"nothing ever came close to what I had experienced that first time with MDMA"

The common experience of there being something special/magical about the first time on MDMA (and some other compounds) is evidence that it's probably changing your brain in some way.

Hopefully with more research we'll eventually figure out what's happening there and make every use just as magical.

Show HN: I've made an app to monitor and remind when ETH gas fee is low
Most of us are aware that the gas charge for ETH transactions is exorbitant, but what if you could track the gas fee in realtime straight on your desktop and save money by being notified of the gas fee that best suits your needs.

Here is how it looks like

> unlike microchips, wheat can't be stored indefinitely

I'm actually unsure which depreciates quicker: wheat or silicon? On one hand, wheat is perishable. On the other hand, silicon becomes obsolete.
what evidence do you have to back this claim? how does crypto a wildly fluctuating asset offer a protection against the USD? Bitcoin can go swing anywhere from 40% range on any given week. How is this a stable hedge against currency or stocks for that matter? Gold has statistical evidence of holding its value and its frustrating to me to see half baked claims that crypto is hedge.

Clearly we have different definition of what hedge is.

I don't think you can improve Excel too much, but you could the ecosystem around it: Microsoft should integrate a package manager. Not something public, but something companies can privately maintain and publish packages to, that would contain common functions for their specific business.

If I could have a way to download a macro to a spreadsheet that would automate database connection for certain data sets, that would be huge, and since it'd be centralized corps could even have critical sheets functions managed by version control.

Mission critical excel spreadsheets run huge sections of large corps, we can discourage it or provide tools to better manage it.
Well you can actually put many exception yielding statements in the try, unlike with go where your code is full of "if err:=nil{}" after every potential error.

Most of the time when an exception occurs in sequential operations that can fail, you don't really care where it failed exactly, only that the failure was caught.

The irony is that Go does have half baked exceptions (panic,recover) on top of that error as value convention.
Feel you're falling pray to grass is greener. I'm not a Californian, and can tell you, the complaints you have are everywhere that is affluant and has homeless friendly climate.

The only problem I see in California is the taxes are too high for what you get in return. At those rates, you'd expect to throw in free healthcare or some amazing public services and infrastructure. So I'm suspicious the budget is used properly and that there is probably a lot of corruption.

If I was a Californian, I'd be hard pressed to either expect more from my taxes or demand tax cuts otherwise.

I've long wondered how Shulgin managed toxicity issues with new substances. There can be very little difference between something relatively safe and something very toxic (or even worse perhaps, cumulatively toxic) so that's very interesting - do you have a link to something Shulgin definitively wrote on this? I'd like to know more from the horse's mouth TIA

I often use Excel to model data operations before I get to programming in pandas, so you're spot-on.
The issue is filter accuracy. I have seen some of my favorite coworkers, who showed great pairing skills in the real world, melt down in typical algorithm interviews. I've also seen great performers in interview that were obvious terrible hires, from a purely technical perspective, within a month.

I've interviewed four digits worth of candidates, under different rubrics and different expected difficulty levels, and all the good I can say about the modern interview is that at least it tends to crib out the people that can't write code at all, at least if you are making sure nobody is feeding them answers. But can I say that interview performance with me, and how well I rated the person's work when they were hired and ended up working close enough to me, had much to do with each other? I don't think so.

That's why, when working at a small enough place I have some control over the interviewing process, I'll offer options to the candidate, and dedicate far more time to the process than I would in a large software firm. It's OK to just raise the technical bar enormously when you are offering the best salaries in the market, and you can expect to never run out of candidates. But when you are not competitive, you have to do something to find great candidates that don't look wonderful in a FAANG style interview format, but will be very good in practice anyway.
It literally is.
This seems like a way of viewing a small subset of linear algebra (matrix multiplication). My favorite approach is 3 Blue1Brown's visual one, also avail on Khan Academy.

> People are irrational, they value things that don’t necessarily cost more to make, and sometimes even the fact that they need to pay extra for it, is in fact why they want it.

