Automating Your SOA Ruby Development Environment Using Foreman and Bash
I've been suffering from ADHD all my life but only got diagnosed when I was 30. I still haven't taken any meds yet but a diagnosis alone in my childhood probably would have helped with preventing neurosis originating from a school-time worth of derogatory remarks by teachers like "you are a lazy, lazy boy" and "please be quiet, you are inferior anyways". Drugging kids (especially at the very low age of 2-3, no problems advancing in school yet etc) surely must be a function of the pharmaceutical industry trying to make money with overtly fearful parents ("Will my child be able to compete?").

It's all wrong.

On the general "over-diagnosis" of ADHD, my problematic social-darwinist opinion: I believe that especially in the US there might really be more people with ADHD brains (in the end leaving your continent to settle on a new one is still perceived as something bold to do in 2014 - think of how much more risky this must have felt over the first couple of centuries after the discovery of America).

I can also think of many reasons why people are willing to take medication these days - all of them probably boil down to being profoundly desperate. I remember my grandfather who died last year at age 90, he clearly had all the traits of severe ADHD but he also had a secretary (cue "Mad Men" generation) and so didn't need to manage all the minutiae himself and was very successful at his job at a big company fully capitalizing his creative/impulsive side. This is a luxury most people with ADHD don't have any more as we are expected to do a lot more different, often detail oriented little jobs in-between - so to be able to do a somewhat acceptable job with those kinds of tasks it drives people towards drugs like Adderall, Ritalin etc (I'm constantly abusing caffeine myself, it doesn't help much but again I'm desperate). I can't tell you how devastating it feels when people who don't understand our different wiring shout at you to "simply just fucking do it" when you are really, really trying hard to do just that. It's terrible and drives a lot of people towards alcohol and heavy drug addictions. I've read somewhere that a very high percentage of the jail population actually has ADHD.
That's a pretty big deal considering that I only have one Android tablet and no iPads.

And focusing on Reid lets the actual bad actors continue to get away with it. Reid is a symptom. Or do you honestly think that if Reid is voted out or loses his leadership post for this kind of behavior, the next guy won't step up, hands out in supplication to the very same special interests?
I think when we are little children we learn that when our parents or other adults tell us we are good, we are good, and when they tell us we are bad, we are bad.

For the kinds of things that a child deals with, they were possibly or probably accurate most of the time (unless your parents were alcoholics or something---and one of mine was; then you get told or treated as "bad" all the time).

So your brain just learns to operate this way, until you retrain it.

And retrain it, you must. Because the kinds of things adults deal with are much more complicated, plus some adults take advantage of others, are dishonest, don't think things through thoroughly, make mistakes, etc. So if you don't retrain your brain in this regard, you will constantly get "punished" by other adults judging you negatively.

The question is, how to retrain it? In a nutshell, I think the answer is: it just happens automatically by consciously thinking about this issue every time it is relevant. e.g. when my adviser says something that threatens my self-esteem, I remember the principle that his judgement may not be correct, and that it should not affect my self-esteem, and then come up with my own honest, meticulous judgement, which should and does affect my self-esteem. (If you aren't "honest" and "meticulous", you won't really trust your own judgement, so it won't sink in and the whole technique won't work.)

Those are my thouhgts/strategies, hope it's helpful.

I appreciate your point about recommendations. My adviser's judgement does matter for that, just not for my self-esteem, and you have to separate the two, because they are different things. I think I'll probably be OK on the merit of eventually publishing the code I am working on (plus some more papers), which will mean more than anything my adviser could say for the kind of work I want to potentially do (though I might actually just totally change fields after I graduate [1]).

And don't worry, if you keep looking and refuse to give up, changes are very, very high that you will find something as fulfilling as programming could have been, had you actually enjoyed it more. I guess you've already figured this out though since you mentioned planning to study neurosci.

[1] Because the kind of programming I like doing is really cutitng edge and research-y. I like solving really challenging problems slowly and carefully and thoroughly. Not sure I'll find this in industry and not sure I could live with "just normal" programming.

One of the best experiences I have had in a small museum was at the the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg, FL. They have an amazing collection, but the best part was that there were frequent docent-led guided tours. I got more out of that visit than nearly any other museum I've ever been to (which is a ton).

When I go to museums without this, I bring printed guided tours to follow (Rick Steves has a bunch, but there are others). The good ones have a them, take you to specific pieces and tell a story that puts them in a cohesive context.

The best audio guided tour I have had was at Graceland -- there, it's mandatory (too crowded) and you follow along a linear route through the house. The reason it was great was that Pricilla Presley is the tour guide and they can incorporate Elvis's voice and music.

