Thank you, Margaret Hamilton, for everything you did for our field, including coining the very term for it.

When people are sincerely trying to be helpful, but their experience, judgement and diligence are not good enough to provide actual help, and it gets in the way.
Me: "[Hi, I requested X, please approve it so I can finally solve this thing.]"
*my workday ends*
Them: "[Hi, please note that you also need YZ or it won't work.]"
*my workday begins*
Me: "[I already have YZ.]"
If they would have just approved the thing, I could be finishing things right now, but now I have to wait until their workday begins again.
It was one click away for them to see that I already have YZ.

K-Drama "Sisyphus: The Myth"
Great characters, great cast, great emotional beats (if you don't mind corny), ace production, fantastic concept, completely butchered space-time model.
And no, it's not because the characters don't know or because we were misled. The logic has conclusive evidence at times, and the definite picture is unsound. There is some plain nonsense too, but not too terrible, it's tolerable.
The logic is at its absolute worst in the finale, but also surprises and redeems itself a bit.
I have a feeling that someone wrote a really clever and coherent time-travel story, and someone else went in and messed it up to make it "better". It's 90% there.

Many adults with ADHD find that they're most productive at night. They tend to hyperfocus on tasks and don't want to break their momentum. According to Dodson, after the sun goes down, they feel especially energetic and think more clearly. Plus distractions tend to be low.Olivardia cited neurological research that found that the "ADHD brain is prone to a delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS)." Instead of having a typical circadian rhythm - with sleeping hours from 11 p.m to 7 a.m. - people have an irregular pattern of 2 a.m. to about 10 a.m., he said

Does "artisanal" have a connotation of amateurish, or of being elaborate and superfluous rather than practical and of high quality?
I saw an article arguing "artisanal" was an unsuitable word for non-machine-generated software, because it would imply that you're not a software engineer.
In "Lanterns", flashbacks to Jordan and his dad have Queen's "Father to Son" playing on the radio in 1969.
"Queen II", where the song comes from, was released in 1974. The only single from the album was "Seven Seas of Rhye".
