ADHD/ADD is an imagined disease, created by those who do not understand how a person who can process more information than they, operates.

The teaching system and the work system does not understand the abilities and natural ways of acting of these people, and this is why we feel so hard to adapt to the old systems.

It is natural evolution of the human being, being suppressed by those who want to keep us in control and medicate it away with feeling blocking chemicals.

But it is a great skill. The ability to see things differently, to process more information at once, to build systems inside your head. Embrace this side of you. It is a great power, and medication only suppresses it.

Learn to master it and you will become a master of yourself, and you will not need medication. Meditation & Yoga are the one methods that work for me, without any external help. It takes self-discipline, but it is definitely worth it.

I have suffered with this way of thinking for my whole life, and I could not understand why I could not fit in. I struggled through my teen years, finding peace only in creating new things, usually in front of the computer.

I have always somehow understood that the medication traditional doctors give is not right for us, but I had a long period where I used to medicate myself with cannabis. This worked for a while, but after about 3 years of doing this, I knew this was not the way. I had become addicted, was suffering when I didn't have any and always was thinking about the future and when I would get my medication.

At the same time thought I started doing kundalini yoga and learning the skill of meditation more and more. The finding of kundalini yoga was a blessing, as first time in my life I felt I had true power within me, without needing any help from outside.

I struggled with letting go of cannabis for a long time, but finally I managed to do it. Now I've been totally sober for 7 months and feeling better than ever. I have replaced meditation with medication, and focusing on the inner strength instead of outer strength.

This has allowed me to focus my ever wandering mind

I am a programmer by day and night, and meditation and yoga really helps me concentrate and keep my mind clear even during stressful times at work.

Find your inner strength. Throw away your medication. Throw away the limiting factor of identifying with ADD/ADHD. It is only an invention of those who do not experience it themselves.
It's not just mobile - I can't do anything with it on my netbook, either.
Thanks for posting this. Your story reminded me so much of myself, but I always just figured "this is the way I am. I am broken." On my last checkup my doctor suggested I might have depression and should come back after the holidays (I was traveling the next day) for a follow up. I literally have not been able to work up the motivation to go back. But I'm going to change that.
Yeah sorry about not having an example page up, and thanks for getting on it Chengyin. I'll make a proper example page next.
On the topic of "who is going to pay for this?!" it's really just a matter of time. This article really strikes a nerve with me because, while I was majoring in English, I questioned the whole point of publishers in today's world. What do I need a publisher for these days? What do I need a record label for? Surely I can just post my content on the internet and presto, right?

I forgot what the value of publishing was. Fast forward to today and the noise of content-farming and SEO keyword-stuffing is deafening.

And on the topic of long form, rarely have I ever gained anything from 500 words.
your bigoted antiquated opinions about immigration would never fly in this day and age, thank goodness. America has opened its legs culturally to the world, especially after WWII, and there will be dire economic and cultural consequences should she close them. accept it and move on, your daughter may not marry white. sorry.

Blasphemy is not the same as criticism. On one extreme of criticism, you use reasoned academic arguments to critique specific doctrines you find unappealing. On the other extreme, you can insult people's culture without being productive at all.

Blasphemy is much closer to the second than the first.

You’re coming to the exact opposite, wrong conclusions here.

1) in the trust-Bush example, anyone who actually, properly learned “how to sense when other people have a depth of knowledge or experience that is unavailable to you” would have sensed that Bush was full of shit, didn’t know what he was doing, and was a terrible person to have in charge. Honing that skill is incredibly valuable in life, precisely because it protects you from having to blindly trust anyone based on a claim (accurate or not) that they know what they're doing.

2) This is not theology at all. Theology is about accepting a claim despite your inability to rationalize it, or accepting it precisely because your ability to rationalize it is broken or flawed—and both being in the realm of deities.

What erikpukinskis was describing is the process of cultivating empathy and trust, in face of the acknowledgement that your perceived reality is not necessarily accurate (which it isn’t for anyone on the planet). He's saying that there are a lot of smart people who simply cannot believe that “something” is truly happening if they have no personal experience with that “something”, and may, as a result, deny the reality that is that “something”.

And he’s saying that, for him at least, it was necessary to learn to accept these things as true, first, before being able to figure out and rationalize them on his own, later, without having to be personally exposed to the problem for it.

And that’s called empathy, not theology.
But isn't it a big problem that all the blog posts are loaded using Javascript? It means your blog will be fully invisible to Googlebot and anyone coming from search engines. The purpose of a blog is, at least partially, to have readers but loading content via Javascript makes that harder to get.
This pedophile over there? He's playing in VERY HARD mode, and yet he made it to a congressman.

See where the analogy breaks down? Playing "hard mode" doesn't mean you're also doing something worthwhile.
We will add support for window.onerror eventually, but there are two reasons we haven't yet done this:

1. window.onerror gives you no backtrace
2. hooking into jQuery.event.add lets us tell you "this error happened when the user clicked that button".

