> And it's my opinion (and totally just my opinion) that starting to treat ADHD usually leads to a weight gain, either by getting you more able to exercise or increasing your activity and caloric intake.

In my experience, it's totally the opposite. More exercise, more activity, and less caloric intake... leading to weight loss.
Yes, of course. As you said, there is certainly a spectrum between "profit at all costs" and "fixed growth" or similar constraints. That is easy to visualize.

I find it interesting and even inspiring that some economies allow entrepreneurs to make this kind of choice. That is not my reality at all. In South-America, we grab every chance we get and don't let go. There is much less opportunity.
Went to my therapist. Explained my symptoms. Took a few tests, got a diagnosis, fiddled with medications and dosages for a while, did some more therapy, and I seem to be in a good spot now.

Obviously, YMMV regarding the effectiveness of your treatment. I'm still sometimes up and down but the baseline is higher. Even if you decide not to take medication (it's not right for everyone and I won't pretend otherwise), do seek therapy. It's so incredibly helpful.

Every year around tax time I find myself looking to replace Mint, being unimpressed with the competition, and wondering the same thing as I import the previous year's mint csv into a spreadsheet... Why isn't there an open source set of tools for us to do this for ourselves?

Considering how many people seem to use Mint just to download the CSV of their transactions for Excel or whatever, I'm surprised there isn't some sort of open-source scraping tool (or set of scrapers) meant to be used by developers (and normal people) that will simply grab data from your bank using your credentials and save them into some sort of standardized format.

The standards of such a tool would revolve around standardizing the inputs (url and auth) and outputs (structured financial info).

The obvious answer is that I should start it ("...2nd best time is now"). Unfortunately, I don't have the time. I suppose that's also the answer to the larger question.

> but I'm sure that 2030 will be kinder to 2020 hardware. In the same way a 1995 laptop is far less capable than a 2005 compared to 2015. I think they could make that commitment.

I’m less optimistic. I live in Mac land. We had a sweet spot in about 2010 when computers were good, and lasted really well. I don’t think I’ll see 10+ years out of today’s Macs, or many of my other purchases, and I specifically buy things to last.

Another interest of mine is coffee, and looking to upgrade the espresso machine is depressing. Too much computerisation and plastic. My 20+ year old machine and older grinder are really hard to beat and are nice to work on, and even at significant cost I don’t think it would be an upgrade. Instead I’m looking backwards at 60’s and 70’s machines. How did it get like this?
Google Maps ingests public data feeds that anybody can use and many other transit aggregators do use: https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs

This is much the same as AMP, which any link aggregator can use and many link aggregators do use, and dissimilar to something like Apple News API, which requires direct integration with Apple.
The problem is a little more complex, given that Sonos continued to sell the old Play:5 alongside the new one at a steep discount for a number of years. I purchased one in 2016, sold as new by the company, which gave me a good 3 years, but if you don't pay attention to such things as when it was originally released, would be infuriating news...
I encountered this myself after responding to someone's comment about the Universal Basic Income (UBI) concept, and got spammed with negative replies.

Thanks! Hmm. I tried to answer but I'm still finding it unclear. Can you rephrase with less abstraction and more verbose specifics?

Edit: It might not clear what I'm not finding clear. It's not clear to me who you're referring to in the first sentence, or what "get" means in "get the requirements", or what you're referring to when you say "the requirements". It's not clear to me what the "that" is in "that's what's not clear to me". I don't understand what you thought I should have clarified but didn't. I'm not sure even how to begin approaching your last sentence.

I really do think that a more verbose rephrase would resolve all these.
I would expect schools in impoverished, troubled neighborhoods would cost QUITE a bit more than schools in wealthy neighborhoods in order to get the same results.

The students are more likely to be facing food insecurity and odd parental schedules at home. The school may need to spend more keeping their student body safe. And one kid with a violent parent who reacts by being violent in turn can wreck havoc on the rest of the classroom. That kind of person might need an education that is more therapy than academic.
They know the drill. Sounds like they were just being jerks.

My home theater receiver (Denon) supports ChromeCast and AirPlay.

It has an RCA output for “Zone 2” which goes to the whole-house 8 channel amp.

I already had the receiver in my living room for my 7.1 audio setup for watching shows/movies. So it didn’t cost anything to hook up the Zone 2 other than a $10 cable.

I vouched for Cecja’s comment below. If you don’t have a WiFi device which can output analog audio and receive AirPlay, you can actually rig something up using a Raspberry Pi and open source software. Since there’s nothing to configure ever after the initial setup your family shouldn’t have any issues using it - it should “just work”.

