I had a very similar experience as this author. All throughout high school and college, I was prescribed Adderall. After graduation, I got a job, and realized Adderall wasn't good for me long term, so I switched to coffee. This alone helped with my anxiety, ability to sleep, and social interactions.

After a while, I started to wonder if coffee is good for me also. So I quit cold turkey for a few weeks as an experiment. I couldn't believe the effect it had. I am angry at myself that I didn't just do this earlier. I sleep fine all night now, I don't have to pee as often, my anxiety is basically gone, I feel better about life in general, my brain fog disappeared, and I no longer have "good days and bad days" mentally, just good days.

There is no more powerful drug or therapy in the world than:

1) Exercising regularly.

2) Eating healthy.

3) Quitting the stimulants.
> Governments have successfully addressed housing shortages through publicly developed housing in places like Vienna, Finland, and Singapore in the past, but these examples have typically inspired little attention in the US

Those countries demographics are way different than the US for affordable housing. It’s comparing apples and tennis balls.
Great to know. I watched a bunch of Western movies that were at least set in Teas when I was growing up.
Comment might not be helpful, but it's very true.
It's probably best to treat the articles like these (and the dietary advice in general) as an invitation to experiment and see how it works for your particular case, not as a definitive statement that "X is good for everyone always, Y is bad for everyone always"
> I never found a way for a server to check if the originating request is for an iframe or a new tab.

There is no such technique. One way to distinguish is to pick a URL convention and modify the URL (before the hash) of the iframe URL. For example, add ?iframe=true to the URL, and then have the server check for that. Perhaps more usefully you could include information about the parent URL, e.g. url += '?parent=${document.referrer}'. Or something.
Tangental but as someone who used to have sleep issues but has no intention of ditching coffee, taking Magnesium L-Threonate has utterly transformed the quality of my sleep. Used to wake up a ton in the night, take forever to get to sleep, etc. and now I sleep extremely well and if I'm up in the night it doesn't take me long to get back to sleep.
You first buddy.
Whitespace can be a good thing as you note, but thoughtful allocation distribution is critical, particularly on desktop operating systems. Firefox default isn’t the worst here but it’s also far from the best.

We've done the work for Fedora now. There was a long thread on the subject at the beginning of the effort which is interesting: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fe...
I see... maybe you shouldn't be talking about stuff u clearly have surface level info or twitter opinion about, eh?
If you really ask yourself, then you know what you will be comfortable with, no one else can answer that for you.
I wish this was initially disclosed as an opinion piece rather than reading through it and finding it out in the end.
Riiiiight. (yawn).

Have you ever done any manual work for a living? Worked with any miners in trade unions? Met any actual communists? Maybe worked in Rio Tinto as a labour negotiator?

Some of that might help you sound more grounded an less disconnected from the world as it is.

Scargill was a commnist in his youth, he veered elsewhere on the left later in life - but more to the point here, Scargill was not the trade union, he was a single human being.

Not all miners in trade unions are communist, far from it; and not all actual communists are miners (likely very few), we're in a world of Venn diagrams here and broad reductionist brush strokes don't achieve much beyond polarisation
One way to make URLs printed in books more durable is to submit them to the Internet Archive and then use the archival URLs to include in the printed book instead (kind of how folks here circumvent paywalls..).
I disagree. Leetcode is less representative of your job than code review on a PR. Code reviews are an every day activity that can easily cause outages.

What's your argument that code reviews aren't a good representation of skills?
Well obviously, and I think people can figure that out.

I actually appreciate the more specific details on how the private pictures and videos were actually viewed using terminology from the Wyze app.

For sure. Big challenge with those companies—that I found—is that they want a lot of credentials + proof that are simply outside of the reach of small businesses. So even if you're full-time, it may be a "good luck" scenario.

Although SOC2 is fairly easy to get, it's expensive for bootstrapped founders (maybe $30-45k all in.)

It wasn't enterprise, but the 600 person company (that I knew very well) simply wouldn't work with us in the end because we were too small (2 of us.) It sucked, a lot, because the deal cycle took about 18 months to get to a firm no. Since then, everyone involved has left the company
I mean that one was pretty obvious. Why on earth send a bit.ly link in every email? You have a-hrefs in email, so the link doesn’t even need to be shortened.

