I'm a little confused. ADD & ADHD started as children's issues, if I understand it. Adults had already developed beyond it (was where I thought it started). Then later it got combined into only "ADHD" and adults wher

I've been doing it on and off for years. Trouble is my "career" is dead. I think I'm technically "middle" aged, but really over "middle" of life. It's harder to relax the mind and body right now.

I was taught basic breathing meditation from a Vietnamese nun; but I'm not an expert. There are so many variations that I don't understand. I don't know much about Zen or it's take on meditation or mindfulness. On medita

I don't know what jobs will be left. As our benefits have dried up. e.g. retirement, healthcare, job stability. Every article I've read basically said workers are going to need to be very adaptable. Forget about the lives your par

I'm definitely no economist but the current administration doesn't seem to listen to them anyway. To me, this is going to be an extremely high tax on lower and middle income people, as well as small businesses. Most of us buy Chin

I could be wrong, but I get the impression your younger than I am by a good bit. I'm an aging genx'r. My excitement/energy is lower than what it was. As I've aged, I feel like I don't have as much time, and I know I

Interesting! I'm not an expert but an aging amateur and *nix/foss enthusiast. I see some parallels to what I've thought before that may, or may not be erroneous. First, it seems to point toward the original *nix philosophy of

I appreciate all your replies. I really do. I can't say I've read everything but I have looked, scan, read much of what you posted, in one way or another e.g. I usually start with Wikipedia. I nothing so far has convinced me there

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to thank you for the reply. I did a quick scan of genode on wikipedia. I've heard of it and might have seen articles over the years, but it says it's a framework and it kinda says it

I had to look and skim to re-familiarize myself with SeL4. It's and older project that really never made it, from just a quick glance. It seems to basis or at least inspirational to more modern kernels. From the wiki, that seems to inc

First thanks for the response. "performance hit taken when transitioning from the user processes to the microkernel" is this still a large issue from the point of view of a desktop/laptop i.e. less embedded or other low power

From my understanding other presidents, on both sides, have pushed the boundaries/limits of executive orders but, as far as I understand it, his use is unprecedented. I had to read the wiki on them, but it's not supposed to be use

I guess I'm weird, I use my browser, yet I haven't wanted to store that in the cloud, so it doesn't sync to my phone. Let me know if that's paranoia isn't justified. For me, if it becomes more universal, something l

Yeah, I've thought about a yubi key or something, but haven't pulled the trigger.

I'm no expert, but I did take a CISSP course a while ago. One thing I actually remember ;P, is that it recommended long passwords in in lieu of the number, special character, upper, lower ... I don't remember the exact wording of

Just reading the about, it looks cool. It uses runit and daemontools. I used void for a while, and I really liked runit. Personally, I don't like systemd. I don't want a debate, it's just my personal preference/opinion.

I agree with the previous response. You don't make any argument or point, you just mumble "leftist" and dismiss. Extremist on either side don't seem to help anything. I lean one way just like most people, but I try not t

I hadn't heard of this. Thank You. I had this concept myself as I've always thought c-suit executives are mostly interested in there own interest and that it's exacerbated by them not staying long term. I don't know the

I saw a good documentary on this but I don't remember the name. Someone that does can post it but it started in the 70s when it got bought out by a profit focused company that already had a negative reputation for quality control. Then

Do you know if they continuously over order or it's rare? Any links to this type of information would be appreciated.

by smeg_it 2y ago
That's news to me. Do you have a link that explains all this? I know about business quarters and yearly budgets but do they have to order once a year, and are you sure about that? I would rather wait a little longer for the test to ar

Off topic: I don't post here much and the instructions said just leave the url blank for a question. Was I supposed to have posted it with "Ask HN" or did I just post it incorrectly. I apologize if it was the later

Also, I could be wrong and most people get test with at least 6 months till they expire. The other post had a guy that received test closer to the minimum 60 days than I was.

I am hoping someone knows something. The post that got deleted yielded some useful information that seem to be copied and pasted from somewhere but it only helped concrete my current belief that this program is very wasteful. I was hoping t

Lol, I understand Fifo (well the concept) I had an IT career for 20 years, although I was never an expert at much. In theory, if ordering were coordinated better, we wouldn't have test that spent 80%+ of their useful life dying in a wa

That's after the pandemic and this program has been around a while. My question, and some frustration, is with the fact that if many and/or most people get the test near end of life, then that's a huge waste because many will
