internet_user··on Why are so many coders still using Vim and Emacs?
I've watched someone struggle for literally hours in Emacs wading through dependencies to track down an issue. He then resorted to grep and kept spending time.

The same task would be accomplished in one click in Eclipse.

There is a reason why specialized tools exist.

internet_user··on Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness?
apathy can be part of dysexecutive syndromes, such as ADHD.

To be pedantic, apathy is lack of emotion and interest.

Often that is not the case in ADHD. The hallmark of that syndrome is the inability to follow through/self-regulate behavior/plan actions to achieve the objective they are interested in.

internet_user··on Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness?
ADHD is best described as impaired self-directed behavior.

The kernel of motivation may exist, but an ADHD victim would fail to follow through on that motivation, to their own detriment.

Either due to lack of concentration, lack of planning, or lack of execution. Often all of the above.

It is a general dysexecutive syndrome that that may impact all higher order cognitive functions.

Motivation, on the other hand can also be impaired by depression (aka "learned helplessness" - which is not uncommon in ADHD), but that would not be ADHD in itself.

internet_user··on Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness?
Depression (and many other illnesses, autoimmune, hormonal deficiencies, sleep disorders, all kinds of dementia and other neurological illnesses) will produce a dysexecutive syndrome that's very similar, if not indisginuishable, from ADHD.

In your specific case you may want to read up on something called "learned helplessness". Essentially you are being conditioned by failure to quit prematurely.

That is different from ADHD. ADHD in itself is really a diagnosis of exclusion, where no clear cause can be found.

internet_user··on Chloroquine phosphate has shown apparent efficacy in treating Covid-19
Death.

Kaletra, a protease inhibitor, is a combination of two drugs, one of which is a CYP3A4 inhibitor. It is used with some success on coronavirus patients.

Co-administering this with chloroquine 500mg/BID could easily result in chloroquine concentrations well above LD50.
