Yes, this is exactly my experience. When I’m allowed by life, I enjoy the way ADHD makes me a lot. I get that everyone’s accustomed to their own experience and way of life so everything is relative, but I feel like life without ADHD would be kind of boring. I get so excited about so many things and find experiencing them so gratifying and fulfilling.

My kids are often confused why I’m interested in things (most recently fish and frogs I found in a creek, or enormous boulders we came across on a forest floor which likely fell there from incredibly high rocky peaks hundreds or thousands of years prior) but to me it’s like, how can this not be exciting!? In both instances I was so deeply engaged and amazed by the subjects and it gives me this incredible sense of awe and appreciation for the world I live in. The rest of my family is so uninterested that my interest annoys them, haha.

There’s definitely a downside of course. Like you mention, losing interest in things usually means moving on to something else, but that’s not always a good idea or beneficial to myself or those around me. Even so, I love being able to get into things so intensely.

> Java did this as well after a bunch of code was broken by a JDK upgrade which changed HashMap iteration order that programmers had been relying upon.

This is incorrect (or I’m misunderstanding you). OpenJDK’s HashMap doesn’t use randomization, and the iteration order is thus deterministic under that implementation, although the API specification does not guarantee it. To mitigate DoS attacks, keys in the same hash bucket are stored as a balanced tree. For keys that implement Comparable (strings in particular), this guarantees O(n log n).

Stripe, Block, and PayPal were never required to process transactions.

You can negotiate with a bank to get your own rate and then implement your own secure transaction processing. Visa is still required though.

I have worked at companies that bypassed those middlemen. Many companies don’t do it because they are okay with paying higher fees so they don’t have to deal with that extra headache, or because they work at smaller companies that think Stripe, Block, and PayPal invented payment processing when Visa and banks have been around for decades longer.
If you go to their source, you also see that there are only 3 data points in the first 75% of the graph. This makes sense, since obviously global GDP can only be very roughly estimated in e.g. 1000AD.

It kind of raises the question of whether GDP is even a coherent concept in 1000AD. However, the post-1500 numbers are going to be at least somewhat reliable, and can be inspected at the source:

1500: 502.98G
1600: 671.14G (0.29% annualized growth)
1700: 751.59G (0.11%)
1820: 1.40T (0.52%)
1850: 1.85T (0.93%)
1870: 2.35T (1.2%)
1900: 4.19T (2.9%)
(skipping a bunch because it's pretty high res now)
2000: 68.44 (2.8%)

There are periods of faster and slower growth in those years -- most evidently, growth slowed between 1940 and 1950 for geopolitical reasons -- but that's at least the average.

There is clearly something interesting going on between 1700 and 1900, with the significantly positive second derivative. However, that interesting thing is called the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution fits the article's narrative pretty well, and it's probably safe to assume their readers are aware of it. I don't know why they went this route rather than just pointing to the industrial revolution as evidence.

Safeway gas stations upgraded their pumps to have tap-to-pay.

Except many card issuers limit contactless payments to $100... rendering tap to pay useless on the pump because it'll deny the preauth and require chip insertion.

Perhaps, though I'm not convinced that incentives really work like that.

For every Elon Musk who makes grandiose promises and then either fails to deliver at all, or eventually delivers 9 years after he promised, there must be multiple senior execs who would be sufficiently embarrassed to make a bold prediction about the near future that utterly fails to materialize.

Certainly these people have already seen the capabilities of what will be released in the near future after all the safety boxes have been checked. Certainly they know more about the likely near future than me or 99.999% of everyone else.

So when I hear a bold prediction about the near future that's essentially a synthesis of opinions of this handful of insiders who are in the best possible position to know, why would I discount it by 100% simply due to hand-wavy "incentives"?

In late 2001 (in the US) I switched off of desktop Linux to a used iBook G3, and have never really went back.

We were a small company and I switched to using that iBook for some work (C++ development for *nix-based systems). I felt I was an early adopter there by a few years. I converted my workstation (which for reasons was way more powerful than the ones the rest of the development group had) into a build server and a local RedHat/Debian cache for the team. That poor iBook did not have the horsepower to build the software locally in a reasonable amount of time :-)

It seems like Hobbes could be restated thermodynamically: the lowest energy highest disorder state is the most likely and therefore the default.

Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short -- those are all low energy high entropy states.

The opposite of solitary is cooperating and connecting and that's provably difficult to achieve (see game theory). Brutish is also a game theoretic "all defect" scenario which is very likely. Cooperation and peace are harder to achieve and require more sophisticated game playing strategies that integrate results over multiple iterations.

Poor, nasty, and short describes low energy high disorder states.

So ultimately the question is how and why do we exceed the bare minimum, because exceeding the bare minimum state required for survival and procreation is pretty much the definition of a great or exceptional society or period of history.

Cost of customer acquisition, length of sales cycles.

Selling enterprise software or hardware means paid lunches and dinners to steakhouses, 3-24 months sales cycles, multiple free workshops or demos or presentations. This all costs anywhere from $10K to even millions of $ plus sales teams and internal training, marketing, management and other overhead.

In the consumer market, there’s probably a lot fewer overheads.

[Mods: it might be helpful to tag this paper as written in 2007]

It seems to me this paper is bringing to light the idea of spaced repetition for learning and this has become quite popular in the productivity/learning culture of today (e.g. Ali Abdaal).

> Alternatively, mathematics textbooks could easily adopt a format that engenders spacing.

I tutor middle school students in mathematics and this is definitely being implemented in their textbooks! At the end of each chapter, there a is normal chapter review practice test followed by a "Cumulative Practice" which reviews topics from the previous chapters in the book. These are especially beneficial to my students as, like the paper highlights, it promotes long-term memory of those topics.

> For example, although computer-based instruction typically provides extensive retrieval practice and rapid feedback, it offers a currently unexploited opportunity to schedule study sessions in ways that optimize long-term retention.

I find it weird how fraud protection is used to justify why these companies are so popular because fraud is not something that most consumers care about up front, most people only start caring when it happens to them. Most tend to assume that every tool they use is secure by default. "This product is not insecure" is not a very compelling selling point IMO.

The reason for the abstractions is that the behavior of equivalent services from different clouds is functionally the same, but offered through subtly different APIs. If you think the value of each cloud is how unique their object storage (S3, Cloud Storage, etc.) is, you’ve missed the point entirely - the value is being able to store and retrieve data. The same is true for all the services nitric abstracts.

Saying they’re expensive and impractical because they’re not unique is obviously wrong. They’re valuable because they’re easy to use, safe, scalable, etc. while requiring almost no maintenance from the user. Storing data or sending messages, etc. aren’t uniquely valuable components worth spending time on for most applications. They’re basic building blocks, so why not minimize the effort and time to use them as much as possible?

There are unique and valuable services offered by cloud providers, those aren’t what nitric is focused on. I’d rather spend my time dealing with those unique, valuable tasks instead of wasting it on the basics.

They did. See for example time functions like localtime (and localtime_r) and tzset. It is admittedly locale adjacent, since it depends on the locale. But the time zone is also global state, so it is impossible to get the time in a different timezone with standard apis in multi-threaded portable (for posix) c code.

> Even if they didn't randomize, unless they also explicitly guaranteed stable map order across versions, you DO need to sort the map if you want reproducibility.

Author here.

The particular case where this behaviour took me by surprise was when I wanted to print all available options from a toy CLI program that I wrote. I defined the options in a map (that had a function handler as a value) and didn't care about the order at all, but at least I expected the print order to be stable.

So it took me by surprise when I ran the program 3 times and the order changed. First I thought I did something wrong, then I found the issue after some search.

Now, it can be argued that this behaviour was good because I ended up sorting the values before printing, and now they have a predictable order. But I still think this was that kind of code that I didn't have to write (thanks to how Go works, I need to create a separate list and sort it instead; I think it is better with iterators in Go 1.23 though).

> Because if you relied on it being conveniently stable within the same Go version, with no guarantees, your program would still be broken (reproducibility wise), if they changed the hashmap implementation.

Well, not in this particular case. I just wanted it to print it in a stable way between multiple runs of the program. Again, maybe this whole thing helped me write a better program. But I still feel that it is unnecessary, and would prefer to just use a orderedmap instead.
