>People with ADHD struggle to focus and procrastinate often. But everyone experiences this. The usual retort to this is "but I have been diagnosed by a medical professional"

No, the usual retort is the argument that "everyone experiences this" is irrelevant.

It's the degree to which a person experiences it, and the impact it has to their life is what is relevant.

Same as how everyone forgets things sometimes, but not everybody has dementia.

Or how everyone oversleeps sometimes, but not everyone has narcolepsy.

Not to mention that "struggling to focus and procrastinating often" is just one aspect of ADHD. There are also sensory issues, stimming, over-fixations, memory issues, and several other things.

>Whoa, that's a lot of people! 1 in 20 people

Other mental and body issues have even bigger spread. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Check how many people are depressed (way more than 1 in 20), whether they take drugs for it or not.

>the authors state that “no biological marker is diagnostic for ADHD” and that “meta-analysis of all neuroimaging studies do not show differences between individuals with ADHD and control subjects”, thus “no form of neuroimaging can be used for diagnosis of ADHD”.

Yes. Several diseases are like that.

Not everything boils down to "you lack this protein in your system" or "your heart has a blocked artery" that can be seen trivially. Some diagnosis require observation and nuance, instead of a mechanical test, who would have thought?

Some issues occur because of developmental issues in brain connectivity and which brain "modules" overwork or underwork. Those aren't things that show up in blookwork or X-rays. That said, some of the results of that can be seen in brain scans of ADHD vs regular brains, even if we don't know the exact cause of ADHD.

In any case, for most diseases we first see the symptoms and learn to identify them, them later we might be able to find some way to aleviate them, then find some pathways and perhaps ways to cure them even if we don't understand the mechanisms entirely, and only after centuries or decades or research (if we're lucky), we might pinpoint the exact mechanisms. For many medical issues we have neither cures not understanding of causes - that's even for very frequent and impactful issues.

You seem like you gave the thing a few days worth of thought (not necessarily just a few days of actual calendar time, just a few days worth of though), and decided you have the right idea, and others are stupid or in it for profit.

I suggest you go live for a good while with someone who has ADHD and see if what they have is just them "struggling to focus and procrastinating often" they same way every Average Joe "experiences it sometimes", and whether they're just "addicted to their phone".

I just love this comment.
What makes you think that 'idealism' is what produces unicorns? What makes you think startups are about 'dreamers who find it difficult to subsist in a stifling world'?

I feel like you misunderstand startups. Startups aren't machines designed to let engineers do whatever they want. Startups are businesses that attempt to find and exploit oppertunities in the market. Since technology is new, and poorly adopted in many indistries, it tends to be used to do this.

Or to flip it around - you're entirely welcome to spend as much time as you'd like building 'idealistic' software that challenges the 'status quo'. Nothing is going to 'stifle' that.

However, if you want other people to spend thier time and thier resources supporting and helping you, then you need to find a way to convince them. Startups are one way to do that, but businesses are full of compromise and you may not find it suits the idealism you desire.

You can think of most common languages as "lossless" (at least in comparison), whereas Toki Pona is "lossy". Once you translate English to Toki, it loses a lot of granularity. For example...

Translating English to Toki Pona:

Talk -> Toki

Translating Toki Pona to English:

Toki -> To speak, Communicate, Use language, Think, Say "hello"

Which means, it's now impossible to translate it back to English and know which one is referred to, without context.

The language forces you to be less specific in your meaning, but also to focus on core human emotions instead of unnecessary complexity. Having a translator perfectly convert English to Toki Tona is gonna be a lot easier than the reverse, anyway, unless you have a lot of context to piece it together.

Note: I tried learning this language many years ago and this is my personal opinion. It may not be shared by everyone.
This is the time to try your hand at entrepreneurship again. Most private investors I know are investing purposefully right now. Forget VCs and bootstrap - build the future you want - show you have grit. I work with a lot of exited bootstrapped founders and many of us are excited for the future.

Most are not willing to struggle, sacrifice, survive, and grind for a decade or more. Be the exception and build sustainable value. Money follows; perhaps trite but true. Sadly, this is excellent advice that many ignore (this may not actually apply to your specific circumstances, of course).

Your career path makes you top talent in the eyes of many. Honestly, your journey sounds like a leader’s narrative in the making. No excuses, get in there and get it done. I look in the mirror every morning and say nearly that exact thing to myself: “get in there and fight, today like all the other days before and all the days to come”. This is not figurative, I do this literally every single day as part of my daily routine and I don’t let up, even in my darkest hours of which there have been many over the years. I attribute my success to this mentality, perhaps it can work for you.

Be well!

I also believe COVID fucked productivity globally and executives thought it was a temporary thing due to measures in place.

But I feel like COVID situation triggered stuff that either accelerated existing trends or introduced new problems, and I don't think there's going back.

People quoting productivity drops from new hires during COVID omit insane hiring in tech - implying that remote work is to blame and not their structure inability to scale to utilize those unprecedented numbers of new hires productively. Especially since most of the hiring was aimless "we need to grow headcount to capture the market growth". People getting paid serious money to literally sit around. That's going to cascade in other ways - I feel like entire industry standard of acceptable delivery sinked

Getting people back to the office sounds like a nice narrative because it's relatively easy to fix and corelate.

It's also, conveniently, entirely not the fault of upper management for insane over hiring and underutilization.
There's a recent rightward shift for sure, but long term benefits are increasing, unions are gaining power, and you're seeing people use democracy to force industry to adopt green policies. This is the power dynamic described by socialism: people control companies, not the other way around.
Editorial: California should say goodbye to grass that’s only there for looks
I suppose that the reason that it's spoken about less is because there isn't as much as an incentive to do so outside of discussions such as this, especially when compared to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade for example.

