That's a whole different topic, even though to an outsider they may seem related by the stimuli concept. ADHD is an impulse control disorder. Increasing the stimulus levels of positive things around such a person induces a natural focus to those things. Reducing stimuli would alternately induce sleep or painful boredom that will express itself in highly random and chaotic ways after a short time.

Sometimes I think it would be a good idea to turn everything off and read a book. When I wake up after trying that I realize how many times I've tried it before and it's at least a few days before I get the idea again...
Would you mind listing some more? I'm particularly interested in history podcasts myself.
can you run linux VMs on azure? i think so.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm suggesting that it be considered a characteristic, and not an external force. This way, we don't grow dualistic, differentiating between oneself and one's brain.

I guess it's the dualism here that I'm criticizing, not ADHD itself. See the fourth paragraph:

"if you have the 'illness,' the real problem is that, to your brain, the world that you live in essentially feels not very interesting."

This distinction between "you" and "your brain" is what bothers me.
This is true (something like junegunn's fzf is even faster than either), but I think the tradeoff is between performance and consistency of interface. Unite can provide the same interactions for recent files, buffers, file navigation, grep results, etc.
Any .NET folks making use of ClojureCLR?

I agree. I initially found many recommendations to bind "," as leader, and it was convenient, but after learning what ";" and "," do, I've changed my leader to <space>.
Delightful end user experience you say? I happened to be visiting my father and to my surprise he pulled out a Surface 3. He turned it on and it ... spent 90 minutes rolling back some service pack because Dad had had the temerity to put the device to sleep when the service pack was being installed. Needless to say, all the end users in the family were delighted by this endless administrivia.
OTOH, I really wish they released a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7. It takes over 4 hours to download and install all the updates since SP1. I understand they want all of us to upgrade to Windows 8, but not at the cost of making existing user's life difficult
I had put neovim out of mind and settled for emacs/evil, but seeing an actual use case for the new plugin system makes me hopeful for it's fast growth and adoption.
At Tachyus (http://tachyus.com) we have made a huge bet on F#, and it has paid off in spades. The back end of our SaaS product is 99%+ F#, and so far we have had a great experience using Azure for hosting. Our iOS apps are also built using 99%+ F# (using Xamarin, on Mono rather than .Net). The language allows us to write highly expressive code, and fewer lines of code overall.

Using a Microsoft language has given us huge productivity benefits (most notably Visual Studio and Azure support). There is a fantastic F# community (http://fsharp.org) which is untethered to Microsoft, and it's exciting to see the language grow as an open-source and cross-platform tool.

It seems like quite the reckless statement to claim that tablets you are not aware of are suitable for something.
It doesn't increase throughput much because most of the time editing/typing is not the bottleneck. Thinking is.

But it is frustrating to reach for mouse and click several times for a task that can be easily done quickly with keyboard. In another words, it interrupts the flow.
Much as I like vim, I think IntelliJ is still better than whatever tools one can cobble together for pure Python development.
That's a silly attitude that even Microsoft isn't pushing anymore. How do you rationalize it against the rumored upcoming Office support for iOS and Android?
So how do you do this in software? Consulting? Startup? I'm a couple years into my first software development job out of school and barely get through the moderate amount of work that's assigned to me right now. I'm afraid of switching to another development job where more would be expected of me (consulting! startups!). Without having these problems under control I may not be reliable despite my talent.

Over the last month or so I've been reading up on product management and it sounds like a good fit. Interact with people, track markets, discover problems, craft creative solutions, have other people figure out the exact implementation... Lately I've been trying to discover broad problems and their solutions in my current position, and it seems to be helping (helps me feel like I'm actually contributing, at least). I don't know any product managers to talk to about their day-to-day stuff though. Has anyone with ADHD found that to be a good career path?
I've been using git-annex as a podcatcher (http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/git-annex_as_a_podcatcher/) which is pretty nice and lets you update the index without actually downloading anything (using the --relaxed flag). It's set up to run periodically with launchd.

