My journey with ADHD has been a mix. I got diagnosed with 25 after someone here on HN pointed out that my motivation issues might not be normal and something worth checking out. Well surprise surprise, they were right and I have ADHD and always had it. Just noone really noticed but in reflection it makes sense now.

At first I was relieved to get meds. Then I started to learn more and more about what ADHD is actually doing to me and my life. I read through dozens of papers and probably know more about it now than my doc who just gives me whatever his book says he should prescribe.

I hate ADHD and I would pay a lot to get rid of it. I hate not being able to focus like a normal person (despite hyper focus bursts) without meds. I hate that my mood is impulsive and all over the place like an emotional hurricane. I am very sensitive to negative feedback (thanks RSD, but also thanks to guanfacine for now being somewhat able to treat this) and can't deal with conflict.

I can't push through with things, my focus and thoughts play ping pong. One moment I obsess with a new hobby and throw a lot of money at it, then a few weeks later I don't bother touching it again. I start a dozen software projects, finish it 80% then lose interest and do something else.

If I have no interest in something I can't do it at all. It's like getting a tooth pulled out. If something grabs m attention I have to drop everything and do it now and if I don't it will bounce back and forth in my head until I do it (like writing this comment).

I procrastinate everything until the last minute. If something doesn't have external consequences I just won't do it. If there is a deadline or it will impact something, I will push it until it's due, then panic and rush through it.

My brain feels like it's always on overdrive and works in extremes without middleground. Either I hate or I love, either I'm interested or not a single bit. Either I'm fully committed on something or I won't touch it at all

But thanks to ADHD I became a very good software engineer. I was able to quickly pick up new technologies and hyper focus through it in no time. I am very good in designing systems because of how fast my brain works. I can quickly sort through heaps of ways to do something and look at things from many different sides at once to find the optimal path (though sometimes overlook things due to gaps in working memory).

Still I hate it. It's also a completely mislabeled condition. If it was just attention I'd be so much happier.

Epic started out saying that they would bring the Epic Store to Linux. That was removed. Then this.

I am so glad I haven't bought anything on the Epic Store. I did buy this game on Steam, before the studio was bought by Epic.

Tim Sweeney was right with GabeN complaining about Microsoft; saying Linux was a 'get out of jail free' card. Now he is establishing his own monopoly that is dependent on Microsoft's monopoly on Windows.

So given that many TVs displayed a flat blue screen on no signal, does that mean that blue is blacker than black?
Maybe that article has changed in the last 5 minutes since you posted, but when I look at it, the Infobox right at the top of the page clearly shows both Wachowski's birth names (the "male" names), and the second sentence of the first paragraph says "The sisters are both trans women".

So while I appreciate what you're saying, I don't actually see any evidence of this "deleting history" stuff in the Wikipedia article.

Trying to teach my wife pandas and the thing she most wants to do is compute the 10 year projected return on fortune 500s (buffetology) based on last ten year financial reports. It's really hard to find a good data source though as it's either in PDF or Google has been optimized to rent seeking data repackagers where it's hard to see if they have the data without jumping through hoops. Would love a source for that.
This was way more appealing to me when they were able to provide (probably spurious) medical predictions, and before it was clear that the ancient ancestry assessments were so much guesswork.

The cost of sequencing keeps rapidly halving, but the price of kits isn't really dropping, so over time it seems like less and less of a good value.

They're clearly spending on social features and development, which is understandable, but it'd be interesting to see an alternate universe firm just dedicated to making sequencing as accessible a commodity as possible--send in butterflies or dog hair or sushi and we'll send you a genome.

Might create interesting opportunities for amateur biology, similar to how popular amateur astronomy has become with home telescopes and ability to search Hubble images and such.

Attention Deficit isn't an inability to focus, it's an inability to exert executive control over focus. When there's nothing interesting going on this manifests as wandering attention. When there's something interesting going on this manifests as a crippling inability to process background events like appointments and bedtime.
Its good until it becomes aware that you can use it to silently judge how productive you think other people are being, which then changes the way you work totally. Major benefiet of remote work is that you can work at a reasonable pace without being monitored constantly, and end up producing more because you are working at a pace thats more natural for creative work.
Werkzeug/flask and gohttp in my view is not a fare comparison. Based on the details of the project werkzeug is designed to build WSGI apps easier and flask is just a convenient library on top of it providing easier way to manage request/response. It is designed for developer productivity and performance is left to specific infrastructure software like gunicorn, uwsgi and others. Flask/werkzeug or any WSGI/ASGI related servers were designed for interfacing with a http server like nginx, apache, gunicorn, uwsgi and many. A python LWAN http server can beat go http server [1] [2].

Also take a look at comparison of various frameworks in Python including go http server [3].

