Having multiple sufficiently-powered virtual machines makes OS development really low friction. Though I'd personally go for a blade subrack instead.

Getting some unplanned exercise clearing out the house of my late mother in law. Though my airways disagree (achoo), having clear goals and hauling around heavy stuff is doing wonders for my mood.

So ‘truncate’ and ‘table’ are OK?

Ah good. Now I know what specs not to buy.

Interestingly, there is some evidence that suggests that antioxidants like vitamin C, especially when taken in the excessively large doses that are fashionable these days, can interfere with the immune system (which relies on oxidation reactions in order to clear pathogens and precancerous cells) and preclude gains from exercise (oxidation is used as a signal by the body to eg. induce muscle mass growth).

Depending on how old your kid is, it might or it might not improve. The frontal lobe of their brain still has a lot of development left in children; right up until they’re about 25. This may improve things.

Also, please don’t be one of those parents who discounts meds. They can really help a lot. And no, they’re not addictive (in fact, people with ADHD are more likely to forget them than to use them recreationally).

What's helped me is a combination of physical exercise (which helps against feelings of unrest that may be bothering me) and sort of sliding into the subject, tackling the easier parts first and from there riding the dopamine wave.

But yeah, it doesn't get any easier.

Exactly, and you cannot have a serious conversation about the attitudes of yore if you censor the words they themselves used.

Back then, it simply meant “developmentally delayed”.

What river? Asking for a friend...

“Password cannot contain username”

“Password must contain digits”

“Password cannot contain reversed misspellings of predynastic Egyptian pharaohs”

And now…

“Password cannot contain JavaScript”

One thing about the pre-Internet times I don't hear much about is how much more centralised our media were and how, as a result, people or ideas on the fringe of society didn't get much attention. That includes for instance how the strange ideas about vaccines or ethnic groups now spread much easier than they did before the Internet, but also how trans* people and other marginalised groups find it much easier to find and support each other and be a united front against oppression.

In summary, I don't thing that what has been termed "the great awokening", nor the organised opposition against it, could have taken place before the Internet. At least not at this scale.
