> Maybe my tap water has more minerals than your tap water

Unlikely; my tap water is well water. I do clean the humidifier with vinegar every week to keep the mineral buildup down. Then again, I do that with the shower head and tea kettle too (though a bit less frequently).

The big thing, as I've found it, is keeping the output down to a visible minimum. A big plume of mist that visibly lands anywhere isn't adding more water to the air - it's putting water droplets on the surface much like a spray bottle. It looks good, but isn't doing the job you're asking it to.
Ah, always wonderful seeing a multi billion dollar company leverage OSS in an attempt to launch a negative sum product as an internal political promotion move only to kill it off a year later. Such shall be recorded in the history of the Net.
> ADHD people develop tolerance to medication over long periods of time

Yes! I took Vyvanse for a little over a year. It was the best thing ever at first. The effects got progressively weaker until I could no longer justify using it due to the cardiovascular risk. Now I only take it before a high pressure test or performance.

Wish I could go back in time and take that drug again as if it was the first time...

> The proper medication and dosage should not make you feel "high"

This high is correlated with how fast the stimulant enters the brain. Drugs that enter the brain quickly and in large quantities often give this subjective experience and they're more addictive because of it. Route of administration can influence this. Safer drugs with lower abuse potential are designed to be released steadily in lower quantities over a long period of time.

Vyvanse is just an Adderall that gets released slowly over a long period of time. Therefore it has lower abuse potential than Adderall.
It's not really anything new: Most people generally don't want to entertain ideas highly contrary to their own. Enshrined in the the old adage that you should never discuss religion or politics in some circumstances. Thanksgiving dinners have been getting ruined for decades by it. The rate of that happening has very likely increased though.
Vat is dis "engineering team" you speak of?
I learn a lot by reading others' code. Can anyone recommend a a project or two that is small enough for a newcomer to wrap their minds around, that also exemplifies what makes a high quality F# codebase?
They don't. They assume that someone who has ADHD and has sought out a diagnosis and medication as an adult also has poor habits.
And on the other hand, Microsoft lost billions on Xbox (I can't find a citation, so I'm going from memory) and Xbox 360.

They stuck with it for decades and have turned it into a great product.
If anyone wants to see how someone built this in production without any of the "we're building a movement, we have a fancy landing page" hype:

Secure logging with syslog-ng Forward integrity and confidentiality of system logs @ FOSDEM 2020[0].

I'm starting to become really suspicious of things being pushed as standards/new approaches/things-that-should-be-rfcs-but-have-a-marketing-budget. As other posts have pointed out, an RFC for this already exists, and all I can see is Google trying to make another gRPC where new engineers hear the term "gRPC" before they hear and/or take the time to understand HTTP/2.

“ But Sale, who for years had been churning out books complaining about modernity and urging a return to a subsistence economy” - from the FA. While certainly modernity and technological progress has negative impact on certain parts of the human population (being in part blamed for societal isolation etc) , for the majority of human population technological advances has been a great leveler and a blessing. Over the last decade this has raised billions of people out of property line and in general increased the health and lifespan of most of the population. Even advanced societies like us have benefitted from it , though there is some negative effect. But to lobby for dialing back technological progress for the entire humanity - it is a very symptom of inequality that has been the result of industrial revolution and previous history and the privilege that certain societies enjoyed over others. We need to use technology itself to level the playing field , ensure wellness and happiness for everyone. What Sale and his fans need is not less technology but more looking inside - spiritual journey. But they have no right to demand policies to reverse technological progress for rest of the humanity.
The low code/no code tools will get better and there are more and more schools try to teach people coding and convert them into programmers. If you're 35 and above, it is only responsible for you and your family to have a plan B. Don't let others control your fate.
It's honestly not a bad idea, just a bad implementation. I use shadow.tech to achieve this and they do it well - instead of giving you game-specific VMs (or whatever Stadia is), they just give you a gaming VM with Windows and you install your own Steam / Epic / GOG / XBLive whatever on it.
If it hasn't already, social media almost certainly will.
> We run a service, aptly named ‘provision-service’, which does exactly what it says on the tin. It is responsible for configuring and testing new instances, and performing various infrastructural housekeeping tasks. Provision-service needs to talk to other internal Slack systems and to some AWS APIs.

