You’re absolutely correct that a medication isn’t going to react the same for every person. People can have weird or even fatal reactions to medications. Any local pharmacist should be able to answer questions about medications and interactions.

To be clear, I am just saying that if adderall works for someone, vyvanse is likely to work for that person as well, because the drugs are so similar. Vyvanse’s biggest difference from adderall is that it’s a prodrug, meaning that starts off as a drug that has no effects on the body until it reacts with an natural enzyme we have in our colon which causes the drug to turn into what is basically adderall.

Adderall is mixed amphetamine salts.

The mixture is composed of equal parts racemic amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which produces a ratio between dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine, the two enantiomers of amphetamine.

Compared to vyvanse:

Lisdexamfetamine is an inactive prodrug that is converted in the body to dextroamphetamine, a pharmacologically active compound which is responsible for the drug’s activity.

So technically, Adderall is dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine. I can’t speak more to this because of my lack of knowledge but “dextro” and “levo” are “right” and “left”, basically meaning something like the left and right “versions” (wrong word) of the molecule. Vyvanse on the otherhand is just the right “version” (wrong word) of the molecule.

OP: I hear you on not trying different meds, but one of these things is barely different from adderall (still very much a stimulant). Vyvanse is basically adderall xl, just in prodrug form. Apparently other commentors say it is allowed in japan. Prodrug just means that an enzyme plus the drug means your body creates the basically the same exact drug as adderall when ingested. If vyvanse is allowed but adderall is not that’s strange although one of vyvanse’s strengths is that it can’t be snorted, which might make some nations feel better about the drug’s potential for abuse, since it must be ingested to work.

worthless failure can be part of the diagnostic criteria. (not really but somewhat) you may still want to talk with a professional. you have likely developed coping strategies.

There is identity (who you are as a user, e.g, @dipshit@lemmy.world) and there is content (which must be on a server which can be accessed by anyone on the web 24/7 in order for things to work). Mastodon has a really portable system, but importing and exporting data requires that server hosting the data be online 24/7 (or at least when you want to access it, which could be anytime 24/7).

Bluesky’s proposal is nice and clean, but it refers only to your identiy. If bluesky were to go down, you couldn’t transfer your content out of it until it came back up. I think this is the problem nostr tries to solve with relays but I could be mistaken. either way, relays are just another server that needs to be online in order for the data to be accesses.

Dexter looks super sweet. They remind me of my boy who passed away a few years ago. I’ve had a few cats pass now and with each passing I am learning things I wish I knew sooner. One of those things was trying to keep senior cats hydrated. I didn’t realise older kitties should not get dry food, only wet. With this boy I gave him some electrolyte hydration packs for cats and wet food and tried to give fluids often but didn’t keep up well enough. in the end it was the vet overusing methamizole when he didn’t need it. The whole reason I am writing this though is because our now only cat doesn’t tolerate fluids but loves having their wet food mixed with an equal portion of water, making it into a bit of a soup. It took me 3 cats to realize this so I wanted to pass it along in case it helps Dexter in their older years.

Good kitty

My cat is like a damn faucet sometimes.

One process for every thread! now this is computing!

Or, you could just pick one computer, have it do the work and punish it by taking its money if it screws up (ETH).

But yeah you’re not wrong about minable coins.

Men’s shelters are needed. Men are also survivors of domestic abuse.

Tech is hard, leaders aren’t always technical. AI is great at bullshitting, and it’s swooned many CEOs into thinking it will 10x (make them 10x more efficient than they previously were) existing employees / replace the need for programmers. Lots of leaders just look to what other leaders at companies are doing - some see what elon does at twitter as proof that downsizing drastically won’t kill your company.

Programming is like editing a book with many chapters. New developers need time to learn the story line of the book before they can begin editing anything. If the book has been around and edited continuously for over a decade, it’s going to take some time for those developers to understand the book well enough to start making meaningful contributions. Lots of these tech companies have multiple books each with many chapters, and one thing leadership either doesn’t realize or doesn’t seem to factor into the equation is that maintaining these books and all their story arcs and character development gets harder and harder over time. Truly in the tech industry, it’s more expensive to train a new hire than it is to promote an existing hire.

But again, leaders are listening to folks like elon musk…

Raise ‘em right!

ESLint will hurt your feelings.

Anyway, I didn’t setup the tooling, and it can be configured to enforce code styles, as it does with each commit. It also enforces rules, but can enforce code style as well.

y?

lots of languages have linters to enforce style. Examples are jslint/eslint phplint, etc…

security is hard and complex. companies don’t hire security people.

To be fair, so are entire universities.

When something comes up in my feed and I have comments to add, I add them. I didn’t seek this community out, nor am I badmouthing them. Devs gotta get paid, and if they want to add ads, so be it - users may not like it but the devs are free to do so.

though, if ads are desired, maybe don’t just allow self-serve ads without any kind of review. or programmatic ads, or image ads, well, i mean, this is what we open ourselves up to when we include ads, right?
