>I see this repeated often and I've never been able to find a source for it. I do not believe stimulant medications affect people with ADHD and without ADHD differently.

I'm sorry but you clearly haven't even tried to research the subject, so I'm not surprised you don't believe it. People with ADHD have been scientifically proven to have deficiencies in specific neurotransmitters, namely norepinephrine and dopamine. There's multiple studies on ADHD and reward pathways you could find with a simple google search.

If you understand how amphetamine based stimulants such as adderall work, you'll know these are 2 of the major neurotransmitters that they target along with serotonin.

The entire reason for using these types of medications is to improve availability of neurotransmitters to those with abnormal production that impedes cognitive function. Sure people with normal levels can take stimulants and see effects, since these drugs don't balance levels, they just increase them. In a person with normal dopamine production it's just going to lead to an imbalance, and result in the euphoria feeling they're seeking, whether they want to admit it or not.

Edit: the article you posted doesn't even support your argument. It seems in people without ADHD, the medication resulted in increased impulsivity and distractibility.Most likely as a result of abnormal levels of norepinephrine. This is evidence of the drug having literally the opposite of it's intended effect when taken by people without ADHD.
Not really, there may have been ebbs & flows in demand, but the trend for the last 3-4 years has been prices much higher than retail:

If you want evidence check out this link. It shows the the lifetime prices of a GTX 1060 card since its release in 2016. It had an MSRP of $250, yet for most of it's life since sometime in 2017 it's been around $320 or higher, more than 125% of the MSRP, and, when this particular model was last available, over $400. Even used its almost always been above $250, with an average used price over $350:

I own this model, and use it to humidify a small room. I sympathize with the author's complaints with respect to the difficulty of cleaning it, though mine just doesn't need cleaning very often. And the wick DOES get moldy if you let it sit in wet water for weeks on end.

But her other complaints puzzle me:

I don't find it to be messy to refill. What is she doing wrong?

It's even more baffling that she thinks it "doesn't work". I mean, she refills the tank every night, so we know the water is disappearing from the tank... where does she think the water is going? Isn't that proof enough that it does, in fact work?
Sharing Via Wifi has been exactly what I needed twice in the past few months! Having the ios vlc just host a local web page so that any device on the wifi can drag and drop files in a web browser is so cool.
I don't think I can agree with that as long as the FDIC exists.

CruxOCM (https://www.cruxocm.com/) products provide "autopilot" for industrial facilities, directly impacting safety, environmental performance, and operational efficiency. We are a company of ~15 that is growing quickly, and we have an exciting year ahead of us with a number of projects (stay tuned for press releases out soon).

We're looking for senior level engineers who can independently deliver technical solutions, and who can perform in a remote, young org (less process, more "get stuff done"). We use python mainly at the moment.

We look forward to hearing from you! Apply at https://bit.ly/2MLRTt6
I think the one in the images is slrn, which has always been good for reading lots of stuff with vim keybindings. http://www.slrn.org/
I'm with this on flavor, I'd add cardamom or some other umbellifer... what was the meat/cookie interface like?
So, I have one of these running in my room right now (and have for the whole winter thus far). No white dust. That said, I don't run it at full power, I keep it where I can barely see any mist coming out.

It humidifies the room quite nicely, keeping it at about 40% humidity (our house averages 25% without humidifiers running, which is hell on skin and noses).
That is what happens when you see reality instead of carefully selected cheery lies.

You didn't see the mentally disabled in the basement, the arrest of wounded veterans under "ugly" laws justified by maternal impression theory an utterly moronic misreading of biblical miracles as implying what the mother sees influnces form of the child. Except there is a major derth of livestock how to's in the bible and a lot more focus on miracles.

Lies deserve destruction.

