Hehe, you have so many things running 24/7 in your house already. Refrigerator, freezer, heating system, laptops in standby, printers in standby, routers in standby or active 24/7, HVAC systems etc.

Can we please change the name "Stanford" to something else? It offends me. "Stan" looks like "Satan" and "ford" is an automobile brand which makes me think of combustion engines and global warming. I

Spot on. And I would rather say that Atom was an engineering feat in terms of that they developed Electron and tree-sitter. One also has to take into account that Atom started long before VS Code so for sure the VS Code team could make much

Yes, the issue with Linux is not Linux. It's the hardware. Mainly the processor. I'm amazed that Qualcomm, Broadcom or someone else cannot release a decent ARM based processor that can compete with the M1 in terms of performance a

Sure, but the parent I commented on said "Building their machines takes a long time" as a reason for not building it out. Which I think is a bad reason. I agree with you that the need maybe will not be there exactly when they have

For sure, if it really is ADHD, I'm all in for treatments if they work well for the patient. It's just that so many here on HN and elsewhere think they need medicines because they have problems to focus at work or in school or whi

The issue with your reasoning is that what you describe is not ADHD. It's not a decease. It's nothing wrong. It's normal. It's human. It's pathetic to read about how people take drugs or want to take drugs because t
