    First, Omarchy doesn’t need funding or partners. It’s backed by a Nazi multimillionaire.

    Second, the whole apolitical argument is bullshit. Everything is political. Support for a distro that doesn’t really need support by nature of being a child of a Nazi multimillionaire is a support for that Nazi multimillionaire.

    “We didn’t support them because of that” means nothing. The support still sends a message. Just like artist loses control over interpretation of their art the moment they release it, people lose control over interpretation of their actions the moment they act. Does it sound fair? Maybe not, but it’s how reality works.

    Reality is, outside of speciation events, vast majority of traits are neutral. And humanity hasn’t really faced a speciation event yet. We’re isolated as a species on our branch because everything else either died out or merged with us, not because we got forced through an evolutionary bottleneck.

    It’s compelling to try and attribute inquisitiveness and borderline suicidal drive to explore to ADHD, but such attribution can be made to a number of traits with the same level of credibility - namely, “we don’t know but it sounds nice”.

    That’s a nice story, but it reeks of trying to set a narrative to evolution.

    Meanwhile, for the actual evolutionary process ADHD doesn’t have to be beneficial at all. As long as it’s a not-too-crippling side-effect of beneficial mutations, it gets a pass.

    But then why are we bringing evolution into this story? ADHD is highlighting a problem with a way faster process than that one. Specifically, how the hell are we modifying our societies that a significant percentage of population whose behaviour you can find enshrined in anecdotes suddenly finds themselves constantly overwhelmed by normalcy?

    PS: Dopamine starvation hypothesis doesn’t seem to have evidence backing it and looks to originate from influencers, not scientific process.

    PPS: Self-correction, dopamine theory is older than influencing - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1652243/. Yes, I’ve got ADHD, how did you know?










  • However you like, REST doesn’t dictate anything there. Just be consistent and use hypermedia.

    JSON APIs almost never follow REST because they almost never use JSON as hypertext. Worse, no complete stable hypertext JSON standard exists. There’s JSON-HAL, but it lacks a way to represent resource templates (think HTML’s <form>).

    Therefore, with JSON APIs ignoring one of the most basic idea behind REST, why would anyone expect them to follow another idea of REST - consistency?

    REST is a deceptively simple concept. Any time you build an HTML website a human can navigate without consulting documentation, you’re doing it better than vast majority of swagger documented corporate APIs.
