MIT OCW Operating Systems has been taken down in the last few months.

I can’t find the lecture recordings on YouTube or OCW anymore. Hope someone archived them.

Has anyone hired a programming/CS tutor?

I work in embedded and mostly use Python to call underlying C. I'd like to understand what's going on "under the hood". I don't have a formal CS background.bottomupcs has been an awesome resource! teachyourselfcs is a good starting place, but I'd like to accelerate my progress.My understanding is, in a CS program, courses such as Data Structures and Algorithms - theory, is taken at the same...

Appreciate your reply. It’s helpful to have insight into what you’ve settled on.

I’ll try some of these myself. Still haven’t found my ideal cycle times.

How do you fit emails and meetings into your schedule?

By scheduling task-specific pomodoro’s around meetings?

Do you use pomodoro cycles on email and other communication?

Say some urgent situation pops up which requires several emails to be exchanged. Does this throw off your schedule?

What do you do during your Pomodoro rest gaps?

How long are your rest gaps? 5 minutes is too short for me.

Appreciate you articulating your experience. I resonate especially with “slip ups” which ruin a routine. Also, knowing what to do but without the follow through.

I’ve tried medication as an adult. It doesn’t fix all my problems but helps me get started doing things I don’t particularly want to do.

Unsure of your insurance situation. I’ve identified two paths:

1. Specialized ADHD care

2. Generalized psychiatry/medication

I went with #2 as #1 seemed to require several thousand dollars upfront, and potential insurance gymnastics which I doubt my ability to follow through on.

With #2, a shotgun approach to finding care is effective. Some practitioners are not accepting new patients. Try a bunch. Psychiatrists aren’t the only ones who can prescribe medication. If you have a PCP they can also prescribe it. There are also nurse practitioners.

#1 may be better long-term. Haven’t explored this further.

There’s something missing here. The insiders club created by the closed beta. Only famous personalities were allowed access.

Enormous hype leading up to the launch was wasted by gating the majority of players into watching streams.

This led to the creation and widespread awareness of a meta game before non-casual players could even touch the game. Arguably, one of the most fun times to play a game is during launch, before spikes know what to netdeck and most are clowning around.
