I intentionally framed the problems I'm tackling in a way that resonates with a wide spectrum of people, so that I can get a variety of answers and work with anything that resonates well with me. In this process, I guess I didn't press hard on how debilitating executive dysfunction has been for my work (and life in general - story for another time) and I apologize for my assumption but I guess since you're neurotypical there's no way I can actually make you really understand the difference between the amount of energy and willpower required to execute on these tasks/planning/etc. I am formally diagnosed and have been on medicines in the past and the productivity difference and confidence in my abilities with and without medicines is day and night.

To provide a similar real world analogy that has potential to resonate with you: on medicines that work well with me, my core thoughts works as if a car is being driven on a freeway with properly defined rules and regulations, along with lots of other cars following the same rules. Without those medications, it's basically free for all, where there are absolutely no rules and regulations and anyone can drive anyway on that freeway. Sure, there's still a chance that every car reaches its destination safe and sound, but the amount of mental gymnastics needed at every point of time without those inbuilt rules in place is staggeringly exhausting.

This has been my life at work every day, because I have consciously kept myself away from medication for a variety of reasons. This post is an attempt to learn more of these structures and hopefully with enough practice, I'll become efficient in utilizing these structures so much so that it requires less effort and latency to maintain and execute them on a daily basis.

Can you share your experience on what worked/didn't work for you (medical and non-medical) and why? I ask 'why' as most ADD/ADHD people have similar symptoms, but their root cause can vary. Your answer can give insights to some of us out here!

Excellent writeup. Just one point that I disagree on is the Shipping price split up. I tend to look for other sellers when I see one with paid shipping, and tend to favour free shipping sellers more.

- If you are combining a discount with the product, and mention a shipping charge, the discount registers as a false discount ('He is just shifting costs through shipping split')

- Maybe it registers as more of mental processing (X$ + Y$ needs more time to process than Z$)

- Sometimes, it is human nature to be greedy, and look for best value possible. Seeing a shipping cost feels like seller is not 100% working for the customer, or we just become plain greedy, that why should someone else get a part of the price.

Just my 2 cents.

From what I could understand from the document, isn't ASLR along with NX a formidable defence? We need an address for gadgets to execute, but with ASLR enabled we cannot run these gadgets at all. Can somebody elaborate on this?

This website looks great. Hopefully sites like these will help the new comers in data science to jump start their education.

RHEL 5, mostly because most of the system ops seem to be more comfortable with it than the newer version.

What is (was?) WF?
