Ask HN: For those who have ADHD – Inattentive Type – how do you overcome it?
A friend who is a psychologist came to warn me about this problem, which I possibly have and discovered only now in my 30s. Reading all over the web, I can say that I have ~ 100% of the symptoms since I was a child: inattentive, daydreamer, unable to follow instructions given, etc. All my teachers in my childhood always complained that I was never paying attention to classes.
Unless it is REALLY REALLY important (like to turn off the stove), I often forget something I was asked to do if I don't take note. Man I'm just shocked, that I didn't have any clue, my whole life, that this was actually a mental condition.

Since I'm now WFH, In my dayly job I'm just learning to take notes of everything in meetings, because that already lead me to a lot of problems in the nearly past.
I recommend the retrotink devices - specifically the 2x PRO and 2x SCART which are very simple, very tightly focused devices.

I have an RGB modded SNES connected with 21-pin to (modern HDMI) and it looks amazing.

If you have more exacting requirements or want a lot of configuration flexibility the OSSC may be a better choice but if you know exactly what your input/output is and it is supported, get the simple retrotink device.

The "rest of us" are centrist moderate neoliberals. Hating them all is perhaps the one thing Red and Blue can agree on.

Also, Big Social Media is even more ad-funded than traditional media, so your comment applies all the more to it. Do the math.
Companies are paying the increase in productivity to the professional-managerial employees who are actually more productive because of technology, scale, etc. and not to the masses whose productivity is the same as ever.

Even when we talk about redistributing this increase, we mostly talk about redistributing it from the professional-managerial employees, who populate the higher personal income tax brackets, not from the companies themselves (corporate tax) or their owners (wealth tax). If you are right that companies and their owners are pocketing it, then we are looking for it in the wrong places. But it seems like it really is largely going to the PMC.

My "favorite" one of those is Mercurial's error when you use a subcommand that you need to enable an extension for. Not only does it know the subcommand is valid, it also tells you which extension to enable. If it's gone all that way, why not enable the extension automatically?

I have five monitors. When it works, it's great. The other 5% of the time it's a giant pain in the butt. I don't know why this part of macOS is so incredibly buggy. It often forgets the arrangement, the HDR setting, and the refresh rate.

I wrote a little program to detect when it breaks and set it back, but they don't have APIs for refresh rate and HDR so it's only a partial fix.

I've half a mind to take a job there, fix it, and quit.
It's easy to find Democrats talking about the importance of fatherhood, and that's backed up by public policy: for instance, a goal of Paid Family Leave is ensuring that fathers have time with new children, not just mothers.

It's harder to find Democrats extolling the virtues of two-parent families. But that's no surprise: "two-parent family" is coded right-wing, and politically involves not just the importance of kids having two parents, but also of pushing back on equity in the workplace for women, or benefits for single parents (and, if you go far enough back, say to the 1970s and 1980s, towards liberalized divorce laws).

So I think the claim that liberals avoid talking about family values fails. They use different language than conservatives, but that's just how politics works. You can exploit the semiotics of political messaging to paint either side any way you want, but the idea that liberals are opposed to two-parent households is inconsistent with what liberals advocate for.

An appeal to what gets shouted down on Facebook groups† also isn't persuasive. First, note that you didn't get shouted down for saying that fathers are important (which is how you'd code an appeal to two-parent child-rearing --- single-parent households in the US are overwhelmingly, like >85%, led by mothers). But also: Facebook groups are cliques. There are popular Facebook groups in Oak Park that would ban you for arguing against abolishing the police. But defunding the police failed on our last ballot by something like 70-30. Biden carried our precincts overwhelmingly; by a far higher margin than Cook County as a whole.

Finally, for all you're saying about the downwind effects of elite liberal take-havers saying it's OK to pursue single parenthood, in context what you're trying to say is "violent crime statistics that prominently feature Black people is a natural consequence of liberals de-emphasizing two-parent households". I'm sorry, that's plainly false. None of the circumstances this thread talks about have anything to do with BLM talking about people being raised in part by aunties and grandmas, or anything said on Twitter.

I said upthread and I'll say it again: it wouldn't be fair for me to try to paint conservative thought by what Sohrab Ahmari believes, let alone Marjorie Taylor Greene. But that's effectively what you're doing when you suggest that BLM-Facebook-thought defines liberalism. Liberals overwhelmingly believe in the importance of two-parent child-rearing.

