Nope, doctors can't see you medical information unless you give it to them.
Usually by fax.
Or by handing them a CD

#322Auto correct etc have made me a slower typist, but I'm great at hitting tab. 50 roughly what you want per minute (rwywpm) is more than adequate for programming.

I went to my general practitioner (in the US) and got a Ritalin prescription just by saying “I have a hard time concentrating at work”. That’s it. No referral to a specialist or anything. It is a wonder drug for me. I used to spend a majority of my time farting around on the internet at work, then working long hours and scrambling to get my work done before the deadline. Now I am able to be productive more consistent…
Are you a “different” person while on Ritalin? My wife’s a teacher and these days a lot of kids are on Ritalin. She says the kids that “need” it are more manageable when taking it, but it does change their personality. They are less... “lively”.
I absolutely feel like a different person. I started on it youngish in my preteen years and have spent a lot of time reflecting on the question of what being a different person means and my conclusion is basically: I like this person more, off the meds I'm quicker to anger which burns bridges and my concentration is absolute trash making me unable to pursue things I want to do. This person's life is better so I choose it over the other one.

Super cool framework that is only getting better. If you’re interested in framework spelunking-check out Remix by Ryan Florence and Michael Jackson (no, not that one...). It’s actually going to be paid but I’m very excited to try it. It handles some data loading pain points among others that seem very interesting.
Link to the mentioned framework “Remix”: https://remix.run/
That is just an email collecting form. Astroturfing?

#326This might be cool for learning what is inside the book, not typing. :D

#327Excellent tool. How is WPM calculated? There are a few things to consider -- time spent not typing when taking a mid-chapter break, number of characters in a word (unless a words are counted literally by splitting at space characters), or if characters are counted instead of words, average number of characters per word...

#328This reminds me of a gtypist wrapper I made early in my career for typing over random quotes from custom sources like the dhammapada or the dao de jing: https://github.com/micimize/type-quotes
I would warm up with a few quotes every day before programming as a way of both getting better at typing and deepening my understanding of the the philosophy

#329Amazing I love the idea. Is it possible to make it compatible with vimium please? :)

#330Fantastic creation! I had a blast "reading" The Call of Cthulhu.
