I’ve bought 3 Apple products so far and own 2 of them. iPhone, iPad and a MacBook Air for a gift. I’m extremely happy with all of them.

That being said I would never buy AirPods. The reason? They make you look like a douche. Maybe the sound quality is indeed good or so I am told, but I don’t care because I don’t want to be seen wearing them. I prefer my Sennheiser 4.40 BT. I know they’re different types of headphones, but I also have Sony SBH70 for listening to music while training. The Sony is pushing 2.5 years and can work for around 6.5 hours on a charge. They’ve paid for themselves a couple of times by now.
Thanks OP for this article and the rest of HNews for the comments. It has helped me realize I should at least go see someone.

For me, seeing that infographic of how a person with ADHD tells a story was revealing. I had too many of those boxes in line.

> I'm horrible at completing simple, repetitive tasks. I'm terrible at time management, and conceptualizing time in general.

I loathe doing anything repetitive to the point where I simply won't do it even when necessary or "spend hours building an overly complex script to help me copy-paste 10 excel lines".

The threads that have stemmed from this quote has also made me realize there is a good chance I am ADHD and could only benefit by speaking with someone.
> than most history-writing accounts for

Historical accounts are necessarily a subset of actual history. Just like the fossil record is necessarily a subset of the actual flora and fauna.

I'm sure there's an awful lot of important stuff we don't know about history, just because nobody bothered to write it down, or their manuscripts got lost.

Nobody knows whether King Arthur existed or not, for example.
Okay, I start with a disclaimer, I suspect this opinion to be unpopular on HN. Anyway, I can't help thinking that ADHD is one of those mental disorders that merely reflects some increased demands of society rather than a genuine mental disorder and that people with ADHD are just part of the natural variation of different personality types.

There also seems to be a huge divide between the US and Europe, where such disorders seem to be diagnosed way less often. It has always appeared to me that many people in the US are more easily considered mentally ill when they do not fully conform to society's expectations, and at the same time the people who suffer from severe mentally illness are less cared for in the US than in Europe. Or maybe that's just how the media portray it.

In the U.K., a nuclear cask was tested in a train crash and came out fine. I’m sure a car crash would be alright too. :)
I have bought a few used phones, and there is always something quirky that makes you wonder if you got a lemon. Sometimes it is just existing manufacturing faults, but how can you know?

An example: the WiFi connectivity is unexpectedly poor on a second hand phone, which could be caused by dozens of different issues, and some of those issues could be due to being dropped, liquid damage, poor remanufacturing, or component drift...

We bought a refurbished PC recently, and while upgrading the SSD, I noticed a shield around the CPU was completely misfitted: manufacturing fault or refurbishment error?
One thing that actually was important in kicking things off was reading/hearing this quote somewhere, probably the interweb.

This was while sorting out the effects of neglecting loved and dear ones at a point in time.

It goes something like this:

You met an a-hole one day. Yeah, it’s just another a-hole.

You meet a-holes everyday?

Well, maybe you’re the a-hole.

Worth thinking about if you find yourself in bad spots all the time.

Seconded. Notion does have table, but perhaps their typing makes it a little clunky for you?
Haxe is hardly a "scripting language", at least according to my definition of that term. It's a strictly typed high-level language with a proper optimizing compiler. Depending on the target it produces either bytecode (Neko, HashLink, Flash and recently JVM) or source code (C++, JavaScript, Python, Lua, C#, Java, PHP).

See https://haxe.org/documentation/introduction/compiler-targets... for a full list of targets.

Show HN: We've created a 3D printed surfboard
I'm thrilled (and a bit nervous) to share with you the beginning of our crowdfunding campain.

A few years back, we decided to tackle the surfer's paradox: the ocean is our playground but, as surfers, we keep using plastic surfboards that pollute both the water and our shaper's lungs. That's why we created a biodegradable and sustainable surfboard, with the help of 3D printing and bio-sourced resins.

If you have any comments or questions let me know!

