Interpersonal Traits of Aspies Placed in Context

a chapter from A Mind-Body Look at the Concept of Asperger's Syndrome (pdf) by Michael Samsel, LMHC

Uncommunicative Eye Contact

In humans, eye contact is the center of the attachment system. In Asperger's Syndrome there is either an avoidance of eye contact (most common) or an unvarying, relative unblinking, staring, constant eye contact (less common). Avoidant eye contact gives an impression of 'having something to hide', and also eliminates a big channel of communication and trust. Staring eye contact, because of its unchanging nature, is also uncommunicative, and is generally experienced as disturbing on the receiving end.

Comprehensions in Python the Jedi way

by Bjørn Friese

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit.

-- The Zen of Python

I frequently deal with collections of things in the programs I write. Collections of droids, jedis, planets, lightsabers, starfighters, etc. When programming in Python, these collections of things are usually represented as lists, sets and dictionaries. Oftentimes, what I want to do with collections is to transform them in various ways. Comprehensions is a powerful syntax for doing just that. I use them extensively, and it's one of the things that keep me coming back to Python. Let me show you a few examples of the incredible usefulness of comprehensions.

A simple menubar utility for opening/ejecting/managing removable volumes that looks good in OSX Dark mode:

Conveniently hides itself when no volumes are mounted and reappears when one is mounted:

Get it here - volumes.lua

Save as volumes.lua in ~/.hammerspoon/ and put volumes = require "volumes" in your init.lua

Amphetamine

Simple toggleable menubar replacement for Caffeine in Hammerspoon, utilizing ASCIImage (for vector) to create the amphetamine icons. Motivated by the official Caffeine app's icon looking bad on Retina

Get latest version here: amphetamine.lua

Save as amphetamine.lua in ~/.hammerspoon/ and put amphetamine = require "amphetamine" in your init.lua
