At last I said goodbye to Adobe Reader and installed "Sumatra PDF".
What a relief!

It's weird but since getting my #ADHD diagnosis it's become clear that #cannabis is an executive function medicine for me.

It's weird because I'd never say it helps me focus; if anything it makes me somewhat more distractible. I end up spending hours playing the same video games instead of things that I need to do.

However, if I'm forced to do work, it helps me find enough stimulation in whatever chore I'm doing to keep doing it. Since I've been off it I have barely been able to work at all.

@NomadicNerd @clacke In a way, you already use those apps鈥攖hrough Mastodon.

People on Friendica (for example) send you messages. And you send messages to Pleroma.

It's just that you never need to leave Mastodon to do this.

But it also works the other way.

Many people who talk to you use other services.

New challenge for the 2048 Open Fun Game - huge game history.
Some days ago one of my users sent me game history having 120713 moves. In order to allow sharing and loading such a huge history we need to switch completely from using one long string to to saving and loading a game by chunks e.g. line by line from a file. https://github.com/andstatus/game2048/issues/8
Share and load huge game history 路 Issue #8 路 andstatus/game2048

In #4 we investigated a problem with sharing and loading games having about 50000 moves, and the app was optimized for that. But some days ago one of my users sent me game history having 120713 mov...

Our "2048 Open Fun Game" got an update. v.1.11.0:
1. Retries counter added. When you make a move after Undo (no matter if it is the same move as before or another move), number of Retries increases. The counter shows total number of retries done during the game and allows comparing different results more fairly.
2, Landscape screen layout added.
3. Optimized to allow games with more than 50 thousand moves.

It appears that making video about an app is not less fun than programming the app :-)

And see you as happy players having fun!

Winter in Moscow

I've been looking back over my career to this point (15 years in tech), as part of interviewing at a new company. I've had the realization that the best way, at least for me, to mitigate imposter syndrome, is to own my own ignorance early and often. Saying "I don't know" and having the world not end* a few times diffuses that anxious loop.

* assuming a non-toxic work environment. Jobs where this strategy works are also much healthier places to work overall.
