ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder
ADHD - Attention Deficit 'Hyperactivity' Disorder

Two different things. One is a lack of interest and ability to retain information, the other is an overactive, overly busy brain that doesn't allow you to focus. Your 'executive function' is shot.

Personally, as someone diagnosed with it as an adult, I feel it's legitimate. The treatment however is questionable. Amphetamine addiction/abuse is a hard thing to come back from. It floods your brain with Dopamine (just look at how long that article is... lmao) and when you attempt to remove it, it's welcome to Hell.

There's just too much for us to process nowadays. Most of us have an endless list of responsibilities and all we really want is to be human. Long story short, I think it's a legitimate thing, but a side effect of the modern environment we're forced to live in.
Well, after posting that, I felt better. Then I ate my salad while looking at those articles. Then I was able to take on some helpdesk tickets, and am gearing up to do the projects I'm actually interested in and most reluctant to start.

I definitely agree with the other procrastination post today that its mostly to do with emotional state. Part of the issue at work is that I hesitate to get into big projects when I know I will just be interrupted by trivial shit again. Beyond that it's just mustering up the discipline to make myself start. It's not really that hard, but it still feels like it is.
I'm fairly certain GE also builds timers into the system to "expire" filters on either water volume or time (e.g., six months).
Lol CAA + NRC is literally religious discrimination
Gender-segregated communities seem like a mixed bag.

On one hand, like the single-sex schools of yore, they may provide an opportunity for disadvantaged who can’t access “mainstream” communities.

On the other hand, their existence appears contrary to the general inclusivity trend, and if “mainstream” communities as a result acquire an excuse to be implicitly pro-male (since there are female communities, and explicitly male communities are considered unacceptable) then it must suck for those who do not strongly identify with either female or male gender.

It is hard to admit that our society really is still at a stage where gender exclusivity is necessary—but, given the number of female-only communities, it must be the case.
Wow, TIL. Does this even make sense financially for anyone?
This is wrong, studies have shown that ADHD brains are fundamentally different from non-ADHD brains in the sense that they have reduced frontal lobe (read: executive functioning, ie. cognitive inhibition, working memory, decision making) matter.

Communists gonna communist and slaughter just like in the past? How many people died to that ideology in the past century compared to Fascism? Multiples, yet it isn't viewed by the West with similar distain (see Che shirts). Historically the biggest threat to Muslims are other Muslims, they're not a giant uniform block, the sects have been warring with one another for close to 1500 years and aren't slowing down.
See my other comment. There are a lot of single moms in the world, and if you can get past that, likely a lot of them can get past whatever you think is unappealing about yourself.

(I'm not a fan of marriage, however. It's neither necessary nor advisable.)
Yes, I'd have lesson explaining it's behavior, how it works any why it works this way and maybe assign homework to extend it to support uniqueness based on structural equality.

Lambda School’s Growing Pains: Big Buzz, Student Complaints
Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like your original comment left out the "Maybe combined with good/minimalist design...".
One anecdote about that:

Do your research. I witnessed an office where the CEO's partner was an interior decorator, and said partner was responsible for the office construction.

In the opulent kitchen, they put two commercial dishwashers, the kind where you preload the dishes onto a kind of rack, and slide the whole rack into the dishwasher in one step.

Greatly increases utilization of such dishwashers, because the dirty dishes can be queued up for washing, and the clean ones can be unloaded and put away while the dishwasher is running.

These dishwashers were designed around maximizing utilization during busy periods. But.

In an office kitchen, they would be run once or twice a day most of the time, with bursts only happening during infrequent events. This turned out to be an unexpected problem.

It seems the dishwashers were full of steel for durability, and they needed to run a load to warm up. Once warm, they could to load after load at high speed. But when only doing one load a day, they wouldn't clean the dishes properly.

The vendor told them this and suggested they have one "prosumer" model and one commercial model for when they had a catered event, but this displeased the CEO's partner, so the company was stuck with two commercial units.

