> Every little mind-wandering and slip-up becomes the fault of the fetish that is “the ego”.

Ironically, you’ve here used “fetish” in a way that the article explicitly admonishes, opting instead for the vernacular definition. And I think that’s okay! Language is about communication, if when you say fetish I know what you mean, and when other people say dopamine I know what they mean, who cares what the diction police say?
Where did this image of “prestige” come from if everyone has the same stories: the place was dysfunctional and the tooling and processes were mediocre ?
In middle school, my first year out of Montessori, I was shocked at how little other kids cared about learning.

...

I kept tabs more or less my classmates that came out of the Montessori, and I think they overall overperformed the non Montessori people in middle school and high school. Harder to gauge adulthood success.

Isn't this just as likely to be a selection effect? The kids who go to Montessori schools are not selected from the population at random. But public school kids are.
Yup - I heard about this from a friend of mine. The offer seemed pretty good: lump sum 4 - 9 months base salary depending on tenure, extra for COBRA for 12 weeks, benefits through end of the year, etc.

CSS: Not understanding the behaviour of position:static?
https://codepen.io/pelko/pen/zYaEpqr

I'm learning responsive design. (Make width <500px and see)

I'm talking about this line:

.dropdown,
.subdropdown {

position: static;

width: 100vw;

}

https://imgur.com/a/US0klgu

This is the behaviour I'm getting with and without position:static. But I fail to understand why? All information that I've about position:static is that it doesn't accept Top,Bottom,Left,Right values.

My teacher say "it is floating without static...normal flow of document" but I don't get it.
Being angry at what is essentially a front line customer service rep will do absolutely nothing at all to end the dystopia and just make one human’s day worse.

If you’re not mad at the person who actually has the power to fix the problem then you’re wasting your breath. And to get out ahead of it, your anger doesn’t “go up the chain” either. Like all service workers, dealing with angry customers is a standard workplace hazard.
I wish people would stop doing crap like "you need to install our app to click this button and do the action you want to do" which I could totally do online but probably without providing that sweet install +1 and those sweet tracking data. So it happens more and more.
Don't count on that. Instead, preserve trees where you live and reduce your carbon footprint. What Lula does or does not do is beyond your control.

One good way of reducing your footprint is: no air travel, don't eat meat. Want to go on vacation to some distant place? fuck it. Do something else.

You adapt to the planet, not the other way around.

We are all for the environment until it is time to downscale our lifestyle.

Mainly because I was also put on anti-depressants, anti-psychotics etc and it was making me much worse (sometimes parents are idiots).

But there might be alternate approaches that allow for more freedom. For instance, what if Google assessed the risk level of each app and presented that to users, rather than blocking publishing entirely?

They could add all sorts of scary warnings in-between a user and a suspicious looking app, but eventually still allow both users & app developers to proceed if they have sufficiently high intent.

They could even monetize it by getting developers to pay per update if they want a "detailed assessment" which was able to result in a "very low risk" rating, if passed.

I'm not GP but I also stopped taking meds (actually recently for me, and I'm 27). I'm sure GP's reason is different. My reason was that I had realized that a lot of my old ADHD symptoms were actually still happening. I was still procrastinating, still getting stressed when forced to focus on stuff I don't care about, still forgetting stuff. As an experiment, I decided to keep lowering my dose to see what happens. I kept lowering it until 0 and basically nothing has changed. I still do great at my job, can study stuff I'm interested in, can function completely normally. Makes me wonder whether the effects had simply worn off after so long, or if it was placebo from the start.
That one is my favorite. At Amazon, "bias for action" is a knee-jerk managerial phrase that typically means, "I'm going to spew ambiguous/ignorant bullshit into the room and you do something meaningful with it."
I was diagnosed when I was six, and, like you, I dropped all meds at 17. Recently (as in, this year) through a combination of therapy and introspection, I realized that while indeed I was able to have a successful life, career, relationships without the medication, and that, yes, my coping mechanisms were satisfactory, I was

punching myself in the face for no reason

Last month I saw a psychiatrist and got a prescription for stimulant medication for the first time in 20 years. After a week I had to sit down and just cry: stuff which was difficult or stressful was just simple, and at the end of the day I have so much more energy to do things, to be present, to live my life. The medication is an aid, a crutch, sure, and I don't need it, but it makes my life better, easier, less stressful and less tiring.

