I tried a whole host of anti-depressants including several SSRIs and an SNRI and all gave me many horrible side effects. At times they were necessary evils, but right now I'm doing pretty well on a low dose of gabapentin. In particular, they tended to both make me sleepy during the day and dramatically reduced the quality of my sleep at night. I also ended up getting tremors and RLS. In the end, I think most of these symptoms were due to the medications decreasing the effective amount of dopamine in my brain (they increase seratonin, but due to how seratonin and dopamine interact, this can decrease the effect of dopamine in the brain; they really need to be in balance with one another).

I also take methylphenidate (Ritalin) for ADHD and it is MUCH easier to stop stimulant medication in my experience compared to anti-depressants. And while stimulants affect sleep, I found the SSRIs to be much worse in this regard since they made me sleep poorly regardless of when I took the SSRI unless I skipped a day of the SSRI (and I was on the lowest possible dose).

Not only do these medications have side effects, they have severe side effects, at least for some people.
I love both Snow Crash and Neuromancer. I recall someone saying that Neal is a great hacker but not a great writer - but that Gibson is a great writer / but not a great hacker.

I guess the comparison isn’t perfect but I get what it means. Snow crash made more technical sense but reads like a disaster. Neuromancer reads like a dopamine drip but misses the mark on some of the tech.

I don't think Instagram had to seriously tackle the kinds of problems you're replying to prior to that acquisition. But when you're a big time tech company, the minimum bar is simply higher. That means more humans.

I think we will drop it soon too. We pay for four or so streaming services and the number of times I fire up Netflix and fail to find anything I want to watch is immeasurable. I figure the best bet with these services is to periodically drop one or two for a few months until they add new contact, then bring it back to replace another one. Pointless paying for them all but only watching a select few things.
My intuition is that Twitter's CEO will be looking for big changes to turn Twitter's stock price around. Now his largest shareholder is also a famous entrepreneur with some big ideas.
It occurred to me that this was a possibility at the time, so I convinced my parents (who were obviously adults when they watched the VHS with me) to check out the DVD also without explaining why. They agreed that the DVD was worse, but not to the same degree that I thought -- so, probably a little from column A and a little from column B.
> Over the 21 years since then, I’ve asked many American Buddhist monks and professors of Buddhist studies how they were first introduced to Buddhism, and several gave me the same answer: Jack Kerouac.

Kerouac lead me too to multiple years of meditation practice. And I learned about On the Road in turn from Jim Morrison.

> Both books are about freedom. Both depict a way of living free from 20-year mortgages, nine-to-five jobs, conventional relationships, and family responsibilities. They present the liberating idea that you can do whatever you want with your life—what you want to do, not just what you are supposed to do.

This has been somewhat of a guiding principle for me I now realize. After reading On the Road in my late teens I might've spent maybe 25% of my years since doing a 9-5. Other things have influenced me as well obviously, but Kerouac has been a strong one, I've read all of his books I could get a hold of.
He totally is a sales guy. But his is clearly wicked smart. He has also had a good deal of self made success rather early in life. Beyond that, he also has a rather interesting perspective - not that interesting is enough to warrant following of course. I'd suggest watching the podcasts he did not too long ago with Graham Stephan. I'm not sure I'd follow what he says, but his perspectives are thought provoking.
I actually have no issue with free/paid. It’s the login requirement that’s bothering me. But you’re saying that’s the part that’s used by telemetry?

In production, agreed. In beta, I’ll accept it. I feel that the term beta gets abused a lot, but in what I believe is it’s proper meaning, there are a lot of inherent factors both parties are agreeing to; increased risk of error and data loss, and debugging flags that generate more data for the singular purpose of improving the product. That’s exactly what should be in the privacy policy and explicitly stated upon install. Anything short of that puts me firmly in the hell-no category with you.
Sure, but that's actually worse than useless for my use-case. Image this, you have an action that publishes your plan to your PR (#1 - it's a biggish feature). It gets merged and goes to approval. Then people happen. PR #2 is addressing a customer-facing bug so it gets fast-tracked and rammed through before PR #1. Suddenly PR #1 is silently invalid. It _should_ be rejected at this point but the whole point of CI/CD is to save time and reduce the surface area for human mistakes.
The perfect search engine would be powered by humans with a search engine. Google is fantastic but there is no human understanding of the needs and wants that can be conveyed through series of keywords.

For example when I type "best humidifiers" I want a suggestion that is ideally based on accurate anecdotes of people who've experienced a brand in a variety of context and edge cases.

