23 for me - this year in fact! It's somewhat harder for PI adults I think because there's a long trail of failures that are perfect explained through the lens of ADHD-PI. Even harder with vivid long term memory.

All the school reports that say "James could do better if he stopped daydreaming|looking out the window and focused more". I was lucky I that I came out with absolutely decent GCSEs (mostly As and Bs) but unlucky in that I felt shame and now defeat that I could have done much, much better. College was a write-off, I attempted 3 times but gave in after 3 months each time because the stress caused my inastentiveness in lessons made horrendously boring stoked psychosis which landed me in hospital each time.

A lot of my life seems wasted having not known about ADHD-Pi (and of course my parents and educators), except for programming and computers which not only kept me in some degree sane (I could have been worse) but also led me into a job that seems matched to my traits and with a manager that is willing to overlook my big flaws because he thinks my skills with a computer far outweigh them.

What a journey. I say there's enough to write a book but I've just never got round to it...

That's a crazy story, I could never imagine myself not sleeping for 72 hours!! When I mess up my sleeping schedule pretty bad (which happened a lot back in college), I usually do sleep paralysis when falling asleep (as opposed to when waking up). And I can do it 6 or 7 times in a row, it's a nightmare. Usually though, I realize what's going on (it's happened to me so. many. times.) after the second or third 'paralysis' and sleep on my stomach, which for some reason, allows me to fall asleep without the whole paralysis thing going on. You can actually turn sleep paralysis into a lucid dream if you 'control' it properly. I usually just wake up thinking 'thank god I'm alive' though.

For those interested in sleep paralysis, wikipedia's got a pretty good page about it:

I had a similar experience when my child was born. The birth took about two full days, the last 36 hours of which I didn't sleep. And the first week I slept about 3 hours a night with maybe a few naps during the day.

The strange thing was, I could still function. I couldn't do anything complex, but basic tasks where not much of a problem. However, when I finally had a moment to really sleep. I couldn't. It felt like every time I had to get up to do something, I got an adrenalin rush to be able to do it and all that excitement prevented me from falling a sleep.

I fortunately didn't have any hallucinations, but I can relate to the lucid dreaming. Aside from lack of sleep, I also seem to have this after a very stressful day. I wonder if it is stress related.

Routine maintenance is prudent for any system. Sleep is a maintenance mode.

At night, the sun goes down, it gets cold, predators come out. You save a ton of energy and maybe your life by avoiding activity at that time. When its cold you burn extra calories just to stay warm.

That's interesting. I do think that the 'mood' of your face is important. I've struggled with this issue when I was in school.

I looked kind of shy/nerdy when I was younger.

The emotional feedback which I got from people reinforced my tendency of being shy. I felt like people were struggling to 'figure me out' and this made social interactions unpleasant.

Now I don't care much about how people respond. I probably come across as extroverted. I like to think that I fixed this using sheer willpower, but maybe it's also because my face matured over time.

Section 6.3.4.2
One angle not touched on here is the link between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep. There has always been evidence that AD patients sleep less than the general population, but obviously there's a chicken and egg problem here - are they sleeping less because of neuronal disruption caused by the disease, or is the disease progression catalyzed by a lack of sleep[1-3]? While I think this is still an open question, there's growing research that interaction with sleep related systems in the brain can have a major therapeutic impact on the disease itself - obviously this doesn't actually answer if it's 'sleep' or some process related to sleep, but clearly something is going on here [4].

From the press release associated with [4];

The new research, in mice, demonstrates that eliminating the protein – called orexin – made mice sleep for longer periods of time and strongly slowed the production of brain plaques.

“This indicates we should be looking hard at orexin as a potential target for preventing Alzheimer’s disease,” said senior author David M. Holtzman, MD, head of the Department of Neurology. “Blocking orexin to increase sleep in patients with sleep abnormalities, or perhaps even to improve sleep efficiency in healthy people, may be a way to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. This is important to explore further.”

There is not even a connection. During the RTCPeerConnection's "ICE Gathering" process local IPs are discovered and, if STUN/TURN servers are configured within the RTCPeerConnection, STUN requests are sent to those servers (which help retrieving the public IP of the computer/router). But you don't need even to send a single packet in order to get local IPs (private ones, VPN ones, etc).
Hmmm! some nice stuff there besides the "hnwatch" itself:

- it's apparently written in "FASM" assembler, which is BSD-licensed (according to Wikipedia), cross-platform, self-hosting (?), Intel-syntax (my preferred camp), and also has an experimental "g" version supporting output targetting JVM, AVR & other fancy stuff (customizable via "macroinstructions"): http://www.flatassembler.net/download.php

- IIUC, this "hnwatch" page is at the same time kinda delicate & non-pushy advertisement for the author's (authors'?) multipurpose ASM library named "HeavyThing" (i.e. kinda custom "stdlib"): https://2ton.com.au/HeavyThing/ (which seems to be required to build "hnwatch"? It wasn't clear to me initially) - worth some more highlight, I believe.

As a sideways wishful-thinking comment regarding the highlighter used for showcasing the hnwatch sources: I'd much prefer if syntax was not highlighted (i.e. the eye-piercing blue '[' & ']'), but instead the "call" instructions would, as well as "jmp" and variants (with a different colour), user symbols (different colour again) including especially labels (another colour please). Also, if there were somewhat more comments in the sources. Also, in https://2ton.com.au/library_as_html/hnwatch/textify.inc.html, the highlighter seems to have gone awry.

Extra bonus points if the software is something you use regularly.

Cheers!

Naturally, if you can look at a program which is now twice as fast and be unimpressed you are looking at the wrong metric.

It's understandable though in the context of the sequence of actions you might be going through as a tinkerer (as opposed to a scientist). You start with a list of functions and the % of time they take. Improving the top one will have the biggest effect, so this is a good thing to look at when deciding what to to. Then you go back to the same list afterwards.

I can see this (and lots of variations of this) happening

Microsoft could have added this years ago if they wanted to prioritize it.

I remember several years ago as a Microsoft dev when my boss thought Silverlight mattered and he had me trying to make the styles work exactly the same as WPF.

We were working on military software and they wanted browser-based apps, so we were building WPF hosted in a browser mixed with some ActiveX map component. About 5% of the software was _actually_ web based. The rest was just "let's jam MS-exclusive shit in IE".

Why isn't it done yet? Same story as the last decade of HTML 5 stalling and lies: a powerful compatible web conflicts with their business model.

If it made business sense then some of those resources used to build the numerous MS component technologies that have been developed and extremely successful over the last 20 years, from VB, OLE/ActiveX, to various .NET/WPF/XAML, Silverlight, etc. would have been applied to something like web components.

The engineers may not be stalling, but the business priorities direct the engineering.

Its like people asking Palmer Lucky about VR standards. Of course he is going to give you a load of bullshit about how it is really hard or whatever. They have absolute market dominance in VR headgear, like MS has in component technology. SteamVR is to Oculus as MS component systems are to Web Components.

If MS or Oculus actually tried to embrace standards, it could literally result in billions of dollars going to competitors instead of them.