Why are you punching yourself in the face for no reason?
I'm a former rider of a Onewheel XR. I stopped due to not wanting to end up in a hospital during covid.

The nose diving thing has been known in rider groups for awhile. It's always been a sporadic issue though.

Some caveats to One Wheels. Everyone mods these things. New tires, fenders, fangs, colored panels for protection, different back and front pads to stand on, and skid plates were pretty common on most One Wheels I saw. More extreme stuff like battery mods (one involved removing some of the battery protective plating to fit more battery in) isn't normal but it does exist.

Future Motion sorta shut down the repairability of the newer One Wheels from my understanding. How many of these could be prevented by replacing a shot battery pack, or swapping in a new front pad? Not all of them of course, but if you're relying on this thing to keep you upright, why make regular maintenance take shipping a 35 pound board in? I had to do a tire swap after about 800 miles, and I did 3 in my time owning the board.
This looks interesting...

It’s a bit mind blowing that anyone who met Sam Bankman-Fried didn’t quickly come to the conclusion that he was a drug-addled kid who thought he was smarter than everyone else. He basically comes across like that on camera and in interviews, so I can’t imagine what it’s like to meet him in person or over a direct video call. The information coming out that he was hopped up on amphetamines, Parkinson’s disease drugs (!), sleeping pills, and various other drugs basically 24/7 is alarming, and it’s crazy that no-one was sounding the bells on this alone, much less the fraud and trading boondoggles. It’s hilarious to think of all these powerful people speaking with a drug addict, much less as if he was a crypto messiah.

Maybe these organizations, the government, politicians, and corporations should be less focused on raising money at all costs. How many SBF, Madoff, Epstein, etc. do we need for these people to learn this?
> She helped me learn what I needed to know at home

Assuming this _wasn't_ the case when you were at Montessori - which goes against one of the core principles of "school is an extension of home". It's understandable, of course (you said it yourself, especially with the 'hands off' nature of that time), but kids generally thrive when education is a life thing, and not a 'school' thing.

> You think they would know that I wasn't learning anything

Teachers in any ecosystem can fail (intentional or not) with specific kids. Perhaps they knew, perhaps they didn't, but again, if school is an extension of home, as a parent it should be very, very easy to pick up on. It's not uncommon in any stream to have parents say "my kid isn't advancing like i thought" or "my kid is struggling with their reading, how are you helping?".

> I was painfully shy, and I'd avoid attention.

This is my son. These days we call the behaviour mostly being "an observer" because at the end of the day that's what he does if he's not engaged with himself, and I hate the term 'shy' as it's generally pretty negative (that's me, too, even as an adult).

Montessori school has been fantastic for him - he's really flourished and his development has well and truely exceeded my expectations (both academically and socially). Being 'shy' hasn't caused his teachers, or 'Montessori' as a framework to fail him this far.

Again - it could be any teacher, any student in any school that fails. I'm sorry your initial environment failed you and I'm happy you saw success elsewhere! My daughter is the polar opposite of my son in every way, and I'm very excited to see her start school.
My experience with Python is probably closer to nicoco's than wakeupcall's (usually pretty painless), but I tend to prefer the Java approach. Waiting three releases for removal gives you four years of support and seven years of security fixes. That isn't unreasonable but feels a little too fast in a language as old as Python (especially with people still burned from Python 3).
Looking forward to all the branded stoner milk, stoner butter, stoner yoghurts coming soon!
Good point, it's definitely not universal. Maybe it's more fair to think of it in terms of priority. I don't expect a smaller team to test on many versions, but the bigger the team and the more users they have, the more diligent they should be with their testing.

