A key feature of FrontPage were "WebBots", which in today's terms would be like drag and drop PHP snippets. It would be easy for such a system to allow for a comments section or whatever is necessary. The greater point about

Author here. I was mostly thinking of National Instruments' LabVIEW and disassembly programs like IDA and Ghidra. Those in particular have actual callgraphs, although LabVIEW is a graphical language anyways so of course it would. You m

It could simply be that growing up in an environment where being taught music is possible (with tutors and teachers and instruments all paid for) is correlated with doing better in school. If you're growing up with parents who struggle

At least from my own experience, my own website is hosted on a simple $5/mo DigitalOcean droplet with a simple Flask backend that basically just converts Markdown to HTML and generates index pages and RSS and embed metadata and such. I

IMO, a really easy way to start would be with a GitHub pages repo[1] or a Neocities site[2]. You really shouldn't need anything more than basic HTML and CSS for most blogs. If you want tags or sidebars or RSS, you can use a static site

That sounds exactly like what the ADHD community calls a "hyperfixation". If you do want to look down the ADHD path more, here's some articles and such that might be helpful. Obviously, see a therapist about all of this and g

I'm obviously not a doctor, so take my words with a healthy dosage of salt, but do understand that different medications can have different effects on you. There's multiple types of ADHD medication (the two most common families ar

Went to my therapist. Explained my symptoms. Took a few tests, got a diagnosis, fiddled with medications and dosages for a while, did some more therapy, and I seem to be in a good spot now. Obviously, YMMV regarding the effectiveness of you

I (and other people with ADHD) have trouble getting motivated not just for boring tasks, but any task. Even things we want to do. I doubt you've ever procrastinated playing your favorite video game, but I do. A lot. Stimulants also e

Would my symptoms disappear? Unlikely. They've been with me my whole life. Would my symptoms be an issue ? Possibly not, depending on how brutal the camping experience is. I will concede that this semester I've reduced my workloa

Hi, author here. Since I wrote this article, I got professionally diagnosed and treated. Turns out, yeah, I'm doing a lot better now. On most days I don't have these symptoms, I can in fact study for classes and work, while als

That's a fair take. I was trying something out and I wasn't sure how well it would work. Maybe just slightly lighter/darker text would work better.

A certain level of procrastination is healthy. We're not meant to be machines, constantly productive 24/7. Downtime to enjoy your life, consume creative works, and unwind is good. I'm not talking about that here. I'm tal

Procrastination is a tricky beast. I'm not going to discount advice like this, because it is helpful. But it is only one piece of the puzzle. There's a stark difference between "I don't quite feel like starting this

That's good to know, thank you. Really this is more of a what-if thought experiment than anything serious right now.

Water is a vital human necessity. It's literally impossible to live without it. Is it possible to have that just be a public service? The idea that everything needs to generate revenue just feels absurd when just having a water founta

Neocities[1] and tilde servers like tilde.town[2] is a pretty large hub of old-internet sites. It's a free Geocities-like host that's home to a lot of neat, creative sites. You can also get a VPS for about $5/mo and have your

I know exactly which screensaver you're talking about. (I think I still have it, too.) It was an old Windows 3.1 screensaver that came with a CD of various Canon utilities, like a demo of Crayola Art and this cross-stitching program.
