Ask HN: Developers with ADHD/ADD, how do you cope?
I'm a junior developer and in a process to get ADD-diagnosis.

I find it very hard to stay focused at work, especially if the task in hand isn't something I'm passionate about. Even bigger problem I'm facing is that it's almost impossible to stay aware on what we are discussing in the meetings. My mind just constantly wanders away from the subject and this leads to embarassing moments and me missing crucial knowledge about the project.

I'm looking for practical tips and personal experiences on how you manage to stay productive and focused during work day.

Thanks in advance!
All of removed modules should go to PyPi no one is going to kill them completely. Python keeps a lot of legacy. I'm also pretty concerned with builtin robots.txt parser for example. There are much better PyPi libraries which are well maintained and have better API.
If you Google around a bit, mainframes are pretty expensive, but have very high up times and other benefits.

So your telling me that a laser, pointed from the ground, is able to shoot straight up, that far, and then curve AROUND the tip of the airplane and into the cockpit and lock-in to that fast of a moving object? This is absolute nonsense and is not some civilian pointing a damn laser pointer from a residential address. This is either military or some other phenomenon.
Yes! We built this site to try and educate retail shareowners and encourage them to take action with their shareowner rights.

Fundamentally, we believe it's unrealistic to expect them to pay attention, so we're trying to build an experience where they sync their accounts, demonstrate what they care about, and then we pay attention for them via push notifications. Would love to hear your feedback! www.yourstake.org.
Well, let me know if you need help getting started with it. The built in tutorial usually helps.

Yes, well, see what happens? Every time fads change or new languages appear, you have to change your editors. What if you could have just one editor for everything? For text files and taking notes, for all the programming languages in the world that you just learn once and learn it well, and be done with it. No more need for new editors.

The reason those third parties have to resort to tracking is because advertising fraud is rampant on the internet and the first party advertisers want some assurance that they aren't just throwing money away.

This does not sound correct to me. (I was in the digital ad industry.) The interest in conversion counting is not just because you can't trust views/clicks. It's because conversions are the most useful event to track. You might be paying for views, but your conversions are your best proxy for ROI on one ad campaign vs. another.

I agree with your prior point that the first party who is selling ad space doesn't want to think about it. That part is entirely true.
As a Liverpool supporter of almost 11 years (beginning from one of the clubs lowest points), I find this is absolutely fascinating. Curious to know how the research team was involved in the signing of Andy Robertson – perhaps the best value signing in recent memory.
Now this is an expensive hobby. I spent this on my last car (a necessity where I live).

It was a great read though and I'd probably buy one as well if I had the money, time, and space. They seem like underrated machines.
>> Couldn't throwing loads and loads of processing power on training an AI on commits create an intelligence with an "actual" understanding of day to day programming problems.

I'm curious to know why you think it's possible to create "an intelligence" with "actual understanding" thanks to lots of processing power and data. What makes you think this is actually doable? Do you think that this has been done before, for example?

What I mean is not that Red Hat is insignificant, but that it's not special that it does not upgrade Python. Even in non-conservative shops that generally would just use the latest version, using Python 3 instead of 2 was not a no-brainer for a long time.
Just so long as they don't bio-char the boomer unbelievers. (Burning of course having too high a carbon footprint).
I use them both at my school (7-12) and at the Coder Dojo I mentor at (mostly kids years 4-7-ish) and they are an absolute hit.

I've been having a blast looking at different concepts and projects which I can use when teaching Digital Technologies (the Australian learning area for CompSci types of ideas).

Personally as a teacher they've also done a world of good for me in learning about the basics of electronics and getting a better understanding of embedded programming (had some fun optimising MicroPython code to do what I want).

