One of my assumptions is that it also has a lot
to do with the humans metabolism that changes
over the years.

That theory makes sense to me. However, my anecdotal experience is that I never tried any of these meds until my early 30's.

The first few weeks on Adderall were f'ing magical. I remember tearing up, I was so happy. Finally I was laser-focused. A bit emotional thinking of it now.

The magic faded fast. Adderall was still a large net positive for me for ~6-7 years. But never like those first few weeks. I guess I got somewhat close to that original experience a few times, after extended breaks from Adderall and restarting it.

Anyway, this is of course a sample size of 1. But since all the experiences described above took place in my 30s I don't think that metabolism change was a major factor. Certainly not within the first year. Again I know... n=1 =)

You're like 1 year behind the news. Last year Tesla was adding CCS chargers. They have like 5 now. This year, Ford and others promised to use Tesla plugs on their vehicles and Tesla promised to open their network to other manufactures. "Old" CCS vehicles will use CCS-Tesla adapters.
You have a typo of "486DX" in your first line introducing the 486SX.

>> Some commentators speculated that the 486DX vs 486SX marketing thing allowed Intel to sell defective 486s in which the FPU didn't work but if it did that was a tiny tiny number: a rounding error.

It was a significant amount of chips at the time, since the 486 was still new and the FPU is somewhere around 30% of the die, it would come out to a lot of them. They was also an overlap of the DX die with FPU disabled and SX die both being shipped at the same time.

Ask HN: Looking for an Alternative to Spreedly
Hi. I'm looking for a payment orchestration solution where I could achieve the following payment flow:

1) redirect the customer to a PCI compliant page

2) have them input their card info

3) block the purchase depending on issuing bank

4) have the platform do 3DS for me

5) have the platform try capturing the money on a couple of gateways until it succeeds

So far I've found Spreedly to check most boxes, but as I'm implementing the 3DS part I can't help but think how complex and unnecessary it is. With Stripe I can just redirect to a Stripe-hosted page, and I'm done. With Spreedly I need to contact the gateway to get ABIN -> make Merchant Profile -> make SCA provider -> write JS to handle all the 3DS flows. I hate it.

Is there an alternative which actually supports the above scenario, where I could just send a request from the backend, receive a URL to redirect to and send the customer there?

Thanks
EVGo already charges a $3.99 session fee. I made the mistake of topping up a EV rental without reading the fine print.

BTW, Tesla charges $12.99/mo for access to the SuperCharger network for non-Tesla brands. The $/kW rate is pretty competitive and just .05-.10 higher than the residential depending on time of day.

Your server and DB are both UTC. If not, that's something you just need to fix. The server can then calculate the difference trivially. Then you no longer need to do anything on the client.

If security is non-negotiable, the only solution is to destroy the data so that it can't be ever recovered by anybody. Or even better not having any data in the first place.

Securing some data is very important. Some data indeed shouldn't exist in the first place. But for a lot of data it matters very little. Most security breaches have rather mild consequences.

Treating all data as megatopsecret and all security breaches as end of the company produces not only unproductive systems, but bad security.

If you are talking about Rocky Flats, wasn't that related to nuclear weapons production? It's plutonium, not uranium.

Nassim Taleb's Concepts of Mediocristan and Extremistan, Uncle Points & Optionality. i.e the Incerto Book Collection.

My biggest regret in life so far is that I did not start studying his work earlier. (I first got into his work when I was 18 and seriously at 25.)

His books & ideas have changed my entire world view. If I had read him earlier I would exactly know.

a) What activities I should spend my time on and those I should spend less time on.

b) How I should have structured my career & a curation of what skills I should have accumulated.

c) What I should have done with the first serious amount of money I made.

d) What risks I should have taken and those I should not have taken.

The entire body of work gave me an insight into the disorganised thinking I was prone to. It exposed me to things (I did) that I didn't even know we're mistakes.

The books also offered me actual solutions to dilemmas I was constantly encountering in life.

If I read the body of work seriously earlier say in my mid teens. I would genuinely be so far in life satisfaction.

I genuinely think that people that read & understand the Incerto genuinely have an edge in life.

If I had kids, I would prepare them to start studying it 13.

Alot of people confuse it for a finance book. But it's really a philosophy book about, business, ethics, productivity, history, & above all decision making that is focused on error avoidance not emergency room surgery.

