Absolutely worth invading allies over. I have no possible idea how this could backfire for the whole world.

I think there is value in knowing a term for the symptoms one might experience because it provides the ability to connect with like-minded people and potentially look into useful strategies to mitigate those symptoms, if they become problematic.

However, I do strongly agree with you that setting a boundary to "normal" and therefore implying these states to be abnormal and something that needs to be fixed is not helpful. We should be able to label a wide spectrum of neurological wiring quirks without nudging people towards changing them, unless it actually negatively impacts their ability to live a fulfilling life.

Except I don't buy this framing that the two are in conflict. The more general awareness there is in the general population around neurodiversity, simultaneously the less shame there is about medicating and also, the greater willingness there is to accommodate each person's individual diversity.

Accomodations initially rolled out for diagnosed neurodiverse people: Like being able to control the lighting in your workspace, or being issued noise cancelling headphones no questions asked, also benefit neurotypical people who are also on the further end of the bell curve for things like that.

This is already the case. Maladaptation is a fundamental diagnostic criteria of essentially every neuropsychiatric condition. There is no reason to treat something if it's not causing you harm.


Did not expect one of the most unhinged discussions on HN to start over classical music but aight.


I have to say, I enjoyed "Nah Bach shits on Mozart" much more than I should have.


Is that because there is some more depth to the joke, that Mozart did this for real "when mozart was out touring europe getting drunk and shitting on women" - "shit on women"? So Bach metaphorically shits on Mozart for being the greater composer who was in it for the music and now gets more fame?

Because I was rather appalled by that language, but maybe lack background context.


Mozart loved wild parties and had a feces obsession. He also was born 6 years after Bach died so no, Bach didn't shit on Mozart, only the Academics do. The only shits Bach cared for was getting paid and making good music. Mozart on the other hand was "paraded across europe" but as a child. By the time he was an adult, he had a job. By the time America decided it had had enough of the British, Mozart left for Vienna.


I really want that to be the case, so I'm just retconning it.


Its well-known that Mozart had a poop obsession.

Hm. Not convinced that this qualifies for a poop obsession. Rather sounds like using language for a shock effect(on 2 occasions), but thanks for the link.


Well, in their family, they had a good-night verse that went like this. Maybe not an obsession but definitely a healthy interest!

Gute Nacht (good night)

Scheiss ins Bett dass es kracht (shit into the bed so that it bangs)

Reck den Arsch zum Mund (stretch your ass towards your mouth)

und sei recht kugelrund (and be spherically round))

And Mozart wrote a canon from it

"Buona Nox - bist a rechter Ox" (and the end of the text is what I wrote above)


When someone gushes over Bach, I tend to go off. Glad that others are just as knowledgeable as I am in Baroque.


Don't give up on him. You may surprise yourself one day.


I’ve heard everything Bach and still choose to not accept him on the upper shelf.


mozart was truly the R kelly of his time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leck_mich_im_Arsch


Basically the first Disney Channel Child Star…


Looking at the rest of their recent update history, this likely just broke...

Task failed successfully.


Yes, that's the point of why CoCs are essentially useless.

Humans should be able to interact politely in any setting and if they don't, the issue needs to be settled with good old human interaction anyways.


This is how I feel. I treat the presence of a code of conduct as a sign that, particularly for small projects, the folks running the project don't have experience leading others. Always comes down to the relationship, the individuals involved, and the way things are communicated.


Why? It doesn't say you need to have extensive experience with them. I would assume this is mostly to dissuade applicants that are not aware of the potential challenges ahead.


This "exploring" can take tremendous amounts of time, depending on the complexity of these APIs. My time is worth a lot to myself. I am not going to spend many hours for a chance of winning 5k$. If this takes a week off of my free time its not worth 5k to me.


If you get paid more than $5k a week, this isn't for you clearly.


If you think this is what I wrote, you should go to reading comprehension courses.


While I understand you wrote "free time", this isn't Reddit. Keep the snarkiness to a minimum.


This website is worse than reddit. Pretentious AI bros everywhere. It even has the reddit color.


I found the book "Linear Algebra" and accompanying lecture recordings by Jim Hefferon very approachable and solid.

It's free, including exercises and an (also free) solutions book.


You will never find a level of "beginner friendly" that suits everyone.

I agree that this is not an ideal start - at least without any further clarification - for beginners but I think it works well for people that already known mathematical notation but not many specifics of linear algebra.

Also, I don't want to be the preacher bringing this into every argument but this is one of the genuinely good uses for AI that I have found. Bringing the beginning of a beginner friendly work down to my level. I can have it explain this if I'm unsure about the specific syntax and it will convey the relevant idea (which is explained in a bit of unnecessary complexity / generality, yes) in simple terms.


Yes. Unless the party generating the QR code first obtains its external IP address by other means, which would still require some kind of echo server. Even then, ignoring outdated approaches like UPnP, a commonly accessible host would be needed to establish signalling with e.g. NAT hole punching for anything but the most basic of setups.


I second this. As someone who still learned "Schreibschrift" in school, I have a tiny bit of a head start but a lot of letters changed or at least changed in style drastically but I can reverse-engineer as you described.