It's not that you realize halfway through a meeting you haven't heard anything -- everybody does that from time to time -- it's when you CONSTANTLY struggle to follow what others are saying in a meeting, even when it's an important meeting; most of your peers have no trouble doing that; sure, some will also phase out, but they normally don't.

It's on the level of the pot head in your team telling you "Dude, you're my hero, I've never seen someone not give a fuck like you" because he noticed you were not paying attention during a meeting.

Everybody is losing focus in school, sure, everybody is losing their school items, sure, but not everybody sits on a test and then goes home with the test in his backpack, instead of submitting it, right?

Have you ever tried stimulants? I have and it was a HUGE "AA-HAAA, so I guess the chatter in my head is gone, I can sit at my desk for 2 hours straight, my pulse has gone from 90bpm to 60bpm, I'm completely calm, I guess this is how normal people feel everyday? "
That's true, I have a couple of painter friends, and they all have second jobs to make ends meet.
Hydro can also provide base-load. Especially when used as storage for overproducing intermittent renewables.

It is still highly location specific though.

Might there be value in efficient energy transport using high voltage DC? There is probably a lot less fluctuation in power supply and usage if you sum up over larger areas (especially east-west, as you average out time-of-day effects)

We're a pretty diverse team of developers with a wide range of skill levels and development environments. I was hoping that docker may have helped some developers get their environment up and running quicker and more standardised, but I can totally see how the opposite could happen if we're adding yet more overhead to the process.

I'm going to keep tipping away at the idea in the background, since I've already learned a lot about building a better non-containerized version in the process, but I'm reconsidering the idea of rolling it out to the team.
Sounds like a serious problem. From your description there is most likely an underlying medical reason for your difficulty in maintaining concentration in meetings, classes and when faced with reading and understanding code.

What exactly happens? Does your mind wander? or do you feel tired? Do you drive? if so how is your concentration on longer trips? How is it that you are better able to learn at home? What is the difference?

As @Topgamer7 suggests you might be suffering from sleep apnoea. Another possibility is early onset of diabetes. Anyway, you really should see a GP who will most probably refer you to specialists.

This is wrong. There are many ways of reprocessing and many are far better then the limited once used so far. Its just that we haven't advanced in terms of nuclear technology in the last 40 years.

We will never solve any of these problems if we don't embrace nuclear technology.

I'm just saying that the notation of say A * X|Y * B seemed unfamiliar to me. I only know conditional notation within a P(...). Or an expectation, etc. Apparently your way of writing is used by others as well, but it may be good to know that it is not fully rigorous.

Again, there are different people preferring different presentations. I as a student was often frustrated by abused notations and was often confused by such things when trying to understand something in detail. For a more cursory and "practical" understanding it could be good enough.

The brains of someone with ADHD (assuming correct diagnosis) are different from NTs, akin to people with autism.

AFAIK the latest scientific research points at that ADHD is just one of the many variants on the autism gene. But I don't have a source at hand right now, so grain + salt.
I think you hit the hammer on the nail. If you look at how obsessed HN/Silicon Valley is with improving performance, nootropics, etc, this falls right in line, and hits that niche.

Half this thread is people saying, omg I just thought I was lazy, I guess I should start taking doctor prescribed amphetamines now.
It’s interesting to note the OP jumped into starting a company at 23. I’ve worked as a developer at 3 companies with a Scrum methodology since graduating university 5 years ago and I’ve struggled in each. I’m constantly told off for my time management, and I struggle with most meetings (the disruption they cause, paying attention, and keeping on-topic). If anything it’s worse as I’ve got more experience as more is expected of me. In some senses the structure sounds like it should help but it never feels like it. I’m wondering: have other devs with ADD found Scrum difficult and have they thrived better in a different work environment?

It's easy to think this, as is thinking people with depression just need to pick themselves up. If you've lived with someone that actually has ADHD you'll have another opinion.
Tatami is quite a nice surface to take a nap on. Cool and breathable.
Many people take a more pragmatic, evidence-based approach that leads to a better outcome.

