I'm a Software Engineer living in NYC. My most recent project, Haven (https://haven-secrets.github.io/), is an open-source, centralized secrets manager that protects your application secrets through a combination of encryption, access control, and injection-at-runtime. To build this project, I collaborated remotely with three other engineers, using AWS, Node/NPM, React, and Redux. You can read our case study here: https://haven-secrets.github.io/case-study.
Adderall is not the only medication. Other stimulants are from different families and all of them come in a variety of formulations / dose releasing mechanisms.

There is at least one non-stimulant drug that can be prescribed (atomoxetine), but it doesn't work for a lot of people (including me).

All of my non-mechanical car damage has been either from someone else's driving or while the car was parked. The last one involved a guy who had a seizure at the wheel and barrelled through a red light in a truck. There wasn't any way to avoid it, fortunately it was a light swipe though.

My most expensive repair was in a parking lot where someone scraped and dented the entire side of my car trying to get into a space they really should not have. I'm under the impression most damage to cars happens in parking lots or street parking.

Still, as I wrote above, I still agree that insurance for the car isn't worth it, even though at some points it would have had positive value for me. In the long run it statistically won't.
Same here, I have it literally everywhere, TV, mobile, laptop at home, at work... Thumbs-up guys
GameStop Short Squeeze: The Media Has It Wrong
When you have Google's resources and talent, you probably need a reason not to do these kinds of things. If a product has a decent chance of generating revenue or building out consumer profiles or reaching a new demographic and doesn't undermine the ads business, it has a shot of being pursued.

For gaming, I bet you could make a strong case that Google needs another hook into younger users who will stop using Google search the second their phone changes default search engines. Kind of an insurance policy.

The psychological profiles of users that could be built are also kinda terrifying. Hopefully that's not a part of the business case for Stadia.

Finally there's a case to be made for synergy with Youtube and its efforts to compete with Twitch.
Indeed this is a real step-up to a homemade installation, and it's definitely worth the price. Problem is I'm not in the Apple ecosystem and don't plan to be, and it's all running on a closed source system. There's also been stories about people losing their unique recordings of specific songs, because iTunes Match replaced them with a "standard" recording of the same song.
> Scalability/etc is irrelevant for most use cases anyway.

A lot of comments here are warning about the addictive properties of stimulant medications.

For folks without ADHD, you should know that stimulants, like Ritalin and Adderall, do not usually cause the same response as in non-ADHD people. I've spoken with many people on stimulants, and none of them enjoy taking the medication, beyond what it has done to improve their lives. Furthermore, most ADHD people develop tolerance to medication over long periods of time -- eventually the drug does little-to-nothing itself. For myself, taking even high doses of a Adderall regularly produces no result -- might as well be taking sugar pills. I have to take them periodically (a few times a week at most) to get any sort of benefit.

The proper medication and dosage should not make you feel "high" -- if anything it's almost the opposite. You get some clarity, an ability to direct your focus without a thousand distractions a minute, and perhaps even a sense of time.

I let some non-ADHD friends try a low dose of Ritalin when I had switched off of it and had some left over, and they were bouncing off the fucking walls -- I would strongly not recommend taking stimulants unless medically necessary.

For people with ADHD, they can be truly life saving. For recreational use, avoid.
Very good test. The guys at iracing.com should have done this before organising the e-sports Daytona 24 hours race last week, it was by far their largest event (boosted by Covid lockdown). It crashed their central scheduling service with a database deadlock. Classic case of a bug you only find under heavy load.
There are a dozen other humidifiers they can earn affiliate money through.

I have a low-end "Victsing" model and it works just fine (as evidenced by the hygrometer next to it), and isn't hard to clean. It isn't a complicated device to make.

(I have no affiliation with the manufacturer).
I have not run Windows in any serious capacity in about 12 years, but I don't remember Windows Media Player being that bad, and I thought that Windows now had a license to H264 built in, so I'm actually a bit surprised that a rip wouldn't work. Any idea what the issue was?
Spacex to Launch INSPIRATION4 Mission to Orbit
There are like 700 full time engineers working on it. That's not a side project.
> The problem with Facebook is not that they are using user uploaded content, is that the user has no clue whatsoever the data is being collected by means of tracking actions (likes, time spend on a video...) and cross site tracking and what is going to be used for (Ads, make the site more addictive ?, recommendations?).

I'd say the two biggest questions that outweigh any others are:

Who will access the data?

What will they do with it?

The problem is that few of us know how our data is being used against us. "We will use the latest artificial intelligence methods to convince you that [political issue] is a good thing, since you're just on the other side of the fence."

