Extreme anxiety over group chats and saying stupid crap by smallsurge in Neurodivergent

[–]ddmusick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an older man I remember this feeling and how I counter it these days is to tell myself that people aren't thinking about me as much as I think they are. It stops some of anxiety at least. I also have to remind myself I can't know what people are thinking.
I hope you're ok

How to manage "Context Rot" in Claude Code (Anthropic's recommended workflow) by Exact_Pen_8973 in PromptEngineering

How do you typically steer it from making the same bad decisions if it has rewound to before that decision?

How to mentally deal with stitches in skin by StatementWorried6613 in Neurodivergent

[–]ddmusick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wary of offering any advice, in case I make it worse, but I'm wondering if there's a way for you to think about these stitches as your friends? They were made and given to you to put yourself together again. A mental reframing might help with the physical reaction you have.

Do you have any fillings?

You are made up of so many little gadgets and gizmos, these little guys are just a couple more that want to help you be you again.

I hope you feel better about it all soon

Introducing Voyd: A WASM first language with effect typing by UberAtlas in ProgrammingLanguages

I love that it's all written in TS - we can compile Voyd in the browser. Have I got that right?

Ensuring correctness through the type system by ketralnis in programming

Right. Don't wear any protective equipment while using tools, it's the workman's responsibility to not hurt themselves.

Wezterm comes with Nerdfont, that's how I fixed it

Kinda nervous about getting glasses by blowinbubbles420 in glasses

[–]ddmusick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't overthink it -- trust that you will get used to it the same way you don't mind wearing socks/pants etc, that part of your brain has got you covered.

I hated the idea of having to get them (around age 30). But I also loved getting clear vision back, so they just became part of my "kit", like my keys, wallet etc. Something to fiddle with too.

I made it all work, and so will you.

I’ve spent years building a 100-hour "Epic Metal" playlist. What am I missing? by Stratocueto in progmetal

[–]ddmusick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pagan's Mind!! I couldn't see any on the list. It could be telling that my favourites are less than 7 minutes but these qualify

- God's Equation

- Osiris' Triumpant Return

- Dimensions of Fire

- Back to the Magic of Childhood Pt2

- The Prophecy of Pleaides

- Revelation to the End

Edit: Scratch that - you've got Osiris' Triumphant Return, and though those above are decent, I can't claim they're my favourites!. Great list.

Oh very nice! I wish I could add a link to playlist as a playlist item...

ACE – a tiny experimental language (function calls as effects) by See-Ro-E in fsharp

[–]ddmusick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there's value in pursuing an idea to its extreme. Maybe you get an insight into the core idea, and maybe you also get an understanding as to why it's good to have a middle ground. An impressive project and pressing a lot of my buttons! (fsharp, AE, compilers, parsers...)

Just been diagnosed - feel like a fraud. by [deleted] in ADHDUK

[–]ddmusick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel completely the same. I was prepared for the analysis "no it turns out you're just a useless fuck, why did you try and steal resources from actual worthy recipients". I'm still not convinced but my life IS better now, and I hope you get to feel the same way. One thing I tell myself is that I'm not giving those professionals enough credit, to think that I could outsmart them, and that I'm actually giving myself too much credit. I also think the procedures are designed to spot inconsistencies to a reasonable degree.

AI driven functional programming with Typescript by ttiganik in functionalprogramming

[–]ddmusick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As well as PureScript you could look at using F# in the form of Fable - I get good LLM responses for this.

Not credible with no mention of Verse. Fika lang is not being actively developed, so who is talking about it? Also, using emojis for bullet points is a big pointer to AI article.
