Yup! I wish more people who say they have ADHD could have that experience. If someone says they have ADHD but they are unmedicated and they already are holding down a decent job but are only recently kind of struggling with something they called distraction or issues with focus... Then I say they don't have ADHD because it's so much more than that. It is issues with actual executive function. It is being unable to put your shoes on because you can't keep a straight train of thought because someone else is distracting you and you can't help but following all those threads of distraction while you are trying to perform a manual task.
I used to hear to Hucci alot back in the day because most of his songs would hover around 60-70 BPM, I'd gather it was having a similar effect.
PV panels are rather easy to recycle, or reuse.

Regarding slave labour, I might have bad news for you: Not a single product you use in your lofe is free of exploitation, child labor or slave labor. Not a single one, from the clothes you wear to the food you eat.
> HN is full of developers complaining about open offices and useless meetings; do all of them have ADHD? Otherwise, what's the difference between a ADHD developer and a regular developer?

Diagnostically speaking? The number of symptoms and the severity of those symptoms is basically it. Everyone will likely experience some of the symptoms of ADHD during their life. The co-occurence of those symptoms and the amount they affect your ability to function day-to-day is what makes the difference.

Some people will debate over how "real" ADHD is, where real means people with ADHD are a disjoint group and not just people on the very low end of the "ability to focus" bell curve. From my research I do believe it is "real", but that whether ADHD is "real" like sickle cell anemia is real or its just part of a normal bell curve doesn't really matter because society isn't going to adapt around you. If medication is what make the difference to maintain a normal life for some then that's probably a good thing that its available. If people who don't "really" have ADHD can learn strategies for focus and time management that's also a good thing.

> Dealing with those specific problems did much more than throwing my hands in the air and yelling "ADHD".

For a lot of people, dealing with their specific problems starts with recognizing what those problems are and identifying strategies to help. Diagnosing it gives validation that its something concrete you can work on, gives access to mental health professionals who can help you develop solutions, and creates a community of people all trying to solve similar problems.
Same. My adhd has made me a decent developer despite very much not wanting to do that sort of work. However it has absolutely destroyed my life and relationships and my ability to even sit down and get dev work done. I’m currently on my third “sabbatical” of my life because I’m incapable of working right now. I’ve been jobless close to three years of my adult life now - not because I was ever fired, but because I’m incapable of managing my adhd well enough to work. I’m trying extremely hard
From the article:

> The AI chemist used a robot arm to collect samples from the Martian meteorites, then it employed a laser to scan the ore. From there, it calculated more than 3.7 million molecules it could make from six different metallic elements in the rocks — iron, nickel, manganese, magnesium, aluminum and calcium.

> Within six weeks, without any human intervention, the AI chemist selected, synthesized and tested 243 of those different molecules.

I expected something less automated. It took a few time reading this to see that the robotic research labs from computer games I used to play are now here.
https://nlihc.org/resource/new-construction-has-mixed-short-... found new construction to have a negligible effect on the rents of high-tier buildings, and to increase the rents of low-tier buildings.

This is not too surprising, but may be specific to large and/or lax-on-immigration countries such as the US. It may look like an inversion of supply-and-demand, but the problem is the demand is essentially infinite compared to the change in supply that new construction brings. Without limiting new arrivals, all you've done is increased the desirability.

Like trying to reduce the relative amount of theft by increasing your inventory.
I was wondering what would be replacing Excel/VBA after 3 decades as a citizen developer alternative. I could not think of something that even comes close. Any ideas?
I would imagine at such scale this abstraction starts to fail. Eg say they wrecked Microsoft's GPUs, MS probs can't just provision more somewhere else at a blink of an eye.
Would you recommend any of Child's books to a vegetarian home cook today? (If not, would you happen to have other recommendations for French vegetarian cooking, leaning toward seasonal produce, for the soft of home cook/baker who prefers to weigh their dry ingredients?)
It was silly. Inexperienced people putting up really simplistic sites with no business model, and people throwing money at it.

But the biggest difference is that nobody really knew what we were doing. The thing YC and others have brought to the industry is a consistent path for startups to follow. If you want to start something, and want to go down that high-risk path, there are playbooks to follow and incubators to apply to, with easy access to information on how it will look.

None of that existed back then. Nobody was walking around talking about the pros and cons of VC vs. bootstrapping, or how to get funding, or how to avoid getting scammed. The basic practices of developing a product, finding product/market fit, iterating based on feedback... those weren't common knowledge.

Now lets also get rid of stack overflow, blogs, and pretty much most sources of information online -- all of that came later. You bought books and read them. You asked your friends for info, and hopefully they knew something. Usenet was a thing, and that is where you might find better info.

Lets get rid of the Agile manifesto, too -- people were either doing waterfall or winging it with their own processes. And the jobs were mostly consulting gigs, requiring lots of meeting and proposals, not self-service signups to a SaaS.

