i personally think arylcyclohexamines and really just NMDA antagonists in general have a large amount of untapped therapeutic benefit, especially for individuals suffering from depression otherwise resistant to other forms of treatment. perhaps it's slightly anecdotal but in my experience, a daily to semidaily 150mg dose of memantine combined with cannabis prn as an anxiolytic is pretty much the most effective dosing strategy I have found to control my depression, anxiety, and lapses in attention. however i certainly don't recommend it for others, at least with that high of a memantine dosage because with its insane metabolic half life (60+ hours) it really conpojnds heavily. not to mention a therapeutic dose of memantine for what it's prescribed for (controlling dementia symptoms) is generally like 5-10mg. but I will say if you have the fortitude for it, it's a wonderful experience. you just have to be willing to essentially exist in a 24/7 state of moderate to heavy dissociation and not be too predisposed to panic because ive certainly seen heavy dissociative experiences to be quite anxiogenic for those who don't really get down with that. but I'd certainly suggest regular memantine usage over my old practice of constant high doses of dxm :V

Throw: done – if you think you know hn and the valley, read
so ive been here in SV for over 20 years. ive built many things which you have used but never n
knew of me. tried to do my own thing for years.

ive made many successful. built every salesforce building, several for google and fb and built brocade and lucas and others and others and others

i lost all. namely my kids. i spent too much time worring about work. i spent too much time on ops and devops and kvetching about fucking bullshit that was status about who the fuck cares about zucks pet bullshit "connecting" only to be fired from zucks bullshit for being "too socially involved" (hear that correctly you cunts)

ive been on hn for ten plus years, fuck you. the dregs you fund are bullshit.

i built spying networks military crap empowered shit that i will never be known for but people who i mentored shall...

fuck you silicon valley.

you are a scourge. i hate you.

wear a brown belt and a blue shirt and expensive jeans or, douche as sacca does: have your cuntiform manufactured for you.

apple, specifically, fuck you. i love the cock worship of jobs as it is ironic to how he started supposedly naming the company on acid in an orchard, or cisco your douchebags where bgp wouldnt exist without acid. and suck my cock stanford, youre the best of the worst. douche factory.

so fuck you too hn. make the world a better place. i challenge you to something you shall fail at.
Considering that Github and Twitter admitted to something very similar recently, it seems like there is a pattern emerging.
Does anyone have any idea on a common element that might be causing these situations?
I agree. Amazon also absolutely wants to encourage behaviour where you don’t even think before buying, so scammy listings like this are hurt their strategy. The fact that they later delisted the seller shows that they recognised the abuse.
Ansible all of the way. Chef and Puppet have too much overhead in comparison. Ansible is agentless. You can either use a centralized server for deployments or you can have every instance configure itself. Also, Ansible is YAML based, which is a strength and a weakness.

Chef is a runner up. Love their community and Chef is pretty straightforward once you learn the lingo.

Puppet doesn’t really work for modern Git development workflows (Hiera and r10k are duct tape) and testing Puppet is kludgey. Also, most of the docs you’ll find for it stopped getting updated in 2015 or so.
I did that for an item where the price had gone up to gouging territory (k-cups from 60cents/cup to well over $6/cup), and outlined my concerns: anxiety about subscribe and save prices, reluctance to Alexa order, and refusal of Dash buttons because I couldn't be assured of fair or stable pricing.

Amazon's response was:
"With sellers on Amazon, we do allow them to sell their products for the price they feel is fair."
Compile neural networks into small executables
Back around 1985, I got involved in a discussion on BIX with Bjarne Stroustrup about whether Cfront was a compiler or not.

Cfront was Bjarne's original C++ compiler. It translated C++ code into C code which would then be passed through a C compiler.

I didn't think Cfront should be called a compiler, because it didn't compile down to machine code and not even to assembly, only to another relatively high level language.

Bjarne was quite insistent that Cfront really was a compiler, and the fact that it compiled to another source language was immaterial. It did essentially the same things as any compiler, it only had a different back end code generator. And the code generator could later be swapped out for one that generates machine code.

Of course you can call it whatever you want, but Bjarne called it a compiler.
He's complaining about the simplicity. He wants something with less suck.
I can’t help but think part of this, at least when it comes to downvoted comments, is that the downvoting is very obvious due to the progressive graying. You’re more likely to notice something and ask yourself “wtf? There’s nothing wrong with this comment. clicks up arrow” than if the low score was just a number.
That's how colloquial language develops, however.