> I got some very technical folks on the phone, but all they could say was that everything looked 100% fine and that something we were sending was tripping the spam filters

This “we won’t tell you what triggered it because it helps the spammers” is… questionable, and it feels like security by obscurity. Yes, it may help the spammers a little but not possibly enough to warrant the black hole of debugging legit issues.

The right way to fight spammers isn’t about arms racing with hyper-advanced content filtering. Instead, we need to make it uneconomical.

Not all coffees are the same. Some types of drip coffees (such as Tim Hortons) make me wonder if it's laced with cocaine.
A significant amount of zoning is about what type of housing you can build where, how much of it you can build, and how you have to build it.

For example, in Berkeley California, which was one of the first cities to implement "exclusionary zoning" has roughly the following zoning restrictions:

* R-1: One home per lot or estate, only. Bans apartments in 49% of the city.

* R-1A: One home per lot or estate, unless the parcel exceeds 2,400 SF which allows for an additional home.

* R-2: Two homes on one parcel, only.

* R-2A: One home per every 1,650 square feet on a parcel. A typical residential parcel in Berkeley is about 5,300 square ft thus commonly three homes maximum.

To me, there is just a class of people who are simply out of touch with reality.

While I could afford the monthly payment on a $41k car, I would never do that when I would be starting my comparison with a $16k Nissan Versa.

Then on top of that, there are many who would be starting with a Nissan Versa because they simply can't afford an EV even if they wanted to.

EV discussion always ends up being what the best espresso maker is when a huge % of the population is just going to buy the cheapest coffee maker they can because they are too broke to buy much else.
Scalable pricing is one of the core issues we encountered with existing search solutions. While the details for pricing are still TBD, we do want to make sure to lower the barrier to entry to that earlier-stage startups have a simple and affordable way to integrate their first search solution.
A lot do and I think the brain shrinkage happens even with smaller doses.
This article is a joke. The apartments mentioned have a 1BR starting at $2,125. And it doesn't seem to be 'public housing' as much as it seems to be 'publicly subsidized private housing.'
From an ecological perspective, farming is probably better than fishing wild species no?

The Kremlin has never been richer – thanks to a US strategic partner – CNN
You're accusing Odysseus of being a bloodthirsty asshole because he "stood by" while someone else killed a bunch of sleeping soldiers and because he, himself, killed the suitors who ganged up against him yelling "he's just one man, guys, let's get him" (liberally translated)? Clearly, we do not have the same definition of "bloodthirsty".

Which of the warriors were not bloodthirsty? Ajax, for example, was not bloodthirsty, who stood strong with his shield and without the help of the gods, a defensive bullwark for the Acheans. Hector, was not bloodthristy, who was just trying to defend his city and his people from the calamity brought on by his idiot brother who couldn't keep it in his pants. Aeneas was not bloodthirsty, who escaped the burning Troy to found Rome. Patroklus was not bloodthirsty but was just trying to save his friend's honour (by killing people, no doubt, but in the middle of a war).

Achilles killed Hector and dragged his dead body behind his chariot to desecrate it. He refused to hand it over to Priam, Hector's father, the king of Troy, when he, an old man, came begging on his knees in grief asking for Achilles to do the right thing by the gods. Achilles was an asshole. It is a disgrace that an entire epic poem was written for his "rage". Screw his rage.

Edit: remember also that Achilles was the only one of the Achean lords that didn't have to fight, because he hadn't taken the oath at Menelaus' and Helen's wedding (he was living as a girl at the time). He accepted the invitation to go to the war for glory- the glory of killing men. What a glory. Unlike the rest, he did not leave behind wife and children, and loyal dogs and slaves, because he had none to leave (though he did have a wife, I think). Not to mention: he was invulnerable (mostly) so he could cover himself in guts and glory without fear. Yeah, what a great hero.

With fundamental errors like this it's no wonder design improvements are rejected by the author:

> Furthermore, the effect of many motions and text objects is obvious; visual confirmation is often completely unnecessary. Deleting the current word, sentence, or parentheses block does not involve uncertainty

But it does, there is plenty of uncertainty: you can have a long sentence that wraps multiple lines, includes quotes and maybe code snippets with . inside them or just ..., so you can't easily tell where a sentence begins and where it ends.

