There are many people who have the diagnosis and don’t agree with the mainstream perspective on medication etc. Don’t claim to speak everyone.

One of the biggest gaps is that people don't understand that food labels are allowed by the FDA to be off by up to 20% in terms of the number of actual calories! In the real world …

It’s a great article on something that’s useful, but a bit overconfident in its universality. Better at what? There are many dimensions to being a guitar player. Is it technique? T…

They say an ideal container system would download portions of layers on demand, however is seems far from ideal for many production workloads. What if your service starts, works fi…

I mean this idea of defiance is absurd. People here are 99.9% exercising their constitutional rights. The majority of crimes happening at this moment are ICE infringing on people’s…

Can you describe at what point someone would “have blood on their hands” in your view? The problem in my mind is that these systems are exclusively in service of dishonesty. ICE is…

I’m here in the ground, I’ve seen them detain people for no cause. Masked agents grabbing guys out of a Home Depot parking lot and throwing them in a van only to drop them off late…

The HN SQLite worship posts have gotten out of hand. What’s next a post on how appending to files is faster than Kafka? It’s great that some people have workloads that this is a fi…

The oldest are maybe old 5-6 years, but they still look great! That said depending on how you store it ymmv. If you keep it in the same pocket as your keys you’ll have a different …