They learned to run an empty load every day before running a full load, wasting enough time that the dishwasher lost its speed advantage. It also wasted water and energy do do one preload for each daily load.

Something to think about when buying commercial. It's usually ok, but sometimes, a commercial unit has tradeoffs that will gravely undermine its ability to function in a home or office.
Many people in the U.S. get by with limited banking and credit, so consumer businesses are used to dealing with them. Try letting go of the importance of some of the things you are worried about and it might not be as bad as you think. All those businesses that want your SSN will usually accept a deposit instead (yes, even the "big evil" companies that demand it, they will often relent quickly and accept a deposit instead). Get a prepaid phone (again, no SSN).

Theoretically, yes, there are lots of problems with banks and credit agencies. But in practice, they don't often interfere with your life if you use them sparingly.
Then make lying about it illegal, not the technology itself.

Not necessarily. Not going into political arguments, but just because the majority agrees with something, does not make it ethical.

Edit: I do agree with the sentiment of your post though. That is, to counter the idea that “ethics” depends on whatever view of the world an individual has.
Here's an article with stats from 2015 and 2016... I spent a few minutes trying to find an article I recall from around 2014 or so, but unable to find it. There's a lot of information out there, and the number of drone strikes are incredibly large. I think the record under Trump has been roughly the same, but it's a dramatic change over before Obama. The kiloton size may or may not be smaller. More targeted drone/missile strikes vs bombs. But I believe the number of drops is much larger.

Frankly, I'd love to see most of our foreign deployments dramatically scaled back. I just don't think the mentality that nobody should provide any kind of technical services to the government would only make things worse, not better overall, and that specific criticisms shouldn't be part of decisions of infrastructure use.

Sigh. DK, as commonly cited, is not simply "competence."

It hypothesizes a meta-cognitive bias whereby a person who is incompetent is cognitively incapable of determining their level of competence.

Everyone has biases, and the reason citing DK may come across the wrong way is it tends to suggest that it's just Other People who have those biases.

From this piece[1] arguing that we routinely misinterpret DK:

> I suspect we find this sort of explanation compelling because it appeals to our implicit just-world theories: we’d like to believe that people who obnoxiously proclaim their excellence at X, Y, and Z must really not be so very good at X, Y, and Z at all, and must be (over)compensating for some actual deficiency.

But, generally, if the question of competence comes up, don't reflexively cite DK. It's been around for ages, it's not novel, and it's usually being miscited.

Force yourself to breathe slowly. It leads to a much shorter shock phase.

This is a neurological hack, basically your mind thinks that everything is ok because you only breathe slowly in calm conditions (cold water is not calm by default).
These sort of decisions should not be made by large centralized agencies like EU. I would rather see these decisions being left to the individual countries and even better to local bodies.

May be London wants to take a different approach than Finland. That should be fine. Let each countries figure out what works for them.
"
Lanham, Md. (Jan. 8, 2019)— The message is clear. Treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), along with the related health risks it poses, has the possibility of adding an average of nine to 13 years to the lifespan of children and adults diagnosed with ADHD. This is the implication of a cutting-edge research study conducted by Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D., who evaluated the connection between ADHD and 14 critical health factors including nutrition, exercise, and tobacco and alcohol use."
https://chadd.org/advocacy-blog/new-research-suggests-untrea...

ADHD is an extremely harmful condition. You are more likely to end up in jail, crash a car, suffer from diabetes, smoke etc. than neurotypical people. 9 to 13 years in life expectancy, I mean, wowzah.

And opinions held in society or groups obviously have an effect on individuals. That's how social systems work.

Build from scratch. First one will be hard, but it will get easier.

Recruit college kids, they can take a lot more risks and less pay. Happy with bunkbeds and ramen. Spend the money on blingy hardware and entertainment. Need more workers, they’ll recruit their friends for you.

Worst case, they have to go back to school with a lot of experience.
So have the government explain the risks of sharing personal data with corporations and then punish companies after the fact rather than preemptively.

