working on saying no to new projects, i have a tendency to fill up all the time i have available with startups or creative ideas.

thinking about taking dancing lessons instead, maybe afrobeats.

market this on the design aspect instead of the technical aspect! can imagine a lot of design studios would use design like this, it's clean, quirky and stands out.

> but they don't do very much

no no no, different elements have different behaviours. for example, a button automatically has accessibility features like being able to tab to it and select with Enter key, which is essential for a screenreader. do that with a div and you end up building the functionality from scratch.

if all you care about is the visuals, sure, there's little difference, but once you scratch the surface you will have a poor product by not using the correct elements (where there is a clear "correct" ofc, sometimes it's subjective).

Svelte 5 does a great job of raising warnings for this. You try to use an onclick on a div you get warning to make it tab-able and give it an aria role, and a reccomendation that you should probably be using a button.

it's also essential for keyboard navigation. accessibility is not only for people who have some impairment!

Alan Turing took his own life on purpose or by accident, he wasn't murdered

Many believe his “chemical castration” (forced hormone therapy) caused depression first, suicide later.

Some also believe he was poisoned.

I assume that is where the “murder” comes from.

If you read up on how the UK government treated him after the war, it was essentially murder even if they didn't outright execute him.

No, words mean things. If they didn't actually pull the trigger, it wasn't murder. That isn't to say it was ok to treat Turing the way they did, because it wasn't ok. But it's important to not pollute the meaning of words by misusing them for greater rhetorical impact.

And what led him to take his own life?

conflicted - people who have admired Elon in the past, how are you feeling about him now?

Drug addiction can affect your behaviour and degrade your brain.

To be fair, also so can being obscenely rich and not having anyone around telling you "no". Put them together with utopianist weirdos and the results are predictable.

and what do you think of him?

Sköldpadda - Swedish too

I am the author of this blog post. thanks for reading and mentioning me, but I also believe it is not the right post.

I made this helper function to navigate my projects, recursively, it will list them if there are more than one, but defaults to the first one unless you give it a number.

syntax:

  projects <project-name> <match index>

alias:

  function projects() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
      echo "please provide a project name"
      return
    fi

    local allMatches=$(find ~/Documents/projects -maxdepth 2 -type d -name "*$1*" -print)
    local firstMatch=$(echo "$allMatches" | head -n ${2:-1} | tail -n 1)

    if [ -z "$firstMatch" ]; then
      echo "no matches found"
      return
    else
      if [ $(echo "$allMatches" | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then
        echo "matches found:"
        echo "$allMatches" | awk '{print NR ") " $0}'
      fi
      cd "$firstMatch"
    fi
  }

you may still have adhd. eating well, having good habits and receiving accountability from your environment are all factors that manage the negative effects of the disorder.

also would be interesting to know your time frame for how long you've done this - to rule out the honey-moon phase

Nah I do't have ADHD, I was sick from the american diet

your anecdata is not really data though, to be broad enough to provide such generalized recommendation

I dont care about "anecdata", I am responding to what my body is telling me is healthy