Some of the projects I've built with them (some for myself and some for teaching):
- https://headtilt.me/dowsing-for-radio/
- https://headtilt.me/microbit-haunted-house/
- https://headtilt.me/designing-a-microbit-robot/

And a bit about some of the common components I use with them: https://headtilt.me/year-8-microbit-robotics/

As MeToo Drives Up Cases, a New Type of Compliance Tool
You've done big work, and many of us appreciate it.
Hope we'll see updates on it, because you receive a lot of feedback.
I understand why they did it, but also why the author is complaining about it.
Part part of the issue is that it changed about 20 years ago. The emergency brakes used to actually apply the brake, rather than signal the driver. But even when I was a lad, there were signs on the trains saying 'if someone is unwell, don't apply the brake until the station - help will get to them faster'.
This sort of thing happens regularly. For another example of many, witness the effects on users of the change of the "mailx" command in Debian.

> can detect configuration drift, but not correct it

if by "correct it" you mean update the current template to match what's there, that'd be good, as AFAIK there's no easy way to do this at the moment. if by "correct it" you mean revert or change resources, no thanks. that sounds like a production accident waiting to happen, and you can un-drift (?) resources manually already.
I think the Central Line still does it.
I use it for packaging my Python application. But it seems pretty low-level, so I suppose I could call the win32 API directly through ctypes when they remove it.
Few-Shot Adversarial Learning of Realistic Neural Talking Head Models
I don't understand what you're trying to do with your comment. It might not be EOL quite yet, but 7 months into the future isn't very long.

Especially since RHEL 8 is gonna stick around for the next decade, it's a good idea to move as much stuff as possible to a newer platform that will continue to have security updates at least provided and written by the authors of the platform.
It's strange that there is so little enthusiasm for this, measured by votes or comments.

It also seems like a very important mission.

I wonder why there is no effort to team up with China. It's a massive task, and the alternative to cooperation is competing for territory which is an inherently insecure paradigm.
2: Minutes and Reasons for Not Working Out of a Coworking Space
I work heavily with the Deployment Manager from GCP, so I am basically used to describe the infrastructure using python. What seriously bugged me about TF is how difficult it was to do simple stuff like having a nested loop within a resource. I know that 0.12 is supposed to help there and I am looking forward to the moment where TF will evolve into a proper programming language, supporting saner formats (already happening with json integration).

This is muddying the waters. Surely if you have gone through the trouble of looking at the repo and finding these pull requests you would also know the context and should then share it to give others here a context. Without that you are just here making 'vague' charges given dstat is a well known, highly regareded and mature tool. The Python3 port was already done by the author so the python2 eol seems a complete non sequitor. Again a rush to condemn without good reason.

Are you saying anyone running a Python2 project can expect to have Redhat reimplement it in Python3 secretly and have people defend it on HN? This kind of behavior is simply indefensible.

It's obvious there is a culture clash of open source developers sponsored or working for corporates conflating heavy activity on Github that they are paid to perform as their day jobs as the only open source model. But open source was traditionally about people having other jobs and using their spare time to develop open source without profit motives because they believed in the movement. They certainly did not face corporates and paid developers analysing their frequency of contributions to dismiss their efforts and justify an unethical takeover.
From memory, the NYC subway has a lot more space in tunnels, making this much easier to do. The London underground has very tight tunnels and you'd probably be turned into mince if you tried this there (that is, if the commuters didn't get to you first).

Fun fact - the tunnels are so tight in the Underground that there's not much room for much airflow around the trains and the clay surrounding the tunnels has absorbed so much heat that it can't take in any more, which is why it gets so stifling in summer. People used to go down to the Central Line to cool off in summer! https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2017/06/10/cooling-the-tube...

Carly Rae Jepsen – Too Much Video
I just had a look at the GPD XD website [1], and my first impression is that the design looks a bit cheap and tacky. I really like the look of this playdate console, and I'm sure it feels great to hold and use.

I also don't want to spend my time wading through thousands (maybe millions) of games. The free ones are usually bad, and the good ones come with a ton of ads or in-app purchases. It's just exhausting. I'm still looking for a nice iOS game similar to "Raptor: Call of the Shadows" - just a vertical scrolling game where you can complete levels, upgrade your ship and weapons, beat bosses, etc. I've tried a few different games, but I still haven't been able to find one where I can just pay $20 and own the full game (with no more nagging, advertising, or pay-to-play features.)