† (As someone somewhat active in local politics, I'll add that Facebook is deeply problematic --- it stands in for public comment and discussion, but provides none of the safeguards of open meetings laws. There's also a trend towards municipalities outsourcing this kind of discussion to platforms like Granicus, with the same problems: private entities can control public speech, which is fine until they become the government's own formal mechanism for collecting feedback. It's a whole can of worms.)
If corporate IT isn't okay with you installing third party window management tools, I can't imagine they'd be thrilled to discover you're running some oddball OS inside a VM on your corporate machine in order to hide unvetted third-party software.

I was expecting you to take a stance - either trains or planes, but your response was even better and painted a comprehensive high level picture. Thanks for taking the time. I agree with all these points, perhaps though I would challenge us about carbon-emissions with the following: If we want to progress as a civilization, is the idea to regress in and save energy expenditure in the short term; and/or in the long term become a space-exploring civilization with no limits on consumption? We kind of have an unlimited source of energy (the Sun) and if we could, we can do a lot more. Once Fusion is solved, we will have the ability to sequestrate carbon to offset everything we do on earth. I hope to see a day where talks about being miserable to save energy is completely out of the equation. Electricity and all forms of energy would be too cheap to meter for an average human.

It would be amazing to see humans build a large scale fusion reactors and Dyson spheres around the sun and never have to think about energy consumption :).

At the same time, I think we all should be disappointed in our approach towards energy production. We shouldn't have to ration it. Successful governments should be responsible for running sequestrators on tax funding.
Sorry, Brexit is clouding my judgment. I should have said Continental Europe! ;-)

That said, to be fair I found the UK track maintenance pretty good although trains weren't as punctual as they were in most of Europe. Likewise, the carriages/comfort was somewhat primitive compared to most of what I've experienced on the Continent.

I have to say it's quite some years since I've traveled on British Rail and I understand things have improved considerably in recent years (one only has to watch Portillo speaking to camera from a UK train carriage to realize that).

My worst (and repeated) experience on UK Rail was the horrible Gatwick Express which was often notoriously late (especially the time when it broke down midway to the airport and I missed a flight to New York and lost a whole day in the process).

Perhaps my most memorable experience—it's what always first comes to mind whenever I think of rail travel in the UK—it's the horrible apology for a cheese sandwich that I was offered (and at an enormous ripoff price) on an 'overnighter' from London to Edinburgh (I've witnesses, they suffered the same fate). I can't say I've ever eaten a worse one.

Presumably, the latest food offerings have also improved somewhat since then.
Abortion has been around for a while and no one's out there trying to abort pregnancies in their last trimester. I don't think everything is necessarily a slippery slope.
Sure, PV solar panels lose 0.5% of capacity a year. Coal plants also require regular maintenance and replacement of bearings, boilers and turbines. Not to mention landfilling the ash produced by digging up rocks and burning them. Nobody has figured out a source of perpetual electricity that does not produce solid waste. If that happens, it would be real exciting.

If China was the sole-source of steam turbines and enacted a export ban we would also be in trouble. But China isn't the sole source of coal plants, turbines, or PV solar panels.

I'm not saying earplugs don't help at all, just that it depends on what the source of the noise is. For me, the noises that are most stress-inducing are extreme low frequencies that vibrate the building, and earplugs don't seem to help much with that.
The whole thing is PR speak. What they're leaving out is that they don't want to pay senior level pilot salaries anymore so instead of hiring back experienced pilots they are trying to run low hour pilots through the farm to get them into their airline.

I'm running 3 external monitors off of a laptop and for me macOS is much more consistent about putting the windows in the right place, I don't even have to plug them in the same order. When I try to do the same on my desktop with nvidia surround, all of the monitors need to be plugged in on boot in order for it to "remember" the configuration.

In the grand scheme of things, you appear to be in an extreme minority.

> It still bothers me that I can't cut and paste folders by default.

I think, if you were to start from 0, drag and drop to achieve movement is easier to "get" than cut/paste to/from some invisible aether.

But, I still agree with you. I don't really understand who the target audience of macOS is. It seems to have a better starting point for someone starting at 0, but there's an increasingly steep curve up from there. Ffs, just look at the keyboard shortcuts, and the fact that app expose is disabled by default ("where did my window go!?"). Then, as you said, you're quickly in the terminal, where that learning curve goes vertical for a bit.
Is there evidence of this? If not, seems like a weak syllogism.

I'm still sad about the Gen 2 Pebble Time not being released. It solved the (few!) issues I have with the V1 Time. And I use the word have - present tense - purposely because I still wear my Time daily and have 3 in reserve in case it dies. The Rebble project and battery replacements have kept these devices relevant and for what I want out of a smart watch I still haven't found a better device.
I don't think it is safe to say that more independents means less partisanship. If people are going independent because they see themselves as somewhere between Rs and Ds, then sure. But if they go independent because they think the Rs are not right enough, or the Ds are not left enough, then that is only an example of magnifying partisanship.
It means you're Donald Knuth and you've just released TeX 3.
> In the US the division is arguably worse and the masks are coming off.

