First, I really appreciate that you're opening up about your life. It's not easy to do, even with strangers on the web.

> It's either, take that pill and turn into a robot, or...

Might I suggest you think of it this way: Take that pill and realize my enlightened self or try to love myself in spite of my chemical imbalance in the brain.

> can't even summarize without writing a wall of text...

Although I'm not currently taking my advice here. Might I suggest that if you JOURNAL your personal thoughts, it's really helpful to realizing what you're trying to say to yourself. There is nothing wrong with a wall of text, even for summaries. I found that journaling was a great way for 'someone to listen to my random rapid thoughts'. (Note: This doesn't need to be everyday, nor some big burden. Just do it as often as you think about it and for as long as you desire in any given moment :D This will pay dividends for your awareness in just a few months of sporadic posts, even without the meds)

> But I wasn't hungry, it made me apathetic and my creativity went away.

Hmm. I'd suggest you try a different medication. There are multiple meds that help with this. (spelling probably wrong) Modfinil, Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Dexadrine, etc

I've tried them all and honestly, if I was able to, I'd want a few different meds, at different dosages because I know it would be a better combination for me than just one med. Ritalin is a non-starter for me, the side effects are too serious. Vyvanse and Modfinil were 'gentle' but not aggressive enough on my symptoms (no side effects but maxing out the dosage still felt too little of a positive effect on me). Dexadrine worked with another med I was taking (prozac) but I wouldn't 'get things' done as efficient. Then I changed my other med to Wellbutrin (a better depression med, imho, super cheap too) and Adderall worked perfectly in concert with it (this is now affordable for out of pocket care in the USA). [Note: This is my personal experience. This paragraph is over 2 years of trial and error. Some things worked for a few months but didn't actually work, after some introspection. Try things and be aware of what's happening to your body. My situation is unique to me, yours will be different but try to understand your situation better]

Finding the right meds, for your unique biochemical makeup, is a very large task. Most doctors aren't as detailed and provide a Bespoke service. Try to give yourself a Bespoke level of care. Do it with the counsel of a doctor, many doctors will be okay with this because you're under their care and they tend to only put in the level of effort that you request. So, talk with them and try to find something better for yourself. It make take years but realize, being on some meds, you're learning about yourself and you're making progress on what you want (not what capitalism demands).
Sorry guys, my bluehost site crashed here is my vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d2bB1PfSTI
Nope. They were pretty vague about why they did it:

"We continuously monitor the markets and make changes where necessary. In light of recent volatility, we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only." The statement, which was posted on Robinhood's websiteand sent via email to its millions of users, also went on to say, "Amid significant market volatility, it's important as ever that we help customers stay informed."

https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/buying-stocks/articles/why-d...

A lot of people in finance said they should have said they didn't have the capital to cover these positions instead of what they did say. I'm pretty sure they would've faced the same rage mob regardless of what they said - it was what they did that got people so fired up.

Here's the full statement from their site:

> you've got to listen to the feedback.

Feedback is always nice and wonderful if people freely provide it, but I don't see - especially in light of this Ask HN topic - why one 'has to' listen to it? Or to 'complaints' for that matter, on someone's pet OSS project. Sure, it might be prudent to listen, but it is totally up to the maintainer to do so or not.
I share your disdain for "Software Architects." I'm curious on your reasoning though. Can you expand on why you hold disdain for "Software Architects"?
Conspiracy claims are from people who have no idea how financial market works, and just bought their first stock last week, because of the hype.

It’s like someone buying their first computer, and saying it’s government conspiracy that it crashed, after they’ve installed random software from a link they got in spam.
A smart fintech platform would allow customers to post their own cash collateral. For every $1 you trade you need $2.50 in cash in your account, which we sweep at the end of the day.
I ran across it ages ago. I think you could use something like GNU Stow to achieve the same thing unless I am missing something. You install programs to ~/.local/pkg, then you link it to ~/.local/{bin,etc,include,lib,man,share,var}. Unless of course it is an Electron app.

I use zpkg to handle this, it has been made specifically for this use case.

