Since i was diagnosed in 2019 (i am nearing my 30's today) it helped me a lot in identifying issues that ADHD was causing and how to work around them. Anger issues, object permanence, executive dysfunction, sensory issues, anxiety became easier to manage, once i became aware of the nature of these issues and how to remove some of the stress related to these issues.

I never got to medicating, because i lived in a country where, any kind of ADHD medication is either illegal (stimulants) or not yet licensed (non-stimulants). There was a third option, sort of a third-line, anti-depressant that had a ton of side-effects, which i decided to skip.

Now i moved to [Northern Europe] and started the process of getting diagnosed here from scratch, since i am unable to transfer my records. Time consuming and expensive? Very much. Not sure that the whole thing will result in anything useful for me, but i still feel that i have to try.

By the way, this also blows your main argument out of the water.
Some climate denialists used this stuff as talking points on why climate change is a hoax.

What bothers me about this kind of material is it's such good material for someone who's not honest for "one upping" or saying "oh this is just another example of [insert phenomenon]". Without looking at the substance.
What you’re not counting, and what most people miss, is that not only are you at a disadvantage due to lack of resources, but there are many people in positions of authority, power, or just plain tenure who believe that accumulated wealth is a reflection of the wealth of soul. If you are below them in birth, and didn’t chance yourself to some higher strata by the time they grace your presence, they tend to believe you belong there and treat you as such. Even in the great meritocracies of North America.
> "...suboptimal considering the capabilities and resources at our disposal..."

Rather than seeing this state of affairs as 'suboptimal'--like a problem which can be optimized--I see this as an expression of entropy. Not something to be solved, but contended with.

> "..people tending to think about certain things only in relative terms is another example in 'the small set'."

Relative thinking as an expression of 'the small set'?? Relative thinking is comparison _within_ a set of options or a framework. In other words someone believes it's permissible to lie or cheat while playing a game, because it's just a game. Harm relative to the seriousness of a game, makes the lie permissible. Whereas any act of deception is a violation of morality. Is this a characterization of your 'small set' behavior?

> 'To me, it is unmistakably obvious that The Problem is with the way the human mind currently works...'

Are you Skynet? There is no 'problem' with the way the human mind works.

> "...and until people are able to realize this, I think we will have to be satisfied with our marginal improvements approach to the world."

Better men than you or I have devoted their life's pursuits to these problems. In the end they are dead and never went to Burning Man or rode a motorcycle or went sky diving or river rafting on the Snake river. HA!

All kidding aside, what compelled me to respond here is your concept of 'small set'. Reading your comments again, I realized that I'm quite fascinated with _small sets_. It's a great pursuit in design to develop this small set. Taking a problem--problem's context, it's relative importance, levels of engagement, call to action, the ambiguity of language, cost of goods, practicalities and possibilities of production, given budget to make an idea reality--by a process of great alchemy and inspiration reveal the _small set_ solution. Designing the _light switch_ of a solution to a problem. This is not possible without 'small sets'. IMHO
> it has been built upon slavery, colonialism and/or cheap imported labour

I sometimes wonder about some of the components we use which are sourced from China. Do they have efficient foundries or am I invisibly benefiting from cheap slave labor? There's such a disconnect between clicking "buy" and it arriving.
I was ranked favorably in a job application once because I had used LaTeX to produce my CV, and had also listed `\LaTeX` (rendered nicely) under publishing & communication skills. You never know what's going to pique the hiring manager's interest. Turns out it gave him a bout of nostalgia for his days at university studying mathematics.
Meritocracy is the illusion that justifies inequality. I think so much focus in the US is on helping giving working class people opportunities to become millionaires, but would be better if it just made working class life less miserable.

I discovered Syncthing last week, and it's exactly what I was looking for: a local server that syncs between Device A and Device B on the same network. No need for a middleman like Dropbox.

This is why I'm leaning towards the Note Air. The Kobo Elipsa is coming out soon but it syncs with Dropbox only.
The main problem with GIMP's name is that it clashes with GIMPS - the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.
The reality seems to be that the more understanding we have of animals, the more we realize that they are more conscious and aware then we previously thought.

Even if it doesn't change much of their behavior, it degrades their health.