Yes, COVID has made this worse, but the trend extends back years. If you pick a random GTX 1060 card and look at its price trend (see my other replies in this thread for an example, I don't want to copy/paste spam) you'll see trends that, since sometime in 2017, were about 25% higher than MSRP and their lowest prices, often higher.
> Coming from Oracle, I was always taught that NULLs are not indexed

That left me wondering how, if all indexes are by default partial in Oracle… how does one make an unpartial? nonpartial? index.

https://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/where-clause/null/index

Apparently, you add a computed column to the index that just computes a constant value. And single non-null column then causes the nulls in other columns to get indexed, it's only if the whole tuple is composed of nulls that it gets left out.

That also seems like a bug waiting to happen; someone inverts a query to find unset (NULL) entries, and now you're doing a table scan.

…but it seems also like a form of brain rot, induced by a particular implementation, e.g., similar to how I've had MySQL users ask how to make a key on a table. Where a "key" is an index, it's just that MySQL by default uses the word "key" to mean index, instead of … key¹. (The query language even supports "INDEX" in place of "KEY", but things like "SHOW TABLE" default to the "wrong" (linguistically, not programmatically) word.) And then you might have to de-tangle why these two are different concepts, how they're different. It's very Arrival, in the sense of language (mis-)shaping perception.

¹a key is a set of columns that are sufficient to identify a row. The primary such set of columns is … the primary key. An index can index a key (if more than one exists within a table), but it doesn't have to.
I live in an exceptionally dry area - I'm taking the humidity from too-low-to-register-on-the-hygrometer to 30%RH - so there's no material mold risk either around the windows or in the HVAC ducting.
This is so funny to see on Hacker News and ironic because I'm sitting at my computer literally right next to 2 of these units that I'm planning on selling. Bought one for our room and one for our child's room. We have humidity sensors in both rooms and I've studied the delta after hours of use. It does not move the needle of humidity in the room. On top of that, it created a horrible moldy/musky smell.

My father built a new house and has humidifier built into the HVAC (I guess newer systems have this). One day, I'll have that. One day...
VirtualDub was awesome, and I used it a _lot_, but it seems like it's been pretty dead for about 8 years or more.
Thanks for clarifying. I think all the great work you’re doing on this is at risk of being diminished by pushing the DataDog comparison so hard when really there is (currently) no comparison in my view.

Not to say you won’t get there, but why not shout about your current strengths right now (if you’re going to talk about the product) and not necessarily where you hope to be.

I only make this point because the “open source DataDog” headline just spins me off in the complete wrong direction as a newcomer and I end up confused and somewhat underwhelmed. With better positioning this wouldn’t have been the case!

That said, the project looks v interesting so keep up the good work and I hope you take my constructive criticism in the way it’s intended!
This sort of this could be used to create a "plain language" CLI right? So you could have the usual flags etc and then a separate version for less tech literate people that allows something like "list hidden files" (I know `ls -a` isn't particularly hard to remember I just need a contrived example).
> A lot of comments here are warning about the addictive properties of stimulant medications.

Beyond everything else you've said which is all correct and reflects my experience, I want to point out something that doesn't seem well known in the general fabric of the ADHD topic:

Addiction and substance abuse are a common trait in adult undiagnosed/untreated cases. Alcohol abuse, amphetamine abuse, you name it. I can speak from personal experience here: before I understood I had a real chemical imbalance affecting my whole life, I had used and abused alcohol to the point it significantly damaged my life, and some important relationships. I can't say for sure that wouldn't have happened if I'd been diagnosed and treated earlier, but I can say the knee-jerk reaction about medically prescribed treatment that has very little risk of abuse/addiction is inappropriate given the outcome that's much more likely without treatment.

tangential question. but is there a credible online tool or something to get diagnosed for adhd? i don't want to see a psychiatrist.
Understand that this is the norm. And understand that when you present differing opinions without being asked, you’re acting selfishly — you’re not doing it because you care about them, you’re doing it for yourself.

Ultimately it depends what you want out of your personal relationships. I’ve found people who are willing to talk. But I haven’t found people who genuinely change their mind about deeply held beliefs without a lot of patient — emphasis on patient — conversations over a long period of time. And sometimes I’m the one who changes their mind.

