I agree with your point here, but your methodology seems very strict. Almost to the point of self-defeat, because turning to a distraction and finding it isn't there isn't improved attention, only distraction with more steps. I do

With that, I do agree. I encourage my peers to pull "hard stops" when they find that they are entrenched in their habits. For me, it was dropping social media, putting the "procrastination" timer on my HN profile, etc. B

You lecturing anybody on being a condescending asshole is like the pot calling the kettle black. Any air of condescension in my tone never amounted to being retaliatory at most, as with this comment, so goodbye and consider your time wasted

Once again, you're being presumptive. I have a rather severe case of ADHD co-morbid with PTSD, and nothing that I've stated as a solution is easy. If anything, it requires more discipline than simply cutting out temptations. You w

I do have it, so the rest of your highly presumptive comment became moot after the first sentence.

I'm not denying that some people have a harder time than others, but to restrict an ADHD brain is not unlike repressing a child. The "distractions" are only distractions to an orderly system - it does not imply that your brai

This seems like a very puritanical viewpoint. So much so, that it's a little peculiar and almost feels like a caricature. A life of avoidance does not help an ADHD brain, and the idea that your brain wants stuff to do is not the case a

In situations where matplotlib is the lingua franca, like notebooks, I've opted for seaborn. You'll still have to deal with matplotlib's complex nonsense, but substantially less of it.

I think these systems could be greatly improved by leaning towards more speculative outputs. I had initially hoped to use ChatGPT to fact-check my writing, but found that it occasionally made completely-false assertions. If its tone were le

On the other side of things, celestial objects are not flying around at random. They have trajectories typically leading away from us, and the odds for one to suddenly veer through what is mostly a void to hit another spec of dust are just

I collect music on all formats, usually targeting the rarity of tracks or the issue. I favor digital, due to the ease of archival. However, the cold/warm sounds of digital/analog is very obvious to me, and I don't see how any

I use both. Containers for server code, environments for scripting. Containerizing scripts is a bit excessive, especially if it's only going to run on your machine.

I agree. The correction to "fake sincerity" isn't "ironic sincerity" - it's just regularly sincerity and old-fashioned earnestness. The article really dates itself with that assertion, because this was written

I'd sure hope not. Reddit comments are a masterclass in disguising ethos and pathos as logos. I'd expect that the boring reality is that it's trained on highly ethos/logos text (academic works) and thus always presents i

Very useful service, thank you. I try not to harbor negative feelings for something as harmless as a writing format, but I can't help but to feel a glimmer of annoyance every time I see one of these Twitter blog posts.

Looking into it, you're correct, but only insofar as we're referring to two different meanings of distributed. Bitcoin is a distributed ledger, as in "fault tolerant". But the consensus mechanism is decentralized. Thus,

A bit aggressively stated, but I agree with your overall point. Every few years, a piece of tech comes along and clobbers older tech. This is how security improves. Also, in the write context, it is already illegal to send raw TCP packets

Why not just "decentralized"? I'm not sure I ever saw a blockchain that was posited as "distributed".

That last sentence is paramount. I always remind people going into interviews that they are just as much interviewing their employer as vice versa. Not only does it encourage smartly using that "do you have any questions for us" m

Your self-righteous indignation is really no better, posting to others that their solution is obviously a task so grand that most who endeavor to attempt it fail (aka every candidate who doesn't get elected.) It reads like a very sha

This chain so far is disdainfully reductive. Resource scarcity creates a zero-sum game, so you can't give without taking. People aren't trying to punish rich people so much as force their hand into helping those that they rest so

That really makes me wonder if these people have ever followed a rich person's trial before. They all get special treatment. They even get special incarceration. Do any of them deserve it?

Hopefully enough for us to oust them out of the public sphere. I would be more concerned about the massive mesh of information delivery they have developed straight into many Americans' brains.

I have kept this matter at an arms length, mostly due to the low-quality conjecture surrounding it. After reading this post, I am even more convinced that I should ignore it. Every "source" in the article was just a link to a Twee

Very up my alley - I've encountered it in the past scouring the web, but haven't spent too much time there. I'll make a point to frequent it more.
