shortcomings. The big problem, except my mental health, is how it negatively impacts my relationships. I have a heard time prioritizing my girlfriend when I'm always stressed and always have a hundred things I should do, which is a reoccurring problem in our relationship. And making time for my friends is even harder.

I have cut out most nonessential responsibilities from by life just to reduce the stress a little. But I have no idea how I will manage big responsibilities like having children in the future without burning out.

I have given up any hope of getting a diagnosis. But I'm worried about the future, and I don't know what to do.

There's probably no help to get here, of course. I just wanted to get if off my chest.
> If the authors life is not being impacted by his ADHD then he does not have ADHD.

I’m not sure this is correct. If someone is managing their ADHD it doesn’t mean they don’t have it.
At the risk of sounding naive, do people really use this kind of language with one another? To my ears, it doesn’t sound professional, it sounds openly passive-aggressive.
> So if I go to a car dealership and ask how much a car is, and the dealer says $30K. I say I would pay $28K. The dealer says "sure! sold!". By this logic I would be required to buy the car.

Yes. What’s your point?
> If you're a salesperson in a shop, and I ask "how much for that vase?", and you say "$100", and I say "I'll buy that vase for $100." then that looks like a contract. It's the acceptance that creates the contract; not payment.

Is there a single case where any shopkeeper has been held to specific performance?

I'm pretty sure if someone says "how much is the vase?" and you respond "$100," they say "I'll take it" and you say, "well, that's what it's worth but I'm not actually ready to part with it..." there's no binding contract to sell. But I'm not a lawyer, and I'm looking forward to a resolution here.

> N.B. Cancelation of a mistake fare has nothing to do with a post-sale price increase; because a contract that involves a mistake is rescinded, meaning that it is no longer recognized as binding - the airlines are not asking people to pay more in the context of an existing contract. The doctrine of mistake doesn't apply to the case where you intended to sell for a particular price then realized it was a bad deal for you.

This is actually incorrect. The DOT makes it clear that 399.88(a) requires airlines to honor mistake fares.

... if a consumer purchases a fare and that consumer receives confirmation (such as a confirmation email and/or the purchase appears on their credit card statement or online account summary) of their purchase, then the seller of air transportation cannot increase the price of that air transportation to that consumer, even when the fare is a “mistake.” [1]

A contract of carriage provision that reserves the right to cancel such ticketed purchases or reserves the right to raise the fare cannot legalize the practice described above. The Enforcement Office would consider any contract of carriage provision that attempts to relieve a carrier of the prohibition against post-purchase price increase to be an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712.

However, they stopped holding airlines to that after a few folks took advantage.

> Or drinks where you cannot tell if they have any alcohol in them.

Proving this for a sample is pretty much impossible because you’re simply masking it and the sensory performance of humans is highly variable. You can get some imperfect approximation of blinding but it will be a compromise.
Fediverse isn't a formal name, rather it's an umbrella term people use.
ADHD is a physical condition, not a mental illness. You can still have it an not be negatively affected by it.
I find the Google Pixel line fits that description pretty well, but very differently. I prefer the software over iOS, and hardware is good enough, although not nearly on the same level as an iPhone.

This seems like the right thread to ask.

I love the idea of tools like these to be able to easily and programmatically draw diagrams, but eventually it gets thrown into a powerpoint, where then it is locked behind some tool and arcane DSL that only I know. So when my boss who doesn't care about the tools inevitable wants to move the arrow up an inch or make the box green instead of blue, I have to go back to do it. Meaning I give up on using these tools so I don't end up a fulltime diagram engineer.

Anyone know of a tool that is close to inkscape/graphviz, but has an "export back to powerpoint" feature?
ADHD is a common condition in adults, estimated to be around 3-5% of the population. It's very frequently comorbid with other behavioral disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. But even "pure" ADHD can be quite disadvantageous. People with ADHD are much less likely to finish school, have trouble staying employed, more likely to be divorced, have greater health care utilization among other adverse outcomes.

Despite these factors only 20% of ADHD individuals receive treatment which can make a big difference. Medications can be helpful but are not by any means a "cure". Rather specific behavioral therapies are a necessary part of an effective treatment program.

As a physician specializing in behavioral health, I've treated a great number of ADHD adults. It's impressive how much improvement patients could make over a period of months to years as a result of their determined effort. I came to appreciate patients' innate talents that many were eventually able to exploit. It was gratifying to see some become top-tier innovators in their fields including technologies.

Of course people will "identify" unique traits as part of their sense of "self". ADHD individuals may come to regard aspects of their quirky cognitive styles as part of an "identity" but that's not necessarily the same as having ADHD as the biggest component.

Last thing I'll say is that ADHD is considered a developmental disorder. IOW there's no sharp line between having/not having it. The extent it's a problem depends on the context, which is a huge discussion topic in its own right.
I have a Lenovo Yoga 720 back from 2018. There's a bunch of input methods -- touchpad, touchscreen, pen on screen. The touchpad is better than a Mac (just as responsive, but gestures are customizable). The touchscreen is fantastic, prob more responsive than most Android phones. The pen works really well, though it is worse than the Apple pencil. Scrolling is done the same way on a phone. For hover -- most websites are built with mobile in mind, so hover is very rare.

The yoga line does 2-in-1s right. Try to check one out, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The expression of a disease or disorder is all that really matters. If he went into a doctors office today, instead of say 10 years ago, they would not diagnosed him with ADHD.