Russian Activist Navalny Sentenced to More Than 2 Years in Prison
And you know that he "caught" Covid-19 _weeks_ after starting medication to treat pneumonia, which is why he wasn't vaccinated despite being high-risk, right?
Fauci has lied to us twice now (that we know of). Mask efficacy was the first one. More recently, he's changed his story on required levels for herd immunity. He's raised that higher than the normal model would tell us, so I suspect that he was telling the truth before and now he's lying, but even if I'm wrong, it means he was lying before and has confessed now.
yes the WSB ambience right now is VERY Qanon-feeling
After GME, there's been lots of other pumps in stock and crypto. AMC, KOSS, all the most shorted stocks. DOGE and XRP in crypto.
> Only, cloth masks _haven't_ caused massive damage, or even any damage.

I think you replied to the wrong comment/comment chain, it said nothing even ballpark like that. The word "damage" doesn't appear in the comment chain aside from this comment.

> Are cloth masks useless "theater"?

Again, this wasn't something anyone in the comment chain claimed.

> However, it is perfectly applicable when aimed at the "this is useless" part.

That quote is a fabrication. The word "useless" doesn't even appear in this comment chain aside from this post/quote.

So when you're creating fake quotes and making multiple baseless claims (quite literally putting in words/quotes that don't exist), it is the epitome of disingenuous.
An X11 presented app having DPI issues not solved by copying that up through XWayland (X11) is not a lose on Wayland's part but the apps working with multi-monitor fractional DPI awareness on Wayland are definitely wins.

The aforementioned workaround would make some X11 use cases work but not all, because X11 has no way to do multi-monitor fractional DPI awareness without rescaling so there is only so much hack workaround you can do in the meantime.

But there's no need to rush users to it just because it can work. IMO let Electron and whatnot get updated in the meantime so it's a smoother transition.
Not really, they still want to profit, I figured the money I spent on GME was a 100% loss just for lulz.
iPhone update lets Apple Watch users unlock Face ID in a facemask
Maybe not a conspiracy, but surely a fix. "the DTC has enforced an increase of capital requirements by 250% upon DriveWealth’s clearing partners" .. Why for just these two stocks and is this true for all of the Hedge Funds? Do they now need to magically provide guaranteed liquidity? This is a circle the wagons moment for Wall St. They don't want anyone messing up their printing press. Who will watch the watchers? no one (see 2008)
Maybe if you stopped baselessly accusing me of all sorts of random shit, I would be more willing to listen to what your project has to say.
From my perspective, one of my friends daily posts idiotic, factless garbage in our discord. He doesn't trade stocks but reads Reddit religiously. He constantly says he has no investment in either side but what do I think about (Citadel blackmailing Robinhood or some such garbage). I am thoroughly convinced that if he weren't currently jobless and lacking bonus money, he would've bought GME at 300, thinking it was going to the moon.

I think the core issue is, there is a significant number of people who only get their news from what is upvoted on Reddit, and what is upvoted on Reddit not only has no correlation with actuality, factuality, or reality, it also follows a lot of really nasty biases due to the upvote system. For example, another chat I'm in with a lot of Europeans had this one Portuguese guy last March posting daily fear mongering about the US burning down from Covid. I finally figured out after a week of it that all his headlines were coming from the Covid subreddit. I went and looked, the top 80 stories were all US based. No mention of Italy, Spain, UK, or any other European countries who were having similar rates at the time. I'm not convinced this guy even realized Covid existed in Europe at the time.

The moral of the story is, if you're going to try to form an opinion on something you know nothing about, you NEED to consider at least 2 different positions, and a lot of these people who fell into the conspiracy trap only considered 1. (And yes, even though Reddit is an aggregator, it is just 1 source).
If you look up roaring kitty on yt, you can see his thesis on gamestop atleat 6 months back, he bought in I think in 2019. The stock was more valuable than the price on a fundamental level then caught some huge investors, board change, better than expected sales due to the console cycle.

The analysts were also not understanding its potential and probably misunderstood greater online sales revenue as moving away from physical disk instead of just a huge growth of free games with in game transactions adding a larger share to the gaming revenue pie.
I'll add another one, don't openly confront the CTO.

