Thinly veiled nationalism still dominates Angloamerica. The proposition of any evildoing except the most blatant and undeniable one (like the Iraqi WMD case), triggers their self-defense instincts that make them defend their group cohesion and the social group they identify with.
Cool idea! Was wondering if you could elaborate a little on what type of new dev tools would benefit from this. One of the prototypes I worked on was bidirectional code gen for no-code tools but it felt like it might not be the most useful thing.
Yeah, bidirectional code gen for no-code tools was our use case too (there's a demo video in the post if you're interested). I saw a bidirectional no-code platform called Vision X the other day, people are definitely working on it. Are the prototypes you worked on online somewhere? It sounds interesting!
There are a bunch of ideas for dev tools in the original post. For example if you integrate with linters, you could define more complex code smells without all the AST juggling. Upgrading rails apps (or other frameworks that have a similarly well-defined structure) to new versions might work, by defining monocles for old the old and new version.
It's not online but a little bit of that initial work went into greppo.io. I was thinking more in terms of severless platforms and not dev tools in general. However the theme of my thinking is that I don't know if there is a biz model here. As an open source tool, for sure!
Given we might not have data from the past about the prevalence of ADHD, is it safe to assume we'll never know if mircoparticles and other things we introduce into the environment are the cause of these issues?
I love this article - I knew someone very closely who had “severe ADHD” quotes because in certain things - such as tracking - they were intensely focused and effective. The more time outside they spent , the better they seemed. They eventually found a position with the game commission that overall seemed to work well for them.
They weren’t able to stay focused on nearly anything outside of nature, excluding things that brought them anxiety.
However , this is anecdotal. They were before that able to run a semi successful cleaning business for rental properties, with the main issue being paperwork related.
Oh, I feel this. I have ADHD and I can focus on ANYTHING, but I don't get to choose what to focus on. Some days, my body decides I get to focus on Jira - and then my Jira board gets ALL my attention. Some days, I learn a LOT about data governance or clearing out old emails.
The hardest part of ADHD is to STOP focusing on one thing so I can START focusing on the right thing.
ADHD, High Functioning Autism all have traits which can benefit the hunter-gather lifestyles of the past. Thing is today, some countries like the UK have adopted a stealth war on these traits in some individuals seen with things like transgender promotion or turning a blind eye to more physical forms of abuse often seen in schools. In some case's autistics have been locked up for decades under the guise of mental health reasons which is just prison without trial with forced psych med ingestion and if you dont comply because med staff know best and have the pieces of paper to authorise them, you cant challenge them otherwise you get bullying both mental and physical from NHS staff. Rare cases have been documented in the news, but its just the tip of the iceberg of stuff going on behind closed doors. Society, the legal system is generally complicit when looking at interpretations of law and how little light is shed on these matters.
As a brown person I keep asking myself this everyday, it doesn't seem fair at all. If you raise the point you're making you'll be drowned out with "don't bring me your whataboutism, lives are being lost as we speak". Brown lives have been lost for quite a while now ...
But can you bet on what will actually happen though? Because I can. Western democracies are pretty selective on which dictatorships and failing democracies they decide to pay attention to.
Yeah, there are certainly a potential issues there,
but I'm coming at this from the recent feelings of shame from realizing that what I'm feeling now about my friends and family in Ukraine - while I didn't do anything except speaking out against it when (for instance) the war in Libya broke out - so what moral standing do I have now in asking even those Russians that do NOT have friends and family in Ukraine to potentially wreck their own lives to stop this war ?
Hence (I hope) I'll act more about these issues in the future, and hopefully I'm not the only one.
In Grad school (and as someone who had no idea about the western diet or macros for that matter at the time), pizza everyday seemed like a low cost option. I got fat. I've spent the last 5 year undoing all that damage.
I'm an L6 at Amazon and I'm not sure if millions are possible in 4 years, but the replies are right in that you get close to a million. RSUs, investing back into the socket market etc etc gets you there.
