I once worked with an SVP at a huge corporation that liked to engage in “bike shedding”. This guy is like seven rungs above me on the ladder and is trying to tell me what fields each SQL table should have.

Then we got a new department director who was very good at keeping upper management distracted and off our backs. Lots of people in middle management don’t justify their own salaries but I would argue that he sure did.

Only if it can also be a microservice.

Just because someone collects data doesn’t mean that they’re using it for a particular purpose. I’ve worked at orgs that archived gobs of data - not necessarily user data - “in case we find a use for it.” Possession of data does not guarantee possession of a particular insight.

I’m not saying that no one at Google knew. Just that it’s far from impossible.

So if the person you were interacting with gets pulled over for speeding, for instance, I’m sure they’ll totally understand the cop immediately shooting them in the face. They were breaking the law after all and we can’t tolerate that.

I’m still looking for a good solution that includes support for notes. I’m migrating off Exchange Online and using mailcow temporarily but the built in notes feature is sorely missed.

Or the time Ulysses Grant ordered the Treasury to flood the gold market - temporarily tanking the US economy - in order to crush his own brother in laws market manipulation scheme.

You can pull the fuse but this also disables Bluetooth iirc.

He may not have actually said that but he certainly thought it and he was not wrong.

A lot of people used to still think this.

You’re over thinking this. Neither health insurance companies nor any employer that isn’t a complete pile of shit cares if you have ADHD. The only time an employer has even had an official record that I have it is when they have mandatory drug testing and mine comes back positive for amphetamines. If they ask about it at all, usually “I take Vyvanse for ADHD” ends the conversation and it never comes up again.

Do what’s best for your health and well being.

I lost count of how many times I was told I “wasn’t trying hard enough” or was “lazy” or was a “SpAcE cAdEt”.

When you’re repeatedly told things like that as a kid, you start to believe them. Getting a diagnoses was vindicating because it meant all those people were dead wrong.

Broadly speaking, ADHD steals your ability to choose what you want to do, how you want to feel, etc. by taking away your ability to execute on those desires. Getting medicated didn’t magically fix everything but for the most part, it gave me back the power of choice.

Five foot eleven!? I didn’t know they stacked shit that high!!

One of the best teachers I have ever seen was one of my kids teachers during COVID.

All the other, mostly younger, teachers were just “herp derping” their way through doing school remotely. And this one lady, who was like two years from retirement, just points a camera at a blank piece of paper and writes out the math lessons by hand while talking you through each step.

I’m just watching this like, “where the hell was this lady when I was in 6th grade??”

My parents: “You just need to focus and finish your math homework.”

My undiagnosed ADHD brain: “No can-dos-ville babydoll.”

“Lets use Oracle DB for that.”

No. But there are a number of advantages of using PostgreSQL over the others.
