  • Holy shit that makes my blood boil! If I earned a B you fucking give me a B, marks are not arbitrary and based on your feelings.

    We had a teacher like this for my youngest son. Her marking of his work was consistently two letter grades below every other mark he got in all of his subjects. Got the school board involved after having a few other teachers independently grade the same paper she gave him a C on. She is no longer involved in any of his studies.



  • Thank you for sharing so much detail. I was diagnosed at 40. Fortunately for me the first drug (concerta) they tried worked really well and it took about 6mos to find the right dosage. Boy is too much readily apparent!

    My daughter was diagnosed at 21, and it took a year for her. Same doc, started with same med and she was at double the dose I am at and it just wasn’t working right. Switched her to something else (sorry can’t remember exactly) and this one works WAY better for her.

    I will go of it for a few days every month or so just to “reset” (doing this on my own feeling, doc didn’t tell me to do this) because it feels like the dose is just a touch too high but the next dose down is way too low. It’s been quite a game changer for me.



  • Agreed except for the variables. You can pry the iterators i, j, k, the pointers p and q, and the temporary buffer buf, from my cold, dead hands.

    Short variable names increase code clarity, particularly when the functions employing them are concise and named appropriately. There’s not much worse than using something like sourcedata[databufferiterator] instead of src[i]. It reminds me of authors who think that big words make them sound more intelligent. Needing or advocating auto complete in IDEs is a symptom of this kind of code smell, IMO.

    Code should be clear and concise; it’s also why I fight for 8 character indentation; if your code is creeping across the screen it’s a damn good indication that the function might be too complex and should be broken up.