Ask HN: Can email be a good UX for commenting on blogs?
Dear HN, is sending an email a good UX for commenting on a personal blog?

For context, I hate signing up for stuff, and I don't really expect people to do that just to share their thoughts on a small blog.

Example flow:
1. User reads blog post and see/clicks button "email comment"
2. mailto link opens user's email client, with pre-populated template
3. Comment body + hash of sender address are relayed to me
4. I review the comment, potentially respond if needed, and eventually publish it
5. OPTIONAL: sender gets an automatic reply with a link to view/edit their comment, plus the ability to silence this thread or all threads when there are child comments to theirs.

I was inspired when I saw a professor's blog once, where he would literally just copy and paste emails into his blog posts as an improvised commenting system. I thought this was pretty cool because it's easy, it works, there's automatic moderation, and it also allowed conversations to go back and fourth, privately, before being published.

To me it seemed that a simple improvement would be to automate some parts by building an email relay to handle some of the manual aspects more conveniently.

A sketch of how it would work: comments written as emails would go to a computer somewhere that receives the message body, a hash of the sender's email, and any DMARC + SPF + ARC check statuses. Then that payload is packaged up and relayed to wherever one desires, per configuration or web hook or however you like to do it.

The email itself would need a way of associating the message body with the original blog post, as well as any parent comments that it's replying to. This could all be prepoulated in the payload of mailto link, e.g. paraphrasing a parent comment, url of the blog post in the subject, etc...

Some simple pros that I see are:
1. no sign-up required
2. bring your own client
3. some slight content moderation still possible
4. emails are naturally threaded, so responding is intuitive
5: emails also naturally emulate notifications, e.g. if someone replies to their comment

I would like to develop the idea further, but first I want to see what other people's thoughts are. Is this a BAD idea? Is a POST + verify email link a better flow? Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Figuring out your goals is key here. There are lots of providers all over the spectrum, so narrowing the options is key.

Location is clearly important. Where do you want your datacenter(s) and do you want all locations managed by the same company or different companies.

Electrical reliability: some sites are fed from multiple substations, have a well maintained battery room, redundant generators, well tested transfer switches... and some don't. Automatic transfer switches tend to be a SPoF though, and a major provider, doing everything right, is likely to have an outage at one of their facilities due to a transfer switch failure once every 3-10 years, and afterwards, there will be an unavoidable scheduled maintenance to replace it (unless it had to be replaced during the outage). Maybe there's a new way to install transfer switches redundantly though?

HVAC reliability: HVAC needs electricity too, so see the previous one, but servers don't like to be hot, what are their plans for when HVAC equipment fails.

Network reliability: if you're at a carrier neutral site, you'll get fiber to your rack from your upstreams and then it's all up to you or them. If your provider is your transit, do they deliver redundant connections (lacp), do they run redundant connections all the way to their border router, redundant connections to their upstreams, do they have multiple upstreams, will they pull fiber from an upstream carrier to your rack. Do they participate in the local peering exchange? Also, have a capacity in mind.

Remote hands / physical access is important. If you have a lockable rack, do all the racks have the same key? IPMI can avoid a lot of physical time on the machines, but not all of it.

In addition to all of these, there's a what they say, and what's actually the case, and if they'll let you inspect / audit.

There's no wrong answers on these, I have my personal hosting at a facility with probably wishy washy answers to everything and I have low trust, but it's cheap and I don't need nine nines. Other people need all the reliability. Or something in between.

You mean Cloudflare can't at all blame Flexential for:

1) not informing CF of unplanned maintenance on electrical

2) not informing CF that they had failed over to generator due to a ground fault on their PGE transformer

3) not informing CF that ALL their generators failed and were on backup batteries

4) not informing CF that power had completely failed within the DC

5) notifying CF that anything at all had happened for 48 minutes (which was after all the UPS batteries had died)

Yes, this is a one sided analysis. I haven't seen the Flexential one (is there one?).

I had a Spark EV with CCS connector and charged around the Bay Area many times. Apparently my model of car had design issues with the connector and half the time I'd have to try a different charging station. I mostly charged at home but this was annoying when doing local road trips.

Currently renting an Ioniq 5 in Florida (cost barely more than a petrol vehicle). Aside from a lack of L3 chargers near Indian Shores, the closest Electrify America near me was perpetually busy and one of the chargers was out of commission. Edit: the L2 chargers nearby require an app, need a payment method added, and require minimum top-ups (waste of money for a rental). And the closest one near me is out of commission anyway.

