AFIK the "main" use of study drugs is to be able to study longer not better.

General more studying isn't better the more you do it. You need to do it right and that involves having enough brakes to let your brain digest. In turn many situations where study drugs are used are such where the user already doesn't expect high efficiency.

I would argue that any situation where it's not uncommon for pre-university students to take study drugs are a fundamental failure of the education system/society. Often by a mixture of not properly teaching how to learn and also by forcing stupid forms of "homework" or "skill evaluation" which encourage bad learning practices and kill of any efficiency.

For university students the same should hold, the problem is that we have some areas where you will have problems getting around bad learning practices due to their nature. I believe with todays technology we could solve many of such problems (not even considering the new AI stuff) but in practice we have not. Anyway non of this applies to pre-university content.

EDIT: I disagree wrt. the caffein, it does hurt and has negative side effect on learning but as long as you don't compare quite long time periods without _any_ coffeine with coffein usage it's hard to notice.

I think what the parent is alluding to, is the fact that, Googling something and ending up on a Lemmy instance that is not your local one. You can, in fact, not comment on these instances. You must access it through your local instance (e.g. lemmy.world/c/community@remote.com).
Seemed like most of the examples would just be due to sloppy implementation / a lack of testing edge cases? This is a good lesson to take away I guess, but "defensive CSS" isn't how I see it. It just sounds like thoughtful, intentional, and correct CSS is what's missing in those examples.

Maybe this is obvious to me from having built website builders and themes for them, but when making a product that displays unknown, potentially user-generated content, it's to be expected that the content will be different from the boilerplate designs. Working around edge cases like image aspect ratios and words/sentences of varying length are a core part of the UI's development process.
Now I'll need to go through my collection of ancient Greek textbooks from the 1940s to see if they would take any of those ...
a) Meta had similar swings of over 3x between a 2021 high and a 2022 low. We can only guess what Twitter would be worth today if the stock was floated, but it isn’t. Substituting market valuations with our personal beliefs isn’t interesting.

b) Every social media company has a well populated graveyard of failed experiments behind them.

c) Opinion.

d) Business as usual for every social media company since the dawn of time.

e) Opinion. And advertiser behaviour suggests otherwise.

f) History is littered with new entrants which fail to unseat the incumbent. It does happen, but it’s statistically rare.
It's more complex than that.

For example even if you have a "contractor contract", but you only work for one client, you could be considered an employee.
And the Chilean miners trapped for a couple of months back in 2010? The fact that all I need to do to remind you of the event is mention 'Chilean miners' should be sufficient evidence to prove an exception to your proposed rule.
They decided to further mod the controller for no reason with longer sticks, maybe to make it look less like the toy it is which actually reduces the dead spot response of an analog joystick. Why? What the fuck.

I would assume to allow more precise control - longer sticks will give you a smaller input for the same amount of travel and require more travel to achieve the same input.
Some sure. I see UK startups that hire EU "contractors" to ramp up, and it works well. Even in the relatively free-wheeling UK there are limits though. There's usually 2-year limit to the contract, for reasons perceived or real.
That's great! Charities/organizations need volunteers from all backgrounds. Not everybody wants to volunteer by getting their hands dirty so a social media volunteer is a great position with more willing people.
At least with Edge and Crave they changed the UI so someone wouldn't necessarily know it's a clone unless they were familiar with both synths.

I kind of wonder if this was an intentional decision for Behringer or if Moog trademarked their interface and thus forced Behringer to do something different?
Not a mental drug. but simethicone has virtually no side effects. It relieves gas by lowering the surface tension of the bubbles in your gut (so you can burp them out easier). But I don't think there's enough evolutionary pressure for Good At Burping to become a favored human trait.
I recently converted an entire React / TypeScript frontend to LiveView (will open-source the project soon). I've gone much faster with LiveView. Something which use to take me 4-5 weeks to build with React / TypeScript now takes 4-5 days.

