In a way, this post gives me the same feeling I had when I read the story of Terry Davis, author of Temple OS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_A._Davis), and his gradual slide into homelessness. OP: I've been…
My ADHD was diagnosed last year, around the age of 30. I started medication in January and I've been able to turn my life around - I no longer have that awful feeling that my next crisis is constantly flying towards me,…
A little bit different to software, but the big kicker for me was a standing desk. When I'm on calls I compulsively wander around the apartment with my wireless headphones on, I can't stand still. If I'm in a call for 4…
I've just been emotionally effected by this work at a deep, almost uncomfortable level. I've worked as a mental health support worker, and this short story poked at some of the darker parts of the field: the dream of…
This is run by BunnyCDN, I've been one of their smaller users for a few years now (live video hosting and delivery, mostly .m3u8, mpegts, HTTP Live Streaming type of stuff) and I've always found their service reliable…
Gosh, you weren't kidding. Even ignoring the painful contrast and small text, the background characters not being regular (lined-up) is setting off my ADHD something awful, I keep getting distracted, couldn't make it…
Wow, I thought you were joking, but you really weren't. From the homepage it took me 7 clicks to drill-down into information about a specific compute service and see pricing, and it leads to their generic contact form…
Generally I prefer a mid-saturation blue-tinted grey in the #111111 horizontal line for my base text colours, which is basically indistinguishable from black but works better with the other hues on our website. That…
I do! I was on 30mg for a week, then increased to 50, and I've been stable there ever since. I was worried at the start I would end up on 70mg, but it just seemed to work from day one onwards. Do you get the reduced…
Absolutely. But you first have to factor in that my ADHD is performance degrading. As an example: Mirtazapine is an antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder, but that doesn't mean you can give it to an…
I don't use this, but I also don't really use any traditional social media. I have an account on HN obviously but it feels a lot less tracked and invasive than Facebook, etc. Probably because the business model is…
That's a fair point, although some people do constantly multitask. I have ADHD and I'm capable of doing work while focussing entirely on two tasks, often I'm looking at one screen where I'm writing code while reading an…
The equation for escape velocity is: v = √(2GM/R) R = distance (radius, really) M = Mass of the body G = Universal gravitation constant We can modify this equation to find for the distance at which you can escape: r =…

You have untreated ADHD, that's why your life keeps feeling apart when you make impulsive decisions. They missed it when you were a child and none of the specialists thought to diagnose it as an adult.
This has been really frustrating me lately. Sometimes I just want to quickly merge a small change (maybe a small config change, 1/2 lines) and then pull on master, branch off and start working again. I'm regularly…
Just to clarify: the meat packages I ordered didn't use any dry ice. They provide two (standard) ice packs, one which is placed beneath the meat and one which is placed above the meat. Because the polystyrene is so…
I order meat from The Great British Meat Company and my meat arrives 2 days later, still refrigerated, in a hard polystyrene case packed in with still frozen ice cube bags. It costs a little more to deliver, but it…

This is one of those comments I so rarely see where what I already know is put in to words I've never been able to find. Thank you for this, I'll be updating our documentation to include these concepts first thing…
At least in terms of movies, this seems like the obvious route: It used to be that game engines had real-time processing requirements (60/30/15 frames per second) and were constrained by the hardware on which they ran,…
Home photo-lithography and chemical etching setups aren't common, but have been done by several people. We wouldn't be able to jump straight to 14NM, but we would probably be able to get to the 500-300nm size relatively…
Cheers for this! Don't worry about the negativity, it's something I've come to expect from subject matter experts since this is a very long process I'm going down fraught with danger and legislation. One of the issues…
The typical way to produce small scale liquid oxygen (LOX) requires liquid nitrogen (you use the liquid nitrogen to cool the gas as it passes through some transport medium like a copper pipe and collect the cooled…
In general, I would agree with you. If you're dealing with umsymettrical-dimethylhydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide, you're going to be in a world of pain trying to produce them, handle them and get them close enough to…