Let us not forget that we did not have git, either. We used old-school source control (if any), self-hosted, check-in-check-out style workflows.

In short, we were (mostly) all inexperienced beginners, without access to much information, flailing about trying to do something new, using really old practices. It didn't really work. But it was kinda fun.
100% true. Teams have team-sized work queues. Individuals with unique roles have individual work queues. Benefiting from a faster individual requires solving a similarly large coordination problem across the company for a smaller payoff.
They don't have to know what you are sending to know you are sending in a way you shouldn't. It's not even about the content of the encrypted traffic at that point. They just see broadcasts (which...good luck hiding them from the FCC) and if they see the bandwidth being used but aren't receiving a usable audio/data stream from it, it's really easy to tell if the rules are being followed.
That's a very radical statement; there have been far worse laws passed.
There are some really good doughs out there. Whole Foods has a really good one. However I can make a better dough at home. I use a higher gluten flour (14%), diastatic malt powder and cold ferment for a few days. To my taste it’s better than any dough I’ve purchased. But yes, unnecessary.

> By building more renewable sources, we will need less and less fossil capacity.

How many more renewables?

The installed capacity of renewables in Germany is double its needs for power.

The installed capacity of renewables in Denmark is 1.5 times its needs for power.

Do we need 10 times more? 100 times more?
My wife has a copy of the DSM 5 on our bookshelf, and flipping through it I noted that very many disorders have diagnostic criteria that, beyond just having some symptoms, they cause significant distress or impairment of functioning.

I had a friend growing up who was diagnosed with ADHD quite young whose experience was similar to your story–he had major issues with school that ultimately led to him being expelled, not going to college, having trouble with work and family etc. I thought of him a lot as so many of my classmates in a hyper-competitive school environment discussed how they could get a diagnosis and medication to have an edge on college admissions or whatever.
When the hazard is one that;

1) the public cannot see

2) lacks the skills to properly independently evaluate the scope of (99% of the public doesn’t own a Geiger counter, and 99.9% would be unable to quantify risks even if they did)

3) is potentially lethal

And the authorities the are supposed to be able to do #1 and #2 are caught repeatedly and obviously lying about the hazard.

It’s perfectly rational for people to get ‘irrationally’ scared. All they know is the folks who are supposed to be protecting them from this actual threat are not credible! And there is an actual threat (probably)!
What are the odds that someone gets accused of plagiarism for doing exactly that? Like, say there's a perfect solution in existence with the fewest lines/tokens of code all the elegant shortcuts and maybe a little bit of "sorcery", how likely is it for two people to work their way down the perfect solution and it basically looks exactly the same, maybe they followed the same logical workflow to arrive there, who knows...

The details of this type of study (last time this was posted) state that certain caterpillar neurons must exist at a certain state of development, if the caterpillars are taught the aversion behavior too soon, the butterflies never retain the behavior so this is how they know that detail. Then only a percentage (IIRC < 70 percent) of the butterflies remember the behavior they learned as caterpillars.

Self reporting for adhd tests is notoriously unreliable to the point of being useless. It requires interviewing people close to the patient.
Whilst I agree with a lot of this, I think there's an issue around expecting someone with ADHD to just onboard using all these tools without a prior history and engrained usage.

Such as just "using wikis and JIRA etc" is a bit handwavey imho, it needs to stick otherwise it'll just be forgotten.

This sort of programming is very powerful. It lets people who have no idea what big O is or how to make a fully automated CI/CD system with testing and all of the bells and whistles just get something done. Just to make a dialog and automate something. That type of programing is very powerful. Many times a huge mess to clean up but very powerful and gets things done. We sometimes lose sight of that. Computers are to get things done. Getting rid of the moat we have build could be very powerful.
The existence of the advertising clause was always the main difference between the traditional BSD license and MIT license. The above is interesting because it's also an an advertising clause, but it does something the opposite of what the BSD advertising clause did. BSD wanted the license and the Regents to be mentioned in advertising.
Who talked about true communism? Communism was tried, didn't work. Your own words by the way.

There is a very important difference between communism and socialism, because the latter has been tried multiple times and worked comparatively well. You even named some of the poster child countries yourself. As I said, it is a truely US thing to equate socialism with communism, followed by touting Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea as negative examples of it.
It's like a combo between the MIT license with the 3rd clause from the BSD 3-Clause license.

Being diagnosed at the age of two with pretty severe ADHD I do not consider my disabling disorder a superpower in the least. I could see it as something if I was more naive that could be exploited by my employer if I had one and if I let myself into a situation like that and that would be damaging to me if I let that happen. I'm sure I could be really productive if I don't take care of myself for an extended period of time to finish a project using all of The fuel in my tank multiple times a month but I really don't ever want to be in that situation because that's basically where danger lies.
It's hard to understand how SpaceX can be such a success while Cybertruck and Twitter are such a shit show. (Let's ignore Hyperloop because he admitted that was always an anti-rail spoiler.)

