On a much smaller time scale, I have noticed that when I skip my usual morning coffee (say, running out of coffee, going for a run with an accountability buddy, or traveling and staying in a "coffee desert"), I feel remarkably clear-minded and calm, even though I crave the smell, taste, experience of coffee. When I let it last, this mental calmness lasts until early afternoon, when I'd usually get coffee #2 of 2, as the dull withdrawal headache sets in and I chemotactically writhe my way toward increasingly desperate sources of caffeine.

I've been drinking at least 2 cups of coffee ("cups" is a fuzzy measure) for maybe 15 years. Maybe I should power through the withdrawal and discover for myself if I've accidentally been undermining my mental clarity and life quality this whole time, instead of giving myself energy and helping concentration as I'd been assuming.

it depends - caffeine uses different receptors than are helpful for many people with ADHD, and since it isn’t managed by someone outside, it’s easy to get big swings of usage or other problems due to, well ADHD.

It’s common that folks with ADHD will use Caffeine, it just doesn’t work as well as other stimulants for many people.
> The WSJ, Economist, or Bloomberg will not help you understand modern American conservatism. That's the conservatism of the early Bush years.

They represent the business faction of the coalition, which was dominant (at least until recently), and has the most resources to spend on propaganda. There are other factions (e.g. religious social conservatives).

Trump also seemed to kick of a realignment, which scrambles a lot of the old understandings.

True, but unfortunately in TypeScript the norm is to omit the file extension (I think you even have to make configuration changes to allow otherwise). Node doesn't care because it doesn't deal with the TypeScript directly at all, so most Node-targeted TypeScript ends up not having file extensions

> More than all the antitrust regulations being thrown at Google, I'd like to see regulators force Google to provide users customer support.

I would recommend a $5/month email service. It would be nice if free Gmail gave even more free stuff, but only a paid for service can really expect paid support staff.

Having said that, this seems like a terrible idea from a security perspective. There may well be no way to design a service that is resistant to social engineering and lets you unlock your account via a phone call.

if i have 1 piece of feedback about docusaurus docsearch, it is that doing faceted search (eg to filter for languages, or library versions) is not at all documented. i've tried multiple times and failed. if someone from Algolia is reading this, we could really use your help there, it would greatly increase the experience of all docs via docusaurus and improve Algolia integration.
My company sends a newsletter once a month. We're selling roasted coffee. This single day account for 20-30% of our monthly revenue. In fact email is our single best performing channel. Hope this info helps.

EDIT: I should also add that we're combining every newsletter with some "offer" e.g. we make a new blend or roast couple of bags of some coffee we don't typically stock. We're also keeping it very personal - it's literally just a plain text email (we've got this new thing on stock, here's what we've been up to and here's some new content on blog - have a great month.)
I think we can take a look at things like anorexia to see some example of what the effects might be. Some young adult women only had a short phase that they "grew out of" and some struggle with it to this day.
As with every other "simple solution" to a complex problem there are a few flaws:

a) google will have to require a credit card in order to open an email

b) person opening an email account must actually have a line of credit, e.g.: many of the people mentioned in the OP will not have it

c) opens a new attack vector on google accounts, e.g.: people who secured their emails using 2FA app for example can now be attacked via a credit card process
Then it opens up a backdoor for malicious (or socially engineered) library staff to access email accounts.

I would hope that libraries would have fixed IP addresses, so surely that could be factored into the authentication process?

The option to work anywhere is nice, I have a dock that I just plug one cable into my macbook and the entire setup lights up and is ready to go. But sometimes i want to work from the living room, or work at a coffee shop etc. and all i have to do to enable that is just unplug that cable and put my laptop in my bag. It's some pretty nice freedom to be able to do that.

Textbooks and teaching classes still emphasize that hydrogen atoms cannot be located with x-rays close to heavy elements; instead, neutron diffraction is needed. We show that, contrary to widespread expectation, hydrogen atoms can be located very accurately using x-ray diffraction, yielding bond lengths involving hydrogen atoms (A–H) that are in agreement with results from neutron diffraction mostly within a single standard deviation"""

I don't think SES is particularly hard to use. That being said, there are a huge number of caveats:

* Email HTML is gnarly. Hope you like tables. The vast majority of web developers aren't equipped to write email HTML for something as simple as a button and have it render correctly in all email clients.

