  • Well, my brain seems to be affected by it according to that test (difference score of 11) if I interpret the scale correctly

    But well, I also got autism and quite a few other mental conditions and learned all my life to cope quite well with all my disabilities; that’s why I specifically outsource direction question to a visualization that make the answer more tangible for me than listening to my intuition.

    But well, what works for some doesn’t necessarily work for all. And probably my other conditions have some influence on it as well. We’re all different, after all; even if sharing a few traits.



  • I get that. My intuition often mixes both up, too.

    That’s why I trained myself to say “driver-side” and “passenger-side” in my head when left or right come up. To a point where I don’t even have to think about thinking about it. I just visualize which side of car is meant instead of the rather abstract concept of left and right

    Might not help you; but it helps me










  • the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

    It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

    And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.

    I’d still be expected to listen when others speak

    I love chillin’ with other ADHD’ers: most understand if you zone out and tell them that.

    My colleagues also accept a “sry, that may sound a bit stupid; but my brain just cannot focus on this topic right now. I’ll come back to that later or tomorrow” (and as long as it’s occasional even a “sry, but my brain cannot do that at all. Can someone else please do this?”)

    cook without burning myself or the food

    I got a kitchen machine that does it for me. I can even forget my food without any chance of burning it. Worst case it’s cold.

    speak without repeating myself, speak in a way that makes sense to others

    Again, this is a problem I only have with neurotypicals; no problem along fellow neurodivergentd

    keep appointments

    Again just something that normal society expects. I have one single appointment per day I can’t miss (start-of-day-meeting). Everything else is movable most of the time. I don’t meet people at certain times, I meet them “that afternoon” and we will write each other when we’re ready

    read and comprehend instructions

    I know many neurotypicals that cannot do that.

    transport myself from place to place without injury or forgetting necessary items…

    Nothing to say against these points, actually…


    What I want to say is that most of the problems you listed are based on the expectations of neueotypicaldom. All of my friends and some of my colleagues are neurodivergent (most ADHD, some ASD, some both, I’m both) and honestly: As long as I don’t have to interact with the neurotypical world I don’t run in that much problems. It’s still not perfect, but way more manageable.



  • How you could somewhat rebase manually (to understand the effect; or because you like to handle the merge conflicts more granular or be more selective):

    We assume we have the branch “Feat” which was started on an old version of “Main”, and now want to rebase it:

    • Rename “Feat” to “Old” (does not happen during rebase, but we kinda need it for this demonstration)
    • Create “Feat” at the newest (or wherever you want) commit of “Main”
    • Cherrypick all commits from “Old” into “Feat”

    Et viola - you kinda manually rebased “Feat” on “Main”



  • It’s a (opt. Co-Op) Pokemon Survival Craft Base&Factory Building Game with Guns.

    While sometimes buggy and rough around the edges, and without offering many original ideas, the ensemble of everything they threw together is really good.

    Sure, it’s far from perfect, and every other moment, you can see the quite heavy inspirations they got from popular franchises.

    But it’s quite good.

    While not surpassing any of its inspirations in the field they got inspired in, it offers all these other things the inspirations missed.

    It’s parts may not be that good, but overall, it’s the combination of those parts that make it.