So I don’t think you’re going to be satisfied if you feel you must be able to change your group’s minds about social issues. A group is its own form of entity. If you don’t identify with your group, find another one. They exist. But if you don’t identify with your associates, that’s a hard problem which won’t go away.

It helps to accept that you care about them more than what they believe, and leave it at that.
Did you mean my original comment? I've tracked prices. Also google "GPU shortage" and you'll see articles like clockwork for the last few years, but here's a specific example of a GTX 1060 w/ $249 MSRP that averaged > $350 new & used over it's life, with sharp increases in 2017 after which the price practically never dipped below 125% MSRP: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B01IEKYD5U
> If the people who hold most of the stock aren't willing to sell for less than a certain amount, then that's what the shorts will have to pay

But that presupposes not that WSB was big enough to trigger a short squeeze (something that everyone accepts), but that they are big enough to hold the bulk of the capitalization of (at this moment) a $18B company. Needless to say they aren't remotely that big. This isn't happening.

My wife was trying to make us pumpkin pancakes this weekend, ended up an egg short, did a Google search for "egg substitutes" and ended up trying a dollop of mayonnaise, alongside traditional pumpkin spices. Mayonnaise is, after all, just egg and oil with a touch of an acid.

They almost tasted right, until they didn't. There's something about falling into the uncanny valley with foods that makes them more unacceptable than something completely foreign. We both had a good laugh at the mayo-squash-clove patties, and how close, yet so very far away they ended up being from something acceptable for our palates.
I have the opposite opinion. I prefer the entertainment system in my cars because they are not crippled by the network and they understand local media. They also know how to spell the word privacy, unlike Google.
I'm reminded of the stereotypical personality alignment matrix common to role playing games, with lawful and chatic matched to good and evil. Each of to need to strive to sit in the middle, true neutral. In this position one can recognize echo chambers are all around us and one must hop from to the another to gain understanding and sympathy. This would be easy if we mandated the teaching of cognitive and logical fallacies. However, I fear that the powers that be (wealthy, political leaders, and attention grabbing algorithms) intentionally use these against us. Sophistry has long been a weapon of politicians against the plebs and each other. I am at loss on how all of us can transition to a more enlightened state, a state where we don't build walls between us, but recognise the selfishishness and primal fears that lead us against each other. We all suffer from cognitive limitations and fallacies and none of us really know what is the 'correct' opinion on anything. I think if we can agree we all share the same limited stupidity that's the right step go forward.

For people with Ultrasonic humidifiers (which spray the scale across the room as white-dust), it is a much bigger pain to clean that up with regular dusting.

For warm-air humidifiers (aka: boiling water), where all the scale is concentrated onto the heating element: yeah... no big deal. A cup of cheap 5% vinegar and 20-minutes of waiting is all you need to clean that off.

------------

I think if you have RO water, it probably makes sense to use an ultrasonic humidifier.
I really liked Sandstorm’s capability-based security model. Very cool concept for a team app server.
The anxiety from modernity hits different today. We are bombarded with the most realistic forms of imagery ever in human history. What was once a black and white picture in a magazine is now a video in HD.

50-60 years ago you weren't constantly bombarding yourself with people who have more than you. Today, people go on instagram and see the rich living the dreams they'll never be able to attain, despite being told they could do anything in school and by their parents. People watch porn which shows insanely attractive people doing any fantasy imaginable, with no effort on their part.

Their regular lives will never compare with that, they get depressed and anxious seeing how they are nowhere near these people. And then this leads to anger and eventually populism, and it'll eventually lead to war.

