> You've already decided to cast normal behavior and questions as immoral

I may or may not have, but that aside "wrong" as I used it here clearly means "factually wrong", not "morally wrong".

I'm not disputing that there are legitimate cases.

Simply saying the sheer spike in it from one generation to the next should make any rational person smell the rotten tuna.

I even have 1st hand experience with it: My teenie brother who thought for about 1-2 years he was trans and even considered biological sex change but as he matured a little realized that nah he's just gay.

Fact is kids and teens are actually dumb and don't know a lot about human psychology and physiology. They don't understand for example that simply being a little on the feminine side as a man or vice versa doesn't make you trans. And it ruins lives - primarily their own!

We should not act, as adults and parents, like we don't know better than them at least in 99% of the cases.
Xe Iaso here, thank you for your kind words. It really means a lot. A lot of the time we just fire things on the blog out into the darkness and it can feel like we get nothing back. ^^

Reactions like the GP are why we prefer to be more tactical about plurality in public. We've found it's better to be seen as an expert in your field AND THEN be more safe with talking about plurality topics than it is to be a vocal example of being plural and then having to fight uphill to be seen as an expert in things. Stigma is a bitch and a half to deal with.

We'd like to think that our writing and advocacy helps destignatize our form of existence in some way, but we have no way to track that other than the occasional kind comment. Maybe this job will be the one where we are more honest and open about plurality, but we've also found that it's an ultimate relationship strength test like coming out as transgender to people (I'm pretty sure it's why my brother refuses to talk to me). We don't want to lose more people, so we have defaulted to this quietly, but accurately describing how we experience reality thing and not emphasizing it too much. The blog is a team effort ;)

Interestingly enough, I've found that plural people tend to understand distributed systems problems at a much more intuitive level than others. It's to the point that if I was ever building out an SRE team to handle distributed systems problems, I'd probably try and hire as many plural people as I can and make them accommodated to the best of my ability so that we can leverage that innate talent in ways that were previously undoable. Maybe some day I'll get my wish, but not any time soon it seems.

Personally I'd say that otherkin and furry have overlaps but are not fundamentally the same thing. Think of it as the difference between being a fan of baseball games and aspiring to be a baseball player. They are in similar veins (both baseball related), but they are wholly separate things. Being furry and being otherkin are similarly different. I can ask around for a resource if you want, if you want to reach out privately please email me at xeiaso dot net.

I'd second the suggestion to avoid hate groups like /r/systemscringe, nothing good can come of it but continuing the cycle of needless hate. I'd like to think that people on this website are rational and can overcome the innate tribalistic feelings that those hate groups capitalize on, but I can wish in one hand and spit in the other then see which one fills up faster.

"Furries run the internets", and as a result the tech side of the furry fandom gives you a vast professional networking opportunity that you could never really get anywhere else. It makes fiscal sense to be a furry if you value having a large professional reach.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Twitter, and resisted setting up an account for many years. But I realized that there are a lot of interesting people out there with AD(H)D, and a platform like Twitter is literally the only place that they can post their content in a way that works for them. I'll take "learn interesting things in a way that's maybe not my favourite" over "not learn those interesting things at all" every time.
It's okay to say tech jobs aren't the right fit as well.
> The interesting thing is that despite the condition being composed of a wide gamut of seemingly unrelated behaviour, ~90% of people with ADHD respond extremely well to the same treatment - stimulant medication.

This is constantly presented as some sort of ultimate validation of these disorders and every time I read it I'm absolutely baffled. Stimulants used in ADHD medication improve focus and productivity for almost everyone, the fact that they also do it for people with chronic focus/attention issues should be surprising to no one... They're literally performance enhancing drugs.
It's a data format which can be expressed as a contiguous series of bytes and sent/stored; it's a serialization format.

This is not just nit-picking, it's been used precisely as such:

Oh interesting, I was assuming that recompiling the whole sqlite module woudl be in order. Thanks again.
This really isn't much different than what already exists. Office parks are already commonly placed in US suburbs. The problem is, because good highways already exist, people don't choose to live in the same places that they work. It is common to live in one suburb, and commute to another suburb.
In my experience, aiming high doesn't matter. You either have a big market or not, and most people initially overestimate their market size.
I do not agree. You can research how much of the population has blond hair, and how much this diverges from the "typical" hair color. But the decision to define or not define blond hair as a medical condition is a value call because the definition of a medical condition is ultimately that which people call a medical condition.