What google gives me is a cnet article listing Top 10 in 20XX. This is why I add reddit to the end of the search query now.
Pretty sure Mr. Stross is a regular around here. I personally couldn't warm up too much to his Laundry or Merchant Princes books, but Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise are excellent, and Accelrando was also fun.
All I want Plex to do is serve some MP4 files from a raspberry pi. I had it working at one point with some hidden setting. But now it keeps trying to transcode and such. And it'll randomly just stop working and I have to reboot the pi. Looking for something simpler, something I can use to just Chromecast MP4 files without all of Plex bells and whistles that seen to make it fragile.
I agree that conflating errors with stack unwinding is an unfortunate reality of how exceptions work in most languages. I'm not sure if I agree that suspend/resume are good alternatives. Conceptually, they seem most similar to C's setjmp, which I think we all can agree is generally not the first tool of choice for pretty much anything that isn't a complete hackjob.

The other workarounds at least look somewhat transparent about their costs. Even continuation passing style might be something I could grok. But what is the cost of a suspension frame? I legitimately have no idea.

Another issue is that suspend/resume are conceptually highly procedural and I personally find it difficult to reason about in recursive contexts (e.g. can I/should I pass suspension frames around? What idiomatic idioms from other languages does doing such a thing map to? Do I need to manually allocate heap for recursion like I need to for async recursion? Is it reasonable to expect a e.g. golang person to be ok with that sort of stuff?)

Blade Runner was fantastic and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was ok, but they had neither neural interfaces nor cyberspace (nor the entities dwelling within it), which were pretty central to Neuromancer.

Neuromancer was influenced by both Blade Runner and DADoES, but it's not like it was a ripoff of either, neither in themes, nor characters, nor dialogue, nor plot. It was mostly influenced by these in style.
The scammers are aware of this too, and many online forums are filled with astroturfers.
Do you think Direnv is obsoleted by something else? I’ve always preferred to have an environment specific to my working directory…I seem to recall setting up similar tools for my workstations and network profiles in the 90’s. Seems like a perfectly reasonable way to work.
So long as the identifier is constant over time that does not matter.

From your reference:

UAS ID Type 1. Serial Number, 2. Registration ID, or 3. UTM U

(page 10)

That is: there is a single identifier, constant over time, that is assigned to each drone aircraft.

The UUID standard appears to be RFC 4122:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4122

And again: so long as that's transmitted in the clear, ANY party may accumulate a database of UUIDs and locations over time, which would tend to identify the party(ies) associated with a specific drone. That might not be precisely the operator, but if drone ID "8daf5e654951a033175fb71e0a2ecc03"[1] keeps showing up at Your Fine City's Police Department ... or sewage department, or electric utility ... you might begin to draw some inferences regarding its likely owner/operator.

It might be easier to do so if the identifier had, say, a specific entity element to it (say, as with LDAP or X.500 entity attributes), but the lack of such an element to the identifier itself is at best a small hinderance to owner/operator identification.

And do the task consistently and correctly.
I DISAGREE. For this reason: I was given antipressants by my (former) doctor for a moderate anxiety "phase". It was escitalopram. And it did well for me - within a day! When it came to end the medication, I was told to just stop taking it. Which I did. But I should not have - I had anxietiy "echoes" over the following YEAR, really weird stuff. So I started to read about the medication: Studies have shown the longer you take time to reduce it in steps (like 10% of the former dose) the better is the time after. But since this is burdensome, its rarely suggested and also people need to "cut" pills to have the exact dose for their reduction.

My current OPINION is: Until you have read studies and got some plausible experiences from people with the same medication, one doctor alone isn't a good source for taking medication.

I will only take medication in the future if life wouldn't managable without, but not for issues that just take time.
Twitter auto-pauses videos when I scroll down past them. It has a couple other UX quirks that I really dislike as well.

HN probably has 0-1 devs actively working on it and is (likely still) running on two machines ("master" and "standby")[1]

Not sure about the comparison between Twitter and HN. I agree with the comment above yours - IMO Twitter has been stagnant in many regards. Why not spend time really nailing down video/image hosting/viewing etc? Why NFT profile pics?

Yeah cruel though it is, I would need to see a photo of the author if I were going to concur with his surprise that he was selected as a target. If he looks like the typical young computer nerd (while literally typing on a laptop in the café mind you), these people are thinking okay jackpot: no life[0], no girlfriend[1], plenty of money[2], book-smart[3] but not street-smart[4], and probably other things their finely-tuned spidey-sense can pick up that mine can't because I'm not a fucking sociopath.

