My friend had a very similar episode with a psychosis, but turned out to be bipolar, not schizophrenic. Sounds very similar though!

He was smoking a lot of weed leading up to and during the psychosis.

Ended up in psychiatric ward for a month, which was followed by a couple of years of depression/introspection/therapy, but is now doing great with lithium.

A bit sad as the thing that made me decide to not even try their app (which looked cool!) was the abysmal performance (in FF).

When starting my freelance career back in 2012 I had a pretty simple idea on how to track time using only google calendar and this tiny web app I wrote. Used it literally every workday since then, and even got a colleague (another freelancer) to use it with the quote “the first time tracker to ever work for me, and I’ve tried a lot!”. He is still using it last time I checked.

So I guess it is actually used by one more person than me!

Yes mainly. Pippi, Tommy and Annika also goes to his little island where he is king, and the language in that chapter is not the greatest!

It is also absolutley filled with the n-word (at least my Swedish edition from the 90's), which always makes for an interesting challenge having to censor and come up with alternative words as you go.

A friend of a friend had a break in in his house last week and could see the burglars in his kids room via his cameras on his phone.

He also had the hopeless feeling of there being nothing to do, but had some sort of Eureka-moment and started playing “Fuck the police” on max volume on the floor above (all via his phone), and that apparently sent the burglars running!

(When he later talked to the cops they did call him a genius but questioned the song choice.)

I have been wondering about this as well, about what would happen to AMD/Intel Hackintoshes if Apple was to switch to their own processors. However, wouldn't the assumption that they would stop working also assume that all current Macs (which run Intel processors) would also stop working? Would there not have to be at least like 5 years of continued support of at least Intel processors which would also mean that Hackintoshes could keep working?

Disclaimer: I do not know very much about Hackinthoses, but I have been wanting one more and more the for the last couple of months when more and more successful AMD builds have been created!

Yes, for some reason reading/looking at this made me super nostalgic as well! Just want to sit in a couch in the mid 90's and listen to CD's and watch Beavis and Butthead and read stuff in magazines instead of on the internet.

Very strong melancholic feeling.

My main takeaway: They're creating a thing called fusion (will be renamed) which will allow you to spin up a rethinkdb instance with a single command which you then can connect to directly from your browser/JS-frontend, no backend needed (kind of like meteor with insecure/autopublish but with rethinkdb instead of mongo and no backend what so ever). The benefit of this is that you very quickly can create an app I guess, just create a frontend and you're good to go.

I suppose you can also setup rules as to what operations should be allowed from the clients, so you they just loop an insert to destroy the DB, but not much was said about security/auth etc.

I think he said they plan to release a first version in two months.

EDIT: Firebase is actually what he compares it to! But since I've worked a lot in meteor that's my first association :)