The main reason for that is, the LiveView test framework is super simple to work with. I didn't write any tests when I was doing React / TypeScript just because it seemed so cumbersome to setup. Having a test suite that works out of the box made me write more tests for my front-end.

Not having to build API endpoints for my react components is also a huge accelerator in productivity.

In the end I ended up writing less code, with more polished / well tested front-end.

You can watch the video of what I built with LiveView here https://instellar.app
I think they can't even send it un-manned because it is not externally controllable. From what I understood in footage of a previous "mission", all is operated on board and there is nothing the ship crew can do appart from communicating (when it still works).
I don't think the GP is the original poster, so them claiming how they "personally" differentiate between the two does not make the submission title a lie.

We don't know how original poster differentiates.
That is not globally enforced.
> Maybe one day we will get a drug that enhances mental function, that works effectively and has no real downsides. I think that could be a great boon to society. I don't think it exists yet though, or that we are even really making any progress.

Adderall (correctly dosed) is precisely this.
I would like to see that study too. I would consider the results of both studies valuable for different reasons.

The three most used desktop operating systems look and feel archaic. They aren't very different from the oses of two decades ago.

The station was built to include Sweden in the RCA transatlantic communication system. I suspect it was a bit redundant by the time it got built as they worked out that short waves worked better than long waves for wireless propagation.
The robot says it's not a robot. I'd say it's lacking self awareness.
There are memory map and SFR differences. I bet it's similar to how Linux on Arm/PowerPC/MIPS handle it with device trees.
Oops. I blame the napkin.

Anyway, with compression it should be a piece of cake. I never quite understood why HDMI even streams pixels and not refresh instructions.

After hyping Swift for Tensorflow, which is yet another reason for the grain of salt.
> The idea is that not all code in your code will be typed.

All Python code is always typed; it just might not be annotated. Even then, static analysis tools like mypy are pretty good at inferring types based on the code.
Sure, which lends weight to the idea that the shell should be a more extensive programming language. Then you can pass an arbitrary Predicate<File> to the finder (which would likely just be a convenience function of about 5-20 lines), and receive a list of file objects for you to do what you want with

That's the direction Powershell took, and to some extent was what other OSes were doing at the time of Unix. But Unix has become so ubiquitous and influential that we've forgotten that programs could pass more than ill-specified strings around, and that resources could implement richer interfaces rather than trying to force the file IO interface on every single one, regardless of how little sense that makes

Worse is Better may have been a useful expedience in the 20th century, but we're long overdue repaying that technical dept, to get back some of the rich OS/environment features that other camps had got working almost half a century ago. The first step would be to stop putting "Unix philosophy" on a throne
Sure, because this does not happen in commercial aircrafts.

Ask HN: Non-invasive, GDPR compliant/pop-up free ads for a blog
If in the future (near or distant future, probably distant) my 2-cent thoughts at https://gigatexal.blog becomes a daily/weekly destination for some folks I think the traffic might be worth throwing a few tasteful ads on it to pay myself back for the time I put in.

So I got to thinking and after playing with the Google Ads preview of what ads would look like on my blog I went looking for alternatives. But navigating this space is difficult.

Does anyone have any companies/ideas/solutions that fits the title?

I would like an ad setup to be non-invasive, not make me require to have a GDPR popup so not be cookie based I guess, and not slow down my site too much.

I don't care about compensation rates. If Google pays 10 bucks (hypothetical) per 1k impressions and this goldilocks ads platform I am looking for is paying 2 per 1k I'd be fine with that.
I returned to the academia after 15 years in the industry. Copying protobufs for an ad company (or worse) will not get you any meaning of life.
Hmmm, from what I've read subs can get damp because of temperature and pressure changes. All of what you said combined with condensation.
> Theranos is an outright fraud. Not the product of getting things done on fast track

Theranos is product of the same culture. Company founder chases a goal they do not understand, and convinces investors its right around the corner. In actuality they have no clue.

There is no foundamental difference between theranos diagnosis and tesla autopilot.

The only reason we call theranos fraud is that we know conclusively that their goal is impossible. We have not yet accepted that autopilot is.