The "configuring and testing new instances" part also sounds very fishy to me. Configuration should be done when creating the image and launch template, while testing should be the job of the load balancing layer. Why do we need a separate "provision-service" to piece everything together?
I don't agree that a century is "a few decades", my understanding of a "few decades" (and I believe, the person who was discussing this problem with me) is no more than 50 years. If you are clearly talking at the time scale of a century, I'll have no problem with this statement.

I wonder how expensive they'd have to make the training (just the training, not the actual trip to space) to break even on that, and whether that would be a viable commercial side project.
Sorry about that! I didn't see anything wrong with the title but I'm not familiar with Datadog's feature set. If you take the title as aspirational, it may make more sense.
Back in '07, my school still used a custom email protocol called Blitzmail that verified the user by sending a random number, having the user encrypt the random number via DES using his password as the key and then send the result back. One problem (there were many) was that passwords were 8 characters and DES only wanted a 56-bit key so the protocol just dropped the least significant bit of each character. So while everyone thought they had one password, they really had 2^8 = 256 passwords, where 'b' and 'c' were interchangeable as were 'd' and 'e' and so on...

Now that was easy to crack.
>MacOS and iOS have a smaller userbase than both of their main competitors. It doesn't have an app store monopoly either.

I don't have an iphone, but don't you have to jailbreak it to install any software not blessed by Apple? That sounds like a monopoly to me.
If there’s anybody out there who is requiring Pro Tools or anything else because it excludes a particular group disproportionately, that would be discriminatory

I think that’s a bit of a stretch. The core concepts of PT are available even in Pro Tools First (free). They’re requiring PT simply because it’s the industry standard in audio recording/production. Though I agree with the author, the use of it in podcasting is perplexing.

If we’re going to go down this Avenue, the same parallels could be made for Adobe products and the gatekeeping they had, even before they went to a SaaS model.

It’s unfortunate that the industry requires PT proficiency, but it literally wrote the book on DAWs. Plenty of producers/musicians use alternative software that’s cheaper or better equipped, but the PT pendulum has long swung; since they’re all using PT key mappings.
Probably not, it felt a lot like an experiment that was picked to win and then still didn't. Almost like a reverse i960, which ended up being really good at a few niche applications that certain problem spaces kept it in at least some demand long after it was effectively abandoned.

It's definitely aspirational. With time and work the features gap (for the important ones) will narrow:-)

What we want to emphasize is that it is possible to build this and have the advantages of a Datadog without the drawbacks.
The link clearly says its backpay:

One consumes information online, that information causes introspection and a better perspective of one's identity.

Usually it's not one specific event but a bombardment of information that over time, hopefully gives someone more perspective and their place in the world.

On the other hand, it closes some people off and causes the echo chamber. Cuts both ways.
Regarding the first paragraphs where luddism is mentioned several times; Lord Byron, father to Ada Lovelace the first programmer, was one of the few on the House of Lords to defend the Luddites:

> But the police, however useless, were by no means idle: several notorious delinquents had been detected; men liable to conviction, on the clearest evidence, of the capital crime of poverty; men, who had been nefariously guilty of lawfully begetting several children, whom, thanks to the times!—they were unable to maintain. Considerable injury has been done to the proprietors of the improved frames. These machines were to them an advantage, inasmuch as they superseded the necessity of employing a number of workmen, who were left in consequence to starve. By the adoption of one species of frame in particular, one man performed the work of many, and the superfluous labourers were thrown out of employment. [...] These men never destroyed their looms till they were become useless, worse than useless; till they were become actual impediments to their exertions in obtaining their daily bread.

There is a lot of proganda use of "luddites" as anti-tech when luddites main grief was regarding income and inequality.

But why would that be the case? ADHD means you have more need for good habits to get things done. And if you seek treatment as an adult you likely already tried everything, since otherwise you would have looked for treatment a long time ago as this is typically diagnosed for children. For me I saw massive improvements immediately and they never really stopped.
You are in a fortunate and dis fortunate position, but I can only point you to the answer: you know the answer.
Of course it does... What kind of Google project would it be if it didn't shut down?
no.

not even close.

things are quite in chaos here and there, as is normal, but it certainly hasn't turned into this absurd mad max scenario that was described.
>Probably do a multi-process media player, like Chrome is doing, with parsers and demuxers in a different process, and different ones for decoders and renderers. Knowing that you probably need to IPC several Gb/s between them.

