> Get diagnosed and get a low-dose of meds. It helps _a lot_. You will likely hate the feeling they give you for the first week (you will genuinely feel high even on 10mg Adderall XR), along with nightmares and night sweats but after a few weeks, you'll suddenly be productive at a very normal level.

I wonder if I could have persisted long enough with Adderall to find a theraputic effect if it had been during lockdown. 10mg of Adderall made me unsafe to drive to work (I would suddenly get the subjective sense that my car was completely still and instead all the parked cars on the side of the road were hurtling at me at 25 mph).

My doctor actually started me on a higher dose (15 or 20mg maybe?) because I needed such a high dose of Ritalin to get a theraputic effect (and at that high of a dose it greatly impacted my sleep). I took it exactly once and I didn't feel tired for 36 hours and was completely non-productive. For the first time I finally understood what all that clinical language describing the symptoms of a manic episode were all about.

Vyvanse did not feel nearly as bad subjectively, but my wife insisted I change meds because I was (in her words) "an asshole" while on it.

Finally settled in on 20-30mg of Focalin a day. The year of titrating the doses of each medication was hell. And then when we finally figured it out, my company switched insurers I had to change the pill sizes (not total quantity) to get it covered with the new insurance.

The one thing I'd like to add is that diet for me made a huge difference. I might as well not be taking the meds if I have a carb-heavy breakfast. Prior to taking the meds I had quit eating breakfast altogether because I felt like such crap around lunchtime if I ate breakfast. Obviously taking stimulants on an empty stomach is not a great idea, and my psychiatrist helped me out to go for a breakfast that doesn't provoke such a strong insulin response.
Study of a Library Project
How long have you been taking it? The cracks will show years down the road, not initially.
Cynical answer: Because at big tech companies culture leads them to believe they have to have a competing product in every new market rather than letting their "competitors" go unopposed. Occasionally it works out, but often you just get a ton of also-rans. The companies are so big a profitable that even complete failure barely moves the stock price.

Nobody is incentivized to point out the proverbial emperor has no clothes. Top execs have something they can point to as "innovation" for a few quarters. Lower leadership for the project has their kingdom expanded and probably comes out the other end better off career wise. I would imagine its most frustrating for the actual IC's and PM's who pour their lives into something that eventually just gets unceremoniously deprecated, but they get to cash some pretty good paychecks and it probably helps their careers as well.

I did that years ago for some project. For recipes you can probably get away with regular expressions.

But with Spacy you could tokenize the sentence, then tag each work with the Part of Speech it is, and then find patterns eg. Verb Number Noun Preposition Noun

Then match the first noum against a list of measurements (tablespoon, teaspoon, tbsp...) and extract the rest of the components.
Likely this is because they do not have other options. Ever since 2016, they have been 'alerted' that their stack is fragile to regulation and other outside forces. Zuck has been hauled up in front of Congress a few times now over many things, including the tracking issues. The C-suite is very much aware of the problems.

I suppose they are trying to throw a fit now, and then relax to their secondary position when they must. But knowing how large bureaucracies (don't) work, there is no fall-back position. There is no 'there' anymore.
Ah I have fun memories of configuring Token Ring networks and playing with Novell NetWare to get my lab to connect properly. I can see why you'd want to upgrade from that though, 4Mbps was pretty pokey, even back then.

Okay, now try to read this comment with a screen reader accurately. Someone who knows chinese, japanese, and english will be able to pronounced both of those words correctly. There's no heuristic that can do the same.

I should be able to annotate each of those characters with whether it's meant to be chinese or japanase.

Apparently, synthetic compounds analogous to those found in Khat. From what I gather, there are several compounds that qualify as "cathinones" and I expect they have varied effects. Drugs often have different effects on different people, too (see alcohol intolerance). Also, with any home-cooked organic chemistry, there will be a lot of variance in the product. Also, with any street supply, you never know what it's cut with (even if it appears to be beautiful dank nugs).

I think you miss the point the point I was trying to make (i.e. I didn't articulate it well).

Regardless of how trivial you think it is, the fact that so many people demonstrate a preference not to should make you think harder about the problem. It's not just the technology, and many tech people tend to get this wrong consistently.

Let's put it another way: if it was actually as trivial as you seem to think, it probably would have happened already.
Compelling to a significant demographic maybe? “Controversial” can include violent. Seems like those games tend to be technically amazing, as well as particularly entertaining / humorous if that’s your thing.

