> a lot of the way in which we talk about ADHD is from the perspective of those around the person, rather than the person itself.

This is something that I've been very frustrated with recently, because it's really spot on. A lot of that is because it's a neurodevelopmental disorder, so most people that identify it are parents/teachers/caretakers doing so in children. And so the material is targeted at them.

I feel like it's only been relatively recently that there's becoming more resources available aimed at the people that have it. The disconnect between the experience of those behaviors and how those behaviors may be perceived is...quite large.

re: attention deficit -- it's a horrible term because as you note, there's not always a deficit. The real issue behind it is that there's an inability to regulate attention...so if the brain wants to engage with something, that's what it's doing. likewise if the brain doesn't see any value in something...it'll go to great lengths to avoid it like the boring plague that it is.
Opal 1.4: Ruby 3.1, performance, and bundle size
my favorite source on both ADHD and ADD is Dr. Gabor Maté. i've learned so much from both his free lectures on Youtube, as well as his book 'Scattered Minds'. the blurb on his website has some great points:

"Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder – published in the U.S. as Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates And What You Can Do About It – is written from the inside by a doctor who himself has Attention Deficit Disorder. It offers a completely new perspective on ADD and a new approach to helping children and adults living with the problems Attention Deficit Disorder presents.

- Demonstrates that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible impairment, a developmental delay
Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy—and why

- Shows how “tuning out” and distractibility are the psychological products of life experience, from in utero onwards

- Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors

- Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood

- Presents a program of how to promote this development in children and adults alike"

this is an author and expert definitely worth exploring.

I don’t know why all the NATO aligned nations haven’t fortified Taiwan to the hills already.
I agree that everyone has things they would rather do, but I wasn’t exactly talking about useless things. Difficult or boring tasks are super easy for me if I’m passionate about them. (Rebuilding my website, dealing with customers, etc)

I am by no means trying to generalize ADHD, just sharing my personal experiences.
I was thinking that it was engineered because Assad refused to allow Qatar South Par gas pipelines from criss crossing his country on its way to Europe. The arreas occupied by ISIS terror group in Iraq and Syria were actually areas meant for South Par gas pipelines. South Par gas would have freed Europe from Russia energy dependency.

If we abolished MIQ then Aotearoa NZ would be riddled with COVID, many thousands or tens of thousands would have died, many many more living with chronic conditions and the economy and society crippled.

As it happens less than 50 have died, each one a tragedy, while I’ve just had a lovely Christmas with 3 generations, as many others are around the motu.
Sure we had to video call relatives in other countries, but their lockdown conditions today were far far worse than what we have here.

Our society has decided that nobody should die from COVID. That’s still the right answer.

There were free MIQ slots 2 weeks ago.
They never made sense. They are made by calculating the price * shares in circulation. If you had to do a moment-in-time sale of the company's shares the "real" price would be the integral of all outstanding buy orders for the shares up to the total number of actual sales. So a "reasonable" valuation that "does not take into account the future of the company" would be somewhere between the two (you'd never realistically drill that far into the buy orders without more buys showing up). Of course such a synthetic measure of valuation is equally stupid as the simplistic one we use by convention.
No. It is not normal. Forget about work for a second.

I have people who depend on me. I am responsible for their livelihoods. I have to get rest, wake in the morning, do chores, shower and groom myself -- you get the idea. What's the alternative? That's not a world I want to live in.

A thought experiment I use often is: imagine I hired a personal assistant to help me with mundane tasks I struggle with. They start and take that burden off of me.

Is this a good thing? Am I going to be able to improve or overcome my disability now that someone is doing that for me?

Imagine that the personal assistant is a volume knob. Why would I never have that knob turned all the way up? Could I even bring myself to do it? If I could, where would I set it? Other than the extremes, what is the healthiest volume?

I know what would help, and I know what I need to improve, but finding a balance is next to impossible.
Isn't it actually against Google's policy to show different content to the crawler than to actual users? I might be misremembering, but I thought at one point this practice could get you delisted.

> I'm sure some of them have half-decent customer support.

You would, sadly, be wrong.

Microsoft customer support is "least bad" among the email providers.

That is a massive indictment of email providers, but it is what it is.
One more point: I predict in 2022 that sites stop allowing Google to index their content via bot. Paywall sites are going to ride that business model all the way down in flames.
I don't fully know everything about the MIQ program but it seems like citizens can compete for spaces on an equal basis and this adds the visa applicants to the pool. So while it reduces their chances of being picked from 1 out of x to 1 out of (x + y) it seems like it's still fair?

