There is a huge difference between building a clone today on top of today's tools and commodity cloud platforms versus building it originally on what was around in 2006 and then having to constantly add features, change things, and then maintain 15 years worth of accumulated special edge cases forever without downtime.

Comparing to Instagram seems pretty unfair too as it's newer, it was even-more-featured-limited for a long time, is now part of a much larger behemoth and had much lower scale than today's twitter when it was acquired, and my guess would be that it's an easier scaling problem too (lower on post frequency, more read-heavy workload).

It’s circumstantial which is why I caveated it as my own opinion. Oliver Stone’s work talks about this a lot and outlines the problems with the official story and why the CIA could be the culprit. It just makes the most sense to me overall.
Honestly: go and talk to a doctor you trust.

My opinion (not a doctor): What is wrong in your life? Are you:

+ Working too hard

+ Commuting

+ Not exercising and taking care of yourself

+ Eating a diet with lots of processed foods

+ Using drugs and alcohol as a crutch

+ Overweight

+ Not resting regularly

+ Sleeping poorly

+ Have other health issues not addressed

+ Without genuine friends

+ Without a good partner

+ A certain age without kids

+ Spending too much time on social media

+ Spending too much time watching TV

+ Not engaging in hobbies, such as reading

+ Neglecting talking to family

+ Wanting to do something different in life but ignoring it

+ Harbouring regret, judging yourself and generally being cynical

+ Judging those around you too harshly

+ Not trusting people

Etc.

I fully understand that depression causes people to avoid addressing problems like I’ve listed. I’ve been there too, and it is not easy to climb out of the hole. It’s a positive feedback loop though: you start neglecting things (maybe due to time constraints), you lose a bit of happiness/stability, you neglect more things & so on. The hard part is to break out of the loop and start ticking these boxes. Start small and don’t judge yourself harshly if you slip.

Really do examine my small list and see if any of these things are pulling you down. If there’s something there you can’t fix, don’t beat yourself up on it. That’s the last thing to do. No one can be perfect, so don’t worry.
And it's still awful.
> Twitter is a monopoly.

In what market? What is the evidence of non-substitution/pricing power?

> When the only way for government officials to relay messages to their constituents is through a private platform such as Twitter

It’s...not the only way.

> it ceases to have the same privilege as a private corporation

First Amendment rights of private parties are not privileges.

> It is a de facto public square.

It is neither a de facto nor de jure public square.

> This is not up for debate.

Saying “This is not up for debate“ does not make your bare assertion into an actually unquestionable position.
Thoughts on the Witness (2016)
It's not just an encoded URL. It could be any data. If you encode the infamous AV test string as a QR code, you can cause some mischief for things randomly scanning for codes. There was a post here not long ago about it. So they can be way more dangerous than just a Rick-roll or spam redirect
It's all the same stuff. Worth learning about to immunize yourself from these things. The very first 10 mins of the Apple+ show We Crashed is a master class of some of the techniques.

Christopher Alexander passed away a few weeks ago on March, 17 2022. If you're looking to read more about his life's work I recommend this overview

https://dorian.substack.com/p/at-any-given-moment-in-a-proce...

One way of understanding Alexander's life and work is that he asked a few important and simple questions, and went through many investigations through research and practice to develop different perspectives and frames to provide answers. He was continuously evolving his approach and experimenting to learn and develop a deeper understanding.

Read Alexander if you're interested in questions like:

- Why are old buildings better (more beautiful, more life affirming)?

Which led him to the question of:

- What is real? What is reality?

His own answers to these questions run counter to materialistic modern ideas, and so this puts his work at odds with his contemporaries. Myself, I believe he was a great among mortals, and that his work will prove immortal.

You may be correct about not trusting mental health with strangers. But at the and taking anti depressant or not taking it up to you. Doctor cannot weight pros and cons of taking anti depressant for you.
I have taken SSRI's in the past; I don't currently. I do currently see a therapist. I sometimes consider taking SSRI's again. I'm not sure if I've ever "triumphed", but my emotional health is lot better than it's been at it's worst. I still feel a lot of challenges.

I'm not sure it's true that SSRI's have "really bad side-effects for most people that take them." I know some people have mild side effects, medium side effects, or really bad side-effects. A few people have no side effects. I doubt that most people have really bad side-effects; most people with really bad side-effects probably stop taking them.

If you feel like it's a last resort, why not try it? If you don't like it, you can always stop. I think your "utter terror" (in your words) is related to your struggles for emotional health, yeah -- there's no reason for utter terror.

I'd also look for a therapist you find more useful.

I'd also consider meditation.

I'd also consider talking to a doctor about your sleep problems specifically, since you mention that as a particular concern.

Once you get to the point that you are desperate that you just don't want to live that way -- and I've been there -- why not try, literally, anything? What do you have to lose?

