That's fantastic!

There's a high comorbidity[1] between ADHD, dyslexia & dysgraphia so it does make some sense to group them together.

It isn't.

So others are responsible for what you know? Surely it's the individual's responsibility not to be ignorant?

Don't mistake being effusive with ranting.

I'm going to try and fit this into as many sentences as I can get away with!

Steady on!

In the early days they did seem to follow that motto so there was at least some cause to believe them.

Isn't that true of an awful lot of conditions; "differential diagnosis"?

Why does no one focus on the positives? Yeah, there's shit to deal with but there are also lots of good points:

* Ability to assimilate and process information * Ability to hyperfocus * Shit loads of empathy (can get a bit out of hand thought!) * Creativity

There are lots more things that we're better at than non-ADD people, I just can't think of any at the moment! See Lynn Weiss' book for a more comprehensive list.

I think it's important for ADD people to not play the victim; yeah we're different and yeah, society doesn't favour our way of thinking but it's not all bad.

I would like to echo @allanrbo kind words I to think it's a great way to understand regular expressions and their various implementations. I was a little confused about how to change the regex but I'm often confused so it's no reflection on you! I think Christian would have been proud to see what you've done with his ideas.

I got into electronics, which pretty much defined my career, at 14 when I went to technical college and the only reason I chose electronics was because I wouldn't get bullied as much! I struggled with it for the first few months and after I finally "got it" I fell in love with it!

I don't work as an Electronics engineer any more but I still have a significant interest.

I saw him at a book reading in Sydney for The Information, he was fantastic. He did a straw poll about who had heard of Claude Shannon, out of about 200 people four of us put our hands up. I still find it sad that so few people have heard of him.

No down vote from me.

Granted, it's not a common but it's not uncommon.

iptables has also been deprecated.

I blew the top of a 555 once! I still remember peering into the whole in the top where I could still see bits of the die left. Most of it was gone! I never worked out what happened and my teacher couldn't shed any light on it either.

Fortunately the ejected packaging didn't hit me in the eye!

That's exactly the word I had in my mind when I was reading the article!

Yeah, it does doesn't it. I've seen a couple of projects using it but nothing more.

An since we are talking pedantry pedantic is, er, spelt pedantic not peedantic. Sorry I couldn't resist!

You can configure readline (which is what bash uses) to use vi-bindings via $HOME/.inputrc then everything that uses readline (which is pretty much everything) will also get vi-bindings.

Which doesn't help on the command line.

Not all meat substitutes are "industrial" after all they've been around about 2000 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock_meat!

Do it, do it! Though I think you need sudo in front of it :-)

I use man all the time for exactly this. In fact it is something man really excels at.

The other nice thing about looking up options in the man pages is that you often see other useful options that you didn't know existed. I've found some of my favourite options this way!

I use `man -k` (which is the same thing) all the time.

It has a slightly different use case though.

Not to be confused with IPFS!

I suggest you revise your definition of cloud.

Twelve out of twelve for my company. Yah us!