If you want to be able to play different streams to different rooms, I think you could even do it with several RPi’s each as their own AirPlay target, and then each wired to different channels of the amp.

My assumption would be that it's whatever the darkest shade of black representable is - so 0x000000 in rgb. However that can't really be read as a distinct value in an analogue signal, maybe it's some kind of "sufficiently out of range" value so as to be distinguished from legitimate colors?
It would be shoking if there were no differences in the brains of people with ADHD behaviour.
Your brain regulates your behaviour.

No one here is saying that ADHD is not real, well I am certainly not. What is being said is that ADHD is not the cause of behaviour, it is the behaviour.

I agree and bots should be banned... Now that we're passed the perfect being the enemy of the good, I'm also quite concerned about, instead of bots, just paying some people to have your opinion - that's also a problem we're definitely going to need to address since if you subsidize the cost of living of someone who agrees with you then you can basically turn them into a 24/7 advocate for your point of view. If that person happens to live in a remote part of the third world then the actual out of pocket cost to subsidize them could be a negligible portion of your earnings.

> dealing with packaging that can deal with differences in distros, systems, and drivers

"Differences in distros" is easy to fix: only target one distro (e.g. Ubuntu), and let users of other distros figure it out on their own. This has worked well for Steam's Linux ecosystem.

Dealing with "systems and drivers" is the exact same problem as exists on Windows.

I don't think it's underrated, but I do think that there is a gap between massive data and an idea of what to do with it.

And data is simple, it's parameters plus timestamps plus a lot of storage.

Realtime access is harder but it's a well-specified problem.

The issue is inference. No one does inference extremely well except in limited circumstances. It's one of our greatest bottlenecks as humans and our software is going to be limited by it as well insofar as our understanding of what to build is controlled by what kind of inference we want.
IDK about Wikipedia, but Reddit's builtin search sucks. Google is better.
Yeah, exactly this. The original comment misses a key point: speakers have been the same for decades, but Sonos did add magic sauce that builds on top of that legacy... multi-room audio. I'd argue that's worth the investment, and it's a really great improvement to the audio experience. That's hard to achieve without re-wiring your entire house, and arguably worth the risk/bet on Sonos, which has had a historically really good track record with these things.

Wait, what? I thought the volume buttons on the Apple TV remote were infrared... (while every other button works via Bluetooth)

Try covering the little black area at the front of the remote and you’ll see what I mean. At least in my case the volume buttons stop working.
Async-await in Rust has made asynchronous programming a joy. It's no wonder that programmers are refactoring as fast as they can to support it.
"Premature optimization" was happening a lot more in my head than on the screen. By that I mean I would waste time struggling to succinctly generalize a function instead of making something work the easy and ugly way FIRST. It is far easier to copy paste working code in 4 places and leave a nice comment on each about what could be probably consolidated... without actually doing the work at least until you come back to the code to make a minor change in those 4 places. Half the time you never come back, most other times you end up merging them within a week. And for outliers... good commenting saves the day.
> Dark brown is not the ugliest color, the ugliest color is magenta.

That's just, like, your opinion. Beauty is subjective and the only way to declare something the ugliest, in some general sense, would be to get the subjective opinions of many people. This is presumably what was done in the market research for Pantone 448 C.

Also, magenta stands out. That is a likely reason why it was chosen as a transparency placeholder, rather than just being "ugly."
Great. Now do zuckerberg. Perhaps inarguably more mass destruction.

I can speak for my organization: we're understaffed and have shitty regression infrastructure. Even if some blessed soul on GitHub does a ton of good work, we still have to schedule code reviews, which is hard enough for internal staff, let alone external.

We do get to them, it just takes months. Just like our own INTERNAL pull requests. :)
Reddit/Wikipedia search are an order of magnitude worse than Google
I agree with others here - if you're working at a FAANG you have it pretty good. They likely value free time more than the ability to try to build a side project.

I'm looking for a project myself to work on - email in my profile if you want to reach out.
Google launched a service consumers preferred. What's the issue? That they have a sustained competitive advantage?
You are right, scratch that and I will try this again. I meant to say:

I have configured and used mu4e on a GMail account and another account hosted on Microsoft Exchange Server (MSE).

The Linux based email client I had tried before mu4e for MSE account are:
* WebMail (Outlook's less capable younger cousin on a browser)
* a slew of Linux UI email clients like Thunderbird etc.

