  • What is something you like that you initially disliked because of bad representation?

  • I'm amazed at how many parents, including ones of my generation [millenials], are afraid of ADHD medication. Especially considering the volume of research on ADHD and the effectiveness of stimulants that has come out since the 90's.

    "But it will change little Timmy's personality."

    Yeah, that's hyperactivity. Not his personality. People don't normally act like the Looney Toons Tazmanian Devil on crack.

    "But he might become dependent on it."

    And i'm sure people with missing limbs spend a lot of time worrying about becoming dependent on prosthetics. You know what you should really be concerned about him becoming dependent on? Drugs and alcohol. Because self-medicating is real and the statistics are not in Timmy's favor.

  • Research: The whole Reddit has become more negative over time. Also, the longer the community exists, the more negative it get — and the longer a comment thread continues, the more negative it becomes

  • The article was interesting but your title is a little misleading, OP. They were not singling out Reddit. Merely using it as an example in their study on why social media threads tend to skew towards negativity over time. It was about human psychology more than any specific social media platform.

  • An investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.

    Asked if they showed any signs of self-loathing or Catholic guilt, Heys thought not. “I don’t want to say satisfied, but they do look different after they finish. It’s obviously doing something for them.”

    Someone was having a little too much fun with this article.

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • Not as much as I used to, sadly. I don't remember what the first thing I volunteered for was but I suspect I started doing it because I was asked. I volunteered a lot more when I worked at a company that encouraged community service and would give their employees time to do volunteer work during business hours.

  • The average corporate executive has no idea just how much of their organizations resources are dedicated to "churn." By "churn" I mean the flurry of activity that provides the illusion of productivity while actually producing very little.

    I worked for one company that liked to move dev teams around to different platforms to [theoretically] increase productivity around major feature releases.

    Pretty much anyone who has been in software engineering for more than a week knows that reassigning devs to a project that they're unfamiliar with and only plan to work on for a short time will actually slow development down, not speed it up. To make matters worse, some of these teams had very poor practices. I'm trying to be charitable with my words.

    The immediate result was that the number of bugs and defects skyrocketed, dramatically increasing the workload for QA and the core dev team. Management's response was to pile a bunch of unnecessary requirements that had to be met before a PR could be merged. This failed to produce a meaningful reduction in defects while bringing development almost to a halt.

    One of the directions I gave to the core team was that when they worked a defect ticket, in addition to fixing the defect, they needed to perform a root cause analysis, link the defect ticket in Jira to the ticket that introduced the defect, and write the root cause analysis in the comments.

    If anyone from the product team had bothered to review the defect tickets, they would have found that a small number of individuals produced 90% of the defects. Instead, they carried on with the unfortunately common notion that software engineers are just overpaid monkeys and that pretty much anyone can bang out web apps.

    The current views on "AI" are often a continuation along that line of thought. The value of Institutional knowledge is basically impossible to quantify so it gets ignored altogether. I honestly don't know what impact this will all have on the average organization. I do think that if someone has staked their entire organizations future on an LLM, they're in for a bad time.
