The biggest issue people with adhd have (me included) is focus. Methylphenidate helps a lot with that as its mechanism is proven.

It does however not change the "neurodivergent" thinking and processing. There still is a clear distinction from non-adhd ers - in all aspects of being, including communication.

Many issues that make these things a "malfunction" are due to todays system of work and society. Not judging anything, but simply pointing out the huge diff between that and e.g. hunter-gatherer societies where we lived in at least 100x longer - the genotypes of adhd & asd established themselves over that periods in humans, compared to "disease" like trisomy 21 the rates are much higher too - its not a disease but a neurotype and most research agrees today.

Humanity Profits from diversity in all forms, like all biological systems - it makes them more resilient (thats also used in ML btw).

Trying to cure such things by making them dissapear is sick by design and often results in eugenics theories.

I use this opportunity to say that "help" organizations like autism speaks that promote finding "cures" do a lot of harm - similar to conversion therapies for lgbtq people.

Autistics should self advocate as much as possible, thats also the safest organisations to support.

I must say that thats solely my opinion - many autistics also suffer a lot and would love to be healed - even if it means losing their personality, sufferings are real. I just dont think its realistic to implement such things until we understand tvmhe brain fully and could also e.g. change psychopaths, color blind people etc (not easy "fixes")

Thanks a lot for asking and reading this!

> Notice, that China's emissions started in 1980's when we've started offshoring our production there. Look at per capita graphs.

See the third image from the economist I linked to in the comment you're responding to. It's a common misunderstanding that the pollution reduction in the US is largely due to offshoring polluting activity, but it's not true. If it were, the gap between production vs consumption-based CO2 would be large.

> But look at global emissions to know who has contributed the most.

> https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2019/10/Cumulative-CO2-tr...

Keep in mind that humans have never created as CO2 emissions at as fast of a rate as in the past year and that no country has ever produced as much as the PRC has in the past year. Sharing graphs from 6 years ago, as you did, grossly distorts the situation we face in 2023. Furthermore the graph starts before the US or the PRC even existed!

While I can understand how it may satisfy curiosity to examine pollution that happened hundreds of years ago in various parts of the earth, it's utterly irrelevant to solving climate issues facing humanity in the present day.

Game engines spend a whole lot of work to not draw things. Even if you have an 8K monitor, that's still only around 33 million pixels. If the data set you want to visualize is 5 billion elements, and if you decided that you were going to use every single pixel on the screen, you'd still have to collapse those 5 billion elements in a visual space of less than %1 the size.

In a video game it's easy to figure out what not to show - just hide everything that would normally be too small or far away to see. But in a scientific domain, what to show and what to hide might be a much more interesting question.

On the other hand, if you're just looking for a plot of a few billion elements with the ability to zoom in and out, then a straightforward decimation of the data and drawing it to the screen can work. In the past I've written custom tools to do just that, but at this point in life I would probably throw it at something like SciChart and let it take care of that.
Romania was an unregulated market for the first years after broadband became available, as a result there was immense competition for customers leading to rock bottom prices for huge amounts of bandwidth, while in the rest of Europe the local telcos were up to their old games.

In Canada the situation was so bad you simply had zero choice as to which provider you would get, it was whoever supplied your cable connection, unless you wanted dial up.

Unbelievable that even today these companies are trying to gauge their customers and would deny them options to do this themselves. It's the bloody internet, not something they had a hand in creating.
Take care with the stuff. Thought it's safer than other sleeping tablets (and it is), but when they say don't use long term it's for a reason.

I agree, though "if" is kinda key. And the number of concurrent users in your household. It can be easy to accidentally saturate your uplink if you have multiple users in your family and you aren't coordinating. Or at least that's been my experience.
In other news, water is wet. This has been a time-honored practice (along with cost-plus) for decades.

In my experience, no.

I had an MBA, battery charging chip was damaged. The laptop ran fine on AC, the battery was intact and fine - it just could not get a charge delivered to it.

Took it to Apple Store. Thought what might be reasonable... $200, maybe $300, parts and labor.

Genius comes back out with a quote for $900, to repair the charging circuit on what was an $1,100 laptop. First words, "Maybe we can talk about getting you set up in a new Mac today."

Microsoft has had the sense to let Linux become the dominant OS on its cloud provider. Where it's the right tool for the job at hand, I suspect Nadella's Microsoft would be perfectly fine with being built on Linux.
Hearing stories like this makes me glad I bought mine through the MVG app (operator of subways, buses and trams in Munich). I ordered it on April 24th, and was briefly worried that it wouldn't work out until 1st of May, but no problem. Which is not to say everything worked without a hitch, they tried to also offer (on short notice) a "flexible" ticket which wouldn't start on the 1st of the month, but that was only available in their customer care centers, of which there are 2 (two) in the whole of Munich. And sure enough, enormous queues. I wonder who thought that would be a good idea...
Is a "stack" here a (root) folder on which you'd do a "terraform apply"? I've never know what to call those, surely they aren't "modules".

