There is no substitute for medication. For me a life without medication is a life of hating myself for not being able to do trivial things.

I tried all of those things you mentioned for over a decade and was often driven to tears trying to do simple things. I never did assignments for courses etc, causing some of my grades to stay bad even though I did great on the tests since tests kicks up your adrenaline making it easier to focus. Not because I didn't care about the grades but because I simply couldn't do the assignments. Then I got medication and suddenly everything in college and later work just became trivial. I stay on the lowest dosage and that is still enough for me to stay at normal levels of focus where I can program for a few hours a day when I need to do it to keep my job and earn money.

So, since medication has been so life changing for me I really hate when people say that you can manage ADHD symptoms just with lifestyle changes. Maybe in some cases, but many people absolutely need medication and discouraging such people from receiving it will ruin lives.

This is the claim that requires backing up.

Since offering emails in base64 form is not usually done, I consider it pretty unlikely that bots have been specially modified to go around checking everything which looks like base64 to check whether them codes have an email inside.

If you don't want people to be insulting, maybe you should think through your arguments more carefully before treating someone else like the idiot.
Stadia needs low latency to a Google DC. There are plenty of such DCs in the US and Europe, but not in NZ.
IANAL, but it looks to me that the text of the law doesn’t differentiate between dried mushrooms that contain psilocybin, and pure psilocybin of the same weight.

> (B) Twelve grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of psilocybin or psilocin.

http://oregonvotes.org/irr/2020/044text.pdf

I wouldn’t bet on that actually holding up in court. 12g of pure psilocybin is about 600 doses, which a judge may determine is illegal based on the intent of the law.
I still have nostalgia for OpenVMS. One of the first multi-user systems I worked on was a VAX! I bought an AlphaStation off of ebay a few years back and boot up VMS now and then.

Interesting. I do agree 62304 seems to mostly codify what we would consider best software principles anyway.

Your statement about 14971 being the big shift in thinking is interesting. With a bit of clinical context, do you think developers can write code with risk management in mind?
Winter in a house with a forced-air heating system just makes everything far worse. If you have the opportunity and the means, you want to go with a boiler, radiant in-floor heat, etc. Anything but forced-air.

By the way, in the winter we almost never use the dryer when washing clothes - always hang them up and they dry quickly and add their moisture to the air. We also open the dishwasher door as soon as it finishes and let the moisture evaporate into the air. Etc.
I think this just reinforces the fact that Google isn't a content company. They aren't producing video games for the same reason that Cobra Kai is now a Netflix production. Google doesn't have what it takes to adapt to a new market and actually adapt. Can I view the exact pixel your eye browses to whilst playing a video game and use that to sell you incontinence pads? No. Well then Google isn't interested. This is unfortunate, because this is exactly what killed Intel. Funneling tonnes of cash into businesses they didn't understand and then failed in because they had no idea how they were going to capture any more value from their core market that share holders had already accounted for.

You mentioned agriculture as an avenue, but I'm already aware of farmers using drones for such tasks. Also importantly, it can be done on the farmers' timescale, rather than the last time a satellite was overhead.

They monitor all sorts of things, soil wetness, crop/weed growth, weed identification, cattle location (they used to use helicopters here in Oz for such things)...

The 2008-2017 period was great for PC gaming. Now graphics cards alone cost as much or more than an entire console. The prices only seem to go up. Game streaming has the opportunity to dramatically decrease costs. I think it will work.
Just to confirm, you are correct, it works on almost any mass-market headset (probably on all headsets period, but I cannot verify that myself).

So far, I can confirm for a fact it works on HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift S, and Oculus Quest 1/2 (in wired mode connected to PC, just like the other headsets, or using VR Desktop for wireless; I tried both and stuck to playing it with wireless).

I'm thinking feeling 'not as sharp' is exacerbating the growing skills gap. There's ALWAYS been stuff I didn't know, It's just that now that seems to be accelerating and I'm not as well equipped to handle it.

Doubly so where security is concerned. You used to secure something by knowing all aspects of the application...you knew the OS, the software, the firewall rules, you had a small batch of logs you could conceivably review.

Now it's fully automated and just....goes. A deceptively small action produces a substantial result, 99% of it being abstracted away.
I'm in my 40s and have suffered with undiagnosed ADHD my entire life.

Two days after I suspected I had it I saw my doctor. One month later I was on medication. A few more months and I am in weekly counselling. For me personally, the positive changes from medication and counseling have been dramatic and immediate.

