It's interesting but a bit confusing. Merging timelines of titles, summaries, videos, TikTok posts, etc. means there's no reading rhythm when scrolling. I wish they'd make it visually easier to separate elements.
But it matches their strategy. It's a good design for a mashup of different sources. If you don't plan on doing that, maybe take the opportunity to make the list easier to browse?
Thanks for your opinion. However, there is already a demo page similar to Verge's design, although not exactly. (https://demo.ismailsevik.com) I was able to do this much because the CMS I used was Blogger. Blogger does not provide many opportunities.
I’m pretty sure that a lot of people would have antisocial behavior if it weren’t for the fear or inconvenience of consequences. You don’t have to match a DSM definition to be a bad person.
I suppose treatment could have helped, but she would not have accepted any kind of therapy or intervention where she had to do anything differently. I had my own issues that mirrored hers (read about codependents and narcissists), but I eventually came to be conscious of the dynamic, and worked on fixing my side of it, which immediately made the relationship impossible.
Not to start a “does anyone else feel like this??” thread, but I wonder how common these traits are in tech workers. It’s kind of a cliché that CS attracts antisocial nerds. If a serious study were made, how many of those would actually meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder?
Although diagnosis seems to rely a lot on someone’s behavior: if you don’t cause trouble, then it’s not a disease, just a personality trait. That seems a bit unfair to the people who would identify with this, could use psychiatric help to make human connection easier, but aren’t unreasonable enough to warrant medical attention.
The GP conflates "tech workers" and "CS" but it's pretty clear that this is the target of the second paragraph: folks who are happy to do work that harms society without doing anything that rises to the level of mandatory treatment. That tendency has been a big part of the so-called "techlash" the last several years.
That said, I don't think this is unique to tech (cf. finance or politics).
What is the definition of “harms society”? Does it include a lifestyle which produces more carbon and other harmful emissions at a 50th percentile or greater level on the global scale?
I made no personal attack. See Genters comment above. Asocial people care deeply. Often too deeply about others. However from a statistical standpoint of external observance both could be investigated by the very people that exhaust asocial people daily.
Asocial people don’t have time to educate every single person with a grave misunderstanding about them that they encounter so they choose to keep their circles small and valuable.
Furthermore it is all on a spectrum as Aristotle told us ages ago but with an average life span under 90 (while deteriorating) we only merely approach true wisdom. Rarely obtaining it.
I also fit that definition and wouldn't generalize. What I've observed is that the places that contain a lot of asocial people also have an above-average rate of sociopathic behaviors. This certainly fits my CS experience.
asocial doesn't necessarily mean lack of care for others.
Take something like autism, there is NOTHING that stops autistic people from caring about others and being extraverted, but repeated social rejection may eventually make them withdrawn. Or maybe social interaction is just overstimulating and unpleasant. Such a person may do empathetic things like volunteer and donate to charity.
asocial people also suffer from their inept self-promotion abilities often making their virtues go unnoticed and uncelebrated. So if you're relying on personal experience, you're running into inductive reasoning problems right away. Whereas people with antisocial personality disorder might happily tell you all about the great things they do for everybody, even if their claims are total lies.
Being antisocial doesn't mean antisocial personality disorder, many other mental health conditions can cause people to become antisocial. We're getting confused here really because antisocial can both mean "withdrawn" and "hostile" and those aren't really the same thing.
There are many things that can cause social deficits other than antisocial personality disorder, too many to bother listing.
It used to be back in the day. From the time web devs have come in they are the most social nerds with slick hair and bending over backwards to do leetcode group of folk.
That makes a real difference for people making the median salary in western countries. Lots of people in finance, tech, etc. can obviously afford not to care but that's a minority.
Weakening both Europe and Russia in relation to themself. Part of the rationale for NATO, for blowing up Nord Stream, and any other geopolitical strategy that causes chaos on the "World Island"[0] and opposes consolidation/strength from potential rivals.