And, so, you're saying: try to have a separate deployment (stack then?) that contains the state, so you can wipe away everything else if you want to, without having to manage the state?
Doesn't really pass the smell test. I checked on hckrnews.com/, scroll to load posts that reached the front page from now to August 1, ctrl+f "twitter", ctrl+f "mastodon", 14 vs 2 matches.

I don't know if there's other domains besides mastodon that I may have missed in this quick test.
The optimal dose is 0.3mg, so I would cut the 1mg tablet in half to get close. You’re still doing better than most people who are essentially taking a horse-sized dose at 10mg.

The 10mg makes you feel bad because it’s still in your system the next day. At the recommended (lower) doses, your body fully clears it out by morning, so you feel alert and also have much lower risk of long term effects.
The article recommends to split up your state files for various advantages, but also expands into how to manage it later in a custom way.

I agree with the splitting, but based on many home-grown automation systems I've seen around this I'd really recommend you to use one of the specialized CI/CD systems that are built around automating these kinds of workflows. Once you reach the "many state files" phase, you'll save a lot of engineering time this way.

They'll take care of, among others, running the right state files, in the right order, with the right parameters. But they'll also take care of many other things you need to run Terraform at scale and with big amounts of engineers (happy to expand but don't want to kitchen-sink this comment).

Disclaimer: Take this with a sensible grain of salt, as I work at Spacelift[0] - one of the TACOS (and of course the one I'll shamelessly link and recommend!).

But really, don't use tools like Jenkins for this as you scale, it'll likely hurt you in the long run.

A better analogy may be how we have a right to take apart our electronic devices, but as soon as we do we void the warranty provided by sellers and/or manufacturers. INAL, I don't know if all warranties fall under contract law, but it makes sense to me that at least extended warranties do, and I imagine those are also voided in such cases.

Why? I have friends and people I socialize with, I don't have to socialize with my coworkers. I am friends with people I've met along the way, but with everyone else I keep a distance and remain professional. Why is it unhealthy to have boundaries around work relationships?

I don't understand that "rich". For one, it's actually pretty inexpensive within the range of things you can "spend" money on. For another, as observed elsewhere, the breathing people are no more slaving out than you are for your own employer or customers. This is a strange view of holding a job.
Alternatively, you can simply be the next rock to be turned over and moved away from. Nothing guarantees you are the one, nor the last partner.
Coding is the 21st century version of what literacy was in the 19th century.

Not everyone back then knew how to read and write, but enough people did to substantially change society. If you could read and write there was work that only you could do in the new economy. At the same time, being literate did not mean you were the new Shakespeare, you were probably using it for something mundane like sending letters on behalf of a business.

Likewise with coding. There will be loads of jobs that only a code literate person can do. It's also quite possible that you don't write any large or important piece of software, your whole life's work might be a bunch of python scripts that glue together other people's contributions.

Knowing how to code is also similar to literacy in another sense. The literate will be the first people to access new ideas. Want to read Das Kapital? Gotta know how to read. Want to know how an AI assistant works? Gotta know how to code.

"Looking over your shoulder" was just a figure of speech, not a literal description. And I suppose I could have grabbed the keyboard, but there's social niceties to navigate, everyone likes their keyboard & IDE set up different ways, and it's generally a PITA.

Also the way I tend to code is never linear in a way that anybody else could follow. I write something, edit it, throw it away, put it back, rename it, hack out something I _know_ is buggy so I can see how it looks, and basically "thrash" my way to a solution that I like. That makes it essentially impossible for anybody to follow in real time, and having them try to point out errors would be counterproductive. In the later stages someone could help polish it, but even then I think it'd mostly be a waste of time.

That's before we even get to things like dealing with interruptions, or answering other questions quickly. Ideally interruptions don't happen, but in practice they do, and I don't want to be wasting someone else's time.

There's a lot I liked about XP, but I still think that (for some people) it's just a great way to make two devs produce the output of one intern.
Yeah go play with an LWIR camera of you really want to understand the spectrum. For instance, everything becomes a mirror, you can see yourself standing in front of surfaces that have better than ~5um surface finish (quite rough sheet metal and such) and clouds appear hot-ish because while they are themselves quite cold, they're reflecting LWIR from the ground, hence why overcast nights are much warmer.

I once had the pleasure of traveling from Bern Switzerland to Milan though the Alps in a business car all to myself. Attempted to get some work done for about 5 minutes and stopped when I realised the views made it impossible. It's over 10 years ago but only cost around €90 one way. Also Milan train station is a work of art in its own right.
I updated my comment to acknowledge that. I don't use mastodon or know of all the domains. But at first glance, the assertion doesn't seem to hold. Nor did the poster provide any evidence to support their claim. As far as I can tell, twitter is still alive and well for now.
The wifi on the trains comes from the cellular network, too. If you experienced cell phone working better than the on board wifi, that was almost certainly some other issue, the performances are very correlated. The problem is not so much with the trains, it's just that cellphone coverage is just terrible in Germany generally, especially compared to Switzerland.
I think it was here, where I read that the optimal dosage for melatonin was 0.3 mg (300 micrograms).