The list will just keep on growing, and probably in the future we will look back at what we do to pigs, cows, sheep, chicken, etc and see something despicable and one of the lowest points in human history.
I think this fits parents expectations as well. If you raise your children well, they will have a better life than you did. If you don't, your child is hitting the reset button on their branch of the family tree
I’m not following. What does this have to do with a global population who thinks their five-year prospects are not so hot? That is what the article is about after all.
That's exagerated.

I would tell them "dont get fooled by tales of money. Take care of your body, your relationships, because thats where your wealth is. "
I'd be curious about an example of a country where this is at all a requirement. Sadly I think not even Estonia asks for that, they just work with great central services and APIs.
A counterpoint to this is that the northern part of the US developed exactly because of the availability of cheap cotton provided by slave labor in the south which was crucial for industrialization.

> The interdependency between North and South was more than the direct connection between mass production of cheap cotton in the South, picked by enslaved people, and the success of northern textile mills. Recently, historians of American capitalism argued that slavery was even more tightly connected with the modernizing national and global economy. Above all that the U.S. domestic slave trade, worth perhaps $440m in total and moving more enslaved people (about 750,000) since 1790 than the middle passage of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was crucial in the westward movement of investment together with the development of new financial products including securities, bonds, and mortgages. These historians have revealed how deeply committed many nineteenth century banks, especially in New York, were to the continued expansion of slavery.

Big tech brought it upon themselves. Had they been less greedy, they would have painted smaller bullseyes on their backs.
ADHD impacts my life very much, but I was diagnosed as an adult. I honestly have no idea how I operated pre-diagnosis (and pre-medication). I think about some of the struggles I went through (e.g. my entire educational experience or my entire experience as a founder) and I really suffered in those times.

However, I absolutely agree with you.

Daily stimulants are a frustrating balancing act. Anti-depressants have frustrating side-effects. If I operated well without either or both, I would drop them in a hot second.

I DO benefit from medication to a degree that it has vastly improved my quality of life. I also benefit from therapy and the development of coping tools — in fact, I think anyone who benefits from medication should also seek therapy because it’s SO helpful.

This isn’t really a counterpoint to your experience, but more of a companion-point. Your post doesn’t make me think that you are an irrationally anti-pill person or anything like that. I’m just reinforcing what you’ve implied: treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all (although, at least in America, the medical system sure tries to make it that way). It’s incredibly important for anyone with ADHD to find the right tools for them.
It's not necessarily easy to see, just from general descriptions of CUE, what's possible.

"Germany's Network Enforcement Law, or NetzDG … requires social media companies to block or remove content that violates one of twenty restrictions on hate and defamatory speech in the German Criminal Code," Diana Lee wrote for Yale Law School's Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic.

If Airbnb actually cared they would have invested in their operations already; Chesky giving "a promise to verify the photographs, amenities, cleanliness, and safety of all the listings on Airbnb", which the article notes is underway, is ridiculous -- Shouldn't this be a bare minimum of this type of business before they start operating? Basically what the "safety team" does is how Logan Roy from the show Succession works -- do whatever you want, skirt ethics and laws, and then pay money and have people sign NDAs.
> Starting conditions (where one was born, levels of wealth and opportunity there, one's parents' education and jobs) are shockingly predictive about an individual's future

Where do you think these "starting conditions" come from?

We've lost interest in the long game. The system looks much fairer if you think about your family rather than yourself. And sure enough, immigrants continue to come to the US looking for economic opportunities, which often take the form of small businesses, and then their kids become doctors and lawyers.
Often times it's not even a matter of "grass is greener" mentality but the fact that there is no position to get promoted into because a career tract was never put into place by the organization. The only thing you can do is stay put or do a horizontal jump.

Yes, there are some errors designed for people coming over from C. Similarly, (void)somePointer gives you an error saying "instead of C-style cast, use cast(void)somePointer instead".
I know only as much as is in this article about this particular occurence with the nuclear power station but I can say the CCP's method of responding to potential industrial accidents is deeply reminiscent of the Soviet Union's. To save face is of far higher importance than potentially informing the necessary parties of vital details. I don't imply that this is what will happen here but the constant theater of "situation normal" is how events cross over into SNAFU without anyone knowing the cause in a timely manner.
Is this the reality at least in Europe? Especially with regards to people not leaving parents' houses, marrying much later, having less kids, and generally having less disposable income.