I don’t understand why I shouldn’t be able to make an adult decision about taking risks with my own personal data.
Prudent approach, gives time to define more finely how, when and what it is used for etc.

After all, seems a fair few laws are a loophole away from enabling more crime than the law prevents. So a step back like this, does so in balance towards the consumer/people over government/business.

But like many things, there will always be exceptions and those that will take exception to them, which is fair as that is how democracy works - equal voice and often it has taught us that whilst today their may be a small child at the back questioning things, there may be more tomorrow and the next day. Showing that all questions need answers, this is a good start in enabling that. Will the public engage and have their say heard, or will the EU pull for pubic say and what balance will play out. We will know over the years and be great to see how far that goes 5 years from now, once the ban has ended, or been extended.
@dang: please note this user is constantly spamming self-promotion links to his site.
I feel that the law needs to have more customization due to power imbalances than it does today. Google cloning a startup's product should be less legal than a startup cloning Google's. A low-level employee should have few restrictions on planning a startup while employed, but a senior exec making millions has more power to stay unemployed for some time, a greater insight into his employer's business, etc, and perhaps should have more restrictions on the same. But business law doesn't usually have any such calibration for situation, the way that criminal law does where they take into account who you are and what situation you are in to determine a punishment.
Yeah the madrasa funding from S.A and others is a real poison pill. As a Bangladeshi, it was really disheartening to go through the countryside and see poverty in villages with oppulent mosques.

Designer here. Author makes some decent points, but misses the mark elsewhere. The post reads like a "developers idea of basic design tips."

- This post only touches on visual design. Important, but just a subset of what "design" is.

- Dribbble is very "artsy" and not typically as focused on practical product design. I personally dont think its beneficial to spend time there, unless like the author states, you're interested in emerging visual trends.

- The author doesnt mention the foundations of design, which is disappointing. Spacing, alignment, visual hierarchy. affordances, etc. If you're building an app without a designer its far more important to understand those concepts than how to design a logo.

My advice, depending on how much time you're willing to invest:

- Read "Dont Make me Think" by Steve Krug (2.5~ hour read)

- Read the first half-ish of "The design of everyday things" (4 hours?)

- You may balk at the length of those reads, but I promise you, spending one day to learn design fundamentals is an extremely valuable use of your time.

Common mistakes I see developers making:

- No attention to spacing consistency

- Not creating enough space between unrelated elements

- Not aligning enough things

- Weak visual hierarchy

- Misusing radios vs. checkboxes vs. dropdowns, etc
That's actually a good extreme showing the difference. Tracking literally everyone all the time would require a huge number of police if done manually. And with that many police, you'd need police to track the police because they are people too. It gets ridiculous fast. With tech, it actually becomes feasible.

Rackmount doesn't mean server. My understanding is that the main reason they are offering that option is that many recording professionals want to be able to rack the macpro with all their other equipment which can then be placed outside the recording booth or put on wheels to move around with all the other equipment.
> So, if, as a woman, you raise a problem in a space that's mostly male (like pretty much all tech spaces), you'll get a bunch of suggestions of trivial things to try (that you usually already have tried)

Can you give like 3 examples of this happening on HN? (Since the original question was about what the difference would be to HN), or for example StackOverflow? I mean the basic interface of those websites does even show the gender of the account, dies it? Why would the answers then be different dependent on the gender?

There's no harm in those attempts, but they are annoying. Even with fail2ban there is extra stuff running, unnecessary connections, junk in your logs. The benefits of moving SSH off 22 for your personal, internet facing servers outweigh the negatives.
I would consider myself good with following direction signs and being in traffic in general. However, I find that roundabout very confusing.