After only 4 months, my coworkers impression of me is starting to shift for the better.

ADHD is a serious mental illness. I'm so thankful that the help I'm getting is working.

"Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" by Barkley, helped me understand ADHD and how I should deal with it.
Unfortunately, these long timelines slip or the project is abandoned when a new administration comes in. If the next mayor continues the plan, it might have some legs.

Yes, if they have a known vulnerability in the wild in a currently-supported product, the rest is just details.

Tangentially, I wonder: has anyone built a friendly browse/search interface for all-time CVE data [0]? This makes me curious about what the history of SQL injection vulnerability discovery looks like.

I admit that I liked the live action _Cinderella_ better than the animated version, but that's because the director made it different. In fact, I would have been okay if he had removed the mice entirely.

Oh, and it's a film where the phrase "Every Frame a Painting" [1] is very true. Nearly every frame looks like a Baroque painting, and it's gorgeous.

Other than that, yeah, Disney screwed up the live action versions.

I have seen several deployments of Databricks (including first hand experience) and... most use cases could be better served by Postgres (or Redshift, Athena, Snowflake for larger scale). It has honestly been such an overkill for so many workloads, it was quite astonishing. I've seen people move from Excel to Spark... to handle the same volume of data. That's obviously not Databricks' fault, but their PR is pretty much "please do all your data work in our product, it's well suited for it".

Yes, it's very good if you don't like setting up clusters (few do/can) and the UI is rather useful for getting up and running (not so much for writing code though). But you need to really understand the platform before adopting it. Please, please don't just adopt it because it's popular.
Madden isn’t available on GeForce Now apparently, but besides that I don’t think you’ve explained why Stadia is better. On Stadia and GeForce Now, you pay a subscription fee and pay for the game. Is it something about the Stadia hardware that makes it better?
Sure, there's plenty of opportunity there, and a little pressure to manage. I don't want to manage. That would take the last little bit of technical enjoyment and remove it completely. That doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, email and IM do have a lot in common -- in particular, XMPP is best visualized as an IMAP-like client/server protocol plus an SMTP-like server/server protocol that both share an XML schema (ugh) for describing the messages akin to how MIME (another ugh) functions for email.

As another commenter has pointed out, Delta.chat shows just how closely an email client can mimic the chat/IM interface.

Physical systems are probabilistic. Environmental conditions are probabilistic. And we've been trusting our safety to physical products operating in the real world for a long time.

Whether physical or ML or whatever ... There's always some process that you can't characterize to your liking. So you explore mitigation options until you can make a decision about whether to accept the risk. Standards and regulations enforce that you went through those steps to get a reasonably trustworthy result.

Then liability law applies in the usual way. Actuaries and accountants tell you what it's going to cost you, and market research tells you how much it might sell for.

Inability to control or understand what you built doesn't absolve you of any fault or responsibility. All it does is change your risk acceptance criteria.
Horrible. How did that end or is it still ongoing?

I also just boil water. It's easy to adjust the rate of evaporation. For night time I lower the fire to its lowest setting, and if needed I just use multiple pots. Over night at lowest setting only half the pot is boiled away.
Legalization probably increases the user base somewhat. But does it increase negative outcomes? The evidence is already in: the legalization of alcohol after the 1930s definitely improved outcomes.
Oops, did this on my phone and meant to edit on laptop immediately. Too late now. Here it is:

I have verified that indeed case counts by PCR correlate with hospitalizations and death. It’s a good indicator.

I am, however, puzzled by the refusal of testing facilities to actually disclose what cycle count they are using. It could be too high, it could be too low, it’s likely “just right”. But “trust me I am doing it right” is the wrong answer to someone who hasn’t yet made up their mind.

I remember 'back in the day' anytime I would set up a friends PC I would go and download the latest version of "K-Lite Codec Pack Mega". And one day a friend told me about VLC and it changed my life (from a media-player standpoint).

Thank you VLC!!
I really wouldn't consider LTCM an example of YOLO trades.
With Traefik it’s just setting up the config and any authentication. After that Traefik will manage the lifecycle of the cert.
Yes. Stadia does not assume you know how to use a gaming PC. Steam and Epic might be fine if you already know what those things are. If you don't, it is far too complex. Billions of people understand the simple app store model that comes with their phone. It's the one stadia uses.
Agreed. The standards are designed to be impervious to time and the implementations used. This has the unfortunate consequence of being quite abstract and difficult to grasp at first.

