Arpa is used for all kinds of random chance things, not specifically for lottery. I feel like ticket would still be the equivalent but I guess that would be more transliteration and opinion than direct translation? Also my view for lottery may be skewed due to the Finnish lottery culture, and how lottery has more meanings in English. Sorry turned ranty.

It would be more like .mold.ticket

morjomon Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)

Guild Wars 20th anniversary is just around the corner. Some of us are expecting an update like the 15th Anniversary one.

Yeah I took a gander at GSMarena and your feature set hasn't been made past March of 2019 or so, which is a shame. I liked my Sony Xperia Compact, so if there ever was a pixel phone of that size I'd get one.

morjomon Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice

The waking up part is called hypnopompia and the falling asleep part is called hypnagogia. Hallucinations are known to occur during these phases between wakefulneas and sleep (e.g "I have hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations") )

morjomon Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice

I can relate. I got diagnosed a bit after taking the pandemrix vaccine, after I started showing the symptoms, back in 2010-2011. As mentioned by someone, sodium oxybate is one medicine to maybe look into, but I don't think it'll necessarily help with wakefulness, more so with sleep and cataplexy.

morjomon Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice

In my experience cataplexy has been more of a numbed feeling, when you sleep on your arm or like you can't feel the muscle but you can feel the skin (which I guess makes sense since cataplexy -is- the sharp decline or loss of muscle tonus)

Sleep paralysis has been more of a tree trunk experience, where I can feel everything and use my senses, but not move (usually paired with hallucinations).

(N1 over here aswell! Although mine came from some unfortunate circumstances rather than from birth )

Pleasantly surprised to find an article/blog on narcolepsy on HN.

All of the described experiences sound familiar, except the vivid dreaming while awake. Sleep paralysis, been there, always having dreams when asleep, yup (although for me MOST dreams are also lucid, which can get kind of get tiring, as I feel like I don't get as good of a rest.)

Cataplexy is a side thought now aswell, thanks to medication.

morjomon A Beginner's Guide to Switches

Hall Effect switches are a pretty recent (re)addition to the keyboard market, so it might be difficult to find an out of the box ergo keyboard with HE on them.

Most of them are on gaming keyboards due to the possibility of getting super small actuation and rebound windows for faster input.

So you'd probably need to do some DIY (there are switches available for purchase, might have to do more reasearch).

morjomon A Beginner's Guide to Switches

For a current day overview of mechanical keyboard switches I don't think buckling-spring is that relevant. Deskthority probably has pages for it though.

morjomon A Beginner's Guide to Switches

Membrane "switches" have a pretty high actuation force all things considered (40-100g+), which is what the older MS keyboards use. There are plenty of mechanical switches that require less force to actuate, and Hall Effect switches can even have an adaptable activation point.

morjomon A Beginner's Guide to Switches

Another semi recent one were optical switches (uses a tiny laser for when to actuate, lowest latency).

Hall Effect is the one that's probably going to stay longer, due to the possibility of changing the actuation point to your liking.
