I have it, have had it since I was a kid, and it's moderately treatment resistant to boot, so I'm acutely aware of how much it sucks, and I wear it with pride. I don't take pride in my depression and mood disorders.

I think the big distinction, and what TFA is getting at, is ADHD actually is more like a true neurodiverty than a disorder. The dysfunction largely manifests due to the constraints in the modern world. I love making things but I hate "adulting" - bills, paperwork, keeping 9 million small things in order. Were I living in a hunter-gatherer or early agrarian society, things would be different.

I'm able to offset bad prioritization skills by being really good at breadth-first search and having a huge knowledge base from curiosity driven rabbit holes when I should be doing my "real" work. It feels much more balanced than depression, which just sucks the life out of me and reduces all aspects of quality of life across the board.

I wonder what the “weird cancers” rate is like in LA. I grew up in a pulp mill town… renown for having too many kids getting cancer. I imagine LA must be similarly affected.
> This scenario that OP describes happened for me, and presumably for OP as well. It doesn't happen for all, or even most, people attending college. It only happens for the right people who attend the right college in exactly the right circumstances.

That's quite a number of college attendees (graduates?) standing on the shoulders of a single personal anecdote.

I'd estimate an equal number received prank phone calls their Freshman year from inebriated idiots fascinated by the length of their Sri Lankan roomate's name as it appeared in the student directory. (Yes, a physical fucking student directory!)
This needs to add a caveat. Current users will almost certainly prefer the older API. Newer ones are more likely to be hesitant about dealing with a tangled mess.

Also, most documentation of APIs is nowhere near good, so intuition matters a lot.
Stranger Things and Critical Role also played a part in growing the player base, I think. At least in my current group Stranger Things helped motivate people to start playing.
It literally says:

Relationships are based on shared experience.

Face to face(rather than virtual) and high stress leads to greater reaction - either like or dislike depending on allegiance.

College studies are a stress. College kitchen debate - sometimes trite, sometimes rigorous, sometimes hilarious seeded a lot of friendships. But only seeded.

A fallibility for the sense of "belonging" in modern life is replacing "repeated physical presence at X time" with "virtual anytime".

To "replace" the college experience schedule something that puts people physically in a similar space, at a regular time, with a goal. (See also why some people make friends at work.)
Can you suggest some YouTube videos you have liked on this subject?
The challenge is that in the modern commercial landscape, this "third place" often simply doesn't exist. It's economically inefficient.

At least in the parts of the US that I've visited, coffee shops either fill up with people working solo behind laptops, or they're chains that maximize turnover by making furniture scarce and uncomfortable.

The pub is usually a bar with multiple huge televisions and blaring music. In a bar, I'm usually completely unable to follow a conversation at all.

"The club" usually means a fraternal organization like the Elks or the Kiwanis. In most areas, these organizations have long ago aged into being irrelevant. And where they haven't, they're usually very conservative and very insular.

Among the places I've lived, two used to have "community hubs" that died and were never replaced. College Park, MD, used to have a coffee shop called the College Perk in an old rambling house above a highway underpass. It closed down after an electrical fire. Cupertino, CA, used to have another place called Coffee Society. It was the kind of place where regulars met to play chess and have discussions. It closed several years and stands vacant to this day.
I may be wrong since this article is from 2018 but it seems like Netfix uses React for everything but their homepage [1]. Facebook uses it's own framework since, well, that framework is React. But their framework isn't some special-purposes framework built for Facebook's purposes either, it's a general purpose framework, used by tons of companies including Netfix. So I don't think many web tech companies are going to find success building their own special-purposes front-end frameworks, like some earlier comments seem to suggest.

...And Austen Allred's Lambda School (or however they rebranded to escape the terrible publicity) will 100% teach you how to do that and nothing else, for $30,000.
I should point out that most Thiel fellows have already completed college and were doing graduate studies before 20. They're not high-schoolers.
Not everybody on this site would make a good programmer but if I picked a random person here I would have better results than if I picked a random person from the rest of the population. Choosing to spend personal time somewhere like here indicates a few personality traits.
I agree with all this, but if that survey is reasonably accurate (and it's a big if, sure) but the true number of prescriptions is significantly less, it stands to reason that that suggests widespread nonprescribed use
For a company who sells phones, it's a pretty good one.
If you can't continue to provide and maintain the v1 API backend because its approach and assumptions were chosen badly, that's also a way to fail.

