blodkorv··on iMac G3 – The Mac that saved Apple
i had a waay different view on mac when i was younger and i could really not understand why anyone would like a mac at that age 8-15. It missed games and for me a computer that could not run games was just a typewriter.
blodkorv··on The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
but really, in what way would 32 cores become useful in a home server, except running a bunch of VMs that do nothing or donate money in terms of electricity to folding@home
blodkorv··on Saudi Arabia applied for diplomatic immunity for ten security guards in Norway
Iyad should be glad hes not living in Sweden. We would have just let the security team do whatever they felt like and then offer them some fika when finished.
blodkorv··on The Truth About Starting a Startup
There are definitely sometimes you can make it into a learning experience.

It depends on what kind of risk you are taking and when you decide its time to throw in the towel, and many other factors.

blodkorv··on The Truth About Starting a Startup
Think about all those people who always worked more than everybody else and sacrificed everything just to fail.

There are very few blog posts about those guys. Its the same with people who study 100% more than everybody else to pass a class but still fail.

You hear about those who made it thru, but never the ones who did not have the capacity for their goal.

Its up to you to know where you stand in this and what you want to sacrifice.

But always remember, romanticizing hard work only does good for society but very rarely for the individual.

blodkorv··on Psiloscoby: Psilocybin Brewed by Kombucha
No they had no mental problems prior to it. One of them has constant visual snow combined with hallucination like visions, the first year it was a great source of anxiety and depression. now that has settled, but not being able to focus on text and music because of the visual snow and other issues really makes his life not normal.

My other friend also have visual snow and a constant dulling of his mind.

They did not take big doses and never had major problems before this.

blodkorv··on Psiloscoby: Psilocybin Brewed by Kombucha
I have three friends who all have or have had hppd. I find this lax attitude of psilocybin worrying especially when nobody seems to warn about the dangers of hppd.

One friend of mine had it for 6months and was lucky that it passed away, the two others are in a living hell and will never have a normal life again.

I know its supposed to be rare, but the amount of people i read of having some form of it is too many for me to believe that there are a hidden majority of users that has gotten it and wont report for various reasons.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: Which end to end encrypted mail service do you use
Am using protonmail, because at the time got it, it was the only encypted email service i knew about.

I also trust the company, but this trust is soley based on my feelings.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: What do you think programming will be like in 50 years?
Programmers will be much cheaper.

Making most business software will be as easy as installing Wordpress with plugins today.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: What is your biggest problem?
dicipline, I am trying to loose weight and have good sleeping habits. But it all fails because of the amount of effort i need to put in to keep a routine.
blodkorv··on Attention Is My Most Valuable Asset for Productivity as a Software Developer
This so true its crazy.

I once was a gym bro who believed that deadlift and barbell squats where like the only thing you should do in the gym.

Until i blew my back really hard, doing squats following the 5x5 strong lift program. I really regret that now because it ruined so much for me. I now have constant pain in my back and i cannot do the sports that i truly love doing (boxing and bjj) like i used to.

Now i have a much different view on the gym. I use machines to a greater extent and i focus more on training for health than lifting heavy barbells.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: What's something not possible in HTML/Web-Dev that you'd like to see?
Drag and drop application building like .net Winforms.

The productivity boost of quickly making forms and only coding the button actions is unmatched. No "RAD" web framework on the web is anything near that.

blodkorv··on The Untimely Demise of Workstations
well windows + intel became a much faster and cheaper computer then anyone else could produce. I think its much better this way.

Only weird sysadmin geeks seems to believe there is any real value in using some "workstation" with a custom cpu and os.

blodkorv··on When Computers Were Cool
This happens to pretty much everything as they advances and become better. Try to start a car company today without huge investments and a team of people.
blodkorv··on When Computers Were Cool
Computer where only cool for a small subgroup, now they are not cool. They are as cool kitchen appliances are.