[0] so social contact makes a good lure

[1] so sex makes a good lure

[2] juicier target

[3] which means he can almost talk himself into anything

[4] less likely to recognize he's being conned/manipulated
i have a life long history of major depression. only recently have i felt any better. i checked myself into rehab and had an amazing therapist. specifically EMDR therapy for trauma, and finally deciding to forgive myself for pretty evil things i did in my addiction. gabapentin for anxiety also helped. best of luck, please seek professional help, but don't be afraid to switch therapists/psychiatrists until you find someone you connect with. much love to you, and good job speaking up and being vulnerable, that's a difficult first step towards healing.
Since it's digital data, I wonder if anyone ever captured the data the very first time it was played back, and then just played the captured version on subsequent runs.

It would eliminate the problem with it wearing out.
With respect, don’t make such absolutist statements. I have a very large Plex library that I use every day. I am really not concerned with off-site auth or whatever. The “free” movies took me all of about 30 seconds to remove. Other people that use my Plex can remove them if they want, too. My parents have access to my Plex and they like the wider range of moves offered by Plex’s streaming service. I’m not going to kick up a fuss if they use it.

These are largely puritan nerd arguments that I see plastered all over the Plex subreddit but that I simply don’t experience day to day and haven’t in the 10+ years that I’ve used Plex. Plex is probably right to ignore what I personally perceive to be a vocal minority.
> Anti-depressants, if dosed and chosen properly, have basically no side effects
WTF is that bullshit ?
SSRIs destroy libido and possibly permanently (see r/pssd)
MAOIs have many side effects
NRIs are not effective
NDRIs can cause tinnitus.
Stims are cardiotoxic and usually not prescribed for depression.
TCAs are not an action mechanism and therefore fall in the above categories.
Atypical mechanisms are not better either.
The only ones with low side effects either cause some sedation (mirtazapine, agomelatine) or have dubious effectiveness.
The only one that stands out is moclobemide and maybe bifemelane. The latter is only available in japan. The former has low efficacy.
hence for someone that don't want side effects, only moclobemide make sense, or ultra atypical stuff that has probably low efficacy. One of the only atypical that might be potent is SAM-e but who wants to play with his DNA methylation ?
9 mebc is phototoxic unfortunately as it is very promising otherwise.
edit: it's true though that testosterone is apparently as effective as SSRIs and with less side effects.

What should be said though is that there are some great anxiolytic out there, it's just that no one knows them, e.g opipramol, emoxypine, etifoxine
A lot of legitimate uses out there for occasional, important-when-it's-needed, on-demand compute that works out to very low utilization overall.
Your post reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.

>This is far too late in my experience

It is not in my experience.

>If you wait this long the trans and gay kids are already being picked on

I think the better thing to do would be to work on fixing bullying overall. Even if kids understood different sexual orientations better they would still make fun of people who are different. If somebody talks different or looks different they will be made fun of.

>everyone else has learned how sex works from internet porn.

I don't think sex ed will fix this. It quite possibly peak kids interest and cause them to view porn even earlier when they look up information about sex.

>I think this is an interesting point, and I'd agree that if the problem was just puberty then moving things back a year would solve the issue.

You are the one who brought up puberty.

>Obviously real data would be needed for this beyond just a hypothesis,

Fully agree. I think the problem is testing this. Introducing porn and other sexual content to a 5 year old doesn't seem like the greatest thing to do.

>Gender identity isn't a sexual issue at this age (obviously it's inherently sexual but not in the way this point is addressing it). There seems to be some consensus that gender dysphoria is first experienced at age 3 to 7 and personally I witnessed kids I went to school with displaying signs of this prior to 3rd grade.

How many actually are showing signs of this? There is a growing number of people who think if a boy plays with a Barbie or likes pink that means he is showing signs of gender dysphoria.

>There isn't any harm in explaining to children that gender dysphoria exists and that while some of them may question their gender, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them and that they shouldn't pick on people who don't fit cleanly into gender categories.

There is a harm. 80% of kids who display gender dysphoria at this age grow out of it. Those 80% may become more certain in their incorrect gender identity and start treatments over conversations you are proposing. The longer kids are on medications (and if they get surgery) the harder it is to detransition, which as I mentioned already is at 80%.

The Wii used this technique - game discs included the latest version of the system software, so that consoles would get updated by buying new games even if they were never connected to the internet.
>It should be little shameful to raise money and sell part of the company before even building a sustainable business.

why? VCs generally aren't interested in buying part of a currently sustainable business. They want a company that will be vastly more profitable in the future.

Companies with no current revenue or sustainability have infinitely more room for growth.

it's so unfortunate. I am an immigrant that left my birth country quite young, but I still remember couple of good friends. Out of around 7 friends whom I remembered their name and details enough that I later track them down online, only 1 replied, the rest all said they've been burnt heaps through the years by scammers etc. And that was it.
No, as I said the Squadron was operationally commanded by a billionaire as recently as the 1980s.

> It is a de facto public square. This is not up for debate.