Chrome and other browsers and apps, and drivers like virtual webcams, and libraries like Syphon, can all pass "zero-copy" image buffers around between different processes by sharing buffers in GPU memory (or main memory too of course) and sending IPC messages pointing to the shared buffers.

That's how the browser's web renderer processes efficiently share the rendered images with the web browser user interface process, for example. And how virtual webcam drivers can work so efficiently, too.

Check out iOS/macOS's "IOSurface":

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/iosurface

>IOSurface
Share hardware-accelerated buffer data (framebuffers and textures) across multiple processes. Manage image memory more efficiently.

>Overview: The IOSurface framework provides a framebuffer object suitable for sharing across process boundaries. It is commonly used to allow applications to move complex image decompression and draw logic into a separate process to enhance security.

And Android's "SurfaceTexture" and GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Sur...

>The image stream may come from either camera preview or video decode. A Surface created from a SurfaceTexture can be used as an output destination for the android.hardware.camera2, MediaCodec, MediaPlayer, and Allocation APIs. When updateTexImage() is called, the contents of the texture object specified when the SurfaceTexture was created are updated to contain the most recent image from the image stream. This may cause some frames of the stream to be skipped.

https://source.android.com/devices/graphics/arch-st

>The main benefit of external textures is their ability to render directly from BufferQueue data. SurfaceTexture instances set the consumer usage flags to GRALLOC_USAGE_HW_TEXTURE when it creates BufferQueue instances for external textures to ensure that the data in the buffer is recognizable by GLES.

And Syphon, which has a rich ecosystem of apps and tools and libraries:

http://syphon.v002.info

>Syphon is an open source Mac OS X technology that allows applications to share frames - full frame rate video or stills - with one another in realtime. Now you can leverage the expressive power of a plethora of tools to mix, mash, edit, sample, texture-map, synthesize, and present your imagery using the best tool for each part of the job. Syphon gives you flexibility to break out of single-app solutions and mix creative applications to suit your needs.

Of course there's a VLC Syphon server:

Why was the VideoLan Movie Creator (VLMC) abandoned? Will it ever be revived? It would be nice to have an open source video editor.
So how much do you need to reserve?
It's a thing, but it's barely a product (i.e. a market).
Indeed, the GPU is likely going to be more work than everything else combined. We already have Alyssa Rosenzweig from panfrost working on that, and some other mesa folks. I'll be doing kernel work; I have some experience with Radeon GPU kernel-side drivers to lean on.

Alyssa already got her first triangle rendered the other day (from macOS, but without using any macOS Metal frameworks):

https://rosenzweig.io/blog/asahi-gpu-part-2.html

Kernel work is blocked on the lower levels of the kernel being solid first, but I'll be jumping on that as soon as I can.

Bluetooth is just Broadcom again. I think it's the usual UART HCI stuff? I saw a Corellium patch fly by to their UART driver related to that I think, adding hardware flow control support? That driver is a waste of time; I don't know why but Corellium are writing bespoke drivers for some (simple) hardware that already has near-compatible Linux drivers (PASemi I2C is another one). I already added M1 support to the Samsung UART driver in Linux in ~200 lines of patch, and that has more features that Corellium's bespoke >600 line driver. It seems in general they're happy to waste time on code and approaches that will never make it to upstream Linux without a complete rewrite/rethink... which speaks about their approach to this.
We have to make choices, often complicated ones, so just the concept of recognizing our limitations doesn't really help. Or rather it does not change the basic fact that we have to live artfully and figure things out with very little information to guide us even in the best of cases. True neutral is not far from evil in a highly contrasted world where work has to be done.
Would love to. But will wait for the demo.
They can't use customer funds for collateral. If you give $100 to RH for a stock, RH gives $3 of their own money to the clearinghouse. Two days later you get your stock, the buyer gets your $100, and RH gets their $3 back. The $3 turned into the full $100 and RH can't use any of your $100 to pay it.
It's been almost 8 years since I was there. Working on flight software was probably fairly unique compared to other parts of the company. We were critical path for the company more often than not, so there was a lot of visibility and support, and a lot of praise when we hit milestones. Other engineering disciplines often worked harder than us, but didn't get the same praise due to less visibility. Folk at SpaceX are allowed and encouraged to work unsustainably hard, though, and so there's lots of depression leading to burn-out. My manager cared about my well being and it was possible for me to strike a sustainable balance; I had to consciously prioritize it though. I liked most of my coworkers and I'm pretty laid back socially, but a few drove me crazy. We'd play lan games on occasion. The froyo and eventual coffee bar and cafeteria were nice, and most of the company parties at the time were over-the-top. The first 20 seconds of a rocket/spaceship launch that succeeds or fails as a direct result of your work is a notable high.