In the interests of not being passive-aggressive, I'm saying that your absolutist approach is a bad idea and in many cases makes things worse.

I do recognise that there are people who prefer a worse outcome, because they want to see people directly punished, and also people who prefer a worse overall outcome if it makes their lives any better at all (effectively offload all the bad outcome onto other people).

Yes - you can burn it for energy, which is already done in many countries. With good enough filters it's the best solution to plastic waste that we have.
Diagnosed at 6 with ADHD in the US by a proper battery of psychiatrists, therapists, etc. Medicated until 17. Still going to therapy regularly in the EU to deal with a myriad of ongoing issues as ADHD has changed how it impacts my life into adulthood. I am a "textbook" case.

So basically the reality of my life is not subject to your opinions. Stop projecting your value system onto other people's lives.
I would get behind that. I was diagnosed just over two months ago and the things that have been hard for me is remembering appointments, getting around to doing chores (such as paying bills and cleaning), and managing university studies (too much other stuff to learn everywhere =/ ).

I got suggested to get tested after failing out for the second time and the testing showed very much lower than average sustained attention. I never myself thought about getting tested since I did really well at a lot of tasks and just couldn't figure out how to micromanage all the weird administrative tasks of every day life. If I didn't have to do those everything would be going amazing, but instead it's sunk me into (small) debt and a period of homelessness a few years back.

I think a lot of people in the EU (where I am) would have gotten diagnosed if tested, but we seldom test school age children who don't have a very hard time in school. If you do somewhat ok or manage it seems odds are you can go undiagnosed forever.
I feel that the general attitude in the US to people slightly outside the norm is "you have a disorder, go take pills". In Europe it's "you are less intelligent, go to an easier school and then do manual labor".

Both are terrible solutions in their own ways.

That's why the US Congress has two chambers, House and Senate.

As in other federal countries, it makes sense to elect one purely by popular vote, the other by giving each state equal representation.

To pass a law, you'd then need 50% of people and 50% of states to support it.

This is a simpler system for elections, and keeps the power of people and states more balanced.

e.g. Germany uses a very similar system (Bundestag being elected by popular vote, Bundesrat being chosen by each state).
Zero days warez is absolutely where this measure of freshness comes from. The warez scene was closely linked to hacking because many software packages had licencing keys and other forms of DRM, and providing the software with the keygen, or crack was the norm. Good times. So exciting.
> I have adhd too and got my diagnosis when I was 25 because someone here in hackernews pointed out what I was fighting with isn’t normal or just laziness.

Same here, about a year ago I came across a thread here on hackernews pointing out symptoms. Then I remembered that there was some testing done in my childhood (but didnt remember what for). Got properly diagnosed some time later.

I wish I remembered that thread and who pointed out the symptoms, they very much deserve a beer on me.

Atomic Design Technology: Future of Interface Structuring
I just don't get the problem, like at all. Dig a 5-6km deep shaft(we already have the technology for that depth, no issues), put the waste at the bottom. Keep drilling shafts until all waste is burried. That's far below the depth of any water sources, and unless you bury it near a tectonic fault, it's not making its way back through geological processes for eons. Like, can someone explain to me why we're not already doing that?
I wish the article detailed what the classified documents she leaked were. Too many people are pushing for a war with Iran recently, a reminder of the devastation we caused in Iraq would be useful.
>Do the Legislative and Judicial branches not exist?

Not really no, not as a check on power anymore anyway

Congress has given most of their authority to the Administrative State via vague open ended laws that are more complex than a Tolstoy novel that allows the same law to "mean" opposite things when used against the citizens by the Administrative state

The Judaical Branch has stopped following the constitution as written instead injecting "world opinion" and other non-sense into their decisions

>Eliminating the Electoral College has no effect on the former whatsoever, and it affects the latter only insofar as the Legislative branch fails to be a check on the Executive for the purpose of nominating judges.

