Haha nice observation, I'm pretty good with sorting the tickets for the weekly sprints at work, but I never connected the dots or consciously applied similar techniques in private life.

I guess I do kind of agile prints that are not measured in a fixed unit of time, but in natural hyperfocus waves...

Yeah can relate, it's always nice if I can reach some milestone when switching the project hyperfocus again. Celebrating any tangible progress helps staying motivated. Small steps are nice, and each big step is a gift.

I wanted to review all rooms and get rid of stuff that I don't need (like gadgets or old clothes or random household things). Well, I did a room and the basement. Some more to go. I planned this for this year, so I just wait for the motivation to come back to do the next room. Because reviewing a whole room and possibly rearranging half of the things and sorting stuff out takes at least half a day and is pretty exhausting.

Vielleicht bin ich ein schnell-verstoffwechsler, kann ja gut sein.

Mein Neurologe hat zu dem Aspekt nix gesagt, scheint also so alles ok zu sein. Eher wundert er sich wie wenig ich brauche.

Ein anderes Medikament hab ich nicht ausprobiert. Ich konnte zwischen Elvanse und Medikinet wählen, er hat zwar Elvanse empfohlen aber ich hab mich für Medikinet entschieden weil es mir mehr Kontrolle ermöglicht und kleinschrittiger aufdosiert werden konnte, und Methylphenidat ist viel länger auf dem Markt (ich hatte am Anfang ziemlich Angst davor).

Fahre damit sehr gut und bin zufrieden, deswegen hatte ich auch keinen Grund nach etwas anderem zu fragen.

Hast du mal Medikinet adult verwendet? Das hält realistisch 3-4 Stunden. Ich nehme morgens und mittags eine Dosis. Und das schon nicht auf leeren Magen, weil sonst ballert das zu krass und geht noch schneller wieder weg.

8 Stunden klingt wie die theoretische maximale Akku Laufzeit bei dem Laptop oder schön gerechnete Abgase bei VW.

Nice! I'd love to use Rust at work, I was a Haskell guy for hobby things, rather recently switched to Rust for that, and I enjoy it a lot. Taking 80% of the good lessons from functional programming while staying performant and practical and just have nice tooling - whoever designed Rust are wise people who know what is important for happy developers.

My job is mainly C++, and if you have seen the bright side of life, it is difficult not to be frustrated by the language and tooling. I think C++ without clang-tidy is almost as horrible as Python without types and linters. Undefined behavior and foot guns everywhere!

Python with type hints and mypy and ruff = <3

Large Python codebase without types = nightmare

How many are you?

Fridays for Future mobilized hundreds of thousands to demonstrate for action against climate change.

I can't imagine they could suppress such demonstrations.

Just genuinely curious - is it like, thousands? Tens of thousands? And why is it not more? And are you saying the media are already so much under control like in Russia or China that any movement can be extinguished before it even can grow ?

Only a strong and united Europe can successfully stand up against the bullies to the West and to the East.

Right populists might have tried to make it look different, but despite all it's flaws all countries end up gaining more from the EU than they lose. Looks like many people in the UK were disappointed after effects of leaving kicked in and felt mislead by politicians who pushed the vote for leaving.

We certainly need to reform the EU to be faster, less bureaucratic, and so on, but this is the best we got right now and like democracy, it's a shitty organisation but better than all existing alternatives, including not having it at all ;)

I never understood all the love for the US when I was younger, now as an adult with enough experience and cynicism it's clear it's all just very successful propaganda and the power of cultural hegemony.

Europe was sitting very comfortably in the matrix of the US soft power, and good profitable business has been done for and with the wealthy class. But because life of average Joe was still pretty good, this ass licking arrangement looked like a great deal.

Now the rules changed, and if we don't get our shit together real quick, we are also pretty fucked.

It's just like Russia, only that the official main public TV channel is Fox News, and all the others are too.

Guess which US channel is the only one Russian TV ever cites in their propaganda against the democratic West ?

Exactly. Fox News.

Luckily I was only born in that shithole, my family emigrated 30 years ago, when I was a kid. Still, half of them are brainwashed and watch that crap all day. Kremlin TV. It's all the same bullshit. Hate, cynicism, making fun of liberal values, playing the victim.

Truth is, USA and Russia are two hateful siblings who usually fought but actually are pretty much the same. Cold war was never truly about systems, it was about who is the top dog. Now they realized they can just work together and divide the cake.

I always hated Europe being so under US influence, but it seemed like the lesser evil because Europe also profited from it, cannot deny that.

But now there's Russia on the right, and Russia on the left. And China can just relax and wait until the dust settles and collect the pieces.

Hugs from Germany. It must be painful to watch this unfold. Now everybody can see live how it all happened in Germany. And it is still possible that the fascist wave will roll again over Europe too. I hope we don't, as usual, copy every trend from the US with a few years delay...
