Caveat emptor

Without going into personal details — I have a stake in ADHD. I'm raising awareness and try to help those who have it — knowingly or not. Due to that I'm always on the lookout of new knowledge, ideas, techniques and tools.

My knowledge is based on personal experience, accounts of those diagnosed and pre-diagnosed, conversations with therapists but also taken from the books and internet sources such as published research, info-sites or (rarely) popular publications.

I'm not a professional researcher nor a doctor. I don't cross-reference information so it's not unlikely that I am wrong. Please keep that in mind and if you find false information don't hesitate to contact me.

Basics

ADHD is a complex neurocondition that's difficult to either describe or categorize. In a nutshell it's a dopamine and norepinephrine dysfunction that might cover both their production and "consumption". Those hormones/neurotransmitters impact deeply on everyone's life. When they don't work as they should, they bring full spectrum of various issues.

Depending on case by case basis, it can be norepinephrine, dopamine or both that is driving person's ADHD. Dopamine seekers might engage in novelty, searching for something that gives them rush, being always on the run. Norephinephrine overproducers might be anxious and unwilling to change, making adventures only through the books. Mixed — well — it depends on a moment.

• Nobody needs a tire by itself
• Tires aren't exciting (except for tire engineers and tire salespeople)
• Tires "just are"

Mickey Petersen wrote nice piece about compile feature in Emacs - something I use a lot and I recommend the read.

I like to have instant feedback, so I use it for almost everything after which run recompile that replays last compile command. recompile can be bound to the key, but my favorite trick is to use Local Variables.

For the last few months I was very unhappy with my iPhone 13 Pro battery.

It was discharging way too quick. How quick? After 10 hours after unplugging I usually got "battery low" alert. I didn't feel my usage throughout the day would be enough explain it.

I tried to troubleshoot it, but to no avail. The only hint I got was "Find My" app, that was using 100% of the battery when inspecting part of the available battery slope. I tried various strategies but wasn't able to fix it.

Hey y'all!

Anyone up for a review?

Blackboxing of React Component is a (self-named) process that I use in order to separate visual component from the logic layer.

As a refresher - visual components are the type of components which role is to "look nice". They can have some logic inside, but ultimately they're dumb. They don't reach out for data, they don't handle complex state changes, however they can render different elements reacting to props changes. Components that have complex logic in them are usually named Controller Components or Logic Components. While it’s a very good idea to aim for such separation, real life project have this line blurred.
