You know, this really has me pondering my projects architecture. We have tiers of services.
At the top, we have the UI. Then we have a "consumer" an "orchestra" and a "data" tier.
Data is the tier that exclusively talks to databases. Orchestra talks to the multiple data services. A good chunk of business logic is here. Consumer uses the orchestra and handles UI requests.
All it essentially does is split the monolith into 3 services at minimum. And since it's on the cloud, there's a start up cost where we need to spin up 3 machines instead of whatever you can do with microservices. What benefit do I get?
I understand the anger directed against Rowling. I won't be buying anything remotely Harry Potter (or have for a long while).
But for people who really connected with the books enough to get tattoos, are you really doing yourself a favor by getting it removed? The books obviously meant a lot, and the characters, events, and story meant a lot.
It seems a lot like self-inflicting pain because someone else hurt you.
But only the first one they can get in contact with.
And that's if they need to.
So like if you've never been to that hospital, don't have an ID on you, nobody recognizes you, and your can't ID yourself, that's a John/Jane Doe situation. Even if they CAN identify you, unless they have some sort of record of emergency contacts they don't have anyone to contact.
So personally, I'm not seeking the diagnosis. AuADHD is hard enough to experience, I don't want people to also be able to use it as an excuse with me. I know my limits.
People have asked me for years, assumed I was, and when my ASD friends find out I'm not diagnosed are legitimately shocked. For 20 some years I've been in denial about the extremely obvious signs because I wanted to fit in.
I have a very hard time accepting anything, but I have a harder time rejecting clear patterns, evidence, external observation, and introspection. Honestly, thats been more valuable to me than a diagnosis. The diagnosis would just confirm what I know, not how I'm going to go forward.
So instead I can ask a therapist directly: "how do I stop wasting energy trying to fit in, when fitting in is expected?"
They're about to find out just how important I actually am. Which isn't a lot and it frightens me greatly. Or, I'm wrong, and I'm more important than I realize.
The grippy socks will be here soon and either way they'll be necessary to survive until the next burnout.
Gordon is often the only one presented as untouched by mob money. Usually a few other younger, newer recruits that are too green to get a piece of the spoils.
I gotta do this today. I liked Ubuntu but I need something less thinky like Bazzite.
I tried it earlier, but my flash drive fried (didn't know it) ended up with like 4 partitions on my nvme, none of which would boot. No kernel found in grub, was able to boot into recovery from the stick, did the media test BAM failed sector. Went in to try and wipe the drive, magically had a 6.98 available space and the whole drive was write protected.
I wonder if there is any historical way of evaluating human empathy.
It seems to me that there are far more people that lack inherent empathy, let alone more developed empathy, than there are those that have it.
Capitalism, of course, demands the rejection of empathy.
If we call what the USSR had (at some points) and the CCP (at some points) communism, they still massively lacked empathy. Take Lenin for example. He allowed non-Russian ethic groups the right to secede (Lithuania, Finland, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia and Estonia). So he appeared to understand that "hey, let's not subject the people who aren't us the ability to be independent of our experiment". He established literacy development, separation of church and state, women's rights. But then he proceeds to use terror and violence to "drive out the old order" leading to some 140,000 state sanctioned murders, established gulags and slave labor camps. This led to the Red/White civil war both sides of which use antisemitism as a means of blame. So here, now, we show that a significant majority of people are lacking empathy.
Empathy is POWERFUL in a social context especially ones Humans evolved with. Individually we could not survive very well. Grouped together we were capable of hunting the largest creatures on earth, while raising children, maintaining shelter, keeping hydrated, and advancing.
Why would we seemingly develop something to the opposite of our survival?
That's actually a great point that I did overlook.
