I think you are a bit premature in your assessment. The first month usually works for most people. Later on, you may find that it has no effect, worse, you start developing a dependency. People don't give up medication due to ideals or laziness, many find that the disease is often manageable using less addictive approaches like CBT.

That said, if medications cure you altogether, there's nothing better. But ADHD, unlike other conditions, seems to relapse a lot.
They are also preoccupied with their petty drama, and think that other people care.
In context, it's top-down vs. bottom-up:

Theory driven: "I think anxiety and depression are fundamentaly different, because of writings of Freud, Foo, and Bar"

Empirical: factor analysis of test data suggests anxiety and depression may actually be a single factor, perhaps there is a single biological mechanism underlying both?"
27mg of Concerta, just the same. I haven't tried going higher, but perhaps I'd be curious about it. Suppose I could just take 1.5 pills one day and see how that goes. Started at 15mg I think, and it's the only type I've tried.
As a pale person, I can fill everyone in: it's because I can wear clothing, and since it's a social norm, it's not debilitating in the slightest bit whatsoever.
Enough already. Who cares.
In 1999, I was an intern at a company in India. We wanted to put a machine in a datacenter, and the datacenter admin asked us to set the Administrator password to "password". Turns out that all the other companies that put their boxes in that datacenter did the same. Infosys was one of those companies.

I wrote more about it here: https://tech.bluesmoon.info/2017/04/a-tale-of-datacenter-sec...
> Firstly, we learn an effective self-supervised representation of fMRI data using mask modeling in a large latent space inspired by the sparse coding of information in the primary visual cortex. Then by augmenting a latent diffusion model with double-conditioning, we show that MinD-Vis can reconstruct highly plausible images with semantically matching details from brain recordings using very few paired annotations.

> psychiatric meds you can get on and off safely at any time

Maybe you can get off them safely, but not always easily. My alcohol/drug recovery group is filled with people who couldn't easily get off them, like my friend N., who rather than swallowing his medication (Ritalin?), he crushed it & snorted it like cocaine.
Thanks for the suggestion. I am pretty happy in my current place of employment where I fortunately haven't (yet) encountered this, but I have definitely been surprised in previous jobs where I encountered it despite hiring standards that theoretically should have rejected this type of candidate at the outset. I have even worked with ex-FAANG colleagues who had this approach to development. I have come to think there is only so much you can do to try solve this in the hiring funnel... Eventually people who don't code very well or don't take code quality seriously will slip through, especially in larger companies.

Modern FPGA designs actually work very similarly. You have a high level graphical representation of all the different modules and IP cores you use, and connect their inputs and outputs together using the GUI, but then the actual "code" (VHDL/Verilog/etc.) inside those modules is still written in text form like normal programming languages.
I have a google pay support thread open. 49 exchanges. The features they keep telling me to use literally do not exist. They just keep posting the same canned response and then ignoring my response that the feature hasn’t been implemented. Then it gets passed to a new person who ignores previous happenings on the thread and repeats. It’s the most kafkaesque thing I’ve ever experienced. I’m going to print it out and bring it to court with me (I’m going to have to sue them to get my money back)
I needed tutors for my college Computer Science and Math classes because the classroom setting wasn't enough for me. Add then add in study groups. I needed all of it, from big class to individual.
This is also something that has crossed my mind. In the early days of my diagnosis, it was a challenge to explain that I even had a problem. People would (rightfully) say "isn't that basically everyone?" and I would have to struggle to say "yeah but mine's worse. I'm diagnosed." It was a real drag at the time but nowadays I'm thinking maybe they were right.

Why? The act of monitoring is not inherently malicious. The word malicious has a specific meaning and definition: an intent to harm. A life guard monitoring a pool clearly isn’t acting with malice and yet is monitoring. A store CCTV camera monitoring shoppers isn’t designed to harm but rather prevent harm. So monitoring a webapp may or may not be malicious depending on the intent and effect of how the monitoring is used.
> Are you actually comparing a billionaire CEO who's very obviously trying to use Twitter to pump and dump his investment, to a writer selling a book at a normal price for books?

There is no comparison. Both are totally extreme in their rhetoric and using that as engagement farming for their grift. Either publicly promoting a cryptocurrency or rushing a badly written book without disclosing a conflict of interest after the author's failed blockchain company shutdown which he has been hiding from everyone since the company was killed by blockchains like Ethereum, and Cardano.

> There's no reason to try to "both sides" this.

There is no point in you trying to be absolutist on any extreme side. Either way, both sides will compromise on their delusional ideas; both crypto maxis and skeptics. Only some blockchains are here to stay and the others won't be around.

> There's zero possibilities there. None. This isn't a new thing I'm saying either. We already tried the "print your own money" idea during the free banking era in the 1800s, we've known for that long it's a terrible idea that doesn't work.