Yes. This is completely true if we assume there are no large quantum computers with practical error correction - we probably won't have one in the foreseeable future. But beware that a sufficiently large quantum computer will be able to run Glover's algorithm and reducing the brute-force attempts required from N to sqrt(N), making all 128-bit ciphers be 64-bit and turning 3DES back to DES. And I won't be surprised if it happens within my lifetime. But the solution for symmetric encryption is simple, just use 256-bit ciphers, fast and effective, and many are already in use today. Public-key encryption is the real trouble, many candidates, much higher cost, somewhat untested constructions.
I was diagnosed around age 15 and started taking Concerta. It was life-changing for a while, but it started feeling less helpful over time. I remember feeling like my energy/attention was a zero-sum game, and I had to pay it back at the end of the day.

I was frustrated with these side-effects in college, so I quit the meds as a freshman. I got through college and even a masters degree, but it was a slog. While working at my first "real" job, I felt like I'd hit a brick wall. It was near impossible for me to stay focused during the day. I went back to my doctor and started taking Vyvanse, which I've been on for ~5 years now. This drug has been really amazing, and I don't feel totally sapped at the end of the day. (My layman's understanding is that it's a pro-drug, so your liver has to chop the molecules apart to produce the actual amphetamine. It has a slower ramp-up and ramp-down than the Concerta did.)

One thing to consider is sleep quality. It turns out I had an obstructive sinus blockage for many years. I got it removed surgically and feel amazing. I still take meds to deal with underlying ADHD symptoms, but I could actually be a functioning adult without the meds at this point.
A teaspoon- of bleach or so for 3 gallons of water will solve your mold issue quite handily, even while sitting. It's not enough to smell even when the humidifier is running at full blast. Just enough to kill bacteria and mold.

I'm repeating this advice a lot in this thread, it surprises me it's not better known.
I agree, but I'm reminded of this quote from Ernest Hemingway:
“How did you go bankrupt?”
“Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Massive change due to tech is always just waiting to happen. Here's to hoping it just changes society without destroying it.
One thing should be clear, the "opportunity cost" he has mentioned of making 500k/annual is absolutely not a worry for most people. Even amongst entrepreneurs, a FANG software engineer is a unique cohort.

For almost everyone else the opportunity cost isn't choosing between enormous wealth and entrepreneurship, it is choosing between a mediocre salary and a life under your own control.
If you are sensitive to noise, try the Vornado EVDC lineup. It is smart enough to run the fan at the lowest speed required to maintain the set humidity.
This is very true, but you also don't need a machine gun to wage war. It's just far more efficient at killing people than your homemade bow and arrow.

Tech always provides the tools for destruction but it is those who seek power and wealth with no set limit are those who employ those tools. Greed is worse than fear.

I just bought a (different) honeywell humidifier. so far it works, but not as well as I expected. I hoped it would be able to maintain a somewhat stable humidity for the sake of my guitars, but it can't really keep up with the desiccating power of my central heat. I wonder if part of the issue here is mismatched expectations with evaporative humidifiers?
Good to see a thorough benchmark and a good writeup. Many "tech" sites now just repeat manufacturers press releases. Not Anandtech.
I don't agree that this is the fault of tech at all. Facebook et al are still largely echo chambers, where we see what we have cultivated ourselves to see. Sure, recommendation algorithms show us external things once in a while, but by and large you can cultivate what you see on social media.

The real culprit I believe, has been the incredible hysteria of the legacy media as it joined the social media spaces, and started their race to the bottom for clickbait and outrage porn. Covering inane tweets, and blowing them up to pretend that crackpot points-of-view have more weight and are more common than they truly are. Gotcha gonzo-journalism, that prides "getting them" (whichever group that may be) over informing, and in the process dehumanising large swathes of people for clicks. How you "can't avoid politics, because everything is political". Ravelry, which is a crocheting website, went mad with us-vs-them discussions. Why?

The fault is mainly with legacy media, because they had the credibility and prestige of their history, plus the consistency of their output (daily, weekly, whatever), which they used to spoonfeed poison to large parts of society. How others are "unlike us", and that "they're evil", and oh by the way, "vote for our candidate" who is the some storybook hero we need.

The "two-minutes-of-hate" has come largely from legacy media, and they are responsible for the schisms present right now.
