I’ve never been able to focus on most tasks without medication, which I’ve been on as a child. Adderall has worked very well, but over time I’m finding it’s losing potency. I have a feeling extended release is to blame.

Have you ever found yourself becoming more tolerant? How do you reasonably fix that?

“ I do now feel like I understand Dwarf Fortress on a deeper level.”

Is that a pun? It feels like a pun.

You know how it is though. You (the general kind) start building something & want ‘er done quick. People start relying on your code & pretty soon things get out of control. 6 years later, you look back & realize the architecture’s fucked but it’s going to take a team an entire year at least to rework it right. But…

The headline makes it sound like FB passwords were leaked, which isn’t the case. That’s kind of sensationalistic, no?

> realized Facebook was a PHP shop

Nope. FB has moved away from PHP to Hack, which itself evolved from PHP. It’s type safe, supports generics, easy async, & other features. The syntax is KIND OF like a mix of PHP & C#. 

On top of that, a lot of the backend is C++ & Java. Much of the UI is React JS.

Maybe they need to default to private, and making them public requires going through several windows warning you in giant blinking text you need to think about what you’re doing.

Fun fact: I once worked at a large company that’s a pioneer in cloud computing. Our documentation had screenshots of public & secret keys used to access test buckets. This despite me warning that screenshots need to be checked for this, and that information blacked out (not blurred).

Here’s hoping they do useful things when the time comes, like blow GLONASS out of the sky.

I found the new Mexico focus tree super cool. Really highlights the incredible complexities & instability of Mexican politics back then.

Will Kotaku do an article about the Unity keynote? It had a teaser for System Shock 3, not to mention a whole lotta other cool stuff.

This is sickening. I don’t get what’s going on in the world right now. Extremism is seeping into so many sectors of life, vile populism is on the rise... it’s a powder keg & something is going to set it off.

Why the fuck is everyone so angry everywhere??

Once governments get their hands on quantum computers (assuming the NSA hasn’t already), then Telegram’s “true privacy” is no longer a thing.

No, we are not.

Oops. Saw below you were /s-ing it.

I always thought it as an aircraft carrier by way of Charles Dickens.

Far better for this place to become even MORE of an echo chamber.

It's not a coup. The National Assembly is operating under the articles of the Venezuelan Constitution, something Maduro chooses not to do.

No, but you DO sound unhinged.

If Abrams wants to send weapons to the legitimate representatives of Venezuela via convoys, ships, or hot air balloons, I don’t see what the problem is.

I believe that was total equity, not cash.

Wow. Just thinking how sad a game could be if it were Stardew Valley, but set in the Dust Bowl.