You provide no evidence and then try to shut down other opinions? This is certainly not a self-evident fact.

Maybe the public square is still the public square? Or the Internet itself?

Isn’t “public” in “public square” important? Twitter is a private company. The public square became important to free discussion because it was owned by the public. Twitter isn’t.

And between FB, YT, Reddit, podcasting, Google search, etc. we’ve actually never had this many different, non-siloed ways of communicating publicly. If Twitter went bankrupt tomorrow there would still be many ways for the public to broadcast their thoughts to a wide audience.

I don’t understand how a website that the majority of my friends and family don’t use, isn’t public and isn’t in the top 10 visited sites can be the “de facto public square”.

Sure, it’s a major communication channel, but one of many.
I think you’ve touched on an interesting point here with respect to connection. Content naturally lives inside a walled garden and is often created there whether by users or professional studios. Users expect and dont care about this. However _connection_ is naturally between things and is a source of user friction when things dont connect well together.
Couldn't agree more. For the average person outside of our bubble, google "just works". They don't give a fuck about customization or the occasional ads. There are still plenty of people who click on the sponsored links without even knowing, or caring, that they are ads.
I agree with this and the tragic war in Ukraine is something that we should all be very much against. And yet Google itself gave instructions to Russian translators avoid translating war in Ukraine as a war[1]. Their defence is probably doing business in Russia and fearing the safety of their workers in Russia.

Warp engineer here - thanks for writing about your experience!

As cieplik mentioned, it's true that telemetry has not been mentioned as frequently as it has been on HN.

> I think it does an amazing job of making the terminal easy and friendly to infrequent users.

As for our users, it's a combination of newer and more experienced terminal users. More than half of them are self-reported advanced or expert terminal users.
Snow Crash is childish, that's why it's more successful.

Snow Crash is built around an airport novel style narrative.

Neuromancer has a far more literary tone, and is trickier to digest.

That's the entire reason Snow Crash is cited. Airport novel readership is far more widespread.
Congrats, looks interesting. For higher value items and furnitures, I currently have a spreadsheet with price, and screenshots of product specs. Very useful when time comes to sell them :)

Please, provide some content besides just a broad declaration. I don’t understand why someone would come to this conclusion.
Tesla boss Elon Musk buys stake in Twitter before openly criticising
> new owners

This was a completely fraudulent construct. 100% of the voting rights were sold for the equivalent of 1 Euro to a single person with no serious business background (has dealt with cars and performed as a DJ). This is a company with billions of turnover. And 99.99999% of the ownership was bought back by the the company itself.
How are taxes tipping the dealer? It's a fixed price you must pay. Do you give the dealer a small percentage beyond what you're required to pay to legally complete the transaction?
My disdain for them is about personal integrity.

For years I used to be a fan of both Elon and Steve jobs, but when I learn about how Jobs treated his child or the 'diver saving kids in a cave is a pedo' incident, I have to conclude that they are shitty people.

I can imagine how a man forces another man out of a company, offers him a rotten deal or even robs him at gunpoint.

I cannot understand how a man abandons his child in poverty. The degree of irresponsibility required to live with yourself, to me is incomprehensible.

Elon's 'pedo incident' is simpler - he tried to butt in into a rescue mission with a submarine PR project, made a fool of himself, and instead of admitting his mistake has displayed infantilism and self control of a moody teenager. He could have shown at least some respect to the diver that has saved many lives. So maybe not irredeemable, but does not sound like someone you'd invite over for dinner.

Maybe it's not their fault, maybe the flaw is in our society and when you become super rich and people line up in a mile long-queue to kiss your ass, it starts messing with your head and you really start to believe that the sun shines out of your arsehole and other people are lesser to you, the ubermench. Thats just a hypothesis.

I know right wing people who hate both of them, reasons vary: disrespecting family values, pushing green agenda, whatever.

But sometimes you dislike a person because they are a shitty person, and it has to do with their action, not political leanings.
Or left-pad or that other one. JS ecosystem seems dangerous to no version pin, pack and maybe self-host the needed+known-good modules
I think Musk got the seat on Twitter because he didn't want to be deplatformed. Twitter is closely tied to his PR activities (for good or bad) and all the drama around "coins" (not to give him any legitimacy from a crypto-sceptic). Twitter allows him to "shoot from the pulpit".

The story is always bigger than what plays out in the shadows. I wouldn't base my decision on what is being extensively reported.
MAOIs are not necessarily more dangerous, they just need a low tyramine diet which is easily doable. Moreover you can significantly lower this need with a concommitant NRI.
transdermal (emsam) or selective mao-a or b don't even need a diet and are safer than SSRIs (no PSSD)