I was once asked to acquire 'one yard of gig line'.

http://www.ask.com/question/what-is-a-gig-line
You have sort of a logical fallacy there. You're presuming that people assume "if (bloodshed) then (reform)" but I think what is generally assumed is "if not(bloodshed) then not(reform)". Using boolean algebra, let p be (bloodshed) and q be (reform), then what is assumed is !p -> !q which (and it's been a little while since my boolean algebra classes) would be identical to q -> p, i.e. the inverse of what you said, reform implies that there was bloodshed or rather that reform cannot happen without bloodshed. In that light, I think how many people naively supposing that reform can only come from bloodshed is pretty surprising. However, it seems to be the case that the threat of bloodshed tends to be a strong motivator for action; however, the action is not always what's desired. What is viewed as an external threat (e.g. Oklahoma City Bombing, McVeigh et al are viewed as dangerous extremists not "America's own sons") and thus reaction to their wishes--apparently that the US move away from a dominant federal government--was largely in the reverse; whether by their actions or others, the federal government since 1995 has probably gotten considerably more powerful.

I think I understand what you're saying. Allowing them to learn at their own pace would still be doing something, though.

In school, whenever a new concept was introduced, I often found that I understood it pretty quickly, but that we'd spend days on the topic while several other students in class struggled to grasp it. During that time, I was expected to sit there and pay attention -- even though it was a waste of time. Even creative outlets, like drawing, were not allowed. If I could have used that time to learn something new on my own, through the Internet or whatever else, that would have been a lot better than just sitting there. Even just letting the students who understand the topic out to play or something until the next topic is introduced would be better and more productive than just having them sit there.

Once I got to college it got a lot better -- I was able to skip classes that I knew would be a waste of time and do more productive things, or bring a laptop to class and do something else when the professor was explaining something I already understood. But prior to college I didn't own a laptop -- not that it would have been allowed even if I did!

properly salted hashs can still harm many peple. You could still run a brute force on the top 10k most common passwords and with ~150m averge computer users, you're going to get a few. And you have their email address. There's a good chance they're using the same password for email. Now you have their email.
I don't think hashing an address is a very good way to store it, recovery might take a while.

Likely the poster means person information. Name, date of birth, address, back up email, phone number should be encrypted. Even just using the users password as a key would be better then clear text.

Entering Moldova is easy if you're a US citizen; the visa is granted upon entry, with no fee.

Entering Transnistria is trickier...

You need to fill out a customs form, either at the "border" (a buffer zone which includes Russian "peacekeepers") or in advance if you know someone who has a stack of empty forms.

Then you'll submit the customs form to the guards at the border and be subjected to questioning and possibly a bribe demand. If you do everything right, you'll be allowed to enter. A portion of the customs form will be teared off, stamped, and given to you to hold.

(In my case, I was traveling with someone affiliated with the local football (soccer) team. He convinced the border guards that I'm an American player being tried out for the local team, which got us through the border with relative ease. It helped that I was wearing aforementioned Adidas track pants and have the physical build of a football player. It did not help that I was not told about this plan ahead of time, but thankfully they only questioned him and not me.)

The clock is now ticking, because this stamp is only good for 24 hours. If you intend to stay overnight (>24 hrs), you need to find the "Ministry of Interior" and go through another round of questioning and paperwork (and again, possible bribe demands) before receiving a multi-day stamp.

Oh, and this "Ministry of Interior" is actually just a police booth somewhere deep inside in Tiraspol (the capitol), next to several abandoned factories, crumbling homes, and roaming chickens. Good luck finding it.

Getting out is just as, uh, fun.

I agree on this point. I think wintel disrupted IBM in the fortune 500 terminal space with PCs. which is eating the mainframe. but I think a technology change needs to happen to disrupt a space. You have to have some kind of strategic advantage that the compitition doesn't have gonig for them.

>It's fine to say "change the environment" but that's not always an option.

I think that's more up to the individual than the institution. My own story is a typical "I didn't know I had ADHD until it was too late," and I do wonder if I would have a better life if I just went straight into the workforce instead of spending a couple extra years trying to finish college and not realizing why its so hard for me. I even had a decent IT job in college, but thought it so shameful not to have a college degree that I quit to continue my studies and, of course, get deeper into debt. Maybe some personality types just don't work well in those environments. Insert typical "higher education isn't for everyone" debate here.

>Not to mention the "hunter-gatherer vs farmer" dichotomy doesn't explain the rise of ADHD diagnoses in the last 20 years

Maybe because society has reached a point where we can discuss these things without the idea of punishment and without applying morality to it? ADHD kids in the past were beaten, called losers, call sinful, called stupid, etc. Society hit them as hard as it could, yet it didn't fix anything. We've moved away from that mode of thinking and realized that some kids just aren't going to grow out of it and its not their fault. The same way that Alzheimers has been part of the human condition for god knows how long yet we only "discovered" it 1906. Before that, we just thought it was part of getting old and didn't realize its actually separate from aging the same way ADHD is separate from being an energetic child.

> Certainly it's less addictive than caffeine.

Getting off caffeine is trivial. Adderal withdrawal can be very serious for many people. I consider most ADHD meds to be pretty serious drugs. I don't think that's very controversial.

Actually, it pretty much exists in the U.S. too. The internal structures of most government agencies and large corporations are essentially feudal. The only difference is that the barons (a.k.a. middle-level management) fight over budget allocations rather than physical territory, and the battles are conducted with memos and powerpoint decks rather than swords. But other than that, it's pretty much the same thing.
