This made me give up on league pass. How hard is it for them to just provide every single game for one price? It's insane. It's honestly a big reason I don't follow NBA any more.
Makes sense. Sounds like HFT or embedded/RTOS stuff? I don't know for sure, but I have to imagine coding agents aren't terribly helpful in those domains.
Are you claiming the researchers are bought off by billionaires or something? Are you making some testable claim here or just generally being conspiratorial?
This is one of the absolute dumbest things I have ever read. People want their problems solved without waiting months for an appointment and spending an insane amount of money, case closed. The fact that this market exists is an indictment of the current system.
The paternalism of medicine is infuriating. Doctors have been, for the most part, annoying gatekeepers of medication I already know I want or need. Way more medications should be over the counter.
I'm 34. In highschool I read long, difficult literary fiction for fun. Now I can just about manage good genre fiction (think something like Iain Bank's Culture series) if I put my mind to it and take breaks to look at my phone.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to fix my attention span.
It’s a practice thing. Start leaving your phone at home for short trips and get used to being a little bored again. I promise you if there’s an emergency, there are 500 cell phones within a hundred yards.
I think anyone who is able to post on Hackernews does not have the kind of autism the GP comment is suggesting needs to be cured.
I wish there was a name that allowed us to distinguish the "old" autism of the 90s (non-verbal, severely disabled) with the new (apparently helpful?) kind of autism that other people frequently suggest me and many of my colleagues have.
"Asperger's" and "autism" used to be classified differently in the DSM, and they (crudely) captured this difference. In DSM-5 (2013), they've both been merged under "autism spectrum disorder", in part because there's no widely agreed upon diagnostic criteria to differentiate the two.
I can't speak for whether this has been a net positive or net negative on the clinical side of things, but culturally, these sorts of conflicts seem to be happening with higher frequently since the merge.
I don't think most people understand how difficult things are for "high functioning" autistic people and how much work we have to put in just to get by in society.
It's not like I've had an easy life. At times, life has been pure torture. For example, I've barely been able to work at all for the past three years, because of being discriminated against in interviews, not because I was actually unable to work. The toll this took on my life and health has been incalculable.
From one angle, my autism is a superpower. From another, it's a curse. I'm able to solve intractable problems that other people can't. But since my way of solving these problems is impossible for neurotypicals to understand, and I can be kind of odd, I've been essentially unhireable. I've had to go into consulting because that's the only route open to me. And this is just one of many problems I've had fitting into society. It's exhausting to be "high functioning" in a society that doesn't accept what you are.
But yeah, I do agree that merging everything into one spectrum has made things unintentionally confusing.