Or even in the "simplest" case of a word selector - you can have have customizable word separators that depend on context, e.g., a valid function name is a single word even if it contains a comma in its name, so you have to keep in mind scope to guess correctly what a word motion will select

Not that big of a deal in case of a single text object, but then this gets worse with multiple cursors, so instead of doing the sometimes complicated guesswork of what objects your action would apply to you can just select, get immediate visual feedback, and proceed from there.
Car Privacy Is Horrid
> That seems like a problem in our legal system though.

The civil legal system is designed to settle essentially private disputes between parties. It is not really a matter of public interest whether my neighbour or I bear the liability for the tree branch that hits my parked car during a storm.

Your discomfort arises because the actions of large companies are matters of public interest, such that a notionally 'private' dispute can still affect hundreds of thousands of people.

Class-action lawsuits are one way to shoehorn this sort of dispute into the court system, but the other way is regulation. Depending on the framework, regulators can issue orders themselves or bring court cases for the sake of public interest. Unfortunately, good, timely, and competent regulation is its own hard problem.
Mutable global variables online work for linear code with no concurancy.

Having code be tree like or at least a DAG is how you resolve what is probably most easily visualized as dependency hell.

This is why many modern patterns try and steer people into having their domain logic centered and compromised of idempotent functions.

And while they didn't know why back then, it is why accounting has used immutable events for over 500 years.

The notion of free variable is another lens to think about it.
It’s actually hard to find brands that don’t use the water method if you buy “freshly” roasted beans. Unless you go super budget, medium budget beans like Peets, SF bay, etc use water process method.
Electricity pricing is set to change to lower volume rates paired with a high up front cost to be connected to the grid. We'll see how the lower marginal cost changes consumer behavior.
Zoning limits the density of housing. I live near an area that used to be rural, now is suburban, and zoning around here often requires more than 1 acre per house.

The major developers are able to figure out how to rezone and build houses on less than a quarter acre, but if you wanted to do it on a small scale (i.e. buy an old house on 4 acres, tear it down, and build a small subdivision instead) it's just not practical.

In more urban areas, it can be similar. But rather than requiring 1 acre per house, the restriction is that you can't build multi-family, etc.

Some comments about dietary science are true. It is extremely impossible to isolate the effect of a single substance (ethically).

This person greatly benefited from stopping caffeine intake which is great. It is part of the journey to understand ourselves and what makes us work/improve/feel better.

If you have a anxiety-o-meter that looks like this:
[-----------------------------------]

and your baseline is here:
[-------------------------X---------] - you just need a little push to go into anxiety/can't sleep mode which can come from caffeine.

But if your baseline is around here:
[--x--------------------------------] -maybe some coffee in the morning, right after lunch will greatly increase your clarity/make you able to fulfill your duties.
People who drink caffeine for pleasure (I love the taste of coffee and sometimes I get beans so good that I just want to drink several cups) will notice the negative effect in their sleep/anxiety levels.
We must go back to Paracelsus 'dosis sola facit venenum'. The dose makes the poison.

Real answer: customers don’t give an damn and break and steal them.
I've been on the decaf wagon for a good few years now, I can't say it helped me out with anxiety or productivity but I can echo the sentiment that I can sleep within minutes. Also not relying on caffeine to keep me going pretty much forces me to sleep at a reasonable time.

The hardest thing about giving up caffeine has to be the immediate effects. Your body takes it as a massive shock and you're stuck with what feels like a migraine for 2 days. Not fun.

I know decaf still has some caffeine in it, but it's a compromise for something different – for a month of cold turkey I thought I had cravings for caffeine, but it turned out it was hot drinks I was after. I think it's the one luxury I couldn't be without.
Ha I dunno, maybe? No indication..defo seems to have styled himself after him
Which is that you couldn't care less, evidently.
Can we attach an attack vector to the book cover? Sure. I wouldn't let that USB anywhere near my computer if I'd bought it let alone a library copy of it.