They are mostly a tool to solve problems, mostly problems that can generate revenue for smart business minded people.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: Founders with ADHD, how do you do it?
But if you do have the dificulties associated with adhd then starting and running a company is not for you. At least not to do it alone
blodkorv··on Ask HN: Founders with ADHD, how do you do it?
I partner up with people who dont have the diagnosis. I also dont base my indentity on adhd.
blodkorv··on Study helps explain why motivation to learn declines with age
many things also dont make sense to learn now when i have a decent salary.

Why should i learn howto setup a raspberry pi with a bunch of stuff, when i can just buy commercial products thats does the same things and much better?

If i dont want to create something unique thats not on the market of course. But then i use up all my thinking and creativity at work and i have run out of ideas to create truly unique things.

Also the time it takes to learn and make things is too valuable for me, i rather spend that time on interacting with other people.

blodkorv··on Study helps explain why motivation to learn declines with age
in contrast to everybody who seems to be wanting to learn more by age, i can really feel like my brain is getting calcified.

Things used to be more of a mystery for me and learning would always seem like an way to open things up. There also was a naive undertone of a feeling that the things i am learning will greatly benefit me work wise or that learning howto solder on a mod-chip on a ps1 would make me smarter.

I now view learning much more differently and i find many subjects really boring to learn and not useful at all.

I also know my limits and abilities now when i am 30 much better than when i was 13-25. Before i felt like there was a chance i could be really good at learning something, or that i had some hidden abilities yet to be discovered. But i no know way too well thats not the case.

I much more enjoy simpel things in life now, like eating good food and being with friends. The fire of learning has left me, maybe a bit too early(30) but i already know enough to live the life i want.

blodkorv··on How old is too old to jump into software development?
Depends on how much you want to earn.
blodkorv··on Bye-Bye, Apple
If hes the guy that is content with running openbsd on a thinkpad. Apple for sure is not what he seeks. It maybe was some years ago but the target audience has become too big for people like him to be relevant for apple.

People give computer and os branding too much importance, this is a non issue.

blodkorv··on Adults with ADHD show decreased function in brain dopamine reward pathway (2010)
As an adult with ADD i cast doubts about the diagnosis. I have started to more and more think my diagosis is just a result of not being a high productive high intelligence individual.

I more and more realise that my brain and personality is not the kind that is made for desk work. I find it boring and difficult.

I have done other types of works that suits me better i beleive my life would be so much better if i just accepted that i was never to be sitting at a desk solving problems.

School has always been difficult for me, simply because it hard to learn the things you need to learn in shcool, for more intelligent individuals school is not the same big deal as it is for me. But thats just the way things is. The same way i was not born 2meter tall and an musculuar body.

I beleive that we will see more and more ADD/ADHD diagnosies in the future, simply because automation puts more demands on the individual and the jobs will be more mentally demanding.

I see a future where meds like adderal will be availble in the supermarkets.

Instead of giving people ADD/ADHD diagnosises we should just teach people to accept that not everyone are made for mentally demanding tasks and that not everyone goes thru school without it being a huge difficult task. Parents also needs to learn that their kids might not will be able to compete in the job markets in the future and the solution is not to medicate it away.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: Why don't sites like Facebook offer desktop clients?
Its not harder than supporting android tablets and phones. Its even simpler in someways.

Reading this thread makes me feel like i have been transferred back to 2009-2010.

Am enjoying the nostalgia quite a bit :)

blodkorv··on New Windows exploit lets you instantly become admin
Long time since i heard about windows exploits.
blodkorv··on Which is the stack you usually use to start your side projects?
i use php + jquery + mysql. I can make pretty much whatever i can think of and there is not much overhead. I have made tonnes of various tools for work using this by just creating a php file and started to code with no bs from stopping me implement the idea i have in my head.
blodkorv··on New Lenovo ThinkPad Range with Ryzen 4000 and 4000 Pro Mobile
The problem with doing that is that it sometimes can drift for several minutes and thats super annoying when you are working on something, it really slows down you productivity.