I like the idea that they're just going to send a few games, and release one per week. It sounds nice to not have to make any choices, and just enjoy the full curated experience.

I don't know if I'll get one, but those are the reasons why I would consider it. I've also been thinking about a Nintendo Switch, but to be honest I'm not much of a gamer.

Comcast’s New Smart Sensor Will Count How Many Times You Pee
No, there was never a time. What has changed are things like the advancement of science and communications that make the world much smaller in a way.
I really enjoyed Level 2-2 when it repeatedly tries to swim up onto the land tiles - it feels like you should be able to do that and there might be a big reward for succeeding, so it's very natural to keep trying for some time.
Agreed, but the key difference is that this is not only massively expensive, but will require years of construction and the coordination of millions of people.

To make that happen, FERC is trying to incent the right market conditions and some are occurring naturally.
The problem is there's no clear way to get started with setting up a python package. Every other day someone ask a question on SO about it and the first google result is outdated distutils IIRC
I will not deny that I am biased as I am pretty sure I am afflicted with ADHD and it fucked up parts of my life well and good. So, by all means, take it with a grain of salt and do your independent research.

That said:

>I've thought about ADHD before, but I'm just not sure. There are plenty of situations where I feel engaged enough to do a single task for a long time. I can read a book in one sitting. I can binge watch entire seasons of GoT (or any number of other series) back-to-back. So it feels like grasping for ADHD is just a cop out of actually learning how to study or how to adult and I feel like even more of a failure.

This again is not untypical, some call it "hyperfocus" which I hate because it sounds like a superpower while it probably just is what neurotypicals call "flow".

Do you get "in the zone" while doing your taxes? Or do you get into it while devouring information, researching things you find super interesting or in the initial phase of a new project? If it is the latter, it fits.

ADHD does not mean you are unable to concentrate at all - it means you have troubles concentrating on boring tasks, on extrinsical tasks, on yak-shaving problems. It still allows you to go super deep into some rabbit hole you find interesting in the moment.

If I were you, I'd research the symptoms and different presentations (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html) and see how well they fit. If they fit, maybe head over to https://old.reddit.com/r/ADHD/ to read some personal perspective. The sub is not super high quality, and confirmation bias is an issue, but I felt it is a good resource to check how well I click with others from an ADHD background.

And if you still think that maybe there's more to it than being a failure, seek treatment. A bit of Adderall or Ritalin should give you a pretty good idea whether your functioning can be improved by meds. Exercise is extremely valuable as well.

Good luck (and no, you are not a failure :)
After the 2005 bombings in London, which targeted public transport networks and the people on them, the security services are understandably concerned about similar attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings
There are much more of it. I think around 1/3 of standard library is legacy and burden for python. I recall there was a PyCon talk about why you may not want to be a part of standard library. Release process and support of old versions is very strict and heavy, it could delay releases and API change dramatically. You can look at situation with urllib for example, there are 3 versions of them, but most popular is requests 3rd party module.

Fresh Hostilities in the War of Words Between Craig Wright and Roger Ver
Recent tech companies notoriously have voting rights concentrated among founder-executives; that is very much against the norm for the majority of public companies, where CEOs can actually be fired / replaced by the board.

Zuck/Brin/Page's argument was that their tech visionary abilities deserved special protection to take risks others don't see. You're seeing a lot of investors dispute that increasingly. And that argument has no traction at all in more mature industries where senior management is more of an actual management role, serving as employees of the board.

Doing the right thing can be excellent PR and boost customer acquisition and retention - especially when you are consumer facing.
That's a very reasonable position, and I won't argue with you there. Many times you need to make a decision with imperfect or incomplete information.

However you go one step further and attack anyone who dares question that view, and you do it with the a sense of righteousness as though you did understand the topic and applied the scientific method to get there. That's just bullying, but you get away with it because you're part of a mob. I mean it's one thing for an expert to claim certainty and argue their point of view, but you aren't actually certain - you just picked the safer bet.

