I agree. There are so many crappy pizza places in NY, especially in Manhattan. It’s a risk trying some random place. NJ has better and more consistent pizza and bagels. That said, I don’t even try to get pizza elsewhere, I’ve had some real

Similar situation... Epilepsy really fucked up my life. It's still so difficult. Anyway, I stopped really caring about work and just focus on being outside, exercising, and a few hobbies. Exercise in particular, especially cardio, help

Which one did you use? Some are fast acting and intense, clonazepam not so much. One of the worst things about generic drugs is that the dosages (maybe even the molecules) can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The FDA rules are that d

I wouldn’t be surprised if this were really common. Interviews are cut throat nowadays, you can bet people will do anything they can for an edge. If prepping 200 leetcode questions is common, PEDs likely are as well. I’ve used .25-.5mg clon

I've heard the advice to give a gift of something that you like, because people are bound to be disappointed if you try to cater to their interest. I'm into cycling, and I've received many cycling-related gifts, many of which

"Transport of the handicap and infirm... ", Cars are not ideal for disabled people. As an epileptic, the driving restrictions are one of the worst parts of the disease. I feel like I'm in a prison. I can't drive to the s

Check out the LGIT (low glycemic index treatment), aka "the south beach diet". It's a more relaxed low-carb diet (80g/day), which has shown similar efficacy to keto for seizure control. It makes it much easier to feel so

It's a last resort because adults can't reliably stick to the diet and doctors know it. People don't even stick to medication very well. It's really only prescribed in kids with severe forms of genetic epilepsy because i

I recently got an electric motorcycle, and it’s a similarly visceral experience. I can hear the tires digging into the dirt and have a much better feel for traction and speed because of it. The effortless (and extreme) torque, with just a s

<tinfoil hat> I always got the impression that there has been a lot of cloud propaganda/astroturfing, even on HN. I'm seeing more of these "on-prem infrastructure" posts, citing costs, efficiency, and cloud complex

We have 10 petabytes of storage and a ~terabyte scale Postgres instance. It runs on a few racks and we get a respectable amount of traffic. It’s not “WeBScALe” but it’s not peanuts. Better uptime than AWS and our operational expenses are n

Taco Bell is constantly adjusting their menu. It seems like they do it more than other fast food places (not that I eat if that often). Mexican pizza is there one day, gone the next. At least they recently re added the nacho fries. I saw a

For sure. I think it’s made the hiring market less liquid. I really did need to study 50+ leetcode questions to do well in an interview. I crashed and burned a few interviews and ended up resigning myself to the grind, and bang, I’d pass th

Good points, but realistically speaking the tech job market is illiquid. "Cutting your losers" isn't possible for 95% of developers, especially if they want to work for ("invest in") unicorn startups and big tech. I

Great point. One issue with your last paragraph though, is when trying to select a company to work for from an equity/ownership standpoint, there isn't the option of diversifying a career. You can only work at once place, so you p

For me, its about the higher level things included. I don't want to write a queue, event system, or cache layer again.

Sounds like a problem that'll fix itself if no businesses can hire. Unfortunately it will probably be on a long time frame.

Never got an order confirmation email for an item I just bought. Not entirely surprised.

It felt wrong trying to pass mine off as an ebike even with a pedal kit, though everyone gets away with it here. Fortunately my moped plates just arrived which allows me to ride it in the bike lanes for streets where traffic is >30mph. G

That would have been fun if the DAO won, just to see how it played out. I suppose $41m is pocket change to some people.

There is certainly wisdom distilled into the texts, they've made it this far. I found the bit about fasting particularly interesting, because its now being studied and proven to be therapeutic, and is mentioned and practiced often in b

Mark 9:14-29, depending on the translation. The translation of biblical fasting is suspected to be one meal a day type thing, like Ramadan. More about the history of fasting and epilepsy here (which also cites the Bible verse, god forbid):

It seemed to have helped my epilepsy. It’s mentioned in the bible as a treatment for the disease, and diet based treatments are experiencing a resurgence in use. Keto is sometimes prescribed in kids with difficult cases, and low GI (the sou

Yes, mopeds and scooters would have been a lot more popular if it weren't for those requirements. I'm sure the class is great for safety knowledge, but seems half irrelevant to electrics and mopeds since its taught on a heavy gas

Maybe the problem is that bike paths are too small? Cars are granted 12 feet per-lane, often with multiple lanes.

Not surprised. They are a lot cheaper, easier to own than a car in cities, and are a lot of fun to ride. A loud contingent view them as a scourge, calling for ebikes to be banned, or otherwise licensed, registered, and insured, which would

sweet, dot complaint, reasonably priced. 2.3kwh battery isnt that big for a 12kw 70 mph bike though, range is probably isnt good, especially on highway, not that i'd want to drive it on one. my favorite mini moto is the sur-ron. $4200,

Agree it's more fun without the elo anxiety. Personally 3+0 blitz hits the spot for me, everyone sucks so dropping a piece isnt a big deal. The popular advice is that blitz won't improve your game, but I don't buy it.

We don't limit the amount of horsepower or top speed of cars and motorcycles. Limiting power and top speed is futile. You can actually enforce speed limits with radar, but checking power output requires testing it on a dyno, which can
