it only takes a couple days to lose your tolerance. if you have to use melatonin, try the smallest dose you can

great comment. as an independent game developer i’ve noticed similar things about game players. they are more entitled than saas product users for some reason.

i think it’s because they go to games for fun. if there’s a bug in a game, it ruins their fun. a bug in facebook— who cares? you can just come back tomorrow. and a bug in a saas product, slack or gmail is a reason to go home from work early.

i agree with the dsa and chapo style socialists on everything except this issue. the “affordable housing” thing drives me absolutely crazy. pass laws that enforce affordable housing if you can, but the zoning thing is the biggest issue.

their argument is always aesthetic as well. “nice homes are replaced with big brutalist nightmares.” the guy on the street would much prefer to live in a modernist building.

other people have addressed the problems with your position so i would just like to add that you’re wildly insensitive if you really think that this is due to the irresponsible habits of the poor.

i still think brasseye is better, but onn was very good too

that’s what happens to me, except it’s delayed by 30 seconds because it loads so slowly.

the second paragraph is just not true. every popular website without privacy as a selling point has dozens of trackers. journalism and social media have been tilted heavily towards clickbait because ads are perceived as the only way to make money. the only companies that will get to continue doing what they do without much hassle are widely liked services like netflix and spotify.

there’s a great npr interview with him. apparently he never owned more than $75 worth of doge at today’s value.

this is my favorite wolfe as well. i was taking undergrad classes in architecture and my dad gave me the book. it made me realize that all my classes were avoiding the negative or downright stupid aspects of modernism.

my favorite part was how mies van der rohe liked buildings that looked “authentic” with undecorated steel beams visible, but because it was against the fire safety code in the usa he just glued some i-beams to the side of his chicago skyscrapers. the guy literally decorated buildings to represent a lack of decoration. this is the guy famous for the slogan “less is more.”

i am hopeful for the idea that shifting from ads to paid services will reduce clickbait. right now may be seen as the yellow journalism moment of the internet.

freeway driving causes less accidents than street driving

i couldn’t find how the “trap card” was determined

tried playing a game that uses fn keys on my friends new macbook and they just didn’t work lol. everyone i know seems to hate that bar thing for one reason or another

my next computer will not be a macbook

when i read the first couple posts i was already thinking that mark/recall would be a huge extra step of complexity. adding mark and recall to the simplest traveling salesman problem is already a pretty challenging thing to comprehend. glad this guy didn’t just skip it because it doesn’t fit into traditional cs graph theory.

correct, but also this person gave themself a hard goal of beating 9 storylines, not one. this is essentially a traveling salesman problem where the salesman has to talk to 9 sets of ordered lists of 3-10 people, and can work on them simultaneously, along with a couple other things. the author quickly realized that brute force wouldn’t work and chose a genetic algorithm instead.

the normal unpatched speed run of morrowind basically involves gaining the ability to run at hundreds of miles per hour, getting two items, getting to the final boss and killing him in one hit. takes about 5 minutes. hilariously the item is called the “boots of blinding speed” and let’s you run incredibly fast but turns your screen black while equipped

i’m a moderately anxious person that grew up around people who were really ok with psychedelic use. i did it in college with pretty much no baggage going in... multiple times... i’ve basically never had a positive experience, and i’ve had two really bad trips that i kept getting flashbacks to in the months after. i got over both eventually.

to me acid, peyote and mushrooms just make you feel kinda sick, maybe giddy for a while and you see weird stuff. by the end you always want to go back to normal before it’s done, or at least i did. that’s why they’re not addictive usually

i think a simpler explanation is that they believe binge-watching long shows leads to better retention (they’ve said this) and as a result changed their algorithm to prioritize items which people keep watching, not items which people will rate highly.

Netflix basically wants to be a black box where people enter and are entertained for two hours a day forever. mind-expanding or emotionally affecting movies don’t really do that.

thanks for making your point with humor, it’s underused on hn. i agree with the sentiment too

on that note, i read a book on blizzard's history "stay awhile and listen" that was not worth it. maybe it was because i read it right after masters of doom, but it felt like they were afraid to say anything negative, and as a result it's boring and also very hard to learn from whatever failures and successes they had.

The article you linked looks to be about how they banned someone who said that a shooting last month was a 'false flag' and the victims were paid actors... This is not the time this horrible false narrative has been applied to a shooting, alex jones promoted an identical story last year.

These things are always actually about the alt-right getting kicked out of a service, they say the service is now dead and doesn't care about "free speech" (argument doesn't hold on a private platform), they make their own competitor and it's filled entirely with hate speech (voat, gab, hatreon). the reason only horrible people go to those competing sites is because everyone else knows the positions are nonsense.

i have adhd and a good number of friends and coworkers with it too (people with adhd tend to attract one another). i can mostly speak for their social life because that's what i've seen, and also they're not obsessed with intelligence like some hn readers.

the no filter thing is the most noticeable part. it can lead to extremely unprofessional management at worst (along with problems organizing). the upside is that it creates people who naturally come off as relateable and funny; because any conversation with them immediately feels casual and fun, they happen to be great at hosting podcasts and doing standup comedy (i believe most successful comedians have adhd, and many admit it). in a business setting they can be very convincing without you noticing it.

it's more like a personality type than a disorder, and really it's considered a disorder because it's a personality that hates sitting still in class and listening to a teacher for the first 22 years of life. most successful people i know with adhd had some weird career path where they didn't do great in school, switched focus many times and then careers during their 20s.

so you're against the idea of social networks?