Nitpick: A vanilla tarball is a concatenation, not a compression.
i highly agree that more people should know about ibogaine but at the same time it is important to note that unless you really know what you're doing or you have an experienced professional administering it, you really shouldn't mess around with it. stuff is serious business and not unknown to be fatal.

also, i really wouldn't classify it as a psychedelic, as to my understanding it's more of a dissociative, which while quite similar in concept, any experienced psychonaut can confirm that dissos and psys are extremely different in practice and in mechanism of action.

personaly I'd say that ayahuasca would be better for the lay person since a traditional brew isn't as dangerous as ibogaine, but certainly as powerful in terms of self growth and discovery. however, they both address different aspects of the self; I would say that in general, psys are very internally directed whereas dissociatives tend to invert that and pierce the outward veil, as it were
VIVINT SMART HOME AUTOMATION
The only issue with his metaphor is that coyotes have been doing very well at the meta game. At the time of European contact there were no coyotes anywhere near Connecticut. Lewis and Clark didn't encounter them until they hit the great plains. Actually only a few decades ago there were no coyotes near the eastern US.

But coyotes are clever and they've learned to adapt and live in close proximity to humans. And as we've changed the landscape and removed & added various animals and plants to the landscape they've found niches that work for them and have expanded their range greatly.
So your idea is to enter a technological arms race with the people who physically control the machine your tracking code is going to run on? This approach isn't working very well for the people trying to fight ad blockers.

You are correct!

Technically every Bitcoin transaction is a smart contract, the language of the contract is Bitcoin Script (Forth-like, stack-based language, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script).

Currently, we are only using P2WSH to create 2/2 and 2/3 Multi-sigs but in the future, we hope to create other types of contracts with different clauses and also an easy to use UI to accompany it.

I am reminded of "How to create a unique/successful minimalist watchbrand": https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8

There was a great article in a similar vein from an author who sought to track the provenance of their fake watch (which from memory was on a site dedicated to tracking the provenance of objects, but I can't find the site), and in the process uncovered just how many of these brands were reselling cheap watches sourced from China.

It is a shame to see people so willing to make money by such unscrupulous means.
i havent read all 504 comments, and dont plan to, but this should come as no suprise to anyone, unfortunatly it does. cogress, dc, will not help there is too uch to gain, posting the info in real time of the ones in power, will shine a light on the issue, they will make it look like this has been taken care of-while it continues.
the ONLY solution in my opinion its a revolt-against big data/tech, not a boycott, and exodus to DIY open source tech.
The same thing you do with any 3rd party dependency -- save a copy of the source. Pull from DockerHub all you want but keep the images and their sources in a private registry and deploy your actual services from that.
Mid 90s here, to me there's something to it. To me the shift became noticeable around 2008, with it at least feeling like a good portion of my time online is spent on a smaller number of less exciting sites. Perhaps I simply burnt out early though.

On forums getting to know the groups members and it's in-jokes has the advantage of giving interactions a sense of scale or place, in that you roughly know who the people you're talking to are and have a degree of rapport or common interests, while still being pseudonymous and the freedom that brings is I think part of what made them appealing and special.
Forums can also become somewhat clique-ey and insular if new blood isn't rotated through, or can die out if the topic is too narrow to keep them active.

More content stream based social media (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit for the most part) has less of a focus around specific topics and discussing them and more presenting content and reacting to it. This results in people both tailoring what they make to generate hits, and interactions with other users being rather fleeting if you're not already connected to them, as the pool of people you're interacting with is often too large and unfocused to see those people again.

I'd say there are some exceptions though, such as subreddits that stay in a sweet spot of user numbers or Discord channels and Twitch channels for example. Additionally 4Chan is somewhat of a blend of the content stream and a forum system.

Part of the reason it's going this way is that the content stream approach is better-suited to advertisement and appealing to larger audiences. In school a surprising number of people would browse through the front page of Reddit never going into subreddits or commenting for example. I would guess Lurkers like that make up a good portion of users now, and I think advertisers and site builders will tailor to them.

In general a slight shift from the internet being a space for collaboration between people to a place for companies to sell things seems to have happened. A small example is game maps, servers and skins going from being things people made and shared with each other to something companies sell.
I wonder how many of the 16-million East Germans had this same utopian outlook on it..

Good counterpoint! Oddly, in my mind, Mozilla is not nearly as new dev friendly as the kernel is. I suspect that is just a bias in my thinking, though.

I feel that git was winning a lot of mindshare even before github. I know I certainly was using it before github. Big plus for me was the git-svn bridge that existed. Especially since I was working remotely at the time, it was much faster for me to do checkouts with a git-svn clone than to deal with raw svn checkouts. It wasn't even close. Did git beat Mercurial to that?

I don't automatically mistrust reference contact information provided, I'm just explaining some of the risks. The risk wouldn't end after the reference checks, the truth could come out at any time and could result in dismissal.

