I have been really hoping that these myths would not be as prevalent today as they are. Personally, I've been greatly influenced by Feynman's great autobiography Surely you must be joking, Mr. Feynman! [1]. In it, the Noble-prize

I was hoping that this would be about computational geometry (and not, say, about the C shell or Powershell), and I am glad it indeed was. TL;DR: they are talking about approach to 3D geometry which avoids self-intersection by design, which

I guess "fight fire with fire" is great adage, so why not fight backdoors with backdoors. What can go wrong.

Oops. Noted! Apologies for inadvertently adding work! Somehow, I never realized that duplicate threads were merged (instead of one of them being nuked), because it seems like a lot of work in the first place. Thanks for doing it!

True, but the question is why they can keep getting away with that.

That is indeed necessary. But it seems to me that putting the interpreter in a place in the OS where it can cause a system crash with the be the behavior that it's allowed to do is a fundamental design choice that is not at all addre

Yup, made it when I was just learning about ADHD while figuring out how many traits are applicable to me. 100+ pages in, I figured it's time to get myself assessed [1]. Went through the assessment three times with different doctors jus

Not to mention, TOVA scores are pure blocks that don't even claim to correlate with ADHD traits.

From their own description, it has absolutely nothing to do with ADHD. As in: there's not even a claim it correlates with how strongly people experience ADHD symptoms.

I'm sorry, but have you looked at the TOVA API[1]? I have. Put simply, it's bullshit — and one that doesn't even purport to measure ADHD (which, indeed, is not something one could measure on a linear scale). It has nothing to

What "ADHD scores" are we talking about? There's no such thing as the "ADHD score".

There were way more than 10 people who read, commented on, and liked that Verge article. Both your assumptions (that we're an extreme minority, and that Roku thinks that way) seem to be only supported by the conclusion you make from

TL;DR: used EVs are "cheap" these days. As in, they're finally getting into a sub-$30K range. Meanwhile, I'm going to drive my 2010 Honda Fit (that I bought for $5K in 2017) practically forever. I'm making 6 figures

Which is why Roku decided to take away the option to disable it for people who understand and notice the effect and actively don't want it ? Pardon me, it makes zero sense at all.