The Western world, in particular the United States, bears the burden of their relationship with slavery being more well-documented and its effects are paid more attention to than other parts of the world. This is likely a consequence of their predominance. There may just not be much for most people to talk about with regards to the effects that the slave trade in historically Islamic countries had on England because they traded slaves too. Even if the Trans-Atlantic method didn't involve piracy (it appears that "Adam Smith's invisible hand" was more effective), the modern view of slavery for most is that all forms of it are terrible. Not only that, but at a glance, the Western world has virtually shorn itself of its history as an enslaved people, save a few beautiful buildings left in their formally subjugated territories according to Stealing from the Saracens .

Anyhow, slavery as a human institution is something that just about every society has both experienced and facilitated. The institution itself is more broadly associated with the West as slavers rather than the enslaved and most people are likely unaware or are indifferent to their history as the latter due to how well-know their involvement is as the former.

On second thought, maybe the book from the article is worth a read after all. Authors usually have no control over press releases on their book. She deserves a fair shake.

The article comes across as having a stunted historic outlook, or perhaps "pandemnesia".

Video calling has been in use well over a decade. Skype introduced video calling around 2006, IIRC, including group video calls.

Video calling with distant family members, friends or coworkers, was a thing long before the pandemic.

> The love the Linux world has for Firefox is not reciprocated by Mozilla in the same way, and this shows in various places where issues fixed and addressed on the Windows side are ignored on the Linux side for years or longer.

That's not "Desktop Linux has a Firefox problem", that's "Desktop Linux has a problem". hardware acceleration was always a pain to get working in linux, as a subset of the larger problem of linux video drivers having varying levels of support for the plethora of features that video cards need to do these days.

Things like this ultimately led me to my current Linux usage: Windows host, linux vm, fullscreened on its own virtual desktop.

If I need to do something that linux wasn't going to do efficiently, I do it in the windows host. Otherwise, I do it in the linux vm.

Anyway, I wonder if any of the problems this person is pointing out are going to be made better or worse by wayland

So forget about waves for a second. Forget about spacetime. Forget about general relativity.

The force of gravity is correlated to the mass of the object divided by the square of the distance to the object. The higher the mass, the lower the curvature. The larger the distance, the lower the curvature.

The force of gravity doesn't change instantaneously. The speed is the speed of light. If you move the Sun around using Sufficiently Advanced Technology, (SAT) the orbit of the Earth won't change until 8 minutes later, when the gravity has had time to propagate from the Sun to the Earth.

So what does it feel like if you're on the Earth and somebody is using SAT to wiggle the Sun around? The force felt from the Sun will go up and down. The math that you would use to quantify this changing force is the same math you'd use to characterize sound waves, or water waves, or electromagnetic waves. So we call this changing tidal acceleration 'gravitational waves'.

That's how gravitational waves were described in the 19th and early 20th century, before general relativity. Not long after Einstein published his paper on General Relativity, he adapted the same process via which gravitational waves propagate in Newtonian F = m1 m2 G / r^2 gravity to General Relativity/curvature of spacetime gravity. The math is nasty, and it wasn't really ironed out until decades later, but the theoretical predictions of what gravitational waves will look like in any given detector was worked out well before we actually went and detected them.

> Space is not an elastic fabric

It's a 4D/(3,1) Lorentzian manifold. If you want a better analogy than the stretched elastic fabric analogy, unfortunately the next step is to grab a textbook and slog through the math.

> I’m genuinely worried about the state of browsers on Linux, and the future of Firefox on Linux in particular. I think it’s highly irresponsible of the various prominent players in the desktop Linux community, from GNOME to KDE, from Ubuntu to Fedora, to seemingly have absolutely zero contingency plans for when Firefox enshittifies or dies, despite everything we know about the current state of the browser market, the state of Mozilla’s finances, and the future prospects of both.

macOS enforces that the sync root remain local, but OneDrive does a little bit of slight of hand to be able to store files on an external drive.

There is a write-up from the OneDrive team at [0] that details some caveats on how this works.

OneDrive technical documentation can be difficult to follow since they like to disclose version/dated changes as blogs instead of something more formal and managed.

I believe this is still possible, but experimentation with non-critical data might be advisable.

I really have no idea why this story is getting so much traction.

For one thing, there is often not a clear distinction between so called "real time" analytics processing and batch processing. For example, it doesn't seem unethical to me to develop a system that processes in smaller batches and call it "real time." Even if the batch processing took hours. For some customers, that might very well feel like real time.

Second, it is standard practice (especially with enterprise software companies) to fudge the use of certain terminology for the sake of marketing. Again, I think this is because the meaning of those terms is often subjective as I think it is in this case.

Just doesn't feel like there's a real scandal here.

> Some people in urban areas who are paying $90 a month for 10x the bandwidth speed I pay $240 a month for think they are paying too much. In principle their "last mile" might be 20 feet as opposed to my 2000 feet. The trouble is that 20 feet will cost as much to cover because of all the palms they have to grease to cover it (landlords, unions, community groups, etc.) Contrast that to a rural area where people will grease the skids for you.

Eh… do you have evidence for this, or is it just what you believe to be true? In general, if it _was_ true, you’d expect competition to provide you with cheaper bandwidth than them.

I had a $200-ish Brother laser printer which worked great for a few years, but at some point semi-bricked itself. It no longer accepts print jobs from any source (USB, ethernet, wifi) and nothing seems to fix it, not even factory resets.