I think it would be irrational to value things based on how much they cost to make. The rational thing would be to value something based on utility to you. Why should you care how much it cost to make, unless you have as an alternative the ability to make it yourself?
Yes it does. Read the entire article. Or if you don’t actually care, don’t. But please don’t spread misinformation like this.
Well this initiated a rant, not directly related to ads, but Google in general. This is an internet literacy issue I’ve noticed more and more. People will refer to Google listings as an authoritative source even if the data comes from some third party.

“Is this Jordan’s Tiles?”

“No. This is Patrick. You have the wrong number.”

“It says on their website this is the number!”

“Their website is wrong, this isn’t Jordan’s Tiles.”

more argument with me just hanging up because they’re clueless (someone even had the audacity to ask me what the number was for Jordan’s Tiles like I’m their personal assistant)

And finally I went on Google and searched for Jordan’s Tiles. There my number was on the listing and on a third party source. The right number was on the lower ranking Jordan’s Tiles website. They were so argumentative about being so wrong, it was outside of their ability to understand that the internet can and does give you the wrong information.

So their iOS app is also copy and pasted project then? Another asset that didn't stop them from launching, did it?

On top of that, so basing on 'free and open source software' and even giving attribution now means 'you haven't built anything novel or interesting'. Oh dear.

Yeah, surely Mastodon by itself has hundreds of millions of users worldwide since launch day right? /s

I never knew that a controlled launch, only in the US with a waitlist already means 'it is over' or 'it is failing' /s I guess it depends on the 'sources' one reads.

It doesn't matter what Ukraine wants vis a vis NATO. NATO states have publicly admitted they were egging the Ukrainians along with NATO membership. NATO doesn't want to guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty. They couldn't care less about Ukraine.

NATO want to put missiles in Ukrainian and Georgian fields. Now that they've admitted that NATO's out of the question, why would Ukraine agree to make itself a target?
You can, however, name cells and refer to them in formulas. Much nicer to have descriptive names instead of $J$7 for constants or inputs.
> How much inflation in the US and around the world will people tolerate before diversifying into crypto.

Diversifying from cash (which is impacted by inflation) into (most) cryptoassets with such volatilities doesn't make sense. People who have cash rather than appreciating assets want zero risk and some idea of how much they'll still have in one year. Cryptoassets don't provide that.

> once it's up to around 100 trillion the price will be a lot more stable just like the dollar itself.

Why? You seem to imply that USD is stable because of how big it is. I'm not sure where you get that from. The Fed targets a 2% inflation, so by definition, when it doesn't fail, the USD is stable.

If market cap is really the relevant metric, then you might as well compare BTC and CHF, and you'll reach your threshold faster.
Visual is all nice and all, but I really fancy the 'computational' model of spreadsheets which is very easy to learn and apply IMO.

I realize I wasn't being very nice, and I apologize for that. I'm quite sure there are plenty of very smart people who live in the bay area and do great work. With such a high concentration of engineers it makes sense plenty will suck, too.

My experience is biased, of course. My company has offices all over the country and a couple years ago opened a new office in SF, and I'm 93.4% sure we don't exactly pay FAANG-competitive salaries there, which affects the quality of who we can recruit there. It's kinda like how we hire engineers in Hyderabad for 1/5 the US rate and then wonder why we more often than not get substandard performance.

> Distortion is always there, whether it comes from an imprecise sensor/instrument or from extrapolating sampled data.

Specifically regarding the latter part of "extrapolating sampled data", I would highly recommend watching this video: https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml. As long as your input signal is low-passed to below 22kHz, the 44.1kHz sampling is perfect. No information is lost, no distortion.

I however am not qualified enough to tell you how the naive FFT filter approach changes in distortion as you raise the sampling frequency.

