Agreed. I'm definitely the "target" of this article, as I've just recently been diagnosed in my late 30s with adult ADHD. I feel like I've shown the signs during my childhood - poor grades due to poor attention sp

Strangely enough, there seem to be a lot of hidden references and callbacks in Bluey. Just one source I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/ipi4ft/a_thread_for_...

Completely agree, and I am continuously frustrated that the US has such poor personal privacy standards and regulations, regardless of how effective any existing regulations are.

The testing kits may be the "best" - their data retention and security just sucks. I (stupidly) did 23andMe a while back, I've since requested my data to be deleted. Who knows if that's even honored.

I definitely don't disagree, although I typically do about double that count (albeit on the lower range). I'm not a fan of subscriptions, but a search engine is definitely something I can understand requiring a subscription fee.

Wow, this is super cool. Thank you! I love the straight-to-the-point nature of the articles, constraining them to a single page.

I don't know if it's overpriced, or if it is the sticker shock of _having to pay for search where almost everywhere else provides it for free_. I'd rather not pay, but I'd also rather pay and support something to get th

Just wanna throw my hat in for an unsolicited Kagi recommendation. I switched almost a year ago, and it's been great.

My comment re: tipping really was just further emphasizing the "forced pleasantries" of modern dining. I know this is a relatively bitter/cynical take, but at the end of the day, I'm there to get food, the workers are t

I'm there to eat, not socialize with people explicitly paid to act nice to me, though. Let's not even get into tipping culture, here...

I've only seen QR code -> PDF menu (and one where it was QR code -> web interface to order food/drinks). I agree with you re: app, but I think it's completely reasonable in 2023 to expect the general public to carry th

by slipperlobster 3y ago
Yeah. I feel like any time this comes up on HN, the comments heavily skew towards moving _away_ from integrating technology into the dining process. I'm all for it. I don't want to do the whole song-and-dance of chatting with a

This is good to hear that you have a solid foundation of how to best work with your son. I definitely wish I had that level of support growing up! I'm hoping to do the same with my kid.

My issue with reading is that my eyes will continue on while my brain has already left the station, so to speak. I'll end up having to go back and re-read sentences/paragraphs. I started doing some research (prior to speaking wit

Yeah, mine said it's ~50/50 shot. We're trying the non-stimulant while waiting on the cardiologist to do a deeper look at a potential heart issue. shrug The most I've felt with the atomoxetine is a loss of appetite, w

Note that ADHD can manifest physically, mentally, or a combination of the two. I've been recently diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s after finally seeing a psychiatrist, and at most my physical manifestation of it is minor fidgeting.

by slipperlobster 3y ago
Absolutely agreed (and I do follow that advice). I throw this stuff on in the car when I'm dropping off the kid at school. Still good to know what's going on day-to-day, albeit a bit more micro-level than not.

Some people just like working down task lists. Some people just like a peek behind the curtain of big operations (like an airport, farm, etc). Not every game is meant for everyone :)

I downloaded the demo, and it seems to just be two different tutorials - chocks and cones (handling an existing parked plane at a gate) as well as GPU (ground power unit, also on a parked plane). Really didn't get a good feel for the g

That's my point - seems like private police with both public authority and resources. These officers are directly benefiting churches, private neighborhoods, etc. by providing public services benefitting private institutions. Seems sk

That's wild. Personally, I see that (cyclists hiring police officers for route clearing) as a _valid_ implementation of this. Churches/neighborhoods hiring off-duty police officers daily just ease congestion? Seems like a stret

Our 2,000 home HOA luckily is large enough that city police just park in our parking lots by design - no fees required! grimace

Oh, hey, I'm not saying off-duty police officers can't do side gigs. I'm more questioning them using publicly funded resources and authority to do so. Anyone can try to direct traffic, but cops are paid to do it because they

We have a bunch of off-duty police here in the southeast US that do traffic control for churches, HOAs, etc. Not the same as security, I guess, but tangentially related. I always wonder how this is legally allowed. The idea of using taxpa

Fine, sure. Cute - turn on reader mode. Now the images that are supposed to be sitting over yellow background are dark gray images over a slightly less dark gray background. The decision to design a serious (read: not-tongue-in-cheek) top

Is this just reinventing the concept of Jenkins distributed executors?