People are most productive in the language/framework they are most familiar and will defend it. Every language/framework has their own strength and weakness and I believe over a period of time ideas flow from one language to another.

Indeed today many people in Python community will be moving towards Rust or Go because they think it can solve all their problems they face with dynamic typing and performance, which might not be entirely true. It's upto an individual to decide if they want to go that path.

As an example werkzeug/flask framework developer Armin moved to Rust in spite of it being a complex language with very large syntax surface area and a steep learning curve. In my opinion Rust's complexity, difficulty to learn and understand, and probably a promise of type and memory safety (which is not 100% true given it needs to interface with C in unsafe mode and will only be as safe as the underlying C implementation), makes people adopt it to make them feel better programmers (Personally I would have chosen Haskell, if needed to do the same).

Now all the Python projects he worked on is mostly maintained by volunteers and David. But being a responsible open source developer and contributor before moving in that direction Armin did create pallets projecs [4]. So his decision to move is right for him given his preference and learning priorities.

Australian employment law is the most bizarrely vague field I've ever come across.

"Reasonable overtime" is only one example - there's a whole host of other really basic questions that you can't get simple, definitive answers to.

For example, can I employ someone on a 12 month contract? What about 24 months? 36 months? At some point, they become a full-time/ongoing employee and get the benefits of unfair dismissal/redundancy, which means the whole "fixed-term" thing becomes meaningless. The problem is, it's never clear at what point that actually occurs.

Gut feeling is that this is because all politicians know it's an absolute minefield, so none of them is willing to touch it. Better to leave it vague enough that no-one can accuse them of favouring business or employees, because no-one really has any clue what's going on. Kick the can down the road and let FWA deal with it.
Dear Founders,

This is an inane project. Drown this puppy fast!

I LOVE having always on push to talk audio like mumble or discord. If you want to focus just log off. If you want to chat with the group jump in. Want to have a side convo without screen share? Pop to another channel.

Mumble (speex codec) is great quality and low latency. Just has a poor UI / UX.
I don’t understand your point. I’m trying to argue companies should be up front about minimum support length at purchase. Is it that 10 years isn’t long enough?
Cool, we do have a R-Pi with a simple Linux distro on it. Fewer, although not completely zero distractions. Maybe a terminal-only machine has just the right amount?

> The teachers knew less…

Generally that's the case, but it's possible these were pretty sharp, the first teacher was decades ahead for example. It was his computer he brought in. The second teacher, was also my Physics teacher, although I don't have strong memories in that class.

Just remembered—did ask him why I couldn't copy music from my compact discs to the computer, since they were digital? And he gave me a "should be theoretically possible" answer, haha. Many years before multimedia.

Isn't it asking a bit much of developers to give a shit about Linux when according to Steam's latest software survey it accounts for a whopping 0.67% of users, spread across God-knows-how-many different flavors.

Unscientific personal observation, but I wonder if TV has a role in this. Didn't kids start watching a lot of TV around that time?

Also, I feel kids in poor countries with no TV (not that there's much of that left now) have little to no ADHD.

It's cute, it'd be great if you actually have an option to get them printed and mailed to me. I think there are photo print companies that provide APIs to do this so you don't have to built that part and avoid dealing with the messiness of the physical world.
None of that requires tracking when the feature isn't in use.

It could be built so that the air bag deployment is what enables the cellular connection to operate. Until the air bags deploy, the radio doesn't get any electrical power.

I'd love a vehicle that is completely radio silent, incapable of transmitting or receiving, until there is a crash.
But there's no way for the interruptor to know the priority of their issue relative to the your priorities.

This creates a major time management issue. If you have time blocked off for important, high value tasks, you can be easily distracted by someone else's lower level tasks.

Task switching, especially to focus on low level tasks, is highly inefficient in both the short and long term and should be avoided at most costs.
Yea, not worth it for all parties involved.

Tesla kills babies

> " After some research about the potential implications of being a woman in a Tesla, the first thing Tesla carmaker said was ‘We can do it, but we do the opposite.’”

What does it mean to have an attractive woman in a supercharger with an attractive female face that doesn't have a baby attached?

hncynic 1 minute ago

I think the article needs to be updated to explain what happened here.

As in, Tesla lost a few babies to the first one (the car was still in the hands of two babies) so it was a very minor factor. But what happened to the last one would take a very long time.

The title is a bit misleading. The Tesla was an individual that was given birth in a manner that prevented them from getting it.

They didn't take away the babies from the Model S as well. They took away the babies in the Model S's hands and made it a minor factor, including the fact that the car broke down on the front of the vehicle. The Tesla's only reply is if the Model S would not have had any special features. In my opinion it should have given more minor facts.
You are correct. "Uh huh" is the expression of the sound we make when we mean yes.
They have PS4s.
Wickr is not open source. There is a review-only-licensed copy of a C-language implementation of their encryption protocol on Github, and little else.
There is a name for that right? "Be fucking evil if it doesn't cost much" or something like that.