The key thing you didn't mention is who the data will be sold to. I doubt the extremist nonsense, not related at all to any videos I've watched, creeps into my YouTube recommendations by accident. Who's paying them to generate clicks and viewing hours? What conversion are they attempting with my information? Only one side understands this game. Is there any justification for not having to reveal who paid them for my information or my clicks?
Would love to connect about the product analyst role at some point, applying now!
I'm deeply disappointed in Databricks as an RDBMS.

As a DS/DE, there's a lot to love (not all, but a lot). The easy provision of Spark clusters. The jobs API. DeltaLake (mostly). Easy notebooks (please don't create a prod system from these..). And Spark itself continues to improve, albeit in an increasingly crowded field.

But I've worked closely with BigCo SQL analysts on Azure Databricks, and their experience was terrible. For example:

- You cannot browse the data structure without an active cluster

- Starting a cluster can take ~5 minutes and, since you missed that moment, you may not submit your first query until 10-15 minutes.

- The SQL error messages are often (perhaps usually?) nonsense, so you have to operate without them.

- An unfortunate amount of downtime, followed by bizarre excuses.

- It's so darn slow, relative to equivalent queries on BigQuery or Snowflake.

- Even submitting a query can take a weird amount of time.

If Databricks-as-an-RDBMS were competing against Teradata, sure, let's have a chat.

But we're in 2021, and there's just no comparing the experience of the SQL analyst on Databricks-as-an-RDBMS vs. Snowflake/BigQuery.

I'm excited for the potential of Snowflake's SnowPark (though know little about it). Calling UDFs from SQL means you can create great features for SQL analysts, provided that they can build the momentum to need it.
Seems like anything he touches goes sideways. PS3, Xbox One and now Stadia.
Google sells all of these games on Google Play without any form of "revolt" from their developers. So im not sure where you're getting this idea, other than baseless conjecture
There's more to it than just the screen size. Voice commands work better, phone apps can use the display, plus you can use the smartphone screen for one thing and the built in for another (eg. media player controls on the phone screen and maps on the dashboard screen). It's actually pretty nice.
I have to say it's the kind of impression I get from Terraform. I get the feeling it evolved from a JSON-like syntax to something that has conditionals, then variables, then some form of iteration, then some form of functions, but they are more like macros because the language is declarative... At every stage it seems it was impossible to step back and think it through.
How many large leaks did we have already in 2021 ..
Yeah, I feel like they should have looked how Microsoft more or less lucked out with Bungie producing a killer app for them. [1] Successfully creating a game service requires content, content, and more content.

That said, there's still space for Stadia's infrastructure to compete with Xbox/Azure.

shrimp is usually combined with lemon, or that radish stuff right?

yeah I'd definitely try balsamic, or maybe sour apples, or orange marmalade? Shrimp, mayo, apple is definitely a thing right? Is the cream part required? What about a citrusy balsamic shrimp banana crepe, with a light sugar dusting? ok weird but I'd love to try it
Just to add general interest info to this strain of the conversation: I had to work with Apple in ensuring content for the launch of News+ in Canada after they bought out Next Issue/Texture, and they were very involved and the incentives were substantial.

It makes a real-world difference, there's no doubt about it. Hell, this is why governments issue arts funding. The return has virtually limitless potential in more than just the financial aspects. But it does take commitment, perseverance, and often, patience.
This is why I like android auto / apple car play soo much. The car just becomes the speakers & display for your phone.

AWS. Alternate Web Service. Heh.
Dev to Agency (https://devtoagency.com) - I am writing on how developers can start and run their own custom software agencies. This is from my experience starting, running, and selling my agency over 8 years...

I have never written before this, and not sure if it's something I will after this - but at this stage I need to "get it all out of my head". I don't foresee this being a forever project because ultimately I would have said all I want to say. But at this stage, it feels cathartic :)
Idera acquires API developer Apilayer (known for Caddy Server)
I am sure I read a while ago that there were pipeline projects both via Israel and Turkey?

If that were the case then I'd imagine, the combo of Russia, Turkey and Israel as gas suppliers to Europe would be about as diversified as possible to mitigate geo-political risks.

As far as I know there is no explicit German gas phase-out plan the way there now is for coal [1] and the way there was for nuclear reactors. I think that it was a bad idea for Germany to shut working reactors prematurely. I also think that it was unavoidable for German leadership, given how unpopular nuclear power is with German voters. 81% of polled Germans agreed with the nuclear phase-out as of 2015 [2].

There's a gas phase-out implicit in Germany's 2050 net zero target, but that's not very strong. Other EU members are also theoretically committed to net zero by 2050. I don't know if any of them have committed to earlier dates for eliminating gas specifically.