Virtru | https://virtru.com/how-it-works | Washington, D.C. | Fulltime | Javascript fullstack, Android, iOS, .NET

== Who we are ==

Everyone has a right to keep their digital content private and secure. We founded Virtru because we believe that exercising that right should be easy and convenient.

Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and email provider with the flip of a switch.

Our browser extension for Chrome and Firefox allows you to send and receive encrypted email directly from Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.com. Our Android and iOS mobile apps and Outlook desktop plugin work with any provider that uses IMAP.

Our full time team of 16 is currently 50% engineers. We value automated testing, readable/maintainable code, documentation, and code reviews. We run in 2 week sprints and dedicate about 20% of total capacity to things the dev team thinks are important (technical debt, refactors, exploring a new technology, etc) while the rest goes to feature development and addressing bugs.

We are well capitalized with investments from Bessemer Venture Partners [0] and private investors.

== Current positions ==

- Full stack NodeJS/Javascript developer. Our backend runs on NodeJS (with dabbles of Python), our frontend uses Angular and Backbone (looking to consolidate!), and our browser extensions use our internal javascript framework to run in Chrome and Firefox.

- Android developer

- iOS/Mac OS developer

- .NET developer to support our Outlook desktop plugin

I work on the backend, so I can provide some details on that role. Our client facing API services are built on Express.js. We run in the AWS cloud and are looking for someone with deep experience deploying/maintaining services/infrastructure who can also help add new functionality to the application layer.

Some things we play with on the backend: NodeJS, ExpressJS, passport, AWS (EC2, SQS, ElastiCache), Packer, Salt Stack, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), HAProxy.

Some more information is listed here: https://www.virtru.com/careers.

== Get in touch ==

If you care about privacy and are interested in creating security products at a company which thinks that user experience is a first class citizen, please get in touch! Send a secure email (using Virtru!) to feedback@virtru.com with subject “HN who is hiring response” and tell us what interests you about Virtru. It would be great if you can provide some sample code that we can check out (github, bitbucket, etc).

If you have any questions, I’ll monitor this thread and/or you can email me directly (email in profile).

> overcome ADHD-like symptoms

First, good for you -- really!

Second, it's very important in discussions like this to qualify the target audience. A LOT of people have SOME of the symptoms, even to levels that impair their lives. NOT a lot of those people have full-blown ADHD.

If you have SOME symptoms and things like that help you, that's fantastic. In my direct and social experiences, however, those with clinical ADHD diagnoses are assisted with such suggestions, but very rarely do they improve things to the point that there is no longer a significant impairment to that person's life. THAT is when medication is a good fit: clinical diagnosis, life and environment changes haven't significantly helped, and there is still a negative impairment on one's life.
Weird is how many of the bad employers are Indians themselves (or I think so, given they're names):

Krishnan Kumar, from Softech

Malini Sridhar, from Compsys Technologies (found through http://appext20.dos.ny.gov/ )

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, part of India’s Tata group

Even the lawyers suing these employees :

> Past president of the South Asian Bar Association of Georgia, attorney Roy Banerjee has a penchant for wearing bow ties and representing body shops. He has prevailed in many cases against Indian immigrant programmers, winning judgments or settlements from some, while others fled back to India.
This bullying persists at the bottom of a complex system
that supplies workers to some of America’s richest and
most successful companies, such as Cisco Systems, Verizon
and Apple.

I find this extremely confusing, why companies like Facebook and Apple and others in SV, that're sitting on an unbelievable shitload of cash take filthy shortcuts like this, screw the very people that work for them so badly. I mean, seriously, I'm at a loss for words. Why? Why not just pay them a reasonable wage when you are more than capable enough to?
> Any child born on US soil is a automatically a US citizen according to the Fourteenth Amendment

I wonder how this interacts with 8 USC 1401(b)? That says:

The following shall be nationals and citizens of the
United States at birth:
...
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an
Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe: Provided,
That the granting of citizenship under this subsection shall
not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of such
person to tribal or other property;

The 14th says "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside". Shouldn't that make the "Provided, [...]" part of 1401(b) not be effective?