Unfortunately this is already illegal in some other western countries for quite some time. In Germany for example since 1985 (one year late though). It's often used as legitimation when the police is using violence against otherwise peaceful protests.

In the aftermath of the G20 summit in Hamburg there were some advancements to even tighten the law while at the same time the police was using illegal face recognition software.
Do you have any insight into how, exactly, those doctors figured that out? What kind of specialists?
I'm conflicted, because I'm tangentially in this space. While I completely understand the whole DRM bullshit for certain things, this is in another category (for me at least)

There is a huge problem with knockoffs and "off brand" items, most are harmless. Since this is something you put in your body there is reasonable concern that there is opportunity for unsavory or unscrupulous actors to make an <appliance brand> water filter that makes you sick, because it has some shitty chemical or compound in it. The genuine filters are indistinguishable from the knock offs. So when there's lead or something terrible coming out of your refrigerator your going to blame the brand. Even if the blame gets redirected, consumers will be upset the brand didn't do more to protect them.

Maybe I drank the koolaid on this, but there are a number of other accessories for products up and down the line that I staunchly oppose this scheme for. I don't necessarily buy the "control the experience" bit. I think it applies sparingly but a "works best with our brand's stuff" sticker is generally sufficient.

I suspect more people back then were trained from a young age as singers (even if informally). That would reinforce habits of using various parts of their voice; a soprano voice does sound lovely when used for singing but can be a bit nasal when used for speaking. Likewise, a bass would have been trained to keep his voice within a certain range that keeps the resonance in his chest, which can lead to a "flat" sounding voice when used for speech.

The accents and vocal qualities didn't really start to homogenize across the country until the 1920s when radio became widely commercialized, and likely didn't become common until the kids from that generation were adults.

Truly hope and believe batteries last much longer than 10 years.

Imagine how abysmal the second hand prices would be to offset a new battery pack after 10 years.

The environmental impact would be really bad as well.
Most definitely not expropiation.

I said regulation. You keep your company, but after a certain size, you're obliged to treat the OTHER hard working companies living on your platform with respect and not completely destroy them on a whim.

An example: A friend of mine worked for a battery selling business. They had most of their sales in Amazon. Everything was fine, they had a few years at this and around 100 employees.

One day, Amazon decided one of their papers or whatever wasn't good and closed them down. The appeal process too 3 weeks and bankrupted them.

Amazon was wrong.

Now, you think that's fair? All that hard work and all those people out on the street because some dumbass in amazon's underpaid customer service centers fucked up?

Like I'm saying, there needs to be due process. They shouldn't be able to that.

Forget half a century ago! Even when I was in high school in 2005 (while I was getting a vastly better education from personal curiosity on Wikipedia than from public school) it was widely accepted that it would be ludicrous to believe anything in Wikipedia since anyone can edit it.
I have noticed victories tend to embolden a political groups to seek more of the same. It’s why chipping away is so often used in politics. Each individual bill does not make a big enough change to upset the silent majority, but in agrigate over time you see things like a 50% reduction in top tax rates. Passing that on day one makes headlines, but a 2% drop flys under the radar, as does the next, and the next, etc.

Not to say it isn't an impressive one by any means. I was just a little surprised.
They're not violating due process. There IS no process.

They just click a button and you're gone.

This needs to be regulated. A simple analogue of the civil process would suffice. Innocent till proven guilty would go A LONG way. These companies ban you at the first sign of trouble. They are very often wrong.

Yes, this puts a lot of burden on them. Like I said, tough titties. This is your prize for growing to such a behemoth size. You can't have your cake and eat it.
Oh, thats pretty bad. "either buy new or we won't meet statutory obligations regarding your old product" is really bad. This happened with some 2G handsets in the 2G->3G cutoff: traders in the UK were selling 2G handset packages to customers 2 days after the official cutoff date: the regulator made them refund/replace.
I've had it linked to my accounts since 2011, and it's great to have such a rich history to search through. Sure it's not the greatest, but it's miles ahead of the bank's interfaces for searching through transactions. It's easy to export things to csv and make budgets by adding up category totals.
First of all, there's no evidence that he was "kicked off", and even if he had been... so what?

The world is full of disgruntled people who dish dirt on their former associates. We call these people "whistle-blowers". They have many motivations for doing that, but that's not really relevant. The motivation for making the claims is completely orthogonal to the truth of the claims.

Can you (or anyone) address his actual thesis? Given that pretty much the only attempted rebuttals I've seen are ad hominem attacks, I suspect the answer is "no".
