Social workers are very often sent to help people experiencing mental health crises, including those with a history of violence. Particularly in countries other than the US it’s very much the norm. It’s not a theoretical situation. It sound

The need to manage information about evolving systems gave rise to the world wide web ( https://home.cern/science/computing/birth-web/short-history-... ). But the need to share "patterns" is what gave

I believe that FogBugz used this approach, back in the day (with a SQL Server backend). The reasoning was that customers data couldn't ever leak into each other, and moving a customer to a different server was easier. I vaguely recall

I definitely agree. Microsoft Azure also, I feel customers have a very big part in the direction. (And right from day 1, long before azure, Microsoft focused on having “partner networks” which meant that although you weren’t dealing with Bi

Decision work is hard work. Where there's a decision to be made, put that as a serious item on your todo list. Then get it done -- as in -- do the necessary research to make a good decision, make the decision, and then tick it off. You

All of which you did inside a simulated world built for spying on you. There’s no theoretical ability to verify the whole stack.

I like the example based approach. I learn from examples far quicker than I learn from “explanations”. If I attempt to learn from an example and my brain hits an exception, only then do I start reading the supporting text. Nice approach. Yo

If you know “get-command”, “get-member” and “help”, it’s quite discoverable.

Not to harp on about medications, but there are “non-stimulant” medications used to successfully treat ADHD as well, such as Strattera. On the non-medicine side, techniques like bullet journaling are useful, also having “accountability part

The stimulant caffeine is a popular alternative (provided you’re not overly sensitive to it [it can cause heart palpitations and anxiety], and don’t take it too late in the day) — lots of people use it to self-medicate ;)

Yeh. That’s a significant finding. Honestly. People with ADHD can most definitely be productive and generally considered accomplished. They just tend to have put a lot of effort in, their whole lives, in order to get there, and may have dev

Have you considered the possibility that you may have ADHD-inattentive-type? There are online tests based on DSM criteria that can show you if it’s worth looking deeper into, such as this one: https://psychcentral.com/quizze

Look at the “our team” section. No one on the team has any medical or biological experience. If they did, I’d be researching them further and contacting them independently to verify. But there’s no one worth following up. Flagging this as a

“Range” by David Epstein goes into this at length. Studies about “mastery” that indicate you should stick to a single instrument tend to be about classical music where you’re playing (generously: ‘interpreting’) existing pieces, which is ve
