Nope, you can't with ADHD. My interest will be there on random subject, not the one I would select.

And stimulant kind of help. They're not magic... you have to use therapy, exercise, meditation, organisation to cope. Fun. That's maybe why people can be irritable under medication (and which kind... people react differently to very similar molecules so...)
I dislike theories like this; how ADHD, and depression could be mechanisms that evolved because of some evolutionary advantage they give us. I am not denying that could be the case, but living in a world full of stimulation everywhere is vastly different from living in a hunter-gatherer commune. ADHD could just be a neurological defect that never manifested itself in a quiet communal lifestyle, and become pronounced with modern technology.

I don't think there's much point in theorizing how it could've offered an evolutionary advantage, because even if ADHD existed at that time, it would be very, very different from what it is today.
Mike Elgan of therawfeed (a long defunct tech website), used to talk about his minimal travel set up - of a USB with a basic linux distro on it and a very simple word processing set up.

He'd either boot to it to 'hobble' his own laptop and remove all other distractions while writing, or boot to it from other peoples PCs to a set up he was used to and happy to work from when away from home. (Mike was one of the first technomads - or at least one of the first to post about it a lot.)

I had a similar set up for a while which I used with my home laptop or work PC at lunch time, but I never really got into writing as much as I'd hoped I would, so it wasn't that useful for me.
This is my bread and butter.

These kinds of numbers are closely guarded for competitive reasons.

Go chat with the sales or account teams at your employer - they can confirm in broad strokes what I've mentioned.
I prefer websites to apps too. That way the server takes care of storing the data and you don't have to worry about backups.
Still i will never buy apple products again because of their anti open stances. The last product i had from them was an iphone 4.
Is it not cut when it's long? It was the case when I had a smartphone a few years ago, I don't know the state of it now though.
Yup, if your brain gets caught in a feedback loop of "this makes me happy" and "being happy stimulated means we can continue doing this" you can do the fun stuff for hours without a break and disregarding anything that happens around.

Boring (in a non-judgemental sense - plain) tasks very rarely trigger it. You can kinda cheat though by adopting a new exciting system for doing X to achieve X. (You'll likely abandon the system shortly after...)
It feels harder every day to not despise the march of technological progress. There are so many eras of computing and internet that I would've loved to see elongated by 10+ years. Then, at least, we would've had more time to get tired of them. Instead, it feels like we're stuck wondering what we lost, in what feels like a very boring and much less fulfilling internet full of SPAM, bots, manipulation, endless pointless culture wars.

Don't get me wrong either, I think computers today are amazing, probably too amazing to be comprehended, but it leaves little to the imagination. You'd think the ubiquitous access to production-quality creativity and development software for free or cheap with commodity computers that are within the reach of many people across the world would be a fantastic outcome that would lead to a Cambrian explosion of creativity. If the era that desktop towers and Flash Player had engendered was great, you'd expect the era after it to be even more wild. Instead though, it's hard to feel that way. Surely the floor and ceiling of production value have raised a bit, but as people in the retro computing and demoscene niches have no doubt taken notice of, limitations breed creativity, and you lose some of that in a world where the capabilities and access have gotten so good. Sure, indie games are in a decent state, but nobody is going to miss the era of Steam Greenlight the way they miss Newgrounds. And if that didn't hurt enough, Internet creativity was at first enriched, then choked out by monetization, as YouTube elevated and then destroyed the prospects of animators on the platform, putting a disgraceful end to the era of Internet animation that proceeded it. Monetization continues to be a rocky road for legitimate creators and a lucrative pay-day for scammers who just steal things and monetize them. The internet, of course, got choked out by corporations and bad actors who realized it was a cheap way to reach a very large amount of people; and now it's not.

I think the surest sign that computers are not exciting anymore is the gradual decline of the software on it. Sure, there's tons of amazing software, but people dread the new updates. How will Firefox tabs get even dumber and uglier? How will Windows become even brazenly more malicious to the user? Which program that I paid for will turn into a subscription product that I can no longer buy new versions of? Software has stagnated, and now a lot of it is pure rent-seeking garbage. What's not is aimlessly redesigning things in an attempt to be "fresh" and "exciting" but people realize that making their browser tabs less legible while taking up more screen space is not fresh or exciting or an improvement of any kind, because end-users are not impressed by your Dribbble, they are trying to use their computer.

