> my feeling is that ADHD seems over represented in tech

We are overrepresented in tech, relative to the general population.

In the most recent StackOverflow developer survey, respondents self-reported at a rate about double the global average.

> but I don't know if it's because ADHD is more invisible in life outside tech jobs

You almost certainly know or have met people in other industries with ADHD and didn’t know it. Masking is an unfortunate survival skill for most. It’s mentally taxing, and can take hours to recover from after doing it for a day.

There used to be a thought that people grew out of it as they got older. They don’t, they just get really good at masking anything that might indicate they have it.

We’re seeing an increase in adults with ADHD, not because more people now have it. They had it all along (by definition, ADHD is symptomatically present before 12).

> or because there is a relationship between ADHD and being good at software engineering

Software engineering has some of the fastest feedback loops of any creative endeavour, and that really helps keep ADHD brains on task. But I don’t think there’s a relationship between the two, other than people with ADHD have a tendency to go really deep on things they’re interested in—and then subsequently drop it and move on to the next thing.

Software always has a next thing.

People with ADHD thrive on novelty and external consequences.

Agile software teams, infra/ops roles provide both. See also fighter pilots, firefighters, ER nurses, as well as outdoor jobs like landscaping (exercise is very good for ADHD brains).

We also really hate being told what to do, but will gladly solve a hard problem given the opportunity. Software enables that in a way many other jobs don’t.

> I know the topic might be delicate, but I would really like to understand better.

I really hope it’s not a delicate topic. Our brains work differently, but with some accomodations we can fit well into a team. I think there’s a very complimentary overlap with teams composed of neurodivergent and neurotypical people.
Would be great if you shared details. Thanks.

The problem is that somebody half as clever as the development team, can guess a lot from little information, and be right in about 1/10 of the cases. Resulting in "Top Scret" Info guessed right by some poor sob. Which is then proven correct with a raid.

An emulation is a good option which I currently use even purchasing a commercial emulator for ZX Spectrum as well a ZX Spectrum Next modern retro computer. But I'm considering becoming a collector of original hardware. :)
I make microtonal (usually 41 tones per octave) music using a Lumatone keyboard and the Pianoteq synth plugin. Microtonality in Pianoteq is surprisingly easy, given how difficult MIDI makes microtonality. If you divide the octave into 41 pieces, you only get about three octaves per MIDI channel. Pianoteq allows you to use a sweet hack whereby raising the channel value by one raises the octave by one.

Of course, editing those midi notes after they've been recorded is still quite a chore.
I appreciate your sentiment, and trust me I really do want to support people like your friend, but no I literally do not have any money for recreational activities (and if I did I would buy a videogame or boardgame because it would last longer). I make $13.50 / h (which is above minimum wage here in Arizona) and go to school full-time. Rent is $1,000 (absolute cheapest I have found in my college town), groceries are roughly $500, gas is $50-$100 depending on world affairs, utilities are $250,public transportation (so that I don't have to pay for parking at shool) is $50, and the list goes on tbh. I'm lucky enough to have a Prius that was given to me by my family so no car payment even. I'm one of the lucky ones for being in college at all. This is the America that most people live in. Well even that isn't true, I have it way better than most.

> neither for "social justice"

Listen to yourself.
In no way is this a free market. Not even close. There are so many market distortions that prevent a healthy market place from operating. If you recall, the ACA act was supposed to help solve many of these problems by making it more affordable. It appears to have exacerbated it.
I wonder if a crypto contagion could actually help the broader economy by acting as an escape valve. For the past 14 years, the government keeps stepping in to bail out bad bets and keep all the scum floating. But with crypto, it was an an area of the economy that government largely kept its distance from and lacked a mandate. So there will be no will to rescue anything and a full on bank run can commence, destroying lots of wealth. When will then take some of the extra money out of the real economy without having to destroy any traditional business.
It's almost as if the unregulated anti-establishment ethos of crypto allowed this to happen, and allows it to keep happening.
That’s a chicken and egg problem. Break up the monopoly, and the competitors will come.

It’s not like the Google/Apple stores would be hard to compete with. They both have massive, longstanding problems that consumers and developers have been complaining about since forever. There’s a lot of opportunity to innovate in that space, if only it were actually possible to compete.

True? How could it be anything but true. Twitter is a complex system that started when text messages were by and large SMS via a 10 number key pad on brick phones.

