Once CS became the hot thing to get a degree in, the impact was almost immediate. And based on my experience, it happened a decade earlier than you think. In the early 90s, universities threw students straight into data structures and algor

Exactly. Street ketamine powder is often heavily cut. If I had to buy illegally for some reason, I would only consider buying sealed vials, and I'd probably still have them tested. My ketamine doctor has worked with patients who used t

The negative side effects of ECT can be dramatic and life-changing. I've known people who lost significant chunks of their memory (and that's with modern ECT), and they said it was worth it for them... but I have zero interest in

In a situation like that where you're in pain and anxious to start with, and are not prepared for what's going to happen, I can imagine it would be pretty horrible. I was in a comfortable situation and well-prepared when I got my

You don't need to start your own IV to do it at home. I've been getting IV ketamine occasionally for around 8 years. I've also been using a prescription ketamine nasal spray for most of that time. For me, the effects of the t

I agree. I think people would be far more likely to try it out if you could kick off a dev server from the CLI without having to fire up any extra processes.

Just read it as "4GL" and pretend it's the mid-80s again. Then it will all make sense.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Corporate networks got rid of plain old proxies that just passed anything SSL on 443 many years ago. In order to meet regulatory requirements to record employee communications, pretty much every US compa

I generally leave my clinic about half an hour after my infusion ends, but I'm taking the subway. If I were going to drive I'd probably hang out for 60-90 minutes. The dissociative and psychotomimetic effects wear off pretty quick

$400 is a fairly typical price. The ketamine itself is cheap, but operating a clinic doing off-label infusions that take an hour or two each is expensive. And nope... no insurance in the US that I know of covers it.

It's a huge problem for recreational use. Some individuals have trouble with it even with prescription ketamine, but it's not nearly as common. Last time I asked him, my doctor hasn't had any patients who were forced to disco

A low baseline is common in bipolar disorder, too. It was (and to a lesser but unfortunate degree, still is) very commonly misdiagnosed as depression because of this. It reacts quite differently to drugs than depression; many anti-depressan

Are you suggesting an extension of CSA into fixed income, or a platform for selling/distributing research?

The full dose isn't pushed. It's on a drip IV over half an hour or more. But I fully agree that you should have a competent, experienced doctor doing it, preferably an anesthesiologist.

Oh, and for the record, the crazy-ass geometric animations on the article are not that far off what I get when receiving IV ketamine and I close my eyes--although the real ones are far more complex and change constantly. However, the fear-a

Hey, that's my ketamine doctor (Brooks)! Fantastic guy.
