Maybe the 10% quit over that, and they spun it as layoffs.

NSAIDs are anti-inflammatories. Analgesics are anti-pain. Completely different mechanisms.

I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus in my knee this year. My doc (well-respected pro sports ortho in Austin) put me on ice and rather long term Naproxen (NSAID). So not every doc has gotten with or believes in the new thinking.

> All I can say is that I have never been so insulted (even by the likes of my moronic sister (who seems to delight in making me uncomfortable (and she is so good at it, knowing just how to push my buttons (which I think is a skill that all siblings possess to some extent (which I believe proves some sort of genetic link (despite the fact that I really enjoyed genetics in school (relating on so many levels to Gregor Mendel and his peas (but of course peas make me gag, since my throat swells when I eat them)))))))) as I was by someone suggesting that I have ADD.

Brilliant.

I tend to write with an excessive amount of parenthesis with context/tangents. I used to joke it was due to Lisp/Scheme being one of my first languages. Took me a few years to realize the ADD connection.

I do this to get it out, then I rewrite it to take all the parentheticals out.

Those parentheticals can be rewritten with commas, which sent me on an exploratory tangent trying to see if one could use commas instead of parens in Lisp.

But several layers of parentheticals delimited by commas are ambiguous to parse in the general case.

That's interesting. What did you find?

Like a sibling commenter said, commas are not enough to be unambiguous. Ambiguity is fine in prose, because we can resolve it from context, but computers need something clear and well structured.

you also have dashes for parenthesis.

Me too - I try to avoid parentheticals in polished writing because they're usually there to avoid having to decide if something is really important. If it's not important, take it out (or if it's a very technical detail that can be skipped on first reading, maybe put it in a footnote (uhoh, I'm doing it)).

Linus overuses parentheses. Or rather, parenthetical remarks. It's interesting.

It still needs Yoda speak to qualify as lisp.

Is use of deeply nested parentheticals really a sign of ADD? Certainly, nesting the parentheticals deep enough to overflow your mental context stack will lead to losing the plot. However, if both you and your intended listener have the capacity to keep all of the contexts in memory, it wouldn't seem to cause problems.

Hehe honestly this is what often happens when I do journaling with my stream of consciousness text editor: https://enso.sonnet.io

Hard to keep track of the parentheses though as the text disappears after 3-4 lines.

I was also experimenting briefly with a graph-based text editor where o could keep my tangents in check but still have some overall structure.

I bet they speak with a lisp.

That sentence seems enough like some bastardized version of shakespeare[0] and Lisp that I bet you could get it to compile in some dialects.

Looks like the author has been writing Scheme code on the weekends..

All the parentheses close at the same point, though.

Lest anyone get triggered by the subject matter into actually trying to find this, it's from https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2019. (We changed the URL (more at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34018429).)

Thank you!

Same as it looks coming out of your nose or throat - clear to whitish/yellowish.

Three years ago I started a side hustle in the golf industry to pay for my obsessive love for the game.

Never really talked about it in my software circles (until now), but it’s probably time, as we’re doing mid 7-figures/yr, growing rapidly, and have three ft employees (sales and shipping). It’s become my ft gig as well and I couldn’t be happier.

Currently I’m considering hiring another dev with a similar passion for the game, ideally someone with computer vision experience. Austin location preferred but would consider remote.

Very interesting! I once had the idea to build a training bot to suggest optimal swing direction and strength as well as feedback on how you did. Since you mentioned computer vision - is there some similarity to your product?

No, we’re tracking ball flight (in one of our future products).

What do you currently track? What was the product that you made the money on?

fyi, the long loom url in your post is causing this page to be nearly unreadable on iPhone Safari. Have to squint to read tiny text or scroll horizontally.

29 on fifth try, on iPhone Safari. Love it!

For anyone curious about treatment for latent toxoplasmosis, this was an interesting read: https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mBio.00381-19

I’m a former practicing veterinarian, had 13 outdoor cats as pets as a child and several indoor cat pets over my life, and so almost certainly am in the 1/3rd of humans who are infected/affected.

As a person affected, have you taken Guanabenz/Wytensin?

> Unexpectedly, guanabenz caused nearly half of the chronically infected mice to die within the first 10 days of drug treatment (Fig. 6B). Mice that succumbed to the guanabenz treatment developed classic symptoms of Toxoplasma encephalitis, including lethargy, tremors, paralysis, and seizure. None of these mice showed signs of active infection at the start of guanabenz treatment. These results suggest that the mice experienced reactivation of encysted parasites rather than continuation of a severe acute infection, but we cannot rule out the presence of lingering tachyzoites at the start of drug treatment. The mice that survived the full drug treatment did not display any symptoms of Toxoplasma encephalitis.

So in this case reactivation allowed the immune system to fight and destroy the infection (for those that survived). I don't really understand the part in the abstract about there being a reduction in symptoms despite no reduction in cyst burden (that this was not necessary for a response). Could someone explain?

Nope.

Thanks for your response. This happens to me whether or not I've collapsed any comments or hidden any posts. Frustrating, because I've tried it on a couple of friends' iPhones and their phones don't have the same problem.

It feels like some kind of issue with the response cache headers sent by the webserver, but since it's not reproducible on some phones or any desktop browser, that's unlikely.

Hmm… yeah nothing to do with hiding. Strange and annoying. :)

Surprising that with all that infrastructure he’s not compacting/obfuscating his JS.

Also surprising, of course, that an expert isn’t doing that redirect server-side.
