You keep saying this throughout the thread. These are fundamentally different, as someone with both conditions and both prescriptions.

There is no side-effect to glasses, you can put them on or off completely at-will any moment, and they make a very exact correction to one specific parameter (vision focusing ability).

ADHD meds are imprecise and affect many systems in different ways - some positive and some negative. You can only have them on/off daily. It might affect you differently depending on other factors. And treatment is not without risk.

It’s hard to understand how stopping will affect you due to the imprecision. It’s not as black-and-white as glasses.
There's no hard divide between the two. It's a continuum.
I think this type of analysis is what a lot of EA is, oddly, missing. I also think the level of uncertainty necessarily associated with EA-style consequentialism necessitates a sort of pragmatic deontology.
It is most likely true. If you take away all constraints related to planning, communication, prioritization, collaboration, development efficiency etc, most of the arguments against monoliths goes away. What remains are considerations for memory, bandwidth and similar that could motivate a breakdown.
I wonder if we are far too quick to bestow CEOs with credit for something other people effected. Sure the CEO is the one to sign off on everything, but the question to ask is could any other person in the CEO role at that time, have done any different? I don't know the details in this particular case, but I'll go out on a limb and say the CEO quite likely did not proclaim "make this happen". Business was growing at an unbelievable pace, their systems were probably stressed to the max, their development was likely choked and the technical team comes up and says this is what we need to do otherwise we can't handle more than this much traffic. What choice does the CEO have? He says, send me your proposal and broadcasts it.

As for AWS, as far as I remember, Bezos was initially against the idea. The idea was the brainchild of one Andy Jassy who along with Rick Salzell convinced a reluctant board into trying this out. They realized that they had been unintentionally building this cloud platform for some years now in order to provide sellers with computing resources. Opening up to public users was just a small sales move. Whether they do it or not, they were going to continue to invest in their cloud platform and nothing would change as far as their technical direction was concerned, so the board finally relented.

If I were you, I'd use Node/express with server side rendered templates. It's pretty straightforward for a simple project that needs a backend.
I probably gave that impression by describing it in such dramatic terms. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I don't like being touched much in general by anyone, and who I'm attracted to isn't part of that.
I have deep respect for you guys. I'm currently in backend engineering and weighing a platform engineering offer. My job is all over the place, and my values align way more with the typical platform engineering culture, so I will probably make the switch.

No, what I said is that it was a minority language, even before the dictatorship that so few people spoke in comparison to spanish even in that area that there were things you could not even express in that language anymore.

You can believe it or not. That is not to say that it is not the local language of that area. But they make it look like it was the only, true one, when this has not been the case for centuries. The same valencian was the original in my area. But it was mixed with castilian (what you know as spanish is castilian) for centuries.

What happens nowadays is that they force and do not let people study in spanish in some areas. Spanish have the right to study in the language that they deem appropriate from the official ones in their area. And so that you see I am not inventing anything, because people will jump to me it is not true. It is in fact true that for years there have been people who cannot study in spanish at school in the public system, a few days ago we even had in Mallorca a resolution from judges that denied the right for a student to study in spanish!

Here, catalans denying 25% of teaching in spanish ignoring even court resolutions: https://elpais.com/espana/catalunya/2022-05-31/la-generalita...

My first gf when I was young had to come to my area because she was denied the right to study in spanish in public school. This is not a joke, it happens all the time for years. My area was still reasonable at that time (you could choose both) but it is happening the same again.

Here a student that cannot (has not the right, according to judges) study in spanish, when it is a guaranteed right. This shows the politization of the court system, bc it does not exist in the law, no matter their twisted argument, a denial of the right for a person to study in an official language in that community (county equivalent), yet it is happening: https://www.elmundo.es/baleares/2022/11/14/6372645121efa0721...

Here basques trying to kick out spanish from the education system: https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/espana/2022/09/18/gobi...

This is a topic where they typically say (the nationalists) that since spanish is everywhere they should be able to deny the right to study in spanish, bc they will learn it anyway. I am all for letting people to study in basque, catalan , valencian (which I can speak also) or what they choose.

I am, at the same time, totally against the public system forcing you to choose one of the languages they decide, more when this has been in fact illegal. So here you have a case where the minority takes the institutions and try to force everyone to do what they say. I am not a big fan of these policies in any direction.

This is continuosly used with political goals.

How exactly do a couple funny looks from strangers prevent you from enjoying being straight? If you were gay would you get mad at people for assuming you're straight? You can't control what people think of you, so it's hardly sensible to base your enjoyment of life on their opinions.
I feel pretty frustrated when I hear it labeled as a "mental health problem." For me it sounds like fear maybe stemming from a past experience where he may have been quite vulnerable and got really hurt and wants to avoid feeling so hurt again. And in that framing, I think most of us experience this in different realms of life. I think why I have such strong reactions to "mental health problem" is that I get the impression it says "there's something wrong with you" and may make the person feel more alienated, instead of showing them I too may experience something similar.

