Re:Saffron as an Antidepressant (2018) on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @05:00PM (#27597131)
Because SSRIs take weeks to work, it is theorized that they actual modify DNA expression and other things that are slow to action.

Serotonin itself has little to do with depression at the synaptic level

But it doesn't need to, and we are talking about a modern system.

C was great for its time, now its time to move on and use a sensible language.

Seems like an annoying DoS bug for sure. This is why having an actually secure watchdog is so nice. I still don't understand why people jailbreak in 2021.
Its pretty good but you can get almost all the functionality with venv, make, and pip.

pip install -r requirements.dev, reference requirements.txt in it. It will install dev packages and the main ones.

Re:Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair? on Friday June 18, 2021 @06:37PM (#27555769)
I have two Aerons. They are great and really comfortable. I think in general I hate office style chairs though and I prefer to move around a lot, lounge, or stand up. Its hard to sit for a while.

You can get good refurbs on ebay just avoid madison seating. They are a scam (got sued by HM). They list chairs NEW on ebay that are literally refurbs.

Is it a superhost? I would never book a room that isn't from a superhost. Keep hitting them up on social media they will take notice.
Re:How a Jenkins Job Broke our Jenkins UI on Saturday June 05, 2021 @10:10PM (#27410119)
Its been a while, but basically horrendous UI/UX, unintuitive way to create jobs and manage variables, things like that. I don't know if it was completely rewritten in the last 2 years but it was dogshit awful before 2019.
Re:How a Jenkins Job Broke our Jenkins UI on Thursday June 03, 2021 @06:53PM (#27388483)
I would rather use Jenkins for all of eternity than use TeamCity again. TeamCity is probably the worst CI/CD product out there.

Google absolutely needs to be sued for monopolistic practices. You literally _cannot_ share location data without Google getting it as well. This is beyond ridiculous.
Re:Alternate Instruction Set on Monday May 31, 2021 @12:24PM (#27345670)
The most annoying thing about esoteric wiki articles is missing context. Most of them explain the thing but not HOW or WHY it matters or why it is important.
Re:File Permissions: A painful side of Docker (2019) on Monday May 31, 2021 @10:34AM (#27344457)
Isn't this a bit of an anti-pattern? There really are very few situations in which you should be mounting things in production. Apache/PHP/etc is definitely not one of those situations.
I hardly trust Amazon to ship me authentic toothpaste. Who the hell buys a $7k item?

I try not to buy anything from amazon since FBA is mixed in with knock offs and other garbage items. They have no quality control at all and don't care about knock offs.

This line of reasoning is how to tell the difference between a manager and an engineer :)

Thanks that is actually helpful

Re:The Tether Ponzi Scheme on Wednesday May 19, 2021 @06:00PM (#27215085)
>Is there a meaningful difference between them paying the influencers in USDT compared to paying them in USD?

Yes. You print USDT and pay someone then lie about not printing it.

For the love of god, don't hold any USDT. Its really convenient to exchange cryptos but don't be holding it when the cards fall.

Anyone with a brain knows that piracy is an availability problem, nothing else. Make things available for a reasonable price with reasonable ways to watch and people will do it. Looking at you, HBO in non-USA

Ask HN: How do I get a FAANG job in security?

I have ~6 years of total IT/Cloud experience, most of that in actual consulting (not House Of Lies consulting). I have a lot of experience with strategy, engineering, architecture, evangelism, etc. I consider myself to have both a technical understanding of security and a very deep managerial/non-technical understanding.I would like to get a leadership/management position in a FAANG company,...

Notion is cool but I went back to trello because its so damn slow. The ios app would refresh all the time and fail to sync. The web app was generally buggy.
While the cards are used heavily, thermal cycling arguably is worse than running a card 24/7. These cards do not generally experience any thermal fluctuations and were probably kept within adequate temps
Nvidia literally sells mining cards that do not have outputs

This is all a scheme to stop the used market from ruining their MSRP pricing.

Is it a coincidence that sony and nintendo have horrendous online offerings?
Literally write out every single thing you are doing in the day and then you will realize where the waste is coming from. If you want to do something, put it in your calendar and do it.
Hydrogen seems cool but it has a huge problem with energy density and cost
Not hacked, just working as expected. a 51% attack was well known from the beginning and it is just a consequence of blockchain. Just another reason why private blockchains are just stupid, just like ethereum classic.