I suppose that 1401(b) would still be meaningful in the case where someone is born in the United States to an Indian, Eskimo, etc., but is not considered to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for some reason. Then the 14th would not grant them citizenship, but 1401(b) would as long as that did not impair their tribal rights.

That raises the question of when someone can be born in the United States but not subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

Then what do you do if the passed tuple has zero length?

Dynamically rewriting the SQL isn't going to be tractable in all cases - doing `IN (NULL)` might be a valid value - and throwing an exception is poor form for an actually valid case.
"There isn't a further explanation, so we're not exactly sure what he means."

So why assume what he means, exactly?
iOS on iPad, especially after the redesign in iOS 7, has always felt like it was merely scaled up from iPhone. Because, for the most part, it was. I believe Apple could do a lot more with iPad UI to make it more suitable for larger screen sizes and content creation. Rumors about things like split screen multitasking make me hopeful, though.
I tried consulting. I couldn't self-motivate to self-imposed deadlines. Barely averted disaster. Never again.

Tried a startup. Same problem. Worse result.

Now I startup surf as a developer, but only to interesting projects. If I work on a boring project, I'm going to wind up behind schedule. One I learned that about myself, I adjusted my job searches to fit (as much as possible).

Project management? I suppose if I weren't the one actually doing it that would work. But if you switch early on, you're stuck with it. I'd get a few more years of software on your resume before bailing. That gives you experience with various kinds of scheduling and PMs and a better idea of the PM you'll want to be.

Steve Aoki's Delirious Remix. What do you think about it?
Post your writing. Get an editor. Get published.
That's an excellent consideration that I think comes with any drop-in functionality - ultimately there's nothing we can do to control the quality of the code/stylesheet/HTML/whatever else that we're pulling in. In Rails you can get into a special kind of dependency hell like this if you aren't careful, though my thought is that one of the most significant concerns with bootstrap templates specifically is related to the general size of the template itself (assuming it is correctly implemented, of course). What do you think would be a way to improve the utility of these templates, taking as read that developer time to replicate the functionality is likely at a premium?
I don't have a short attention span and I'm not hyperactive. I spend a lot of time thinking about things. I deduce things noticeably faster than my peers as long as it's not socially related. I have intense focus as long as something remains stimulating. When things lose my interest or are pointless they become tedious and it's not about attention span. I cannot stop worrying about assigned tasks to the point of anxiety. There is a mental barrier and I cannot work on the task despite intentions and efforts to do so. Medications don't really help me. They do at first, then they become less effective. An interesting side note about meds: The first time on meds I finally could see social cues and body language. It was a whole new world. I still see them off the meds now that I know about them but I may have trouble understanding what they mean due to lack of experience in receiving those signals. Getting proper sleep, nutrition, and having regular, serious exercise help more than meds. The affliction is very real. Just because you can't see it or refuse to believe in it doesn't change the fact that it impacts the lives of others.
Why would it surprise you, given that they are the ones having local knowledge on both sides of the trade?
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 12. Classic, "textbook" example of one. I felt like it was a curse until I was about 20. I was put on Focalin, Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse over those years.. they all made me calm and focused. Without my meds, I used to live in my head all day, theorizing how the universe and neurons work.. playing with ideas, twisting shapes in my mind. I was also prone to depression, anxiety, and I hated dealing with emotions.

Then one day, when I was about 23, I did LSD and cannabis together. My whole world came crashing down, and I realized that ADHD was a label that limited my true potential, and made me judgmental of "neurotypicals". After my trip, I realized that I lost about 75% of my visual-spatial ability (I felt out of it for a year or so as I missed having that ability), but I also felt more at peace, open-minded, and in the present moment. I also became a "doer", rather than a "thinker". I do not use any meds at all now; I meditate in the morning for at least 20 minutes, and try to run at least once a week.

