Of course they are natural.

I have adhs and I see my weed more like glasses.

Ever thought about that not every brain model/mode is as balanced as the other?

If I can't sleep properly for years, I get depressed. And yes of course I tried everything.

My grandpa had dementia due to his age.

When I visited him for the last time he knew who I was.

But he clearly repeated very similar behavior patterns.

He also showed clear signs of not remembering 'state'. Like time or location.

It was very hard for me because that gave me the feeling that he as a person was gone.

I cried after that for a while and it was basically me saying good bye .

My sister didn't see it like that. She didn't mind doing a sleepover and having her daughter with her. My mother also glanced over that. My other sister agreed on my thoughts.

I liked that she didn't see it like that and spend time with him but I could not do that.

Of course I might be wrong. I don't assume I know how he thought but what else to assume?

I don't think I could do that if my wife started to show similar pattern.

Well, you only feel in the present, so he did feel things even though he may not have been who he used to be. We all are shifting and changing anyway, and our memories give us a sense of coherency, but the present is who we are most readily.

And, it can be terrifying to not know where you are or who you are for some people in those moments. So maybe he found some comfort in those moments with that one sister. That's how I think about it.

Sounds very very boring to me.

I have no clue who would pay someone 90$ for copy and pasting files from left to right.

But if this is true I still don't envy him.

When his gig is up he has nothing to show and is stuck were he was when taking that job.

Also can't imagine doing nothing and feeling not being needed or not making a real difference.

> When his gig is up he has nothing to show and is stuck were he was when taking that job.

The right answer is "start finding a second job, now." Make $180k for 8 hours and 10 minutes of your life! Or alternatively, keep on keeping on and market yourself as a legal document management automation specialist when you bounce.

> Also can't imagine doing nothing and feeling not being needed or not making a real difference.

I have a wife and kids to help me feel needed, and a garden that needs tending when I want to feel myself making a difference. Work is work. 90% of jobs are filled to the gills with bureaucracy and designed to ensure the average employee does very little and accomplishes nothing. Might as well enjoy it when they make it easy to enjoy.

I was for a few years in college a data entry clerk making $12.50/hr. It was effectively copy/pasting with some extra clicks and being a computer science student at the time I wrote an excel connector that did ~80% of my job. It only required me to intervene on especially hard data entry stuff (lots of math or formulas). There really was no benefit to tell anyone I did this. Not because I wanted to be lazy but it would just mean more data entry and not what I wanted to do (automating other people's stuff).

There's loads of these BS jobs out there especially when numpty salesmen are involved. It was relatively soul crushing because it didn't really afford me any extra time to do school work (cube farm yay) but I was able to basically zone out and make money, or stash some homework problems and work them while appearing to stare intently at the screen. I don't harbor any ill will towards them though unlike most of these /r/antiwork losers. They were friendly to me and it was just the culture there that "if it isn't done manually then we dont need a person to do it".

I ended up getting a couple raises and only left when I got my first real SWE job. I got in touch with them recently and there are still some scripts running some important IT processes I wrote many, many years ago running today.

I worked at a small insurance consulting firm in 1994. Before I got there someone did data entry into a spreadsheet but then sorted all the rows manually by inserting and copying and pasting. I read the Lotus 123 manual and showed them how to sort with different priorities. Their mind was blown. They had been spending hours sorting rows and the computer could do it in a minute (it was a slow machine)

Then they would take the spreadsheet data and dial in to a mainframe and type everything in again. This was a system at a different company. They wanted the spreadsheet version for their own local records. I found that the mainframe had a "file upload" feature and I figured out the format.

I installed Linux on another machine, added in some old ISA ethernet cards and had a network. I saved all files as Lotus 123 and .csv and wrote some Linux scripts to convert the data to the format the mainframe needed.

I also wrote some wrappers around "grep" to find anyone's info in the daily Lotus 123 update files.