The graveyards filled with former hobbies that many with ADHD can attest to tell a different story. One where perseverance through frustration is not only relevant to one’s career, but possibly also one’s happiness.

Sure, acceptance of the limited arc of concentration and limited frustration tolerance is essential. But that doesn’t preclude people being happier when they become able to actually stick to things for a while when they want to.

Me and other contributors are writing and maintaining "Web app from scratch" scripts for popular frameworks here:

https://github.com/no-gravity/web_app_from_scratch

The idea is to have a self-explanatory shell script for each framework, which turns a fresh Debian installation into a running web application with routing, templates and user accounts.

So far, we have Django, Flask, Laravel and Symfony. In various stages.

If you look into the scripts, you see that they are pretty much tutorials in code form. Reading one of them shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. After that, you know exactly what your web app does.

>people own a car before replacing it, about eight years, dwarfs the length of time before a phone upgrade, about three and a half years. But with some care, the life of a good phone can be stretched to six years.

I'm on a 2 year plan and that feels like I'm really pushing it. Already I'm bumping up to limits with the phones 6GB stipend of system memory a year in. My prior phone is 2 years old (though it's release date is older) and now it's become frustrating to use as I once did. Whether that's app and system updates, I don't know for sure, but my daily usage remains the same. I will certainly get at least 3 years out of these phones but slowly their use cases will narrow, my prior phone is primally a Chromecast controller and ReadEra machine already. I would love for a device to be pleasantly useable for 6 years but I just don't see how it's feasible.
I think that’s an honorable goal. I like the swimming pool analogy. Some people and cultures are just so much more guarded when it comes to addressing their feelings with others. Even basic-level friend feelings of appreciation, compersion, and annoyance that are present in most all friend relationships. As a result connections can only go so deep and peoples’ friendships can feel empty and unfulfilling. The best part of having friends should be that you can be who you are sand say what you mean, but I see many people in my life for whom this is seemingly not possible. I called out the straights in my original post but it really crosses sexuality and gender, as you note!

> With solar and wind being so competitive on price (both per MW and MWh) I don't understand why there's not more of it.

You need to be a bit more patient. solar / wind have been growing double digit percentages (from the top of my head something like 20-30%) p.a. now for some time. Just to compare, iPhone had never two consecutive full production years that would have had triple digit growth. And arguably increasing production capacity for energy infrastructure is more difficult than for a phone. So the 20-30% p.a. growth is likely the best we can have, and I'd argue even that is explosive. Given current growth rates, majority of electricity production should be solar/wind within the next decade or so.
Yes and I raised the same concern when GitHub Copilot was released. If our code contains so little entropy that an AI can reliably predict the next sequence of tokens then that is evidence we are operating at too low a level of abstraction. Such tools can certainly be helpful in working with today's popular languages, but what would a future language that allows for abstracting away all that boilerplate look like?

Since this is HN I'm sure someone will say that the answer is Lisp. But can we do better?

Nonsense; they are good for many thousands of cycles which generally translates into many years of continuous use. Mostly batteries degrade on a very predictable scale as well and very gradually.

All of this is well known and anticipated by companies that deploy batteries in ferries, and other short range boats. It's just economics. You have energy savings and a battery that is good for a given number of cycles and engine hours. Either that adds up or it doesn't. Basically, it will be years before you need to service them and you can just use math to calculate whether that's economic or not.

Apparently it does. That's why the use of batteries in short range nautical applications is booming. You have some range constraints but anyone operating within those constraints is looking at switching over already. Battery longevity is not the concern here generally.
The problem is essentially the following: in a know-all situation (prototype, reduced domain, startup,..) situation it is easy to ditch the 90%. No sync needed, no docs needed, no tests needed, ...

Once you scale up to large systems (ignore complexity) with hundreds of developers then you do and can not know it all. At that moment the churn starts.

And unfortunately, once you get big, regulators, lawyers, audits and other things become a drama as well.
I'm a pretty affectionate (straight) dude, but I also came from a pretty affectionate family (German culture, parents were U.S. immigrants), and in particular between my father and I (I kiss him on the cheek goodbye for example). I hug everyone hello and goodbye, it feels nice. There's no fear of gayness, heck I have a couple gay friends I hug but they know my orientation so it's fine lol.

Looking at these photos, it does seem more close than I'd be comfortable with, especially the intertwined-leg photos, that seems a step beyond "mere" hand-holding lol. Or maybe it's not? Eye of the beholder I guess!

> when being gay was literally a criminal offense straight guys didn’t have to worry about holding hands

He's making an observation. Have you been to Turkey at around the same and have a different experience?
You are completely misreading what the person said.

