I’ll speak personally, I don’t know how other people experience ADHD, but I don’t just get “bored,” I have a crippling and anxiety inducing inability to do something. I REALLY want to do it, but I just, can’t? Like I physically can’t get up or walk over and do it, even though I know I have to and I even want to.

It really is a motivation problem, I have a strong desire to do it but I just… can’t?

This is one of those things that I would really love to have ten of, but I can’t even afford one.

I guess I’ll stick to my normal straight slide rules for now.

Re: space wallpapers

My favorite source for all space-related pictures are the Apollo flight journal photography archives[1].

I’m not sure if there’s a better resource, as-is you have to click through to see a higher resolution version to check if the picture is even in focus, but honestly that adds to the fun of it :)

This is an interesting point. I know for sure that I have been taught in school to never trust the electronic BP machines, since they can be pretty far off for some (but not all) people.

Instead, using a sphygmomanometer is much more likely to give accurate results.

Anecdotally, I always have a super weird initial blood pressure reading when I go to the doctor and they use the electric machine (one time it was 112/95), but when it is rechecked with a sphygmomanometer it tends to level out at somewhere around 130/85.

I'm sorry—30 mmHg?

Maybe I am misunderstanding, or there is something wrong with my own knowledge, but "30 mmHg" added to systolic seems extremely high.

I am currently an EMT-B student here in the United States, and taking vital signs like blood pressure is our bread and butter. We practice it several times a week, on different people with different body types and different blood pressure baselines. Anything more than ±4 mmHg in a manual reading is terrible accuracy, and anything like +30 mmHg probably comes from someone who doesn't know how to use the equipment.

But again, maybe there is something I am missing. If there is I'd love to be educated and hear about it!

I have gotten in to go down five layers (at which point I run out of screen space) and it is still perfectly responsive. Actually at this point feels more responsive than the real windows 11.

I will admit that I'm not a fan of org mode and find it to be oversold and another time waster for people who are already wasting time configuring their editors. I personally use vimwiki, there is a vim plugin for org mode.

I actually use emacs solely for org-mode. I find editing single files and even larger projects to be more of a pain that it is worth, so I just use my custom vim to do that.

What keeps me with org mode and emacs is mostly bibliography management. I have emacs set up to read my Zotero directory, and with a keybinding I can insert a reference to a book or magazine or the such. Now, what is really great about this is that when I export the org file (usually to latex->pdf, but also occasionaly to HTML), it exports the references in the style that they need to be in (MLA, APA, Turabian, etc.) and creates a bibliography page at the end of the export with everything that I referenced.

I can also add notes to any references using org-roam, so that I have have annotated bibliographies quite easily.

If I could have something else that does just this, I would drop emacs in a heartbeat. But until I do find that, emacs and org-mode it is.

That’s interesting. On my mountain bike that (used to) get a lot of constant use, tubeless was much better than my old MTV with tubes. When the tubes get a flat it is a whole process to get it patched, but tubeless both seem to get less flats and seal better with whatever I put in them.

That being said, tubeless tires do require being used fairly regularly, which includes pumping them up (just topping them off) almost every time you go out. Right now I haven’t gone mountain biking in quite a while so I guarantee that my tires are flat

I think that this may to prevent a loop-around where the same events are repeated in order twice a day.

Likely a reader app, one of the many available on every app store

It is different than just a simple “dislike”. I can’t really explain it, but hearing mouth noises (chewing, swallowing, lip smacking) invokes deep, almost instinctual anger within me. I can’t explain it, but it is certainly different.

Speaking with some of the devs, yes (asterisk). From what I understand, they are working out what they can open source while also retaining the ability to make money from the editor (mostly from the collaboration features)

It is more like remotion than manim, though the two are not the same.

touche.

Also... WHY?

Haha this was absolutely me. I thought I was the only one, but after reading several similar comment I guess that it is not an uncommon occurrence. Weird. I wonder what it tastes like to me know. Time to go lick Breath of the Wild…

Of course! I would love to help to make this product better in any way I can. If you are interested, please email me at gabriel dot ethan @ gmail

This is incredible! I have had an extremely similar idea in my head for the past two years, but I have never gotten around to actually building it. Awesome to see that I am not the only one who has had this idea! (Now I just need something else to think about when I am doing my daily runs…)

I came here to say this. As time goes on I see more and more real tech that mirrors what is in the show, albeit without a controlling super-AI behind it all.

While I agree, I can also see where the creator is coming from here. He is working on making his very unfinished language, and someone else comes and starts making an optimized LLVM version of it. The creator certainly doesn't want the language to always look like it does today—after all, he is still actively working on it, adding new features every week. But he is afraid that the LLVM version will be so much better that people will use that instead of his work-in-progress compiler, and so they will be stuck with an old version of his language.

I think he should have handled it better. Maybe explaining why he didn't want a fork (he may have done this, I haven't watched his porth series specifically), and maybe asking the guy to put out something in his README.

I am a student here in the US.

I was certainly taught to hold and write with pens/pencils in the way that you describe. That being said, I have noticed that I and many of my peers somehow moved over to holding it with the thumb wrapped around the pen, and the pen held more straight up and down.

I am not quite sure what causes this, but I think that is is related to the way that you must hold many cheap ballpoint pens for them to write consistently. I personally fixed this bad habit when I switched over to fountain pens.

As mentioned in another comment, most (if not all) of this can be handled by a shell. For example, I use fish, and with it I get highlights and visual autocomplete (with gray text, and explanations of what commands do).

It seems to go down every time something on it is submitted to Hacker News. Give it a few hours and try again.

This is interesting. I tried out SILE as a LaTeX alternative a few months ago and I had many more issues with it (kerning, line spacing) than with LaTeX. Perhaps it has gotten better in that while? (Or perhaps I am just dense and I wasn't doing something right)

Not necessarily. If I was to run a prank on airplanes, I would probably choose one airline. One one airline it can be dismissed as fake or an employee, etc. If it starts happening on multiple airlines, red flags start to go up all over the place and I would (theoretically, of course) start to be getting uncomfortably close to extremely hot water.

Awesome. I am using PHP for some college classes and I can certainly say that I would never want to use it for something like this, but the fact that someone did is pretty awesome. I will definitely be using (probably a fork that I rewrite in a language that I will be willing to maintain) a lot for sure. Awesome work!

Definitely. During Chile season you can smell the roasters set up all over town. One of the best smells, in my opinion.

I’ve just come here to say that while I am sure that these are useful in some way to someone, they are really bad textbooks. I would rather cough up the ~$250 for a calculus textbook than use the OpenStax one. I know that the rest of my class felt this way and if you read the Amazon reviews similar sentiments (see: I want to buy a copy just to burn it) are stated.

I live in the US but I have always called them/heard them called "Bulldog Clips" as well.

Another +1 for SC2. This game is great in and of itself, but it also punishes camping. If you camp you will be destroyed, so you have to build an army and fight. Games are pretty short (~20min) so there is a pretty quick feedback loop as well

I used to watch Technoblade all the time. His humor was really great and he seemed to have all sorts of funny ideas. He was sort of a legend amongst my friend group. I was really shocked to see that he died, it seemed that he had his tumor removed but it didn't help. Rest in peace, Technoblade never dies.