I wouldn't say I know Elon Musk, but I attended meetings with him on occasion, and happened to sit next to him once at a fancy team dinner. I never directly had a negative experience with him, and in all the outrageous stories that I heard both sides to, he seemed to be acting rationally. He's definitely an intense, awkward dude. If there's a problem he thinks he can solve, he solves it; if you say a problem can't be solved and you don't have hard physical evidence, he'll fire you. As long as you act in good faith, he seems willing to move mountains for you if it will help reach the company goal. He has flaws like any human/martian hybrid, so I imagine some of his detractors are right about some things and some of his proponents are wrong about some things. I certainly wouldn't bet against him though.
Yes, but more frequently and unpredictably, at whatever resolution...
They should have just been honest about the situation from the start: "We were caught without enough capital to settle all your trades, we are sorry and will do better next time".

Instead they made it seem like they were protecting traders and doing them a favor. They didn't have enough cash on hand to settle trades and meet the capital requirements. They messed up on that front and are in the process of fixing that with additional investment from their wealthy shareholders.

It may be too late however as everyone I know that did trade on RH is now in the process of migrating to another more established brokerage.

Instead of blaming technology, why can't we blame capitalism? Capitalism obviously incentives both parties (big tech and the media) to compete for eyeballs and drive content to the bottom to make money. I don't think anybody is so nieve enough to believe that these companies have society's interests at heart. Their very existence is to make money.
Is that too much bleach though? I do just a few drops in my ~1 gallon humidifier that works continuously in my clone room and it stays clean and even keeps the Serratia bacteria that make the pink stuff in the reservoir at bay. I do use reverse osmosis water to fill it though.
Is breathing that much aerosolized chlorine a concern?

A calculator I use is here. Tap water is about 2 ppm.

https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/health-topics/environm...

Looks like you are doing about 30 ppm so maybe that isn't that much really.
gnus is quite good actually.

Not seeing that here. Perhaps the compromise is on your end.
On what, if there is no code?
I don't think the post-quantum block collision scenario is very plausible, and, at any rate, it's effectively an online attack (sweet32 follows the attack model Thai Duong and Juliano Rizzo came up with, where you're relying on malicious Javascript to trigger it). If we get to plausible quantum attacks of any sort, algorithms will get swapped out to regain security margin.

It's not like other quantum issues, where you're worried about transcripts collected today being broken 15 years from now.
I think the distinction is usually drawn at (a) payment is exchanged for services, and (b) the person providing the service is free to leave the role at their discretion (possibly with a contractual requirement to provide advance notice).
It's called 4chan.
I went through early parts of my life thinking little humidifiers were doing something and not until I got a relative humidity meter did I see how little they do unless you either a.) have a very big humidifier or b.) a very small sealed room. One of those "I'm sick" humidifiers can be going full blast and not budge the RH right nearby.
My experience with this platform seems to be completely antithetical to most people's and this article's proposal. They just released Madden, meaning they've made a deal with EA. Clearly no one cared about exclusive games. Everyone in the sphere wants this to be a console without a console. Which it is, and better, because any screen. If the gaming media anti-hype is the downfall of this product, I and others, will be sorely disappointed. I hadn't gamed in years, because, being an adult, I couldn't justify a purchase of over $150 on a console purely for gaming, this was a no-brainer, especially during quarantine. And coming from catching up on Steam on a 5yr old Linux box with a mildly upgraded video card, it was easily worth it to play mainstream titles with no compatibility concerns. I was super skeptical at first, but have been won over by any-browser playability, and server-grade performance, with only mild bugs.
