I’m fairly sure most people don’t assume they know why someone said it’s blue, they just don’t care.
People say things to make conversation. It often fails to make sense, but you can just roll with it instead of autopsy-ing the conversation.
You’re normally expected to have lifelong symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you had to do badly in school.
You can constantly daydream, lose stuff and turn up late for everything and still ace tests, at least early on. It gets harder to get away with this later in life.
Teams defaults are pure scummery.
No, don’t alert me on a Sunday night with notifications that I might have missed over the last two days.
the UI conversation around git has been going on long enough (here included) that there has to have been a significant global productivity cost due to the lack of a better UI.
I don’t think this is true.
Git is ugly and functional.
People love to complain about it being ugly, but it does what it’s meant to. If there was actually a persistent productivity hit from its interface, one of the weird wrappers would have taken off, and replaced it.
But the truth is, those wrappers all seem to be written by people learning to use git in the first place, and just get abandoned once they get used to it.
Work socks as well.
They’re socks that go with construction boots. Basically the same as hiking socks but cheaper.
It’s super hard to get involved as a UI person. If you’re a developer, you can just rock up to a project and fix bugs, and if you follow the coding style they’ll probably get accepted.
If you want to successfully contribute as a UI person you have to convince a bunch of developers that you know what they should be doing better than they do. It basically never happens.
It’s a consequence of parliamentary sovereignty.
Parliament can always dissolve itself and call an election, and it’s an important mechanism for getting rid of the government.
The problem is that the prime minister also has a majority in parliament, and that means he can make parliament dissolve itself when he likes.
This was actually a problem for Johnson. Initially, he didn’t have enough of a majority and it wasn’t clear he could call an election without Corbyn’s support.
Good luck suing a cop. The courts have consistently ruled that they can basically do what they like and you can’t sue them for shit.

Both. It’s like the saying “Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.” (With the explanation that if you keep poking it, it’ll disintegrate) also taught me how to cook fish as well as realpolitik.
The fish advice was most useful.
Ok but if you’re at a bus stop, and the bus is just coming round the corner into sight, you can say “this bus” even though it’s not parked up yet.
Same thing with this Friday. If it’s close enough to be in mind, you can use this.
They actually hired an Australian to copy it for them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Levido
Yeah, debugging tests is an important part of test driven development.
You also have to be careful. Some tests are for me to debug my code and aren’t part of the ‘contract’.
But on the other hand, it’s really nice. If I spend a couple of hours debugging actual code and come out of the process with internal tests, the next time it breaks, the new tests make it much easier to identify what broke. Previously, that would have been almost wasted effort, you fix it and just hope it never breaks again.
Yes, it makes it much worse. It is absolutely a serious plan and you should worry about it.

They’ve created substantial policy for Regan, Clinton, and Trump. You should also pay attention to the shear amount of money they have. They spend 80 million plus in a year on lobbying.
He’s the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.
That’s much more important than what his PhD was on.
It’s very true on a Mac. Almost every time you click the green button, it jumps to full screen and then you can’t drag another window on top of it.
It’s a pain in the arse because my workflow is to have a reading screen with documents and emails on, and a work screen with whatever I’m actually doing. But if outlook is full screen, you can’t drag any other windows on top of it.
Don’t know why the first guy was saying this is a Windows thing though. I only run onto it on macs.
I mean that’s a problem, but it’s distinct from the word “intelligence”.
An intelligent dog can’t classify a logic problem either, but we’re still happy to call them intelligent.
“Write an essay on the rise of ai and fact check it.”
“Write a verifiable proof of the four colour problem”
“If p=np write a python program demonstrating this, else give me a high-level explanation why it is not true.”
Unofficial/self diagnosis helped me in my personal relationships.
I mentioned to my partner that a doctor friend thought I had ADHD, and it really helped them not take some of my most annoying traits personally.
I get where you’re coming from with needing an official diagnosis for work accommodations, but none of your friends are really going to demand to see a doctor’s note, so why would personal relationships depend on an official diagnosis?