I got diagnosed with ADHD age 15. Methylphenidate gave me these zombie like spacing out symptoms. I later switched to Amphetamine and didn't feel the negative side effects of Methylphenidate.

Methylphenidate is the only authorized substance for ADHD treatment here in Germany. I had to pay for my Amphetamine treatment by myself. I had the impression that the pharmaceutical industry doesn't have an interest in getting an authorization for amphetamines as that substance can be produced by a local pharmacy on site. Even thou I can confirm that the side effects are much less with amphetamines.

Now age 35 I haven't taken any medications for ADHD for 8 or 9 years. It was good to help me with school and university but now I don't need to put myself into a position where medication could be helpful. Still wouldn't want to work in an open floor plan office. Not sure if that is an medical condition.
Bingo. They didn't even bother to include Stadia support in the latest Chromecast. To me that says nobody high up at Google cares about Stadia in a meaningful way. At this point I'm taking bets on how much Play Store credit Stadia subscribers are going to receive when the service shuts down and all their purchased games evaporate.

The saddest part is, the technology works well. Really well. If Stadia had launched as a Netflix for games it would be very successful. Paying full price for individual games that stop existing as soon as Google gets bored? That's a dangerous investment my friend.

How do you normalize your Json structure so it can be queried? Do you enforce a schema on your JSON or do you morph it on export into a common structure.

If you enforce a schema on the Json structure how do you handle the changes on the live system?

There was recently an article about Stadia where a developer from a decent sized studio claimed they were approached by Google for Stadia. What did Google offer for the developer to bring the game to Stadia? Almost nothing. The figure was in the tens of thousands.

For reference when Microsoft/Epic approaches the studios for games on their platforms they front the entire development cost. Sometimes millions of dollars. Google is just cheap and won’t invest in their own platform.

Direct quote:
"We were approached by the Stadia team," one prominent indie developer told me. "Usually with that kind of thing, they lead with some kind of offer that would give you an incentive to go with them." But the incentive "was kind of non-existent," they said. "That's the short of it."

I can't recall the last time I drove somewhere and was impacted by a road closure that wasn't clearly marked with a detour, or there wasn't an immediately-obvious alternate route. If you're not blindly following GPS navigation, and pay attention to signs and what's going on around you, it's not an issue.

I use Google Maps navigation from time to time and I get that it can be helpful negotiating new territory. Of all the newfangled gadgets in cars, that's the one that has the most value, but it should be a supplemental tool; you shouldn't be lost and hopeless without it.
And Mongo is even worse. You can easily change document structures, but now you have inconsistent data over time.

> highly taxed drugs will likely result in an increase in related crimes like theft.

Even if taxed at 100%, I have a really hard time believing that will result in most in drugs being more expensive.
Oh great.. I'm actually a fan of certain UI upgrades/revamps, when done appropriately.

I know I'm in the minority here when I say this - between the fine folks at HN - (and I truly do understand the sentiment), But I can't help myself... sorry fellas!
Stadia already has very low latency. Maybe not enough for VR, but it's still an impressive achievement.
Is Square hiring SWEs with < 2 years of experience right now?
It's a lot simpler to use a single system as both your data lake, and your data warehouse. As Databricks gets better and better at the core data warehouse features, it becomes feasible to use it for both. Meanwhile, Snowflake and BQ are coming from the other direction, implementing data lake features. AWS strategy seems to be, just make it easier to have 2 systems and move data back and forth.

Maybe? The architecture is weird -- it required user programs to be aware of and utilize superscalar pipelining. Superscalar pipelining was a great bet, the assumption that programmers and application writers could explicitly take advantage of it was not. It's a really COOL architecture, but I'm not sure it could ever have been a commercially successful one.

> So basically you agree that Robinhood stopped purchases of GME, despite the massive reputational risk it entailed, because they faced a very real risk of insolvency.

I never said anything otherwise.

> Nearly destroying your firms Brand as a favor for an easily replaceable market maker doesn’t pass any rational test.

I cannot speak to how "easily replaceable" Citadel is. Given that RH chose them so much more over other market makers in recent years, I can only assume that Citadel's destruction would result in at least some financial loss for RH. I do not know what the extent of that loss would be, though. I suspect they would probably not consider it alone to be worth the damage to their brand.

