seastonATccs··on Ask HN: How's the situation with treating ADHD in UK
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.

seastonATccs··on Ford F-150 Lightning reservation holders face $30k dealer markup as demand high
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.
seastonATccs··on Yabai is a tiling window manager for macOS
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?

seastonATccs··on How many people have Q Clearance?
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.

seastonATccs··on Alec Baldwin “Discharged” Prop Gun Killing Cinematographer, Injuring Director
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··on Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)
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.
seastonATccs··on Epic says it’s ‘open’ to blockchain games after Steam bans them
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.
seastonATccs··on Video leak evidencing widespread torture in Russian prisons
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.
seastonATccs··on Is 40 the New 60?
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··on How did American “wokeness” jump from elite schools to everyday life?
"Wokeness" is not jumping. The idea that everyone, even traditionally protected classes, should be held responsible for their actions is spreading.
seastonATccs··on Snap is Scheme disguised as Scratch [pdf]
I love scratch as an adult. I think working through the constraints and the the sheer beauty of the design keep me coming back.

seastonATccs··on The Thermocline of Truth
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.
seastonATccs··on Perceptual distortions in late-teens predict psychotic symptoms in mid-life

seastonATccs··on Privacy for Students: Surveillance Self-Defense
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.
seastonATccs··on Disney Mismanaged the Star Wars Universe
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.

seastonATccs··on A German man is keeping $60M in Bitcoin from police
Still have a few hundred or so bitcoins from playing around with it a decade ago. It was just a toy. We were just sending them around to each other just to watch the tech work. Hell we gave them to a sites like bittap so other people could jump in and give it a test. My key was entropy based so I doubt I'll ever open my wallet, but it's no loss to me. I'd probably would have sold at $200 bucks and got a car or something.
seastonATccs··on Blockbuster up 4900% in 2 days

seastonATccs··on Reddit Crowd Bludgeons Hedge Fund in Warning to Industry
I'm an average dude financially. Make less then 75k a year with a family of six. I could loose 50k in cash and be fine. My SO would be tiffed, but our life wouldn't change.
seastonATccs··on Books helped South African man overcome homelessness
In the US the state of Utah decided that the cure for homelessness is housing homeless people. They stop asking if the person was worthy or will be responsible and just started to house them. Turns out that the vast majority of homeless, mental health issues or not, prefer to live in a safe environment.

“In terms of preventing homelessness, it’s pretty straightforward. It’s housing.” Preston Cochrane, former executive director of Shelter the Homeless.

There are still homeless in Utah, but the government priority is House them first then figure out why they became homeless after.