The whole of crypto would already have been 100% and totally banned, everywhere a long time ago and the regulators already know that it is unrealistic and extremely difficult to ban and stop all of it. China has tried it, yet crypto is still there despite the 'ban'.

Crypto isn't going anywhere and you know it but refuse to admit it. Not all of them will survive and even the author of that book once admitted that.
it's weird to hate on older generations, particularly when you consider so much of what we use today in terms of algorithms was thought of in the 70s or older. none of that became irrelevant.
the only maybe maybe advantage that younger folk have is that they might use newer languages or frameworks, but then when those go out of style and they only have 1 tool in their belt and you've collected dozens over the years... it really won't matter if they're more proficient in one tiny area.
but let's be real, the languages and frameworks were never the problem to begin with. its the knowledge and foresight to see where things are going to go wrong which you can only get by years of experience
I have a hard time imagining a scenario in which my hard-earned, fully-documented, all-taxes-paid cash, withdrawn from my account can amount to money laundering. But whatever.
This fatalistic attitude leads to the sad conclusion that nobody should ever express new ideas for fear they might be misused. Or maybe you can express new ideas only after you have conclusively proven that they can’t be misused. So… never.

Having an idea and suppressing it for fear of it being misused also doesn’t prevent anyone else from having the same idea. So what have you actually accomplished besides depriving yourself of your own ideas? Delaying the inevitable?

I'm not sure on what planet it's a successful strategy to buy a tech company as the richest man in the world, fire half the staff, then claim that the company is in trouble and the remaining staff need to work "hardcore" to help keep the ship afloat. I'm fairly sure he'll need more than Starlink and SpaceX to reach that planet though.

Even in the current market there are surely going to be more attractive options for most or all of the good technical staff at Twitter than taking Musk's new deal. After recent events I doubt there will be much loyalty keeping anyone there either. A mass exodus seems inevitable.

I wonder if Twitter will even exist as a business in anything like its current form a year from now. Maybe Musk has a bet with Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng to see if he can beat their record for causing billions in economic damage in the shortest time possible.

Something to keep in mind with Nietzsche is that he made enemies out of both Christianity and egalitarian ideology. A lot of the criticisms of him come from these two crowds, and a lot of it is an ad hominem attack on his character

Why do these folks dislike him so much? Because no one saw their flaws and latched onto them as viciously as he did

It's one thing to point out his own fragility and the obvious contrast with his writing, but he never intended to wholly embody the ideals that he wrote about. His goal was to pave the way for others to free themselves from the sickness of the sad passions that these belief sets so eagerly try to cultivate. A sickness from which he himself was not immune

Did you choose the Samsung App Store, or was it preloaded on the device by the phone manufacturer?

Consumer choice is restricted by those anti-competitive business practices I mentioned. Whatever deal Samsung has with Google for preloaded software is irrelevant. If you wanted to install the Epic Games Store, you'd have to go flip that switch[*]

[*] actually, Samsung allows Epic to distribute their store through the Galaxy store app. So that's a bad example lol, but EGS is the only major Android app store I could think of. If anything though, the fact that Samsung allows this is evidence that increased competition benefits consumers. Samsung doesn't have the market position Google does, so they need to make different decisions to compete. Making it easy to install a third-party store without Google's security theater bullshit is good for consumers.
"Forced" is a strong word. I don't think there was anything breathing down their neck to discontinue it, just market forces -- the semiconductor shortage of 2020 probably just pushed them over the edge into discontinuing what was already a low-demand product.

I've always felt like the lisp family could be a potentially killer educational language, with clojure being a good pick for its focus on functional ideas while being a bit more concise (and practical (looking at scheme)) than some other lisps.

Typically, most programmers start out with an imperative language and then eventually learn a functional language. I've wondered what it would be like to learn programming from scratch starting from key functional concepts like lists, map/fold/filter, recursion, and first class functions.

This kind of drawing program also has the benefit of making it simpler to explain some of the benefits of lisp-like languages specifically, in the sense of "wow i'm typing s-exps of the same structure a whole lot, I wonder if i could make it more elegant to type some how" -> macros.

Clojure has one of the heavier installation procedures, with its dependency on java. Plus, getting a decent repl environment takes at the very least installing rlwrap, and at the most emacs and CIDER. On that note, does anybody know of an all-in-one, simple, repl-focused, lightweight clojure IDE, like the IDLE for Python?

CLJS is looking pretty optimal. I only just played around with Maria, but it seems like a really friendly environment, especially the helpfully named functions, autocomplete, and of course the repl. It's overall super polished, 100% already rivals pygame and logo as educational tools which were super fun for me when I started programming.
The article mentions tools for coworking and pairing, which are great tools! (Actually building one too: https://doubleapp.xyz)

However, as another founder with ADHD, there’s something to be said about being able to take the similar tactics we funnel into work tasks and place it into the day-to-day. Scheduling laundry with others, reading at the same time, running buddies, etc. I’ve found that work stuff is usually okay for me. It’s the “everything else” that’s ridiculously hard to do.
If it's any consolation I think we are seeing the flip side of the occasional "EU is gonna outlaw the Internet" thread that happens whenever a new regulation is proposed/implemented.