HN is full of 100% black or 100% white theses that are the equivalent of guerning youtuber clickbait. Most of it is true under some conditions and false under others... it would be better to put it that "Sometimes you have to pick if v1 or v2 of your api is more likely to kill your project".
He's written a few. Damnation Kane, the story of a time-traveling pirate, is my favorite:

https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Damnation-Kane-I/dp/138779...

> Damnation Kane: Irish pirate captain, born in 1650 to an English Puritan and an Irish druidess. Through means mystical and mysterious, somehow Damnation finds himself, with his ship The Grace of Ireland and his crew of scalawags, in strange seas. His ship damaged by battle and by storm's fury, Captain Kane and his men seek a safe harbor; in the process they make dangerous new enemies, and tensions among the crew worsen. Because they do not know where they are, nor how they came to be there. Is it Hell? An undiscovered country? The land of the Fae? No: it is Florida. In the year 2011.

The novel isn't D&D swords and sorcery, but my second favorite scene is fantasy-like, where Kane's druidess mother casts an elaborate spell in a desperate attempt to contact him across the sea and centuries. (My favorite scene is where the pirates invade a Home Depot, and the guy with no thumbs swinging chains attacks a table saw...)

D&D definitely played a role in developing his narrative talents. Amazing game.
Not sure that means Go "can deploy to a $5/mo host with a zipfile without needing wade through Docker, Git, the command line, token management, etc."
It's not really saving time, this was an enjoyable article worth reading. That's a bit like telling us the ending of a movie as a way of saving us time.
The part I always struggled with regarding 4. is that if printf() didn't exist, it's not like it bundles its own compat library. It just errors out, with a very similar error to what a user would get if they simply tried to compile the code that called a library you didn't have. This "pre compile test" didn't actually add anything to the picture.
WSL is a Linux virtual machine. I'm developing low-latency audio & video software, I'm not going to have my users run it in a VM and require them to install WSL ... So MinGW it is (which is just a port of the GNU tools to windows and a free reimplementation of the windows API headers - the called code is still the MS's "universal runtime" shared libraries so it really does not change anything in my case except more sanity and final binaries faster than than the MSVC ones)
Or tell whether the app you are viewing / downloading is "compatible" with your devices like Google Play Store, right.

Also for instance, when I try to install certain apps on the Early 2011 MacBook Pro that I use, there are some apps that have a block/stop icon on the bottom-right of the app icon itself that indicates that it is either not compatible or would not run the the device (It's good start).

But IMO, What Apple is doing is great and it has something to do with Security and Privacy to some extent. Imagine, there is one app has not been downloaded at all or have few downloads for the course of 12 Months for the past 3 years feels like it's a shady app waiting for a victim.
The point is that we shouldn't consider screwdrivers to be demented hammers even If you are a hammer like most in your surroundings.

If a game map is small (there is not much time for development before you are destroyed) and/or resource-poor then being Wizard is certainly a disadvantage compared to Necromancer (it is a "disorder", wizards are "demented" from the Necromancer's point of you).

Maybe I'm cynical, but I thought portable devices would have been more practical by now. How about your phone becomes a keyboard/ mouse and your ipad a display? How about a REPL app, or IDE, or better yet, an Apple-default app that serves a VM environment of any desired language? Pie in the sky.

With the iPad Pro release, Apple says "we want to give you a productivity device" while ignoring that their ecosystem is an ecosystem of toy apps and social-networks.
What I think many here don't understand is from a big tech POV (certainly my experience) Jr swe hires (new grad, L3 at G) barely break even for you, not that much better then interns.

You really only want to hire people who will make it to Sr (L5) in a few years. That is the level where they are fully self sufficient and don't need constant support from someone more Sr.

The perception (that I share) is that most (not all!) boot camp grads that interview as well as new CS grads still have less long term potential to make it to L5. They have done great learning basic programming on their own. Few will go much past that (compared to CS grads).

Do you ever feel like they are just weird manifestations of the accumulations of various stressors in life? Perhaps, there is nothing /neurologically/ different -- at least not to a significant enough degree? What then?

I am not trying to be all woo-woo about this, but we live in a time where technology, and not just recent technology, has propelled us far further than we ready for?

I had trouble sitting still and learning in school, but I was able to fake it enough to learn quickly enough to make it through undiagnosed. However, I still caused various other problems i.e. class clown with good enough grades to not get in trouble. Still, I always found school to be tortuous and stressful (I still would if I had to go back).