For example "configuration management" was meaningless the first time I read it but really just translates to "version control"

I think having an open source example will really help the concepts make sense to engineers implementing this for the first time.
In your example of steak, there are macroeconomic changes which may well cause the specific commodity to change in price substantially over time. Inflation isn't determined as a function of "steak" but rather as a function of "protein."

For instance, industrial agriculture, the farm bill subsidizing corn to below the cost of production starting in 1933, and many other things may change the relative cost of beef over time as compared to, for instance, pork and chicken. That's not inflation, and as such it doesn't really make sense to define inflation in terms of these factors which affect only a specific industry.
I have enormous respect for VLC and what it brought to video in general. But, recently I have been using mpv because I love how snappy it is, especially when seeking with the mouse wheel.
Hey there, in a previous life, I led the team that built the "new" webhook delivery system at Shopify (now 2+ years old).

A few notes / questions:

1. How do you deal with endpoints that are down or 500'ing? I saw "Smart Retry", but it doesn't say what kind of retry policy or backoff occurs. Related, how do you notify clients when their endpoints are having trouble? (I ask because that's PII that I then have to share with you).

2. Is there support for message signing (e.g., HMAC) to let clients verify that the webhook really came from us? How does it work?

3. Any kind of deduplication support? One use case we had was that certain webhooks only required the latest delivery. e.g., product inventory. If we previously failed to deliver a webhook, but have a newer version pending, our next attempt should try to send the newest version.

4. Is it possible to delay hydrating data in the payload? It seems the expected usage is that I send a blob of data and you take care of the last mile and send it. Is it possible to send you an id and then you call back to my service and fetch the latest version of that object just before delivery?

5. How are webhook subscriptions actually managed? e.g., my app lets users register webhook URLs? How do I get those URLs to your service?

6. The big question: What do I do if your service is down?

Congrats on the launch. 100% agree there are a lot of requirements in building a decent webhook delivery system. HootSuite covered a lot of them in their blog post from a few years back:

Ask HN: Would you pay to effectively validate your ideas?
Description: We're building a platform that helps startup founders test if their idea is potentially profitable. Founders communicate with our AI (Valii) about their startup idea, using that information, we create a preorder page and advertise it. Potential customers for the idea can then place a preorder. https://valii.co/

More details: We're almost done with the MVP, aiming for 12th Feb. For the MVP we are excluding the advertising feature and the AI integration. We are instead simulating the AI experience by asking detailed questions and using it to generate the preorder page. We believe the major feature is the preorder validation. Finally you only receive the money for your preorders a few days after you launch, to give your customers a bit of time to confirm their satisfaction with your product/service.

Is this a service you would pay for and why? Any feedback is appreciated!
> you're trying to portray it as if they waited until it was "justified" to do it

No, I'm talking about how things stand right now. I've been disgusted by the position of these MITMs for well over a decade, but with the current state of affairs it seems that such censorship is inevitable. I can think of few better ways to get congresscritters to act than by threatening their own personal safety, such as the result of this months long disinformation campaign about "election irregularities".

> they will come up with fake stories to justify murdering millions of people in a new war and you'll get silenced and get smeared as a fascist if you try to question it

So then, the same as it's always been? But let us not confuse speaking truth to power, with speaking disinformation to authority. While there is no oracle that can discern between the two, we hope that the former slowly grows (eg many more people now see Iraq for the mistake it was than in 2003) and the latter fades out due to scrutiny. Present disinformation campaigns don't seem to be fading though, causing instability that triggers the power structure's immune system.

I'm not terribly worried for actual Free communications though. Surveillance Valley was always going to eat itself one way or another.
Google is REALLY bad at marketing. I have no idea who runs their product teams, must be college interns, because they have no clear goal.

Stadia still is missing basic features like pagination or searching, but the EXPERIENCE is great. I don't know why you are having issues, but Hitman 2+3 work amazing for me with the stadia controller. 60fps, 4k, etc.

They also have Ubisoft+ integration and with this news they seem to be pushing for more integrations like that which will make the platform even better.

Twitch will never be on Stadia as they compete with Youtube Gaming, which has direct integration with Stadia.

My completely ignorant theory is that it's still about "can only do the things I really like to do" part of ADHD. I also like to clean up my place because of the sense of accomplishment that it gives me (especially when at work I don't feel like I'm making progress because I spent all day coaching/meetings/etc) but not everyone might feel like that, I can definitely think of someone with ADHD that doesn't like to clean up the same way I don't like plan my meals (please don't make me do it).