A French company made a product along these lines already, but I don’t think it’s been updated since 2018: https://blog.qarnot.com/introducing-the-qc-1-crypto-heater/

It’s true this is as good as resistive heating in terms of heating efficiency, but it is still far less efficient than a heat pump. Unless you are in an area with a large excess of renewable energy it probably doesn’t make sense environmentally to use an asic heater.
It depends on what your core mechanics of the games are and the myriad of edge cases that arise as a result of those decisions. It can very well become exponential and it is a big reason why indie games are simple, anything more complicated to emulate a studio production, would quickly balloon into incredible amount of work and the biggest risk is not knowing if it will mount to anything.

I learned the hard way and realized just how hard game development is and how much we take for granted the human cost. You really really must love games to be involved with them. You cannot do it based on ROI calculations it really requires passion and patience.
any experience with rails or django to compare with?
The two word combination "Free speech" is so Americanised that it needs a bunch of asterisks to define what it's supposed to mean. Is it the legal thing where the government isn't allowed to arbitrarily censor citizens? Or is it the "I want everything I think to be received by everyone" that a good chunk of people seem to think it means? Or is it "I want to be a dick and everyone has to keep dealing with my shit"? As far as I can tell, unless you're dealing with the government, the most legalese meaning of "free speech" doesn't apply at all.

Ask HN: Can healthcare (hospitalization and outpatient) be fixed?
Over the 4 to 5 yrs of being a health advocate (?) for a family member, I've witnessed a well-meaning but generally dated healthcare system. Aside from the ICU, hospital stays have been 75% transactional cookie-cutter diagnosis and 25% treating the patient (not just the symptoms). Outpatient? Mainly smart trained professionals effectively reading mindlessly from a script.

Futhermore, foundational health must-haves such as nutritional meals and quality sleep are consistently bad. How can you get well if these "essential services" are out of step with current science?

The experience has been both frustrating and dumbfounding. Is this all that will be?
There's enclaves of doctors who e.g. think everything is some obscure type of bipolar disorder. Listening to doctors above all else is, surprisingly, not a good idea.

For everyone who had their life turned around by medication I have met two or three who either did not see improvement or had negative side effects on all options tried so they gave up.

Some drugs, like the typical or atypical antipsychotics that treat bipolar or rapidly oscillating bipolar, have the side effect of reducing your energy and making you more passive. It's hard to pick out the effects of some drugs from actually solving the issue or just making you more likely to not cause a fuss.
We've suddenly turned a "simple" feature into something with potentially major architectural changes[0] on how retweeting works too, just in a few minutes here! I wonder what other dragons await the ... lucky ... engineers who will get to size this feature soon. ;)

specifically for your terraform example, wouldn't it make more sense to have the PR merged only when apply was successful?

i'm not sure how well that can be represented in GH actions, but that would surely be the better option?

you'll always risk some kind of race condition there, e.g. atlantis locks the project while something is planned but not applied to avoid such things from happening. this of course prevents having multiple PRs "ready" at the same time, you'd have to unlock the active PR lock to be able to implement another one.

A doctor can definitely weigh it for you, that is practically the whole job... A doctor can (most of the time) not "make" you take medicine, but again, that is not the point either.

Hey - that's a good point. The thing about terminal benchmarks is that there are many of them, each focusing on a different aspect and producing different results. There's one by alacritty team[1] that we used in our initial tests[2], there's another ones mentioned in the comments above etc. When using vtbench, Warp performed much better than iterm, for example.

Ideally we'd ace all of them, but we're not there yet. Anecdotally, many of our users mention speed/performance improvements over other terminal apps a lot in our Discord!

Ironically how we're getting this as part of a wave of amplification of Western propaganda... my God we really need to stop peddling propaganda, especially on a somewhat tech related forum.
On twitter you can find lot of great people to follow; journalists, scientists, experts of any kind. If you are looking for information, you can find it.

> No, see, that's but one example of how your unwillingness or inability to accept any complexity or nuance gets in the way of thinking.

Or maybe I've heard the "tv license" excuse for many years now. Nothing you wrote is new to me. Surprised you didn't post a link to BBC edited wikipedia article.

> If you insist that everything is the same and all politicians are corrupt and all media are lying then you're just giving away any power you might have.

No. I insist that propaganda is propaganda. I've no problem saying RT is state propaganda because that's exactly what RT is. I've no problem saying that BBC is state propaganda because that's exactly what they are. I've no problem calling putin a corrupt politician. Just like I have no problem calling zelensky or biden or trump a corrupt politician.

What you are saying is my corrupt politician isn't corrupt because he is on my team. My favorite propaganda outlet isn't propaganda because they are on my team. That's the difference between you and me.