So in my opinion, in order, I'd test on:
- current Chrome
- current Safari
- older Safari
- older Chrome & current Firefox

Not sure what comes next, IE 11 maybe? I guess at some point it's good to look into automating some testing.

And it's worth noting, as with most things, that "it depends", I don't expect the same browser support from something like Figma and from a government website for example.
It will never cease to amaze me that Musk managed to convince so many seemingly intelligent people that he's some sort of a genius.

So, your rationale for joining a union is misinformation and propaganda might somehow work this time?

I have found the lowest energy way to shovel snow is to stand with a bit of a bow stance and push the shovel front to back as if you were paddling a boat, pushing down on the end of the handle at the end to launch the snow. Very easy on the back.

If heavier snow, sink into it a bit to transfer more energy.

Works well up to depth of the shovel head, so for deep snow, skim first, and repeat.

For wet snow, launch earlier, but sorry, it’s still hard work.

No, an autoregressive language model is conditioned on all prior states, not the previous one.
Agreed with you and responders here. I want to add, there's also change in life circumstances aspect to it.

Like, it's nice if you can use hyperfocus to do great things, that on the net outweigh the inability to handle "normal life" things like paying bills on time. Then you marry and start a family and at some point wake up realizing this new life is perfectly structured to prevent you from using the positive aspects of your brain, while exacerbating the negatives.

I've been thinking recently, how come all those blog posts and stories about success despite (or thanks to) ADHD come from people who are single?
This was illustrated in a business communications course when the instructor asked someone to place their hand up against his high-five style. When the instructor began to push the other person pushed back immediately without being asked, in order to stay in the same place.

David A. Hodges (1937-2022)
Dave Hodges died Sunday, November 13, 2022.

Dave was an Electrical Engineer, an Emeritus
Professor at UC Berkeley, and an Ex-Dean. Details are on LinkedIn.

More particularly, he was my friend from the days we shared a house in North Berkeley in the early 1960s. He was an Engineer’s Engineer and an exceptional person. Really nice, caring, and compassionate. I remember how he would take the time to transport a nearly 100 year-old aunt, dressed to the nines with her hair freshly done and dyed with blue Rit dye, from her old folks home to family/tribal gatherings, and returned her to home when she tired, even though the family
festivities continued. A small gesture, but one that brightened her life.

He is survived by his wife, Susie, the eldest and last of the Spongberg sisters and a troupe of friends and family. He fell badly in September of last year when visiting his beloved Lake Muskoke north of Toronto and never regained his full strength. Susie says she is “completely at sea with how to adjust to something I thought would never happen”. Me too
I was an L6 and my RSUs were worth sticking around for a year ago. Not so much today.
Apart from the kids piece (none yet), your experience matches mine to the T.

I've found that management has left me in a better place of balance. Less hyperfocus (on the occasions it can be useful), but also better able to do the long term day to day because things are a bit more dynamic. Not without many challenges, especially in a world with more remote work. The combination of Zoom and Slack is devastating for my attention. Though slack reminders keep me tied together in more ways than one, too.

Will say that I recently went for rediagnosis to see if meds can help. Low dose, short duration meds have been pretty great for me since. Don't feel the need to take them daily, but having it as an option to achieve a normal executive function is something I should have done a lot sooner.
>The true value of the FDIC play is to scam fools.

Not really. It's true that it doesn't protect you in the event that the event gets hacked or whatever, however it does protect you from the exchange deciding to store its funds in some shady offshore bank (I think Tether does this) that later suffers a liquidity crisis.
CPS closed the case, the DA didn't so the woman pled guilty to child endangerment and lost her job.

There's a bit more than "After two weeks, child services closed Wallace's case, finding the complaint was unfounded." if you actually read the article to the end.

That said I agree with you that Reason is a bit biased.
I dispute this: I do not think you need to understand the whole stack to know using what effectively is "god mode" access is bad practice.

