I've been a one man software team & looking to move away from hardware. Comfortable with hardware, meters & scope. I understand the software dev cycle, written requirements documentation, certified as internal iso auditor.
On that subject, as someone that knows nothing about either POWER (or Aarch64), I'm curious if anyone could describe the ways in which they are different?
What's the comparative stimulant power between black tea and coffee?

I've been toying with the notion that I may be having an undiagnosed ADHD for a while now (I've noticed that about 70% of the stuff in any ADHD thread on HN, like this here, tends to reflect my life or at least resonate with me...). I became more confident of that when, at one point recently, I realized - hey, I'm drinking some 10+ cups of black tea every day, and I did that since being single-digit years old. Turns out I may have been unconsciously self-medicating for as long as I remember.

BTW. I suffered from the same type of spiral you described in the past. I've managed to mostly overcome it for now, though I took it from the other end - I've manged to minimize "feeling bad about myself for not completing work that I was generally more than capable of doing", to the point of preventing the positive feedback loop. I wish I could do something about the focus part, though.

Recently graduated computer science major and math major with experience in formal methods research (including paper submission) and experience in an industrial research lab. Also have industrial experience in hardware (sensors for combusting hay bales), (lightweight) full stack (displaying data from live sensors on bridge), and data analysis using Spark on a large manufacturing companies metadata.
There’s a big difference between localisation of ads (which the industry has always achieved) and targeted ads that know you are interested in DIY vs hiring a contractor.

Saving that DIY enthusiast a single modification of their google search is not worth narrowing their entire experience of the web for, or worth giving up their privacy for.

And to OP’s original point. If your business relies on invading the privacy of others, your business should not exist
Point around incentives: We use Dynatrace. I’m sure it’s an eye-watering price but I do like that everyone who wants a license can get one. I don’t have to consider costs to add an entire dev team and teach them how to use it. It also means an entire dev team knows how to use it for future jobs.
I’d love to see numbers if you have them. The idea that hurting bad small businesses is a positive externality is intriguing. I suppose we could hope that, opt-in or not, the move away from easy user tracking could benefit ethical businesses more than what you describe.
Valve only came up with Steam Boxes (and it's whole Linux push for that matter) as a defensive response to the Windows Store and the, at the time very real-seeming, possibility that Windows would become an entirely walled-garden they'd be beholden to. They put much effort into Steam Boxes, they were just a PC with Valve's Ubuntu derivative distro. Fortunately for Linux users though they did continue to put a lot of effort into making Linux gaming actually viable, thus insuring that they'll always have an out if Microsoft goes stupid.
Hard to believe paying engineers to work several months on a fake project is some master pimp move. Why couldn't they find some new project that the company could use? Like a new internal tool or something.
I read this and I'm always so sad someone has had an entirely different and clearly much much worse time in tech than my own. I read through and I can only relate in a little way and in very specific cases to what was written.

I always take a moment afterwards to reflect on why I have potentially avoided what seems like such a common and sad story in tech. We as an industry need to do better, and I'm not sure what that looks like.
As the article briefly touches on, these aren't limited to cooking, but even extend to eating. One weird experience I've had recently is having to explain to friends how to eat Korean food: you pick out individual bites of side dishes from shared containers one at a time, and alternate them with bites of rice. Usually their instinct is to put a bunch of side dishes in their bowls at the beginning of the meal, which is the equivalent of putting the verb before the subject.

Silencing someone who is yelling fire in a crowded theater, when there is an irrefutable lack of a fire, is not censorship.

Since the person is not actually disseminating information, no information is being censored.
That opinion is going to vary drastically from person to person.

I mostly play the same three or four games and have for about a decade. Stuff like KSP and ARMA where save state and modding are extremely important.
Are you sure this isn't just due to habituation? I was diagnosed ADHD in gradeschool and definitely experienced some euphoric side effects when starting on both Ritalin and Adderall. They quickly subsided after a few days/weeks on the medications but my ADHD brain still reacted that way at first. I tried taking Adderall again as an adult for a few months (after a decade being off the drug) and had a similar experience.

"Don't be snarky."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You may have a good point, but for it to be a good comment you would need to drop the snark and engage more specifically with the details of the article. The odds, for example, that the authors don't know about or have thought about git are basically zero.
I stumbled on the name a few days ago and as a matter of fact I still have an `apt install deadbee` in my history but no packages in repositories. Don't remember why I didn't follow through. Ah, yes, the github page had no packaged releases and I missed the sourceforge link.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Enoch Root is a pretty interesting guy. You should read the Baroque Cycle series to get a little bit of his backstory.
The one thing I know to avoid combining with orange juice is strongly smoked salt fish. It changes the taste of orange juice to bitter.
I didn’t see this addressed in other comments, but I thought the music part was interesting.

Fast, driving, intense techno of some sort is a game changer for me in terms of focus. Not a replacement for medication, but a useful tool with or without.

I also find bright, flashing lights useful for focus. Think those cheap led bulbs which a prism and motor. I think expensive night club versions would be better, but I’m not willing to drop $100s to find out.

