I've been diagnosed bipolar, but everything I know about my non-neurotypical character plus what I've observed in computer programmers who've been diagnosed with autism tells me that I'm autistic. Is it possible for auti

I'm trying to apply what I know to food and failing. Now is the first time I've tried dieting and I have a lot more respect for the degree of difficulty. You're right, the issue is very similar

Most "real [1]" alcoholics try over and over to stop like myself and Bill Wilson. The following story from the Big Book illustrates the problem [2] Yet he got drunk again. We asked him to tell us exactly how it happened. This is

I agree with everything in this article. Drinking alone is the best, particularly if you like to write while listening to music. The flights of fancy I used to go on! I wish I could still do it, but I found myself waiting for the liquor sto

Now that I've looked at it I think it might be what I'm looking for. It's fast, reactive and composable. There are some really good comments about Solidjs in this thread and some others backing up what I'm saying about t

I guess the tagline "Cybernetically enhanced web apps" is a joke I didn't get. The first sentence on Svelte.com is "Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces" alrighty then!

You're welcome but I'm sorry I'm not familiar with Solid.

I guess I fell for the hype. When I looked at it I thought, is that all? I think simple is better. It simple enough that writing my own component compiler is a nice project to work on. I already started. I found out today that it will be ea

Rich Harris has this "stick it to the man" attitude which I thoroughly enjoy. In his case "The Man" is React and Vue. He shows some back and forth between himself, Evan You and Dan Abramov in one of his videos. Evan You

I just remembered an Onion post from a long ago that speaks to what I'm saying. People can and should do something even if the depressed person says to go away and leave them alone. Nobody wants to be rude or be a bother, but sometimes

Yes, I've experienced that while locked up in the psyche ward. My brain just shut down. I would stare at the food at the end of my fork for what seemed like 10's of minutes. I didn't care. I knew I was in a safe place so I ju

I've been diagnosed both bp1 and bp2 by different doctors. You're right, I use it mostly for sleep. Being able to sleep has been a godsend.

I think you'll be alright because you are very aware of your condition. That's really how I am too. I'm always checking in with myself like that song in The Big Lebowski - "The condition of my condition is good." Th
