One interesting observation: when using it with our Next.js project, it flags all page TypeScript files as unused. This inadvertently highlights a potential drawback of file-system based routing - it can lead to less explicit code relationships.

Further, the Muse interface is very frictionless. Erasing ink is just holding a finger while using the Pencil. Switching tools is just swiping in on the screen with the pencil. Compare this to Apple Notes, where I usually need to chord several taps on different parts of the screen altogether just to change the tool or ink color.

* Finding the right medication, in the right dose. Biggest QoL improvement. YMMV

* Whenever I get lost in the sauce and start spinning my wheels, I schedule a call with a colleague and ask them to help sort my priorities out. This also helps me with accountability, in a softer way than accountability-by-authority. This might require some self-awareness.

* Finding a note-taking/task management system that works for me. So far, I've been having the most success with a combination of Roam Research; Apple Notes and Muse for drawing/diagramming on my iPad; and Todoist for hard reminders.

* Getting enough physical activity. My headspace becomes awful if I don't get at least 30 minutes of walking in during the day.

* Finding my context shift to work mode. Most days, 15 minutes outdoors first thing in the morning after checking my task list is enough. For rougher days, I work from the café down the street.

* Avoiding social media before lunch, as it stresses me out.

* I found the eureka moments striking at odd times, like evenings or in bed. I rarely regret following these strokes of inspiration, but they can really throw my off my work/life balance. Cutting my days shorter (most days), and allowing myself to work when inspiration strikes (a couple times a week), has really helped in lowering my stress levels.

* A couple days a week without scheduled meetings. I can't focus if I know I'm going to have a meeting in 1 hour.

* Splurging on equipment. If I'm going to spend a lot of time in front of my screen, I might as well get that 4K 32" and a G915 TKL.

I’ve been working on a track for the past few months. And for once, I’m really happy where it’s heading! Work and ‘rona are cutting into my energy levels hard right now, but I’d love to finish it up someday.

While concerta did help in some sense, I had the same side effects as you. In my experience, Elvanse feels more like it "cures" my ADHD while retaining my personality and creativity. Oh, and (almost) no side effects!

While this is an awful stopgap solution, at least I can get back to work.

I can't see the parent making this claim at all; are you sure that your interpretation is in good faith?

While homosexuality was legalized in Sweden in 1944, it was classed as a mental disorder until 1979 and it wasn't until 2009 when same-sex marriage was legalized; five years after the first state in the US legalized it.

Those are quite strong statements to not be backed up by strong examples, and I personally find that your example does not clearly illustrate how that would make statically typed languages have the attributes you ascribe them.

In our original demo, we ran a V100 GPU against 8 CPU nodes. The new T4 GPUs cut our cost in half, which meant we reduced the Apache Spark cluster to 4 CPU nodes in order to maintain price parity. Even with the reduced GPU memory, the whole workload ran significantly faster.

While it's impossible to build a case from one anecdote, some aspects of your story are all warning bells – the hyperfocus on "unproductive" parts of the decisionmaking process, getting lost, decision fatigue, analysis paralysis, and lack of action unless there's external accountability.

Understanding these underlying problems are very helpful to be able to stick with the other tools provided in this thread.

Even low and medium income people – for example, assistant nurses straight out of school – pay half of their wages in tax – even at the 2000 USD post-tax a month range.

And since the 20% margin tax on top of that kicks in already at the equivalent of ~50k USD a year »pre-tax«, this creates a situation where it is very hard to build capital just by working. Basically, you can only get wealthy by:

* Earning money with money (tax on capital is a flat 30% - or potentially even way less, if you use a special savings account),

* Founding the next iZettle or creating the next Minecraft,

* Or have bought real estate when it was 50-90% cheaper (that is, 5+ years ago).

In practice, this creates a system which hampers class mobility in Sweden. Even if you are in top 1% of wages, it will take decades for you to catch up to the capital gains of someone who bought an apartment close to Stockholm five years ago.

So perhaps it's safer to say that Sweden is fine _despite_ our 70% tax.

Chinese tourists visiting a Swedish hostel in Stockholm sparked an international incident when they appeared on video screaming and crying and accusing local police of trying to murder them.

The "graveyard" they were dropped off at is more of a park, with a train station 8 minutes from the city.
