> Be more private. Think more speak less. Something to think about: ADHD prevalence is between 5-15%, depending on region/study. Excessive speech is an ADHD symptom. It's part of physiology and not curable.

Thanks for the recommendation. I played couple minutes with the simulator and decided to order it. Seems exactly like something I was looking for.

Let me try in hope calculator enthusiasts are in the room: I have a need for a specific calculator for young teenager with ADHD. It has to show input and output at the same time (or at least full input), be ergonomic (backlight, nice keys)

Stumbled upon your post as I’m scouring for Clojure related content. It feels very ADHD related and I’d recommend checking yourself out. Procrastination/catch up loop is very common. And if this IS ADHD often there are no other ways th

I like the idea but would tie it to a yearly revenue + total for receiving entity and cut those in periods (10 years maybe less) in a form like: Free, 1% of revenue, 10% of revenue, 100%, 1000% etc. Thus non commercial darlings could be kep

I agree with you and I’ll add that I’ve also seen paradigm shift. Years ago it was unthinkable for software company to release open source, whereas today it’s somewhat expected (and I know it’s not an easy feat with lawyers, domain specific

I dropped of Kagi after price change, mostly because I don’t think search hit should be something I need to keep in mind when using search engine. This is a change in good direction, and I’ll happily check it once again.

There is a support for a third party blocking list which can both hint and block marketers etc (At least for phone calls not sure if it works with texts). It’s not a well known nor heavily advertised feature - I learned about it from carrie

Can I suggest adding it to a "when I'm REALLY bored" list? ;-) It took me years for Prolog to kick in and it did when I was trying to... optimize my taxes in a very complex context (e.g. where I live there's a VAT differ

Yeah, Gerrit predicates being deprecated are (in my opinion) sign how hard it is to convince people to use Prolog. If people maintaining Gerrit cannot use it (and probably there was push at Google too), then how to convince The Median Dev..

Prolog is awesome and I recommend learning it if only for kicks and experiencing foreign programming paradigm. Many concepts are expressed in a completely different and (when paradigm "kicks in") are arguably much simpler. E.g. i

The thing is that those dumber tools can do smarter things than IDEs. I had 2 use cases lately - one was to investigate usage of all function bodies that used specific library for the last 6 months. JetBrains IDE has semantic search but it

IDEs are a deep topic but I don't hold such absolute. For some languages using commercial IDEs is a very smart choice. Refactoring TypeScipt, for example, with Jetbrains IDE is a breeze, and I think it should be available in developers

Consider this: Most with ADHD are born with it. They don’t know any other world, like many colorblind don’t know they can’t see some colors. They feel just as normal as everybody, because what would they, there is no way to compare, so why

That’s a chicken-egg problem in ADHD, because ADHD is cause of sleeping problem and managing sleep pattern is one of the challenges. On the other hand proper night rest decreases severity of the symptoms. So yes, I agree that getting proper

See sibling poster for general information. There's also matter of "injecting" copyleft code from generator into your own codebase [1], e.g. GPL3 or AGPL. Few companies are blocking their employees from using it [2] quoting v

That's a very optimistic take, though. Derivative works aren't as easily re-copyrightable. And we're considering context where programmer copy-pasted code from GPT, so probably it won't be rewritten in most chunks. There

I think many commenters can’t see forest for the trees. As with most of domains there’s a curve of speciality. Most of the “don’t ever do that” is aimed for general population. I believe it’s as with the cotton swabs. While there’s a lot of