While their action might have improved their relationship with Citadel, I agree that they would probably not consider it alone to be worth the damage to their brand.

There is also the matter of it being in RH's own best interest to have GME stabilize (and ideally decrease), regardless of any relationships they have with any market makers. As collateral requirements decrease they would be able to facilitate more trades, which is how they make money.

As someone speculating from the outside, I cannot say whether all or any of these factors were considered as part of the decision to restrict GME purchases while continue to allow sales. Maybe the idea of restricting sales never even crossed their minds. Maybe they just thought it would hurt their reputation even more. Maybe they thought it would open them up to liability if the stock value decreased.

The thing about conflicts of interest is you can make rational decisions despite them. But those on the outside can never be sure about your motivations. Hence why I believe an investigation is needed - especially when there are billions of dollars on the line.
this is false since things keep on changing.
A great book. If you want to explorer some of the same themes I recommend his Baroque cycle, which carries on with other characters that are the current charecters distant ancestors.
It's a lot cheaper. You can imagine the cost getting down to basically the cost of the controller if users already have a streaming device (eg Chromecast) capable of running the streaming client.

Putting aside Cyberpunk's overall problems, it performed a lot better on Stadia than last gen hardware https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/10/22167303/cyberpunk-2077-...
PC Games with the power of an always-upgraded PC. Maybe not 100% top of the line, but above average, always, with no upgrade cost.

Plus you can play on your TV, mobile device, computer, etc, with the same game saves seamlessly moving between all of them.

No initial $400+ cost.

It offers a lot of the same benefits as consoles, including a monthly subscription that provides good, free games.

The downsides are latency and having to have an internet connection, and the latency is actually pretty decent. Oh, and having to buy the games from Stadia, even if you already own it on Steam, but that's no different than other "consoles".

It's a very compelling platform that they've completely failed to market correctly. With them giving up on first-party games, it seems pretty inevitable that they'll give up on the whole thing now, too. A lot of people never thought it'd last in the first place, and that's partly from their history and partly because Google didn't show enough commitment to it. Those studios that they just shut down were the best proof of their commitment.
When they say "still shipping" I imagine a box in a warehouse somewhere full of new old stock for enterprise customers with really long maintenance contracts. I'm sure nobody is actually working on the architecture anymore - I wonder when the last chip came off an assembly line.

Not suggesting medication or that you take something you shouldn't; absolutely do your own research!

Look into HVMN Sprint. Pretty long shelf-life, well-controlled dosage and focused on focus rather just ENERGY TO THE MAX.

I loved Monster back in the day but its taste makes me sick just thinking about it.

> While that's not a significant issue if you live nearby, for our friends all over the world it means every time you type a letter, you had to cross an ocean at least twice! That means you could see latencies as high as 300ms for each keystroke!

I feel like we should be doing a lot more to minimize the effects of latency between the client and server, like mosh does.

For something like a browser-based IDE, where you have a whole-ass rich client programming environment, the best in the world, literally nothing about the client-server latency should be "each keystroke".

Even in full "multiplayer", 500ms latency should not affect anything meaningfully. The whole point of using js and the web is to free us from shared screen sessions and ssh.
I don’t think many people have a problem with the concept of game streaming or even google implementation. It’s the fact that you have to buy games specifically for stadia and that one day google will shut down the service and a lot of people are going to lose the games they paid for.
It's tough to assign blame and responsibility to systems that are inherently probabilistic. ML algorithms output probabilities so even as the algorithms get incredibly good, unlikely scenarios will inevitably occur in large enough samples. This isn't a problem when the task is to tag your Facebook photos but is a problem when driving a car in the real world.
People who are sleep deprived will actually have many of the symptoms of ADHD; poor subjective sense of time, difficulty focusing, &c.

Some customers have a hard requirement that their slack instances be behind a unique VPC. Other customers are easier to sell to if you sprinkle some “you’ll get your own closed network” on top of the offer, if security is something they’ve been burned by in the past.

I agree with you the mTLS is the future. It exists within many companies internally (as a VPC alternative!) and works great. There’s some problems around the certificate issuer being a central point of failure, but these are known problems with well-understood solutions.

I think there’s mostly a non-technical barrier to be overcome here, where the non-technical executives need to understand that closed network != better security. mTLS’s time in the sun will only come when the aforementioned sales pitch is less effective (or even counterproductive!) for Enterprise Inc., I think.