No surprise that it's fun to go back and pretend you're on the scrappy Internet that once was, writing dumb web pages in HTML. It feels like something that would've been taken away from us if there was a way for it to be.
The software always was fairly horrible behind the scenes, albeit with a nice user interface. However I've spent years and years dealing with the sheer awfulness which is VDDK (https://libguestfs.org/nbdkit-vddk-plugin.1.html) which leaves a bitter taste.
How true is this? I thought that being openly racist or anti-gay is a political suicide for both sides of the US political spectrum.
> most of what China does to successfully build infrastructure is literally illegal in the West

The biggest thing China does to successfully build infrastructure is to repeat successful previous designs without modifying them - ie build 10 identical nuclear reactors, bridges, stations etc - and utilise the scale to do it much cheaper (it doesn't matter if your nuclear reactor is 30% less efficient than the latest, if you can build it for 30% cheaper in half the time)

That's not illegal in the west it just appears hard to do.
Nothing because you can already use KVM + oVirt to get something which is reasonably close to vSphere's user interface for all but the highest end users.
>not enough evidence to tell one way or the other.

So they can't say who is at fault, yes. This is hardly a reason to end investigation, no?
There are people who have put their blood, sweat and tears into it. Never a good thing when something dies.
> The US didn't like the Nord Stream for a long-time (or any Russian gas getting bought by the EU) but couldn't get the Europeans to get along.

German here. To be fair: the US did have a point and it would have been a good idea to diversify our gas suppliers many years ago, but it's hard to compete with 4ct/kWh (and that's residential, not wholesale).

The price differential was the key driver behind our industry all but delivering themselves on a silver platter to Putin.
> I wish there was some kind of 2024 equivalent to doing this

Lots of OS support live USB images. It’s only Windows and macOS that don’t (though I’m sure Windows could with a little effort).

> Sony really should have brought the minidisc to the pc as a floppy and cd/dvd rom replacement.

Sony did. But there were already removable writable formats that had larger capacity than a CD back when the minidisk was a thing and they didn’t become mainstream either.

Frankly I think MiniDisk is one of those technologies that people remember as being better than they actually were.
I've used US and UK keyboards with very different layouts, it does not take long to relearn the muscle memory. Or swap it in the bios. Either way it's a non-issue.

Like I said to someone else, I never said it was simple.

It can be beneficial. Depends on how you handle your brain.

And yes I was mainly talking about harder stimulants, they do have side effects, like irritability.
Depending on your hourly rate $1 is only a couple of minutes of your time. Probably less than the time it takes to find the app, download, install, and try it out. I'm not going to sweat $1 versus free when it comes to apps.
Yes, because in the West we never jump the gun on dubious claims. For example, we never invaded Iraq on the premise of imaginary WMD...
Absolutely. Lockdown was a complete revelation to me. The removal of FOMO and the narrowing of options was incredibly beneficial.
Can Proxmox do things like vMotion?
I have a question.

I had a Google Voice US number for almost 10 years that I lost because I could not do a verification from another US number. I verified with Twilio once as I was able to make their product work and receive a SMS from Google Voice but I couldn't make it work the next time.

I had created that Google Voice number back in the day when those SIP apps were a thing which offered you a second number. (I lived in India back then and still am).

I wonder whether there's an international eSIM that I can have without paying a regular "keeping the SIM alive" fee or paying a really really low free and recharge it whenever I want to actually use the data or SMS or calls when I need it which is usually when I travel?

Does any of these providers a retainer SIM that is kinda "pay as you go but no need to pay just to keep a SIM to receive SMS or so"? I would definitely need receiving of SMS.
"We will bring an end to it." So we did.

Until the alternatives are cheaper. I would recommend you to read: Not the End of the World, Hannah Ritchie
The local provider is, locally, usually a monopoly or near monopoly.

They want to own the whole customer journey, be able to market/upsell other products, etc. That's why they directly sell service at rates far cheaper than they will let roaming providers access.
You can do it pretty much with a random processor 64GB RAM (RAM is really cheap atm) and a 4080.
Meanwhile, half of CO2 emissions from human causes since the industrial revolution have happened in about the last 40 years or so. Every time we mash the snooze bar for another decade the problem just gets that much harder to solve.
I find the more recent ones more fun because a) it's a shifting target, so you can find something new and b) you get to make people feel old!

