    I don’t know the popular opinion on this, but I personally think you did a great job learning how to be your best self without having a label. Everyone is unique and everyone will have to learn how to do things their way, having children labeled as something when they already do well might just make them feel more alienated, or be like “I’m X that’s why I’m like this” instead of finding their way to be productive/have fun.

    Of course it’ll help people struggling but not knowing what’s wrong. But if you’re a type of person who can feel/see what works for you and what doesn’t and find solutions for yourself, you might even make your quirks your strength. One frequent thought I have is, how many of the scientists or philosophers in the past were actually autistic? Or had quirks that made them who they are, but would definitely be “problematic” when they were young by today’s standards.

    TLDR: My opinion is everyone is unique, using your quirks to do things others can’t is what makes some people great. Making everyone fit a “normal”, and medicating/… everyone else doesn’t seem like a good idea.



  • Can you do it without loading a bunch of heavy scripts? Making a html responsive is always something challenging I face since I’m not a web developer. I just make htmls when I have to share some data visualization. And I couldn’t find how to make it responsive without using bootstrap, sth-ui, etc and using their classes and scripts.

    I’d love if vanilla CSS just had if statement like thing for “portrait/landscape” or “>threshold/not” for contents width and fonts.


  • We need more information to reach people. So far I’ve only seen people be into Linux when they have less social life growing up so they spend time online (not in tiktoks or such like now).

    Since most people hearing about Linux from class or other people only hear about the bad aspects or how hard it is if they even hear about it. When I came to US university, I was so surprised noone knew about linux or cared enough except handful of people. And most people did it for work (super computer people, grad students) that didn’t like it and express their opinions openly.

    A simple analogy is, would you rather have keyboard with a-z and symbols you can use to build words/sentences, or would you want a wordlist you can scroll and click, while expanding words in groups, and having to find non-frequent words with a lot of difficulty to make up sentences.

    Command line use is harder if you come from gui. But the main use case of command line are:

    • automation: anything you can do in a command line, can be copied in a script,
    • uniformity: every software now has almost the same format of use,
    • flexibility: gui almost always has less options than command line, and many times options are hidden within a lot of tabs and options.
    • Auto complete: whenever someone complains about terminal being hard to use and spelling mistakes I think about this. I think many people that come from GUI don’t know about auto-completion on terminal. It’s easy to see which options are available, easy to choose files, wildcards for multiple files, and all that
    • piping: command line allows you to chain one command with another. You have a command to list all your music files, chain that with a search command to search files within them. Now if you need to search in a python code, you use the same search command, just different command to read the file. You basically have lego blocks (old ones) that can be used to make anything.

    I can understand people being afraid of command line when they start, but I think many people come with biases and don’t use good terminal and other tools to make things easier.


  • Thank you.

    I did consider Julia in the beginning, but I’m using rust so I can make a python library available for people. And also because I can easily transfer other programs I have, and some other libraries in C into rust easily. My project is mostly about connecting the existing tools the grant agency has plus tools scientific communities use.

    What do you mean by official language communities? I don’t know what is rust official community. I am in rust discord but I have never gotten any response on any questions I ask about non trivial things there. I need people knowledgeable about macro, stable abi, and other features.




  • If you have chances of reward then yes. But current situation seems to be really bad. They don’t really value the workers as much as they used to. And you can’t easily leave your current job even when it’s bad. Having most of the population in debt (car+home+college) has removed most of the freedom of the workforce from choosing to work somewhere else.

    Because in my opinion only when you can chose to not work and stay at home for a few months to look for other jobs, that you have a freedom of choice. Otherwise you have to just jump into whatever job you can find because you can get faster.





  • Yeah I think it’s the money issue. The companies have more money making self driving cars. Specially since the incremental advancements make them more money on every new car sell.

    While trains don’t have incremental advancements with sells associated with them. They have less training and incentives. But technology wise it is definitely easier to control speed 1D, while mostly looking at the front (maybe back) compared to the degree of control/sensors cars need.
