"Sometimes the solution is worse than the problem."

For someone without the condition, perhaps.

My entire life I've tried to work with managing techniques, such as those you suggest, and a hundred others, none of which made a blind bit of difference. Caffiene does not seem to affect me in the same way as it does most people btw. So I've spent a good part of my career trying to find roles and bosses more suited to my scatty ways - often far from easy - once I realised I was a little unusually wired.

The biggest problem ADD has is that everyone gets distracted, struggles to focus sometimes, so the majority of people exatrapolate that out and presume there's nothing wrong. Then go on to suggest 5 things that help them with their occasional distractions. That's like telling a wheelchair user to just walk. "Well have you tried walking differently?" "Tried a stick?" I spent 50 years trying to just walk and I still can't. My first week on meds however, when I was told I'd probably wouldn't yet notice a difference, was indescribable. Truly I don't have the words. I almost dropped into depression realising I could have been like this my whole life. "Is this what other people have all the time?". I could have achieved so much!

That I achieved some measure of success with the condition, compared to how my mind could have worked surprises and disappoints in equal measure - what might I have achieved?

For many actually with the condition it's highly debilitating. They can't not be distracted. Ever. Often they're being distracted from being distracted from... IT IS NOT "oh look, shiny" on facebook. For some powerful amphetamines will be the best solution of those yet available (in very low doses compared to dietary or recreational uses). You don't get any of the same effects as you would taking amphetamines at a party. It's a neurological imbalance, so a neurological treatment will often be fitting.

Course I probably shouldn't think of it as a learning disability and just adjust the amoutn of tea I drink and look at some ideas for people who cannot start and finish work tasks.

I don't want over diagnosis, or easy diagnosis of very young children, and ideally want some more tools in the box I can choose from.
The problem with rational choice is a paradox: Not only can the individual respond to incentives, the individual can also prioritize incentives based entirely on subjective rationality.

You can know the decision an actor makes, but not the motivation. You can know the motivation an actor has, but not any future decision.
You aren't the only one. I'm glad the same NIMBY sentiment didn't prevail when they were putting up lighthouses.
Except I'm not sure this is an "unreal" risk. I was telling someone a story today about how I was outside with my daughter who was 10 at the time. We live in cul-de-sac and 2 houses down there is a neighborhood pool but across the street (very non-busy street). The neighborhood has some unused wood from building a fence and sent an email out saying that people could take some. My daughter said she wanted to take a wagon and go get some to make a project. I encouraged her to go alone but I'd watch from the front of the house, but next to the road (I'm literally 2 houses away). I actually thought it would be good for her to do it alone (with me watching). I watch as she looks both ways before crossing and being very careful of her surroundings, etc.

Then all of a sudden the teenage boy (about 15-16 years old) runs out of the house over to her and starts talking to her. The mother runs out soon after. I walk over there and they are talking to her and looking concerned at me. I walk up and the mom is yelling at me about letting my daughter outside alone. I explain to her that I was here the whole time watching. She then says that some stranger could have come up to her in which I reply, "I know. It's a good thing I was here."

My daughter said she was afraid to go in the front yard after that because she said the creepy neighbors are probably watching her. Thank goodness they moved away a few months ago.
I feel like this is the aspect I enjoy the most too. It would be great if they added "Journeys" which are planned routes with Pokestops and tasks to complete or even like a scavenger hunt you can play with friends with medals/prizes for completion. The other thing that would make the game way more fun for me is global events for all players like a sea monster is attacking the waterfront, all trainers head there to defeat it for a special badge. It's brining in the dungeon raid co-op aspect into the game.
First: No, having a culture where everyone does it would not be beneficial. It would be a culture of groupthink, where "right thinking" individuals shame everyone else for not thinking the right things, and everyone else joins in, not because they think the ideas are right, but to avoid being shamed. If you've been watching political correctness on college campuses, it ought to be clear why this is not collectively beneficial.

Second: If you're the first individual to follow this practice, it's not harmful to you (other than turning you into a snob who acts like a jerk). It's harmful to what you're trying to achieve. It makes it take longer to get to the point where you have people using languages you regard as superior, because they avoid talking to you. "Pompous jerk alert; run away! Don't get any of that on you!" That doesn't make it easier to persuade people that the languages you advocate are good on their merits.

Instead, show people why the languages you like are better. Actually listen when they disagree; they may have more of a point than you know.

The View from Ground Level
The patent troll(s) in the the industry are mostly German and Danish.
It's true. The standard economic assumptions (people have rational preferences, are purely selfish, and have perfect information) don't reflect real-world humans. But that's what makes them robust. Human behavior and culture can change drastically, but standard econ tools still work. They can predict and explain outcomes in ancient Rome just as effectively as present-day San Francisco.