I just got the cheapest plan, and configured my devices to use Kagi when I prepend a search by "k ".

This way I use whatever free search engine for most searches (like when you type "steam" because you don't remember the url), and Kagi when I actually want more than the simplest first result.
> Those guys are pioneers, they are doing something almost nobody has done before, like going deep down 4 kilometres under the surface of the ocean.

They are rich tourists going down to look at a famous shipwreck, the same as hundreds of actual professionals have done. Much like the rich tourists who are mostly carried up Everest this does not take guts or ability, it takes a fat wallet and nothing more. Actually, it probably takes more ego than intelligence if you get into the craft they took down now that we have learned more about its potential safety flaws.

The nature of the event is why we are paying attention. The people trapped and how it happened is icing on the cake, but we would all still be watching if it was the Alvin submersible and some university researchers inside. To be honest we would probably care more if it was actual professionals who were at risk doing work to expand human knowledge instead of a tourist day-trip; I certainly would actually care about the outcome in that case, while I can't be bothered to care one way or the other if this particular group of tourists lives or dies.
see if you can reproduce what jeff bezos did with amazon :)
I think there is a strong relationship between the average ticket size and payment experience. It is almost like it is the user's problem if the ticket size is high (hence the website need not necessarily invest in creating a good payment experience). Something like insurance websites.

The ones that really seem to think about the payment experience are the ones that have low to medium average ticket size and high transaction volumes. It is in the website's best interest to ensure each and every transaction goes through
Thanks very much for mentioning Astiga. I am the 'author' you mention, but I only just saw this because I only consume HN via Hacker Daily, so I'm a day behind.

When I saw your headline though, I almost choked on my coffee. We use Stripe too, but as you mention we aren't a locker, we just connect to the user's pre-existing cloud storage (including self hosted if you have that Internet accessible). That said these kind of corporate decrees are often pretty unsubtle and we could easily get caught up in this. I've had enough "policy" nightmares with Paypal and Google to instill a sense of dread when these black box titans change their mind about something and expect you to dance to their tune.

> This service is different in that it lets you hook it up to your own cloud storage. I am only now realizing why this is such a brilliant idea.

I should mention it's not my idea originally - I purchased the service almost two years ago from this guy: https://koenvh.nl/en/ . Funny story really: https://community.asti.ga/discussion/378/astigas-new-owner
it can handle part of it, it doesn't solve for a lot of things around compliance and risk. They might help you understand local compliance, but the business still needs to be actually compliant. Just look at the mess Twitter got into trying to downsize their international operations. If you're an american startup, then you have to balance the tradeoff of risk in having international staff that might require considerable thought in managing them, vs having a single compliance profile.

it's relatable. most people have a vivid fear of being trapped somewhere. then empathy kicks in. it's not abstract.
I'll half concede, fair point.

It was a lot of people (more than 30), and IMO wasn't covered as heavily as say, the Thai cave or this may be.

There is definitely a disaster angle news latch onto, but it's pretty rare for a group of adults this small. There are small plane crashes with more fatalities multiple times a year...

And it can't be the 'missing people' angle, there are like 400k kids every year reported missing with less than milk carton coverage...
If you only offer creditcard payments and want international customers, you will missing out on a lot of customers. For example in the Netherlands, iDeal is the standard of payment and many Dutch customers do not have other payment options easily available.

I mean, there's no reason you can't have it both ways? So long as the dropdowns are not some broken custom widget, you can use dropdowns the same way.
. Edit: The bit mentioned above is at 0:37 in this video: https://youtu.be/ClkytJa0ghc?t=37 - "we keep a couple of spares on board just in case", that's great but I'm wondering who in that sub knows how to pair an ancient Logitech gamepad and remap XInput like a kid playing Diablo.

They don't, in the BBC Travel episode "Take Me to Titanic" about this team and their sub, they did a dive with customers and almost had to abort because the controllers stopped working.