To be clear, I think the world would be a lot better place with less burning coal. I care a lot about the poisoning and pollution in the oceans. I think smog is disgusting. I probably have one of the smallest "carbon footprints" of any adult you know. However, I know a fair amount about programming, math, and simulations, and I don't trust anyone who says they can predict a chaotic system 50-100 years into the future.

And concensus doesn't compel me much at all. Once upon a time in America, you could probably get a concensus (even among scientists!) that God was real.

How to Break the Monolithic Database
It's legally correct.

The H-4 expansion Obama did, just like his DACA expansion, was illegal, as the Fifth Circuit has already established. The Trump administration is simply following the law by withdrawing the illegal expansion that the DHS lacked legal authority to do. The H-4 specific lawsuit from Save Jobs USA is using the same principle from the Fifth Circuit decision.

The legal way to have done H-4 or DACA was with appropriate legislation during the time the Democrats held the Presidency, the House, and a filibuster-proof Senate majority... yet they chose to do absolutely no changes in immigration law (DACA or other amnesty, H-4 or other expansion). In fact, Senator Schumer railed against amnesty himself in multiple floor speeches. Now, ask yourself why that is.

As well as this I think it slows communication of important issues and undermines trust. We need to be better at these things globally so that we can tackle the important global problems we are facing with climate breakdown etc.

RER is heavy rail - Ligne A's trunk shifts 50k pax/hour each direction. With, among other efforts, the extended Ligne E and Ligne 14, there are serious network upgrades on the way to meet the challenge.

Indeed the only people angry at how Paris is taking back public space from cars are those who insist on taking a personal car into Paris, which is puzzling stubbornness where there are so many other options.

I live in Courbevoie, outside Paris and cycle there daily - I couldn't be happier and I don't feel second class at all. Placemaking is the future: cities are living places, not car sinks.

I wonder how much cheaper it is to implement software for one, huge machine that „just works”, vs the usual way of implementing for a network of distributed machines. Distributed programming is NOT easy, and, even if the hard parts are supposedly implemented by various protocols/frameworks, these solutions constrain the way you can program and also have a ton of „interesting” failure states - just take a look at logs of say Hadoop cluster that’s been running for a while - even though the cluster is supposedly running fine (or is it?), you’ll find various kinds of exceptions related to the distributed model (socket timeouts and whatnot). Not to mention trying to thoroughly understand various eventual consistency models.

On th plus side, we’ve basically moved complexity from hardware to software (it was pioneered by Google, a software company, so no wonder) which increases salaries of software people, at the expense of hardware people. So yay for us I guess.
Obviously not. But you are presenting a polarized pair of scenarios which I don't agree are the only possible outcomes. I think we can strive for something in the middle, between chaos and robotic like use of crosswalks.

Well I have 100s (literally because I work a lot with incubated startups) of anecdotes like that; when something is not react but makes bucket loads of money anyway (pro tip; those two things are absolutely not related at all), there will be someone who suggests a rewrite in React (native) for a reason that makes no sense to anyone but the people who are starry-eyed looking at their heros on Youtube giving low-tech presentations but with such an air of superiority. Well they DO work at Facebook (wait was that not some immoral company? Wait, wasn't the first version written in PHP which we all (...) hate here by the robot CEO everybody thinks is slightly insane these days? I guess that doesn't affect the tech now so let's ignore)!

Edit: I did not mean the last part sarcastic although it reads like that; I think Zuckerberg is a vastly overrated twat but that or that the product of the company currently sucks (yes yes IMHO, but many people agree and I mean currently; it could be great, but shareholder value) does not have anything todo with technical merit.

That is an unreasonable request. It contradicts their modus operandi and demands the earth, moon, and stars of an off-the-shelf product so that a niche - game developers - can build profitable tools on top of it while paying them nothing for the privilege.

Does someone know if they rewrote QPX with one of their internal approved languages (Java?) or if they continued to use CL? The Wikipedia page mentions that they offered a simplified API but was discontinued April last year.

I would dare to say they canned the product for good... ^__^;