There always was some upward social mobility and that is usually called IIRC a safety valve. Very bright and fortunate can come from rags to riches, but honestly there are very very few. But from what I remember from my sociology book, the large majority of people stay the same or, go to +1 or -1 social class level (if there are about 7) compared to their parents.

As someone with software background and interested in bio, it's a real pleasure to see a commentary from an experienced practitioner.

While we're discussing venues of progress, it's clear that software (and deep learning advances specifically) is poised to have a large impact on how bio research is conducted, and what categories of questions we'll be able to answer. The current consensus on how you leverage software in practice is to put both bio and software teams under one roof (Insitro and Recursion are canonical examples). I wonder if you think software-only company makes sense in this space? The analogy I like to use: people used to roll out their own accounting software within large enterprises until spreadsheets came along. Is there room for an equivalent in some segment of bio?
Scandinavian countries, however, had an underclass, who worked in near-slave-like environments for the benefit of land owners.
It might seem stupid and petty, but this was my single biggest gripe with the year I spent on an iPhone which led to my going back to Android after that phone (like all the others in my life) expired.

The web browser is my single-most used piece of software, and I'd really like to choose which one I use, thanks (Firefox, in case you're wondering).

That and not simply being able to drag and drop mp3s to listen to.
Yeah, my gravel bike was $1000 new three years ago, and comes with "Spyre 2.0" cable disc brakes. Hydraulic brakes feel 1000% better, but I'd still rather have disc than rim. And mine are double caliper.

One thing I love about my brakes is having a second set of brake levers inline on the top of the bar - I believe the Shimano GX (gravel) series has that now for hydraulic. If I ever have to buy another gravel bike, it will have this feature.
I don't think any of these things are possible at any scale that matters. There are a handful of people rich from Bitcoin, Etherium, and Twitch streaming. Then there are 300,000,000 other Americans. Many of them bought high and sold low, or just aren't good at streaming games, and now they're just farther in the hole -- they have an investment account valued at $0, an overpriced mining GPU they bought from a scalper, and a bunch of A/V hardware they never use. The real winners in the gold rush are the people selling pickaxes -- I'm sure that elgato is making a killing selling Stream Decks to people with an average viewership of 0, and someone is sure making money on GPUs. Meanwhile, the people that saw crypto speculation or streaming as their ticket out of here are back to working 14 hour days for $8 an hour and praying they don't get sick.
If you're running 32-bit Windows 10, then yes, Word 4 should work just fine. 32-bit Windows still includes the DOS box and it's highly compatible.

Me, personally, I run IBM PC DOS 7.1 (also a free download from IBM) under VirtualBox, and I run my handful of DOS apps in that.

This is so sad.

Most people in the developed world have so much opportunity. We live in tiniest upper .000001% of wealth compared to all the rest of the humans who have lived ...

And we still figure out how to be cynical, pessimistic, and resentful of the good fortune of others.

It's amazing how much damage a plane can take and still be worth repairing.

During WWII, a flight of P-38 Lightnings and B-17s made an emergency landing on the Greenland ice. After being buried under almost 300 feet of ice for 50 years, one of the P-38s was pulled up and restored to full flying condition [1]

There's countless stories of old warbirds being pulled out of swamps and lakes and being flown again.

Interestingly, warbird restoration became a bit of an industry in New Zealand during the 90's, in part due to a bloke called Tim Wallis [2], who made his fortune in 60s and 70s from live deer recovery (basically grabbing wild deer from a helicopter) and later on deer farming.

He ended up crashing a Spitfire in 1996 (he also crashed a helicopter and broke his back 20 years earlier), which left him unable to walk for some time and permanently unable to fly, unlike the Spitfire which was restored over almost 20 years and is now in flying condition again.

Tragically, a few years back, he lost two sons in separate helicopter crashes a few months apart. Helicopter pilots in New Zealand don't have a long life expectancy. If you've ever seen them flying, it's no surprise [3]. There's old pilots, and there's bold pilots, but there aren't any old, bold pilots...