Let's see... the release of the film The Day After Tomorrow is closer to 'We begin bombing in five minutes' than it is to today.

The fact that there can exist sizable population of software engineers that are not into video game is disturbing in itself.

Show HN: Mail Clipper copies mailto links to your clipboard

Sounds like customers were not familiar with how Mr Tan plays ball, he's been doing this forever. He isn't trying to kill the cow, he will famish the cow to the point where the cow will be alive enough for him to milk his required rate of return and not an ounce more. Its a risky strategy, but Tan is loved by Mr Market so he gets the benefit of the doubt.
American capitalism runs on slave labor from South America, Asia and Africa. Our politicians rail against immigration and globalism while brown people cut their lawns and clean their homes for scam wages. The party that championed globalism and outsourcing is the same party that's now complaining about the intended result.

This is why people say there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. To simply exist within the system of American imperialism is to be complicit in crimes against humanity.
Except with most of these esim apps, you can't. You need a little data to buy more data.
I think the strokes are a bit too broad for meaningful conversation
Land value tax is enough imo. Wasting land potential and speculation is heavily disincentivized by it. Penalties for not renting would be gamed in no time.
> Nobody really reads 18 chapters of documentation before making keyboard mappings. I make keyboard mappings and I read 0 chapters of the documentation. 0. Zero. How? Just like you do anything else in software these days? Looking it up, jumping directly to the documentation I needed to learn how to do key maps.

Yes, and that's the approach I used multiple times, the same approach that helped me learn Vim. The learning curve is much steeper, and Vimtutor is much easier to comprehend than the C-t h tutorial.

That's what I tried to say in the first comment, and people attacked me by saying Emacs has awesome documentation. Now you're attacking me, saying that documentation doesn't matter and nobody reads it anyway...

I'm a happy Airalo customer. But also, I don't expect to get any customer support from low margin convenience services like these. If my eSIM stopped working for whatever reason I'd just shrug and buy a new one. Why fight with some underpaid customer support agent when there are sights to explore...
Yeah but that's the point. The spectrum is way too broad. For some people that's their daily life.

For me it's either I get paralyzed and depressed for a week or two and basically can't get anything done. Or I kinda work "normal" (maybe just being a lot faster than neurotypical people, but certainly not longer). 18 hour hyperfocus sessions only occour every few months for me.

"Failing upwards" - I thought it was like the tooth fairy, santa or the boogey man that they tell kids to scare them.

Then I went to work on a high performing team in a high performing organisation and discovered that even in that environment there were people promoted to get them away from stuff they were a) terrible at and b) had made a total mess of.
If you're getting data from a GPS, then the velocity readings are ground speed, which is the data input you need for an inertial navigational system.
Here is why I don't buy that the US did it.

Any of these theories would require that Nordstream 2 also be destroyed. It remains. Germany has had all this time the option to turn it back on. They have declined. They refused to certify it well before the pipeline was destroyed. There was no dragging them to that position.

I am not really sure why Europeans get consistently treated as poodles being led around with treats or being beaten with sticks in geopolitical discussions.
FruitCo and the Chocolate Factory love to ramble on about "security" but considering how "untouchable" these companies are, coupled with their evasive, callous behaviour toward "users" as well as any reasonable notion of transparency, it would be insane to assume they care about you or your data even one iota, except to the extent they can exploit you. And they can do so with ease. The risk of losing you as a "user" is almost nonexistant. There is nowhere else to go. Thus, the greatest threats to a computer owner's "security" are, in fact, FruitCo and the Chocolate Factory. There is no defense and no escape. Common cybercriminals are a joke by comparison.

FruitCo and the Chocolate Factory will never allow computer users to protect themselves from FruitCo and the Chocolate Factory. "Trust" is assumed. It's not like they ever ask you, "Do you want to trust us?"

Of course, you can always give up and ignore the threat. You can claim you trust one of these companies. You can wax on about how one is better than the other. But the threat remains. They can do whatever they want, no matter how irrational or "evil", and we are watching them do so in real-time. It did not take much to get them to show their true colors. What if business were to really get worse. Imagine what they could do. They could set new levels for douchebag behaviour. Unstoppable.
Thank you for posting my blog here!