Based on his Tweet history, he comes across as astoundingly immature, thin-skinned, and easily distracted.

He has: accused someone completely innocent of paedophilia for random reasons that are hard to fathom; denied that Covid was a problem; tweeted like a teenager about womens' boobs and limited math skills; lost at least 75% on his purchase of Twitter; suggested a literal dick measuring contest with Zuckerberg; claimed he was going to sell 10% of his Tesla stock to alleviate poverty and then awarded to it to a trust he owns; cynically hyped Dogecoin and (arguably) Tesla...

And so on.

I suppose someone like that might also be a genius rocket engineer. But if he is, it's quite a niche talent that doesn't seem to have transferred to his other projects.
Only if we’re actually capable of identifying and naming the right things.

Calling everyone a Nazi because you don’t like them doesn’t prevent anything.

The modern, cause-effect approach to history is great if you can actually identify all the causes and link them correctly to the proper effects.

Medievalists would argue that each situation should be evaluated according to its place in a universal battle of good versus evil.

I’m not currently sure which is better.

> Similarly, a home dishwasher doesn't actually sterilize anything

What do you consider to be sterilization? Even my old dishwasher, which was made in 2002, has a sani-rinse option that adds a 10 minute rinse with 160℉ (71℃) water which the manual says satisfies the NSF Protocol P153 for sanitizing in household spray-type dishwashers. Unfortunately I can't find a free copy of NSF Protocol P153 to see what that actually accomplishes.

Looking at a few dishwashers that I'd consider to replace mine when it eventually breaks--and I'm a cheapskate so that basically means what I can find at Home Depot or Lowes or Best Buy in the $500-800 range rather--it looks like sanitizing or high temperature cycles are still common, although nowadays what they are saying they meet is "NSF/ANSI 184: Residential Dishwashers" [1].

That requires a minimum 5-log (99.999%) reduction of bacteria and a final rinse temperature of at least 150℉. The 5-log bacteria reduction is only required if you run the sanitizing cycle.

For commercial dishwashers the required reduction in bacteria is the same, although they are required to reach at least 165℉ rinse if they are stationary rack single-temp dishwashers or 180℉ otherwise. For commercial dishwashers the 5-log reduction is required on the regular cycles.

I use Erik Satie a lot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pyhBJzuixM). Also ASMR videos of mechanical keyboards (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zq5blZL1P4). Wonder what a light with some randomness would do.

You could hook up some physiological monitors and try all kinds of light patterns.
Momma was the expert, it was always pure superstition for people to think they didn't need to rinse, not just once but multiple times.

In the analytical chem lab, you can get an idea how suitable pyrexware is for future use by mathematically considering the quality of the final rinse water, the effective dilution ratio, and the number of times rinsed.

I played a lot in person around the same time frame, and did pretty well. It was hugely popular with a lot of dumb money floating around. When I would travel for work, I would find nearby reservation casinos which always seems to have tons of easy money.

Like you said, winning poker is a grind, and for me, extremely boring. I rarely play anymore, and if I do it's with friends. But, I have memories of some big hands in Vegas that I'm happy to have experienced. I also learned a ton about risk management, my personal risk tolerance, and controlling my emotions.
I experience a flow state around that time as well. Mostly because everyone leaves the office. 0630-0730 and 1630-1730 have become my golden hours. Which is weird because body doubling is often an effective tool for me. My true “0430” like the parent comment is really at 2000, but I force myself into a normal sleep schedule and fail often.

Oh absolutely the AI has to have replaced or was all along our TV sama. Probably in the first season somewhere, with the twist being revealed somewhere in the 3rd or so. You'll see it plain as day during a re-watch.

> Even now France's nuclear provides more energy than anything it has, and France routinely exports energy to Germany who have shattered their nuclear power plants and are now busy burning coal and importing electricity to cover the needs.

Adding to what cycomanic wrote already:

Germany has replaced what it lost on the nuclear shutdown with renewables years ago. They also reduced coal and even have a law to phase it out completely. The fact that Germany imported nuclear power doesn't say anything about the fact that they HAD to import it. Just like anyone connected to the grid, they buy when it's cheap and sell when it's expensive. Due to Germany's mix they're flexible there while France has to keep on running and selling as much as they can since they're losing money. See EDF.
I don't know any pro-nuclear that is anti-renewables. We see nuclear as an alternative to burning coal, gas or oil, not to renewables.

Renewables are great. We all love them. It's just that they are not here just yet, not 24h/day 265days/year anyway. They need a complement.
No. I think the problem starts with that the role Scheel had isn't given a name in the article of the basic law that creates it.

So either need to be fully descriptive (e.g., something like fulfilling the functions of the Chancellor, while not ever having the office) or it will be also open to being misunderstood.

The issue here really is that the German succession doesn't ever transfer the office, but only the function (which is different to the US, for example). So here Scheel followed Brandt, but not into the office. Only someone having the office is a Chancellor and there is a specific way to that office.
