I just dont believe this kind of science is credible
DontchaKnowit··on Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses–They're the Motherboard of the Cell
Ymmv but I think the key here is the "virtuous cycle" bit, not the diet. When you gain control over a facet of your life and establish healthy habits, its bound to A) lead to more healthy habuts and B) lead to better mental/psychological hygene which is directly correlated wigh reduced adhd symptoms.

Way worse than immediate cognative impairment - e.g. impaired driving is the slow mental degredation that comes from constant amphetamine use. It really, really fucks you up. Changes your personality, sense of humor, sexuality, etc. Over time. And usually youre having so much fun whjle youre high on it you dont even realize how fucked everything gets

I think the real problem is getting it to actually work....
DontchaKnowit··on If nothing is curated, how do we find things
Disagree. Eberyone is on the same websites, seeing the same memes, listening to the same music. Its just not from a radio. The curation process happens via social media consumption where the most popular sthff floats to the top. There is absolutely still a shared cultural experience, youre just not hip to it.
DontchaKnowit··on Malicious compliance by booking an available meeting room
Its so strange to me that when it comes to college no one has any empathy whatsoever for students. Its so absurd.
DontchaKnowit··on “The Mind in the Wheel” lays out a new foundation for the science of mind

DontchaKnowit··on Buffett to step down following six-decade run atop Berkshire
Thats the one, thank you
DontchaKnowit··on Buffett to step down following six-decade run atop Berkshire
Hes literally like, autistic or something. If you've ever watched the documentary on him he has a got a weird way about him. Hes got an obsessive knack for numbers and just got into the finance game where literally your job is to make as much money as possible. Its your fiduciary obligation. The rest os history.

Honestly his ex wifes book about how he reads 10k reports is really good. Cant remember the name.
DontchaKnowit··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
Yeah I'm aware. Also that alt thing doesnt really work on any of my windows compyters I had to install I third party keyboard software.
DontchaKnowit··on I created Perfect Wiki and reached $250k in annual revenue without investors
Yeah thats the real pain point, but also just the basic operation of jira sucks. The interface is really confusing and difficult to navigate and changes drastically every time theres an update every few years. Then also its SLLOOOOOWWW. For a program that millions of people use all day every day that does nothing more than display text, its pathetically slow.
DontchaKnowit··on I created Perfect Wiki and reached $250k in annual revenue without investors
I use it every single day, constantly, and it works just fine for me. Only compaint I ever had is that the search functions suck but thats common to literally anything microsoft has ever done
DontchaKnowit··on I created Perfect Wiki and reached $250k in annual revenue without investors
Im confused seeing all the hate for teams here. Whats so bad about it? Its a simple calendar and a messenger. Its not perfect but its not awful.

Jira on ghe other hand.....

DontchaKnowit··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
I agree with you but learning grammer gives you a scaffolding to understand, and allows you to freely construct sentances even beyond what youve previously encountered.

Obviously knowing grammer isnt going ti get you all the way there, probably not even 10 percent, but its a much much sturdier foundation than "donde esta la biblioteca", etc

DontchaKnowit··on LibreLingo – FOSS Alternative to Duolingo
learning spanish currently and I disagree on the grammer part. I never made any progress with spanish until I found a program that started with drilling all the grammer rules. after that my learning took off
DontchaKnowit··on Oracle engineers caused five days software outage at U.S. hospitals
Idk, when I worked at cerner, literally anyone could ssh into a hospitals cerner and drop tables if they wanted to. Nothin stoppin you.

I would regularly write massive update/insert statements on production DBs to fix issues.

So, yeah, id imagine this was the engineers fault.

DontchaKnowit··on Oracle engineers caused five days software outage at U.S. hospitals
Used to work on CHS systems for Cerner. If I am not mistaken they were a "communityworks" client, which meant their databases were shared with a number of other clients - a "multitenent" envirnment, we called it. Completely bumblefucked design. Not surprised somthing like this happened.

Also - cerner software in general allowed hospitals to freely completely fuck up their own architecture. Sometimes ireperably.

If anyone has details about how this happened Id love to hear.

DontchaKnowit··on Coding as Craft: Going Back to the Old Gym
The problem is that someone elses aha might not apply to your situation. The AI cant reason and generalize like a human can to apply lessons from someone else to you slightly different situation

Does anyone have good reference material on learning how to use pandas effectively and understanding the api as a whole?

Any time ive had to use pandas I am shocked at how convuluted and opaque the docs are, and end up just hacking away till something wirks alright.

DontchaKnowit··on Marijuana hospital visits linked to dementia diagnosis within 5 years – a study
Yeah no one ever mentions that for most people weed spikes your blood pressure really high. Add in an adderall prescription, and an underling heart condition that none of my various negligent doctors ever noticed, and boom 6 years later I have a life threatening anuerysm in my Aorta.

But yeah weed is totally harmless and adderall has no negative effects for individuals diagnosed with adhd. Sure.

Quitting cigarettes (and thene eventually quitting nic gum) was easier than quitting weed for me.
