I am surprised so many cling to the idea that intelligence is highly genetic when we have demonstrated before that so many things can be done to completely nullify any genetic advantage. I am not saying there are no genetic contributions, b

Not the GP, but I'll comment about ADHD, since that is what I have relevantly read research about. For ADHD, it appears that therapy < medication < therapy + medication. When compared head-to-head, therapy is almost as useful as

I might have to give this a try one day. In my experience, therapy as a tool to improve one's life is overrated and not worth the money. But hey, that has been my experience over a long period of time with many different providers. Eve

I remember listening to a podcast where a psychiatrist was talking about something similar to what you are describing. Take something a person could desire like wanting to learn how to play the piano, for example. Often times, what people d

I skipped mine. Graduating college was not something that I was necessarily proud of. I wouldn't dare try to take that feeling away from someone else though. For me? College was just an obstacle -- a chore -- that was just a step in a

I grew up on spring water from a (small?) cavern system in my backyard. People can say what they want about fluoride, but I truly believe it makes quite the difference in dental health based on my experiences.

Why not use more oral exams? It'd be quite difficult for me to cheat on an algorithms examination if you and I were talking back and forth in real time. I understand time is probably a factor, but I still think such assessments could b

Actually, I was the last junior hired -- 8 years ago. Somehow, my org is able to find mid-level to senior people. However, we do not really have such titles since it's a very small shop. So, perhaps I am not the best at judging whom is

My job basically prefers the Contract-to-Hire pipeline. One is often hired on as a contractor, and if things work out by the time your contract is up, then you can stay. In a sense, we are doing something similar to AppSumo.

> you’re not bad. If only others thought as much. I honestly feel like treating ADHD is more for the benefit of people in my life than for me.

Ok, I see where you are coming from, and I agree. However, I would like to add that poorly implemented DDD can be just as awful.

I wish more textbooks, especially free resources like in the link, would be better about providing more solutions. A book with a lack of solutions tends to create a circular problem for me. Knowing whether my solution is correct or not is d

> (who were previously masking and "blending in" while secretly suffering) Do you mind helping me understand this more? How can one mask ADHD symptoms? I have ADHD, and I cannot conceptualize what masking would even look like.

> How do you identify when you are going through depression, and not a temporary down-trending mood for some situation? I'm not entirely convinced those are different states of mind. However, that is not really a satisfying answer.

The only use I ever get out Automator is basically just recording my actions, and then copying the actions into Script Editor in order to convert the actions to AppleScript. I wish Swift could replace AppleScript, but that is asking for too