However, I like to take a step back when things that bothered me like what I mentioned above start to creep back into my mind -- If I were born 100, 200, ... , 9900, 10000 years ago, how much disorder would I have likely faced? I wouldn't have had trouble focusing in classrooms when there were no classrooms for the below average to average person like myself. How would my life have been? Would I have been 'normal?' If so, then maybe... I'm 'normal,' now?

I cannot speak for mental disorders, but I hope my fellows can find peace. We didn't choose this system, and this system doesn't care about us, but when the sun goes down, the moon comes out. I feel like I have a duty to myself to enjoy life, normal or not, because really... It's not like anything life matters anyway.
I have many games and apps built for older versions of Windows that do not work.

How is this forcrd obolescense? This has 0 impact on those who already have the software downloaded onto their device.

It's worth noting that Google do the same thing on the play store.

It seems your issue is less about the facts of the matter at hand, and more broadly a dislike of Apple.

Consider what happens when I say "the 'n' word" - do you think of a racial slur in your head? If so, because I do in fact mean the slur but I am not allowed to say it regardless of context, should I have just said the word to begin with anyway? Am I free from obscenity because I used a euphemism and you are a racist for thinking of the non-euphemism? The mental burden concept is iffy here.

Nah. We had stuff that was better than C++ for a long time. (C++ has improved over time, but so have the alternatives.)

A large part of C++'s staying power is due to status quo bias. So in that sense you are right, if you take 'significantly improved' to mean improved enough to overcome status quo bias.
Unfortunately, this type of abuse is essentially only acted on if you either (a) cause some kind of problem for ops at the VPS company, or (b) the victim tells on you. Even then, the absolute worst thing that will happen to you is your account will be closed. There is just no way on the modern internet to investigate/prosecute these kinds of things. That's why one of our primary goals with the free Cloudflare plan is to invert the problem: make DDoS go away by making it it free to mitigate.
That was fun! Showed some caveats to "I have cloudflare so I'm fine."
The problem with legal discussions on HN is that for every strained metaphor, you can make one in the other direction.

I buy some milk from Albertson's. Am I now responsible for their corporate debt? I buy _all of the milk_ from Albertson's. Am I now responsible? I buy all the milk, the veggies, the building that holds them, the delivery trucks. Am I now responsible?

The point is that it isn't patently absurd in the same way that the opposite isn't patently absurd.

I would imagine that Lucas owned the books, even if somebody else wrote them. And there is a royalty agreement, of course. But there is a possible context-free explanation that is at least logically consistent.

The way the company buyout example works is that the company sells all their assets, then you have litigation/bankruptcy proceedings that use the money to make employees and owners as whole as possible. Employee work products are owned by the company, there isn't some unbreakable link there by default (beyond some natural rights about being able to say you are the author). But in that model, of course, if there are a lot of useful assets, a lot of money is then in the bank to pay out the employees!
It's not just OO. It's also making things safe by default, and getting rid of a lot of accumulated jank.
Honestly, the emotional regulation component is one of the biggest things for me, as anyone who has ridden with me driving could tell you…

But learning to see it as an executive function disorder that really touches on a whole host of other cognitive functions beyond just attention has been a real game-changer for me in terms of conceptualizing the disorder. It makes it more overwhelming on some level, but it also helps to explain many of the struggles I have beyond just paying attention (which, as we know, often isn’t the major problem we face).
You can do something like OOP in Haskell or Scheme, without being imperative.

But yes, most OOP incarnations are imperative.
Understood, but the point I was making is that I would not associate the word hose with vacuum unless someone else makes the connection for me.

I guess the broader point I’m making is the same as others have said. It’s a poor measure of creativity as context is important. A word on its own doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing to you as it does to me.
Yes! (And it seems like many others agree with me.)

To be clear, I do recognize that the Google one is "stylized" in a way that is not going to appeal to everyone. However, I claim that there is something objectively (or almost objectively) wrong and upsetting about the Apple style here. If you're going to do the whole "3D render" style, you simply have to do a better job than Apple has done here. As I said in my OP, it looks like a poor model from a mobile game or a early 00s DreamWorks film. It's simply not good enough work, regardless of whether you like "realistic" emoji art or not.
There are some pretty deadly games out there.