I've improved my writing over time, so reading an older post makes it feel dated.
I'll try to post more rigorous technical articles this year.
You are just wrong. Why do people like yourself use the word deregulated like you actually know how the Texas market works? Customers have not had rates that high for years and even then, it was because they opted into a real time rate plan which meant the rest of the time they were paying very low amounts. Those plans were outlawed in the deregulated Texas energy market. I guess that’s a form of regulation. Now a days, like the article you linked, that references the wholesale market not the retail market.
Better to have an AI agent which can add the company by one-click with name (even better if it can update with the latest news)
If that's the case it didn't work - the goal of a negotiation is to come to an agreement. It's trivial to disagree.
And $10/GB is crazy expensive when local Sims cost $0.10/GB in many places.

Those of us who survive childbirth and childhood probably do work longer hours than some of our ancestors.

Being out of things to investigate is a reason to end investigation. It is possible to follow all leads to the end and still have no conclusive evidence.
I can't exactly. The Enterprise SaaS industry is very small. Ask around over drinks during a cyber trade show like RSA or Blackhat.

Two new V-Farms, one as the third of three owned by one comapny, the other as the second of two owned by a second company.

My guess is that the coal could come from wood? The heat could definitely come from nuclear power.

Are there any digital tools that would replicate the workflow of drawing with ruler and compass? I've tried dozens of different apps but none of them get it quite right. Here's my wishlist:

Compass:

— Set a radius and "lock" it in place.

— Move the origin of the compass anywhere, without having to set the radius again.

— Press down to draw an arc (CW or CCW), starting and ending anywhere along the radius.

— Ability to snap to other lines and intersections.

— Hotkey to draw in increments, like 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°
etc.

— Ability to draw the arcs as guides to aid in geometric construcion.

Ruler:

— Change the angle of the ruler

— Move the ruler without having to set the angle again

— Press down to draw a line, starting and ending anywhere along the ruler.

— Ability to snap to other lines and intersections.

— Hotkey to rotate in increments of 10°, 20°, 30°, 45° etc.

— Ability to draw the lines as guides to aid in geometric construcion.

+ A fill tool to color shapes.
It's more of an American cultural trait. People are fearful and obsessed with safety. They can be vocal and overreacting for trivial stuff. They often act in a virtue-signalling manner and put stickers on their cars. Before anything gets done, millions of tweets and reddit comments have been written.
Uh nice! I also have very reasonable explanations why it was Russia, the Ukrainians, the Chinese or Poland!

I can even go for some of the middle-eastern countries or the nefarious Danish! Should we like found a forum or something were we can trade things that come to our minds unasked?
Airalo made getting a SIM in India so much easier. The KYC checks they introduced are poorly understood by local vendors making it really painful to get a local SIM.

Also, being able to pre-purchase the SIM card means you can immediately browse when arriving. When we arrived, the WiFi in Chennai airport couldn't deliver the OTP to our foreign phone numbers, so without the pre-purchased eSIMs we wouldn't have been able to get internet.

I don't like it that they charge such a premium, it makes having data as a tourist somewhat of a privilege. Also, local SIMs typically offer beside data also a local phone number, which can be really helpful.
It's interesting that the article states that Infliximab is more expensive than Adalimumab.

> anti-TNF drugs, such as adalimumab, work similarly to infliximab and are significantly cheaper, more research is needed to establish whether they’re clinically effective

Adalimumab has been extensively tested and has been prescribed in the UK for at least 9 years - as that's how long I've been on it. The NHS wouldn't be prescribing it if it wasn't clinically effective.

Both medications are monoclonal antibodies for TNF-alpha, but are slightly different in formulation. Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody derived from a mouse/human cell lineage, whereas Adalimumab is derived solely from human sources.

My understanding (from the consultants at the research hospital where I am a Crohn's patient) is that Adalimumab is a) more expensive than Infliximab and b) less likely to trigger the patient to develop an immune response after a long prescription period, as the chimeric cell lineage can be recognised by the immune system as "foreign" after a while. I'm not a clinician so I can't really speak to the correctness of this statement, but anecdotally that's what I have been told by my consultant.

I am not sure that Infliximab is more expensive either. From what I understood at the time of my prescription, Adalimumab (Humira) was the more expensive drug, although prices have dropped significantly since then.

We got a generic Adalimumab formulation on the market in the UK about 3-4 years ago - until then, we were using AbbVie's Humira which I believe cost the NHS about £400/pen at the time. As I understand it, Infliximab is cheaper than this - although the generic Adalimumabs are also cheaper (~£80/pen IIRC).
