Unfortunately, it will get really grim and bad that even if literal extinction is improbably (humanity seems to have already bounced from less than 10k people) it seems to be bad enough to warrant this hyperbole. Like, if most of the tropic

To me, the core of my ADHD experience is, that for better or worse, I need the journey to the result be somehow compelling. Meds somewhat help, but steps that are not compelling or absolutely necessary are really hard to pull myself throu

Idk, I bought my kid e-ink smartphone. Black and white screen. 10 fps if you don't mind ghosting. No play-store. She manages. If she wants to play games we have switch and pc and if she wants to watch whatever, we have google-tv stick.

Find smaller communities where this is less of a problem? Possibly filled with neurodivergent people you click with? Like, there is a reason Discord I am most active in is full of people that have ADHD. And big chunk on spectrum. And big ch

Yeah, that is why currently, we are mostly a minecraft house. It seems the meme-mods are not as common.

I think Roblox can be bad in a "badly moderated online space" and "potentially abusive monetization/exploitative sharing structure" - the game itself feels good?

Well, for me it isn't? I don't do project work, I am a maintainer at heart. If I am doing my job well, anybody who I think of as my customer will be happy if they need to interact with me as little as possible, because my well

Agile is a very wide umbrella and most often what people are complaining about is when they join a team that is using SCRUM in a rigid way without actually thinking about the process and how better tailor it to the team. If you look at all

This is how most hacker spaces and fab-labs and even community gardens I know operate. Rule 0: "Behave in a way that lets us not need to make additional rules" and things like that. And I can doubly see it, if you have something ~

This sounds like standard reaction to ADHD medication for someone that has ADHD, and usually point where you fiddle with the dose and release-mechanism with your psych, untill you get best results with fewest drawbacks, modulo pareto effici

Haha, this, but ADHD diagnosis and then my doctor got me Concerta - not as big of a boost, but no longer crashing in the afternoon :)

How is the Android experience stacking up? I might actually be in a market for something like this, as I recently cracked my old Boox ... but as I did use few e-ink devices, there was often problem with running Google Play. I do understand

I usually need a project. Currently, probably trying to run a LLM locally is easiest to do in CLI, so just try that. Alternatively, buy yourself a server, like 5$/month single core, ther eare budget friendly options, Linode is one. Onc

Why would I care about my manager not being in the office? We probably don't share a continent anyway. On the other hand, sometimes it is culture. I had manager that had 100+ direct reports. He never had 1x1 and barely managed to get a

I am vaguely quoting open-source advocates. It is in the actual license of those assets - you gain access to their sources and you are allowed to share them under Creative Commons license. You could think of it as a next step beyond DRM-fre

i.d.k. 11$/month sounds ... reasonable? And nothing prevents you to buy a hard-drive, download it all, and sit on that stash, unsubcribe and learn from that. If subscription ever becomes necessary to run Blender, I am picking up my p

by a-saleh 3y ago
If you look at the assets ... it seems all of it still is CC-BY licenced, even if you need a subscription to download them. So free as in speech, not as in beer, I guess?

I always thought you can't have dog-fox hybrids as they have different number of chromosomes?

by a-saleh 3y ago
Yeah, I get that. But it does sometimes genuinely help. Sometimes it is mostly a trick to get me started (ok, I need to do this only for $n minutes, I could do that) and then I ignore the pause, because the clock is not the boss of me and

While you might not be depressed, or might not have ADHD, looking for tips of people that have low executive function can help. Ok, I am not actually sure about the definition, but by low executive function I mean that state of being, where

I have thinkpad, and fortunately they still make esc big enough, so that I was not compelled to rebind. It is more like ... when I am writing I like to stay in insert mode as long as possible - and this is where I would put the 80% of the t

T.b.h. I mostly use vim with keyboard movement in insert mode enabled, so ... 80% time I don't really use modes.

The article calls out event-sourcing and materialized views as a solution. I reread the article twice now, and I don't see a conflicting definition, that would contradict i.e. append-only-log being immutable. Unless your argument is th

by a-saleh 3y ago
Append-only log-based data-stores are close enough in my book. And conceptually, you can then push all of those "what if I am missing events, or tey are in wrong order" into the fold over the data. Because real world is mutable da

by a-saleh 3y ago
T.b.h. when looking at things, global mutable state might not be bad, if it is principled? I.e. I did like how Clojure had it's atomically updating refs. And you realisticaly won't get more principled than with traditional RDBS, w

No. But I took an approach with my kid's smartphone that might interest you. Bought her one of those e-ink hisense phones. Getting apps only through fdroid and apk-mirror is annoying, but bit seems to struck a balance between keeping h

To me the answer is obvious if you are someone who stands in the middle. Maybe you are queer. Maybe you are mixed ethnicities. Migrant. Expat. 3rd-culture kid. If you live in a shapist world, you need to either be lucky enough that there is
