I say to myself I'm a little bit autistic. But I'm not really sure.
I fit the profile of person one in the article.
The reason I'm wondering / even looking at autism is because the meds for my ADHD just make everything worse even at really small doses and I don't really know what to do.
Not this again...
FBA only exists because market dominance makes FBA style shipping arrangements profitable. Without Amazon's scale and marketplace dominance, that shipping and pricing doesn't work.
I spent some time with a computer refurber back in the day. He used to buy old computers from mining operations these things were literally filled to the brim with dust and weird shit.
Computers are amazingly resilient if you don't need them for much more than office work.
SQLite is the most underrated database of all time.
I know it's popular, but nowhere near to the level it should be.
Download a monthly statement, itl be a pdf with your address on it.
I keep a daily log of what I work on, i also drop other info links and notes.
This is mostly to facilitate daily updates in lieu of stand ups.
Another thing I do along side my todo.txt is log important team changes, team switches, people encounters, side projects and any major project milestones that might be useful to point out in my 6 month reviews.
It's really amazing to search back and find links to things you did months ago when search won't pick it up.
I dunno if y'all realise this but I'd pay for a search engine that black holes CloudFlare and any other sites that think bots shouldn't read their sites.
I aim for "small images" because downloading a full install of Ubuntu is rediculous on anything but gigabit fibre.
But I don't aim for minimal images. Using alpine and installing what ever you like without worrying about all the bullshit to make caches stay empty still results in images only a few megs, don't need to do much better than that.
Though I tend to agree, if you're talking about a compiled language. Static binary and there is little need for anything other than `from scratch`.
Unit tests aren't really for bug catching, they're to ensure you haven't changed behavior when you don't expect to.
They enable refactoring code in ways not possible without them.
I was using it to determine of I was being unfair in my critique.
If nobody else is disliking it maybe my biases are effecting my perception.
Not everything is confirmation bias. Some people use social feedback to regulate themselves into not being total weirdos.
".tar.gz" or how to tell the file was archived by a Linux user.
Gore-tex isnt that great these days, there are better options now.
It requires dwr to function, as soon as the dwr fails (pretty fast depending on your usage levels) its ability to breath ceases to function, at that point you're wearing a heavy, expensive, water proof coat that doesn't breath so it rains on the inside instead.
It's saving grace is that it's durable in heavy brush.
For a better alternative take a look at Columbia outdry, it doesn't require dwr so its breathability lasts for the life of the garment instead of requiring retreatments of dwr.
Frogg toggs are another option, way less durable but as far as breathable rain proof it doesn't get better.
Both outdry and frogg toggs are also way lighter than goretext. Though look around for the outdry they have heavy duty and light versions.
Hakko 950 soldering iron. It's an analog dial version of an extremely awful digital interface. It's small and compact so takes up little desk space, heats up fast, has incredibly stable heat and adjustments don't require looking at what your hand is doing.

There are similar things on the market but nothing that ties it altogether quite so succinctly.
Yea this was a super weird complaint. My browser is open for far more time than my torrent app.
Off the shelf software isn't an instant win. You're signing up for lock-in, a set way of doing something, a boundary you can NEVER cross, and domain and language you will never be able to change. This language will leak into your software and may not be a good fit for the end user you're trying to serve.
That's a lot of trade offs to avoid maintaining the subset of features you need from said software in house, being able to leverage internal knowledge, being able to streamline all your environments and tooling to suit your needs instead of catering to the needs of said software.
This isn't an argument one way or another, it's just pointing out that there are trade offs you need to make consciously or otherwise.
In your position I would be extremely concerned about pushing off the shelf software onto Devs that either lack the clout to be comfortable pushing back or lack the communication skills to clearly articulate all the trade offs really taking place.
It's very easy for a boss figure to push through requirements with off the cuff pointed questions. The reports often need to push back with orders of magnitude more research and thoughtfulness than went into the question or suggestion.
The brain seems to have control over more of the body than we thought.
Is there potential treatments that could result from this?
I wonder if type one also exhibits this trait?
Would you recommend doing the Camino?
My wife and I are thinking about it.
As a vegan how do you reconcile the thousands of insects and field animals that get culled during harvesting those lentils?
I don't really have a problem with vegetarians but I do struggle to understand the lines they seemingly draw at random.
Minimising harm should be a given for all but that doesn't rule out all meat eating that veganism somehow does.
... and dirt/mud.
Silent reds are what I use after a long time on clears and browns. Can't go back, reds are good for gaming but also far less effort for typing. Never found the tactile bump to be all that useful.
Gerrit is the only thing I've seen do change exploration well.
Github is annoying as crap. Can't even comment on a line in the file that needs changing but was missed in the PR, can only comment on a tual changes.
Phab is god awful, it's like someone built that whole system with a purist mindset, everything is perfectly designed with perfect referential IDs. But every screen is a view into the db table, no screens join information and make it usable. This is worse when you have n:m relationships because they expose those tables via screens too, it's just plain awful.
Pretty much all the major channels I watch have said similar.
The best argument I've seen so far is that it just makes all videos look "liked", and none "disliked" because likes are still shown.
Dumbing down the platform in pursuit of simpler interfaces (however you want to justify it) isn't always what actual users want and or need.
Humans can effectively run forever if it weren't for needing sleep, or eventually, needing to replace fat stores.
Previous estimates, when accounting for glycogen depletion, suggest that a human could run at about a 10 minute per mile pace, which allows existing fat stores to be converted to glycogen, forever. The only limit to our eventual mileage, therefore, is our need for sleep. https://nikomccarty.medium.com/how-far-can-humans-run-d5c97f...
What's the issue? A marketplace is finding ways to drive traffic to its platform? It's literally their only job.
This is like eBay promoting sales of items on their marketplace using advertising.
Which they've done for years.
I'm pretty sure the format is the issue.
I still don't know how to do arrays in yaml.
Is it new line, tab to same indent or same indent + one space, do I need a dash? Does a dash make it an array or an object?
It's just simply not that big of a deal to add a few quotes and braces to make everything make sense.
The only real issue with Json is the lack of comments and strictness about extra commas.
Tiling window managers don't have GUI solutions to a lot of things. Part of the territory.
I also have far less complications as a result. My desktop hasn't changed in close to 10 years.
You should checkout srandrd, it lets you run a simple bash script when monitor changes happen. It includes some Env vars so you can figure out what happened.
Been a while but I had real issues using udev rules as they created timing problems or something like that.
So around 10%. Comparable to most of the 70s, but not the high-teens emergency points.
Except this is not comparable to most of the 70s at all.
Household leverage and disposable income change how serviceable debt is at different rates.
The numbers I saw puts a 2021 mortgage rate of 3% at an equivalent benchmark rate "in your pocketbook feels" as a 6% rate in pre gfc 2007.
Are you sure 10% doesn't warrant the same emergency as the high-teens of the 70s?
Even if rates go back up to only 7.5% what happens to housing prices?
Prices go down 40-50%?
Normalizing for household leverage and disposable income, a 3% mortgage in 2021 is close to a 6% mortgage in 2007. Assuming it scales linearly (not sure it does), what you're talking about would mean an equivalent effect of around a 15% rate in 2007 against 2007 prices.
I tried to track down where I saw these slides but couldn't find them, I think it was a morgan stanley presentation looking at comparison rates and leverage normalization to predict how bad different rises in rates would be in terms of how the rate "feels" to the average mortgage holder.
