Ah yes - nobody is doing REST correctly. My favorite form of bikeshedding.

The source of their randomness is interesting, as someone not well-versed in physics: https://random.colorado.edu/concepts/traceable-randomness

npm allows you to have multiple versions of one package installed, so I’m not sure it will work for this, unless you use a package manager that allows you to set constraints like “only one version of this package can be installed.”

Yeah, turns out I should have read TFA:

>The short summary of the Sudoku + Poetry post is that unlike Rust or JavaScript, a single Python project cannot use more than one version of a specific Python package.

But these are public certificates. Most personal computers are behind NAT, i.e. they lack a public IP address.

But my EC2 instance is public! Ok not "local" per se, but definitely could be part of development work.

I can see how this would work on a technical level but what's the intended use case?
spelunker · 2 months ago
Might be nice for local/development environment work. Test HTTPS without needing to set up `my-dev-env.staging.service.com` or whatever.

One of my favorite games of all time. Like others have said, the quotes/videos/etc presented during secret projects or research breakthroughs left quite a mark on my young mind.

That and the X-COM: UFO Defense opening cinematic lol

Also, 150 calories is somewhere between cheap American beer and a nice IPA or stout. You can easily hit 200-300 calories per beer.

so what does work then?

isn't the problem here that the answer is very individual. for me for example some of the above things do work, and some don't. some of the time. it's like it depends and there is no clear answer even just for myself. knowing whether i had ADHD would not make any difference. i'd still not know what works.

for example i have seen tasks lists recommended as one way to deal with ADHD. because the lists help focus. isn't breaking things down into small steps the same thing? others here with ADHD also claim that specific suggestions work for them. so this isn't clear cut, and it doesn't make sense to just dismiss the suggestions.

you are right, there is more than just getting started. boredom and distractions are a problem too. but they are also a problem for "normal" people.

seems to me that the only thing we can do is to list a number of possible approaches, and let everyone pick what works best for them.

so back to the original question: what does work for people with ADHD?

Honestly, medication.
