I like the idea of modularity. If I’m going open source, I may as well make everything modular and upgradable. Even if the whole system won’t last for life, I won’t be throwing out an entire device to upgrade just one part.
Thanks for the link. I haven’t seen anything quite so detailed and helpful before.
Not 100% sure, but I have been monitoring home assistant over the local network and watched as random devices also on the local network lost connection to it for several seconds at a time.
I hadn’t even considered open source software for routers. I’ll definitely have a look at that.
I actually have forgotten and it’s bothering me.
I’ve had a habit for 10+ years. One day I just forgot, and it was weeks later when I thought “didn’t I use to do something at this time?”
I never managed to get that habit back.
I had a basic terminal app 10 years ago that was built better than that. It could barely do anything without root access, but at least it want a web app.
Auditory Processing Disorder is a common part of Autism. I only speak 1 language, but frequently have difficulty understanding speech. Sometimes it can be more than 5 seconds after some has spoken that I start understanding what they just said. If I’m familiar with the person (e.g. family) it’s much easier to understand.
I have been told that Auditory Processing Disorder can be treated with speech therapy, but it hasn’t been important enough to me to try, so I can’t give any personal opinion on that.
I don’t even get the sense of relief. I could stop 1 second short of finishing and feel no difference.
Explaining why was really important to me. I struggled to follow rules I didn’t understand, but had no issues if I knew why the rule existed.
Everyone with Autism is different. What works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another.
Don’t focus too much on eye contact. It’s possible he listens to you better when he’s not looking directly at you.
Routine can help a lot, and unexpected changes can cause a lot of stress. Advanced warning of changes can help, but doesn’t always.
Not every day will be the same. He might be high functioning and extremely capable one day, and low functioning needing a lot of help with basic tasks on another.
Exhaustion (physical or mental) and lack of sleep can exacerbate symptoms.
Many people with Autism also have ADHD. There is also a lot of overlap in symptoms. Some ADHD strategies could also help.
As with everything, communication is key. If he tells you he doesn’t like something, he’s right. He may not be able to tell you why he doesn’t like it, and you still need to decide whether to push him through it or protect him from it, but communication is a good start.
You will make mistakes and get things wrong, and that’s ok. No-one can get everything right on the first try.
Just wash your dishes in a landfill.
I love non-standard computer rendering methods.
Most games use rasterisation which takes a number of triangles (polygons) and calculates where on the screen it should be.
An alternative that’s becoming more common is ray tracing which starts with the screen coordinates and and calculates what’s in that direction.
Rasterisation is a really clever trick to do more with less powerful computers, and was the only way to do any kind of realtime graphics in the early days of computers.
Ray Tracing takes much more computing power, but allows for interesting things like non-euclidian geometry, 360 degree field of view, and picture-in-picture with no loss of performance (compared to ray tracing without these additions).
I’m finally getting my psychiatrist appointment today. Unfortunately the appointment is in the afternoon, so my entire day is ruined.
If you’re told you’re worthless every day, you’ll start to believe it even though you know it isn’t true.
Hopefully you’ll find people to be around who know your true worth.
High functioning and low functioning doesn’t describe a person, it describes how much help you need. You can be high functioning on one day and low functioning on another.
I got diagnosed with laziness in school.
Many years later, another doctor looked at the diagnosis and said that the first doctor had written down textbook symptoms then missed the diagnosis.
The word lazy still hurts today.
I have taken your samples. You will never see them again.
If you’re trying to calculate it, then it’s quite difficult.
If you just want to use it in a computer program, most programming languages have it as a constant you can request. You get to pick whether you want single or double precision, but both are atomic (a single instruction) on modern computers.
