I'm essentially the same way, with the caveat that I do occasionally go back and find something from one of those archived bookmarks. Maybe a couple times a year at most, which is all the validation my lizard brain…
If you don't mind my asking, is your caution about benzodiazepines out of concern for the addiction potential, the long-term effects (e.g. dementia risk), or something else (or a combination)?
I genuinely don't understand what point you think this article is making that backs up what you've said here -- would you mind elaborating? Full disclosure, I am diagnosed with ADHD and take stimulants daily, and…
Please don't be hard on yourself for a vacation not "fixing" whatever is ailing you. If you're depressed or have ADHD or similar, you should consider seeking professional help (e.g. therapy and/or medication, if…
> To my knowledge, you cannot scan the brain of someone with ADHD and point out an abnormality associated with the disorder. Yet we give 8 year old boys stimulant medication because they can't sit still in a classroom…
I agree with this, and disagree with the parent comment's framing of this as "going outside the chain of command", but I do think that if you have a healthy relationship and open communication with your direct manager,…
Oh totally, I can't dispute that. It's just good reading in general, but is more of a response to the grandparent comment stating "the software industry is a complete joke in terms of quality control". I think that's…

It's been mentioned a few times already but I just wanted to +1 the suggestion of considering therapy. And I don't even mean that in a "you sound like you need therapy" sense; I think therapy can be a great tool for…
The way you put this really resonates with me. Often when I'm procrastinating it's because a task seems/feels/sounds really daunting, but the "daunting" feeling is because I'm imagining just how damn hard it's going to…
Can you go into more detail on what you mean by "they don't have inventory"?
The public postmortem from the big DynamoDB outage in 2015(?) is a great example I think: https://aws.amazon.com/message/5467D2/
In the United States at least, "track and field" refers to what other countries might call "athletics" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_and_field). The term "athletics" in the US would more often be used to…
Not sure how recently it was changed, but on my phone running iOS 8.3 that setting is under Privacy -> Advertising.
Maybe not as critical in a strict financial sense, but absolutely critical in a privacy and data confidentiality sense.
I don't mean to downplay the severity of this, and I could be missing something, but I fail to see how this is a new vulnerability that TrustLook has "discovered". We've seen countless stories on HN (unless I'm wildly…
I don't follow, what are you getting at?
The Hindu article mentions 4 injured, but not 8 dead. Is there another source on the 8 dead figure?
> daemontools / supervise doesn't have it and it's a fairly popular solution. Ok, it doesn't exactly support the quoted feature ("stop restarting if it exceeds X attempts in Y seconds"), but it does sleep for a second…
Yup. I had a similar experience in college when I applied for an internship at Facebook, got back an enthusiastic-sounding response asking me for my availability for a phone screen, and then the recruiter dropped off…
Unfortunately it seems to be broken now, but reAnimator was an awesome regex visualization tool (http://osteele.com/tools/reanimator/). It let you enter a regex and would display the state machine similar to this, but…
It seems to be broken, at least in FF. I can't get anything to happen when I click on the locations. This is on FF 10.0.9 on OS X, and FF 11.0 on RHEL5.
I think you're probably right, and it's crazy that this is the way things are in NYC. I live in Seattle now (originally from the NYC area) and use Uber extensively. I would be incredibly angry if Seattle tried to pull…
What? Unless I'm misinterpreting http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2011/12/25/sports/25ivy-GF..., it seems that a 4.0 GPA and a 2400 on the SAT doesn't even get you a 240. How is a 240 AI "laughable"?
I realize that HN doesn't represent the general population, but $6k/month puts you ahead of 70% of Americans. Relatively speaking, that's a very high income, not just for a college student.