Dungeon Crawl Classics has its own special concept related to death for character-development purposes, known as the Funnel.
I think this is a good analysis. He has an incredible set of talents, they just aren't the same as Steve's.
Thanks for sharing! This is incredibly relatable. One of my hallmarks has always been intensity. I rarely half-ass anything, and when I do, it's almost astonishingly mediocre. But normally it rockets between obsession and extreme apathy. Emotional reactions to anything are always 200%.
My field is cyber security, not development, but I feel like I get to "fuck around" with computers all day. I'm so lucky that I have a job which I enjoy so much that also rewards so well financially. I still pinch myself when I think that people actually pay me to do this for a living.

I deal with a lot of work that's really similar to puzzle solving. "Why did this occur? Is it normal behaviour or malicious?" and then I get to do deep dives trying to figure out why something happened. If I find malicious behaviour I get to go into incident response mode and boot out a bad guy. If I find a false positive I get to do some engineering to figure out how to avoid this while still maintaining the purpose of the original rules (while also minimising system overhead for the rule processing). The kicker is there are a LOT of companies willing to pay me a LOT of money to do this. I'm so incredibly lucky.

I assume you're keeping extensive notes as well, right?
Any reason, it turns out, was good enough; each reactor not built is one that won't cost another $billion to dismantle.

Fusion, as currently conceived, will never happen, so that's OK. If D-3He or p-B11 ever works, we will need it in the outer solar system, and we will owe him for laying essential groundwork.
I still think what happens is that they started out on a mission of "we're going to democratize AGI access!" and then shortly thereafter, the not-crazy people managed to convince them what an astoundingly terrible idea that would be.
I can see it from that perspective as well. I’m not trying to be cynical either; I don’t doubt that in many cases, with the right support and personal growth it can absolutely be a net positive. Perhaps over time it’ll be a net positive for me as well.
any unique insights/thoughts about said robot you'd be able to share?
Disclaimer: I work for DigitalOcean.

We at DigitalOcean tend to see a lot of SaaS builders on our cloud. We obviously are smaller as compared to the big 3, but in our experience most people starting out with an idea don't really need all the bells and whistles.

Price-competitive, performant, and easily-automatable IaaS (compute/network/storage), and some managed services on top of it, are sufficient for a vast majority of builders.

What happens when the characters reach max level? I’ve played campaigns that lasted a little over a year and once we reached 16th level or so, combat rounds in 5e became excruciatingly slow. I imagine it is very difficult for the DM to balance that, and even more so for them to provide the feeling of increasing power to folks who have been in the game for some time.
Hate to be that guy, but can such articles be unambiguously titled e.g. "Is the US in a silent Covid wave?"

Thanks for sharing, I really appreciated the last half. Good thoughts generally One downside I think after reading here is that there is some wacko in the first half of the post that I feel compelled to comment on a few things.

Hyperfocus is a symptom of ADHD proper. Stimulants can also make you feel hyperfocused. However, the general reported effects of stimulants are a feeling of "normalcy", not hyperfocus as a result of stimulants. Many people taking stimulants are still symptomatic, albeit managed, meditation long term is generally an excruciatingly (if excruciating) adjunct to stimulants.

Second, Adderall often gives the feeling of superfocus and speed to neurotypical individuals but has been statistically shown to give little gain in practice in terms of certain raw metrics. A very strong dopaminergic placebo, as it were. I'd suspect the reason for it being considered effective is that it keeps you glued on tasks for significantly longer than otherwise . It's not propaganda, it's science, you can look at the studies yourself, it's pretty drastic. However there may be another layer on top of that that that could be propagandizing what is otherwise a valid scientific distinction.

Much agreed in the last half, I've seen a lot of subclinical dissociative like disorders fall into ADHD, or DPDR, when really there is probably a core condition and several other families lumped in. Such is always the curse of dimensionality reduction. A more root-cause preserving descriptive language set that doesn't rely on the anchor of billing codes would open up the scientific fields a lot. Language determines nomenclature, which determines assumed avenues of exploration. A dimension reduced model of mental health along symptomatic axes will almost always destroy symptom and condition "root cause" linkage. Additionally like you noted anxiety and depression are more symptoms of traumatic disorders and less actual disorders in and of themselves. My pet theory is that's one reason why "depression" is so hard to cure, imagine trying to generically cure "fever" instead of making vaccines, etc.

Ramble over! I think (especially later on) we think pretty similarly!
It seems more likely that the majority of iOS users (and likely Android users too) just don't care.

I would be shocked if > 20% of Android users manage their own music library rather than using one of the standard music streaming services.

You've picked on iOS (incorrectly) for not being able to playback FLAC, then shifted argument. The point was proven that you don't need to buy into Apples ecosystem for this.
