If you don't have coding skills, why don't you help foss software by making it more user friendly instead?

I ran into basically this with home assistant. Commented on an issue about an integration to point out that it didn't work at all, and to support another user that had rewritten it in a way that fixed it. The approval dev jumped in to say that they only permit single changes to be approved. That's fine, I guess, but to fix the issue multiple changes were necessary. The user that had rewritten it then tried to limit the change to a single fix, but because that didn't resolve the issue they blocked the change. The integration still doesn't work and the user stopped trying to fix it.

Anxiety and depression on Vyvanse

Reply in thread

Tell your doctor exactly what you are saying here. There are two general strains of ADHD meds, and even amongst those two the variants tend to have certain side effects.

For me, I had very similar side effects from vyvanse. It did make me very conscious and able to live totally in the moment, which was wonderful. However, it also gave me bad anxiety. For some time my Psych tried to counter that with anti-anxiety meds, but it did not work, so I was switched to Concerta. Concerta and Ritalin are from the same strain, and if Vyvanse is not agreeing with you, it may be a great reason to switch.

Experience with Vyvanse, does it get stronger over time for anyone else?

This is what my prescriber recommends with stimulants. They are very helpful for adhd, but hopefully not required for all functionality. From what I understand, if that seems to be the case, a stimulant will be paired with and anti-anxiety or anti-depressant for daily use to, hopefully, decrease the need for stimulants.

For myself, taking a day or two off seems to help the efficacy of the stimulants. I'm not able to take vyvanse, as it ended up giving me terrible anxiety, but that will happen for some. I'm doing well on concerta instead, but the same principle applies.

TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture

Reply in thread

Intel's factories are literally 2 hours away from the TSMC facility. There are several other chip makers near to Intel, and staff tends to shift around between these, and I believe that will continue. I do not know what TSMC is doing for a talent pool, though I also heard they are not staffing the Arizona facility with high end engineering. That will stay in Taiwan, and this plant will be focused on production.

This won't help small devs. Here's why:

You have zero market. Pay to make your own payment portal, processing, etc etc. With what? Venture funding? Personal investment? Offload to square or PayPal and they take a cut instead?

Apple charges 15% (not 30% for under 2 mil) of each $1. Making 85c per transaction with no upfront costs seems reasonable.