* Things get much more complicated when you need to email a large number of people (say 10s of thousands - very real for a lot of newsletters) and want to both personalize your content (e.g. add unsubscribe links) and not take 30 minutes to email all your subscribers.

* The metrics you get with SES are extremely barebones. Makes Sendgrid look incredible, and that's saying something. Deliverability and inboxing will be even more of a black box than usual.

There's a pretty common street fighting move of stomping with the forward foot while you throw a punch. An untrained opponent will glance down and you pop them during the saccade. It's even explicitly part of the "proper" technique in some martial arts that allow both hand and foot strikes.

Hmm. Please could you explain further? I'm genuinely curious what costs you associate with Hashicorp products.
I agree that we should build sidewalks and (protected) bike lanes to go everywhere cars can go.

If we do this, I still expect it to cost less than the corresponding road network built for cars. I also don't think in this utopian hypothetical that people would choose to drive their car every time simply because the road cost more.
In some sense, it's no accessible just like Google and Facebook in China. Or you can say Tiktok does not operate inside China because there's another China specific version Douyin (from the same company).

Unless the hype cycle continues + major efforts to improve k8s, I personally don't see it last.
I think the goal for them is to replace cars, or rather make transit actually possible in low density. I used to have a commute where I could walk 15 minutes + take a bus for an hour with connection, or I could drive 17-20min. Reading on the bus is nice but there's no way I'm walking almost a mile and taking 3+ times longer. Scooters made it much more practical to get to the bus, or even cut out the connection and make it 12min by scooter + 25min by bus.

I think you're right to point out how much ground k8s covers and to replace every vertical that it integrates could be challenging/costly. But k8s is not a zero-cost abstraction, so I think the calculus here is often more nuanced.

In the case of my org, we optimized for the features we thought were valuable and amortized that effort over time. Notably this was early in k8s history (2014/2015), but the fruits of those efforts have aged well so far (8 years or so). Small code footprint to cover service discovery, cert provisioning, release orchestration, and configuration management. The whole devops stack is less than 3k SLOC. Service ecosystem is ~150 distributed systems, roughly about 5 million SLOC, running on just over 1k servers on AWS.

I think if the aim is not to completely replace what k8s does, but to cherry pick the features that give you some pareto distribution of value, sometimes its worth it to build in-house. Nothing wrong of course with going with k8s for many orgs, but in our case we didn't have to reinvent the whole wheel to live without it.

Sure, that’s the other side of that coin I was talking about. :-)

Personally, I suspect that people who incorrectly self-diagnose are desperate and grasping at straws. They misdiagnose themselves because proper diagnostics are really hard to get in for.

However, I would be willing to bet that people who misdiagnose themselves with DID still have some other underlying mental health condition that they are misunderstanding.
I think the cause may be wanting a way to opt out of the pressure cooker that modern life is.

I'm disabled (I have MS), and the one benefit to it is that I have a 'get out of social expectations free' button I can push if things get too difficult. If I'm not feeling well, it's acceptable for me to cancel plans, call off work, make sub-optimal decisions (putting my health above my earning capacity, etc.).

In short, disabled people are allowed to be fallible, have needs, and make mistakes. I think that the kids feel under too much pressure and want a release valve for it. An invisible disability gives them a 'this is too hard, I need out' button. Disabled people are also given some empathy, and that is at a major premium right now.
My company (and sector for that matter) is typically 10 years behind the mainstream, so we're just transitioning a giant legacy monolith to kubernetes/micro-services now (literally installing Longhorn today).

