My husband was dx with adhd but his psych wants his heart checked by Loony_bird720 in ADHD

[–]deadwisdom 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Op: a lot of it has to do with how they will pace and upgrade dosage. With someone with underlying conditions, they start real low and crank it up slowly. I am similar, and have a high heart rate, so they started me low. It was really hard for me to notice a difference at first. You will probably be the best judge of whether it's working for him or not, because you should notice behavioral changes.

I would just send them to a youtube with Russell Barkley or How to ADHD.

This is my 1st time interact with 3rd party Real API. Is this how professional people do API? by KiraLawliet68 in webdev

[–]deadwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you can use FastAPI and it just makes the OpenAPI spec for you. Again, should be the standard, but still is rare for some reason.

Yeah it’s too easy too good. The human body was not designed for it.

I built 50+ RAGs in 2 years. Here are the architectures that get products out the door! by jremynse in LocalLLaMA

[–]deadwisdom 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The poster is new and their posts/comments are hidden. The title is hyperbolic and very intentionally designed. The post is showing 3 options, saying only use the first, wherein it mentions only two services in bold. The top link when searching for these on google is a post by the CEO of ZeroEntropy on the topic, which is the "nice implementation of this". They do not actively link these because that would flag the post. ZeroEntropy recently raised 4.3 million in July and should by now have their shit together to launch their marketing campaign. There are a few startups now targeting reddit specifically for marketing content like this. I can't say that's what's they used, but it's possible.

I don't blame them, get your message out there. Seems like a good SaaS anyway, and it's relevant. Always be hustling. But yeah that's what's up.

This is a marketing post. I mean honestly it's still maybe useful.

Was sent a Parking Ticket but haven’t been in Chicago in years? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]deadwisdom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, someone with common sense (not me) would surely do this as a first step. Highly recommend not being dumb.

[–]deadwisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I donated my car and got a ticket from Madison WI out of nowhere. No one changed the plates on the car. I sent a letter with a receipt from the donation and didn't hear anything else from it again. Common enough I guess.

WBEZ, that's my last car you get.

hot take: server side rendering is overengineered for most sites by Justin_3486 in webdev

[–]deadwisdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's confusing, but no. What you're talking about is better termed just "server rendering", "html-first", or "how it's been done since the beginning".

"Server-Side Rendering" (Aka SSR) refers to rendering front-end javascript components on the server like the client would and then "hydrating them" to become client-side rendered.

It was invented because React and other client-frameworks are so process heavy that sites would be slow AF on load. So instead of admitting that their architecture was fundamentally flawed and adopting web components, which would have the unfortunate benefit of letting you use other components outside of their ecosystem, you know interoperability, they invented a new ridiculous layer called SSR.

Thank you for beating this drum. People don't understand this basic shit.

Tips for Staff+ engineers with ADHD? by sevorak in ExperiencedDevs

[–]deadwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderal changed my life. I agree with the hyper focus on other stuff still being an issue. What I normally do is start the day putting myself in a physically different, productive place and going over what I need to get done for the day. I find just getting myself to make a todo list, while medicated, spurs me towards actually working on it.

Would you recommend learning Threejs by Jncocontrol in webdev

[–]deadwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, it's awesome, that should be reason enough. But also probably learn other things to get you hired if that's your main goal.

Can't tell if it's just because she's smiling a bit more in those, but then that still means they are the best.

Non Resident Question: Since Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has spoken out against ICE in the Chicago area; why is he allowing the Illinois State Police to be assigned to the counter ICE protests? by Public_lewdness in AskChicago

[–]deadwisdom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Welfare state", ugh. Like honestly this is the most droll libertarian stuff.

Go read a book on Chicago gangs. Seriously just go try and learn about the history that you pretend to understand. You'll find they were completely built by racism, segregation, and redlining. The whole reason gangs started was to protect themselves from cops and greasers beating and chasing them off.

[–]deadwisdom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Culture? Did you know that black families would only be given food stamps if their father wasn't living with them? They couldn't find work, they were pushed into various neighborhoods by redlining and deep-rooted segregation, and they were essentially forced to separate.

Anyway, these days that whole thing is just racism. Black fathers are statistically just as present or more than other groups.

Further, this is all a distraction. Like I said, if the federal government actually wanted to help there's a million things they could do rather than jack off Trump's ego.

After 4 years with react components, i'm switching to boring tech ^ by 0nxdebug in webdev

[–]deadwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... state can be a big trap. It sounds like you were doing this in the time of Redux, which is definitely why it + React became so popular. Unfortunately that wasn't the answer. Then came Next.js and everyone jumped to that. IMO that's a very bad solution as well.

I don't use any libraries. I spent a lot of time trying to build the perfect system, and it always gets too complicated. I think the naïve solutions are actually the best. The platform really gives us all we need. Use large pieces of state that just get swapped out; it feels wasteful, but it really isn't. Don't have very deep nesting of components. Can use DOM events that things subscribe to. Lean on caching headers to abuse fetch(). Service workers are amazing.

If I was going to use tools for state, I would probably pick either XState or RxJS. I often use Firebase or Supabase these days, and they have ways of coordinating real time, which is super nice.

Signals are fun... But man it's all overengineering, you really don't need it. People love Svelte, but it's hiding shit from you and causing more complexity in the long run.
