Being aware of ADHD is unequivocally a good thing, because it gives you the vocabulary to talk about what you are experiencing. It helps you find workaround & tools for your issues. You might even be able to treat it. (given you work

Here's the thing: You function in your environment, and you need your environment to function. And currently, some element of capitalism is required to build large-scale undertakings - if for no other reason than that the people you wo

Severance is entirely at will as well, unless you have a contractual guarantee. Logic remains.

Hey, it's an at-will employment place, that goes both ways. If your company would like that to be different, they have the option to offer you a contract that stipulates notice periods for either side. (And that means you are guarantee

"I noticed often in couples" Whenever you appeal to anecdata, you might want to pause a moment and check for actual data. Turns out that no, wealth alignment is likely one of the largest factors for finding a partner[1] and the nu

Nobody is censoring you, you are free to build your own model.

I suggest doing some math. Just back of the napkin.

Inelastic supply is a well-known phenomenon. The usual reasons are "it's hard to add supply" or "suppliers are working at full capacity" The medical field has both. Suppliers are working at capacity - there's a

Note that it's California & Oregon - and 163MW is 0.5% of CA's power generation, so probably around 0.3% across both states. Enough to give up on when it doesn't make commercial sense and destroys an ecosystem, the number

We really don't need the energy - contributions from Klamath dams have been somewhat minuscule, at 163MW. As for "serious effort protecting wildlife with good outcomes", it's worth keeping in mind that the dams are direc

If you're dead-set on being somebody nobody wants to work with, sure, keep ignoring that people have feelings. It won't work particularly well for you in the long run, but you do you.

I'm not going to praise an outcome that's clearly suboptimal, but "that's interesting" still beats beating them over the head with "well, I'm always scrupulously honest, I don't care about anybody&#x2

This was neither the point of the PP, nor is the OP "materialistic" in nature. (Did you mean secular?) Both are questioning how you should invest your time, and what really matters in your life. Yes, sure, PP is anchored in religi

> they don't require a biopsy; you're still free to not get the biopsy after the mri Have you ever talked through a scan with an oncologist? Or are you just reasoning in the abstract because you feel you can first-principle it?

Duplication is neither "cheaper than the wrong abstraction" nor is it "one of the most dangerous mistakes in coding". There's a cost to abstraction. There's a cost to duplication. Our job, as engineer, is to st

I think that long term, preventative scans do make sense. With that preface, I don't think we should just argue there are no problems, and it's all easily solvable. "Too many false positives leading to wasted time and costs?

Maybe. I can't read OPs mind, and it's a common enough trope throughout the industry that I figured adding some evidence could be useful.

We, as an industry, didn't stop shipping bugs. (Small example: https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/releases ) And that thorough code review prevents bugs is, at best, a debatable assertion. See e.g. https

I am not "gatekeeping", I'm telling you that in spaces you don't know there's hidden complexity, and you shouldn't rely on the Internet. No amount of "awareness" is taking that away. Also, please tell

Not without some solid companions that bludgeon transcendetalism. For contemporaries, probably Poe. (On New England Transcendentalism, specifically). Melville and Hawthorne make good reads as well. Emerson, like so many self-help books, off