While Elon has rough edges, imagine his situation. It's a hostile take over where it's not just the board, but the workers themselves who have bad blood with Elon specifically. How do you manage a company when 90% of its employees are expecting and almost encouraging it to burn to the ground?

It's tricky. Imagine your coworkers were tying to sabotage you and you needed to be able to give them tasks on a large complex project. Even when goals are aligned, small differences in implementation directions can fracture teams. So, I understand where he's coming from.
I don’t think anyone should work for free, I don’t know what the right answer is. It’s a shame when someone doesn’t get paid for their work due to piracy, but also a shame if someone can’t access an important work to them that is free to deliver but they just can’t afford (like a student/researcher, etc). Ideally digital works should be free and donation supported, where people voluntarily contribute what they feel the work is worth, limited by what they can afford. But I won’t delude myself into thinking something like that would actually work.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with that comment. That macOS has an audience? Obviously it does. That the macOS audience is largely unaccustomed to niceties that macOS lacks? Of course it is.

In short: the anger over what happened yesterday is overblown. If a commodity is sellable, people will sell it. The ONLY option here is to make tickets non-transferable, full ID check to verify the name on ID is the name on the ticket

Point 1: Let her sell it on a different website.

Yesterday, Ticketmaster said millions, but it was probably more than 10 million people, logged in to try to buy hundreds of thousands of products. Each product has inventory=1, and you're not allowed to double sell a product. Try pushing this to any other website and it would crash for days.

This used to happen when sneaker reselling was at its peak. People would get angry at the terrible way Adidas or Nike would sell a sneaker, but when the same shoe was sold on a small website owned by some small store in Paris, the website would completely shut down until the owners could convince people via social media that the shoe will not be sold online, ever. Everyone loses. This problem was later solved by all stores either moving to Shopify, who has its own ticketmaster-like system, or just not selling popular sneakers online. Another thing that can happen is a seat could be sold to 100 people, then 99 get cancellations later. Would that make people happier?

Point 2: Bot protection. It's hard. I've worked on reseller/bot protection, you either go too light, and let bots in, or go too strong, and block non-bots. Especially when millions are hitting the website at once, and every seat can be sold once.

Point 3: It's not all professional resellers.

Someone can be a huge Swift fan, but if they see people spending thousands, or tens of thousands on StubHub, and it can pay for rent or half a new car, they'll sell it, even though they're not professional resellers. As long as Swift didn't block transferring tickets, and some rich people are willing to spend thousands, this will happen 100% of the time.

Ticketmaster, to try to fix this, has also attempted to sell the tickets themselves for resell prices, cutting out the middle man. But then people get mad at them. As long as the rich people are willing to pay, either Ticketmaster or resellers will charge them the high price

When you buy a ticket on stub hub, you see the buyers original name. Some times itll be some LLC, but most times its just some regular shmoe looking to make a buck

Right, and granted I don't have a "standard track" school experience to compare it with.

I'm considering both Montessori and non-Montessori for my own child right now too. FWIW the standard school looks fun too, albeit with more structure. I'm touring my old Montessori school in January. Curious to see how it's evolved in the last 20+ years.

It's likely that school just becomes more unenjoyable as "academic performance" takes the place of "child development".

Huh, seemed pretty effective at first glance. It also lead me down a wiki rabbit hole from the dogger bank to similar nearby features, which came full circle with the Cleaver Bank where Greenpeace also sunk some boulders. Except apparently they were removed by the fishers...

The Cleaver bank is in 2015 considered for protection as a Marine protected area. The Greenpeace organisation considered the actions of the Dutch government in this direction too slow and sunk some large boulders on the seabed in May 2015 to increase the nature value.[7] Dutch fishers lifted the boulders on 16 June 2015, because they were afraid the boulders would damage their fishing gear.[8]

The elephant in the room is that many people are vulnerable because they suffer from obesity. One third of the population is obese and another one third is overweight. That’s two thirds of the population who could be significantly healthier if they shed their weight.

I feel that as a society we have moved on from solving that problem and we now treat it as a cost of living, but it’s an enormous dead weight on society.