To be honest, even with the technical overhead it'll probably solve a lot of problems for us from a workflow perspective. We've (the engineers) been arguing for more component-level testing for years (as opposed to the all-up E2E testing we're required do now, which typically turns into component-level testing anyway), and containerizing everything is a good excuse to push it into reality. It'll also make deployments a lot easier (just roll back to X image if there's a problem). Right now we have tens of thousands of lines of hand-written deployment scripts that manage everything and have to be maintained, and intimate knowledge of how they work is often limited to who wrote it (many of whom are no longer with the company), and if there's a problem you have to do surgery on the environment. Kubernetes will give us a unified deployment architecture with problems you can google.
Trimodal distribution in full display there, wow.

Also, the "anonymization" of companies is so specific as to be almost useless. There's only one ride sharing company with an office in Amsterdam AFAIK, just as there are not all that many internationally operating social networks there. It would be better to just spell out the names I think.

Classism via Internet.

When Uber and Lyft became popular and you still needed a smartphone and mobile connection to use it, it basically became a way to keep poor people segregated in transportation. If you couldn't afford a smartphone, or a data plan, or only sporadically, you were relegated to the public transportation options which are slowly defunded as Lyft and Uber lobby governments to become the "more affordable" alternative to public transit. As a result, 'hacks' (illegal taxis) are widely used in many cities because you don't need a smartphone or data plan and they are cheaper, yet are more dangerous.

Mega-corporations that design for "the 80% of users" implicitly make life harder for vulnerable and poor people. It's time for us to not only hold Government accountable to treat people well, we have to hold Corporations accountable to the same standards (at minimum).

(as an aside: I love the Free Library of Philadelphia. they get out in the city and meet all kinds of people, help them get access, always generous with their time and friendly. they are a vital service to the community and I hope Google listens to them)

Fairy tails is essentially teaching kids to stay away from bad influences. Telling to not go into the forest alone because X/Y/Z might happen is not far from telling to not go into a bad neighbourhood or visit a certain kid. And fairy tales did happen in pretty much any culture for thousands of years.
Yes, they absolutely do work. I regularly get 40-60% open rate on my newsletters. As long as you're not spamming them daily with useless messages. Email is the most engaged medium. With Twitter, FB or Instagram, you're lucky if even 1% of your followers read your message.

Indeed. From what I've read, Chinese Tik Tok looks nothing at all like what gets served up in the West.

I'd imagine that for China, US/Western Tik Tok is a literal treasure trove of useful information on the state of practically every facet of US/Western life and culture. Oh the subtle and untraceable mischief you could get up to by just turning a few knobs.

Ask HN: Is embedded text within images now selectable (OCR?) on iOS?

It looks good as well. At the same time, all these plastic materials are petroleum based products we are piping our drinking water through, although we likely have no choice for this century at least.
I just wrote a controller that does pretty much that – spawn containers on demand and report back status changes. While this solution does require some knowledge, it so far has been perfectly reliable and reasonably fast. I can fathom the need for processes to spawn and tear down faster in specific use cases than the Kubernetes scheduler would allow for, but for us a few seconds of wait time has been perfectly reasonable.

> at least we don’t have conservative judges running the country.

Oh we have that here as well, though I'm not sure about "conservative". Where I live, the supreme federal court is the legislative power. People vote representatives to propose laws but the judges of the supreme court are the ones who ultimately define what the law means in practice it and they use that power to legislate in what has been termed "judicial activism".

I've seen cases where the judges openly acknowledged in writing that according to the law the defendant was innocent, then proceeded to condemn them anyway because what they did offended their personal morals and therefore "deserved repression".

My first work visit to silicon valley was during the democratic primaries in 2016. Most people there were supporting Bernie Sanders. While me, being from Eastern Europe, could see through him quite easily.

Day jobs take up so much of your time theres none left to focus on your projects. Especially if your job wears you out and by the time you get home the only thing you have energy to do is eat dinner and shower. I finally just quit my day job, i do have some income i get from a rental property i own so that allowed me a safety net. But for those without any safety net it’s difficult. Maybe if you live with parents and can just work a part time job somewhere then dedicate 30 hours a week to your projects.

The extra scholarship opportunities etc. would just be icing.