And whether something is clinically useful isn't the standard for defining a condition, because ability to successfully treat a disease isn't a standard in deciding whether something is a disease and because therapy isn't limited to people who have diseases. (Unless professionals are now calling marital problems a disease?)
One thing i'd like to see is links at the top of emails asking the user if they want to change their receive frequency; I know many newsletters already have a "change how often you get these" button, however, needing to go to that page and then enter & submit a form is tiresome and tends to not be worth it when the newsletter isn't that important to you. Indicating that you can change to 'monthly' in a single click/tap is probably much better UX.
Nobody claims this is unique to ADHD.
Why hasn't he made any money if he's generating 500K in revenue?
Hi friend!

My family stuff is what keeps me going though. My work is a basket case at the moment, 12-month contract ends in 4 weeks, and it's almost a full time job applying for jobs.

I've had three managers in my not-quite 12 months, none that I've worked with very closely, one that thinks I'm no good because I unwittingly stepped on the toes of a couple of institutionalized colleagues by "doing my job", who complained to this guy who'd been my boss a total of less than a week at the time.

"Just do what you're told" was his advice. So, what you're saying is coast until the contract is over? Done and done.

Makes it hard to get a good recent reference though, lucky the market is thirsting for warm bodies.
Exactly. There is no "upside-down" unless you train one way and then flip it. So I wish people would stop saying "babies see upside-down at first."
K8s does not have to be complex. If all your doing is, hosting a bunch of various web services, it is really simple. Actually, doesn't have to be just web: you can host services that only can communicate within kubernetes, or services that monitor and manage some XYZ resource, etc.. and that will all be really simple.

Even hosting redis etc.. is really straight forward.

It is funny, but the complexity starts to happen where you want kubernetes to handle other stuff: like hosting databases, or other storage resources, and if you want to for some reason I will never understand have your external services essentially communicate directly with kubernetes rather than have some middleware service you pay for do that for you (like a load balancer, etc.)

One thing I did have an issue with was setting up SSL... that was surprisingly stupid. Should have been much easier to do that with LetsEncrypt.
Is it possible to run it under one of the supposedly-faster alternative implementations like TruffleRuby?
Ahhh I love this idea! I thought of something similar back in 2020. Can't wait to test it :)
I was a biology major several decades ago now, which is a major dominated by extremely competitive pre-med students trying to get into Harvard Medical School. Taking speed during finals week was extremely common. I only tried it once personally, and I can't say it helped me concentrate better, because I could already concentrate perfectly fine to begin with. But I could not concentrate for 16-20 hours a day, every day for an entire week. With speed, you can do that.
Women have always thought and talked more about their feelings than men.

"I can retire by 65... I just need a budget."

Catching up to meet some goal no one understands isn't possible. The world will get warmer and warmer until some market/military/survival barrier is reached.

"We need to pass this law so that in 1000 years sea levels will be X" is complete farce.

I'm not saying the science is wrong. I've read the ipcc reports and im convinced of human caused warming. I'm saying being right about the science says almost nothing about what changes need to be made in the world.

Humans dont care about altering the environment to meet our needs. The Holocene Extinction carries on.
I always wonder why github doesn't do something like this. Right now they return html via ajax and innerHTML it into the DOM. Given that innerHTML is notoriously slow, returning something like this should be way faster.

Your lib seems to lack svg & @types support though. And I don't know why you have "virtual DOM" in the title, given that it has nothing to do with it :)
>But the majority of tech in Europe is: Dublin, Berlin and Amsterdam.

And Zurich and London (non-EU).
I did count the hot months, which would make the breakeven basically the length of your lease (well, I think for the lease I just compared the 3 year subscription which is slightly discounted) – but yes, if you figure that the person will unsubscribe outside of the 3 coldest winter months it's like a 10 year breakeven IIRC.

I don't know many BMW owners that keep their cars for 10 years.

To their mild credit BMW is at least charging what amounts to a discount for the subscription for their typical buyer, as long as they stay on top of whether they're subscribed or not.