We all look around for every little thing we can do to reduce our risk of getting sick but we’re collectively unable to eat less. It’s like bandaging up someone who got hit by a train.
Peter Thiel doesn't like it. He thinks he should be 100% unaccountable. Of course, he can just pay his mini-me to pretend to be a leftist and interview him on his Youtube channel. I bet he gets a commission whenever you buy a Girard book.

I am LMFAO about how the "Cancel Culture" moral panic started with the editorial page of The New York Times because the people who write it get paid $10,000+ a pop to give commencement speeches and it is such a good racket that they don't want to lose it. Later on it became a popular cause with the alt-right (which is somewhat consistent) and then the mainstream right which likes banning books, "don't say gay", etc.

I am from the camp that FP code produces much less tech debt then other forms of programming.

But the problem here is that no one here can prove or disprove what I just said. And that is the point of my thread.

In fact I believe tech debt is a fuzzy word that is is ripe for formalism such that we can develop a theory around what tech debt is and how to definitively eliminate it through calculation,... the same way you calculate the shortest distance between two points. I believe that the FP style is a small part of that theory.

But that's besides the point. Because since this theory doesn't exist yet, you and I have no way of verifying anything. You can leave me a code review and I can disagree with every qualitative opinion you leave in it.

> the emulator would just select

What is “the emulator” here? If it’s the original CPU, you’re just trading off some of its computing power to a slower, emulated CPU.

For emulating a CPU, you don’t need a lot of storage, and it’s much faster to use main memory (RAM) instead of using SSD memory. What you need for emulating a CPU, however, is computing power, and only another CPU can provide that.
I fully agree with this advice as to a way to communicate your actual feelings in a sentence. Emojis don't work here, but the difference between

"I have no idea what I'm doing... :D"

and

"I have no idea what I'm doing... :("

is a large one, and having that to communicate it is quite handy.

THAT SAID, to @ccakes -- while I agree with your statement, it unfortunately doesn't help the OP. They specifically said that they have a problem with INTERPRETING comments in the worst possible light. The solution for that will not be to use more emojis themselves -- they would need their coworkers to do so.

He doesn't have to trespass to break the law -- taking pictures from the outside is enough.

18 U.S. Code § 795(a) )Photographing and sketching defense installations): Whenever, in the interests of national defense, the President defines certain vital military and naval installations or equipment as requiring protection against the general dissemination of information relative thereto, it shall be unlawful to make any photograph, sketch, picture, drawing, map, or graphical representation of such vital military and naval installations or equipment without first obtaining permission of the commanding officer of the military or naval post, camp, or station, or naval vessels, military and naval aircraft, and any separate military or naval command concerned, or higher authority, and promptly submitting the product obtained to such commanding officer or higher authority for censorship or such other action as he may deem necessary.

I'm not sure whether protected airspace would count as an installation, but the military base itself certainly would. Per the article,

>> Dreamland Resort, at dreamlandresort.com, started by Arnu in 1999, features YouTube videos taken from drones flown over places around Area 51, satellite images of the base, a discussion forum with posts on the topic, articles on test flights, “black projects” and UFOs, and what it says are photos of new vehicles such as the so-called “super secret” Northrop Grumman RQ-180 unmanned stealth aircraft shown flying in 2021.

Which leaves open also the possibility that they are investigating someone else; eg, someone with clearance getting an ego boost by posting info on the forums, which isn't unprecedented.
Sway and i3 are excellent, but they're clearly not for everyone and I wouldn't recommend them for people new to Linux, or who just want a normal desktop experience.

For a notion of what GNOME ought to be, I'd point in the direction of lightweight environments like XFCE or LXDE or MATE. None of them are perfect, but in my experience XFCE at least was more stable than GNOME.

Lightweight window managers don't provide things like settings for your wifi card (maybe XFCE does now). The point isn't that desktop Linux users shouldn't have a graphical interface for wifi. The point is that this should be independent of the window manager. Same for power management and mounting filesystems and so on. If GNOME provided a clean framework for these things it would be okay. Instead they've recreated the Windows registry.

I tried to learn it multiple times, but something became very obvious to me when I used it in parallel to Q and read J for C progammers : J doesn't have a nice way to mimic keeping states between loops.

The J for C Progammers author divides loops in, I believe, 7 use cases and for that one he ends up using "an adverb" (a high order function) he wrote himself? Why? Because the language default adverbs don't support it.

In comparison, Q had very good support for that. Q also doesn't require learning symbols.