Even if I pretend I don't know anything about AWS, if somebody handed me credentials with access called "FullAdminAccess" and told me to use them for my little script that only needs read-only access to S3 I would be extremely skeptical.

The reality is that the culture at Infosys seems to place zero value on security of customer data.
While meds can definitely help, one month in is way too early to know if the change is long-term positive. This is especially true with stimulant medications.
This fundamentally mis-represents the players involved.

Organizing might be a valid response but a labor union completely misses the root of the issue and would not serve a constructive purpose in this situation.

A trade organization would seem a more appropriate fit than a union.

Elon Musk gives Twitter employees an ultimatum: Stay or go by tomorrow
Yeah I went through something similar, but recently started trying meds again. Not to take every day hopefully, but only in periods where I feel especially affected and want to be more productive. I feel it’s the best of both worlds, but will see how it goes and if I stick with ‘em.

I think it’s good to experiment and figure out what works for you. I’m generally opposed to relying on drugs for things like this unless it’s really necessary, which is why I stopped taking meds for a while. But I’ve been having some real challenges recently with my focus & it’s been so frustrating. Hoping I’m able to find some sort of balance with it.

Guess my point is that it’s ok to let the meds help you too, and it doesn’t need to be problematic. I think I resisted going back on medication for a while because I was thinking “I don’t need anything, I can get by just fine with no help from meds!!” And while that may be true, it can still make my life significantly less frustrating to take the help sometimes.

You can do PRs from branches in the same repo on GitHub just fine if you want to. Having them in a separate repo makes more sense because 1) it doesn't require the dev submitting a PR to have anything above and beyond simple read access to the target repo, and 2) there's no concern that someone might depend on WIP branches created in those private forks, so they can be deleted or rebased at will.

The reason why it's called a "pull request" is because you're requesting the owner to pull your changes in; I don't see what this has to do with the number of repos in the picture.
Let's be clear: this says they're _pausing_ withdrawals. Could be forever or it could be like FDR's Bank Holiday to allow a calm amount of transactions to occur over time.

I'm not surprised you're being downvoted. Us lot in India think the occidental culture is inherently mono-cultural; even with all the DEI stuff, all that is being fostered is phenotypic diversity (the most useless type).

Classical India seems to have had better ways. In an introduction to Dharampal's works (who has written a lot of science in pre-Modern India), Claude Alvares notes how the Dutch, who had reduced the grass species to one or two in their land, had the temerity to advise India, where each backyard has(d) hundreds of species of plant.

Pity, everything in India too is rapidly devolving to Anglo-American monoculture now :( They (the elites, who are the ones that really count) barely even speak their own languages now.
Honestly I've been saying lots of bad things about him, but at least he dropped the facade and was a little honest, the thing he said about other exchanges and even traditional finance is true, a bank run on any exchange would cause the same result, do you think Coinbase just won't do fractional reserve? Of course they are... and people experience it at every single market fluctuation where withdrawals get paused for 6 hours at times, and of course traditional finance is even worse, they print trillions, lend them to the government who then gives it to Blackrock to buy company bonds, and Blackrock loves ESG, and even SBF knows that shit is a meme. Then we get to pay interests on that printed loan through taxes, but also through inflation...

It is fairly standard for homes in Hokkaido and some businesses heat the sidewalks of their storefronts. Manual clearing is also still very prevalent.

Some resident owners will opt to clear snow manually just to save money. I notice in the site you linked they did not mention cost of running it per hour. When snow starts in November and can occur as late as April, cost of daily running does add up.
It is totally possible. Generally on a One Wheel if it's a small pebble or sidewalk crack you roll over it. If it's bigger and you jump while going over it normally the board will hit the crack or whatever and bounce up into your feet. I was going down a hill near top speed on a one wheel when I saw part of the pavement was cut out, maybe a 2-3 inch groove. Did this, road through the intersection to the otherside and then sat on the curb until I stopped shaking. Probably the closest I've ever been to dying on a One Wheel.