Basic things what you should learn at your first job somehow get lost upon experienced software engineers.
I don’t really get the advantage of RH or Revolut compared to Fidelity or Vanguard. I mean in terms of UI/UX, the Fidelity app is on par to RH (maybe RH is slightly better). Why not trade using a company that is more reliable and trustworthy?
Alexei Navalny sentenced to 3.5 years in prison for violating probation
> California rolls are not a thing in Japan

Yes, my understanding is that the california rolls were an adaptation based on the fact that that americans at the time were not used to the idea of eating raw fish, and that avocados are much more readily available in the US.

I hear that the original style of sushi from Japan also carries with it a culture of training strictness/technique/meticulousness similar to french classical training culture, whereas the north american fusion sushi style puts a lot more emphasis on creativity.

Yeah, can't imagine how we would be able to do this without Cloudflare Workers honestly... It's a crazy powerful tool. As for Apps - I'm not sure I got your question but Apps they are mostly wrappers around other tools, so when we launch a self-onboard process we would definitely consider offering an CF App for easier onboarding. But really, it's not a big difference to our customers because all they need to do is add our one line script. If you meant why use Zaraz to load these tools and not Cloudflare Apps - that's simply because Cloudflare Apps still pushes those scripts into the page and slows it down.
I don’t have much knowledge on the low-level intricacies of CPUs, could someone please answer a question of mine?
There is an older, famous post titled something like “C is not a low-level language”, and relatedly one that assembly itself is not all that low-level today.

I do now almost nothing about the state of today’s CPUs, only that they are extensively complex with long pipelines and that branch prediction is a thing. Also, several layers of caches. x86 on top is almost only an API which frees the hardware engineers from backward compatibility, since these intricacies are programmed by microcodes that are not really accessible to general software.

My question is, wouldn’t a “dumber” processor be better with a more expressive “API”, with instructions like prefetch, some form of parallelism (so that pipelines can be created with machine code and not just heuristics), since it is probably easier and better to branch predict in software than in hardware? In a way current processors sort of JIT compile assembly to some hardware-native form, but if those hardware-level tools were accessible to software, software could do much much better optimizations and bugs could be patched.
All UIs are clunky in some way or another.
Most people are just happy to accept it once they’ve learned it.

I'll try this out, thanks. Never gave it real thought and have always tried to somehow organize my documentation. Maybe this will get it right.

The collateral obligations to run a brokerage are a real thing and these under capitalized brokerages are messing with the market.

There's a reason the big boys trade through the prime brokerage. The carpet got pulled out from under the Robinhood because there's a game going on that they didn't even know they were in.

Robinhood meanwhile is collecting fat lending fees for lending out the GME shares all their "diamond hands" members are holding.

Normally I'd choose the "simplest possible explanation" which is the government is slow, wasteful, and terrible at everything.

But I'm not actually sure Elon yelling "YOLO LEEROY" and hitting the big red button isn't that much more out of the range of possibilities. One would think there would be some internal noise inside SpaceX though, like somewhere an engineer is like "yeah, I'm not sure we should disobey a direct government order".

How did you get around the minor calendrical errors (e.g. Quirinius being appointed before Herod's death) and the idea that the Gospels are secondhand? These were showstoppers for my belief as a teenager, and they're still showstoppers today in my adult life.
I agree that the glut of electron apps is becoming a problem.

I disagree that Apple redesigning UIs to focus on content instead of chrome has improved usability. I'm thinking of 'style over substance' changes like hiding scrollbars, and making menus and menubars translucent. Those changes hurt usability.
Correct, which is why I'm amused and not upset and will happily continue using my aged-but-working software. I'm also a horrible evil 𝓷ᴠɪᴅɪᴀ user because I need CUDA for a lot of my work :)
Other than ancient compatibility purposes, does the big plug actually offer any better listening experience?
this is sort of exactly my point but inverse - X windows is awesome on a lan & due to the 'native' support for individual applications, but there is definately huge room for improvement w/r/t display protocol performance / latency issues which are largely a result of relying on X server drawing architecture

> unless it is for the purpose of reducing discrimination against marginalized groups

Everyone invested in identity politics considers the group he most identifies with as marginalized, and he can always cherry pick the appropriate statistics to show it, as every group indeed is marginalized depending on what one chooses to investigate and consider, and who is to decide what matters more?