> Your hiring practices seem a bit off to people coming from private industry

I don't care what handful of people think, especially when they seem to be just thinking adversarially and not speaking from experience. None of us are in a position to speak about what practices are prevalent in any sector. But you can now say you've encountered someone who claims to have been a hiring manager that, on at least one occasion, didn't just go by the contact information provided for a reference check.

I don't mean anything beyond that I'd have a strong emotional reaction to such a large deception and would wish for there to be consequences so they would regret it and never do it again. Courts didn't cross my mind but in then little that I have thought about it, my guess has been that there wouldn't be anything to do.
I thought I would also add my two cents, though there have been many excellent responses already. I am about to defend my PhD in Physics at MIT.

First of all - great idea! It is never too late to learn math and physics! In fact, with hard work and commitment, anybody can muster them to a high level.

(1) Reading =/= understanding in math and physics. You understand a topic only if you can solve the problems.

(2) Work through the solved problems you encounter in textbooks carefully.

(3) Most people around me have never read any physics textbook cover to cover. E.g. reading Halliday, Resnick & Walker completely might take you years! Not all topics are equally important. Focus on the important parts.

(4) You need guidance on what is important and what is not. Online courses, college material (especially problem sets!), teaching webpages could be a helpful guide. Checkout MIT OCW, once you are ready.

(5) Finding someone to talk to is really useful. You will likely have questions. Cultivating some relationship that allows you to ask questions is invaluable.

(4) College courses in math and physics have a very definitive order. It is really difficult to skip any step along the way. E.g. to understand special relativity, you must first understand classical physics and electrodynamics.

(5) Be prepared that the timescales in physics are long. Often, what turns people off is that they do not get things quickly (e.g. in 15-30 minutes). If you find yourself thinking hours about seemingly simple problems, do not despair! That is normal in physics.

(6) You have to 'soak in' physics. It takes time. Initially, you might feel like you do not make a lot of progress, but the more you know, the quicker it will get. Give yourself time and be patient and persistent.

(7) Often, just writing things down helps a lot with making things stick. It is a way of developing 'muscle memory'. So try and take notes while reading. Copying out solved problems from textbooks is also a good technique.

(8) Counterintuitive: If you get completely stuck, move on! Learning often happens in non-linear ways. If you hit an insurmountable roadblock, just keep going. When you return in a few days/weeks, things will almost certainly be clearer.

But on a more serious note, while I somewhat agree that not all marketing is evil, some absolutely is. I do not consider the marketing that cigarette companies did to knowingly hook kids on an addictive, cancer causing substance a good thing; I find it rather evil. Since it can be used for evil, I would rather make it as difficult as possible for them to use it against me. It might be a mostly pointless exercise, but it makes me feel better about it.

Your video argues that it's complicated to measure the growth of the middle class. But the best number shown is 23% growth over 31 years, 1979-2010. I think that qualifies as lack of growth. For reference, the GDP grew 230% in those years.

A followup video argues that lower household income is due to smaller households, but fails to mention that individual income also trends down.[1]

Though your video appears neutral, it is presented by a libertarian and the key 23% statistic comes from a conservative economist. The argument that we shouldn't trust numbers is misleading when there is well-documented evidence across a range of measures that growth is concentrating in the upper class.[2]

I feel like number of comments should carry more weight than upvotes. Then upvoted comments could weigh the entire story up further too, pushing quality discussion over a simple upvote click.
This really isn't that different from having some pre-built statically liked app still kicking on your system with the source and/or build tooling long gone.

There aren't really easy answers here. You can't fix bad software with more tooling.
It would be very strange if tennis skill was normally distributed. More than likely it’s a power law. Reaction time, physical strength and speed are normally distributed. The product of them will be approximately exponential. That’s almost certainly a better approximation of tennis skill. Ditto for likelihood to get rich. Intelligence, conscientiousness and luck for those. Luck is obviously an enormous factor in accumulating wealth. You’re a great deal more likely to get wealthy in the US than in Botswana and where you’re born and who you’re born to are luck.
This is apparently not an uncommon reaction. It's usually called an ego death.

Every build system is like Make, but more friendly for their language (IIRC Make was originally for compiling C and C++). Make just so happened to become generic enough to build damn nearly anything and also get bundled into most Linux distros.

I think the author is arguing that having to install a shit ton of dependencies to use some other Make-like build system is garbage. That’s true in some cases. But I wouldn’t want to use a Makefile for packaging Node; npm is great for that and understands how Node works.
Boy, you sure make fragmentation, constant wheel reinventing, and the necessity of complex tooling to perform simple tasks almost sound like a good thing. I suppose it must be for the small percentage of people who value those things over actually being able to do stuff.

Given the near-complete lack of non-oss software support Linux has, it seems like both developers and users rather prefer uniform common runtimes and a lack of diversity in their operating system components. It's almost like a whole lot of things get much easier if there's some kind of standardization.