If the MIQ program is similar to some citizenship programs where you get points for things and this is giving them as many or more points than just having citizenship does, I would agree it's unfair.
I disagree that they could have done this just as easily. One person can only guard one way.
Sorry, hacking a paywall is just helping to kill the parts Adwords didn't kill.
I own a smartphone, but I think I've done some things that make me relatively immune to the sort of addiction that others experience, and that I once experienced myself.

Back in 2014 I decided to stop using Facebook for a month. Don't ask me why. This was back when Facebook was far more compelling. Then a month turned into 3 months. 3 months turned into an entire year before I decided to log back in.

But this time I wasn't compelled to keep using it. I was immediately bored, put it down, and did other things. The addiction never returned once I had take time to experience a life that doesn't require being connected in that way.

My attitude towards social media and tech were permanently changed. Most of what I do on the internet and my phone today is purposeful. I do sometimes use Reddit but only if I'm interested in a specific subject; I don't ever scroll through my home page mindlessly. For years I've put my phone into "Do Not Disturb" mode so that only phone calls from people in my contacts can ring through, and every other distraction is completely silent. I will go several hours, sometimes over a day not checking my phone for notifications. Depending on how important an email or text is (most of the time they're inane) I will reply when it's most convenient to me rather than on the spot.

Not owning a smart phone is one way to go, but I've found it possible to live with my device without it ruling my life.
Honestly, the entire MIQ program is a gross violation of the bill of rights and several international treaties. So I don't think the rule of law goes very far in NZ as they seem to just handwave it away and most people in NZ couldn't care less because of the fear they have from living reasonably isolated for the past year and a half.

NZers should expect to be on the hook for at least a few class action lawsuits for damages. For example people who have watched loved ones die on a video call because they haven't been rightfully allowed back into their country.

It's going to cost in the long run but the dust hasn't settled yet. I'll be joining up for damages and a few months extra living costs placed on me before I could get a MIQ spot.
Relatively few children? Citation really needed.
Do you think MIQ will stop community spread in New Zealand forever? If not, then all of those bad things will happen anyway, but by not abolishing MIQ, all of the bad things it causes will happen too. And if everyone were locked in an isolated room from birth, nobody would ever die of any contagious disease, but clearly that's not the right answer.
That sounds familiar, in fact it happened to me this week. I’ve been thrown under the bus quite a few times by letting little things pile up.

How does excessive resource usage mean their product is unstable? It's a pity if the performance is bad, but I would think stable means there are little to no major breaking bugs that get in the way, and if they do an IDE restart usually fixes things.

I wonder how much of that might be due to under-diagnosing. Perhaps people presenting with ASD traits are more likely to be seen by a psychologist, and therefore more likely to get diagnosed with ADHD at the same time? (of course, it could also be the reverse of this)

I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was a junior in college. I kinda knew I had it for some time before that (my ACT score vs my GPA was a good starting point...), but managed to survive without feeling the need to get treatment. Interestingly, I do have a sister and two nephews on the autism spectrum, so perhaps there are common genetics at play.
For real, the challenges that ADHD presents at work are nothing compared to what it does at home with a family.
It’s is the same rule? Once you have a visa, you apply for MIQ. These visa applicants getting into line like everyone else.

If you’re talking about the visa itself, these rich folks are getting approved through an immigration pathway approved by parliament. Nobody is taking any shortcuts here.
They say Google is conducting internal deals with Pinterest that foster such behaviour.

I suspect Medium.com and Quora to be in the same boat.

A properly built wood framed house can last 500 years. The key is moisture control.

US home prices are high due to the property value, not the value of the structure. Wood framing only contributes to 10-15% of the cost of a home.

You don't necessarily need a license to build, you just need a permit. If you're going to live in the house you're building, you can do the electrical and plumbing yourself (which typically needs a licensed worker).
Funnily enough that would make the world more secure since a security problem found in one logging library might not be a security problem in another logging library. So you have thousands of firewalls instead of a single point of failure (the shared library). Making it very expensive for the attacker.

ADHD and ASD share some overlap, but they are definitely not the same disorder.

ADHD is an executive function disorder and you could usefully label it as being deficits in these skills:

* Delay your responses to situations long enough to come up with a good and controlled long-term plan
* Pattern-match past situations onto the present situation to guide your current response
* Mentally tell yourself what to do and have it stick
* Manage your emotions towards your long-term interests
* Imagine and evaluate multiple possible future outcomes

There are other ways to describe it - e.g. I didn't mention short-term memory - but this is the flavor.