I'm with the author on this one. Any code needed to for it be useful should be printed in the book (perhaps complete code in an appendix rather than right there in the chapter). That said I haven't bought a programming book in years.
My father died of lung cancer. I also ran a failed medical tourism company which sent people to get this treatment in Cuba. More modern versions of the Cuban treatment are now few approved in the USA as immunotherapy. Didn’t save my dad
Seems like the author is a slow metabolizer like me. Interestingly enough, it seems that the caffeine half life can be shortened by eating broccoli (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17266520/) - by having coffee in the mornings and broccoli with dinner I've been able to enjoy the mood boosting effects of caffeine during the day and still be able to sleep fine.

Sleep quality aside though, I thought my anxiety was due to stressful job, but maybe it's due to all the caffeine I have in an attempt to be productive.. perhaps something to experiment with myself.

Ask HN: Curiosity-driven Business-adjacent Podcast Recommendations like Metamuse
I really enjoyed the concept of the Metamuse podcast. It brought a few unique concepts together that made it really special, in my mind. It had a very similar appeal to me, as HN has -- for all the same reasons.

Their range of topics was coherent enough to keep me interested, but also diverse enough to allow me to learn about completely new perspectives. They covered everything from their business approach, to novel technologies, to creativity techniques.

The hosts, Mark McGranaghan and Adam Wiggins, are both highly knowledgeable and experienced as entrepreneurs and as engineers. On top of that, they were able to secure some fascinating people and renowned experts as guests.

This combination made for highly insightful but casual conversations that felt very much open-ended and driven mainly by curiosity.

Overall, I found their shows to be very mentally stimulating and satisfying to listen to.

Unfortunately, they stopped producing new episodes after their downsizing, recently.

Are there similar shows that you can recommend?

As a person with willpower/focus issues, I've found caffeine to be a godsend in college. I've started using so much I've switched to caffeine pills to save money.
At first I was taking 200mg in the morning to wake up, 100mg every couple of hours to get me through the lectures, and another 200mg at home to study.

It went well, and I became one of the best students in my class, but my anxiety went over the roof. I became irritable, angry, unpleasant, started shouting at my girlfriend over small meaningless issues, and eventally alienated my whole friend circle. My tolerance also went up - at some point I was taking 1000-1500mg of caffeine a day.

I remember one morning I couldn't get up, so I took 200mg pill and lied back to bed, then woke up again and couldn't get up, so I took 200mg more, and then 200mg more, and so on... I finally woke up after 1000mg. In public transit, I felt sick and my heart was pounding so much I thought I would get a heart attack. I couldn't eat the whole day and I felt sick like never before in my life.

After that I never went back on the caffeine pills again. I still drink coffee because I find it hard to function without it, and I'm trying to quit. But for some tasks, caffeine is simply too powerful to go without. Working out without caffeine feels just lame.

Anyways, thanks for reading my blogpost in the HN comments. Hopefully someone finds this anegdote entertaining.
yes hand the amount of times Firefox has done so in the last few years is also just a handful (like less then 1 time per year in average)

And some of this notifications where really reasonable to have like the containers. (Except the color thingy, that was some nonsense.)

The only exception is if you somehow end up in a situation where the browser (profile) is for whatever reason frequently fully reset, in which case you might have seen the same notification multiple times.
I've found this out the hard way. I don't drink caffeine on days with meetings or drink it after the meetings end and it really helps with anxiety.

I've also started drinking decaf on some days and there's at least 1 day a week I don't drink any coffee at all. This gives my body a chance to reset.
Agreed. Also, like all drugs and food in general, we all respond very differently to them, have different habits, different associations and different relationships with them. I personally had to quit alcohol, coffee and weed when I was battling a year-long stomach issue. I'm now on the other side and can confidently say that not drinking coffee was a net negative for me. I didn't feel more alert, I didn't sleep better and I didn't feel less anxious. In fact, I was generally much less alert and productive. My coffee habit is more or less where it was before my health issues. Alcohol wise, I'm also back at the same frequency but much lower volume. I like it but found that my perfect amount is 2-3 drinks, not 5-6. Finally for weed I've not gone back to it. It made me anxious and I don't miss it.

If someone else had gone through my experience, they may have come back to a completely different distribution of usage. And in fact I know many people who do various combination of the 3 because of the way each affects them. We're all different.