I disliked all of them equally. However, using mu4e for emails with Outlook/MSE account makes doing emails less painful and less distracting. However, using mu4e as a mail client for Google accounts may not be preferable if you have bought heavily into the Google ecosystem. I have had trouble with things like Google API authentication on Emacs.
You're right. Any psychiatrist that prescribes Adderall will tell you that it affects those with ADD differently than those without. Personally, I have never gotten high from it. In fact my medication made me drowsy as a child.

A lot of the medical advice in this thread is dangerous. If anyone reading this thinks they have ADHD, seek a qualified professional's opinion - they aren't guaranteed to be right but (respectfully) the odds are much better than some dude on HN.
Well I threw one in my own compost bin in my backyard before learning, since the bag didn't include fine print. I thought it was bio-degradable but apparently I need to do my research on each individual item. That's my problem.
If this is a small enough company (say, <100 people), I suggest bringing this up with your CEO.

I've dealt with turnover as a CEO and it was stressful and painful for me as well. Whenever employees would approach me with concerns during such times, I'd be relieved to (a) know they care about the company, (b) want to do something to help it rather than quit with everyone else, and (c) trust me enough to actually discuss + fix things.

... and if you don't feel like you can do that with your CEO, then that's part of the reason people are quitting.
You're right. I regretted posting it shortly after.
But now so do your troops if they're anywhere close!
Entirely speculation, but governments will soon have (if they don't already) the ability to extract the answers to yes-no questions from subjects via fMRI or something similar.

It'll be interesting to see whether this capability moves out into the law enforcement community.
You're making it sound like non-Windows users are paying less, when in fact, they're paying the exact same amount as Windows users. There's really no need to demonize macOS or Linux users.

No color is ugly in isolation.

That also works well in Emacs:

C-M-% runs the command query-replace-regexp (found in global-map),
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘replace.el’.

It is bound to C-M-%, <menu-bar> <edit> <replace>
<query-replace-regexp>.

(query-replace-regexp REGEXP TO-STRING &optional DELIMITED START END

Replace some things after point matching REGEXP with TO-STRING.
As each match is found, the user must type a character saying
what to do with it. For directions, type <help> at that time.
Companies routinely demonstrate that they're often willing to do prohibited things. And this seems like the sort of thing that would be very hard to prove.

In the US, only health insurance companies are not allowed to use genetic data to increase premiums or deny coverage, at least for now. I'm not sure what the rules are about using data derived from genetic data, however.

Life insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance etc companies are allowed to use genetic data to determine costs for policyholders or to deny coverage[1], however.

That fact alone is the reason I won't hand over my genetic data to a third party.

> Do you continue paying yourself rent after the mortgage is paid?

yes, in a sense. The fact that you're not getting paid a rent from somebody else doesn't mean there isn't value. You could think of it as opportunity cost - owning a property but not getting rent from it.

> And how is the rent "income" not offset by an equal rent expense?

it is exactly offset-ed if you lived in that property.

For some folks wellbutrin/bupropion can be used to treat ADHD. It is schedule IV so access is easy and generics (I think generics kinda suck for me with this med) are very cheap. Does it work as good as stimulants? Nope, but its certainly easier to get and can help some people.

I feel going to a GP to get a very restricted stimulant is a uphill battle. Go to a ADHD specialist psych. Despite having diagnosed ADHD since I was ~6, my GP looked at me like I was crazy when I explored getting back on meds. I went to see a specialist instead.
The "advanced safety" option is auto-braking and lane departure warning. All onboard sensors. That doesn't require phoning home.

It's supposedly possible to turn off tracking. There's a "privacy opt out". That means you no longer get the "Monthly Vehicle Report" emailed to you.[1] The question is whether it really means that communications with the mothership stops. Companies lying about opt-out is common.[2][3]

driving schools likely have far more customers, a constant influx of customers based on age, and driving (in the US at least) is a necessity, and thus supplies the market. I'm also just spit-balling here: the cost of a tech company's upkeep is FAR MORE than that of a driving school's
While I get what you're saying, "most people only go to Paris once" is a very odd analogy to use in this case. Paris may be a tourist destination, but it's not a tourism company. :)

In any case, I think the caveat to what you're saying is that the sustainability of a business proposition that many people only do once (or at least, do comparatively rarely) also has to take into account the cost. Very people take a Jeep tour of the Grand Canyon, but the Jeep tour company is almost certainly a very lean operation compared to 23andMe.