I guess you could say it's annoying to have to subscribe and unsubscribe, and it would make a lot more sense if the subscription guaranteed that the hardware was repaired for free. Still, heated seats rarely break in modern cars from my experience.
Another a16z investment that's a textbook case of a Ponzi scheme, with no chance of actually making money beyond the redistribution of funds from recent investors to earlier ones. Meanwhile the company behind Helium gets rich from nothing, while pretending that there is an innovation.

LoRa is marginal. It won't ever take over the world, the need for it barely exist. It is a low-power IoT solution with data transfer rates up to 37.5 kbps that's optimal for challenging environments, where 5G is too expensive to deploy. Not only it's a niche market, but the companies with remote facilities that need it in the first place tend to deploy it themselves. It's inexpensive, and easy to manage.

Helium's other play is private 5G, citing the need for supporting underserved communities. They are underserved for a reason. 5G is expensive and complicated, it's simply not worth supporting a thousand people per deployment. Private 5G is more suitable for IoT use cases, only there you face companies like Amazon offering managed private 5G services with a low up-front cost.

The reality of these markets is deploying private equipment when and where the public network is not reliable or predictable enough. Helium's model of creating a larger public network is both optimistic, and not what the market is about.
> A great example I use is there are a ton of restaurants and fast food places around me. I used to walk to get lunch every day but eventually had to stop, these places realized most customers went through the drive through so they closed the lobby. Now even though this place is a 5 minute walk from me, it's no longer accessable if I'm not in a car.

I think this may have to do COVID and then staffing shortages creating a necessity rather than a active business decision. It would be ridiculous but couldn't you walk through the drive through? (I probably wouldn't do it either but I can't really think of a reason you couldn't)

Most of those are optional. You can use cash, you don't need a bank account, nor electronic tolling, or bill payment, emergency room visits are free and there's free clinics. Other various things like legal proceedings, voter reg, and taxes are not things that are "tracked", that's just basic citizenship requirements.

A national ID would make the few cases where you need to hide your identity (like you're a 10 year old girl who was raped and needs an abortion, or the doctor that needs to perform it - https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/10-year-old-rape-v...) much harder. Until our government decides not to be so fucking crazy, we need to push back on its ability to unjustly track and then punish its citizens.
I apply the concepts from MMM in professional contexts probably more than all other books combined. So many absolute timeless gems.

* No silver bullet

* 2nd system effect

* Mythical man month (adding people to a late project makes it later)

* Separate architecture and implementation

* "The Surgical Team" about technical team structure
If your current job can't motivate you, work on a side project or look for another job.

And don't be the weakest link in the (faulty) chain. It's leaves a better impression by notifying external inefficiency and quitting because lack of change, rather than being fired because your motivation and productiveness withered in silence.
How many writers do you know? I ask because the writers I know tend to ask for corrections without actually wanting them. What they want is for people to read what they've written, but simply telling people to "make yourself useful and read my shit" (as one of my writer acquaintances put it while drunk) simply isn't done.

They don't actually want corrections. Corrections would imply (to them) that they haven't in fact written heartbreaking works of staggering genius, but have instead failed to sufficiently polish their turds.
I’m on stimulants for idiopathic hypersomnia. While they give me energy and motivation, my mind is significantly more scattered when I’m on them. I take Vyvanse daily but have Adderall as a booster and the latter in particular does that to me. I certainly didn’t have the “oh, this is how my brain is supposed to work” moment that I’ve read a lot of people with ADHD having when first taking them.

I’ve also heard that some people with ADHD sleep better on stimulants, which definitely isn’t the case for everyone else.
Me too, mild sedative helps, like after a beer I can finally concentrate. Makes RTO a problem. :)
I think that must be an exaggeration, and a dangerous one at that.

A big part of the problem in California is that county jails are releasing "non-violent" criminals (and often violent criminals as well) almost immediately due to COVID protocols. This is why property crime is going off the charts... there are no consequences for stealing.
Chose Fargate over K8 too. I made the call, so no need for migrations :)
I personally hate seeing all the ADHD stuff, I feel like most of those people are faking/wrong as well. But I don't know, maybe I just have ADHD? I just feel like they are always like "this is life with ADHD" and I'm like "what? that's just life? isn't that how everyone is?"