Holding hands between people of the same gender is now seen as a sign of a gay relationship (aka: couples holding friends). Therefore holding hands is no longer the sign of just friendship.

This is especially true in countries like Turkey where being gay is not really accepted.

Whenever I need to interact with anything Google as a dev, I end up more frustrated than solving the problems.

Whether it is Play Console where I can't find anything I need, their cryptic maps APIs, or virtually everything else. It's a big, big, mess.
Renewables are limited in some areas by hostile legislation and in other areas by reaching saturation for non-dispatchable energy.

There's also a paradoxical cost risk created by such rapid improvements because faster deployment and plummeting prices can mean projects started after yours could finish sooner and cheaper.

In spite of this, PV is selling out as fast as it can be made, wind is being built as fast as it can be permitted, and demand is so high that prices decreases have slowed in spite of manufactuing continuing to get more efficient.

Batteries are a bit of a bottleneck (flow batteries are lagging a bit, but getting there), but sodium ion is here next year and lithium capacity is increasing at record pace.

Policy is kinda lacking in most areas for building out the necessary non-battery storage, but off river and blue field pumped hydro is picking up, and china is advancing the state of the art on concentrating solar (which is dispatchable over ~12-36 hours) and compressed air storage. Europe is also starting to build out thermal storage (which is dirt cheap in the most literal sense because it's made out of the sand that is worthless for other purposes).
That would be cool. One I issue I could see coming up is that automerge and yjs keep everything in memory (the reason why a DB CRDT is preferable in the first place), so I'm wondering how you'd make use of their APIs without doing a bunch of (de)serialization.

I was told that it wasn't always this bad in the US either. A few decades ago, people were warmer and they socialized more. It looks like in the past few decades, social alienation and fear have set into the American society and started making people ever more distant from each other. Likely because of the stress and angst caused by economic insecurity, consumerism, the ensuing social and political conflicts etc etc.

The part about remote work removing a driving force for friendships hit me pretty hard. In February of 2020, I had a dozen or so really close friends that I would see every day. We would laugh together, get food together, and work on hard problems together.

In March of 2020, we all started working remotely and I haven't seen any of them since. Even if I wanted to, almost all of them have moved to other cities, states, or countries. Most left the company we were at (including me). We have a Discord server where we all still talk and chat, but it's a cheap imitation of what we used to have.

Now, I work with a team of people who are completely scattered geographically. Maybe once every few months I will see one of them in person if they happen to be in the area. They feel like strictly co-workers- I don't think we've ever really laughed or just goofed around that much, and certainly aren't hanging out outside of work hours. I wouldn't be able to call one of them up in a time of crisis and ask for help.

I miss my friends, and the simple solution would be "go find new ones!" but, like this essay points out, that's not exactly easy and there's a "blind spot" about how hard it can be. There's also still a pandemic going on- I haven't caught COVID-19 yet and don't plan on it. Any sort of friendship that would involve physically being near other people on a regular basis is just asking for it. To me, getting sick is not worth having a friend, even though it is wrecking my mental health. I know that equation is different for other people.
It sounded like you were dismissing ADHD entirely.
People focus on coverage but I think that has diminishing returns. There is a lot of 'art' to building clean reusable code which you can't easily standardize but what you can do is pay attention to things like:

* Build times
* Testing times
* Test Flakiness
* High quality fast unit and integration tests
* High quality fakes
* Fast, high fidelity non-prod environments
* Time from commit to production, number of cherry picks/rollbacks
* Good Coverage, but focus where it matters.

If any of these go out of whack it needs to be a P0-P1 to fix because it really is debt that grows to become unmanageable (not to mention repelling to the best people).

In most companies, even big tech, this is difficult because non-coders set priorities and allocate the resources. Even once-upon-a-time engineers who make it up the org chart find themselves preoccupied with other things and invariably sacrifice these things for features, compliance, conformity, toolchain complexity/sophistication, security, outage/incident scar tissue, etc.

(And maybe rightly so as there are few successful businesses that manage this consistently)
There are very few locations where renewables have high enough penetration for dispatchability to be the slightest concern for new additions.

In locations with lots of renewables already, new projects are including storage, cost-effectively, which turns non-disparchable power into dispatchable.

I think it's pretty clear that $58/MWh was never going to be achieved, and as with most nuclear projects, reality is 1.5x-3x of what the boosters promise. But even $58/MWh is not cheap enough to match the bids seen for dispatchable renewables+storage.
You’re right I was being harsh, but I wanted to really make a strong point that the above commenter was not describing innate qualities of manhood.
Maybe try decommissioning some of the old reactors that are beyond their safe lifetime and use the steel from them. Much of that steel cannot be used for conventional projects because it poses a radiation hazard. That should devalue it.