Then, when they reached the bottom of the sea, they were stuck going around in circles on the sea floor because the keymappings on the controllers stopped working. They almost had to abort the dive until someone on the surface had troubleshooted the issue and found out that the keys were incorrectly mapped to the sub's controls.

It turned out that the 'left' direction key on the gamepad actually mapped to the 'forward' motion of the submarine, and all of the gamepad controls were incorrectly mapped.

They only found out about the incorrect mapping after a dozen hours underwater and once they reached the seafloor.

It was amateur hour from the get-go.
I recommend starting with a $10/mo plan and treating as if it was unlimited. This is where Kagi is heading anyways. To control cost, Kagi allows you to set soft limit and hard limit so the cost can never spiral out of control.

The newsworthy thing here is that I was amazed to find this in Popular Science. Weren’t CDs killed by streaming media?
Everything as a service is what modern operating systems do actually use under the hood. Look at the Apple stack. macOS/iOS are basically a large collection of RPC-driven microservices, wrapped behind some thin client libraries for convenience and abstraction.

> Blockchains are unnecessary in a world with trusted entities and functional legal frameworks.

This is such bullshit. In practice the banking system is a messed up piece of old crap.

Let me illustrate my point from my experience a few weeks ago: Had to transfer 20 euro's from my account to my sons account, same European bank. In fact, my sons account is also under my supervision. It was on a Saturday, so guess what: no transfers in the weekend! Had to wait until Monday for the money to go through. Yeah, if Monday was a Holiday, we had to wait until Tuesday.

Is that the efficiency your "trusted entities" can come up with? Don't get me started on "instant cross border transfers". If a well known bank can't handle 20 euro's from one account to another, then what do you expect cross-bank, cross-border does?

In contrast, look at the Nano cryptocurrency: 0 fees, sub second transfers, any amount, anywhere in the world.

Your theory of "trusted entities" all sounds nice, but in practice it's old bureaucratic bullshit. Thanks to blockchain the technology has a solution. Only now is still proper adoption.
To me they are entirely different, mirroring represents a pull model, what ActivityPub does is (mostly) push based.
Isn't that like basic story telling? Someone goes on an adventure, then a catastrophe happens and now we are at the most thrilling part: will they make it out alive? And this is a real story, playing out in real time.
Why would people pay 250k to go underwater in a sardine can to watch a wreckage from a tiny window is beyond my comprehension.

That's not how it works out in practice. For example, journalists who have insider info from sources and leak it on the regular don't do anything to prove they have insider information, they build up reputation based on how many predictions they make.

There's no point in outing your sources, that's how you lose them.
We are talking about how poor syntax pushes developers into some strange corners to avoid having to deal with the poor syntax. class ultimately gets you to a decent place, but forces the code into one big giant mess that nobody wants to look at ever again. Prototype function assignment gets you to the same place, with better syntax, but falls short for other reasons.

Given:

class Foo {
constructor(x) {
this.x = x
}

bar() {
return this.x
}
}

maybe it becomes:

object Foo(x) {
this.x = x
}

function Foo.bar() {
return this.x
}
We had a real problem with this a few years back when we hired two people from the Netherlands (from a Ireland-based company) and they immediately offered them a fixed position (instead of the more usual temporary contract), and they both turned out to be net-negative contributors: didn't actually get any work done, and created hassle/problems for others (one was referred by the other, and they were problematic in more or less the same ways, this was at an early stage before we realized the depth of the problems).

But due to offering the "wrong" contract we also couldn't let them go, since that's very difficult (IMHO, too difficult) outside of gross misconduct, and is probably going to be expensive regardless. They also gave me such a contract by the way, as the first Dutch employee, but that wasn't an issue as no one wanted to get rid of me :-) I actually told them that was not a good idea, but after some turnover in the HR department it seems that got lost.

Both left on their own account eventually, but taking in to account their wages, the increased workload for others, the fact that others literally quit the company because of these toxic assholes, by my estimation each individually cost the company well over a millions euro with nothing to show for it (I'm fairly certain zero code of one survived, and very little of the other).
