Vectors of length 1 are still vectors :)
One thing I'd want is a legend for key symbol -> key name text. I use an external keyboard without any ctrl/alt/option symbols on them. I get the symbols mixed up quite a bit. They're not how I think about those keys, and it's always frustrating to me to have to figure out which is which based on a symbol.
Also curious if it works with jetbrains products?
curl's not exactly a new project -- this is 'down the line' for it.
I personally welcome the change. I wont use it often, but when I will, I'll be quite happy that it's there. There are a number of other features I'd give up in it's stead.
Backwards compatibility is a wonderful thing, but leads to anachronisms 20 years later.
`-X` exists for anyone that doesn't want curl's divination
The spartan nature of the language itself, and all of the inevitable difficulties around linking has really made nearly everything else seem so much more simple.
One nit, with the font:

Person with severe adhd and disposable income here: Nope. This is too much. Especially if you're not offering psychiatric services (e.g., no meds).
> in honor of our launch and celebration of October being ADHD Awareness Month, the first month is 40% off (offer until Nov 12).
I can appreciate celebrating october being adhd awareness month in november.
I also want to call out that there's no regulation around adhd coaching. More or less anyone can do it with out qualifications. You'll notice that there's no mention of insurance being accepted. I say this because it's a ripe area for taking advantage of people. In the absence of regulation, extra scrutiny is warranted.
The faq states:
> All of our Shimmer ADHD Coaches are licensed or certified mental health professionals or have extensive experience with ADHD & undergo our Shimmer Coach Training program developed alongside our clinical advisors Dr. Amin Azzam (MD, MA), Dr. Anil Chacko (PhD), and our Head ADHD Coaching Psychologist Xenia Angevin.
> All of our Shimmer ADHD Coaches are licensed or certified mental health professionals or have extensive experience with ADHD
That's a sneaky 'or' there -- What're the statistics around the coaches qualifications?
> have extensive experience with ADHD & undergo our Shimmer Coach Training program
So not mental health professionals
> our clinical advisors Dr. Amin Azzam (MD, MA), Dr. Anil Chacko (PhD), and our Head ADHD Coaching Psychologist Xenia Angevin.
No linkage to their qualifications
I think you're both right. There are people that will interpret modern as temporal versus modern as in design.
I was referring to the temporal interpretation, and thinking in terms that either "modern cpp" becomes fixed in time to mean '>= c++11', or evolves to mean '>= c++23' and beyond.
In the former case, you'll have people unhappy because cpp style will surely continue to change, and people will complain that 'modern cpp' is the bad way. In the latter case, you'll have people complaining that "good style" is a shifting target, and feeling like they'll be accosted by trend setters no matter how they write their code.
Comparing go to itself, I feel like they've lost some steam and are coping with the ecosystem steadily growing. I can't say for sure if that's the case, and I can have a lot of empathy for anyone just feeling exhausted all the time these days. That doesn't change the experience on the trying-to-contribute side of the interaction though.
I think one of the big problems is that decisions aren't being made. Issues, proposals, PRs, etc. get ignored. Ignoring is not a decision, it's the absence of a decision.
It's fine if they don't want to accept/fix/invest/etc in whatever issue a contributor is raising, but by not providing a rationale, the community just gets left in the dark without any idea how to proceed.
How many of those years have you been a mental health professional?
> We are all trying to be there for them. Me, his brother, his wife, his parents. We're all worried about him and while I may come across as being judgemental I promise you that is not the case.
No, you're on the internet invalidating his diagnosis.
Spend some time to think about that sentence. The diagnosis is not a "scapegoat", it's literally an explanation for the symptoms.
Why should they have to try to "escape" the diagnosis?
You're probably misinterpreting "refusal" as "unable". After a lifetime of being told "if you would just apply yourself...", you start to get a distorted impression on what the average experience is. Obviously, he's just coming to understand something that everyone else had appreciated since they first learned it, because they applied themselves.
Maybe I'm projecting -- I'm in a similar spot, but I've been diagnosed since high school, and it wasn't exactly a shocker then.
What you're describing really sounds like the secondary depression[0] that usually comes with adhd. That is, he's probably is being handicapped by the disorder -- it can be a real slog to read math, and very hard to practice it, even when it's interesting. But it sounds like you were coming face to face with depression caused by a lifetime of not feeling good enough. Frustration that you can't apply yourself harder. Being gaslit into believing that you weren't trying.
Not every day or every issue, or any other regimented basis. But I do try to stay close to raw customer feedback. It can be useful to see what details gets lost between the customer and layers of support before it gets to an engineer.
I agree. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
If people really need the extra performance, they'll use unsafe to create byte slices backed by the strings, and then use bytes.Compare. Or they'll improve the compiler.
They deserve nothing.
Sometimes these situations turn out tragically because the patient was involuntarily given drugs, sometimes they turn out tragically because the patient wasn't.
I'm surprised they went with a time release injection -- from the sounds of it, when you say "time release" you mean on the order of 30-90 days, not "12 hours". I'd have expected them to just work on stabilization and then moving to an outpatient program. I'm very surprised they'd have used it without any history of it being effective.
In a more recent tale with a family member undergoing an involuntary stay, I'd have wished they'd used a longer term haloperidol injection.
There's not a one size fits all solution, and it's hard to balance legislation around personal freedoms vs recognizing when the patient is a harm to themselves/others, or even capable of making informed rationale decisions.
> My observation is that agony-inducing drugs are not actually helpful for substance abuse.
Haloperidol isn't for substance abuse, so I wouldn't expect it to perform well at it.
Outside of very specific circumstances during hospitalization, doctors can't actually force you to take any medication.
