- dontwannahearit parentConfused. Is ‘fuck’ fast or slow? Or both at the same time? Is there a sort of quantum superposition of fuck?
- And the challenge is making management understand the difference!
- A quick read of some British press and you'll realize that the British are going through their own self-hate moment, so everyone is aligned.
This is what living in the ashes of an empire does to you.
Will come for the USA in time.
- I like this approach. I am especially drawn to the idea of making custom components this way but every time I have experimented with this I get burned by the context which has to be passed down through all functions.
A jinja/django template has an implicit context but for nested functions you really have to pass that context down through every function call.
It inevitably ends up just a big dict blob.
You get some typing support in an IDE but nothing really for function parameters.
Maybe I am doing wrong?
- With respect, I am not insulting people dealing with the issues of ASD diagnosis. Autism is real and can be debilitating.
The comment I replied to said "...claim to be autistic" and that is what I am refering to.
I am calling out self-diagnosing over vague feelings of "feeling different" and on the basis of online tests.
Everyone who needs an autism diagnosis should get one. Not everyone who wants one.
- I think a lot of it is peverse incentives.
There are social (cut me some slack, I'm autistic) and in socialized medicine systems, financial benefits to an autism diagnosis. So yeah, why wouldn't you claim to be autistic, what's the downside?
Add to that Gen-Z, socially awkward, isolated and poisoned by their obessive phone addictions frantically searching the internet "Why do I feel socially awkward?" and a million "Take out autism test!" links later get their answer. Yes indeed, they have autism, the test proved it.
- I read the article. I found it hard going so probably was not for me but the impression it left me with was:
"I let the internet fck with my mind, now I want to un-fck it."
USE the internet, don't to let it use YOU.
- Le Morte D'Arthur, Sir Thomas Malory, Penguin Classics (1981 edition).
Extremely tortuous phraseology. But I finished it, with gritted teeth at 15.
I have long since abandoned the desire to finish every book I start. Life is too short.
- And it can also be a burden. If you are born on US soil to non-US nationals and therefore become an accidental American you are subject to US tax laws on worldwide income.
In the UK at least banks will not sell you financial products with tax implications (pensions, tax exempt savings schemas (ISA's to the locals)) because of the US reporting requirements.
And getting your citizenship revoked requires lawyering so its a PITA.
I know some Americans will find it hard to believe but there are people who want out of this system and feel trapped in it.
- Anthropic worried about Rokus basilisk maybe?
- Totally with you on the facehugger thing.
The way I think of it is in the early 2000's you used the internet, but now you have to take care that the internet is not using you.
- UBI would basically be a massive transfer of wealth to rich landlords. There is no fixed price for housing, it's based on what the market will bear. If suddenly everyone has X to spend on housing then the landlords will decide that the price is X * 0.3.
- Steve Jackson and Ian livingstone Fighting Fantasy books, mentioned in the article.
