tdy_err··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I read that and gave you the benefit of the doubt that brevity was your intent more than expressing frustration:) I can imagine how difficult it must be to want to help someone who can’t help themselves but has nobody else…

While I have many ideas about how we got through my childhood, I think any meaningful plan will have to suit your kid so general suggestions are probably hit or miss at best. This is why I suggested a caretaker but I guess I really meant “a specialist”.

I’ll just say this, to offer some insight… ADHD is not just losing track of the external world- it is a loss of your own internal world. It’s like someone is always tugging your instruction pointer away from your stack. This is suffering.

Coping with a hyperactive child can be tough, but foremost you need to do your best to understand them and meet their needs. And “shutting them the hell up” is working against that. Truly, the best route here is probably to find another caretaker who is willing to take the time to help this child…

Anecdotally, I had similar troubles as a kid and after a battery of evaluations they found I had slightly diminished verbal language processing (despite passing common tonal audio tests just fine). Understanding this equipped the adults in my life to better accommodate my needs, and in turn, I’m sure, mitigate the hassle I made for them.

only anecdotal at this time, and it’s been awhile now. Specifically, a video editor posted a blog about how their laptop failed which required an out of pocket board replacement. Someone speculated in comments here that the drive may have reached lifecycle but it wasn’t confirmed or examined by an expert in a write up or anything. Not sure specifically what hardware but no reason to believe it would be a proprietary drive any different than other laptops’. IMO skeptical of PEBKAC or clickbait. Nothing in the post was informative or illuminating. > last a few years It will and to be insured instead of just confident one can opt for that $200 warranty extension
tdy_err··on MDMA-assisted therapy for severe PTSD
> low risk and relatively safe

While the outcomes for victims is fantastic unfortunately, it is definitely with some risk:

Death is an extreme negative outcome. Hamilton Morris makes a good point that if we view all chemicals by their mortality or OD potential then we are missing the big picture, and potentially demonizing medicine. But we should also look at non-deadly negative outcomes.

Anecdotally, I suspect MDMA is quite psychologically addictive because it provides a once-in-a-lifetime serene feeling that can never be reproduced- once you use it, you will never experience it again as you did the first time. Moreover, the layman will try to overcome this by increasing dosage. Even responsible & informed adults may go against their better, rational, selves and reason about doing so on the basis of emotion.

It’s more realistic to interpret a test graph than to look at the PAF #. E.g.: Traditional Cherry switches will increase resistance during the press while HPandas [and many others] dip quickly and settle back into the initial resistance.

It’s hard to describe what that feels like in practice, even still.

tdy_err··on Holy Panda Keyswitch
Why yes that is also a keyboard.

What do you suppose the odds are that a gaming-peripheral manufacturer sat down and came up with a better switch implementation than any that the mechanical keyboard community could?

tdy_err··on Bot can beat humans in multiplayer hidden-role games
Please let me know if I’m mistaken but it seems that, disappointingly, there is no measure of the quality of players, especially considering that the game referenced is a fan-made clone of the physical game. There’s no ladder, MMR, ELO, ec.

So, of course someone who’s played the game 100,000 or even 10 times is likely to beat someone who’s only just played maybe a handful of games. That’s not a bold - or arguably fair-claim to have beaten a majority of players if those players are all brand new —or a minority of those are veterans— which I suspect is likely given the nature of web based games.

That’s very blatant sensationalist journalism that conveniently does not mention that there is a person holding down a button the entire time that the car is being summoned.

If that’s “dangerous”, well, so is piloting it manually.
