Maybe, but only being able to focus on things that happen to grab your attention/interest is one of the major pain points of having ADHD.

It's not a matter of preferring to work on more interesting things. It's more along the lines of not realizing uninteresting things need to be dealt with (or even exist at all, sometimes) until they bite you in the ass.

Keeping up the theme of starting a blog... you'll have a rational understanding that a blog needs content. But you'll get wrapped up in solving the more interesting design/engineering problems. Once those parts of the project have been sorted out well enough that you are no longer actively solving a problem (note, I didn't say they were completed), something unrelated, but more interesting, will cross your mind and steal your attention away.

Its presence is growing in the commercial and govt spaces. Oddly enough, I actually see it used more in those than in academia. Definitely a growing presence in all three though.

TBF, Optimus and power stuff aren't too much easier on a distro like Ubuntu (granted, they have come a long way). I usually end up having to look it up in the Arch wiki anyhow. Thank god for that site.

I get what you're saying, and I think I have a decent (enough) analogy to illustrate the difference.

The memory gaps you are talking about are sort of like lossy compression. The gist of what happened is there, even if you can't remember every detail. Blacking out is more like having a significant chunk deleted from the middle of the file.

Somehow, the article managed to miss what should have be a big part of the announcement. They found evidence of kerogens. That has a bit more impact.

Probably has to do with bioavailability, similar to vitamins from food vs vitamin supplements.

It does not come installed with Ubuntu 18.04. You can install it from the repo though.

Likewise, I doubt that too many people are etching flight controller PCBs and building brushless motors from scratch in their garages.
