Yes, OP. In fact you should try see a doctor for this as soon as you can. People with ADHD have spoken about how they lost years of their lives through unrealized potential. People that might have otherwise gotten degrees, had more successful careers, and easier lives. It adds up massively.

If you do go on meds make sure to be honest with yourself about how you perform. You'll want to pay close attention to your sleep because many people find they can't get healthy sleep on the meds. If that happens a doctor may be able to prescribe something to help or switch to shorter acting stimulants.

CSS Nesting will definitely be great to use in future projects, and I'm super happy to see it in vanilla CSS now.

But to be honest? I think CSS was fun for a while, simply because all the stuff mentioned in the intro of the article removed many of its pain points. Flexbox, Grid, the is selector, cascade layers... all of this stuff just lets you simplify your CSS down to something that actually makes sense rather than a big ball of mud and browser hacks.

I will say however that I've never really got to use those fancy colour properties though. Feels like every time I've worked on a website or app for any remotely large company, the design team had some set in stone idea about what the branding should be and would accept zero deviation from that in terms of what colours could be used for text, backgrounds, etc.
It seems you also noticed that native app developer jobs are disappearing. The majority of native app developers will switch to something else than react Native, I think.
I have a similar experience. I got a prescription for adderall type medicine when I was around 18 years old. I think my ADHD is not a very severe one. Taking the medication was not worth it for me. I could focus better after taking the pills, but when the effect wore out I was pretty exhausted and way more unconcentrated than before.

> ADHD drugs are stimulants

SOME of them are.

> they don’t treat hyperactivity

Yeah, no. That's just really misleading. The first day on stimulants was the calmest I experienced in years. The whole idea of hyperactivity is (extremely simplified) that your brain fills the space of missing external stimulation. That's where self-stimulation comes from.
I prefer Integrative approach where root causes & deficiencies based on available research identified and use natural products first. If no other options left use drugs. My son has ADHD and I myself have some but not much of it. It is complex disease. I recommend you read this book and carve yourself a path /plan stick with it until you get results. The name of the book is called "Finally Focused" https://www.amazon.ca/Finally-Focused-Breakthrough-Treatment...
I'm in the same boat as you. After trying and returning a few KVMs, I found a decent USB-only KVM switch [0] that works with 4K HDR + PD devices (I think it just electronically connects and disconnects cables), it works amazingly with switching between Macs, but my PC GPU doesn't have USB output, just DP. I have bought a Thunderbolt PCI-E card (ASUS ThunderboltEX 4), it worked, but only turned on once Windows has fully booted, so I returned it too. I'm considering buying an USB-C signal muxer [1] but they are a bit too expensive for my liking. I guess there isn't enough market to produce them and sell them at reasonable price - most people, including myself, just accept having to switch video input separately from USB KVM.

That may be true, but most people don't update their browser every month[1][2] (data isn't readily available it seems, but I'm sure as a webmaster you'd be logging User-Agents and can see the long tail for yourself). So if you want or need to reach a wide audience—say, if you're writing a storefront for a business, or an e-government portal—the only new features you can use are those which fail gracefully, namely ones that are syntactically valid under the old spec+parsers.

> I would recommend thinking critically about any given task before getting into the work.

> think of this as reading the instructions and questions on a timed test before foolishly trying to solve the first equation you see

I realise that you’re trying to be helpful here but these comments show a significant misunderstanding of ADHD. For many people with ADHD plunging in without reading the instructions is the only way - or rather, reading the instructions first is nearly impossible, because of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Thinking critically about pieces of work is also difficult because one thought begets another and suddenly you are in a spiral of tangential interwoven thoughts and the whole thing becomes so overwhelming that you can’t see anything except a huge mess of thoughts and interdependencies and “what ifs” and the whole thing becomes paralysing.

What does debilitating really mean? I could always get the work done, and get it done well, but at significant cost to my mental energy. Medication has removed the sprawling overwhelm and allows me to focus and read the instructions first without that sending me into a spiral of overanalysis.
I'm relatively new to Linux but I used x11 for the first few months and switched to Wayland when re-installing/distrohopping and I really couldn't tell the difference other than screensharing, which is now fixed for my usecase.

> When something doesn't build properly then you start needing to know the details and your logic

You would use compile_commands.json for this, which would show you the literal commands being invoked. What program is doing the invoking is 100% irrelevant. If the invoking program is what is breaking your build, your build is screwed beyond comprehension.

You don't need to know LLVM IR or the GCC intermediate representations, you don't need to know the internals of the ELF format, and you don't need to know make.

If you want to know these things more power to you, but don't insist that everyone should be writing LLVM IR because it's a more general building block than C++ or that anyone should use make for the same reason.

> Their point is that you can't learn general problem solving.

they're wrong.

The same skills I use to track down a bug can be used to track down a parasitic draw in a vehicle.

If you take me, with my problem solving experience in software, and set me next to someone who is completely new to working on vehicles (IOW, we have the same experience working on vehicles), I'm going to pick it up faster and be better at it.

why?

because general problem solving is a skill.

> While learners have preferred styles, effective instruction matches the content, not learning styles. A science class should use graphs to present data rather than verbal descriptions, regardless of visual or auditory learning styles, just like cooking classes should use hands-on practices rather than reading, whether learners prefer a kinesthetic style or not.