The Jew will cite historical events, and conveniently ignore capital possessions; the male will cite workplace deaths, and conveniently ignore political holding; the female will cite income inæqualiy, and conveniently ignore criminal sentencing; the child will cite lack of suffrage, and conveniently ignore lack of criminal culpability before the law, — and so forth, and so forth.

Whom the courts agree with does not seem to be based on evidence but simply subjective opinions.

Only because we haven't done all the studies to prove the vaccines work.

Vaccines safe for adults are pretty much all safe for children. However the children generally need different doses from adults so work is needed to figure out the correct dose. A some point a child's (baby) immune system isn't mature enough to react to the vaccine, this doesn't mean the vaccine is dangerous, it just means it does nothing but hurt.

Having removed ~10,000 bees from my attic, I was surprised to learn, that they fit in a 2 gallon container. 20,000 seems like “a lot” but mass and volume, it’s really not much.
Did those supporters just barge into the capital on their own though? Or were they directed to do this to create a specific political outcome, just like the naive WSB “investors”?

I wonder if there's a means to verify how long a phone number has been in service and track history and association with spam in the past. Not a really great signal to develop though I suppose, could cause a lot of trouble with people inheriting a new phone number. One time use numbers are probably not going to happen either just by breaking the complexity barrier.

That's not at all what GP is saying. They're saying that X handles their use case, and Wayland doesn't, and that most end users won't care about who's fault that is.

A lot of the criticism of Wayland comes from uninformed jerks who want to trash the protocol over stuff that isn't a real problem, but there is also a bit of reflexive lashing out that comes from Wayland advocates. GP is just saying they can't switch to Wayland until the ecosystem around it matures. That's not an attack, you don't have to take it personally.

> you will need to buy a GPU from a different vendor than NVIDIA

I run a 4K monitor on my desktop with an ~6 year old NVidia graphics card. I run modern software on that machine, I watch movies, I run games, I do 4K art, I even boot into Blender occasionally. I'm not seeing significant slowdown or framerate problems as long as I use NVidia's proprietary drivers in X. But on Nouveau, it's unusable. Who's fault is that? Probably NVidia's! But it doesn't matter, my computer currently works well, I have no plans to upgrade in the immediate future, and this was put together during a period where NVidia was very clearly the sensible choice for anyone who cared about Linux graphics performance.

It's reasonable for people to use older hardware, and it's reasonable for them to want that hardware to work well. We're not talking about people running 32 bit OSes or something, not everybody upgrades their graphics card every 2 years, and it's not really feasible for the surrounding Wayland ecosystem to only target the people who do.

I don't have a proposal for that, I'm not saying anybody has to do anything. I'm actively rooting for Wayland, I do think it is the future. But I'm also describing why I don't run Wayland on my Arch setup and why I don't recommend it to people who ask me about getting into the more technical side of Linux. If someone wants to take even that as some kind of anti-Wayland screed instead of as a completely neutral, factual representation of the current state of the world and the Wayland ecosystem, then that's their problem, not mine.

There's this thing I'm seeing where anyone bringing up these issues just gets asked, "well, what's your suggestion? You want to force developers to do X?" I'm not suggesting anything! I'm describing why I don't use Wayland on my desktop. That's it, that's the only thing I'm doing. I don't know how to solve the problem, but the problem exists, even if it's not your fault.
That was posted 4 days ago, long before the ladder attacks and disinformation campaigns desperately trying to shift attention away from GME. People need to understand the risks involved and not sink their life savings, but there is definitely more going on here than what you'd see in a crypto pump and dump. When a hedge fund shorts 120% of available stock, then retail investors don't sell, and aren't swayed by every trick in the book... something is going to give.
If the theory that it made the jump from another animal turns out to be true it means there’s a reservoir of virus in nature and short of developing some vaccine and distribution plan for that species it will be there. Or I guess eradicating the species. But that seems harmful.
Thanks for this clarification. I guess I had a wrong assumption about Signal then!

What happened to me is that I lost my phone, so I did not have an Android device to re-install Signal. I later managed to get back the SIM card and I assumed that I could use the Desktop client, but if I remember correctly it did not work. However, I will check again all of this