All of this should have been done in a database but I had just finished my freshman year and didn't know anything about databases and the owner obviously didn't know much about computers in the first place.

Anyway I got a $500 bonus at the end of the summer and a glowing recommendation when I applied to some real software companies the next summer.

I'm a software engineer because I love technology.

Your opinion is fine don't get me wrong but my 4k 55" OLED tv is really really impressive.

It's a marvelous picture.

My DSLR images look brilliant on it, games do as well, HDR is surprising ly nice as well.

We watch most tv shows still on a 10 year old 720p beamer due to image size. 110" is still more immersive than 55". But I do expect being able to buy 110" 4k in a few years either through a more affordable 4k projector or by microled panels.

I can't follow your 4k = full of propaganda Point. Not sure what you mean by it.

I'm into fractal videos (e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cgp2WNNKmQ), and resolution makes a huge difference there. I got a 4K TV largely for this reason, and seriously considering 8K for the next one.

It can be a good migration strategy. Just make sure to fix it in first next Login of a user.

Still much better to have md5 directly in your db.

I fixed something like this just 4 years ago. :|

Sooo let's stop telling companies that security is critical?

Someone could have sent out 200k emails to steal money from 200k people.

I also store all leaked data just for fun. Guess what someone can do when they are out for you?

Writing an API which doesn't leak is very easy. I think it's reasonable to keep security.

Yes I do.

I trust our proof of stake 100% more than arbitrary Bitcoin miners who mine bitcoins somewhere.

At least our normal currency has real stake like people saving money to afford a car, people working and paying of the house they life in, salaries etc

We already have a very well functional proof of stake system.

Indeed. The bitcoin maximalists, like the goldbugs, dream of somehow surviving a collapse in which all that breaks down and they are the sole escapees, rather than seriously engaging with the problems and their fellow citizens. Getting their skin out of the game.

In some cases it's trauma-informed; they are, or know, people who really have experienced that kind of social collapse. It happens a lot in South America. People who grew up behind the Iron Curtain legitimately don't trust their governments either.

This article is literally garbage.

It completely ignores that what Bitcoin is doing is a total waste.

Yes Bitcoin might use energy which might not could be used otherwise but it is literally better for our environment not to use this energy instead of creating heat and hardware garbage.

He also tells a lie that Bitcoin miners are happy to only consume excess energy while Bitcoin miner do the total opposite: they consume as long as it is financial success NOT as long as the energy is unused.

He even tries to make the new York Bitcoin power plant 'green' by stating that it also creates heat for the neighborhood and just bluntly ignores that this power plant consumes natural gas to calculate worthless hashes and heat.

The fact is that plenty of countries ban Bitcoin mining because it disrupts there power network, because it undermines the financial control and because what also happens that people are now able to steal power.

And yes in the USA there are people doing Bitcoin mining today and also paying for ac to cool it down and no one is doing Bitcoin mining because it's green (which it isn't) but because the energy price is lower as the hype of Bitcoin.

That's the only reason.

And it's the most shittiest reasons to burn through energy and hardware.

Fuck you Bitcoin miners fu

> Yes Bitcoin might use energy which might not could be used otherwise

Even using the electricity to literally just pump water uphill would be a better use than to pump it into the blorkchain:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit...

And if the world is looking for something to do with surplus electricity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination#Energy_consumptio...

Considering the fact that 1/10th of the worlds population have no access to safe drinking water, this would be a far better use ;-)

It's the fundamental problem of Bitcoin right now.

Right now and for a few years already this is ongoing and is hurting people and our planet.

And I did put up clear arguments don't put 'i don't respect it's in my mouth. I did not say that.

I'm not saying crypto coins itself is nothing we should research but we don't need to support Bitcoin to continue researching the technology or the idea behind it.

Okay, you're right you didn't say that.

I don't feel that bitcoin is a total waste although I do feel their development roadmap and consensus making community hamper its competitive ability, in comparison to competing crypto coins.