False and False. The President has all kinds of power today over both, the president should not but eliminating the Electoral Collage will make that situation worse not better as it is often the Democrats that give power to the Executive then bitch when republicans use that power when a republican is elected. Most of the powers Trump is using today where given to the President by Democrat controlled congresses

>You could say the people in five states will decide the (presidential) election

Thank you Captain Nit Pick, it is clear that is what I meant from the context of the conversation

> but there's nothing special about them other than population density.

That is what is "special" about them, Urban area's have different needs and politics that Rural area's and Urban area's should not be allowed to disenfranchise rural area's which is exactly that you are advocating for.

Might as well just end the very concept of Statehood, elminiate states all together and just have 1 National Government with zero state governments. I am sure you would be fine with that as well.

We are a federalist nation for a reason, and today with the Electoral Collage a vote in CA means exactly the same as a Vote in WY. Each state chooses who they want to to be President, then if that person whens the approval of enough STATES they become president. National Popular vote eliminates the Federalist style of national government.

Many people not ”suffering” is of this opinion.

The quotes around “suffering” imply that you yourself might not even know everyone around you suffers, i.e. you’re suffering by proxy, but you’re the one causing it.

Everyone can relate to specific “symptoms” of ADD/ADHD, the question is: can you control the impulses and is it affecting your ability to lead a “normal” life.

Normal here means looking after yourself and potentially other members of your family.

Honestly, in a way it’s like being in a state of arrested development. Staying a child and having your brain work against you in progressing.

Things that for many is effortless takes a huge amount of energy and leave you drained for the rest of the day.

In a way I’d like to say it’s about growing the hell up, only it doesn’t happen by itself like it should. One might need to retort to assistance, be it medical or mental excercises.

In a way I agree with what you’re saying, there are nuances to it though.

That would make them safe until the next earthquake, which is probably a lot better than "until the coming summer" but you never know.

Digging is expensive though.

At home a similar problem is solved by having someone walk along the cables every few months, clearing undergrowth and felling trees as necessary. Also expensive, but the electricity network is reliable (and and as a side effect, so is the supply of Christmas trees).

Private vs socialised healthcare could have a big effect on diagnoses. When patients can just keep going to doctors until they get the diagnosis they want, doctors that more readily make a diagnosis will make more money.

In languages that don't allow trailing commas, I prefer this comma-first style. It makes it easy to avoid missing or extra commas, which shortens my feedback loop a bit. But I usually don't use it, because a lot of people react the way you do, and I want you to be able to read and enjoy my code despite your irrational and bizarrely extreme prejudice.
The real life Thomas the Tank Engine is keeping the model railway business alive in the UK. The hobby of model railways is only for 70+ year old retired men with money, it isn't of great appeal to anyone younger. Part of the problem is that a model railway now has to be 'photorealistic' and period accurate. It isn't just 'playing trains', it is historical recreation in miniature. A normal loco is going to cost well upwards of £100 and not be affordable to someone on pocket money, particularly if they want a rake of coaches too.

Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends make it possible to have a train set that doesn't have to be finely modelled. The track doesn't require any scenery and the railway actually can be for 'playing trains'. Costs don't have to be high and Thomas, on a basic oval with a couple of carriages can be £50 affordable and robust.

Model trains are not a global franchise except for when it comes to Thomas the Tank Engine. Nobody outside the UK wants a 'Flying Scotsman' train set as it is a British train that never made it onto the wider European network or further afield. Equally, nobody in the UK wants a Union Pacific 4014 'Big Boy' even if people in the US are going crazy for that recently refurbished 'prototype' right now.

Thomas is therefore not stuck to just the UK. Cheap plastic Thomas the Tank Engine models can be sold all around the world. He isn't even particularly gender stereotyped, a parent can buy Thomas the Tank Engine train set for a daughter, although this is unlikely. Although easy to dismiss, Thomas the Tank Engine is a vital gateway drug for keeping model railways as an option in toy shops and their online counterparts. Without him model trains would have gone the way of so many other historical toys.

What the world really needs are some scale model accessories borrowed from video game franchises for the train set.