Technology Connections just recently made a really good video about humidifiers

Trying to figure out why a perfectly logical train of thought like this is getting downvoted
I just got into Planetside 2 and it's everything I wanted it to be.
My only strategy for that problem is to break things down as much as possible into subtasks. That helps because I'm at least more likely to get something done if there's a list of things I can weigh the terribleness of. As the GP comment said that they'd clean their apartment rather than get work done, I'll do the tasks with more clarity to procrastinate doing the tasks with more ambiguity. Eventually, doing the tasks with clarity help clear up the ambiguity in the others.
Given Goog's history on this, I read this announcement as them soft-killing Stadia. They aren't going to admit defeat, but unless they put real resources behind paying people to use it, they aren't going to see any use of it as an API and are effectively mothballing it.
Considering the risks of cyber warfare and attacks that are possible these days I think that it's sensible for a country, any country to be able to disconnect from the internet at the flick of the switch if needed. Russia has just implemented sensible 'cyber defenses', which I hope we also have in the West.
> I never really managed to figure out why people find them so compelling.

This might sound jaded but my feeling is that a lot of developers just looked at JSON objects that they were already working with and thought to themselves "actually, it would be cool to just store this directly".

Which, in itself, isn't a bad idea but writing a completely new solution from scratch to a problem that's been solved for decades seems a bit like hubris.

AFAIK many relational databases support JSON today, so I'm not sure what the argument would be to choose something like MongoDB today from scratch if you had the choice of anything.
Demi | Senior Software Engineer / Engineering Director / Founding Engineer | ONSITE Bay Area or Los Angeles (once COVID-safe), REMOTE for 2021 | Full-time

Demi is a VC-funded startup building an empowering ObGyn care experience.

To say the ObGyn experience today needs attention is an understatement. 3 out of 4 of women in the US are not happy with their care; they are frustrated by the impersonal interactions, loneliness, and inefficient communication cycles, and it’s become clear that the standard care model for other specialties does not work for ObGyn. Demi is an ObGyn that gives women the option to have extraordinary care. We offer a personal connection between doctors and patients, a community-infused care experience, and seamless, tech-enabled care management. See more here: http://www.demiobgyn.com/

We are a team of doctors and builders from Stanford, McKinsey, and tier-1 funded startups driven by a passion to change the way healthcare works. We're just getting started and have had great early traction.

We’re now building an eng team — looking for people that are passionate about health and paradigm-changing consumer experiences, are energized by the challenge we’re taking on, and want to have fun while doing it.

*First, we’re hiring a founding Engineer (backend), ideally somebody who is excited by beautifully built administrative/backend tools. *

Which is actually better, because I and an average Joe D. User at least _expect_ shady apps to be abundant there, despite all Google's efforts to prove otherwise. We exercise care there because we know for a fact Google's approval system is half-automated and full of holes.

On the other hand, the rhetoric Apple's marketing employs all the time suggests the App Store is the Internet Safety Panacea, a risk-free Teletubbyland for everyone. Which is far worse because it entices you to assume it's totally safe and let your guard down.
At least here in Ontario, Canada, cemetery plots are infinite duration, and the land is classified for that purpose forever. There are plenty of little cemetery plots attached to old 19th century churches in downtown Toronto, now surrounded by skyscrapers.

I think it's the same in the USA.

The Case of the Serial Sperm Donor
how do you chat?
I feel like there is a middle ground. At a previous job, a common compliment during my quarterly review was that people thought I was very helpful and a joy to have around the office.

I am the type of person who is helpful to a fault though, and I sometimes end up neglecting myself and my responsibilities in order to help others and make sure they are happy. Later on in that job this tendency to always help others lead to burnout as I tried taking on too many responsibilities at once and spread myself too thin.

Nowadays I still try to be as helpful as possible, but I make sure to not spread myself too thin and take into account my own responsibilities and mental health when deciding to help someone. Even then the answer wont always be a solid no, but sometimes just asking if the issue can wait until I'm at a point in my current work where I can stop and help out.
ARMs rise seems to be almost miraculous considering that I struggle to find any contemporary discussion of it as a serious ISA from back in the day.
Aeneas is used for stretching pre-synced subtitle cue blocks, which is still experimental in subaligner. If durations of cues are correct in you case, there is no need to use this feature and passing in flag -so will switch it off. So why not get rid of stretch and see the difference?

What I know is Aeneas is using DWT which does not guarantee triangle inequality and for low voice or noise, DNN can handle those better with good enough model capacity.

Robinhood Raises $3.4B Amid Growth Surge
This comment strikes me as full of ignorance.

Strict routines? Good diet? Exercise???

Good luck doing any of these if you have even moderate ADHD. It's hard enough getting out of bed.

As a sibling mentions, your description of people who are "drugged" sounds more like people who have undiagnosed-ADHD and are not medicated.

The drugs don't make you drugged -- that's sorta the default state. The drugs make you functional enough to try and develop coping mechanisms in the first place.
