Not sure it's an ADHD(confirmed) thing myself or some mild form of the above(has been suggested to me)

I always found following some instructions hard, not because I disliked it but because I would genuinely misinterpret them, miss a word or get stuck at a point where a part of an instruction could be interpreted multiple ways, this was always awkward because then ruminate on if I should make a decision or ask for clarification.

Biggest one I noticed last year in a temp retail job is when people asked me "have you done X?". I'd hear "are you working on X?" or "will you do x?"

From the outside it didn't look great that I was apparently saying I finished X, when clearly X wasn't done yet or I was clearly in the middle of doing X.

From the outside it just looked like I was blatantly lying, and sometimes it was easier to lean into that. Than try to explain there might issue related to condition some people don't believe is real, and that it wasn't at all in my interest to disclose.

Once I made enough mistakes to know what was expected though I had no trouble.

Three monitors along a curve on a curved desk with a rotating office chair (or just one on wheels) is perfect. It might be OCD but I don’t like two monitors because there is a gap between screens in the middle. I can physically rotate to face one side monitor or the other. I am never tilting my head for more than an occasional glance and this setup provides sone kind of task repartition in space, which helps me with switching contexts.

From an ergonomic point of view this is no different than using a single monitor. They are at the right height and the right angle and with a good chair. The trick is to rotate the chair rather than your head. And it does take a bit of space.

I honestly feel bad in a detached way that people are "allowed" to ever get to this point. Its like those people born without pain/heat sensors (nociceptors?) who are technically painless/can tolerate any temperature but all that means is they never have a natural feedback loops that keeps them alive and thst they don't need to actively manage 24/7/365/80 if they even make it that far.

We need to be told and hear things that are painful and force us to reevaluate. In the ab$ence of that, its financially/personally/socially ruinous. Suicidal even, some might infer

People are both complaining about cost and then complaining that the RPi foundation subsidized the cost of the RPis in order to prevent a viable competitor from emerging.

Beaglebone Blacks have existed and been in stock through the entire RPi fiasco. They are almost completely documented unlike the RPis. The boards have full schematics unlike the RPis. You can buy the main SoC unlike the RPis. The boards have lots more IO and some really nice real-time units. You can get the documentation from TI without an NDA. And the BBB even has eMMC so that it isn't dependent upon horrifically crappy uSD cards. And it runs straight up Debian instead of some weird build. I can go on and on.

RPi has kicked the end users in the teeth over and over and over and people still won't change. People at my hackerspace are willing to spend a bunch of money on RPi to do Octoprint rather than buying a full blown x86 computer for half the total cost.

What the hell do the Beaglebone people have to do to get people to pay attention?

What's the Future of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Software?
With more and more tools using cert pinning as a best practice (eg - having and maintaining their own cert keystore) and more and more companies requiring DLP software for their vendors - how can this be managed without causing enormous pain for software developers?

As DLP software currently works to essentially man-in-the-middle attack secure traffic; any cert pinned tool will fail without figuring out a workaround.

Does anyone have any good ideas or solutions for this? Adding certs or disabling SSL seems to be an afterthought in many tools.

I'm having the same thoughts.

On one of my SaaS apps workers receive details on their shifts via email. If I allow them to one-click unsubscribe, I know there will be many who do so accidentally, with no idea how to resubscribe.

Currently they need to sign in and manage their contact methods in settings (email, SMS, etc). Thus they know how to re-enable it if they disable it.

I can see many support requests from managers saying "X worker isn't getting emails". Sigh.

I can assure you that you have encountered this type of person. I'm one. At least half the active members on this forum are introverts, married or otherwise. Between one-third and half of the general population is introverted, which means unless you have a very unique workplace a solid chunk of your coworkers are.

The problem with introverts is that we by definition don't stand out. When you notice us, it's because we're being uncharacteristically social, so you assume we're just like you. When we're in our comfort zone, you won't see us at all and so you once again won't have any evidence that there are actually people out there who prefer to be alone.

One key to discovering introverts is to not assume that "introverted" means "[not] smooth with people in all sorts of contexts". At work I participate more than most of my teammates, and I'm really good at understanding people and helping build consensus, but it takes a lot out of me. If you just knew me from work you might not realize it, but by the end of the day I don't want to spend any time with anyone other than my wife.
I'm pretty highly introverted and a father. Again for the most part individual interactions are not really tiring for me. This may affect some introverts more than others though.

Thank you for your kind reply. I appreciate it.

We all have crappy environmental records. :-) Last year flew to Scandinavia, drove 4000 km through Estonia, Finland, and Sweden in a 300,000 km old diesel Volkswagen van. Yeah, that was a skidmark on a white couch.

The right kind of volunteers can make a difference. It's more like we have to form a life cult where people do the research, do the planning, take the action to make change happen. For example, have rewilding yards to show the demonstration to your city Council to show what you mean and give them a proposed code change that's not threatening but has a right mix of carrots and sticks. Just watch the ADU conflicts on zoning changes, that tells you a lot about what you have to do.