I hear ya, but I still don't buy it. Teaching / learning is a fork of the communications heuristic:

"It's not what you say, it's what they hear."

Receivers (i.e., students) have a spectrum of receiving abilities, skills and expectations. Regardless of subject matter, to assume one size fits all (students) is (to put it bluntly) wrong.

Put another way, yes the topic factors is, but ultimately it's about the *individuals* receiving that information.

I think it is just overthinking.

Alice and Bob are a couple, and like most couples, there is a woman and a man. The names are short, memorable, and start with A and B. It is natural to choose a couple, as couples often have private conversations. Charlie, probably from the NATO/ICAO alphabet. Eve, like eavesdropper. Malory, like malicious. Trent, like trust.

If there is something special about Alice, I will be more tempted to think about the most famous Alice, the one in Wonderland. Besides the nice story, Lewis Carrol, author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", real name Charles Dodgson was also a mathematician, and he dabbed in cryptography.
Thank you for sharing… if I may ask what medication are you currently on? Is it a stimulant?

Project governance types affect the end result. While smaller projects like Helix have a few (or maybe one?) decision makers, vi/vim/nvim is such a large and decades old community with so much diversity that the proliferation of plugins - which in itself would not be bad if there wasn't so much low quality and abandonware without clear signs that that is the case - cannot be easily transformed into a solution most will agree on. Most 'the ultimate vim/nvim plugin pack' will just have its own small community, rise and fall.

People thanking the censor and exposing their defense mechanisms is quite the dystopian sight. I guess I must be one of those paid instigators and every positive feedback I receive is from people I personally brought in from the outside.

At least everyone is safe from a healthy debate on important subjects like an objective comparison of the US health care system with comparable systems the moderators censored last week.

I think the problem is that a lot of people are written a prescription and told “ok, go get on with things”.

I worked with a psychiatrist over nearly 18 months titrating up and down on various different medications until we found one that worked best. And the we played with not only dosage but dosing patterns until I felt it was working without making me robotic (which some of them did for sure). It was a lot of work and required a LOT of input and self reflection on my part (and a lot of logging of things!) but worked out very well.
Most doctors, most practitioners in any field, never get higher on their skill tree than journeyman, that is correct. See e.g. the Oxford Handbook of Expertise for more on this.

Some doctors are experts. Those are the doctors other doctors come to for advice in tough cases, or the ones that are consistently helpful in grand rounds.
Talk to the doctor and all that. But for added context, some stuff I learned which I don't see often mentioned:

- most ADHD meds wear off in hours, even the extended release ones, so you can always try it without long term changes

- people talk mostly about stimulants, but there are non-stimulant options too, with the benefit of easier prescribing and avoiding the shortages

- HN (thanks @Podgajski) pointed me at an interesting paper https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.mehy.2013.11.018 and letter I was sent https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-open/article... which work really well for me, so you could even try checking for vitamin deficiencies first (daily b6+b2 worked better than other things I've tried)
It was. That’s why it won.
One thing I’ve really liked about using Svelte is that it’s nudged me towards using plain CSS. Since styles are component scoped it’s allowed me to just focus on applying them in the small, which I think reduces some cognitive load for me. And I’ve been surprised at how much I enjoy solving problems with pure CSS.
I much prefer SpinalHDL, having used both.

McCLIM 0.9.8 Yule – new release
Perhaps the feminists in question believe that their voices are more likely to lead to a change in the stance of the US and the behavior of Israel than a change in the past behavior of Hamas. What Hamas _did_ was wrong. What Israel is _doing_ is wrong, and it’s probably only going to stop in the face of real external pressure from democracies, which have historically shown an interest in protests. I can’t speak for these feminists. But you certainly can’t either.

Well, open up any of Sublime Text, VS Code and quite a few other editors.

You press a key combo (Ctrl-P is the standard combo these days, it seems).

A small input window pops up at the top and the search results drop down, this is way more ergonomic for reading, unfortunately, than the old timey Emacs/Vim command mode input at the bottom and pop up results.

Ctrl-Shift-P would be for searching for commands. So you'd go "find" and the drop down would contain the relevant "find" commands which you could then select and parameterize: https://youtu.be/B-s71n0dHUk?feature=shared&t=380

For search, you go Ctrl-P and the same input window pops up, just that it does a fuzzy search of your project folder by default.

For the file manager, it's that thing on the left in Sublime Text, VS Code. It's a mini file manager that shows the project/folder you've opened. It's very convenient when not editing a lone file, which is probably 99% of the time for DevOps and dev work.
The Briggs & Torczon paper focuses on set representation rather than key-value style access, but of course one can get associative access with just a 2nd dense array of satellite data or, equivalently, wider-than integers in the one dense array (depending upon memory layout desires). Then you basically have a direct access index (like only 256 possible things, so use an 8-bit byte-sized index array of 256 entries) paired with a dense table.

This always struck me as very similar to early ideas in database indexing a la Ted Codd & crew (as perhaps more recently popularized in recent Python3.6 hash table impls). So, while Aho & Briggs & Torczon all deserve ongoing credit for popularization, I wonder if anyone out in HN-land knows of a reference to a database paper from the 60s or 70s introducing this?