> That's why RT loves cynicism and tries to amplify exactly that work view: it's a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Where did I hear that from? Oh that's right, it's the anti-RT propaganda. Funny how that works huh? Funny how propaganda say X and people just repeat it endlessly? You are the one amplifying propaganda you heard not me.

But believe what you want. BBC is a government created and funded state propaganda. This is a historical fact. You can invent all kinds of excuses if it helps you sleep at night. But it doesn't change reality. How crazy is it that only our enemies have propaganda? Only russia, china, north korea, etc have propaganda. We don't have propaganda. Nope. Your comment is proof that we have the best propaganda.

My favorite little spot was the r/foxhole little spot

For those who are unfamiliar, foxhole is a grand scale mmo war game where two sides fight over a giant map over the course of a few weeks. There’s extensive player led logistics lines, massive front lines, and every battle, base, and item are all made by players. It’s a good time

The foxhole community built a little replica of the game map, and over the course of place fought over it much like the actual game. If you check the Timelapse you can see both sides trying to push into the other territories.

And it found itself caught in a bunch of big events, raids, voids, ect. But the community rebuilt and resumed fighting incredibly quick, which seems pretty in character lol.

Leave it to the foxhole players to fight over even faker land
Sure— nothing that visible will stay untarnished forever. Not to everybody, anyway. Starting out pre-tarnished makes it a lot harder to get enough adoption for a brand to withstand that, especially for an image-focused product. Facebook only had the opportunity to become a sad hot mess because they affected preppy ivy league exclusivity instead of launching as "OpenPorpoisePost.org" or some other FOSSy name. We'd never have heard of H&M had they been named "Tootin' Duds".

To be honest, last year finished ~3 months ago. The key is „since last year”. It doesn’t say „for a year”.
There's different people in Russia too. No one is blocking US citizens because they dropped bombs killing 300 people shopping in markets or 200k civilians in Iraq or for the many abuses like Abu Grahib.

Actually america has been by far the biggest aggressor on the planrt in tge last decades, and it killed the most civilians outside Africa.

That's my problem with this massive anti russian hysteria in software.

You only appear careless, racist and naive. It's better to avoid politics in software and business, because if you don't you have to basically ban anyone.
You had an incompetent prescriber.

Tapering doses for all sorts of medications are routinely done, and any pharmacy can handle such an rx. If they can't - you don't want to go to such a pharmacy anyway.
SSRI's didn't work too well for me, I ended up feeling like a zombie, personally. Wellbutrin (Bupropion; more of a mild stimulant) was alright for a little bit as a medium-term solution; I had a touch of anxiety for a week or two, but the antidepressant effect wore off after about a year. The main thing for me was changing my life circumstance...which is a tall order when you're depressed, but easier if you have a leg up with an antidepressant and plan things a little bit/give yourself some rails for the near future. Arthur Miller talked about how depression can inform your existence; maybe you've got chemical issues, but consider your mode of existence. Maybe try a change in direction? I don't know your circumstance, but the job market is good right now for that sort of thing. Life has taken a strange turn for me the past few years, I don't know how universal my experience is, lol.
Have you tried Jellyfin?
Sounds like you’re saying Elon is lying when he says it’s about freedom of speech and open algorithms. Weird.
> [SSRIs] have really bad side effects for most people that take them.

This is an exaggeration according to the statistics I've found. Most people have _some_ side effects, maybe. Certainly _some_ people have really bad side effects. But not most.

Just try the drugs. If you experience bad side effects, stop taking them (weaning off properly of course).

My longtime partner has dealt with fairly severe depression and anxiety since she was a young. She finally started on SSRIs two months ago and they're working remarkably well. Like... life-changing kind of well, if this keeps up (and there's no reason to expect otherwise with these drugs, AFAICT). She was very concerned about side effects, but has had essentially zero besides mild discomfort the first two or three days while getting acclimated to the dose.

YMMV of course.
Hello. I wanted to chime in that Prozac changed my life in 2016. I wrote about my experiences here: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1392213804684038150?s=2...

I’ve always wondered if I simply lucked out. But the usual caveats apply: talk to your doctor, I am a datapoint of one, etc.

But they do work for some lucky people, and there is a chance you’re one of them.

“Walking around with a pit in my stomach” is a feeling I vaguely remember having before 2016, but at the time it felt like endless doom. Perhaps in five years your pain will feel like a distant memory too.

It seems to be true that not-Prozac might be a bad idea. The anecdata is pretty strong that Welbuterin and Lexapro have side effects that offset any benefit. Everyone reacts differently, but the side effects for me have been quite tolerable.

If you do try it, note you won’t experience any effect unless you take it every day for 30 days. I almost missed the benefits because of giving up too early.
Oh man that could really be something. Al Gore invented the Internet after all.