You sure about that? As recently as 1995, Canada was with 0.4% of a vote to split the country in two.

In the 1970's the deputy Premier of Quebec was kidnaped and murdered by Quebec separatists.

In 1990 the Canadian and Quebec governments used the military and authorized lethal force to put down an armed rebellion by the Mohawk tribe, after a Canadian court allowed the development of a golf course on native land.

Just because Canada is largely ignored by the American and International media, doesn't mean that everything is lovely and everyone is sitting around singing kum ba yah.
You're not wrong. If anything, much of the most glaring political and cultural fiascos of the past decade were just exaggerated echoes of the previous decade.

Of course. Because by definition you’ve sacrificed the short term and the long term for nothing. But I don’t think anyone here would debate that so I’m not entirely sure what you’re getting at.

I'm looking forward to the improved editor experience as gopls is now workspace-aware.

There's a couple of repos at work which contain multiple Go modules (each in their own subdirectory, with their own go.mod files). It's a bit of a pain to get LSP working correctly for each individual module if I open the root directory of the repo in my editor.

> 100x missing the plan either means extremely poor planning or they screwed up something very very badly.

Like most airliner accidents, this is probably an unfortunate combination of both of those things happening at the same time. My guess would be they have fairly decent planning overall but there's one (or more) small-ish areas where their planning is extremely poor - which crossed over with a screwup in a very specific fashion that laser focussed on that particular piece of poor planning. The "this can never happen" immovable object and the "You can't do that" irresistible force.
Google Rebble, they have full guides and software updates to keep your devices going. It's not a huge community but it's pretty dedicated.
Errr ... because they're commercial operating systems, with the expectation that software is not just universally available for no cost?

The respective stores for macOS and Windows are changing this, but there's a 30-ish year history of needing to register and pay for your software, so having it all just _there_ still isn't really a thing.
Are you intimately familiar with modern life in the US and (Germany/Canada)? Because divisions you see from the inside might not be obvious from the outside.
The problem is that lots of things don’t do automated cert management still. Network devices, ILO boards, older servers, Tomcat servers, all kinds of stuff still has to have certs manually managed, which means monitoring and renewing them by hand. Fortunately, the number is getting smaller by the day, but even once it approaches zero I think we’ll continue monitoring just to make sure the automation hasn’t failed or skipped.
I agree. While I admit that I have only lightly used macOS but for my last job I find it hard to get used to this multidimensional switching. I think it might have made sense where you had a few documents and a few emails and a few folders. But now I have 3 browser windows and 3 terminals and my brain can't get used to the fact that a video call window is in the same group as my reference docs but my text editor is in a different group with my build output. Maybe I should use a different terminal emulator for my editor but that just seems like fighting the window system.

Or maybe after a couple more years of macOS and I would get used to it.
Thanks! That is a wonderful read.
IANAL, but IMHO a soft 'deleted_at' timestamp along with a daily cron job that hard deletes everything with a deleted_at older than 24 hours would fall within the spirit of the law.

I agree that just having a deleted_at timestamp and old entries are never pruned would not be a good faith interpretation of the law.
That’s also how you have a market oversaturated with products competing for the same upper middle class 20-somethings.

I feel that you view his acts of murder as inseparably linked to the manifesto, and that people can not accept manifesto to be true, while condemning the murders.

This ignores the possibility of a completely pacifist implementation of the manifesto's ideals.

My understanding is that a significant portion of it is not necessarily a call to violence, as much as a call to action. It states the technology and collectivism should be rejected, and this could be either a violent or non-violent process.

Since the start Homebrew installed in /usr/local instead of a dedicated directory (which it now does); it literally always had a worse design than the earlier systems Fink and MacPorts. The only reason people used it is that it was written in Ruby and at the time there was a generation of new Rails developers that for some reason only wanted to use tools written in Ruby.

I had this notion when HDMI was coming out that soon we might have the display of one device windowed into a larger display, like Picture in Picture but arbitrary.

Might have been some ideas stuck in my subconscious from the likes of Total Recall, but it seemed like we would be hitting a point where we stopped wanting to upgrade all of our devices every time we got a bigger TV with more resolution. We still see situations where we have monitors that we can't drive at full resolution and frequency from a single cable. So why not window in a 4k 60-120Hz feed and fill in the 'background' with a low frequency display (eg, a wallpaper and an information radiator), say 10k at 24Hz.
Keyboard shortcuts are IMO superior to gestures and are objectively faster.