Rough Draft in Kingston, NY is another one. It's definitely my favorite bookshop right now. It helps to have a great coffee bar and booze bar and a cool historical building, but most of all it helps to be in a city to which hipsters have been migrating in droves in recent years. To be fair Rough Draft are as much a driver of that recent migration (along with other new similar businesses) as it is a beneficiary. They do a great job in curating their book selection, unfortunately the crowds and morning coffee queues keep me away more than I would like.

Two questions:

1) Do the functions "freeze" once the response body has been sent back? Is it possible to return a response to the user (for a quick API response) and then continue doing some background work? This is has been a source of pain with AWS Lambda based services like Vercel that freeze execution once the response has been sent.[1]

2) How does keeping a connection pool work between function invocations? For example using Prisma for the nice typed DB functions.

It'd be unreasonable to ask someone to perform a hash of those last four digits (how would your mom respond if the bank asked her for the sha256 hash of her card number?), but it could be helpful to ask questions that don't reveal too much information, like, "is the sum of the last four digits even?" or "is the sum evenly divisible by 3?"

It would be difficult to come up with something you could reasonably ask an account holder to figure out on their own that also wasn't easy to randomly guess.
I had a legitimate call from my credit union last month. They were following up on a problem I had reported with their on-line bill pay system. Toward the beginning of the call, they wanted to verify that it was me and they asked me to provide them with the 2FA code they had just texted to me. I declined and told them that this is what scammers do. They agreed with me and encouraged me to call them back at the number on my ATM card.

I thought it was really unprofessional of them to operate this way.

What do you consider a long pause time?

In userland I consider anything above maybe 1 or 2 milliseconds to be a long pause time. The standards only get higher when it's something like a kernel.

A kernel with even a 0.2ms pause time can be unacceptable when working with ultra low-latency audio for example.

The powered cart design? I'm not sure. I suppose there are some niche jobs that you could target with that. I think most farms set up to use a tractor with a front end loader or bobcat (which takes care of shoveling too), or gator/truck/atv for just hauling. I can see the powered cart being useful in small barns or niche chores, but only marginally (or for disabilities).

In general, I think low cost, low maintenance, and the ability to repair it yourself (lots of COTS parts) are the main benefits.

Interchangeable buckets/attachments would be good. What I mean is that I see a lot of outdoor or primary sector uses in the existing carts. Could be good to have the bucket of the wheelbarrow be interchangeable for the secondary or value-add steps. Many small farms need to vertically integrate to survive. So maybe have it focused on processing, like hauling, warming, and bottling (honey gate) that 100 gallon container this honey device uses. Or maybe for hauling mushroom bags from sterilization, to inoculation, to fruiting rooms.

Also, I assume many of the people using a powered wheelbarrow type device would find a loading aide/mechanism highly beneficial. Stuff like shoveling takes a long time and can be hard on the back.

Ask HN: Is a new router worth it?
I have an Apple Airport Express router that I bought in 2015. It works great, but no longer receives security updates.

I'm mostly afraid that some unpatched bug will leave my home network vulnerable; or that I'll wake up one day and find that my router turned into a paperweight because of an unpatched vulnerability.

Better reception would be nice, but, except for one problem spot, I have great reception throughout my home.

Thoughts? Should I replace my router just because it's old and unsupported?
I've had that happen to me as well - person finds a wrong number online someplace, calls me, and then is mad at me that I am not who they are looking for...go figure.
Seeing this, I wonder if it is possible to optimize the bytecode. E.g. in the last example you could inline bb3: and remove the STORE_FAST/LOAD_FAST pair twice.

Bytecode might get a bit faster and maybe smaller, but probably not enough to make it worth it, assuming the python interpreting is not the bottleneck of your code. You presumably can't do much advanced optimization like inlining, as python is potentially very dynamic with lots of reflection.
Or, that the cause is known but there are several potential mechanisms behind it. Usually those mechanisms are not well understood and may in turn be triggered by something that may not have been explained by science yet -- an infection, genetic abnormality or even an injury earlier in life.