What makes it confusing is, I think, the overhead signs in the roundabout. It would be easier without them. Because the arrows pointing up also points towards the incorrect exit at the same time due to the round nature of the road :)
The one thing I consistently do in emacs that shocks my coworkers -- is running this (custom) function, that I call "arrayify":

(defun arrayify (start end quote)
"Turn strings on newlines into a QUOTEd, comma-separated one-liner."
(interactive "r\nMQuote: ")
(let ((insertion
(mapconcat
(lambda (x) (format "%s%s%s" quote x quote))
(split-string (buffer-substring start end)) ", ")))
(delete-region start end)
(insert insertion)))

What it does: Given a list of strings separated by newlines (commonly, something copy-pasted from a table) like:

josh
sam
jed
C.J.
toby

You select the text, and run "arrayify". You can optionally provide a quote character and, in about half a second, get to:

"josh", "jed", "sam", "C.J.", "toby"

This is incredibly useful for taking lists of IDs, or email addresses, or whatever, and transforming them for pasting into documents, or emails, or "in" clauses in SQL, etc.

It is unbelievably useful.
Get plenty of sleep the night before, try to get some form of aerobic exercise daily, start working on whatever task you need to focus on within 30 minutes of dosing (ideally before), stay hydrated, turn off notifications on your phone and block addictive sites, wear noise cancelling headphones.

> However at work, I often find that I feel like I can't write unit tests before starting code because I just don't know how it's going to get built until I start poking at the code. I'm not sure how to break out of this

You'd start with shallow functions and quality asserts. Initially, you'd have broken tests, you have to write code to fix them, and that's your TDD.
Sadly we are the niche generally - if an appliance has its firmware done right usually there is no need for another software package and few wish to program for such packages.

An open source hardware very standardized and modular serviceable model would probably be a decent analog to the domain - it would commoditise the parts and help counter the nicheness in terms of economies of scale. The rarity of people who know enough to roll their own appliance design is probably one of the biggest obstacles. It isn't like 3D printing currently.

Apparently even manufacturers who are advantaged by logistical simplicity apparently already regularly tweak the yearly designs based upon cost advantages.

I suspect that ironically technological advancement could eventually make fridges better that way - thermocouple based copling has had a slow but steady upward trend line. If it keeps up then a bunch of cooling thermocouples, electronic thermoneters, a power supply, and a few microcontrollers/a Raspberry Pi descendant in an insulated box could put it in more traditional "hacker" skillsets.
Everyone here is speaking like there HAS to be a backdoor for the messages to be auditable, forgetting that they could modify the application to abide to some sort of device management strategy that uploads a backup to some server when connected to a LAN for example.

Signal already gives encrypted backups with a password you see one time when setting up. I imagine you could easily modify that to lock the app with tye Android administrator shenanigans, and then periodically upload incremental backups.

The messages would of course remain encrypted but the key would be in the IT administration's hold.

I believe the end-to-end part of Signal is very interesting if you consider the whole NETWORK to be hostile, but that both ENDS are friendly once authenticated.

I can see a very FoA-friendly implementation of this.

It always seemed kind of stupid to me that they would spend billions of dollars to reinvent another wheel. It's like saying "Physics are good and we could add some more research and engineering for our case, but no, physics is opensource so let's make our own physics"

Hot code reloading. It was one of the best decisions I made when I added it to a hobby project I've been working for the last six years. Most of my development time for this project is spent adjusting code while the app is running. The feedback loop is incredibly tight and the most engaging of all of the projects I've ever worked on.

I'm working on extending auto reloading to all of the assets in the project because I know that tight feedback loops are that important.
I'd love to hear more as it doesn't match my experience. Among the oh-so-many IM apps I use, Keybase is my favorite as it's transparently cross platform, isn't tied to a phone [number], and the usability is good IMO.
"Because you asked why" => "Because you don't already know" => "Because it's exhausting to have to explain this all the time" / "Because I want somewhere to practice, not just places to teach."

At least part of it is the same reason you might want to hang out with people already skilled in your disciplines: you get to go do the advanced stuff, instead of getting the other people up to speed.

Edit, presuming some things:
You know how it's really annoying how all your non-tech relatives think you can solve all their weird tech problems, and you have to spend all this time explaining to them you why that's annoying, or why it's nice to hang out with people that don't do that?