We've not yet implemented the UI for 2. (48 hours is not so long as we thought!); but I remain convinced that suitable integration with various frameworks is a much better developer experience than trying to rely on just the error message. Being able to see both the source code where the exception happened (see http://rescuejs.com/assets/screen_341.png) and the user context in which it happens makes it considerably easier to fix the problem.
Our current government here in the UK is doing this at the moment. They even revoked a university's license to accept foreign students on a technicality. We make a fortune out of foreign students and with our demographics need them far more than the US, but according to the Daily Mail reading grey brigade if we packed them all off home, all our troubles would be over. Because simplistic, sweeping, poorly thought out solutions to deep rooted cultural and economic issues always work out so well.

The arrogance in this post is stunning. Nobody has ever or ever will have more knowledge or experience than you on any topic at all. And to put any trust in another person is equivalent to theological 'faith'. Wow.

Firstly theology isn't a good comparison because god isn't a concept that can be 'experienced' or disproved. The issues that feminists talk about are generally not like this: if you really want to know how much more physically threatening the world seems as a woman, one could feasibly have a sex change operation or similar to allow you to experience the world as a woman. Or if you aren't so arrogant as to discount all knowledge that you didn't directly experience yourself, you could ask a large number of women and see what they have to say.

Secondly, you seem vastly ignorant about epistemology and how science works in general. Ultimately it very much is a system of trust in people and institutions. Your categorising of knowledge into "theology" and "real knowledge" based on one requiring faith is a false dichotomy.

I can only imagine how awful it must be to know you in real life if you never trust a single thing other people say to you without verifying it yourself (that is my way of saying you are a terrible human being).

The article is from January. Even if you're amazed by it, you could have at least found an article about results (this is from before the Raspberry Pi was released).
As an individual who has struggled with severe ADD, i've followed scientific and medical journal research in the field. New research, involving brain-scans of intelligent ADD and non-ADD brains, shows a specific recall disorder. Basically, when an ADD brain wants to concentrate on a single task (reading/listening to a lecture for example), other regions of the brain are called upon and interfere with focus. This is why many ADD/ADHD individuals like myself, hide in the corner of a quite library, with ear-plugs, because sounds/visual-stimulation/other thought process is amplified. With a non-ADD brain, non-recalled regions, unrelated to the requested task, drastically lower activity levels.

Try a search for the word "crusade" on wikipedia. You might find it enlightening.
Yes, and it's kind of true.

Achievements are only relative.
As other commenters have mentioned, Source Maps are the solution to this problem in general. The main reason we don't yet allow signup to RescueJS is that "create a source map" is currently beyond the state of the art for web frameworks. You can't "just" do it.

Over the weekend we spent a few hours trying to hook source maps into the asset pipeline for Rails based on https://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets/pull/311 and upgrading the 'uglifier' rubygem to work with UglifyJS2. We didn't manage to get it quite working within the time limit, but we'll try and push our work-in-progress upstream to get this ball moving again.
One option is to catch any email that ends with @tabuleapp.com or @facebook.com to label notification emails from those services.
Thanks for posting. This really is a nice starting point for me, as I really have to do an update to my resume in the near future.

I will definitely use some of this as an inspiration.
ADHD is too bad to read through all these posts here, but I used to take ADHD medication (concerta) for around 6 years, once I started programming I stopped and I've never looked back. Learning to program not only drastically increased my earning potential, but has freed me of life constrained by medication. +1 for writing this article.
Good job, and OK, it looks good, but:

a. it's on tumblr so SEO will be crap or non existent,
b. it loads using JS (as bjourne pointed out), so posts will be invisible to Search Engines.

You should try, somehow, to integrate it with wordpress.
subreddits or filtering are a must, and I don't know what a pubmed score is - is it more technically challenging to handle arbitrary doi.dx URLs? How about support for ArXiv?

If the difficulty is gaining ranking for things, then I guess you just need more users and a way to handle upvotes - let me know if you want me to advertise it to all my grad student friends with institution subscriptions inside all these paywalls. You'll have to support physics articles before they'll care, of course...
It would be great if the links on HN automatically open in new tabs. This would clearly imply that the clicked link is on a different domain. In addition, the user won't need to remember to go back to HN page, because it would be always open in the first tab. (Similar to Google News)
But failing to undertake a proper root cause analysis is harmful to your stated aims.

You appear to believe that a resurgent radical Islam is primarily due to the rise of wealthy Arab states, and yet these states are aligned to the West, armed by the West, and also suppress the same radical elements you wish to neutralize domestically.

A proper root cause analysis would reveal that violent military intervention coupled with Western political soundbites (which have a modern crusades theme to them) are the real factors responsible for radicalizing elements of Middle Eastern society.

Western and Middle Eastern political organizations with a religious base, radical pastors and imams, and military contractors seem to be the main beneficiaries in this culture war, and domestic citizens in the Middle East and the West seem to be the main losers.

Civil liberties are eroded domestically, a constant state of fear is generated domestically, and travel options internationally are limited. This applies to both Middle Eastern and Western domestic populations.

