@patrickc I think there is also a component of leaders and broader society needing to have the “will to have nice things.”

Every fountain everywhere will lose a battle with entropy. Someone needs to choose, and keep choosing, that the fountain is a priority.

@kellabyte @RickyLucero_ Would you mind linking that post? I haven't built an event-sourced system myself but I've been paying attention to it and I don't know how to make sense of "event sourcing between [...] modules".

[Owen Phelps @owenphelps]

@dante_rebelo @TheCinesthetic I guess I just got lucky then, because I genuinely didn't know the twist and loved experiencing the reveal.

@rexfem @Wee_Cee00 @v_j_freeman He wouldn't be unique if so https://t.co/fvmjb1y2ts

@v_j_freeman Not universally. There's a small subset who experience stimulant meds as, well, stimulants. Took me a few trials to establish I was one of those, and I moved to non-stimulant meds instead.

@bindelj I haven't seen his claims, but while most people with ADHD are helped by stimulant meds, a number aren't, and for those people stimulants can just make things worse. I'm one of that latter set, sadly, but it took me a few trials to establish it. Maybe he is too?

my whole life i’ve dreamed of delivering measurable value to key stakeholders

@K_Smith_MI @jessesingal Otherwise it's just sparkling disagreement.

In 2009, S4C current affairs series ‘Taro 9’ interviewed Alan Bates about the Post Office scandal.

While lesser known, Welsh-medium broadcaster S4C was *way* ahead of the curve. His excoriating interview is worth digesting.

Let's clear up this mystery...

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Do you have ADHD or trouble staying focused while reading a book?

Here's a simple hack I created that changed my life.

It's called a "Distraction Catcher":

Possibly the best answer to "What does a software architect do?" 🤘

@ahnlak I use Shokz and they work for me. The sound quality won't satisfy audiophiles, but is good enough imho. I wear them when cycling on the commute, and I wear them all day on zoom calls - really comfortable and I forget I've got them on. You do get spillage if they are loud.

[Owen Phelps @owenphelps]

I was there for this today. Nice to meet new people, and good to see the kinds of things their dept can do for industry. Particularly making Pokémon teams...

[Cardiff Uni Maths @MathsCU]

A big thank you to everyone that joined us for our Maths for Industry Day event today @cardiffuni. It was great to present about our impactful research and network with academics, students and leading companies. Take a look below at what the event involved 👇 (1/5)

The @exec_prog "Python for Programmers" course is in open beta! It'll be about a week long, during which the course is free for everyone. More details in my HN post announcing it: https://t.co/YinmfNBUIM

@ShawnMcCool That's fascinating, thanks. If you like that, you might also like this (if you haven't already seen it): https://t.co/E8zMwgPTgC (in particular the stuff about "distance" and pain)

@adhdjesse tbf, my brain is usually right when it tells me this...
