Most modern UIs are shit, and not just for people with ADHD.

The biggest sins IMO:

• Everyone has to be unique, instead of sticking to established and successful design patterns. *Breaking existing UI elements (looking at you, infinite scroll).
• Trying to do everything, all at once.
• Not getting rid of old shit (hello Microsoft).

Cue every kid in Iowa telling teacher their pronouns are Fr/Fi/Fo/Fum for a laugh.

Yeah, it has the same initials as “Atlassian Intelligence”. It could really confuse people.

Career-wise, yes, in my experience.

When you start out in junior positions, you don’t tend to have a lot of autonomy in your work life. Other people are setting priorities, deadlines etc, and you’re just along for the ride.

As your career advances, you tend to take on more leadership duties. You’re more responsible for managing your own work, and then eventually other peoples’ as well. This is where executive functioning deficits tend to start to really hit home.

It’s not for nothing that a lot of people get diagnosed in middle age.

Don’t worry, the bigots who are backing him won’t let him forget.

Today it’s immigrants and trans people.

Just give it a couple of years for the hype/boom/bust cycle to complete, then it’ll settle down and people will start using the tech appropriately.

This isn’t even remotely ambiguous. The DoJ’s interpretation is correct.

The question isn’t really about the meaning of “and”; it’s about the syntactic structure of the whole section.

A defendant is eligible if they do NOT have (A and B and C). In other words, having any of A, B or C will disqualify them.

The law could have been written in a more readable fashion, for example:

the defendant—

• (A) does not have more than 4 criminal history points…;
• (B) does not have a prior 3-point offense…; and
• (C) does not have a prior 2-point violent offense…

But the meaning is the same either way. Amazing that this got to the Supreme Court.

It’s also entirely plausible that this is exactly what was intended when the law was written.

Not to mention it’ll work terribly in most light conditions.

Bonus points if you use an LLM to generate said illegible nonsense.

I have been asking for some better note keeping software at work for about 2 years now, because the M365 apps are garbage and don’t work for me. In spite of my workplace having a reasonable accommodation policy and the best of intentions, they have no process for handling requests outside the predefined standard stuff (screen readers, dyslexic-friendly fonts etc) and so the request has been stuck in limbo. I’m now on my fourth manager since it started LOL.

My work machine is W11 and has options to change it. Not one of those stupid ‘home’ vs ‘pro’ version things is it?

They used to have that as a filter. Although for a long while you could pick short (<4 mins) or long (>20 mins) but not medium length videos.

This, too, was a sign they had no fucking idea what they were doing.

Nope, I've seen it myself. Cannot imagine a more useless feature.

Some older online games have pretty good latency tolerance because they were built in an era before broadband was widely available.

Vanilla World of Warcraft, for example, has a ‘spell batching’ mechanic that helps to equalise things somewhat. You’ll need to play on a private server though because Blizz changed spell batching in Classic.

For web browsing? No.

Everyone knows what their end game really is.

Well, with their track record…