While I agree with almost all of your comment--particularly strongly with regards to the way Apple has hobbled the web as a competitor to their App Store platforms, but notably also with respect to Firefox being locked out here--given your first phrase, it is worth at least considering the argument that the only reason why there is currently any "competition in web browsers" at all is Apple being a stubborn asshole about the whole thing, as otherwise it feels highly likely that everyone, everywhere, on every single platform, would be using Chrome...
More like it was the collapse of USSR in the 80's and diminished threat of Communism in west that caused oligarchs to be bolder and grab more share of national wealth.
Specially in the last year or two when only select few got extremely rich by loading debt on the rest of society.

I wonder if Amazon's working conditions would be possible in the 60-70s with strong labour unions back then.
Alternativeto is an old player in this game. They, definitely have a better database, but it's quicker to add software on Alternative and we have a complete set of tools.

We are covering website, software, toolkit, code, API, and library. You'll have this detail in the detail sheet. In addition, if you sign in, the comparator allows you to filter by type (for example "software").

Alternative is focusing on comparison tools to make your selection faster. The database is growing but it still new. Join us to make a difference!

The moon landing is nice example.
It would have helped immensely.

The main issues with the upgrade is that:

1. Libraries needed to maintain both versions (or code compatible with both.

2. Projects couldn't upgrade until their dependencies did.

If Python 3 could run old code (for example you needed to write `import py3` at the top of a file to switch) then all projects could have updated their code in parallel, there would be no (or minimal) work to maintain support for old versions and everyone can update to py3 the day it came out. The workflow then looks like this:

1. Everyone updates to Py2.9 which supports the old features and the new features.

2. Everyone migrates their code to use the new features and remove deprecated features independently.

3. Py3 comes out and drops support for the old stuff.

1 is not trivial, but it is equivalent to any other time that you drop support for old versions, this happens regularly and isn't a huge event.

Compare that to the nasty wave of updating dependencies and requirement to continue supporting old versions, especially since the code to support multiple versions was fairly awkward for a lot of projects.
> Sure, you can "hack" your RM2 but the chances that the next official update will then completely brick your device are rather high – /r/RemarkableTablet/ is full of these stories

No... they're approximately 0.

The next update will wipe out your modifications, everything outside of the home directory is wiped, but the device will still work.

People bricking their devices are people actively doing things that brick their devices, not updates coming along and bricking them later.
On the point of slavery, it's possible for a bunch of free exploited labor is a requirement to build the levels of wealth we see now. There's probably also another requirement factor on how you utilize those resources.

I'm not convinced that citing economies in decline with historic abuse of slavery is evidence that it isn't a requirement to some of the degrees of wealth we see now. If an entire economy was based around an assumption was that a bunch of free exploited labor like slavery would exist indefinitely then it disappeared over night and no transition strategy existed for that economy or that economy was further tied to slavery... then it's completely possible to see economic decline. Meanwhile, one could have seen the writing on the wall that slavery was gone and moved their resources accumulated off the back of slavery elsewhere and been more successful.

Colonialism is a lot more complicated because there are more inherent costs that could offset the benefits from an economic perspective so its pretty difficult to measure. Slavery is pretty much a guaranteed 'win' from a business perspective, after all, automation of processes with cheap reliable machines is most businesses current wet dream. I'm not saying slavery is a 'good' thing (it's absolutely not), I'm just saying a bunch of cheap ways to create services/goods you can then sell or accumulate seem like a clear way to accumulate/capture wealth. Slavery was one such mechanism abused in the past (and even today, really).
You can look forward to C++23 then:

Well, that’s why I said it’s unlikely :)! Without purchasing additional hardware it’s not practical to be able to run AirDrop directly on non-Apple devices.

There’s no need to extract any Apple keys to be able to receive files, but the public root key appears to be needed able to send files to an Apple device.

OWL, OpenDrop and their latest project PrivateDrop (https://github.com/seemoo-lab/privatedrop) are linked heavily throughout the series - their reverse engineering of the protocol have been absolutely invaluable in building something that works, more or less sanely on non-Apple devices! Huge kudos to them!