The claim being false, let alone "propaganda", is highly debatable. Facebook should not be wading into such politically contentious issues - where what's right or wrong is so subjective - to declare one position to be false.
I feel like fingerprint/iris/retinal scanners would be a reasonable stop-gap here if only there was some way to deploy them cheaply. Does anyone know if such add-ons exist that might be made compatible with a 2FA system?
In projects where the node_modules folder starts to get out of hand, I set `"skipLibCheck": true,` in the compilerOptions of my tsconfig file (at least for dev builds).

In my understanding, it skips type-checking any d.ts files (which most packages include by now) which dramatically lowers compile time. In the authors case it looks like their project is about 400kb of their own code and then 30mb of node_modules libraries.

I think it also skips your own d.ts files (it isn't limited to node_modules), so this might just be a way to dramatically speed up your footgun. I have literally never written my own d.ts file though so it works for my purposes
Moniac
I think the cold, hard truth is that dev work is so far removed from the kind of work that our bodies and minds have evolved the capacity to do comfortably, that you are constantly in a state of disharmony with your self.

Without constant, active measures to counteract the damage from being at a screen 60 hours a week, your body will atrophy, you will get RSI's, and you will burnout.

It is deeply inhuman work, and the amount of adaptation required is insane. Personally, I am only doing this work for the money, and when I have enough saved, I am going to retire early and become a baker or something.
That seems like it must be taking water from whoever is downwind (but maybe that's the ocean).

You're arguing nonsense, the politifact article doesn't say the video's definition is wrong. It says the poster of the video "glosses over" the term 'generally' which they do. Your whole argument as to their thought process as to which second in the video they flagged (while ridiculous) is easily explained by this fact.

> To me, that’s a clear indication the definition is an important part of the reason for flagging.

The article is also titled 'No, the White House didn’t change the definition of “recession”' To me, that's a clear indication of what the most important (and valid) reason for flagging was.
Haha yes this has annoyed me since I was a kid!
I don't think the two are mutually exclusive
Edit: Nevermind, probability is hard.

Feels like the number of kids tested who had the gene is important as that would affect the numbers returned even for a random intervention.

Still think it can't be far from the expected rate, but no idea how to quantify it exactly.
For posterity, I found the quote I was thinking of from Stu:

"what we would quite often see is that people would write a Java app in Clojure, or people would write a Ruby on Rails app in Clojure. And not surprisingly, it would have weaknesses that you associate with idiomatic Java apps or idiomatic Ruby on Rails apps because that's, in fact, what they are."

I'm admittedly having a hard time figuring out practical attacks that could make use of this.

Screen content manipulation (eg a desktop)? Exceedingly unlikely to be the simplest strategy. Real-world manipulation? Not sure what could be achieved.

Hmm, information suggestion (displaying an onscreen message just outside the field of view, and changing it to something else when the user looks at that area of the screen) comes to mind, but that's not really up there either.

Thoughts?
This is incorrect, you are mistaken about public domain and about what the article says. The very first criteria in OSI’s definition of “Open Source” is:

1. Free Redistribution
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

“Rationale: By constraining the license to require free redistribution, we eliminate the temptation for licensors to throw away many long-term gains to make short-term gains. If we didn't do this, there would be lots of pressure for cooperators to defect.” https://opensource.org/osd-annotated

Public domain has no such restriction. Public domain always allows people to do literally anything they want, sell & redistribute the public domain code in any form they choose, make it proprietary, redistribute the code under any other license at all, and generally do anything they want for any reason including throwing away long-term gains for short-term gains.

> Children literally don't have the developed cognitive capabilities to critically think, nor should they be making their own decisions every time

[citation needed]

Also, since children don't have the cognitive abilities to critically think, maybe some responsibility should fall onto the parent? You can deflect blame all you want and call for TikTok to go around swinging their banhammer, but your "think of the children" alarmism is short sighted. It's impossible for TikTok to blanket ban an entire topic without causing major damage in the process.

I won't move into "mind reading" territory, but I suspect people who are so trigger happy to ban things online to "protect children" have a guilty conscience due to the lack of effort they put into their own child's development.

The internet boogeyman can only influence your child so much... Raise your kids, people!
Also the design is beautiful!!
That treemap looks neat. Knowing which dependencies pull in a lot of code is very useful.

What confuses me though is how much space these libraries take.

321kb for a router? 3.4mb for material ui? 1mb for jquery?
That’s not how that works. All imported type files are checked. Skip lib check skips checking types that aren’t imported.