Behavioral economics is very useful, and there are still tons of unexplored questions in the field. But importantly: behavioral econ is more speculative than standard econ. Behavioral econ models depend on getting both econ and human psychology right. Even if such models are fleshed-out, human behavior is quite plastic. So behavioral models are less likely to be correct when applied outside of present-day western culture.
The price of epinephrine in other packaging (vials, ampules, etc) has remained more or less unchanged (speaking from firsthand experience as someone who orders supplies for an ambulance service). It is not an epinephrine shortage driving this price increase.

Similarly, the EpiPen is already an FDA approved product, and has had no new regulatory hurdles to jump through recently.

I used to walk to school all by myself when I was 7 - I had to lock the door behind me, cross two roads to get to school, come back, let myself in, and have a fruit or a sandwich while I waited for my parents to come back. That was in 1998. Everyone walked to school - maybe one kid got dropped off by his parents but he was from a "rich" family and no one liked him because of it.
Nginx Builder for high performance deployment
.NET Core seems production ready enough today. The IDE tooling is still playing catch-up, and so too are NuGet package updates to target .NETStandard still playing catch-up, but in terms of running a finished app things seem solid.

Even if you aren't using .NET Core yet, I also think Azure's web hosting is comparable enough in price to other similar offerings that there's isn't as big of a deal about a "windows tax" for website hosting as many think. Even with something like AWS Elastic Compute while there is an extra cost to Windows VMs it is not that much more expensive if you'd prefer to use the .NET stack.

(That said, I've wound up using Node a lot more than .NET for websites lately for conveniences having nothing to do with cost such as isomorphic development.)

Yeah! I think a few responses have covered this below, but I'll give you our spin (and why it's painful, compared to what people have offered up).

Most of the projects that we're integrating gRPC into are existing codebases that have their own build tools that are (mostly) in isolation. JSON schemas have been agreed on beforehand, and there are separate client implementations in different languages that basically exists as independent units.

By adding protobufs to this process, the "JSON schemas that have been agreed on" become protobuf definitions - which is _fantastic_ for development teams, because they have a single spec to work from, and there is no ambiguity (or, significantly less).

The challenge comes when we are trying to generate gRPC clients in Go, Ruby and Python for the same profobuf file - in order to do it in an automated fashion without a 'monorepo', we need to create a build system that pulls this protobuf from a central place and generates the client, which doesn't exist right now.

It's not a huge challenge to ensure services can communicate at all - as you said, protobufs have thought of this and have an extensive amount of decoupling built in. When we're working on adding new features however, we need to have a place to keep the "gold master" of protobufs, and grab it for all of our projects to build+deploy at once, which is where the above becomes challenging.

Not an un-solvable problem, and different languages have different tooling for this. We've settled on placing the proto definitions in the "server" side (most of our interactions are fairly well modeled by client/server), and then updating the clients as-necessary, as we can deploy server changes without needing to update the clients immediately.

Does it cut three ways? Like the yaml bug? They didn't stop at making it easy for beginners to be secure, but kept pushing past that until it became impossible for experts to avoid insecurities.

I think we may disagree on this, but my position is that such bugs are an unavoidable consequence of too many friendly abstraction layers.
Not at all. If things ever got to the point of forced migrations, that migration would necessarily entail a plunge in their GDP, thus at least slowing the effect.

(The other replies to my GP point out a delay in the feedback loop. I'm still thinking on that part.)
This is very sad. Those poor people. It's a lot of money, but how would you feel if your town had to move? Resistant and mad, at the least.

There must be dozens or 100s of small villages like this in Alaska that will need to move. We can't afford to move every small village to another location. Yet we also owe them help. I don't know what to do.
Could you elaborate? Unlike Theranos, this company's founders are remarkably accomplished and upfront about the speculative nature of their product.
I thought the spike in usage from the beginning was a contrarian indicator for long term popularity. The rapid viral growth clearly saturated the potential playerbase within the first week.

Rapid market saturation means you do not have time to test and optimize for long term user retention. Hypothetically you could get all of the variables correct on day one, but unlikely.

> this is medicating for "normality"

No, it really isn't. There's nothing normal about having ADHD. It's debilitating: it makes it very hard to hold a job. It makes it nearly impossible to plan for the future.

Imagine having a horn blowing in your ear at a random interval between a second and an hour, completely disrupting your train of thought, as if you just did a complete mental context switch. How big of a mental stack could you create, knowing that the horn will blow at any moment, completely destroying it.

Your friends get tired of talking to you, because you constantly lose track of what they're saying; you are constantly looking around for the source of that damned horn.