Compare this to my anecdotal Tesla situation: rented a Model 3 a couple of years ago and every time I'd plug in it would work perfectly (and no need to authenticate or deal with payment).

I love driving EVs but the fast charging situation must be rectified. My old Spark would only do 130 km on a charge and this new Ioniq does 450 km, so less of an issue. But for road trips, messing around with unreliable chargers is a non-starter for a lot of folks.

The systems definitely have a method to communicate for payments, they should add a button to report issues with charger.

VBA has a few interesting things in common with Javascript:

1. The development environment is already installed.

2. The platform does a lot. Being able to program using Office components or program using browser components gives the programmer a lot to work with.

3. The platform extends into a "real" programming environment - VBA is a gateway drug to C# and all the other MS developer tools. Just like learning JS in the browser eventually turns into, can use my JS skills for writing other code on my machine?

Programmable platforms have historically been really important to adoption and longevity in the enterprise. The emergence of REST APIs as features on many web apps fills a lot of this gap for SaaS.
My experiences as well. In the long run for me, meds are a small part of the solution.

Rivian bricks infotainment systems in 'fat finger' fiasco
For the areas I help maintain, some of the new features include...

Better support for `Int128`, `UInt128`, `IntPtr`, and `UIntPtr` throughout the codebase, particularly in `BinaryPrimitives` for endianness handling.

`IUtf8SpanFormattable` and `IUtf8SpanParsable`, allowing types to be directly parsed/formatted as UTF8

Standard APIs for `Lerp` (Linear Interpolation), `DegreesToRadians`, and `RadiansToDegrees`

Removing the `where T : struct` constraint from the `Vector` types so they can better be used in generic code paths (this doesn't expand the set of supported `T`, it just means you can use the type if the `IsSupported` check returns `true`)

Support for SIMD on Wasm.

Support for AVX-512 on x86/x64

New throw helpers on `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` (`ThrowIfZero`, `ThrowIfNegative`, `ThrowIfEqual`, `ThrowIfGreaterThan`, etc)

New APIs on `Span`/`ReadOnlySpan` for searching/finding data (`ContainsAny`, `ContainsAnyExcept`, `CointainsAnyInRange`, `Count`, `IndexOfAny`, `IndexOfAnyExcept`, `LastIndexOf`, `Split`, etc)

New APIs on `Random` in the form of `GetItems` and `Shuffle`

and so much more in areas maintained by others on the team as well (collections, json, WinForms, ASP.NET, etc)
> At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself about what your hourly rate is. If you are going to spend a 20 hour premium per week bandaging up a "free" .NET toolchain, whereas the official, $100/m stack costs you 1-2 hours, which one actually costs you more?

Also the official stack is supposedly supported, which means you can contact Microsoft if you have an issue.

In practice, you get some underpaid outsourced employee in the chat, who is just going to follow their script - so it is more effective to go to Visual Studio feedback or Github, depending on the issue.

Yup.

I was at GitHub Universe last week. It's very clear GitHub (Microsoft) is trying to become like AWS but for the SDLC instead of for runtime.

Soon we'll all be using GitHub full-time to do all our coding in the browser with integrated runtime envs and CI and AI along for the ride. You get a taste with some fancy OSS demo projects which they do legitimately support. Then you want to integrate with those OSS libraries, so you have to dip your toes into GitHub's ecosystem. And if you want updates and security and to not have public repos ... then time to pony up.

GitHub does support OSS in real ways, but it's pretty obviously a loss-leading marketing / freemium strategy. It's not surprising they give themslves a pat on the back - it's marketing after all. This is not a bad or even amoral thing, but let's not be naive.

They're eating their competitors' lunch. Many of the vendors at GitHub Universe had feature-sets that had clear overlap with GitHub's own ambitions, particularly in the security space. GitHub can and will put them out of business when the opportunity strikes. These ambitions are clear. C'est la vie.

What's less clear is how developer-friendly the ecosystem will remain when everything is locked into GitHub's world,. And it's even less clear how they will ratchet up pricing (or ratchet down interoperability or industry standards) as more gets sucked in.

It is an enterprise B2B company and a part of Microsoft, for better and for worse.
