It was a catch-22 getting through the system to get ADHD meds. Use all your tools you have developed to fight the urge to ignore it if the cognitive load gets too much. For myself I have responded really good to medication.

For sure I have considered my ADHD a double edged sword. Medication has not killed the curiosity I attribute to ADHD, but lowers the mental barriers on getting routine tasks done.

They know how to take the reservation, but the don't know how to hold the reservation. The holding part really is the important part.

I recently had to move to a Mac from windows at work. It's all propaganda, UX for macOS sucks. Apple doesn't know shit about a good UI. Despite the hardware shenanigans of windows 11 the UX was spot on. WSL2 on windows was a really good spot.

WTH should I need a 3rd party tool to do half decent window tile management?

Worked at LLNL Loong time ago. I loved the weirdos there. Any random day you could sit next to someone during lunch and get a masters level course on flywheels or vacuum pumps.

A cleaning rod into a pine tree at Ft. Huachucha. At least I had a Private's sense to stand back 20 feet. It sunk into the tree a good 4 inches.

seastonATccs — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 10:50:55 +0000

IntelliJ GIT ui/ux is so completely frictionless it's magical at times. The only downside is that it makes incredibly complex operations trivial that I never learned git from the cli beyond the very basics.

I think the idea is to be able to trade/sell/buy game assets on 3rd party sites. There becomes a distinction between ownership and control. A person could "sell" ownership of an item though they still control it by offering a contract. This contract would be tied to the life of the item and would be shown to any possible in-game player that wanted to take control of the game asset.

Isn't torture in a Russian prison a trope? I thought we were all on the assumption that there is widespread torture unless they could prove otherwise.

Everyone on my team is in the 35-45 bracket. We've been at the same shop for 5+ years. I think the unsaid thing is none of us are going to leave because we're all to old to be hired anywhere else.

seastonATccs — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 14:13:17 +0000

"Wokeness" is not jumping. The idea that everyone, even traditionally protected classes, should be held responsible for their actions is spreading.

I love scratch as an adult. I think working through the constraints and the the sheer beauty of the design keep me coming back.

Last time I gave an honest assessment of how far behind I was and why I got put on an "improvement plan". I've never been as exact since. I've been as behind as before but I don't call it out.

I went though Alice In Wonderland syndrome in my mid teens where it would feel like my hands would grow to a massive or super tiny size.

Schools in the US are usually required by state law to provide a baseline level of content filtering and auditing on any school operated network, device and accounts. The school district has the right to choose which proxy service to use, but not wether to uses one or not. To get this fixed it has to be done at the state legislative level.

SW pivoting away from Movies to TV is a really good move in my opinion. The last 5 movies were fine. But on the TV has been great. Clone Wars, Rebels, Mandalorian have told the stories that have let me escape to the far far away galaxy.