I think I might just need stimulation in all forms - visual, audible, physical, chemical - to be at my best.

Anyone else experience that?
I’m sorry, but Trillian? That seems like a pretty major name collision with a well known piece of software that has been around for decades and has zero chance of getting displaced in search rankings lol
> The report reads like a textbook example of cherry picking data and surveys to suit their agenda.

Can you elaborate on this? How did you come to that conclusion? Cherry picking, publication bias and so on, are not self-evident but need to be proven. It's not like logical fallacies.

> Similarly, the ads for someone interested in DIY vs someone who is happy to pay for skilled labor are drastically different when you search “drywall repair”.

Google doesn't need to "Track and target" me personally to know that a web request I make comes from a specific location. Knowing I bought cycling shorts last week isn't going to increase the relevance of that search. Likewise, the reverse is true.

FWIW, have you tried searching for something like Drywall repair? Google's results for that type of search are almost identical to what you get on DDG, you just have to scroll past a page of Google garbage first.

Also... it's not too tremendously difficult to type "Drywall repair in Hoboken NY", that's what I do by default regardless.
Hi, creator here.

Stuck in lockdown, I wanted to hack on something fresh so I created a blogging app (yay originality!) for my personal sites which had languished, gathering dust as they often do. I really enjoyed building it (Ruby on Rails, if you wondered), I learned a lot. It turns out I also really like using the app, and I've actually blogged a lot more since I built it.

I hadn't planned to 'commercialise' it at all because I figured not many people in 2021 want to pay cash money for a basic (albeit intentionally!) blogging app, and B2C is generally a tough place to live.

Despite knowing better we got locked down again so I built a marketing page and I thought I might as well ask the Hacker News massive what they think of it before I inevitably turn it off. Is old-school blogging dead? Shall we try and resuscitate it? You tell me.

Go forth and roast me - I can take it! :-)
For sure, I'm definitely not claiming they're the same dish, absolutely the concept of spaghetti and meatballs has evolved from whatever it's original origins were.

I guess my overall point is that I think the author is overstating the strictness of these rules, even in famously rigid traditions like Italy. Changing food around as it is shared and moves between cultures isn't a uniquely American or even modern thing, it's been happening for ages and a whole lot of traditional foods have been heavily influenced by other cultures.

Also super nitpicky but most folks in north america would incorporate the sauce in spaghetti and meatballs before serving, the whole sauce on top thing is mostly relegated to grandparents and betty crocker recipes - I'm sure a not small part of the reason for that is people rediscovering italian techniques though.
True, and I know that a famous verilog simulator was sold to a chinese company as a _single_ license... lol !
But without support, especially as you go down the rabbit hole of prototyping/emulation, they won't compete. They know it and that's why China is building a complete set of verification and design tool of their own.
It will take a while to catch up though...
and to checkout the product you had to login.

Nope.

after this comments, I removed login requirement

Yep.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? By enforcing a 'login to check the product' you make it seem like a scam; that the product has no intrinsic worth; that it will not be able to stand or fall on its own merits.

Old saying: "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door."
That's a good way of putting it, but I would avoid pinning this on "regulated industry"

Rather, in good engineering practice the design and process, etc. is part of the product. Regulated industries just put some expectations on what that means. This can be done well or poorly, but it's basically the intent.

Don't read that the wrong way; I don't think every product benefits enough from good engineering practice to make it worthwhile - it certainly adds some friction and makes even "fast iteration" slower. On the other hand, it's absolutely the right way to approach things with high stakes for failures.

In the way that those are apps that gamers install on their gaming pc.
Maybe I'm missing something, but there is already the term "append only logs" which we use everywhere. How is this different from append only logs? Append only logs rely on cryptography to make the history transparent too. I skimmed through the website but couldn't find a distinction.

Also, the website format is kinda weird. As I reach the bottom of the page, it looks like this is a promotional site for Trillian. Maybe the confusion comes from here. What is this site really about?
I reformatted this comment as found poetry on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/overheard-hacker-news-kafkaes...

I interpreted it as s,condone,condemn, (i.e. "would not condemn") or something similar. What leads me to think this is that she said "I do not recommend any illegal substances but ..." (emphasis mine).
My personal experience was that dextroamphetamine helped my (pretty severe) social anxiety by calming me. I don't know if I'd call it "partying", but I've functioned much better at social gatherings when taking therapeutic doses of it.

I've been considering trying to get a prescription for years, but I don't present most typical symptoms of ADD (maybe some inattentive ones?) so I suspect psychiatrists would be reluctant and just try to get me onto SSRIs, which have done nothing for me.

It really depends on your API clients and your latency.
Celery is fine for long running or batching, the queue and the fact you need to store and retrieve the results from somewhere else isn't really ideal.
Non blocking events loops (and reactive requests) really like small tasks and even scream at you if you are above their thresholds.

Honestly I see a bright future for apache arrow flight but I think It's a bit immature right now.