On lighting, a small group of 10 people over the course of a year did all the right things politically and got a small city here in Massachusetts to convert over to proper nighttime lighting. Now they're working at replicating that success in other communities by training people how to find the decision-makers, to volunteer for the right committees to understand how to communicate without offending or triggering reflexive action.

I think what we need to do is replicate the success of crazy Republicans at building occult and political force. I don't know how to do that, it may be distasteful but there's no denying their success.

I feel like many of the points you raise are in large part "failures to communicate". As a friend says I'm great at process, I'm great at design but I have no skills in the political and we need people who are good at the political and work with the people who are good at design.

It's me as well. I mostly fit your description.

I would say, however: I actually love socializing and meeting new people, it's very fun and rewarding. People are awesome! It just so happens that I need to make an effort to go out in the first place, and I need some quality "me time" to recover afterwards. Therefore, I don't do it on most days. I don't shop around for those new opportunities. I invite guests/host at home only infrequently. And it's fine.

I work in a communication-heavy technical role. I'm good at moderating, mediating, coaching. I'm persuasive when I need to be, and I have a knack for adapting to the people I'm talking to. I enjoy the work. But it's definitely work, there's a significant energy expenditure involved.

Like you, I prefer to maintain fewer, deeper friend relationships as a result. Not having to be in touch is how I relax and unwind. I just don't scale to keep up with a large number of social obligations. There's so much other stuff to get done!

That said: I truly appreciate getting invited to things by the stubborn folks who try. I feel bad when I decline. Some time I will take you up on it, and I promise I'll have a fantastic time.

My partner of 9 years is a person I can hang out with for any length of time without strain or requiring recovery time afterwards, so that works smoothly.

A lot of rich people are of above average intelligence though and they're definitely "smart", particularly if they didn't just get their money entirely from their parents.

Stockton Rush was a rich CEO and clearly smart enough to found a company that could build submersibles.

He decided he knew better than everyone else in the world and built a submersible out of composites.

Turned him into a physics jelly sandwich over the wreck of the Titanic.

Being smart and rich doesn't mean that every idea you have is always right.

More or less the same thing applies to the chemists who thought they discovered a room temperature superconductor or Musk buying Twitter. They're all definitely smart, but they make mistakes just like everyone else. When all is at stake is money they often have enough money that they can make a lot of mistakes and lose a lot of money and people only remember the ones that succeeded.

And A lot of what separates smart rich people from smart not-rich people is that rich people can try 20 different stupid ideas before finding a good one, without going completely bankrupt.

I don't think your view and the article's are mutually exclusive. I think that one of the article's points is that a lot of non-autistic people will go along with a rule that is clearly nonsensical if an authority figure tells them to, break a rule if an authority figure tells them to, and even do whatever they want if they think that nobody is watching. But for the autistic person, the pre-existing rule is possibly much more important than the authority figure, which makes miscarriages of justice, as you mention, upsetting. The autistic person is perhaps more likely to question an act or rule made by an authority figure if that act or rule violates some more fundamental rule.
I think you're conflating "mandatory participation" with "defined benefits". You seem to want a system that prevents future-damaging choices by participants.

I think the other argument going on above is that "defined benefits" isn't actually possible without some escape mechanism (like tax collection) to provide the benefits when it turns out the fund didn't perform as well as hoped. When a private pension fund gets in trouble, its participants lose their safety. The others want a system that prevents future-damaging choices by fund operators, and see defined contributions as the only viable way to do this. You own a chunk of the fund and can transfer it to different stewards.
One of the benefits of building on Git is a lot of people have put a lot of time into make it work really well with lots of objects. And even though we say "files", Git abstracts that into packfiles etc very efficiently.

So, we're seening pretty good performance. We're maintaining a number of repositories with several millions features, with a decade of weekly updates of ~10,000+ rows. It _does_ take some time to push that data around, but it's _vastly_ better than old ways, and once you have your clone, maintaining updates becomes extremely trivial - a _major_ unsolved problem in the GIS/data world.

I'd add - Kart has GIS specific features that nullify some of these issues. The ability to spatially index the objects, then filtering them on Clone, means I rapidly clone a tiny subset of the data to work with.

In fact, I find it strange when Germans, for example, have a 'perfect British accent'. Even I would say it's perfect. Problem is, no one speaks like that... except the Germans.

That's a real struggle with any halfway-modern controller—there's so much to cram in that it's hard to make friendly to little hands. Even if you fit them on there, that's a lot of stretching.

The second challenge is that so many buttons and sticks and such confuse the hell out of kids that age.

The NES, with a real Nintendo NES (or NES Classic Edition) controller or credible knock-off, is probably the perfect place to start for very young kids. Only finger that needs to do anything on the left is the thumb, and it only needs to worry about a single D-Pad. Only finger on the right that needs to do anything is also the thumb, with just two action buttons to sort out (in almost all games—there are exceptions like Punch Out). Maybe some combos (hold-action-button-plus-direction-to-run in Mario) but they're minimal and rarely required to get started.

I remember being confused by and forgetting about all the extra buttons (those shoulder buttons!) on the SNES controller when I was just a little older than that, let alone any kind of modern controller.