The smallest OTC dosage you can get, is 1mg, and they sell 10mg pills.

When I switched from 10mg to 0.3mg, my sleep improved drastically. Also, I stopped getting those really weird dreams.

But I don't like taking stuff, and ended up stopping completely, a long time ago.
Thanks a lot for supporting the current state of art research on the field.

Imagine the horrors of not being taken seriously, people saying we need to be cured - i cannot not compare it to conversion therapies for lgbtq+. There are actually institutions promoting this, called ABA therapies.

We need people like you to thrive as part of this society, thanks a lot! :D
This is really not true - a poor implementation shouldn't dictate the direction of the "remote development" space. Sure, IT and security have their requirements, but primary requirement is to make the developers happy and provide them with reproducible dev environments.

I used to work at Uber and what we ended up doing with devpod (https://www.uber.com/blog/devpod-improving-developer-product...) was to enable the popular IDEs to connect to these remote environments - all the dotfiles etc etc were persisted so it literally felt like the local IDE, just way faster. Admittedly, it costs a bunch of money to build internally, but there's a path to having people be happy with dev environments.

(we collected data on what IDEs to prioritize based on surveys)
Fine - so make them third party contractors instead of employees of the same company.

The end result is the same.

Except if you pissed off the communist party, then none of that for you and your children.

No way around the state-given requirements - want to work with computers and don't have a diploma for that? Well that's not possible - here's your shovel and get digging already, the state needs you! Want to move to another city and change careers? Well you're going to need good friends at important positions, and gift them dearly (and not just once to get what you want - you needed to build the relationship for a long time before that).

My grandfather was beating his children (my father and uncle) because if a child did or said the wrong thing at the wrong time, it was over for the whole family, and he felt like that's the only way to get the children to truly understand it. And even in 2013 - 25 years after the revolution - he was still afraid of the communist secret police.

My father was hit by a car when he was 12 and had a very seriously broken leg. My grandfather was taking care of him by himself, because the state's idea of taking care was locking him in a dark room with bars on the windows and using a medieval-like machine to stretch the leg, without any painkillers.

My grandfather took him to Yugoslavia to swim in the sea and that actually helped and saved his leg. However since it took months, the communist party decided to label him a parasite - punishable by prison. The local communist party cell voted about it and it didn't go through by one vote... that my grandfather got thanks to a bribe.

It was "good" for the people who fell in line - as in, they didn't have any special circumstances. Anything out of the ordinary and your life was way worse.

> The wife was absolutely disgusted towards communism. Mind you, this couple lived in a pretty luxurious two story house. She associated communism with lack.

Women had to use newspaper instead of menstrual pads. There was only very few styles of clothing/shoes available for women, while men had much more choice. Women didn't get the opportunities to be educated and work like men did, because it was expected they will stay at home and take care of children. It was a system made by men, for men. It's not surprising that a woman hated it.
It's 3860chf in Switzerland, valid for any public transport, even boats.
However, they are talking raising the price once again, and Switzerland is not interested in making this cheaper.
your also forgetting that it gives publishers some reassurance that their books are not going to be easily pirated, which gives them confidence to actually make digital versions of their catalogue. As with most things involving humans, there is a political angle
I look in envy at what Rich has achieved. I think we all have ideas of how we would like a language to be, but actually sitting down and doing it to Rich's extent is something else.

As a schemer there are so many small things I would like to change that put me off using it for my personal projects, but regardless I have really enjoyed contributing to other people's Clojure projects. It is not far away from what I would consider a good starting position for my own perfect language.

Personal anecdote: In order to find interesting books for my children, I tried everything online but to no avail. In the end, the solution that worked best was to get recommendations from the local bookstore owner. It goes without saying that she is an excellent bookseller. But all it took was telling her, my son likes such and such book series for her to say: in that case, I think he will like this series. As a result, he read three books in three weeks. Ten more to go.
It's not exactly about the folder, the IaC from a single folder / project can be instantiated in multiple places. Each time you do that, it has a unique state file, so I usually hear it referred to as a "state". In cfn you can similarly deploy the same thing lots of times and each instantiation is called a "stack", so stack/state tend to get used inter-changeably.

And yes, that's a succinct rephrasing.

When you first use iac it maybe seems logical to put your db and app server in the same "thing" (stack or state file) but now that thing is "pet like" and you have to take care of it forever. You can't safely have a "destroy" action in your pipeline as a last resort.

If you put the stateful stuff in a separate stack you can freely modify the things in the stateless one with much less worry.
Public transport in Germany is losing money anyway. Even before the 49 Euro-Ticket, when people were paying multiple times that amount, public transport was usually receiving subsidies.
Never take Tylenol PM to sleep, unless you also have a reason to need a painkiller (acetaminophen). Acetaminophen is toxic to the liver and can cause liver failure if overdosed. A regular diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is the just the PM part without the extra risk (except that has its own risks).
