Not all the medications are amphetamines. The most popular medication, Ritalin, is not an amphetamine. Even the ADHD prescribed amphetamine medication is dextroamphetamine, not the scary methamphetamine. There are also several medications t

Don't be too broad, hiring managers won't know what to do with you. I have too many differing specialisations and interviews start with "what would you say you actually do?" People want to know which box you fit into.

I never wrote part 2 of this blog post, but there's a $300 open source hearing aid that can do way more than most hearing aids: https://shapr.github.io/posts/2019-08-03-tympan.html Here's the organization bui

I have a friend who is the perfect candidate for a cochlear implant, but refuses to have closed source inside his head. He does not wish to have his body hostage to any company, and I can understand that.

I think cost is a large factor because retirees have fixed income. If insurance pays for a two thousand dollar hearing aid that lasts three years, you get it. If insurance doesn't pay, you become socially isolated. Do you know of other

While writing this blog post I've discovered that way more people have hearing problems than actually buy hearing aids. The largest part is the expense, but another part is the stigma. No one wants to wear a hearing aid if they're

Haskell + Spock + Postgres, turns out I'm more productive there than with Python/Flask/postgres, even though I have far more experience in Python.

My favorite description of monads is "decorators for function composition". You write a chunk of code to compose functions in one place. That turns out to be extremely useful in many cases. Even so, I don't believe that monad

I'm a US Citizen who was self-employed in Sweden for about six years (1999-2006). I was very frustrated at how hard it was to get things to 1. where I was approved to do work and 2. get feedback so I could 3. get paid. On the other han

Anecdotally, I see much commercial and personal use of Haskell. Have you looked at the other comments in this thread? Alternatively, why do you think there aren't small fun toys and/or commercial usage of Haskell?

I'd pay $1k a month for quality higher education on topics that interest me. My interests have a wide range, but I mostly want to learn math and physics and university classes are too expensive for their quality.