With that said, I still like variety, and am a jack of all trades. Last time I did freelance, I loved doing marketing research, design, coding, programming and social media.
As someone with clinically-diagnosed "severe ADHD" I use that language all the time. I want to do something. My mind won't let me.

It really is like a devil on my shoulder sometimes.

"I want to read a book."

"No."

"Really! It's good! We've done this be-"

"No. Look, shiny!"

"Neat! Now, the book..."

"No. We're going to watch a show now."

Sigh.
I take my 54mg of Concerta (time released Ritalin - methylphenidate - ie, pure government speed) every morning.

6th startup now? They hit about 100 people and I move on. Wonder why?

Job wise in the startup I am the "fixer". The get it done guy. I wonder why?
That's hardly surprising. Those who sold Africans into slavery were often other Africans.

The primary utility is the Operating System.

It's designed to be manageable with traditional desktop apps.

I can't speak to how well other manufacturers get the hardware to work with the software, but if Microsoft can get it right I assume others can too.
Having worked at an ad agency and startups, if you can find an interesting startup you're going to be in a much easier place when it comes to motivation. It may not solve everything, but it'll make things easier.
I was playing around with it and it's fairly unstable, playing a blank message ex: "", seemed to crash the engine, and playing large pieces of text also seemed to crash it, the only thing that resolved the issue was restarting chrome.
I recognize editor preferences is a deeply personal taste but it's been very different for me. :) I used to swear by IntelliJ but after taking a day to configure Sublime Text (and then vim), I very much prefer them.
That might be true in the future, but speaking from the present, this is how it is.

For perspective, I have written Android apps using AIDE on a Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I also manipulate docs and spreadsheets using google's systems (which are adequate for making quick edits, but not something i would sit down and write with for an extended amount of time).
What happens if you power off an iPad (or any other device, for that matter) in the middle of a system update?

Atleast his mistake didn't brick it and Windows was smart enough to make sure that didn't happen.
In my experience it is great - I use it to store a lot of common documents I don't want to carry around on a thumb drive that is easy to lose. However, my use is primarily non-public facing - storing personal documents and the like. I particularly find the spreadsheet tool in Google Drive useful for storing quick calculations I want to access on the fly, such as notes on an ongoing task or budget projections for my personal finances.

For sharing personal documents, I tend to use Dropbox more than Google Drive, though. In my experience people without tech expertise tend to get a handle on Dropbox more quickly than on Google Drive, though it largely depends upon the people you are sharing with.
For the record, Facebook, at least, says that it does not use labor brokers:

Some companies say they shun labor brokers; a Facebook official told CIR that
her company does not use them. Others who rely on them renounce the abuses but
are quick to deflect responsibility.
You can always slipstream the updates onto the installation media yourself.
I can tell you that even my Nexus 7 is rather abysmal at handling Google Docs documents. The Bluetooth keyboard connection is flaky at best, gets much worse when Wi-Fi is turned on (which makes working on a cloud document rather inconvenient), the typing often lags far behind the keyboard, it's hard to do anything beyond the basics (e.g. I actually need footnotes to cite things in the work I'm doing), etc. etc.

I haven't used a Surface but from Mike K.'s description it certainly seems like it could better handle some of those tasks. Maybe Lollipop will help, but I won't be able to tell until the OTA loads.
Download pangu8 jailbreak with English support
I do like the Surface 3; it's a lovely piece of hardware, Windows 8.1 is an improvement, and for a desktop OS, the touch interface is pretty good. It's the best Windows computer I've ever owned, but I still turn to my Linux laptop for coding; the tooling and packaging for the languages I use just isn't really there on Windows.

That said, they need to improve their messaging - this is the first time, as a Surface 3 owner, that I've heard about this Surface Hub app that lets me adjust my pen sensitivity (and I've wanted that for a while!).
That's an interesting story. I've read that even one use of LSD can alter the brain (similar to this: http://www.livescience.com/16287-mushrooms-alter-personality...).
Perhaps you might consider sticking to making recommendations about things that you know, instead of stuff you just assume; builds more credibility.