ASD is completely different. ASD is (I believe) a predictive processing disorder. Normal brain processing involves each layer of the brain predicting what the lower layers will report, and "blending in" all of the minor mistakes in the predictions. Large mistakes are literally surprising and uncomfortable, and push the brain to learn (i.e. change its predictions). Normal brains are constantly ignoring small prediction errors and are very tolerant of ambiguous, uncertain, or new situations. An ASD brain cannot blend in the minor mistakes as well, so it spends a lifetime perpetually surprised and overstimulated by every event that is even slightly unpredictable, and is fairly intolerant of ambiguous, uncertain, or new situations.
Not many do for Linus Torvalds though!

We pay for a handful of inexpensive channels, get an incredible array of shows for a fraction of the price we used to pay for basic dish. It's awesome.
Exactly. And the people maintaining it would be paid to do it. Instead of complaining about nobody paying them.
A few years ago I momentarily set mine to Spanish just to see how it worked. Now, once every few weeks I randomly get a Spanish response. 99.9% of responses are English, just the odd ball Spanish one. I'm never going to file a bug report; it makes me smile. Part of me thinks I keep using it because of this.
Because countries that don't have that rule also don't have a bunch of other important fire safety rules.

> I would feel extremely comfortable banning those head coverings from all universities, if not all public venues.

Good thing you're not in a position to make such a call then.

> Religious vestment simply has no place outside of ritual occasions

The Hijab is not merely a "religious vestment" as the seculars and atheists foolishly seem to think. It's a way of life, a way of showing purity and piety.

> Acknowledging religion as something that deserves any sort of deference by the State isn't acceptable. And I say that as an otherwise religious person myself (don't take it as the stance of some rabid atheist).

I'm going to assume you're a Christian, and I'm not surprised, your religion has been relegated to the sidelines when it comes to anything relevant in terms of running society. And they convinced you to keep it that way.

Let me ask you this: do you have an issue with homosexuals and transexuals showing their propaganda in public?
> My professional experience has taught me that proactive empathy can be more harmful to a work environment than a simple combination of humility and compassion.

This is beautifully put.

> There's nothing more obnoxious than a coworker without a clue, or to-which you're indifferent trying to 'understand you'. Especially if they're tremendously off-base.

I had a colleague try to do this with me, and it led to a couple of the shittiest weeks ever of my career (so far). My self esteem and perception of my own morals were absolutely shattered until I got a better handle on what was really going on.

What really annoys me with ADHD is that it often paints a binary word with people who can focus and people who cannot. In reality it’s like everything else, it’s a spectrum.
"Sprint" is a label. Someone needs to put a lot o effort into describing what a sprint actually is, or people will use the label on things that are not sprints.

With deportation you're probably going to spend a few days in prision until they can sort you a flight out.

Then as other commenters have mentioned, it's going to have some long lasting consequences.

It will make a lot of the countries in the world require you to get a visa before entering (or even transiting), as in apply for a visa, spend 3-4 months dealing with embassies and spending a decent amount of money while you explain what happened and potentially be denied anyway.

This is the part of adhd I never understand. Being bored of a boring job isn’t a pathology or a disorder, it’s normal. Why do we expect everyone to always be excited by and super into every little part of their job? And if they’re not, they must have adhd? Seems weird
Looking for the worst in a city is an interesting option, that is fair. But comparing the slums of various cities in Eastern Europe is almost useless, they are very similar. Yes, they are different than the slums of Rio de Janeiro or New Delhi or Cairo, but I don't see it as value added information.

I remember well the Bucharest when all these ugly blocks of flats were almost new, clean and less ugly; it is not nostalgia, but in most places Bucharest was looking a lot better 30-40 years ago than it does today: the wealthy places are rare and very not original, the average new housing areas are beyond chaotic and the lower end places are actually new, they practically did not exist at that time (not in the current form or shape).
It's hard to imagine how laptops always lasted half a day from 20 years ago, despite plenty of technology innovations.

No it isn't. On many times I've been able to simplify golang code that is dozens of line long into something that is only a few lines long in Java, while improving readability and reliability. This is especially useful when exploring a new code base and spending a lot of time perusing boilerplate trying to figure out what's going on.

People seem to be really mad about bail reform, especially in NY, but I don't understand why.

There are always more people than the jail capacity, right? So no matter who is released from jail and makes a news story by doing something awful, they must have been released because someone else appeared to pose a greater risk at the time. It's a tradeoff using the information available at the time.

So saying that bail reform is the problem seems to me to be saying that somehow, ability to pay is a better criterion than more logical reasons for releasing people. Everything online ranting against the reforms seems to just ignore the idea that there's a tradeoff completely.

Unfortunately, the people I know who care about this, while they can tactfully avoid politics if I do, seem beyond a reasoned discussion if I bring it up. They do know something about police work, so possibly they know something I don't.
