In an alternate, alternate timeline, carrier pigeons never went extinct and stayed as the height of asynchronous communication... pgsql (now termed PigeonSQL) is built on top of an elaborate system of carrier pigeons holding and moving smal

I would still say it's pretty shitty to assume that "SV culture" is the only thing that innovates, or innovates quickly, which is what you're implying. There are major impediments that are non-technical for those of us i

Reworking through "Linear Algebra Done Right", and reading through "The Joy of X".

I think that it's in the category of soft technical or pop-technical. Similar to something like "Thinking Fast, Thinking Slow," or "How not to be wrong," or even "Mythical Man Month." They're great

I wouldn't consider it too surprising; most document store type data was still most effectively backed by a structured column/row store system; and the major structured datastores implementing JSON support made it easier to use th

I think that the hype has slowed down around NoSQL, much in the same way as it happens around most technologies. There are still very solid use cases for Mongo/Couch/Dynamo/GraphQL/etc. it's just that the hype train

If it helps people, I'm glad; but to say that the people that it doesn't help "just don't get it" is pretty disingenuous. And since this was in response to my interest in correlation between the higher power and im

So sad that the mack daddy of removable storage in the late 90's isn't covered. Jaz disks were freaking boss for all of the 5 years they existed.

The problem with invoking that part of the solution that helps is the surrender to a higher power, is that there isn't a lot of group therapy solutions that don't have that involved. We can't effectively say for certain wheth

And a wacom tablet can be a cheap way to supplement writing, drawing, and diagramming if you don't have a touch screen type device. There are also capture cameras that I've had lecturers use and seen artists use that could be put

I really like the article you linked; I also found it interesting at the end of it: "It is absurd to use drugs for depression that increase the risk of suicide and homicide when we know that cognitive behavioural therapy can halve

Let's pick something else that isn't as broad as "depression." How about: - "I would love to finally see an article that has tips for a society on how to prevent ADHD..." - "I would love to finally s

Ehhhhhhh... And google swings... and it misses... There are two somewhat competing studies involved in what you linked. The original meta-analysis is stating that "[a]ll antidepressants were more efficacious than placebo in adults with

There's someone that commented in this thread about gluten oversaturation that provided some decent links. Unfortunately, there is no strong consensus that gluten intolerance does or does not exist, and the best most folks without Celi

It's the main reason why I will ask if they have dietary options for someone with Celiac instead of "gluten free." If they look at me weird, it's a good sign that their gf options aren't really gf, and that all I&#

Celiac does __not__ go away... ever. It is a genetic, auto-immune disorder, your body attacks the protein as it's being processed in your lower intestine, stripping and killing the cillia which is what causes the primary symptoms of i

I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2007, and even in the last 10 years there's been a huge expansion in the US of what's commercially available. But, I think the thing that has helped me the most is learning how to bake. Home made br

I do like this suggestion; another thought I had was just a small bounce of the circle around the area that it wants your attention at (which seems to happen towards the end of the animation).

by jlangemeier 7y ago
I think one of the biggest UX detractors that I saw with this (and the main reason I walked away from it instead of digging into how it may work) was that the circle "flew in" to the spot. While I understand what was being attemp

This is making some very kind assumptions about basic administrative staff. For people that work in our industry, a confidence/accuracy score is something that's usually well understood, and is generally treated as an assessment

This is a really interesting exploration of decorators and namespaces; but as someone who's never seen the utility in this type of function overloading, I'm trying to understand why; the how makes more than enough sense, but the w

I think you're over playing "quality." A great stew can be made from ribeye or from chuck; if I'm grilling I want the ribeye from my local butcher, if I'm making a stew I don't really care. If I'm making

You missed the initial point... preparatory thinking; it's not playing out during the conversations, but before; and for many of us, allows us to actually be in the moment with a discussion because we're prepared for standard bran

I think it's something that's a person by person fix; much like the 100's of methods of task management there could probably 100's of methods of task management for folks with ADHD. For me, I've been playing around

I suppose I should clarify some as well; 'traditional' mainstream meditation doesn't work well for me; I've spent up to an hour doing either box breathing or air flow focus breathing as attempts to clear my focus and qui

Yeah, they did a good job covering the social issue around it; as most people do most of what we do sometimes; and the key word is always 'sometimes,' ADHD is a daily occurrence of high tide and low tide marks for attention and ac

This isn't saying that __ALL__ procrastination is ADHD, and the other article didn't say that __ALL__ procrastination is emotional. This article is saying that this specific person's procrastination is linked to their ADHD -

For me, todo lists and prioritization systems are like mental health yo-yo dieting; I've tried them all, 4 times over and nothing ever sticks. This section spoke to me in the same way, as each time I a new system up (or an old one back