There is a legitimate issue but the situation overall is much more nuanced.

Folks are saying to practice your fall-possibility-sport where a fall won't hurt as much. I say take it a step further and do focused practice of falling and rolling intentionally. There are a lot of videos on YouTube about how to do so.

When I started long boarding at ~38, I practiced throwing myself into a roll first from a crouch, then standing, then standing on the board - onto grass of course. It helped a lot when I did inevitably have unplanned falls on the pavement.

It's reasonable to expect some level of vetting, sure. It's unreasonable to expect that vetting to uncover 100% of fraud in 100% of cases. A lot of people spent a lot more than $500k in FTX and none of their vettings came up with anything.

I don’t even know where to start with this. Indian tribes are dependent sovereigns. They’re legal entities associated with territories. Membership is based on an ancestry, but that’s true for most countries as well.

That has nothing to do with affirmative action, or ancestry per se. For example, the US has certain treaty obligations to Spain regarding land rights in territory ceded to the US in the Spanish American war. I suspect many of the beneficiaries are Spanish or Mexican. But the right arises from the treaty with another sovereign.
Honest question. Why didn’t he let alemeda fail? He pushed money in to “rescue” it. This money apparently wasn’t enough and it imploded with FTX.

> and a NT wife.

Partner and I have been together for 13 years now. She’s almost certainly on the ADHD spectrum but less severe than me. Things are great besides the fact that we both neglect a lot of stuff that NT folks don’t really struggle with.

But retrospectively, that’s one of the most interesting things for me. I think back to a lot of the previous relationships I had, and the vast majority of them failed due to conflict that I can now see was ADHD-induced. Impulse control and finances, house cleaning, new random hobby obsession, boredom, substance abuse… When I finally realized a year and a bit ago what ADHD actually was and how a lot of my behaviours weren’t typical, I had this very profound moment where it simultaneously felt like all the air was sucked out of the room and everything finally made sense.

Edit:

> You can do PRs from branches in the same repo on GitHub just fine if you want to. Having them in a separate repo makes more sense because 1) it doesn't require the dev submitting a PR to have anything above and beyond simple read access to the target repo

Right, that's my point, though - why is there no distinction between "ability to create a real, actual, complete branch on a repo" and "ability to create a 'fake' branch that only exists for the purposes of diffs for a change request"?

For contrast, the flow I was used to inside Amazon was:
1. Clone the repo locally
2. Make my changes locally
3. Run a command that creates a 'fake branch' on the main upstream repo, which is used as the reference for the change. This works even if I don't have push-permissions on the repo (in which case, I can still push my change once it gets approval by clicking a button in the UI, whereupon a service account will push "on my behalf")

Whereas for Github, the process (if you don't have push-permissions) appears to be:
1. Fork the repo to my own Github account
2. Clone that locally (equivalent of 1. above)
3. Make my changes locally (equivalent of 2. above)
4. Push my changes to my own forked repo
5. Run a command (either CLI or UI) that creates a Pull Request from my repo to the target repo

Sure, it's only two extra steps - but I don't see why that friction has to exist in the first place. It gets _much_ worse if your change is open for a while (which will happen to coincide with the case when you don't have push permissions - that is, when you're contributing to code that you don't own), because then you need to resolve rebase locally and push to your fork rather than just being able to update in the UI (Github UI doesn't support rebase-pulls, only merges).
Someone else on Twitter brought up that there is a chance, and this is a bit conspiratorial, that he is mounting a defense that he is incompetent. To be criminal requires intent. If he is just bad at his job then he is not criminally culpable—at least that is how the thinking goes.

I don’t know what would or would not hold up in court, but this basically sets him up to say, look, “I had no idea and I even said as much.” As long as any other evidence does not contradict that then it would probably hold some weight.
> what you think the code

I agree with that, but it gets to the point where people police all the comments in a codebase deeming them unuseful. I think, especially in a huge codebase, explaining why there is a certain block of code is very helpful to transfer knowledge.
> Maybe you can get off them safely, but not always easily.

You're implying addiction, but in the more common case, people with ADHD can be apprehensive about getting off the meds for the same reason people with chronic pain can't easily get off painkillers, or people in general can't easily get off oxygen.

> like my friend N., who rather than swallowing his medication (Ritalin?), he crushed it & snorted it like cocaine

That's just drug use, not ADHD treatment. I wonder what your friend's dose was? Snorting instead of swallowing is massively increasing the absorption rate, but even then, I don't think you can get high like this, if you just do your regular regimen through the nose. But doing a week or month's worth of pills this way at once, I guess sure?

I don't have the data handy, but IIRC the difference in dose size between therapeutic effect and drug abuse that leads to addiction is ~100x.