You try and read a book, but then the horn blows and you forget where on the page you were. You struggle on, and find that you can get back on track more quickly if you leave you finger where you were. The horn blows, and you spend a few moments lamenting that damned horn, and have to re-read the last few sentences to pick the context back up. The horn blows.

You try and walk down a hallway and through a door. The horn blows, disorientating you a bit, causing you to hit the doorframe on your way through.

You can't write code. You can't hold deep conversations. You can't read deep, technical books. You can't handle the college workload. You can't put together a plan for your future. All because of that f*cking horn.

But it's OK, everyone who doesn't hear the horn tells you - you're just living in the wrong time in history. You'd make a great hunter.

If someone offered you some earmuffs quiet that horn, would you take them? Would you then advocate them for others who have that same horn blaring in their ears?

I would. I do.
This is a strong reason why I don't want to raise children in the U.S. I grew up in a very controlled environment with very controlling, paranoid parents and I am still dealing with the many consequences of that.

To think that I would be forced to raise children to be deficient per social rules is unsettling at best, and disturbing when considering that this is happening everywhere in the US.

What could the future hold in store? How much more extreme can this get?

I still play regular but it is getting pretty mundane. But that is not because pokevision and other 3rd party was banned. In fact they were supposed to be banned a lot earlier. The map users (myself included) will never pay for pokemongo but might pay for the map. This is not a good business model for them and in fact it defeats the purpose. Instead of hunting or seeking you are basically shopping.

The reason why it is getting boring is actually something else... it is in the flaw of their game design. This game is extremely biased toward people who live around water with high density such as Santa Monica and San Francisco. You can catch Dragonite and bunch of starters there. But most people instead will catch eevee and growlithe at the best. Basically after a while you finish catching every pokemon around you and there is nothing else to do other than fight gyms. But gyms are so easy to beat that you don't have much incentive to defend it.
There is however ZipPy which is a Py3 implementation built on Truffle, though obviously not directly comparable to the Py2 Jython.
Yes! My 8 year old son recently wanted to ride down a steep hill but he was afraid. I asked him what the worst was that could happen and he said that he would fall. "OK, and if you fall, you might break a bone?" "Yes" "So? You'll be fine."

He rode down that hill until it was time to go home and even fell a couple of times (though no bones broken). Mission accomplished.

> This is exactly the type of thing using React for the view layer would address. I always found myself making extra components and 4-6 files then contriving ways to communicate between them. I'm quite sure there's a reasonable way to handle this in Ember, but when I do similar things in React, I don't have to look anything up. I just write javascript and things behave the way I think they should.

Ember is really not-friendly if you fight the 'ember way of doing things' (e.g. shared-state computes down, events bubble-up). There are a few edge-cases I've had where a parent really needed access to it's child and I am personally not a huge fan that Ember is so opinionated about not doing it, but I would say this is akin to the GoLang's kind of opinionated, it might hurt a few times but it generally standardizes the code-base which is very important when multiple people might be touching related code.
I have my own theory. I think parents have gone so far in the r/K selection[1] toward the K direction that people have gone completely overboard in protecting children.

It would be very interesting to compare with cultures where having lots of kids is still the norm.

I don't get why they don't make their own pokemon map, they hear a lot of feedback and still they choose to act against it.

I made a map that scanned my whole city just for fun and leaning, released and showed to a couple of friends. The next day I was flooded with Facebook invites with people telling me how they got a rare pokemon or requesting for a expansion on their cities. People kept sending messages when it went down even late at night and saying they don't want to play without a map.

It only took 200 pokemon accounts to do it and scan a 3 km radius, so it was a drop in the ocean compared with the traffic they get, and sadly it will go down once the next update hits (they implemented a captcha[1] system).

Agree that WebAssembly is the big one to watch.

On the prior point, from my experience there is a big confirmation bias at work and I think these discussions would go better if there was some disclosure of how invested each person was in their own language of choice. E.g. if you realised you could ship features faster in language X, how much wasted time would you have invested in language Y.

When I was working all Scala, I was always looking to confirm my decision by reading positive reviews, reading about the switchers from Ruby, because I was spending huge amounts of time learning it. This was right up until the point that I switched to Node and could ship features 10x faster.

I think people are always happy to read articles like this and see people switching away from Node if they are working in something trendy like Go. It feels good. But at some level there is a fear that the thousands of hours you spend on learning the intricacies of a language may be wasted.

This is more difficult than you might think. LLVM IR more like a family of closely related, but poorly-specified languages, than a language of its own.

There is an interpreter in the LLVM codebase, but this is essentially only possible because it is part of the codebase and so tracks the rest of the project very closely.
