I appreciate it being multi-paradigm as well. There are 3-4 languages in there with _great_ interoperability. As well as the ability to pull in a C library to a project with little fuss.

I've used a notebook at well and I think you'd be able to work with the same strategy. The notebook is just ephemeral thoughts that you have the impulse to take action on, so you write them down instead of acting on them. At some

The common thing I see on /r/adhd is that medication can be useful as a crutch while you develop good habits. Going off of medication does bring you back to the old norm, but you've got some good coping methods built up by th

The thing about ADHD is that you really don't get to pick what you hyperfocus on. Some days you may be focused on getting that beast, other days you may find an interesting termite mound that grabs your attention while on the hunt.

It's pretty obvious when you connect the dots, but lactose intolerance (like many things) is a spectrum. Personally, milk with my cereal occasionally is fine, but I have a pretty bad night if I mow down a full bowl of ice cream (or as

If everything else was equal, then yes, they would save money by not implementing DRM. However, what if they couldn't get the license for $MOVIE_CONTENT or $PHYSICS_ENGINE without implementing DRM? That's also extra work for them.