The simplest and most effective solution is, you say, to limit immigration and assimilate existing immigrants? Historically maybe it's been the 'simplest' approach, in terms of isolating and subjugating 'foreigners' (apart from slavery), but I wouldn't agree that it's been effective in neutralizing resistance to whatever was the hegemony of the age.

Instead I would look at the success of Western countries in cultivating an apathetic population as the counter-intuitive solution for a continued hegemony. Rising living standards, opportunity, and entertainment as distraction.

Look at how China invests in significant infrastructure in Africa to buy stability and access to natural resources. The idea of foreign aid is certainly not new, and the world is littered with US-funded roads and hospitals, but the ratio of destructive / constructive actions is completely the wrong way around.

Why not wage peace, allocate more of the loot to local populations so they see a significant rise in living standards, and cultivate a widening middle class that has less reasons to be sympathetic to radicals?

That seems to me a far more sophisticated approach to exerting and maintaining influence than the traditional "wage war" approach.

Your position seems to be a result of artful misdirection which paints militant Islam as the cause when in fact it is simply the effect of the militant West. It's the bitterest of ironies that the global Defence industry is in fact one of the greatest enemies of continued goodwill and peace for Western populations.

well, its true. The most capable workers earn more than workers that are barely capable. And as someone's capabilities grow, their salary tends to go up.

And when an employer looks at someone that can do a lot and at someone that can do very little, they want to pay the former more.
(Mild ADHD here) Hyperfocus sounds great, yet it comes at a steep price: extreme exhaustion. Sometimes I just can't work for days (weeks happen) straight. Then at times hyperfocus kicks in and I complete three days work in one swoop, but after that I feel energetically empty. You're right on the dependence because HF gives a high, and I admit although the attention deficit part is a terrible pain, the high is so great that a part of me doesn't want to medicate, because it would go away.
How is this different from just using Heroku's Command Line Tools, which are also just a "one command" deploy?

Honest question - I'm wondering what I'm missing.
Not bad but it needs some more testing. After some up and down scrolling with home, end, page up and down it totally blew up in Chrome.
If you think it's focussed on iBooks, do you expect it to come with a retina display?

For me the retina on the iPad 3 made a world of difference and actually enabled me to read much more of my Kindle books. With the iPad 2 I still crabbed Kindle 3 most of the time, now much less.
If it's very narrow, I don't mind it much. But thick ones reduce screen space drastically - worst of all, rendering the Space bar (which should scroll down a page at a time) useless. Now that I really do hate.

You can make a career in music, though it may not be making music itself. Leverage your current skill (programming) to get yourself into a music-related job. Start making band web sites, or social media crap, online merchandise sites, or whatever it is that these people need. Meet people in the industry and figure out what might be fun for you to do. Maybe it will involve making music, or maybe something you find even more enjoyable.

Programming can open doors into just about anything these days.
Yes I agree. It needs a good amount of more testing. Could you file an issue on the repo? I'd really appreciate it. I'm also aware that there are issues on iOS.

Capo.io brings Capistrano deployments to the masses.
At the moment, it seems that you need to use Tumblr for blog posts, the author also mentions maybe extending it to Wordpress.

I think the entire idea here is that it is an aggregator of sorts. The site itself contains nothing that does not exist elsewhere, and judging from one of the open pull requests where someone has implemented local blog support, the author does not intend to store anything locally.

Though I like that he has open sourced this, I find it really weird that this is not offered as a service.
Yea maybe history and fiction are much correlated by the way they are created and explained.
USTREAM of Softbank Press Conference announcing purchase of Sprint
Well technically it should be getting downvoted for being wrong.

Here he is stating that he is taking an extremely America centric stance, and focused on the shortest path solution.

Its the obvious answer most people come up with, and its dissection and discovery of weak spots is valuable for those who would usually come up with a similar shortest path answer.

At the same time, he has accepted that he doesn't hold the moral high ground.

That should be repeated very clearly - this is a solution which doesn't hold to any high moral values.

So its NOT a good answer - anyone who wants to eschew morality and discuss pragmatism as the greater morality will do well to see its edge and failure cases.

His words should be heard because we can learn from others discussing it. The essence of free speech.

UJ - a Java VM for microcontrollers
The socialism vs capitalism debate is always super interesting. But I think from a practical standpoint, changes in technology seem to be far more achievable and impactful than fighting to change culture. The way I see history technology changes the world, and culture and society changes to keep up with it.

We all kind of understand this platonic ideal where everyone is happy, not overworked, and like or atleast don't resent their jobs. But our societies have gotten too big, complicated and interdependent. Life is far more complicated and necessarily imperfect these days. Not that I don't respect people fighting the good fight in the bowels of megacorps and governmental beauracracies to make things better. We owe a ton to idealists and do-gooders. But corporations and governments are machines, not people. A machine doesn't understand the concept of 'doing the right thing'. Our best hope in the quest for idealism is to accept that they are machines, and make them better or less important through new tech.
This looks great -- testing to actually reflect and improve rather than "prove" academic worthiness.