But my main points is that 80% of the blog posts about FastAPI are for machine learning and people will just copy the code, run one or 2 requests see that it's fine and move along...
FWIW, I paid for and played RDR2, AC Odyssey and Valhalla on Stadia, and thoroughly enjoyed them both, on my outdated laptop. I'm old enough not to worry about microsecond lag, as my reaction times are by far the biggest factor.
I'd be sad if Stadia was eventually shuttered, but I haven't invested a significant amount of money, compared to building a rig, and have no intention of replaying games that I've already run through.

I tote the hardware software boundary. Embedded, kernel, userspace, web, whatever. I just like to write code and solve problems.
I think part of the problem is: I'm well ensconced in a position I could finish my career in, about 10 years from now. It's well paid, the people are great, but I'm trying to figure out how I stay relevant to them as the things I was doing I won't be doing anymore (because the machinery is in the cloud.) And I'm feeling all the things those people must have felt when they changed careers. Don't think I want to change careers, though.

I think part of it is recognizing where I'm at, and not poisoning things with the wrong attitude (be it fear, complacency, or annoyance.) If it were 10 years ago, I'd go get a different job. 10 years from now, I'd retire.
Person A can only sell the number of shares they've borrowed. If Person A borrows a share from Person C, they can sell that one share only. To sell more without borrowing additional shares would be naked shorting, which is prohibited.

You might be asking instead about the following scenario, though, where a single share is borrowed and sold short multiple times:

Person A borrows from Person C and sells to Person B

Person D borrows from Person B and sells it to Person E

Well, the covering of the shorts doesn't have to happen in an atomic transaction; there are thousands to millions of trades of a single ticker every day. Just as a single share can create a chain of multiple shorts (borrows and sales), a single share can cover multiple shorts too through a chain of trades.
The Spy in Your Phone – Al Jazeera World
Understood. I suspect that Arm was a bit too off the mainstream for teaching (why talk about Thumb / Jazelle etc?).

Plus probably better to teach for an architecture that had the performance cachet and where you could get some desktop machines.
Building successful platforms isn't about engineering - many well-engineered platforms were market failures.

You have to enable third parties to be successful. Steve Yegge's Google platform rant[0] discusses this topic in detail.

If your platform isn't popular then you need to provide incentives for developers to target it.

"Each of the people we spoke with, who asked to be granted anonymity due to ongoing employment in the video game industry, echoed this sentiment — and said Google simply wasn't offering enough money, in addition to several other concerns." [1]

The interviewed developers also have doubts about whether Stadia has a future.

"This concern — that Google might just give up on Stadia at some point and kill the service, as it has done with so many other services over the years — was repeatedly brought up, unprompted, by every person we spoke with for this piece." [1]

> Ignore the people screaming about Adderall being "literal meth"

Just a fun fact: Literal meth is called deoxyephedrine when it's prescribed for ADHD. Anyone that was awake for intro Chem will know why.
I got diagnosed as an adult and it was life changing for me, has been on them for 5 years. Here are some tips:

1. Never take stimulants to have fun, just take them to do tasks to progress your life. ADHD doesn't prevent you from having fun, and having fun with stimulants is what makes them addictive.

2. Take regular breaks from the medication. You wont get much done the first day or two after, so don't plan on doing anything except stay at home and procrastinate those days since your inattentive symptoms will be worse than usual.

3. Sometimes try to do tasks without medication. Having worse focus helps in some way since it means you must master a topic much more before you can complete the task. My guess is that many of the PRO's of ADHD comes from this, since it means instead of just completing a task and moving on you have been forced to master the subject way more than other people with similar grades/achievements. Think of two people with similar grades, one worked hard and did lots of practice problems while the other was lazy and never worked. Who do you think understands things better? What do you think happens if the lazy guy suddenly puts in the effort? That is what happens with ADHD medication.
Google isn't cancelling Stadia; they're just not making their own games.
Basic security best-practices for your web app and server
I just read your whole journey since quitting google and it was very inspiring, thank you :) Glad to hear you still feel like it was the right choice.
I am now where you were 3 years ago: I just quit my well-paid SWE job without any concrete backup plan and all I have been dreaming of for years is being an entrepreneur.
It either happens now when I'm still young, or never, I figured.

However, I am still quite unsure how to actually get the ball rolling.
My current game plan is to just brainstorm for a week or so and then start building the best idea I came up with during that week, then give myself a release deadline of one month for an MVP and see if I can raise some interest.

But after reading the paragraph about ideas[1] I am not sure anymore if this is a smart approach or not...
What do you think, what's the best thing to do to get to that initial spark?

> I sort of get it about reader. It had ways been a high maintenance product with many liability issues and ultimately proven difficult to monetise. Not to mention feed aggregators as a whole has been in decline since so the demand is probably not even there.

None of those assertions match the public history: they rejected attempts to monetize Reader, it wasn't getting much (if any) maintenance time, and the decline in demand was in no small part due to Google's decision to kill the most popular product in that space hoping to boost Google+, providing no counterbalance to Facebook's attempt to lock up the syndication market.

Gmail and Maps will not be cancelled because those sell a ton of advertising data. The Google products to worry about are the ones which don't funnel data into their ad system.
